Thanks for the response. I can see the sense in what your saying & I don't want to sound (too) dopey but my machine won't connect - I open up the internet connect, highlight the password, re-enter over this & then it'll connect. This has happened at least five times over the last month with no...

Hi, I have an adsl connection - speedtouch usb modem, mac mini, 10.4.5. about once a week my machine won't connect to the inet. (failure to negotiate a connection) I noticed that my password seemed to be 'longer' than it should be - I re-type it & I'm back in business. How can my internet...

Thanks for your response - I'm really new to networking & still fairly new to macs. I set the sp -> sharing -> int. but got lost on setting up the ibook gateway. Could you give me a bit more info - in the airport/TCp/IP box how do I set the router (manually:address)? apologies if this is a dopey...

Hi, I have a usb modem on my mac mini - works fine. I also have an ibook. I've set up my airport express to act as a 'bridge'. Both machines see eachother share printing etc - can anyone tell me how I can let the ibook share the internet connection on the mac mini or alternatively give me a...

Hi all. Since I installed an airport card my mac osx help files take a full 30 seconds to appear - this for every topic sellected. I don't remember messing with anything though it's possible I've managed to move something inadvertantly. I've tried reinstalling osx. I'd be grateful for any...

Just wondering if anyone has anything good (or not so good) to say about this usb wireless product from Asus. It's currently selling on ebay uk for less than half the price of an airport extreme card; claims to have an indoor range of 130mtrs & to be fully OSX compatable. Ibook, 933Mhz...

Thanks Bobw - I'll have a look for klearscreen in uk - I'm sure it's available.

any one have any reccomendations for cleaning tft screens? - I bought some 'anti-static screen wipes' sepecialy designed for tft blah blah non smear etc from maplins - not very good (to be polite). how do people get clean non streaky screens? I'd be grateful for suggestions.

Thanks folks. The Demon 2mb unmetered for £19.99 looks as good as anything I've seen so far - anyone got any feedback?

Does anyone have any current thoughts on broadband in uk? I have a BT line - I'm looking for a deal just for home use - min requirements 2mb - 2gb per month or unmetered. , though no real interest in huge downloads at this time, non static ip address would be good.

Ah me, the power of the net. Sorted & thanks. EL.

Hi Powermac, Yes it was bundled with the panther s/ware - I have about six or seven cd's for panther, plus the world book disk. Tried running the world book disk on the mini but couldn't see an installer on the world book disk.

I'm by no means a mac expert. I have a 933MHz, ibook, 10.3.9. I recently bought a mac mini - 1.5GHz, 10.4.2, to use as a family machine. My 9 year old is crazy about the world book atlas on my ibook & I promised to transfer it onto the mini. I've tried this via migration assistant & via firewire...
