Yeah, email uses it, web uses it, everything that uses a domain name has to have some way of resolving the name to the numeric IP address. The DNS server entire are numeric only, otherwise you would need a DNS server to find the DNS server. I did a Google on Public DNS. Here are some. Enter...

I am amazed. Win95. Gotta love it! :D Mikey

These are very good units and well worth the cost. You should not go for dollars when looking at protection, less dollars will equate to less protection, bad warranties, and shorter life. Go for one of these and be assured your stuff will be well taken care of by both the units and APC...

They had Apple replace the memory and it fixed the problem. At 6 mos old, your PB is still in warranty and you should take it in and let them replace chip. Also, highly recommend AppleCare. It may seem expensive, but will be well worth it 2 years from now and the PB starts dying. Mike

Finally someone said it right. You need a router to share the Cable modem or DSL modem on a network. Some newer modems now include a switch (as explained above) so a router is inside the modema s well as the switch. Having more than one switch and connecting computers to switches to computers...

My first thought here is DNS or DHCP. The Macs using DHCP sometimes do not get the DNS settings from the router, if they are there in the first place. When you go to your network pref, you say it has an IP address but may not be able to connect to internet. this usually means your IP in tcp tab...

It's a program. it RUNS on winblows. No Mac will run it witout an emulator like VPC.

I would have been ROFl at that one. There is no .mac support at all. Just try and get someone to help with email not responding every day between 11:00 and 12:00 est, or why the .mac home page won't show up, or "where are the discussions?". Heh... .mac support. Funny. But seriously...

I am curious because my G4 will not boot from 9 either, it's the design of that model. but my restore disc does boot it, into X. Mike

You can also boot from the Restore CD and just install Classic. It is what I did on my G4 and it worked fine for my Classic apps without a full blown OS 9 install. Mikey

I seemed to remember tis happening to one of my clients. I never did find out why it happened, just noticed none were selected. Glad to help. Mikey
