when I was at school today I noted down a few things from the network section in system preferences on the macbook when connected: IP4 IP 10.35.121.66 Subnet mask 255.255.252.0 Router 10.35.120.1 DNS 10.35.123.3 Domains dsch.internal.net any of that help? thanks

They use XP PCs as standard, on every computer in the building, including the school laptops. Access to pretty much everything is restricted. Thanks

Mattbook, Please don't stick up for him. My last school's technician was brilliant, there was one of him, he also contracted to 2 primary schools, and yet a computer never went unrepaired for more than a day. In my current school, there are 2 technicians. It took an entire year for my teacher...

yup, still the same problem. I'll give this a go as soon as I can. Is there a way to do the first bit on OSX? If not I'll wait to the new year, getting a new HDD christmas so will have room for XP. Thanks!

Good news. I had a conversation with yet another member of staff. He also organises the business side of things at school. Turns out he's also sick of the technician, as business associates can't access the internet at school. After some conversations he's had, he told me that within the next...

Hi I use my Macbook for school and Mac Pro at home. I've recently noticed that notes which I remember making aren't there on my macbook. I can see them when I set finder to show hidden files, however. So something is quite wrong. My work, mostly docx, is being hidden, seemingly at random. Any...

Fair enough. Didn't see it. I have every intention of doing so, only problem is time. I have more time to try bypassing whatever he's set up than I do to write a letter. I'll do it when I've got all my work out the way i think... Thanks

yeah.. thanks... that was real helpful...

Is there not another way to get internet? He hasn't added me to the network, but I can still get my emails... He won't do it, and he was particularly rude to me when I asked him. I intend to write a letter of complaint to the headmaster, but I haven't had time recently, it'd just be easier to...

I can't ask the technician - he's the problem. My ICT teacher thinks so... under the WINS tab i think it was, there was a selection to choose from in the drop down. That anything to do with it? Any other way I can find out? Thanks

Hi I just tried it. I get IP and DNS, but still doesn't work. I don't understand what you mean about the Windows Active Directory or it being a domain... any more instructions? Thanks

Maybe? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to networking on that scale. If more info is needed, let me know how to find out and what software I need and I'll do it Thanks

Hi I have recently purchased a Macbook for school. However, the technician, who, according to both me and all of my teachers, is lazy and should have been fired a while ago, refused to let me connect to the network. His exact words were, 'I can't be bothered.' Anyways, I've got the wireless...
