Hi Jennifer (forgive me if you know all of this). First off I presume the pc is wired to a network (hub, switch, router etc), appletalk is just a protocol for sharing files between macs, smb for windows etc, now your internet access device (cable modem, dsl) will have an IP address (this will...

Wasp Format the drive on the mac using disc utilities, FAT32 can be up to 800gb it's just that windows kept it at 32gb as it's not the best file management under fat 32. Anyway format it for DOS under disc utilities, I done this with a Maxtor 300gb and works like a charm., Anyway another...

Hi All Friend of mine has just gotten himself an xserve 10.4.3 server, he used the migration script from an old NT4 box (tis nearly dead). OD is up and running, windows services etc, set as the PDC, can connect to it via afp & smb. Now he's also got two Dell Powervaults NAS (one win200...

Agree with ya Rand H2 was a dissapointment, but the live experience is up there with the best of em. Anyway just a note when downloading the trilogy, OS10 users remember to D/L Aleph One as Infinity seems to have problems running, no problems with forge. Haven't tried anvil.

I played all three and loved all three. Fondly remember the starting tune to M1 then looking forward to lunch hour when the sounds of m2 and infinity would clatter around the design studio for network games. Messing around with the weapon's physics/attributes, flame throwers that doubled as...

Hi All I've setup my xserve and xraid yesterday and when the xserve started software up date recommended some upgrades I didn't do all (QT an iCal) of them but figured I should do the security update, now the thing is when I hook into the sharepoint on the xraid and copy across I'm getting...

Here's the solution, sell the AU$20,000 car, buy yourself a perfectly decent AU$10,000 car (who needs a new car they only haemhorrage(sp?) money in depreciation anyway) and you've got yerself 10k to get some decent kit.

Zammy I have a 20" philips flat panel upstairs and when playing a dvd on that or watching a footy match I can see the ghosting effect or blurring effect you mention but watched revolutions on the G5 with the 20" cinema and it was the cleanest clearest movie I've watched in the house, it pi$$ed...

Thanks arden The difference being that the G5 is $1100 more expensive than the G4 which puts the cost at close to 10,000 euro when I add everything in not sure if Ive budgeted that much, and to be honest I'd much rather get the G5s into the production/design environments than waste it on a...

Lads The mouse and keyboard match more closely to the 20" cinema (white/clear plastic) than they do to the G5, again the G5 is so tall and bulky it would take up a lot of desk space so I'm putting it under the desk thus giving me more area and just plug the keyboard into the monitor, even the...

I voted yes as the xbox is essentially a stripped down pc, haven't had a powerful enuf mac for games until now (G5 2ghz) but still spend over 20 hours a week on the xbox (xbox live actually) and with counter strike, rainbow 6, doom 3, halo 2 all on the way in the next couple of months I couldn't...

Hi Franklin Well I received my G5 Dual and 20" Cinema last week, I ordered the G5 long long time ago and couldn't be arsed waiting any longer for a new monitor, ok I will admit they're not the best together but the G5 is goin under the desk as it's such a huge (though very sexy) beast and the...

Hi All Haven't posted on the forums in a while but here's a quick question: I was going to purchase an XServe and XRaid to complement my current setup of G4300mhz Server running 10.2.4 server and infotrend 500gb RAID level 5. Anyway my network/server cabinet is of a small stature and...

Howya Sunil Have you checked the firewall to see if the leased ip address on the imac is blocked from internet access? I upgraded firmware on my DI614+ recently and couldn't get a connection with anything xbox, g3 laptop without being hardwired into it. Also check to see if WEP has been...
