I have found somewhere where I can get a G5 xserve motherboard, CPU and powersupply. Would it be possible to use these components along with off the shelf components to build my own G5 xserve? I'd need at least the following: - RAM - HDD - Optical drive (can this be just a regular IDE...

can dark stat actually track MB over time, and give you specific numbers? Because that's all I want. Eg. number of MB down/up loaded in February; in the last 30 days; in the last two weeks; average per day, etc.

I've got an old beige G3 running 10.2 Server which is sharing our ADSL internet connection to the other computers in the house. Currently, my ADSL plan is unlimited and so my ISP does not keep a record of how much we download. Does anyone know of any software (which could preferably run as a...

I am also having this problem with os 10.2 Server. Did you find a solution? I'm experimenting with brickhouse, but it seems that it will allow packets to go through the network (you can ping www.apple.com from another computer, for example) but it does not allow internet sharing or anything (the...

Well, as it turns out, zapping the PRAM didn't do anything. The problem still occurs. Furthermore, it happens consistently when I try to repair disk permissions. I think (unfortunately) it might be archive and install time :/ Then the question is whether I install all the way up to 10.2.8 or...

Excellent. I'll have a look :) Thank you all for your help.

okay :) well looks like I better back up the whole thing just in case. Now going slightly off topic, but will carbon copy cloner make a backup that I can then restore and boot off just like before?

the apache config files, etc aren't stored in the home folder. I was just trying to confirm that archive and install archived and installed /etc, /var, and so on. The monitor thing is strange, though. What monitors were you using? I am currently using an AppleVision 1710. But so far...

Okay, I've tried that. We'll see what happens. But does anyone know if doing an archive and install will preserve all the other settings I mentioned above?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this is *exactly* what is happening to my beige G3 desktop. It's very frustrating. Did you find a solution? I'm currently running 10.2.8, and it seemed like it only started happening after I upgraded from 10.2.6 to 10.2.8. any suggestions? Change the...

Okay, I found the problem. After messing around whith a whole lot of things, I went into netinfomanager and under 'users' I found that there was a field 'sharedDir', which was blank. After typing in 'Public' to this field and restarting file sharing, the problem was solved :)

Thanks for the reply, but I fixed the problem. I found an old version of brickhouse lying around and used that to configure the firewall. It gives a much finer level of control of the firewall rules. Anyway, it's set up to allow all outgoing connection and block all incoming connections on...
