I found a list of compatible cards but am wondering what chipset will be compatible with my old PowerMac G4 400mhz. I believe the drivers available through OS X work with the broadcom chipset only? I also found that Orangeware made a driver that works with PCI cards that use the Atheros...

I really don't know much about the whole wireless thing but I am going to give it a shot anyway. Is there any other reliable alternative to buying an original Airport card such as a different brand PCI card? You can pick up one for $20 at any electronics store for a PC but for a mac I haven't...

I am going to completely erase my hard drive (including writing zeros in the free space) by using Disk Utility. Basically, I want a fresh start to reinstall OS X 10.3 so when I upgrade to Tiger I have a clean, clutter free computer. Over time files have been written, overwritten, moved, etc...

Unfortunately, no.... I think I am going to have to live with her forever! Thanks for trying, Rich

I am trying to delete my former roomates user account and am having trouble. After I click "Delete User..." I get the warning message dialog box asking me if I am sure which I press OK to confirm at which point it begins to delete her account. When it's finished the user.img file is in the...

I am new to networking so let me ask a couple of questions and you guys/girls can tell me if I am correct... I have the DHCP server function enabled on my router. This mens it will distribute IP address to available network devices, correct? If I set up port-fowarding I need to know the...
