I know how to manage the network's password, but I also want to prevent other users on this shared Windows computer, or other computers (mostly Macs) on this network, from opening AirPort Utility and changing their settings. I thought at one time I had to enter a password to get into Airport...

Hey Satcomer: Your suggestion was dead-on. I am astounded at both how well it works and how easy it was to implement. What a cool service! Thanks for the scoop.

Guys: I apologize in advance if this been asked. Search didn't help me find it if it has been... Is there a way to get my Airport to log the sites visited by computers on the network? Some of my prior routers and/or firewalls did (Linksys and/or other Windows-based). I'm still trying to...

I saw that, and it sounded like something I should want to do. But when I try to "advertise" my printers, the Airport Utility tells me: "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a wide-area hostname. You can configure your Bonjour settings by clicking the...

OK, Great. Thanks for the info. I'm not sophisticated enough to connect to a printer on a distant router through Port 9100 on my own, but I'll go surfing and see what guidance I can come up with. I'm not exactly a fan of Bonjour right now, so this may be my way around it. Thanks again!

Just installed Airport Extreme. Went beautifully: - iMac (OSX 10.5) can connect wirelessly to Internet, - IBM ThinkPad (XP, SP-2) can connect wirelessly to Internet, - iMac can print to printer connected to the USB port of the AE. Problem comes when I need to print from the...

Just upgraded to Leopard (finally...). When I did, it lost all the approved email addresses in my kids' parental controls settings. A lot of them. Not only do I have to re-enter them, I don't even know what they were. Might they be on this drive somewhere but I can't find them? Might they...

Success! Thank you so much for your patience... But it wasn't that easy. I have followed both suggestions, the one proposed at iFelix above as well as the "advanced" version documented in another iFelix article and at Apple here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301397 All...

duh. OK, lets try this again, WITH MY IP ADDRESS... (not surprisingly, it works better this way...) Last login: Sun Aug 13 14:53:39 on console Welcome to Darwin! imac:~ ken$ smbclient -NL 192.168.1.100 Domain=[SERVER] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]...

Turned the firewall off. Printer is shared. Login and pswd on my XP box are identical to the ones on my Mac. On the Mac, I have SystemPreferences|Sharing|Printer Sharing and Windows Sharing both turned on. Still, when printing... "Unable to connect to SAMBA host...Connection failed with...

OK. I thought it sounded too easy. Drivers downloaded. Printer found in print setup. Cool. Proper printer drivers were right there where I had expected them all along (Thank you PrintFab!) Try to print a simple page... Failure. First message: Connection failed with error --...

Hi gsahli: 1. You did answer a question for me ages ago about network printing, but I gave up on that effort a while ago. You were right about the kinks not being 100% out of the Airport Express and Tiger combo at the time. 2. OK, so let me simplify your answer, and see if I’m reading...

I am throwing in the towel on getting my Mac to see and install drivers for my Canon Pixma printer atttached to a shared networked XP machine. Other threads herein have expressed similar frustration (and the guys at the Apple store sold me this piece of junk! but I digress...) Going back to...
