    File Sharing/Remote Access doesn't seem to work

    Ok, so the Mac has a public IP, and you need to make sure it is listening for your connections. Open a terminal window and enter " netstat -f inet -l ", you should see a line with your public IP address and your listening services as in "1.2.3.4:22" for your ssh remote login, "1.2.3.4:21 for...

    File Sharing/Remote Access doesn't seem to work

    Salve mth71, Is your Mac directly connected with your cable modem? Are you sure your ISP isn't blocking your outside initiated connections? What happens if you connect your Mac via dial-up? As long as you somehow know your Mac IP address, no need to be a static IP address. Please, restart...

    Large Files slowing network

    Salve tebbisch, What was done about QoS (Quality of Service)? Even if you have a lot of network traffic, you should be able to priorize by TOS, proto and port used, src/dest IP address, TCP ACKs. Your network infra-structure may need attention, perhaps some managed switchs like the new...

    Airport/safari Problems Please Help!!!

    Not sure if its a Safari related problem, the error message indicates a dns problem. Verify your present dns configuration, then open a terminal window and enter "ping -c3 www.macosx.com". It should give you the macosx IP 82.165.177.2 and the "round trip time" between you and macosx, if your...

    G3 333 Powerbook Lombard Bronze

    The best OS to run on your Lombard is limited not only by the machine itself but by the use that you expect from it. The original MacOS classic will run faster than MacOSX, but that isn't the unique point to consider, and again, it will depend a bit of your previous experience with different...

    airport/network - usb modem question

    First understand the network concept, then try to find your way using the MacOSX GUI ;-). The gateway is the machine which has more than one network, and known how to route packets between each different network, "sharing" its network presence. Your mac-mini lives in 2 network worlds, and...

    safari citrix error 183

    Not sure if its Safari related, try other browser. To get the citrix connection working I would use a "direct" connection, without proxy. I supposed you already checked the certificate authenticity, and cleaned the internet caches.

    airport/network - usb modem question

    On mac-mini had you tried setting the airport as the port to share the Internet connection (system preferences -> sharing -> internet)? After that, on your ibook just set its gateway (or default route) to mac-mini (sp -> nw -> airport tcp/ip ->gw/router).

    Dvd Not Mounting

    The same problem, running Panther on pizmo. Sometimes the same media works perfectly if I first connect an external USB DVD drive, insert media on external drive, auto-starts playing, eject via DVD player, reinsert media on internal DVD drive, play again as desired. I saw the same on a pbg4 1ghz...

    Internet via Ethernet adaptor not Airport.

    Good, feel as a router... 2 options for you to route ;~) Try the "sudo route"... prefix every command that wanna run as root with "sudo" will do the trick (password prompted each time...); Or make sure your user are listed in the "wheel" group, so it can run "su": pizmo:/Users/wosniack root#...

    ethernet/internet on Lombard

    Salve Philips, Stay cool, what a mess! Lets reduce the variables: 1. Between your Lombard and a modem/router you need a direct cable, use the same pre-tested by other desktop position in your LAN; 2. Are you certain that there is a dhcp-server running on your modem/router? You said you tried...

    Internet via Ethernet adaptor not Airport.

    Salve Gary, Appears as a simple routing problem, you should just change the gateway and be happy again. Don't know the Mac-way of doing this, but if you aren't afraid of the command line, ... keep reading. While logged in as an privileged user (apart from the real sense of being the proud...
