    How's the built in ftp server work? (not a newbie)

    Everything else works! Clicking the check box does the same as the start button (nothing). What's with this? I don't need BSD installed for a simple thing like this do I? Gabe

    How's the built in ftp server work? (not a newbie)

    I'm trying to run the ftp server in OS 10.2.4. When I click on the start button in the sharing pane, it turns blue for maybe twice as long as I hold the mouse down, and then fails to do anything. No beep, blink, error message, nothing. It just goes back to the start button, waiting to be futily...

    suspended job processes

    I was playing with the mail command and I seem to have left it suspended and don't know how I did it or how to get it back. I didn't even realize this untill I typed exit and it returned "There are suspended jobs". I played with jobs and when I type jobs -l it comes back with [1] + 852...

    Using NetInfo Manager to block hosts not working!

    In OS 9 I used the .hosts files to list domains that I wanted to block by linking them to 127.0.0.1. Ok. In OSX you can use NetInfo Manager to do the same thing, correct? I'm quite sure I've read about it here before somewhere, but can't find it now. I launch NetInfo Manager and click on the...

    Hard drive not mounting easily

    So I fixed it again. I took the jumper off (single drive position) and it worked as soon as I opened Apple System Profiler. The jumper was off before, but it started doind the same thing that just happened so I placed it into Master position. Then it started working properly, just like now. I...

    Hard drive not mounting easily

    Ok, I'm using a 2000 Powergook G3 ( the one with a bronze keyboard and firewire), 20GB internal, 640MB ram running 10.1.4. The Hard drive in question is a Westen Digital Caviar 80GB in a "combo" firewire/usb enclosure. The drive and enclosure are no more than a month old, and work great once...

    Hard drive not mounting easily

    I have a firewire hard drive which does not behave properly. When I plug it in it does not show up right away. Usually after opening various programs for awhile, or sometimes logging out and back in again it finds itself but this is a pain and I'd like to know how to do it right away. I used to...

    Taking advantage of two net connections

    What will my computer do if I simply connect it to both connections? I know it will see them both, but would I have to tell it which to use ot will it automatically pick the one it thinks is the best? Gabe

    Taking advantage of two net connections

    My router isn't nearly that smart. It's just your basic cable modem-and-a-couple-computers variety. I am planning on using this computer throughout this process, so I hope that this can be dont without taxing it too much. My network is quite small (3 computers) so there isn't really that much...

    Taking advantage of two net connections

    I am currently connected to my cable modem through a DLink 704p router. It has an open jack where I could plug in the LAN, but I think that would cause conflicts with the DHCP servers and people would get mad at me. I am planning on buying another NIC if I can find out a way to do this. Gabe

    Taking advantage of two net connections

    I have a cable modem and a T1 lan at my disposal. I got the cable modem because there are many users on the lan and download speeds are horrible. The lan upstream is great though. The cable modem takes care of the downstream but it's upstream is pretty slow. I want to configure mac os x to take...
