I guess your are talking about the same airport, not for different airports. For the same aiport, there is no difference in making an wireless or wired connection, so both should work. The only difference i can imaging are settings given out by the airport. Check for differences in the...

There is communication between the computer and the display. Apparently for some reason this was not working properly, thus the mac expected a monitor with less options as it had, thus reducing some settings. Changing cables triggered the renewal of the configuration data thus now the mac...

The movie industry wants to charge a different price in different parts of the world. You should notice that when travelling around the globe. By creating the regio-codes you can not buy them in a cheap area, while living in an expensive area. Protecting their rights to the extremest. Good...

Does the router contain the modem also. If so you need at least a router with modem included. If the phone is hooked up to the router, you will need a router with the proper connection. If the router is separate from the modem, in general just take out the verizon router and try. Apparently it...

Your computers can do nothing to prevent external entry unless they are the gateway except configuring the WAP. You can no even be sure that they are on while unauthorised entry occurs. You can take some steps to prevent access to your MAC by someone who uses your WAP to access your network...

Most routers let you find out who is connected to the router. This might give you an idea if anyone is actual using you as free internet provider. Otherwise MAC address and/or ENCRYPTION enabling should be adequate for preventing using your WiFI connection. Good luck, Kees

In general no need to do so. And if the ibook goes into sleep mode it is inactive thus nothing can happen which might cause problems because it is unattended (like spyware and/or virussus trashing your system - although none found for mac). But pages might be out of date when you reactivate...

About having the backup - never having the need for it gives some false sense of security. As I tell my customers - the neighbor is always right - it happens to the neighbor. Dual drive = 2 separate 500gb drives, not 1 split into 2 times a 500gb drive. Good luck, Kees

Ofcourse we start by making the first, but encounter almost every day customers who think that is enough. And because backups are seldomly needed, most users think they are 100% safe with one backup. Next to the fact that in this case the stuff on the external drive will not be a backup, but...

Sometimes you can setup a router as ACCESS POINT, which will make it easier to have it campus-wide. Another solultion i know of is e.g. WireLess Range Expander from LINKSYS, which EXPANDS the range of the ROUTER without adding any configuration issues (you only need a power utlet). Other...

Do not use external drives for backup purposes other than temporary. For sharing data it is oke (any way single or dual drive solution). Single drive is cheaper, dual drive is more secure (if one fails, you have a second available and really important data can be stored on both drives, creating...

The draft in the standard means that it is working properly, but not all participants agree on everything that is in the standard, or not everything is completely worked out. Draft is something else as BETA, which is more or less as you describe. Normally this should not prevent this from...

This looks to a RIGID problem prevention scheme, instated when no confidence in the equipment used (like buying a new harddrive every 6 months to prevent problems which might occur with older harddrives). Rstarting the ROUTER might prevent these problems, but it is more hiding the problem as...

10.4.10 is the successor to 10.4.9, thus not equivalent to 10.4.1. So no typo there. Good luck, Kees

Quite true, but ofcourse you only have a gigabit network if all components are up to cat-6 specs. Still fine to mention it for novice who might be lead by a simple spec to make conclusions. Good luck, Kees

If you do not connect to a router for some time, the next time you connect, you very well might get a different ip-number. This could happen overnight although in general a router will give the same ip to the same computer (mac address). Please specify the ip-numbers to clarify those...

Are you sure the drive is not bad ? Check if possible with e.g. an XP machine and check if you can access the smb drives ... Good luck, Kees

The mac mini uses a 2.5" drive which is 'slow' compared to most 3.5" drives. If the LACIE has a 3.5" drive, the drive will be slower. Unless any computer has gigabit, there will be hardly any difference in network speed for both methods, if a computer has gigabit, the server with gigabit will...

As far as i can remember in the old days apple had its own card with its own connection method. This card was only available from apple. So I guess you will have to buy an USB one for MAC (or find such a card 2nd hand). Good luck, Kees

I see a ruler on top of the page (v1.4). The ruler allows me to change the tabs. I am not sure they are there in v1.3 though, have no v1.3 available. Good luck, Kees
