Mmm I was hoping you weren't going to say that, as it wont let me in? Long name and short name. What to do?

I'm sure you must get some people posting in the wrong forum, but as this is the Macosx forum on macosx.com, I think you could take it that I'm using OSX :-) (version 10.1.4 and 10.1.2), users are set-up (although I wish I didn't have to have a whole new user on the host computer, just to...

I have two macs linked via ethernet, thing is I can't connect as it wont accept any password that I have???? And it wont accept guests, anyone know how I can turn on simple guest access, I've been everywhere in the system to no avail? Is netinfo the answer?

thx for your help. 612 is actually the model no. Connected to 192.168.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. password: except when I enter my password and push enter it refuses it. of course its the same password I use on the html browser configuration, which does work, so not sure whats...

I'm having some problems with a 3Com ADSL router/modem, and of course in typical tech-support style, they've given me the following instruction, without offering any instruction of how to do it? Telnet to the 612 and complete the following sending me the output. 1/ list call events 2/...

I am finding the refresh on the contents of windows rather frustrating, only clicking on a file con, will make it update, if anything has changed (thus date modified becomes obsolete!) Also the other day a user copied a file across a network to a folder on the network for me, the window which...

OSX crashed for the first time last night (yuck code everywhere-definately preferred the little bomb icon ;-)) However the reason was basically my usb audio driver, which is what powers the sound to my sound stick, which are very buggy so far on OSX (ie sound just goes mute then have to go...

Thx for the Netinfo info, I know the ftp port is 21, just trying to see where the illegal port error would be coming from. just out of interest anyone know what the ftp-agent (port574), and ftp-data (port20) ports are for?

Is there any means via software/terminal to determine the ftp port no etc, as I am having no ends of trouble trying to ftp to a site, and I'm getting an "illegal port error when trying to ftp in Dreamweaver, fetch just doesn't work either" So I would like to determine whether the mac, airport...

why not just use the delete button in the customise toolbar window? Does the same thing as the dragging the trash can there!

That's it really, something along the lines of the sanyo mini-disc remote (ie its the same shape and could accomodate the wheel), as snazzy as the iPod is to show off, I'm tired of having to get it out of my bag/pocket/case every time I want to change something.

Yup just did the same thing again, but in a whole new configuration and it worked fine... seems to happen quite often with the network panel, like it doesn't really accept changes, although it shows that it does...

Have a problem printing, I currently have my airport linked to my DSL router, as my internet connection the ethernet cable of my printer is linked to my ethernet port on the back of my TiBook. Configuration works fine to print in OS9, if appletalk is set to ethernet. Printer/internet work no...

Okay I see, so if I ever got a DNS name resolved to my own IP address I should just put in there. Thats cool. Thing is I do actually have my firewall turned on, so shouldn't it then have worked? Happy Easter! and thanks again...

wow man, works a treat... thanks a lot for that, however should this pose a problem with any networking in the future?

worryingly... [thisaddressdoesnotexist:~] wilyum% hostname ThisAddressDoesNotExist [thisaddressdoesnotexist:~] wilyum% grep ^HOST /etc/hostconfig HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- [thisaddressdoesnotexist:~] wilyum% "wilyum" is my shortname, any idea what could of caused this to suddenly happen...

Upon opening the terminal window I get this.... [thisaddressdoesnotexist:~] wilyum% Have tried logging in as root, other user etc, comes up with the same thing, what have I done? And how can I fix it?

Hi got a G4 667mhz Tibook with an airport base station, up to a few weeks back everything was working fine in both OSX and OS9 however suddenly one day in OSX my airport network icon on the menu bar was greyed out as it said there were no networks to connect to, so I had all sorts of panics, and...

Which is wonderful, but if you are a one man band working on book reviews or something like that, all that extra networking power trade-off isn't much of an advantage... Are we going to see a kinda NT/Win offshoot creeping into OSX at some stage, as all the consumers that Apple is targetting...

Hi, I've got a dial-up connection and an airport (G4 667mhz) its obviously trying to connect to the internet or something like that, but if its going to take so long I really couldn't care for a couple of seconds. I wonder if there is a way to by-pass all this Server-type stuff. I am not...
