I'd be very interested to know more about your setup and what exactly you did to make things work. I have never been able to get it to work. Sometimes I've found it even to be sketchy between two Windows computers, let alone a Mac and Windows computer.

Well, I guess we were wrong with respect to needing the SSL module, you don't actually need it. After browsing around the Apache site I found that what I did need to do was insert the AllowCONNECT statement into my httpd.conf inside the proxy module directives statement block. The AllowCONNECT...

I have been trying to setup my desktop G4 as a software router to no success as well. I have been trying to do this to enable internet connection sharing between my desktop G4 and a laptop with an 802.11b wireless card. I want my wireless airport card in my desktop G4 to act as a base station...

I totally agree on this point. This is something that has been missing from the Mac for a long time. Our Windows buddies have been able to share their internet connection since like Windows 98, not sure, perhaps even in Windows 95. The really sucky thing is that they can only share it with...

That's kind of what I guessed I was going to need to do. I just was not sure what things I needed to do to enable https. I figure there are some enabling statements that I need to add to the httpd.conf file or some other configuration file. I just need to figure out what they might be...

If I have to use OS 9 to use the software base station option then the $99 card is probably not worth my time. I rarely use MacOS 9 anymore and I am surely not going to run it all the time now just to enable internet connection sharing via the wireless card. I use OS X for serving webpages and...

I have been looking into getting an Airport card for my G4 desktop, but had few questions on how well it worked. From everywhere I read, I am told that if I buy an Airport Base Station that it will allow any computer with an IEEE 802.11b compatible card connect to it and be able to access the...

I have been able to enable the apache proxy server module within the httpd.conf file by uncommenting a few lines and restarting apache. I have done this so that I can share an internet connection within my home among several computers, both PCs and Macs. When surfing the web it works like a...

I actually figured that no one would ever figure this one out so I gave up looking for a solution. I just checked back here today and found that Appleicious had posted a solution that worked for him. I was so excited and immediately tried his solution in hopes that I would not need to totally...

I got the DNS from my provider which is not required for my system to work, but I put it in anyway. Nothing changed, still no net access. No one but myself has ever configured the TCP/IP settings for DHCP, so I know what they are supposed to be and they are no different than before the backup...

When pinging I do usually ping an xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address and things work fine. My network settings are the same as they always have been. I use DHCP and my network address is supplied by the server. It is the same address that has always been supplied to me. It is also the same address that...

Yes, I used the ping command via the terminal and it worked fine for both computers on my local network / intranet and others outside on the internet.

Well, actually you pose a good question. I used my laptop computer which can access the internet. Although, I could have rebooted in MacOS 9 and made the posting. Internet will work if I reboot in MacOS 9, just not in MacOS X as of right now. I am also having a funny problem with time. When...

Okay I am having a problem accessing the internet. I actually did the worst thing possible according to some people. I needed to reformat my hard drive and instead of reinstalling MacOS X, I copied my whole MacOS X drive to another drive and then copied it back after reformatting. After doing...

Yes, I can ping other computers on the network from the terminal, can check my e-mail, use the internet, just about everything but print and share files over the network. That's why I wanted to get DAVE working. To be able to share files and print on the windows network.

You mentioned that I should make sure that I have the right WINS address filled in. Actually, to my knowledge our network does not have a WINS server and I have WINS disabled on the Windows 98 machine that I also work on. So I don't know if not having a WINS enabled server network could...

I just downloaded DAVE from the Thursby site since the OS X version is now being offered as a free download. The problem is that it just does not work. I don't know if I am not setting it up right or what is going on. I am on a Windows network and would like my computer to show up in the...

I just intalled the OS X Web Sharing Update that became available from Apple via the Software Update System Preference Panel a couple days ago. The problem is now that I have installed the update, I cannot start Web Sharing via the Sharing Preference Panel or via the Terminal by way of starting...

The above solution totally helped in getting sendmail to actually startup and run. The problem I have now is that I can only send and receive mail using the commandline mail tools. I can not get mail via the Mail.app that comes with OS X. I would like to be able to set it up using IMAP or...

So I could do this same thing but create users with passwords instead. So then I would have users with home directories and a webspace that they could publish things to. But would they be able to login from the OS X startup login screen? Or would I need to something slightly different for...
