I've had no issues with either Norton v10 or Sophos (though I haven't used Sophos with Tiger). There is a built in firewall on the Mac and I don't know of any anti-spy ware utilities.

He bought this machine second hand? How old is it? Does the serial number match anything in this range? W8435xxxxxx - W8522xxxxxx QP435xxxxxx - QP522xxxxxx CK435xxxxxx - CK522xxxxxx YD435xxxxxx - YD522xxxxxx What are the system stats? Is the RAM from a third party vendor?

I'd back up any photos you want to keep and then delete the following directories/files. ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library/ ~/Library/Cache/iPhoto ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist /Applications/iPhoto That should get rid of most everything. You can then use Image Capture's...

Personally, I love the way iPhoto works... but to each his own. Why not just manually drag the files off the camera into your own directory structure? From what you're describing, it seems like you might gain only a few seconds having an application do it for you. I'm sure you could even...

Did the power cycling help? If it's bridged you probably have a static IP with your ISP. I'd call them to confirm. You should have them check your equipment (they should be able to do that remotely). If you have a static IP, you should be able to manually configure your host so that it...

Power cycling entails turning the unit off and then turning it back on (I usually wait a few minutes before turning it back on). Take a look at the IP address that is assigned to your computer when it DHCPs. Then open up a web browser and go to somewhere like www.whatismyip.com. If the two...

Try power cycling your Cable modem. Do you know if the connection is bridged?

You'd have to do a clean install. Not sure if an archive and install will work that direction. Anyone?

I've used both Norton and Sophos and liked them both.

That would be interesting (more for the menu bar than the dock). I'd just love it if I could take my mouse off of the far side of the screen and have it appear on the other monitor (not across the middle). That would certainly speed things up. :D

Don't see any Mac drivers for the Canon LBP 430W. What ports are on it? You might be able to print to it with CUPS if you can get it plugged into the Mac.

They should be in /var/cron/tabs You don't typically edit them manually though. I would suggest you read the man page.

I've never used this setup, but I think it requires Bonjour in order to see the printer... Someone should probably verify before you try it. Bonjour for Windows

Unfortunately, you won't be able to download any updates to bring yourself up to 10.3 from 10.0.x. You'll have to procure an Mac OS 10.3 installation CD/DVD. Since your hard-drive is so small, you might want to do an optional install and remove many of the languages and apps you won't need...

You should be able to open the cd/dvd tray by holding down your mouse button when the computer is booting.

Odd- Were any caches cleared out? Also, was it affecting any other net-apps (other the the cli tools)?

Can he ping a site by its hostname (ie yahoo.com) and then by its IP address? (ie 66.94.234.13)? What happens when he tries to browse to a site's IP? http://66.94.234.13 ?

What version of MOSX are you running? Also, please specify anything special about your setup. Have you modded anything? What programs did you update? What have you done to resolve the issue?

When you log into the machine what is the path to your home directory? What is the path to the files you located?

Does he have any sort of proxy set up? Has he mucked around with his firewall settings?
