My printer works fine until I switch to the other Mac user and then back again. Then when I try to print it times out and says it can't communicate with the printer. Cycle power to the printer doesn't help. Only remedy I found is Mac reboot. But then the next time I switch users, printer can't...

I'm new to Mac (at least since shortly aftyer the advent of System 8), so I'm nost sure what's non-standard. I recently installed Sharepoints, to enable the PC to get into the Mac file share at any directory, but I'm pretty sure the IP mutation problem was with me before I installed SharePoints...

I tried that and it didn't work, but your message reminded me to pursue that option some more. I was hoping to get the mac to work with a static IP address while the other computer on the network (a PC) continued to use the router as a DHCP server. On the Mac in Network System Prefs I set...

When I switch users on the Mac, the system grabs another IP address from my DHCP server. The Mac is behind a NATed firewall with an IP address reserved for the Mac based on its MAC address. But since the Mac apparently requests another IP address without releasing the one for the "other" user...

Thanks! That's a great app. Just what I needed, and it works pefectly. Now I have a related problem with IP addressing, but I'm going to post it separately since it's a different issue.

I ran ccleaner (aptly named, if you know what the c stands for) on the PC, and now I can connect to the Mac file share as root. However, I now have a different sort of problem. My entire objective here is to be able to connect to the Mac file system at the root level (i.e. pathname="/") so I...

I previously set up file sharing from my WIndows XP (Pro SP2) system to my Mac (OS 10.3.8), using a non-root user on the Mac. But now I want to create a file share connection to the root user on the Mac, so I can see all the files and not just a certain user's files from the PC. I...

Okay, I see. I don't have the home alieas in my Dock, but I did try the equivalent of what you're suggesting, navigating directly in the FInder. Ethernet cable didn't help either. Oh, well... Mac 1, MidnightJava 0.

Can you elaborate what you mean by going to Dock => Home? If that's the same thing as going to the home folder in the FInder, then I did try that and I got the error "Can't access the alias because the original is gone" or somehitng like that. If you're referring to somehting else, please...

Yes, I wondered about which computer the account was supposed to be on. I figured it was the PC, or maybe both the PC and the Mac. So to cover all the bases I created an account on the PC with identical credentials (username and password) as the acount I'm using on the Mac. And just to be sure...

When I do that, I get the autnetication window, and when I enter my credentials I get the dreaded "The alias <alias_name> could not be opened because the original item could not be found." This is what led me to try the IRPStackSize fix I mentioned earlier, since it was indicated by that...

yes, I tried it just now with ZA not executing, and it still says I have the wrong password.

I'm pretty sure this was working for the week or so that I've had my Mac, but I can't swear to it, since I've mostly shared the files from the Mac to the PC. But I've got the Mac and PC set up properly as far as I can tell, and I enter the correct username and password for the PC, and the Mac...
