    Powerbook printing problem

    Turns out that the netmask wasn't identicle with the rest of the house, I guess the lp daemon is pretty twitchy about subnets, as other tcp/ip communications work fine. Ftp, smtp, telnet afpoverip, nfs etc. I took a look at the IP settings for the interface through Network and ifconfig -a...

    Big Problem

    I agree with El Diablo, if you bought the machine and update the OS that was on it when bought. If the latter was the case I would get the machine all the way back to somehting that is well understood and then rebuild back to 10.3.8. Theres probably a single combo update that will do it in a...

    newbie here, do I need OS X server program

    Not sure if its an AppleShare thing or how many people can login to your machine. NFS does not by default have these limitations. You can set up NFS using NFSmanager.

    format hard drive?

    I had a disaster in October, but managed to slowly get out of it, however I know this is not a fix that can be easily applied to a laptop, but on my G4 quicksilver I bought 2 low identicle, density 10GB hard drives and use these as root. Every so often I clone the root disk to its mate. I...

    format hard drive?

    Whats happened is that the underlying fsck can no longer fix the problem, this is the basic filesystem fixer provided with a UNIX, it is usually runn at boot time but you can either choose to run it from single user during aboot. At this point if you run fsck -Y you will find that it is this...
