    MWSF - Apple sets expectations high

    Well not really. I've described something that can be portable around the house, but you can't take it out on the road and do any serious work with it because: 1) it doesn't have a lid to close, it is just a display with a stylus. 2) it doesn't have input jacks for mice and keyboards, although...

    editing the hosts file

    Hm, yeah I guess so. I started making a new machine entry but ran into one field I don't know if/how to replicate. It is the "Serves" property, I am guessing i should use ./Local just like localhost but I dunno since I have no clue what that property is for :) I got this from maccentral...

    MWSF - Apple sets expectations high

    "Keep it realistic here, please. Stick to the current product line" and "I don't think we should speculate on that." How about you wake up and smell the ozone, as this entire thread is a speculative excercise. I'm uncertain why you want to censor speculation, care to explain yourself? In...

    editing the hosts file

    i'm an idiot. yes of course I can use Term to edit the hosts file. But, my question still stands as to whether or not there is a GUI I should be using to add hosts to this file. Thanks!

    editing the hosts file

    Hey all, I'm headed to Macworld next week and need to have 3 Mac OS X boxes running in a LAN but I need to be able to do TCP/IP connections by DNS name as well as IP address. We won't have internet access at the booth so no DNS can be set up. In macos 9 you could edit a Hosts file, inserting...

    10.1.2 Released

    oddly enough, this update will not fully download at my workplace. Other updates have all been fine for every OS X and product update so far, but 10.1.2 is kaput. My coworker found some obscure thing on apple's site saying to create a new administrative user, log in as him, let the system do an...

    MacOSX Server and Windows password problem

    Okay, the users on the Mac OS X server have to have the EXACT SAME usernames and passwords as the users listed on our NT4 domain server. If not, the server isn't found when searching in any way from Win98, but 2000 seemed to be able to still find and allow you to enter the different username and...

    MacOSX Server and Windows password problem

    Thanks for the tip. No we are not running WINNS anywhere, but that hasn't been a problem for windows 98 machines seeing NT4 servers across the subnets. I tried enabling it on the Mac OS X server but it did not help. Is there a way to make our NT4 domain server "aware" of the Mac OS X server...

    MacOSX Server and Windows password problem

    Well, I gave up on that server as hopelessly misconfigured and reinstalled the OS and all that. Now the Windows users' passwords are fine, but windows 98 boxes are very hit & miss in their ability to see the server. Our network is two class Cs and divided into several subnets. When I'm on a 98...

    Mac OS 10.1 Update

    I had a similar problem with a beige G3/300 tower at my work place. I ended up doing 2 things but don't know which one actually fixed the problem as i changed both variables at one time: - Unplug your scsi devices and stick a terminator in the scsi card. - Reformat your hard drive so the...

    Networking OS X and Windows XP

    What, does XP have an FTP client which allows you to drag and drop files to and from a file server? How about Win2k and Win98? I need a way to make the files on my OS X Server available to macs from OS 9-X and Windows 98-XP but am having no luck with windows file serving from the Mac OS X...

    MacOSX Server and Windows password problem

    I have a new OS X Server setup running 10.1.1, all patched up with nowhere to go. It serves up files for Macs flawlessly as you might expect, but every single Windows client which tries to connect ends up getting a bad password error. All of the passwords are 8 characters or less, some alpha...
