    cannot print to my windows networked dell 922 printer

    Although you need a good driver for the mac, another solution may be to buy a printer server for the printer and connect the printer directly to the network. Now your pc does not have to be on to use the printer and whatever os you have on the pc is of no concern anymore. Good luck, kees

    XP Outlook to Mac Mail Program

    Even better switch to IMAP all the way. This allows you too access your mail around the globe and with multiple computers (simultanously). As IMAP is stored on the MAIL server, crashing your computer does not lead to lost mails as they are still on the mailserver. Ofcourse backups are still...

    Mac Networking; IP Works, Hostname/Machine Name Doesn't!

    I think that is your solution. The DNS server converts names to IP numbers on the network. Without that you could only use names if the network protocol (like afs) has this internally solved. Good luck, kees

    Waiting on Mail.app to retrieve messages is like watching paint dry.

    A simple calculation which is valid for any email program on any platform. You want to download about 2,638 kilobyte of data on with a speed of 6 kilobyte per second. The calculation leads to a time of 440 seconds = over 7 minutes of time). In the high-speed internet connections the same is...

    What is the exact command used for "chown -r /Volumes/<whatever>" Also remeber that -r can be interpreted different from -r (it can be case sensitive. I do not see to which user / group the volume should be changed too in your command. Good luck, Kees

    You can try a different brand, but most likely try a new drive. Those kind of errors in general are caused by incompatible discs (not necessary bad quality) but more often by a defective drive. Good luck, Kees
