    I am forced to upgrade but I need OS9

    MAC OS 9 does not have a single user mode, it always is in single user mode. I would suggest, make a good (multiple) backup of all your data and replace (or at least add) the harddrive. If the computer is oke for the rest, why spend money. Also in some occassions programs which work under OS...

    Large Subnet

    The 24 means that the first 24 bits are valid for compare. Thus for comparing only 192.168.1 are relevant, not the 0 to 255 for the last part of the address. Changing the range is simply done by changing the netmask (or 24 in this case) to e.g. 255.255.254.0 (= 23), which gives a range of...

    Backup mail server - MAC OS X 10.4.10

    Why you get an io error i do not know. You have to use server admin, mail, maintenance part to make cyrusdb aware of your changes. I have move al mail stuff to a different drive and have reattached everything after a complete installation of the os. Information on mails read etc. is lost...

    Backup mail server - MAC OS X 10.4.10

    Users are maintained with the workgroup manager. So you have to export all users using the wgm to have them later restored. Not all information is exported (e.g. passwords). Other utilities can handle that for you (e.g. mkpassdb - a description is found in one of the other threads on this side)...

    one of the two interfaces doesnt get IP from dhcp

    Does the computer has 1 or 2 network cards installed. You can check with ifconfig if .en0 and .en1 are both display with some information. If 1 is not displayed, it most likely is disabled. Please provide some more information. Good luck, kees

    Routing Tables

    Are we talking over 1 or 2 routers ? If one router, this being possible depends on the router having a separate DHCP server for WIRELESS and for WIRED. Otheriwise i guess it will not be possible, unless you use static ip-numbers. Also the netmask might be set to a different value. So what I...

    You can do this by copying the contents of some maps. As far as i know the contents are in the following map /volumes/MailServer-MAIL/var/spool/imap/user This is the name of the volume, where the mail is stored, This can be different from the boot-volume, but in general it is the name of...

    Xserve will not remember link ?

    When some else opens a file, the rights are temprorary changed to read-only. This to prevent that 2 users open the same file and both make changes. In such a case the user which saves the lst revision will invalidate all previous changes by the other user. This is not a repairable permission...

    one of the two interfaces doesnt get IP from dhcp

    Go to network pane and check if the network card is enabled. If enabled, force a renew of the ip-information (renew ip). It looks like a misconfiguration if you get an ip-number in a different os on the same system. Check network status -> configure networkports -> enable build-in...

    Routing Tables

    This is no problem. You can enter this information in the NETWORK pane. You configure the wired nic with the required info (even DHCP) and also the wireless nic with the required info (even DHCP with all info completely different, ofcourse the ip-number must be different for both nic). I had...

    Xserve will not remember link ?

    Although I am not sure, it might be a problem of having no WRITE access to the file, which is reported as a missing link. If the other closes the file and you can access it again, i can think of almost nothing else what could cause something like this, but i have no experience, so my though...

    how do i enable Login/Startup network connection mapping?

    You can also make an alias and when need for the FTP drive, open the alias. The computer will only then make the connection thus prevention errors when on a location where the FP connection will not work. Ofcourse this will slow down the opening of the FTP on its first time access (but speed up...

    External drive usage

    There is no difference in the internal mechanicms for an internal drive and external one, so if you leave internal running, you can also leaving external running. Ofcourse you can not turn of internal ones. For security reasons and life span, hooking them up only when needed is not a bad...

    Networking Problem - Very Annoying

    What TCP/IP information do you get from the router. Do you have a connection to the router at all. Internet should work instantly after connection to a router so the issue may be different from what is now suggested. Check the IP-information with the information on one of the PC's and all...

    iMac 2.8 GHz: noise level of different hard disks ?

    The noise level is also depend on the brand of drive and its usage. Therefore it will be hard to give any definite suggestion to you. My experience is that harddrives are quite silent by themselves, only making noise when used - what you hear than is the movement of the head(s). The power...

    Setting up Wan

    As stated before W = WIDE, Wireless (that's call WiFi). WAN is used to connect a LAN network to the WORLD (internet). Therefore every router has a wan port which is hooked up to the modem, which connects you (through adsl or cable) to your isp. That makes you part of a very WIDE network ...
