    WPA Security on an Old Airport Card?

    Safari and RealPlayer Problems at bbc.co.uk

    Do you have Little Snitch installed? If so maybe it's just a simple fix. Just check to make sure you haven't denied access to ports that Safari needs to connect to. It should be pointed out that not all BBC video seems to work properly anyway. Current Slobodan Milosovic video just shows the BBC...

    Is my Mac jacking with my wireless router?

    I'd try giving the macbook a static ip. Also check for firmware updates for your router. It could also be that your router is dying. My last router had similar symptoms, before it carked it.

    Motorola SLVR; your opinions please

    "I will agree there are some things that could be better on the RAZR." The only thing I like about my Razr is that it looks good. The rest, for me, is utter cack.

    Motorola SLVR; your opinions please

    Razr: utter cack. The worst phone I have ever owned. Unless they have a radical change of os, I would never get another motorola. Contact management is particularly bad. It doesn't allow me to sms from my mac, like my old (3 year old!) phone did. bad, bad, bad.

    IP Configuration alert

    This is a mac address (also known as Airport id) not an ip address. A mac address is unique to each computer. This mac address may be your own computer. To find your mac address go to Network and then choose 'airport' or ethernet, whatever you use to connect to the router. Hope this helps :)

    Best Mac Usenet Reader

    I use igrabnews http://igrabnews.free.fr/ which is usually reliable for downloads and it's free too. Unison is also very good (and worth the cash!) , but I don't like the way it handles downloads. If you are looking for a newsgroup reader then choose Unison. If you want to download, choose...

    This happens to me too. This works for me usually! Close Safari Use Onyx (or other similar app) to clear Safari's caches Restart mac Rss should be back to normal. Occasionally I have had to do this twice before it'll work. Hope this helps!

    Powerbook G4 temperature

    Mine could cook an egg after a couple of hours of Photoshop! Excessive heat does shorten the working life of components, but it is also a given with most laptops. I don't worry about it, but I do make sure that all of the air vents a kept clear of obstructions (& dust!)

    Ethernet router & ADSL broadband

    Without meaning to sound rude, I suggest you read the manual for your router and the information from Tiscali. If you don't have the originals then they will be readily available from the Linksys and Tiscali websites. The instructions for the router and the information from Tiscali will be...

    Let's talk soundcards

    lol, 'mp3s' and 'decent quality sound' do not really belong in the same sentence. ;) Don't waste your money on a sound card, just get some decent speakers. Harmon Kardon Soundsticks, whilst pricey, are really good...
