It doesn't make a difference where the help GUY is. I appreciate the help wherever it comes from. I'm talking about the practice of outsourcing, which I'm of two minds about. On the one hand, I think creating better paying jobs in other countries is a good thing for the world as a whole. It's...

Well, Netgear responded to my irate comment form on their site. I got a call from a technician (again, offshore) and he worked through the problem with me. He actually called me back two more times after consulting with technicians. Bottom line is I can print Appletalk over IP, but not straight...

I have an Epson Stylus Photo 1270 with an attached Axis 1440 print server (which gives it an ethernet port, and supports Appletalk and, supposedly, TCP/IP printing).Just bought a Netgear wireless router, which unfortunately doesn't support Appletalk. At least it doesn't wirelessly - no problem...

I thought I'd done that by posting a question here before I bought. Lots of people chimed in about various brands including Netgear, but nobody mentioned the lack of Appletalk support. Perhaps not many forum members are still using Appletalk. Also, nobody mentioned their crappy phone service...

By "problems with them" I'm assuming you mean the routers, not the company. I would need Appletalk because my fine Epson Stylus Photo 1270 (6 colors, very pretty, large format, etc.) has an attached Axis print server that requires it. Printer's a few years old but no reason to junk it...

I just discovered my Netgear 802.11g router won't do Appletalk. That alone is a drag (plus the fact that I bought a wireless access point too so I could cover all of our rather long house, and cut out both UPCs from the boxes to send in for rebates - so I can't return 'em). The real drag...

My wife has a 12" AluBook (with Airport Extreme card) and I have a 12" iBook G3 (with Airport non-extreme). Both running 10.3.2 and Airport 3.3. Our base station is a Netgear 802.11-g box of some very recent vintage. Testing signal strength with MacStumbler, I get about 110 and she gets...

Can you suggest a public dns server? This field only seems to accept 0-9 and a-f, so I can't enter the alpha name of the host we're using - but perhaps that's not a DNS server anyway. Any idea how I determine what DNS server I should use? I should mention she can't get email either, though I...

I got it to work, using the SSH tunnel option in Fugu. I turn on Remote Login in Sharing prefs, then open a tunnel from local port 1040 to remote port 21, with my local machine hosting the tunnel. Instructions are in Fugu's documentation. Works pretty well, except there's no handy way to save...

My Asante FR1004AL wireless router just died. It's time to buy another one, plus I need an additional access point to cover the entire house (one router, one access point). Linksys, Netgear, Asante, etc. - who do you like, and more importantly - who do you hate? - Bob

I'm having trouble getting SSH Tunnel Manager to work. The problem is, I'm not entirely sure how to set up my configuration. I want to FTP (securely, from GoLive) to a web host. I have the address, username and password. I've previously connected to this host using SFTP via FUGU and some other...

Hmm - what's funny is, I'm finding Mail DOES go online again all by itself. I turn off airport (on my iBook) and do a 'check for mail' - all the accounts go offline. Then I turn airport back on and sooner or later I notice, all my accounts are online again and I'm getting mail. In fact....I just...

Naw, just a crabby perfectionist. That's the thing about these forums - all you ever hear about is what's going wrong. Actually my iBook is a champ, as is my G4 (now that I got some decent RAM the kernel panics have gone away). I guess I have high expectations for software. I'm always...

OK, I guess it's nice they decided to add label printing to Address Book, but why don't they let you select WHICH label to print on, or start with (if you're printing several). Maybe Apple's in cahoots with Avery - get people to waste more label sheets. Hey, those things ain't cheap! I used...

I had this problem a couple of months ago - suddenly I received several hundred emails. The strange thing was, I'd received these same emails (mostly junk) a week or so before. They were all dated within about a 5-day range, starting a week before and ending a couple of days before. Then a...

Huh - so you're saying Mail DOES automatically go back online? Didn't seem to be doing that for me, but maybe I just didn't notice - I'll have to check. If it does then you're right - better it does go offline. My wife's Entourage is always beeping and clanking when it can't get mail...

Hmm - actually no, this is about the only problem. I did post something about aliases and the sidebar... well, anyway - this is the only problem she's having, and frankly not worth the hassle of a clean install (since she's got about 10 GB of data and only a cd burner). Maybe I'll call Applecare...

Hmmm - someone posted a reply (at least I got an email) but it isn't showing up here. They said to update to 10.3.3, which includes Safari 1.2.1. We're going to hold off on 10.3.3 - I've run across far more problem reports on the 10.3.3 update than I've seen lately with other updates. We'll wait...

Seems I can't make aliases and put them in the sidebar. If I do they lose their alias name and icon. I have some folders in the Apache webserver that are named very 'functionally' and I'd like to put them in the sidebar, but the names are so 'functional' I have a hard time telling which is...

I just updated my wife's 12" AluBook to Panther (10.3.2) - via archive & install. I noticed Software Update didn't list Safari, so I downloaded 1.2 manually and tried to install - got a message that it couldn't/wouldn't install on her computer - i.e. that for some reason it wasn't allowed. I...
