For the mail, I want to ssh from my iBook remotely, connect to my PowerMac G5 at home and then open Mail on my iBook. When I do this, I need Mail on the iBook configured to get my email through the PowerMac G5. I heard about this on Podcast #15 of Security Now! I don't quite understand what...

You need to tell us which Mirror Drive Door PowerMac you have. Some are only Airport compatible, the later models are Airport Extreme compatible. You must know which it is, since you cannot substitute one Airport for the other.

I own an Airport Express which does VPN Passthrough. I assume this means the router itself will NOT act as an endpoint to which I could connect when using my iBook away from home. If this is so, what software do I need to run on my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS X Tiger (non-server version) at...

Apparently, my initial message didn't make it on the forum, so here it is: I am wondering if I did everything I need to do in order to enable ssh. On my desktop Mac at home I opened sharing and checked Remote Login. I then forwarded the ssh port to this desktop Mac using the Airport Admin...

Here is a list of buttons you can hold at boot and what they do: T for Target Disk Mode (firewire only) cmd + s for Single User Boot (to command line prompt) cmd + v for Verbose Mode (DOS like screen showing kernel extensions loading X for Screen to choose Startup...

Don't use .Mac's Backup. You should download Carbon Copy Cloner from Versiontracker.com and when you run it, you say copy your Powerbook hard drive volume to the USB 2 Lacie drive and you will have a perfect clone. If you need to go back, just boot up the Powerbook off a CD, run Carbon Copy...

I moved the servlet-api.jar file which contains this library into the /Library/Java/Extensions directory and it is now seen.

I would like to know if there is any OS X application that you can start, then install an app, run the app once and then turn off this tracking application and it knows where all the files went for the app you installed and any new files it created on first run. I know I can find out what...

Why even bother with Quicktime to play your divx files? Let QT play QT files and download MPlayer or VLC for everything else. I routinely use both on all other types of media, because they don't require any extra codecs to download like QT does. I highly doubt divx would be fixed in 7.0.3...

First of all, Oracle and Apple only support Oracle 9i on MacOS X SERVER version 10.3.6. You are saying you want to install on 10.4.X. This is NOT supported. Also, you need to own MacOS X SERVER. Do you? If you don't meet these requirements, you will need to find someone who knows how to...

You can broadcast your SSID too. Not broadcasting it isn't going to make it meaningfully more secure. Let people know the SSID, but enter the MAC addresses of all computers you wish to allow on the network and use WPA-PSK with a strong password and whether or not you broadcast the SSID won't...

Just shut off both machines. Then, start up the powerbook and hold down the T key until you see a firewire symbol on the screen. Now, connect a firewire cable from the powerbook to the desktop mac. Next, just startup the desktop Mac. Once it has fully started up, the powerbook's hard drive...

First thing I would do is unplug your DSL modem, the graphite BS and AEX and shut down all computers. Next, turn on one of your computers. Wait a few minutes then turn on the DSL modem. Once all the lights stop frantically blinking, startup the graphite BS. At this point, you need to...

It won't be as snappy as OS 9 is that is for sure. I have OS X 10.3.9 installed on my 300 MHz Clamshell Rev A iBook and it performs faster than I expected, but then again I expected it to be very slow. It is actually sluggish, but acceptable. Then again, you are running at 233 MHz so it will...

I wouldn't bother upgrading unless you are doing it for fun and don't mind wasting money. The reason I say that is, this machine is fine as is, but not worth the money to upgrade. Having said that, if still interested, stick with maxxing out RAM, upgrading the Hard Drive and installing OSX...

I know a router doing DHCP can dynamically assign NAT'd IP addresses, but these need to be renewed. Perhaps, once it is assigned, there is a way to set an indefinite amount of time till renewal so it becomes permanent. Barring this, I'd suggest just manually set the IP of each computer so that...

I assume when I turn on the Macintosh firewall in Tiger 10.4.2, and enable Internet connection sharing, any computer connected to my Mac's ethernet port using the shared internet off my wirelessly connected Mac is protected behind the firewall. Anyone believe this is not so?

I have the same problem on my G5, but for some reason my iBook connects immediately. Has to be a setting of some sort, but I never bothered to find out which one since it's not a big issue with me. Think of it as extra security from the big bad internet.

When I try to open a .avi file with Quicktime 7, it says I need a plugin and takes me to a generic web page with several plugins. How am I supposed to know which one is needed? It doesn't even tell me which one I need to get? Also, I suspect this is a generic redirect to this page. The...

I like it very much also. I bought the game and finished 2 storylines, then never went back. I might go back in the future though, so I keep it updated. It really is a well done game.
