    How to set up a server with Airport?

    Well that should work then. By the way, you do know that you can't loop out and into your own airport? FYI I have an iMac with internal IP 10.0.1.2. I set it up as a server that listens on port 8001. I port forward the airport so that port 8001 on the airport goes to port 8001 on IP...

    xhost on macosx

    For your second issue: root probably isn't enabled, but you can use sudo instead: sudo <command> You will then be prompted for your password, and type in your normal password. The command will then be executed with root status effectively. I find this much safer than enabling root and...

    uptime reveals 2 extra users! Why?

    I just noticed that problem with the improperly terminated shells. It happens to me when I have a terminal window open and hit Command-W without typing 'exit' first. To get rid of (e.g.) ttyp2 assuming that I have ttyp1 open, I just open another window, which is called ttyp2 and then exit...

    How to set up a server with Airport?

    the application documentation should be able to tell you somewhere (carracho in this case) what port numbers it uses. In fact, a quick check on the FAQ section of www.carracho.com shows the following: Go into the airport admin utililty, select the port mapping tab and make three entries...

    How to set up a server with Airport?

    That is what port forwarding is for. All outside conections hit the router, but by using port forwarding you can route them to a specific computer. e.g. my ISP blocks ports 80 for incoming connections. I have set up my base station to forward connections on port 8090 to be routed to my iMac...

    How to set up a server with Airport?

    You need the IP of the base station's ethernet port. Remember that a computer doesn't really have an IP address (ignoring localhost), an interface does. If you go into the airport admin utility and click on the internet tab then the IP address shown is the IP that can be used to get to your...

    MySQL table definition frustrations...

    I modified the code a bit to get it working: CREATE TABLE conf_eval (unique_identifier INT(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, Identity_1 CHAR(12), First_conference CHAR(3), Compared_to_previous CHAR(14), Compared_to_previous_comments TEXT, Overall_rating CHAR(14)...

    Connecting to another computer through two airports

    Where are the airports getting their IP from? Are they actually on the same network and using the same DHCP server? R.

    I wouldn't call a column Identity. It is likely to be a reserved word. Call it something else and see what happens. R.

    beep beep - not starting up!

    look on the apple web site for startup chime information - it may give a clue. I would, but I cannot connect at the moment because my ISP is having problems.

    iPods at Target?

    you can't just move the product - there is a lead time to build these things. It takes a large amount of investment to build a large stock of a product, so Apple is doing the right thing by gradually introducing it into the market place.

    Why is this forum so slow?

    bbloke - I didn't mean you, or even people in this forum, more the people on the vBulletin.com forum, whose discussion was low quality IMHO. Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I agree that IE (on PC) is a common thread, but so is vBulletin. The two pieces of software don't seem to like...

    Why is this forum so slow?

    People are being quick to blame IE, but it could be the vBulletin software - it is not possible to tell at the moment. What we do know is that vBulletin is generating graphics that IE on a PC may not be happy with. Whatever it is, it is a real pain. Changing the browser is not an option - at...
