My router keeps reporting this in the log. What does it mean. Can I fix this? [WARN] Mon Sep 18 18:36:33 2006 Packet Dropped waiting to resolve MAC for IP 10.20.1.2 [WARN] Mon Sep 18 16:59:47 2006 Packet Dropped waiting to resolve MAC for IP 10.20.1.2 [WARN] Mon Sep 18 15:29:48 2006...

I am having a strange problem with DNS lookups. My router is a Trendnet TEW-611, it has a built in DNS Relay. So that means all I should have to do is set the IP of my router as my DNS server. Yet when I do this DNS lookups are very slow, where if I put the DNS address's of my ISP directly in...

I have three Macs (G5,G4,G3) and one PC on my network. Until last week everything ran fine, then monday all three Macs started to crawl on downloads, but the PC is fine. Thinking my cable modem was bad I got a new one, no change, went back and picked up another cable modem, still no change. I...

Over the past year I have had 2 older iMacs and 1 600MHz iBook brought to me with what appeared to be dead Ethernet ports. For all outward appearances the ports were DOA. No router or switch would show any sign of life on the Ethernet ports when hooked up to these Macs. BUT in each case I...

I am not sure if I am following the right procedure to make DVD's from iMovie. After I finish editing my file, I go to Share and Export the movie as a DV stream. This can take quite some time. Then I open iDVD and drop that DV stream file onto the drop zone of the look that I want. I click on...

Ok so I need some very specific help with a problem. I have a MAC running iChat over Cable Modem. My father has a PC running AIM over Bellsouth DSL using a Westell 6100 modem/router. We can't establish a video connection. We always get the error the connection failed. I know my end is ok, as I...

Has anyone received their checks for the settlement of the OSX/G3 lawsuit? I filled out my paperwork and sent in the disks a long time ago and have not heard a word since. Zax

Does anyone make a wireless router with a built in USB print server that works with both OSX and OS9. I can find lots of router/servers, but so far none that support mac in print server, only windows. I have an iMac running X and an old 3400 laptop running OS 9 and I want them both to share one...

Since I upgraded to Panther I have noticed an interesting problem. I use a program to set my TCP RCV window to 54020, and terminal confirms that is what the window is. But when I go to http://www.speedguide.net/analyzer it always says my window is 65535. I also get the same results off of the...

Is there any way in OSX to force the speed/duplex mode in an older iMac 333mhz machine? The standard terminal commands do not work, nor does Cocktail. It seems that the old iMac uses a BMAC ethernet chip set, wheras modern Macs use a GMAC chip set. The BMAC must need different commands, but I...

is there a way in OS X to force the ethernet card to run at 10/Full instead of auto negotiation? thanks zax

I have three Macs connected together using a linksys router. Mac 1 and Mac 2 talk to each other just fine and exchange files at about 82Mbps. But Mac 3 has an issue. It is an older 333iMac. When I send files to it I get a consistent 62Mbps, which is fine considering the 5400RPM drive and 66Mhz...

I have had it with the head clogs on my Epson printer. I want to buy a priner that changes the heads with each new cartridge. Can anyone reccomend a good printer for around $150 that fits the bill. Thanks Zax

I have three macs setup through a Linksys router. Two of the machines run OS X, one runs OS 9 (and has to stay on 9). I have one printer to share. Is there anyway to let the machine running 9 share the printer that the machines running X use. Thanks, Zax

Some time ago someone posted how to use PICO to make permanent changes to various TCP settings. It involved modifying a file in the /etc folder. I lost the info and could really use it again. I want to change my TCP recv window, the state of RFC1323 and a couple of other things. Can anyone...

I want to write a script that enters the following command at Start up in the Terminal: sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=0 But I cant make it work. Better yet I would like to change this variable permanently so I never have to enter it again, can I do that? Thanks Zax

I am in the process of handing over my old G4 400 AGP to my 12 year old son to use. He mostly plays games. The machine has the original AGP 2x ATI card in it, but I also own a ATI 128 VR card that I have not used in a couple years. Which card is the better one to use in the machine for his...

My friend just did the switch from PC to MAC (yes a convert) and we have a problem, all of the files he needs are on his PC. But the PC is dead. Burned up the mother board. If we take the hard drive out of the PC and put it in the MAC will we be able to read it, or wil OSX just try to erase it...

I want to replace the AGP rage pro video card in my 400mhz G4 sawtooth. I want to put a radeon card in. I went to the store and they had several radeon cards for PC's and a couple for mac, but the price difference was huge. Do I have to use the ones that say for mac, or are they all the same...
