    TiBook running 10.3.4 I'm trying to set up my Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router with my new DSL modem. The router was set up with IP of 192.168.0.1, but so was the new DSL modem so I thought I'd change the router IP back to the default IP, via the web interface. Unfortunately I changed the...

    RAM compatibility, iMac 333

    My brother picked up an old iMac ("5 flavors" 1999, 333 MHz, 32 MB RAM still running 8.5) and wants to add some RAM and run it as a websurf-email machine. I'm wondering if the two, factory 256 MB chips that I removed from my TiBook (DVI) will work in the iMac? If so, then I'll mail them to...

    Print Center: deleting "pink" printers?

    In my Print Center, there are a few printers that are listed on a pinkish background. Unlike standard printers (listed on a white background), when I select these printers in Print Center I can't delete them. If I get info on them, their Host Name is a different machine on our local network...

    Classic apps stopped printing

    After upgrading to 10.2.3, I can no longer print from Classic applications. When I type Command-P the application I'm in (I tried several) immediately quits. Printing is fine in X, was fine in X and Classic (9.2.2) before the upgrade. It is possible that the problem isn't due specifically to the...
