Thanks for that.

Hi All, Currently running OSX 10.5 and was wondering if anyone knows how to find your gateway address in Terminal? IFCONFIG only appears to show the IP address. I know you can find it via System Preferences > Network but would like to know if it is possible to find it via terminal.

I can access the files when on the network. The issue is, as stated, I would like to make these files on the windows share available offline for the mac.

Sorry All, The network is just a basic windows workgroup. The network files are shared from a Windows machine and needs to be accessed via a Macbook Pro running Leopard.

I know that in Windows you can sync your network files with your local pc when going offline but is there a way to do this with a Mac...?

Hi guys, How can I look at what ports are open on my macbook. I know in Windows there is an application call Active Ports which views all port activity. Is there anything similar....?

Have increased the spam security in Entourage and that seems to have done the job for now.....failing this I guess I will have to bite the bullet and buy something......thanks everyone for their help...yes even you Satcomer......:P

Thanks for the input kevin but this was fixed some time ago......can't remember how this was fixed but it is ok now......will close this

I do have that enabled but was wondering if there was anything better. Have it currently set to low to catch the most obvious ones but it doesn't do a very good job. Do you recommend I increase it to high...?

Hi All, Does anybody know of any effective free spam filtering software for OSX Leopard...? Am running Entourage 2008 as my email client.

Oops sorry but forgot to add my specs: Macbook Pro OSX Leopard 10.5.4 Firefox 3.0.1 Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 Hope this will help...

I use Thunderbird for my email and Firefox for my browsing. For both Thunderbird and Firefox I have them asking me where to save files that I download. I have also changed in Safari, even though I do not use this, to save downloaded files in a temp directory I created. However, whenever I open...

I am running a Windows XP Pro virtual machine through parallels on my macbook pro. What I would like to do is automount a share on the windows machine to my mac at startup. I've done a little googling and found that I should create an auto.smb file and then within auto_master add the mount. My...

I am running a virtual windows machine through parallels on my macbook pro. What I would like to do is automount a share on the windows machine to my mac at startup. I've done a little googling and found that I should create an auto.smb file and then within auto_master add the mount. My...

That is where the problem lies....when I choose to only open the file it opens but saves a copy in the Downloads directory....this is what I would like to change if possible....

nixgeek i think you've misunderstood what I asked.....when I try to open a document via Firefox it opens up fine...its just the location where it saves that file that i want to change....i've set Firefox to ask me where to save the file and yet it still saves to Downloads not my temp directory....

Thats fine but I still don't think i'm being very clear so will create a scenario. I search for something in google and see that one of the links is to a document. When i click on that link it opens up a window asking if i would like to save or open the document. If i click on open the...

I understand that but the problem is: a: how do i dictate where these files are saved; and b: how do i have firefox remove these files.

Whenever I open a file through Firefox (from the internet) it seems to automatically save the file in my Downloads directory. How do you stop firefox from saving these files. I only want to open them, not save them. Have tried changing the preferences in Safari and Thunderbird to ask me where...

tried the repair on both the OSX and Windows partition (FAT32)...both disks seemed OK. Still no luck with seeing these boot partitions within Startup Disk. When the OSX Leopard installation CD is in I get the option to boot from the Installation CD but not from the OS partitions. Not a big...
