NixGeek You are my Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much for info!!!!!!!!!!!!! Power Mac 7600 is up on the net! Free dial up seems to be glich free so far. I will try the Quadra 840 next. Now I can download the software direct and won't need to network through my PC but I can always...

Nixgeek thanks for info I tried a search for that info yesterday but was unable to find a resource for Fredialup that had that info. I will try it again and see if that works as I am have trouble with Copper it only brings me to their web site and nowhere else oh well but thanks again.I really...

Excuse my lack of knowledge I am usually pretty good at figuiring things out. Well a book would be great but since I don't have a book yet and my main interest is not so much to surf the web but be able to get software -games, audio etc for my Mac's on line. I have cable and a PC but the files...

I am trying to be creative and it's just I thought it would be simple because I have done it in the past but with windows based units the Mac is totally new to me and the configuiration process is a little different than what I am used to and called different things so there lies some of my...

Well I dumped Fredialup and tried copper.net cheap service. I seems that after much searching online I found out that Freedialup doesn't support Mac OS. Copper does but the hitch is I can log in go to their web site but not elswhere IE and Netscape are just not working I keep getting error...

Interestingly enough I tried Fredialup.org on my PC took 5 minutes to set up and I am up and surfing so I don't know why my Mac won't work. Really stumped. Is it really that much more difficult on an older Mac?

This may be the problem isn't the ISP # the same as the DNS number? That's what I put in the DNS box as that is the number I recieved when I connect to server in PPP panel. it's a series of numbers seperated by dots like 22.162.155.2 for example? Dewey

It's freedialup.org. Their website says it's current and open. They do have restrictions

Still no go I tripled checked all settings PPP, TCI are correct. I still get from Netscape unable to locate server check locations I put the URL of sever in that spot but still won't go to internet. IE just says unable to open page. I am quite stumped. My mac is defintely connected to server...

Hi all I thought I resolved some of my other issues but I have sticking point. I decided since I can't get my software for my mac off the internet through my PC I decided to hook one or the other to the internet. Well I found a free dial server since I didn't want to try to go through the...

Well the next thing to try I guess is to hookup an internet acess and see if I download driectly to Mac and see if that works. I hope all this all worth the effort I seem to be chasing my tail with these projects. A simple plan to put games on my son's Power Mac and turn my Quadra into a...

Hi all I updated my Quadra840 the other day to 8.0 so it has Stuffit on it. almost all the .sit files still won't expand except for one which was newer version of stuffit go figuire and that won't open anything either. It recognizes them but when I click on expand in to a folder nada zip. Could...

There is a stuffit engine on the unit but it doesn't work some kind of error message. I will have to look through some of my old OS software disc and see if I can find it. I tried Binhex but I could not get it to load. If I click on it Claris opens and tells me can't find text. I tried to open...

Ok so I need an extractor that will work with OS 8.6 anybody have an idea where to get one? All the older versions of stuffit have broken links and all the links that work are .dmg files or sit or hqx, which I can't open either unless I am doing something wrong, which doesn't help because I...

I downloaded some games for my sons older mac running 8.6 unable to open .sit files I looked for software but they were .sit ,.dmg or zip I can't open them I tried stuff it unanarchiver but can't get them to work because they are all in a compressed format. Any suggestions ? I got these from a...

Anybody have a jaz drive? I have a used one with one cartidge that came with my free computers. It is intermitently noisy and after install it does not appear on desk top but I can access it through Jaz tools. It appears to have initialing problems. Could it be just a bad cartridge or do you...

Hey all I did end putting 8.0 2 nights ago and I used a minimal install because I won't be using it for internet etc. It loaded fine I had to boot form the CD to install and it took a while but works great right now. It may an illusion but my Quadra seems faster with 8.0. I have a 1 gb drive...

I read that 7.5 is a hard disc and memory eater. Is 8.0 less so or would a ealrier version of 7 more desirable? I don't have that much memory on board. It also looks like a hassle to get at the board where memory resides. Would I be better off leaving the 7.1 alone and running it as is. I plan...
