I am managing a rather large network. it contains about 20 macs on one switch and 20 macs on another. I have a fibre link between these switches but i cannot get any communication down the cable. here is the configuration: 20macs connected to planet fgsw-2402rs smart switch. This switch...

yes i configured this mac exactly the same as it's neighbours. In a last didtch attempt. i did a network install of the 10.2.8 update and it has fixed the problem. Which is strange sincea all the other emac were running fine on 10.2.5. There must be some corrupt file somewhere. thank you...

nah this is an isolated network. it was supposed to connect to another departments network via fiber but the fiber speeds are incompatible and there is no communication. All other emacs work fine

1. My Mac is plugged in to a switch with several other macs which are all working fine. i have tried different cables and sockets that are known to work but i'va had no joy here. 2.Yes in network preferences i have supplied an IP address for both manual, and manaul with dchp. i even tried dchp...

In my sharing control panel under my computer name my IP address is blank and no matter what i do i cannot get it to display a figure. i have tried DCHP, manual etc reinstalling my ethernet restoring my software zapping PRAM reparing preferences running mac janitor running disc checks...

i have set up and account using ldapv3 which i am able to log into on any client but it cann't find the home directory located on the server. i have configured the account to automount the home directory and have specified a directory on the server but still no luck. i think it may be...

thanx for the info so far. i am digesting it well. at the moment the network is a 100mbit. which seems fine for documents but i don't think the audio applications will like it much. how about this for an idea. when a user in confronted with the login screen they have to options. 1. they...

thanx. thinking a little deeper into this now, would it be possible to manage accounts and privellages from one main server so that any user can log onto any machine and be able to work securly. However due to bandwidth limitations i would prefer applications to be run and data to be stored...

i am aware there are many password encryption programs for OS X but i'm more interested in a simpler managable approach. the situation is that i have several emacs which are roughly used by about 100 people at somepoint during a week. instead of setting up hundreads of user accounts i would...

thanx now i've got a good excuse to upgrade the link that some idiot installed. anyhows it would be very wise to connect two heavily used switches with a gigabit link

thanx for the help changing the permission on the desktop has locked it good. i tried to mount a server in the normal finder then switch to simple finder but all dekstop icons finish. i going to see if there is a way of making it appear in the on the dock on in one of the folders on the...

two questions here. is it possible to lock the desktop to stop files being put on it. i ask this because is have a lot of trouble telling kids to save all their work in the document folder and they leave their work everywhere. a solution to this would be to use the simple finder but does this...

i know gigabit is backwards compatible but does this apply with fibre links. if i was to have an ethernet switch with a gigabit fibre card would this work with a fast ethernet switch? i ask this because my network is split in half by a fibre link. at either end is a switch and at one end is a...
