I know how to manage the network's password, but I also want to prevent other users on this shared Windows computer, or other computers (mostly Macs) on this network, from opening AirPort Utility and changing their settings. I thought at one time I had to enter a password to get into Airport...

Hey Satcomer: Your suggestion was dead-on. I am astounded at both how well it works and how easy it was to implement. What a cool service! Thanks for the scoop.

Guys: I apologize in advance if this been asked. Search didn't help me find it if it has been... Is there a way to get my Airport to log the sites visited by computers on the network? Some of my prior routers and/or firewalls did (Linksys and/or other Windows-based). I'm still trying to...

I saw that, and it sounded like something I should want to do. But when I try to "advertise" my printers, the Airport Utility tells me: "Advertising a service globally using Bonjour requires a wide-area hostname. You can configure your Bonjour settings by clicking the...

OK, Great. Thanks for the info. I'm not sophisticated enough to connect to a printer on a distant router through Port 9100 on my own, but I'll go surfing and see what guidance I can come up with. I'm not exactly a fan of Bonjour right now, so this may be my way around it. Thanks again!

Just installed Airport Extreme. Went beautifully: - iMac (OSX 10.5) can connect wirelessly to Internet, - IBM ThinkPad (XP, SP-2) can connect wirelessly to Internet, - iMac can print to printer connected to the USB port of the AE. Problem comes when I need to print from the...

Just upgraded to Leopard (finally...). When I did, it lost all the approved email addresses in my kids' parental controls settings. A lot of them. Not only do I have to re-enter them, I don't even know what they were. Might they be on this drive somewhere but I can't find them? Might they...

Success! Thank you so much for your patience... But it wasn't that easy. I have followed both suggestions, the one proposed at iFelix above as well as the "advanced" version documented in another iFelix article and at Apple here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301397 All...

duh. OK, lets try this again, WITH MY IP ADDRESS... (not surprisingly, it works better this way...) Last login: Sun Aug 13 14:53:39 on console Welcome to Darwin! imac:~ ken$ smbclient -NL 192.168.1.100 Domain=[SERVER] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]...

Guest is on at the XP box. Terminal session: Last login: Sun Aug 13 11:11:35 on ttyp1 Welcome to Darwin! imac:~ ken$ smbclient -NL IP_address_of_PC_here Connection to IP_address_of_PC_here failed imac:~ ken$ Hmmm... that doesn't look good, does it?

Turned the firewall off. Printer is shared. Login and pswd on my XP box are identical to the ones on my Mac. On the Mac, I have SystemPreferences|Sharing|Printer Sharing and Windows Sharing both turned on. Still, when printing... "Unable to connect to SAMBA host...Connection failed with...

OK. I thought it sounded too easy. Drivers downloaded. Printer found in print setup. Cool. Proper printer drivers were right there where I had expected them all along (Thank you PrintFab!) Try to print a simple page... Failure. First message: Connection failed with error --...

Hi gsahli: 1. You did answer a question for me ages ago about network printing, but I gave up on that effort a while ago. You were right about the kinks not being 100% out of the Airport Express and Tiger combo at the time. 2. OK, so let me simplify your answer, and see if I’m reading...

I am throwing in the towel on getting my Mac to see and install drivers for my Canon Pixma printer atttached to a shared networked XP machine. Other threads herein have expressed similar frustration (and the guys at the Apple store sold me this piece of junk! but I digress...) Going back to...

Yes, it was about the conclusion I came to. After about a week of not being able to even contact the DLink box through the IP address they swear it is broadcasting on, or anything close, and having ABSOLUTELY no other Mac support or help from them whatsoever, I just bagged the whole thing, took...

Am new to my iMac, having just moved over from the Dark Side. Still trying to learn all the secrets, so bear with me. Problem: basic wireless printing. Have iMac in one room and generic Linksys g router and new Canon Pixma 4000 printer in another. Mac immediately saw and connected to the...
