    Airport/iBook works, Airport/AlBook doesn't

    Rack mount UPS... suggestions please!

    These are very good units and well worth the cost. You should not go for dollars when looking at protection, less dollars will equate to less protection, bad warranties, and shorter life. Go for one of these and be assured your stuff will be well taken care of by both the units and APC...

    Kernel Panics in Panther - my saga

    They had Apple replace the memory and it fixed the problem. At 6 mos old, your PB is still in warranty and you should take it in and let them replace chip. Also, highly recommend AppleCare. It may seem expensive, but will be well worth it 2 years from now and the PB starts dying. Mike

    Linksys Wireless Router - NO Ethernet

    My first thought here is DNS or DHCP. The Macs using DHCP sometimes do not get the DNS settings from the router, if they are there in the first place. When you go to your network pref, you say it has an IP address but may not be able to connect to internet. this usually means your IP in tcp tab...

A hub differs from a switch in that the packets from a network on a hub are broadcast to all ports on the hub and on a switch they are directed to the port they are destined for only. The difference between a...

    Cannot start up from OS 9.2.2 cd

    You can also boot from the Restore CD and just install Classic. It is what I did on my G4 and it worked fine for my Classic apps without a full blown OS 9 install. Mikey
