As shiff says, if it's just showing up as an available network, you have no real concerns-except maybe to change your own network to some non-default channel. That may even get yo…

I changed the channel my router uses and it seems to have resolved one issue and helped to ease some of my concerns. This "Cornerstone" that kept appearing was using channel 11. …

Is there any software tools one can use to view who is accessing or using a wireless network?

Check out MacStumbler. You can probably find it at MacUpdate.com and/or VersionTracker.com

this is a hypothetical question. if i had two linux box running openmosix on a linksys integrated router/hub and i run both of those boxes through ssh from my powerbook. would it …

1) Probably not if all you're doing is managing the boxes. If you're transferring files to or from them, then 10/100 trumps a (theoretical) max of 54Megabits per second all the ti…

Spend some time looking through the back-threads of this forum, and you'll see that there's already LOTS of information about each of the issues you have raised. I'm not big on OS…

Hi Guys i have a question about redirecting traffic to other computers connected via internet sharing... Here is the deal... My ibook is connected to a router (192.168.1.1) wir…

c'mon guys, isn't this something fairly simple like an natd re-direct command??? Just need a quick bit of help cheers, edd

Turn off your iBook firewall?

That's the thing.... It makes no difference!!! If i turn off the firewall, the NAT on my Xbox 360 is still set to moderate which means something isn't right... The thing is, wh…

Port Forwarding through Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing Is your XBOX 360 running on a computer behind Windows XP ICS? ICS is a bad excuse for a router in quite a lot of ways…

I think you're going at this the hard way. Why not set up a DMZ in the router for the XBox's IP? That would open it up to the Internet, while eliminating a need to do anything el…

I got my 1.83GHz MacBook Pro just 3 days back and I can say with a bare 30 minutes of usage its getting pretty HOT....Its basically the bottom left hand side of the laptop. The top…

Unfortunately, it's normal for Apple laptops, and many others too, to get very hot underneath. It's been like that with almost every generation of G3 and G4 powerbooks and now also…

The aluminum case acts as a giant heatsink, spreading the heat from the CPU/chipset/GPU/CCFL out all over the bottom surface of the laptop. I prefer laptops which have plastic case…

I'm pretty sure from a photograph I saw posted that there is a direct connection via thermal paste from at least one of the major chips -- maybe the processor itself -- to the bott…

I had a Pentium3 500mhz before and it gets hot. For the most part, I think people will just have to deal with it because as computers get faster, it's only normal they get hotter.

The neat part about the macbook is that the hottest parts of it are the parts that you touch the least. That is unless you're resting the laptop on your legs. The power inverter a…

I had a thinkpad T40 1.6ghz centrino and it got warm, but never as hot as my powerbook G4 1.67.
