Actually most of the functions you can get with third-party firmware are "advanced," not stuff most people want, need, or even know how to use. For example, you can crank up the o…

Exactly. Most of the features that are "locked out" are advanced features that most people do not even need and will do fine without.

does this router work well for the new mactels?

Wireless networking is done according to international standards. NOTHING about basic wirless networking-or wired networking, for that matter-is platform dependent.

All, Since installing a wireless router (D-Link DI-624) I can no longer FTP into my remote web server. My setup: I live in the sticks, so I have a wireless internet provider (Mo…

You have to set the Mac you want to use as a FTP server to a fixed local IP address. Set the Airport TCP/IP prefs in the G4 as follows: Connect Manully IP address = 192.168.0.20 G…

[Sorry, I misunderstood. To FTP to your ISP set your FTP client to Passive Mode (PASV). If you haven't tried it already, try RBrowser: http://www.rbrowser.com/download.html whic…

I have my 12" Powerbook 1.33Ghz with Airport using a D-Link DI-624 with WEP password and have no problems. A friend said he had a more powerful router that I could use. It's an A…

I'll address WEP later. First, how are you entering the password in your PowerBook? The "WEP password" is really a key, and for the entire rest of the industry defaults to hexade…

I need to access my home computer from work. I have a dyndns account and my computer is behind an Airport Extreme which is connected to a cable modem. I would like to use VNC and a…

Mac to Mac ? Or Windows to Mac ? I use Windows, Putty (open ssh client) and VNC to securly log into my home ibook.. I configured putty to accept all local connections on port 590…

Mac to Mac.

Ah, man, this sucks. Once your thread gets sent to the UNIX forum it's all over. It's the black hole of forums. It's really annoying when the mods do this. Asking a question abou…

Now that we're here, I guess. I've been playing around and I have made a little bit of progress. I fired up Apple Remote Desktop preferences and set it to allow VNC connections (I…

Well, I set mine up and it works fine. Your home machine (the one you want to tunnel to) needs to be set up with a fixed IP address and you need to port forward port 22 from the ro…

So, yeah... ever since i got my Mac working again, here's what i've been working on: Energy Bliss v0.65b •Included Segoe Ui font •Vista Icons (separate from the scheme) •XP Sounds…

Before you jump on me, I did search for this, but didn't find the answer. I'm thinking about getting a laptop (yea! tax return!!) and in conjunction with that, I am thinking abo…

You don't need to connect the wifi ap directly to the cable modem. Just connect the APBS to a free port on your d-link, and disable nat/dhcp on the APBS. Should work out of the bo…

Pretty much what mduell said.

This is good news. Thanks. Anyone disagree with the above? How about the printer functionality? However, this may be moot if Citrix doesn't work. I just posted a question in …
