Just a theory about the wireless option in the MS Zune. I think Microsoft will use the wireless feature to create a “music” version of the mini networks that allow teenagers to se…

I have to remember to turn my Epson printer off before booting from the 8.5 CD. No way to turn AppleTalk off. Is this something I just have to accept and put up with? I ended up …

Since its a CD you have to just accept it. The Chooser Prefs that keep AppleTalk on are burned into the CD and cannot be changed. Sorry about that..

Is there a way to get Toast 3.5 to make a UDF formatted CD-R. I'm a DVD Author, and it sure would be useful to make a CD-R of a DVD project (the menu system at least) to test on h…

Use Adaptec Direct CD to mace UDF disks. It does this well.

True, but be aware of this... Based on my experiences, the version of "UDF Volume Access" that comes with the new Blue and White G3s, version 1.2, is incompatible with discs creat…

anyone Educated in firewire yet? i know it should theoretically be possible to make a network of firewire devices including computer-- but where do i go for the items needed? how m…

firewire is a buss. It is more an advanced SCSI (but this not technicaly seen, only in use), and less a network-system. Meaning: everything transported over the firewire buss is s…

Well, it certainly is possible, but you'd have to write a library so OT could handle it. Apple has already stated it will not do it, however. I don't see why you couldn't run TCP/I…

Think different - how about a "storage" network and a regular network? It's definitely possible for multiple machines to have access to a storage array via FireWire. Dave -------…

I have 2 iMacs and a cable modem I'd like to share. Typically this type of setup would require a Mac with 2 ethernet cards, one for the cable modem and one to go to the hub where t…

First, you need to get a unique IP address for each iMac from your ISP. If they are willing to do this, it becomes easy to get everything working. Buy a 4 port Ethernet hub (a 10…

I have an Ethernet hub already, but if I even connect 1 iMac to it and the cable modem as well, the computer doesn't "see" the cable modem. I assume I simply have to have the cable…

There is a software soultion: IPNetRouter by http://www.sustworks.com/ It will let you use on e IP address with one cable modem. The only backdraw is that the iMac running IPNetRou…

Well, that's not quite true. Software like IPNetRouter works great for this sort of thing except for 1 little problem - the server machine must have 2 ethernet ports, one to connec…

Is your cable modem connected to the uplink port on your ethernet hub? If not, you will need to use an ethernet crossover cable to get the communication between your iMac and cable…

Right, the good people at Ask Dr. Farallon got back to me with the details on how to set up this sort of home LAN. The cable modem can connect with a standard cable to the uplink p…

is anyone aware of any wireless networking solutions for the mac?

There is the breeznet by http://www.breezecom.com/, an ethernet over radio solution. Its expensive but you can use the network while moving up to 50 mph.

Hi all. I have to transfer some data from a performa 6360 (no ehternet) to an iMac. I plan to dump the data into an external HD (non HFS+) connect it to my Powercenter Pro 210 (n…

There shouldn't be any problems doing your transfer. ------------------ -- Dave Gammage, MCSE Network Administrator Stouse, Inc.

If you are going to be passing data back and forth all the time, there are two ways we use to speed things up: First, most of our machines have Zip disk drives. That's our usual "…

Hi, I've done what you've mentioned and had no problems. I assume you want to use Appletalk, so you'll have to select "Ethernet" in the Appletalk control panel. Then you have to o…

Does anybody know what if any length limitations there are in a mac to mac ethernet connection, and where I could find various lenghts of ethernet cable w/ RJ-45 jacks at each end.…
