Just to clarify, things like my 'broadband PIN' were just used to match my account/billing details to this installation, it's not stored anywhere on my computer in any settings. I…

Never let the cable guy touch your mac. They only lay cable.. most don't know anything about setting up a mac.

Fixed it. I'd tried it with another powerbook, and encountered the same problem. Whichever book connected first got the external IP address from the router, the next to connect g…

Stuff breaks, wears out and dies. This is life. Getting the stuff replaced and having it work right away is cool. Congrats!

The WRT54G had been on 24/7 for over two years, then had been unplugged, stuffed in a box and stuck in a garage for a month. The last piece of networking kit to break on me was an…

I think you have to use the MAC address cloning feature of the LinkSys to clone the MAC address of your PB. When you first connect your PB to the modem and ran the setup software…

Yeah I'd already tried MAC address cloning. I also went away for a week and left both the router and the modem switched off, which should have cured that problem were that the cas…

Have you tried updating the router firmware? If the old firmware is corrupted, that might solve the problem.

I'm going to be switching from DSL to Cable, and in doing so I'm gonna lose my static IP. Since I run a server, I'm going to need a dynamic dns service, and I'm wondering which th…

Try ZoneEdit (www.zoneedit.com). They'll cover you on both counts.

http://www.dyndns.org I've used them for about 4 years, they're great. I think it's $20 a year to use your own domain, so that doesn't qualify under your free requirement, but $2…

Alright here it goes... I have a airport express router. I have a powerbook G4. I would like to SSH into the powerbook G4 from a remote location, ie my Hiptop with Terminal. …

Go to http://www.whatismyip.com and find your EXTERNAL IP address. Now when you're remote SSH to this IP. That IP is the one which your router has been assigned by your ISP.

Hey all, here's a problem for the most experienced of Networkers. We've got a small office with five Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.2, all Software updates applied as of October 17, …

Go into the DL setup program to the Status page and make a note of the IP addresses for your ISP's primary and secondary domain name servers (DNS). Enter these numbers on separate …

John, You are a god. That did the trick. Thank you! You know, I asked Comcast for the DNS numbers, because I thought that would do the trick, and the phone representative refus…

They should remain the same indefinitely

Hi i didnt know if this belongs in networking or ibook, so sorry if its wrong I use my new ibook at home and at school, and I have to totally change the wireless settings on my…

I have a similar problem with my ibook. Any time I try to use it at school, where the wifi network is not broadcast, I have to completely reconfigure the airport to connect to it.…

You can create a new location profile by going to System Preferences/Network. Click the Location button and select New Location. After creating a new profile you need only select…

And this belongs in Networking so there it goes!

Yes I keep having the same problem, first on my 17" G4 and now on a MacBook Pro. I fixed it once on the 17" by completely deleting all network preferences. And it worked fine for a…

I'd like to run my own mail server off my OS X box at home (Panther Server.) Unfortunately my ISP blocks port 25 in order to reduce spam. Is there any way to get around port 25 be…
