Woah! I didn't see anything about ISP software... Please give details! It's quite possible that their software DID do something to your laptop that keeps it from getting an IP f…

Unplug the router, modem etc... Plug the computer directly back into the modem, and then turn them both on again. Get the IP, and now go through the procedure of connecting the r…

I set my system up! I couldn't register my new cable account without running their software. ghporter, I've described the ISP software in the original post. In the last paragrap…

Thorin, I missed that in my original read. Sorry, because I think what's going on has a lot to do with what the software did. From the log it looks like it did a number of things…

Before I moved house I didn't have any of those settings in (though I will try as you've suggested). I knew it set up an email account in mail, which I've left because it's actual…

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.

Up until now, I've been pretty happy maintaining two directories for my website locally (/images/ and /thumbnails/). AppleScript has made the process even easier for batch-process …

I've got a slightly different version of that scheme deployed on one site, which uses GD to resize a photo on upload and generate a thumbnail that's stored elsewhere. (It's a slowe…

I wouldn't do this if I were you, to be honest. At the absolute least I wouldn't have them generated on the fly every time; scaling images is usually very processor-intensive and s…

Is it possible to use GD to resize a thumbnail, and save this thumbnail to a directory? It's funny and convenient this thread exists, because I was just about to look into this mys…

Fascinating. I think for my purposes I'm persuaded that the best approach is to auto-generate the thumbnails when the images are first uploaded. But would that entail triggering s…

Quote: Originally Posted by selowitch BTW, a bit of tangent: I like to put the /images/ and /thumbnails/ directories on the same level, so that my code can infer the location o…

I have a script that uses GD to pull it off. And I use multiviews to pass variables to the script. So I don't actually have an images directory, but rather images.php which handl…

A lot of content management systems use a form for uploading an image that calls the creation of thumbnails. You could also simply have an administrative page with a call to search…

I'll throw in a vote for ImageMagick (convert). its on most servers and is easy to call from php. this is especially useful if you are not the one uploading images but have say a c…

I actually have a image asset management system that I wrote, The best on the fly thumbnailer is by far phpthumb. you can apply it directly in your code, have images resized, water…
