When you're connecting to a home or office network using your AirPort card, your computer is not "connecting to the Internet." It's connecting to a LAN. You apparently have your …

My computer is configured to connect to the airport base, i've spoken to apple support and they checked all of the settings which appear to be ok, they used the same settings to su…

Have you considered reworking the base station's setup? If you're getting any sort of PPPoE message, (and you have the base station log you into your DSL connection) your base sta…

Hi all, I'm a complete noob to networking, and need some help! This is probably an easy scenario, but I'm confused what I need to buy for one part of the network, and I need to k…

Anyone???

You plan looks good to me. I don't think the WRT54GC will bridge to the Airport Express, but the WRT54GS5 should. Chris

I think you want the wireless router downstairs, connected directly to the ADSL Modem. The Airport Express should go upstairs and be uplinked to a hub or switch. If you had an Airp…

Nice diagram!

Hi All, do you know where i could find information about a Palm? i just switched from PC to Apple (and that rocks big time) and i couldn't find out how to use windows PC on Mac OS…

If you're considering a Treo (Palm with built-in phone), a good resource is www.treocentral.com /plug

Are there any firewire chipsets that support 500GB hard drives? I'm about to buy a 500gb hard drive, but since I have a laptop, I'll have to stick it in a firewire enclosure. The…

Any SATA enclosure will support all drive sizes. For regular ATA, just look for a case with large drive support ("48 bit LBA"). That boundary is at 137GB. It either does or doesn'…

I wish Firewire enclosures for SATA drives were more readily available. There are a couple, but they're really expensive ($100+) and, for the most part, pretty ugly.

SATA is a little too new for the support chips to be as available as the "accessory" market likes. They tend to wait until the support chips are fairly inexpensive and plentiful b…

That almost sounds like an artificial limitation. But I have another theory: it supports >200GB drives, but was released when 200GB was the biggest. Since it had not been teste…

Quote: Originally Posted by tooki That's because of two reasons: 1) No single drive ever released can saturate ATA/100. There is zero benefit from ATA/133, besides marketing. …

Quote: Originally Posted by ghporter I've also thought of another reason these things were slow to come out: slow acceptance of the concept that an external drive could be as si…

Hi, I currently have a Nokia 6600, and I was planning to get a Treo 650. Are there any issues with either Salling Clicker or Bluephoneelite on the Treo 650. I still haven't deci…

I just ordered my Verizon Treo 650 (switching from T-Mobile Nokia 3650 so I can get some decent goddamn reception). I'll let you know how it goes! I do know that Kinoma player can…
