I've been reading around on how to make use of the FPT capabilities built into OSX. I'm kind of clueless, on this area. I would like to be able to remotely log into my mac at hom…

I use Interarchy to pick up stuff from my desktop system that I "forgot" to take with me to work on my MacBook Pro. A single-user licence is only $39 and it's really easy to use, a…

I'm trying to do the same thing, does it matter if the computer goes to sleep?

Do you need a static IP for this? I tried to set up my airport with a static IP (I read instruction on portforward.com) but, Comcast won't give me the IP for the DNS server (I thi…

A static IP is obviously preferable but most ISPs won't give you one unless you pay silly money for a business account. But if you are using a cable modem, running a LAN behind a r…

Thanks CMS! I've usually just been satisfied with hooking up the airport and logging right on, but learning all these new tricks with networking is starting to interest me more. …

There is excellent info on this topic including a detailed step by step video at this link: http://howto.diveintomark.org/remote-mac/ enjoy, Rich

The quicktime guide is brilliant if not confusingly extensive for a newbie. Would the procedure be the same if you just want to connect mac to mac rather that pc to mac? What progr…

OK, there is a somewhat simpler way, but it is less secure from hackers because it uses standard ssh port 22 and passwords. Hackers can scan for open ports and then try to guess we…

RJT thanks for putting so much effort into the response. I tried it already and it worked. I was amazed. I am on dsl and my mums on dial up I guess it must be the dial up end tha…

Hi Lurk this is quite a lot to take in. I will certainly be giving it a shot. Just downloaded sshelper. Will take a while to get a handle on the detail but will try it. thanks

Hi McMark, Glad you were successful in using VNC over SSH to control your Moms computer. Since your Mom is on a dial-up connection which is only active intermittantly (when your M…

To add one more thing to what rjt1000 wrote, VNC viewers also allow you to set a connection profile. If you use fewer colors the screen refresh over the VNC connection will also be…

Does anyone know what kind of content on the Weather Channel's site could cause Safari to crash? It happens very consistently on my wife's iBook. It is apparently something below…

No problems here. Try another user account.

You mean another user account on the iBook, right? (The Weather Channel lets you set up accounts as well.) I'll give it a shot. If it works well with another user account, what …

So how does one fix Safari's cache and/or preferences? The issue seems to be creeping into oddness with other sites' content.

msuper69, thanks a lot! I'll take a whack at it right away. Later...That seems to have done the trick, at least as far as The Weather Channel goofing things up goes. I renamed i…
