Ever since upgrading to 10.3 (and 10.3.1) my ability to easily share
files between my old PC and my macs (an imac and an ibook) has had problems.
Right now the main problem is that the mac can't see the windows files
at all.  When I open the browser window, click on Network, I see ...

I know that it's possible to run a Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection
client on Mac OS X to make a connection with a Windows XP.

I want to transfer all the files (a couple of gig) on a OS 8.6 machine
to a new OS X machine, I figured the simplest and fastest way would be

Hello, all,
I'm getting conflicting suggestions on how to do something. Would
appreciate guidance.
I have 2 Macs, a G4 running 9.0.4 and a 17" iMac running 10.2.x

A relative of mine is have a problem with a Mac network that they are
running at her office. There are four or five G3's running OS 9 in the
network, and anytime that they attempt to share files, drives, etc.
they get a prompt asking for the password that they no longer have.

I have an Ibook linked to an Airport Extreme Base station which is
attached to a cable modem. The cable modem is connected to the WAN
connection of the Airport Extreme and the Ibook internet connection
works fine.

Help I recently upgraded my Wifes PB to OS 10.2.4 from 9.xx and now I

I'm ready to sell off my PC and get another G3-

My primary motivation to get to Panther was its inclusion of support
for WiFi Protected Access (WPA) security for 802.11 networks (assuming

knows how to fix this, I'd sure like to know since I find it incredibly

Hey there,
this is my scenario: I'm a local ISP in northern germany. One of my
costumers is connected with a 2MBit leased line to the internet "over
me". He has several Mac-Clients at his office (from OS9.x to 10.3). He

I have been informed by my ISP (SBC) that files I send over their DSL
connection can be no larger than 10 MB. Although the limit isn't
mentioned in their TOS AFAIK, I assume they're trying to avoid trouble
with the RIAA by capping file transfers at that size.

I'm just wondering if anybody can help me out here.
I have a PowerMac 7300 running MacOS 8.6 and a PC running Windows 2000
Professional.  What I want to do is connect them directly to each other so
I can transfer files between them.  It just so happens that the PC has an
