Mac Forum / General / Networking / February 2006

I am running OT and TCP/IP from 9.2.2 and a PCI ethernet card Sonic
with drivers. The machine is connected to a Motorola router which
connects to a DSL modem. The ethernet card is recognized and I have
been able to get an IP address just once when I was playing with

I'm writing this for a friend who is not computer savvy and does not use
usenet.
She is a graphic designer in a rural area. She uses a G5 with OS-X but not
latest version... (she has the cat just before tiger.) She uses Safari

I have the privilege of using my AlBook 15" on my corporate network,
but the paranoid head of telecom keeps closing stuff, so that I can no
longer access my private e-mail (outside the corporate net) via POP, as
port 110 got closed from 3 Jan.

I have two computers on my desk, one a G4 TiBook running 10.3.9 and
connected wirelessly to my 2MB DSL line via a Netgear DG834G; and the
other, which I prefer for most of my work, a spiffing PowerMac 7500
running Os9.1 and connected by ethernet wire to the same router.

I maintain two non-profit web sites that are on the same server, run by
the local library. I've been ftping files to them for two years with no
problems. (I use Transmit.) A few days ago, I couldn't upload anything.
I called the server administrator, who said a new firewall had ...

Tried to switch to Apple Mail (newest version, 2.0.5 (746/746.2)) from
Eudora, converted 20'000 e-mails with the Freeware EudoraMailboxCleaner
(worked like a charm) - because I would like the S/MIME support of Mail.
Got Mail working beforehand (sending and fetching mail trough SSL ...

I am trying to network a Sharp copier/scanner to a mac.  I have the
printer side of the copier working.  However, i cannot resolve the
issue with scanning.  Can some tell me how the directory structure
is setup on the macintosh.  For example, if i create a folder named

Next week a friend takes delivery of a Sony laptop she just purchased
(she couldn't afford an iBook and the Sony was a pretty good bargain, in
price at any rate).
She only has dialup access and wants to come over to my place to

I'm trying to hook up my PowerBook to a linksys wireless router but
to no avail. Basically, I want to find out if I have purchased the
right router for the job. I have the linksys wireless router WRT54GS
plus I have DSL cable (NTL). When I insert the CD that comes with the

With all the discussion regarding Wi-Fi security on this newsgroup and
comp.sys.mac.system, I decided that I would implement WPA-TKIP (or WEP
if WPA wouldn't work on my System). After setting it up in my Belkin
F5D7230-4 router, I was able to get a Wi-Fi connection with my TiBook ...

If I receive an email attachment and download it to my desktop, then
after making changes save it with a new name, when I try to attach the
revised file to a new email the file is not in the list of files. If I
quit Mail and restart it, then the file shows up in the list. Is there

I have a powemac 4400/200Mhz with a PCI NIC card (Sonic) on one of the
PCI slots. It is connected to a Motorola Router/WLAN unit that connects
to a ADSL modem. I have PCs hooked on to the same router. PCs work fine
and get their IP addresses automatically. But it is crazy with the ...

It seems that Eudora on the Mac does not handle S/MIME for automatic
encryption/signature like Mail does.
Is this dropped on Eudora, or is Eudora just lagging on the Mac?
If I have to switch e-mail programmes, which to choose instead? I'd like

hi there- this is a minor issue, but it's bugging me-
if i send an email from macmail with the subject line blank, then it
shows up on the receiver's end as "no subjet"- the "c" is missing-
anyone else notice this? how can it be fixed, other than entering in a

I am moving to a facility where they tell me cable modem access isn't
available, only DSL. Can I still use Apple Mail for email, or will I have to
have webmail?
