I vaguely remember seeing an Apple tech note about hooking up powerbooks to projectors - odd resolutions etc. Prolly worth searching. - Dan. ------------------------------ Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 19:23:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Wade Dunham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Protected MacTCP settings --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Select Ethernet > Click More... button. > Obtain address Manually. > Use Class C addressing; subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 > Gateway is 192.168.0.1 > > DNS information.. tricky setup.

I was able to get on line with the LCIII, using your instructions. I was going to reply using it (I'm on my G3 now) with Yahoo e-mail, but Netscape complained about an expired security certificate, and wouldn't let me in. I decided to download iCab, and got it installed. It's not working very well, though, as it just locked up. At least I'm on the right track now! Thank you for your help.

One of the reasons laptop LCDs have lower resolutions is to accomodate mirroring to external video displays. Make sure you aren't trying to mirror but are using the projector as a second display (if possible). > >What you can do is check the Monitors control panel.

Mac video cards as a rule start at 67Hz vertical sync and go up from there. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" ------------------------------ Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 17:19:53 -0500 Subject: Powerbook Resolution From: "Laurie Yalem" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Mac Network" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >Exactly what kind of G3 Powerboook do u have?

I think it is a Lombardo or Pismo- it has built in USB and Firewire. I don't think it is going to work. I am able to choose the 640x480 resolution, but my guess is it's not 60 mhz because even at that resolution it still won't show up on the projector and mirroring is not an option (won't show up in the control panel). I have an older G3 that is a Wallstreet- no USB, that will display on the projector, I guess it is at 60 mhz, but I'm guessing because that setting is not a choice, just the resolution. Any ideas? I think this newer powerbook just won't connect, let me know if I am wrong! :) Laurie Laurie Yalem Technology Coordinator The Churchill School 1035 Price School Lane St. Louis, MO 63124 314-997-4343 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.churchillschool.org ------------------------------ MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
