Re: [CGUYS] controlling IP address access
Years ago, when my kids were younger, I too needed a way to control their surfing online. What I did was I built my own firewall using an older unused computer and a free Linux software product called Smoothwall. I have since moved on to a similar product called IPCop. Whichever you choose, both allow you to place all kinds of limits on user access. Be forewarned however, there is a bit of a learning curve involved. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] HDD upgrade for thinkpad
Drive placement has a lot to do with this. I recently had to swap Laptops and put my working HD into a different style Dell.

Re: [CGUYS] controlling IP address access
I appreciate the time and effort you put into helping me resolve the parenting aspect of my problem. The circular logic of your last two sentences escapes me however. There's a difference between a lockdown and guidance. When you're around to provide encouragement and rewards for doing homework and not getting distracted by inappropriate sites, that's learning, not policing. There are commercial programs that schools use to block sites. They don't work in high schools. Students learn [they're learning something!] how to circumvent the software. If your kid doesn't figure out how to do this, friends will show how or do it for him. Instead of relying on the airport directly, can you put a router between the airport and broadband connection? Routers are cheap. A Linksys router might do what you want initially, but, of course, there are ways to get around the controls. Be glad that the problem isn't IM.

State of Delaware schools use Blue Coat, http://www.bluecoat.com/. Try their free K9 home version, http://www.k9webprotection.com/. It uses a web-based database. Unless your kids are fairly young, they'll get around it soon. Best thing about it -- it's free. Platform: Windows. FAQ claims that a Mac version will be available late in 2007--maybe. Can't OpenDNS http://www.opendns.com/ also do this [better]? Have children figured out how to get around this too? Create an OpenDNS account and try their controls. Use secure alphanumeric passwords on your router/modem/airport. Then talk to the kids and explain what you're doing, but not how to do it.

Re: [CGUYS] iTunes updates
What's the deal with iTunes updates? Every time I turn around, there's another update waiting for download. I know I regularly use 5 computers, but it seems like I've installed an update once a month on all of them. Perhaps you should try product from a less dynamic company? Perhaps one that only ships major upgrades at 5-year intervals and has no interest in innovating? Anyone interested in a Zune? I only update my iTunes when the update looks interesting (or the one time Apple forced the issue). * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] iTunes updates
My 60GB 4G iPod has been exhibiting increasingly strange behavior. I had thought the nearly 2 yo device was failing but, after viewing pages on iLounge and on the Apple forums, I am beginning to suspect that recent iTunes updates may be breaking the older units ... or maybe it's just a coincidence h? YMMV The iPhone, iPod Touch and other new iPods are driving these updates. To update the software for any of these requires new iTunes software. One update, e.g., included ringtones for the iPhone and there's another one coming this month that will allow the iPhone to access the iTunes store wirelessly (as the iPod Touch does now). There have also been reports of minor bugs in the software for other iPods that these software releases rectify. -- I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] controlling IP address access
Thanks for the link to OpenDNS. It looks very interesting. Interesting to note that one of the categories of sites blocked are sites that provide information about proxy servers. You can check URLs to see if they are blocked. I'm glad to see that Reporters Without Borders (rsf.org) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org) are not blocked (yet) even though they have a lot of information about proxey servers. They should add a category for sites by sociopaths. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] iTunes updates
...not to mention all the ancillary stuff iTunes installs. I recently had to install it again to buy a tune I needed, but after a week I just couldn't take it anymore and have uninstalled it. Maybe we should take up a collection for Tony? If a few of us kick in a couple of bucks we can get him a 20 GB hard drive. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Re: [CGUYS] controlling IP address access
Betty, Thanks for the link to OpenDNS. It looks very interesting. Jim A few weeks ago I requested DNS services that work better than the ones I'm using. Thank Fred Holmes and John de Carlo, since they suggested OpenDNS to me on the list first, recently anyway. I wouldn't use the service to block anything from children or anyone else [I don't like any kind of censorship], but am noting that the feature is available. Use it judiciously.
