It certainly didn't happen in 30 seconds for me - I waited patiently for at
least a couple of minutes, even went away and did something else. I later
thought that perhaps the "get info" allow sharing on the HD wasn't effective
without a restart. But perhaps it was just some strange glitch in my
computers.

Yes :-). I just wondered if there was something I had missed in the prefs or

You don't have to restart, but you may need to wait a few moments for the
AppleTalk network to identify all the machines on the network. Usually, this
will happen in about 30 seconds.

If you have the schedule set to fetch mail at set times and tick the box
"return to previous state" it will dial in and fetch the mail and then
disconnect.

address autocomplete doesn't work on 2nd monitor

2001-09-07 Thread Peter Levy

Hi:

I have just added a second monitor to my G3 Pismo Powerbook, and when I
create a message on the monitor 2, (I have defined the PB monitor as monitor
2) address autocomplete does not work. If I drag the message over to monitor
1, it works fine.

Does anybody know what this is about?

Re: Checking mail on connection

2001-09-07 Thread Paul Berkowitz

Jan, it could be done, but it would be little complicated. You'd need a
schedule running an AppleScript.

It would run every minute: while you're not connected, its script would just
check (via "Network Setup Scripting" application that comes with every Mac
but is awkward to script) if you were connected to the Internet or not. As
soon as it detected you were online (on average 30 seconds after you
connect, never more than a minute), it would execute Send & Receive Schedule
immediately, which would detect that you were now connected would run and
reset its 10-minute schedule from that point on. The script would then shift
modes. It would still run every minute, also checking to see if you were
connected, but would do nothing if you were.  As soon as it detected you
were not connected, it would shift modes again and start looking out to see
when you got connected again.

Now isn't it easier just to press command-M as soon as you connect to the
internet? It's true that the system above would work even with Entourage in
the background, of course, whereas to do cmd-M or Run Schedule you do have
to bring E to the front first.

Only if I'm willing to wait for as much as 10 minutes when it connects -
what I'd like it to do (which I happened to notice is what Eudora does, when
I was using it for a few days), is recognize that a connection has just been
established and check the mail immediately.

Re: Checking mail on connection

2001-09-07 Thread Paul Berkowitz

No, there's no way to do that. (I was starting to reply earlier, but had a
big computer crash.)  You'd have to have an applescript placed in something
called OSA menu which you could get, or as an applet in Apple menu or on
your desktop, which would on clicking it first start up Remote Access , then
tell Entourage to check mail, and use that instead of your usual way of
connecting via the RA panel.

But really it's not worth the trouble. As soon as you connect to the
internet, click Entourage to the front and press command-M.

The timed intervals with "only if connected" should do it.

Add Occurrence of “At Startup” and check off the box “Only when connected”

> What¹s the difference between a regular Ethernet cable and a Crossover cable?

A crossover cable has some of the leads switched, so that no hub is needed
to make that switch. You can generally connect two Ethernet devices directly
with a crossover cable, obviating the hub. The only reason this is uncommon
is that most networks, almost by definition, include more than two devices.

Hope that helps.
