[MacGroup] Windows The Outside World

2008-02-04 Thread Profile
Much to my chagrin I am going to try loading the Windoze on my  
Macbook, but before I do I have one question that I need answered.


When in Windoze I don't want any contact with the outside world, only  
the one program I am working on.  If I turn OFF airport on the Mac  
side before I boot to Windoze (using Boot Camp) will that keep me from  
being connected via wireless connection once I boot into Windoze?


If not, what is it I need to turn off in Windoze?  Is there an icon in  
the header like we have with the Mac wireless?  I won't need Windoze  
any longer once I get the program that is going to be given to me  
rewritten to a database for the Mac so I don't need to worry about  
updates, patches and viruses software to keep me safe if I have no  
contact with the outside world and once done delete it all.


Thanks so much for your help.

John

[MacGroup] networked windows PCs

2008-02-04 Thread b3studios
I'm having some issues with Leopard and networked PCs.
While at work, when I first installed Leopard, I could always see the  
shared networked Windows PCs in the Finder side bar. Connecting and  
sharing files was simple.
Now, when I'm at work, they don't show up in the sidebar. I can print  
to networked printers just fine, and access the internet, but no PCs  
are visible in the sidebar.

I haven't changed any settings, and Firewall is set to allow all  
incoming connections.

If I restart my macbook, then most of the time the 3 shared PCs show  
up and I can connect to them.
But, if I don't connect to them right away and stay connected, they  
seem to disappear after a while, necessitating another restart.

Any suggestions?

John,

Turning off your wireless connection (Airport) will indeed insulate  
you from the wide world of the Internet, assuming that you have no  
other wired connection. It will also keep you from accessing any local  
network devices -- such as other computers on your network, routers,  
network printers, etc.

Re: [MacGroup] Leopard Kernel Panic

2008-02-04 Thread Jonathan Fletcher
What I do (YMMV):

I buy the cheapest that says it will work, usually starting at  
www.dealram.com, making sure they guarantee it (most do), and then  
return it if it doesn't work.

Most suppliers have lifetime warrantees, so call where you ordered it  
and put a little firmness in your voice and ask for a replacement.  
All the manufacturers pretty much get their chips from the same few  
factories, so there is not a lot of difference as long as they carry  
the same spec. Crucial, Kingston, 18004memory, etc. all are reputable  
providers of memory to the world, but sometimes a chip is just a  
little off and doesn't get caught in testing. The few times in the  
last two decades that I have had problems with RAM I have had no  
trouble getting the provider to replace it, whoever it was.

I'm in a hotel room right now. There is no wireless connection but there
is a dsl or cable modem. The problem is the box is next to the bed, not
near a desk so it makes it inconvenient to do any work.

Is there a gizmo of any kind that one could plug into a dsl or cable
modem to broadcast a wireless signal?

Thanks.

Harry

I have a USB Zip drive that might still work.


He has been told that either Toast PRO will needed, or a version

I don't know why that would be true. Just copy the files to the hard  
drive and burn them with the Finder.

I carry a 20-foot ethernet cable on trips. Low-tech but I've beaten  
many badly-wired hotel rooms with it.

Many of you replied off list and again, I thank you. I forwarded all the
replies to my friend, Mark, and I assume he will contact one of you who
offered help.

What a great bunch of folks you are.

Re: [MacGroup] wireless where there is no wireless

2008-02-04 Thread Harry Jacobson-Beyer
Many of you have replied and I thank you.

I want to clarify what I am hoping to find out there.

I don't want to carry a normal sized router nor do I want to have to go
through the machinations of setting up a normal routher. What I really
am hoping is out there is something small that you plug into the
ethernet port of the dsl/cable box (in the port where you plug in your
ethernet cable that connects to the computer) that will then send out a
wireless signal. If there isn't such a gadget, there ought to be!

Thanks.

Harry,

You have described the Airport Express.  Plug it into an electrical  
outlet, run the ethernet cable from the room plug into the bottom of  
the express and you now are wireless.  It is about the size of a pack  
of cigarettes.
