Safari
Hi Is anyone else having issues with Safari? It constantly tells me that the server can not be found and after a period or seven clicks on links and punches on the return key it eventually attempts loading pages. It usually displays page fine but all this week it's been touchy. Any ideas as to what it's caused by? I recently put 10.2.8 on but it couldn't be that could it? Regards Christian

Re: internet bluetooth to handheld
Doug, it's possible, but messy. you will need to jump through quite a few hoops to jig it up. I hope you're running OS X. Panther will make it easier. Anyway, here is what I have found that may help: one of the tips is talking about PC -mac bluetooth internet sharing but it can also be applied to palms/mobiles. The other hint is also relevant. They are both from macosxhints.com - an extremely informative website for this kind of stuff. tip 1: A better way to connect Macs to a PC's shared Bluetooth Fri, Oct 24 '03 at 10:56AM I saw this hint you have about sharing a PC's Internet with a Mac over Bluetooth. That's great, but it involves too much configuration and a terminal window login every time. Here's an alternative that just works, mainly for owners of Symbian based phones. The PC Suite software supplied with those phones has a server that hosts such connections over Bluetooth (and also IR and cables) for the phones, but it also works with other devices, like Palms and Macs. To make it work, do the following: On the PC: Right click on the mRouter tray icon and make sure Bluetooth serial ports are enabled. On the Mac: Make a new Bluetooth serial port, called something like Bluetooth-mRouter. Pair it with the Bluetooth Serial Port service on your host PC. Then set it to Outgoing and RS232 mode. Then load up the Network prefs panel, and configure the new port. Make sure it's using PPP. Under PPP options, you can safely deselect Disconnect if idle. Under Modem, select Null Modem 115200 and deselect Wait for dial tone. Now use the Internet Connect menu, select the port you just made, and then select Connect. Hey presto, Internet sharing over Bluetooth. The only limit seems to be that although mRouter can handle up to 46bps, the Mac Null Modem driver is capped at 115200, so if anyone wants to make a better Null Modem driver, please respond. Finally, non-Symbian phone owners can download the PC Suite freely from Nokia or SonyEricsson, too. Install them and then remove everything except for the mRouter executable from their startup menu, and they're good to go. Tip 2 is looong but describes what you want to do exactly. I would recommend saving a copy of this email 'cos you're gonna need to use terminal commands. Good luck! Share an internet connection with a Bluetooth device Sun, Nov 3 '02 at 09:22AM from: kf6gpe While Bluetooth is well supported in Mac OS X and many handheld computing devices, it's not immediately obvious how you can configure Mac OS X to provide Internet Sharing to Bluetooth-enabled handheld devices. This work builds on this hint , which enables internet sharing at startup. Now we'll show how to configure a Mac OS X 10.2 system to act as a Bluetooth Internet access point for Palm Powered handhelds (and, presumably, other devices) that can use the Bluetooth Serial Profile to establish a PPP connection. [Editor's note: This is a somewhat long and involved hint, and I have not tested it (as I don't have any Bluetooth devices). If you try it, please post a comment with your experiences and any corrections to what are probably my editing errors!] Configuration In developing this procedure, I used the following hardware: Power Macintosh G4 running Mac OS X 10.2 Macintosh OS X compatible Bluetooth adapter Palm Powered handheld (Clie NR 70V/U) Palm compatible Bluetooth card (Sony PEGA-MSB1) You will need administrator privileges on your Mac OS X computer. You should be moderately comfortable using Terminal and your favorite text editor (such as vi ,pico , or emacs to edit and change system files. You will also need an IP address for your Palm Powered handheld. Typically, you can allocate one from either the 10.0.1 or the 192.168.1 subnets. Be sure that the IP address you select is not taken by another host on your local area network. I've tested these instructions on a Power Macintosh G4 desktop with a dedicated ethernet connection and a Macintosh PowerBook G4 with an Airport connection. In both configurations the system operated as described. Theory of Operation Mac OS X provides Internet Routing functionality that lets Mac OS X route network packets between any two interfaces, such as the Ethernet and an Airport card. Fortunately, Mac OS X also includes pppd, a PPP server that can provide an Internet connection over a serial link. Bluetooth, on the other hand, defines a series of connection types called profiles . One profile, the Serial Device Profile, is a mode that emulates a serial cable between two Bluetooth-enabled devices. By using Mac OS X's Internet Routing with a PPP server over Bluetooth, a Mac OS X host can share its Internet connection with a Bluetooth-enabled device. The trick is to configure Mac OS X to use PPP over Bluetooth to listen for an incoming connection from the Bluetooth enabled device, and then use Bluetooth on the device to connect to the PPP server running on the Mac OS
Re: Dock problem
I came across this one with a friend a while back. drove me absolutely nuts. While this may not be the cause, I suggest you check system preferencesdeskop and turn off change picture every xxx ie. Just select one picture to remain as your desktop. Then restart. What I found was that if you set desktop pictures to change, but the folder which you asked it to change pictures from was empty/only and other folders in it, it went spac, resulting in multiple unexpected quits of the dock and eventually the dock just disappears. So if you make sure the folder has only pictures in it it should also be ok, though I recommend just setting it to one picture to check first. Check it out. After I did the above, problem disappeared completely! Hope this helps. If you are still having problems/don't understand what I just described, email me back!

I don=B9t have auto show/hide on. I just upgraded to Panther and it is still happening. I searched the archives and saw another reference to a similar problem. It suggested removing the file: com.apple.dockfixup.plist from the preference list. I tried this but the problem persists. There appears to be another dock preference: com.apple.dock.plist in the preferences folder. I just noticed, when I undertook a search, that there is now a file called: Dock.crash.log that has been modified today. I suppose this is because the dock is crashing :) Thanks in advance for any help. Regards Adam Lippiatt -- if in doubt, cut it out - Old surgeon's adage
wamug mail - multiple repeats
Hello all, What's happening with the WAMUG mailing list? I collected my mail on Friday afternoon and noticed that some messages were repeats but didn't think too much about it. I didn't check back until just now (Sunday afternoon) and there were 104 WAMUG messages - since this seemed somewhat excessive, I reviewed the list and there only seemed to be 30 actual messages - the rest were repeats, including 2 messages with 8 copies, 3 messages with 7 copies etc. The actual duplication was actually worse since I recognised some of the messages as duplicates of ones I had received on Friday (and possibly earlier) Is this further manifestation of the bigpond mail debacle or problems with the WAMUG list? (I have received duplicates of non WAMUG email but very few compared to the WAMUG deluge). Is everyone experiencing this, just bigpond customers (or just me!). Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Hello, I've been trying to find the new wamug archives, and don't have the link on this machine (the g3's a bit crooky in the head at the moment and is being fixed- we hope). Too much relying on the 'good' machine-it's got all our favourites. There doesn't seem to be a link on the webpage to the new bits. Could some one please forward it to us, thanks! Vicki
