i'm getting adsl on my mac at home - i'e got a couple of things i'm thinking about:
1 - the service comes with a static non nat ip address and i'm planning on hosting my own site on my mac. is anyone else doing this? i also would like to enable ftp to transfer files between work and home. i'm also thinking of letting some of my mates host their sites on the mac. 2 - will the web/ftp access be hampered if the machine is in 'sleep' mode? i'm planning on having it set to sleep when i'm away. the usage will be low, but will the machine 'wake up' every time a internet connection is made? 2 - is the firewall in mac os x 10.2.2 good enough security for an always on connection? my current internal disk is partitioned down (keeping os x separate from everything else) and i have a new 80gig internal drive coming in. would i be best advised to put all my 'valuable' stuff on the 2nd internal drive and un-mount it in the finder? will this stop a hacker seeing it?? this will be while i'm away from the machine. 3 - is it possible to share the connection from my mac with out buying a router hub? i have a windows notebook with an ethernet connection and a 2nd mac in another room. i'm sure i've seen a 'share internet connection' button in the os? 4 - regarding ftp, i've asked around on this list before and had some help with figuring out the ftp thing. in addition, i'm trying to figure out if i can use an external firewire disk as the ftp disk? i've had no joy changing the ftp directory before but would this be something i can do with the netinfo tool?? any feedback would be great!! cheers, jake -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> --------------------------------------------------------------- >The Think Different Store http://www.ThinkDifferentStore.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
