    Networking home computers

    The DSL filters need to be on every phone - have you done that? And before any splitter - or use two filters! The PPPoE setup, including user ID and password, needs to be on the router, but NOT on the computers. Computers can be set to get IP addresses automatically (DHCP), with PPPoE Off...

    MacBook VS HP LaserJet 4000/JetDirect 600N

    I was expecting you to set 192.168.3.3 as the computer's IP address in Network Prefs. Can you print out a network config page from the printer? On menu panel, find print configuration. Tell me what the IP address is. The simplified instructions I gave above were to use appletalk in the...

    MacBook VS HP LaserJet 4000/JetDirect 600N

    If you use wireless for internet, but want to use direct ethernet to the printer, you must setup the ethernet manually. Go to System Prefs > Network > Show Built-in ethernet, and configure IPv4 Manually. Enter an IP address of 192.168.3.3 (won't conflict with most wireless routers) plus subnet...

    MacBook VS HP LaserJet 4000/JetDirect 600N

    Can you please explain again - are you trying to connect directly with ethernet - not through a router/switch? Do you use wireless for internet? On the printer LCD menu, make sure you have Personality - Auto. Is there a button on the Jetdirect card? Press that to get a network config printout...

    imac g5 ip address problem

    When set to DHCP and it gets an IP address of 169.x.x.x, that means something wrong in either the router or the Mac DHCP client software. The real fix for that may be extensive like reinstalling OS X via Archive & Install. On the other hand, I quite often use a manual setup, and it works just...

You Must click +, then click More Printers, then select Epson TCP/IP. Then enter the IP address, and...

    panasonic video camera

    I just downloaded the camera manual. The camera has a firewire port. You must use a firewire cable to download video from the camera. USB 2.0 is not a substitute for firewire in this application. According to the manual, USB is provided for copying still pictures (anything on the SD memory...

    Fast internet connection, SLOW page load

    OK, thanks for the info. Because of firmware, wireless can definitely act differently than ethernet. But let's take a first guess that it is still an OS X software problem - most likely a corrupted file. Do the usual troubleshooting steps: 1. Read various online services to see if others are...

    Fast internet connection, SLOW page load

    First thing to do is run this Trojan Horse removal tool: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33696 Next possibility is poor DNS response. Add an OpenDNS server to your Network Prefs TCP/IP setup from here (bottom right of page, 208.xx.xx.xx): http://www.opendns.com/

    Use a shared printer hooked up to a pc

    First thing to know - the Epson-provided driver is for direct USB only (works for Mac-to-Mac sharing, but that's not your situation). The print system in OS X, and the network protocols, like Windows Printing and IP printing, are provided by CUPS. You need a CUPS driver for network printing...
