What kind of connection do you have? (ie: DSL, Cable, T1, etc.) Are you sure that you are an "always" on service? I'm assuming you do however. Since this is the route acting up, you should probably talk to your ISP and/or the manufacturer of the router. (incidentally, I had a similar issue...

It sounds like there might be a log more going on here... First of all, are you sure you need a "real" IP address? The reason I ask is that my Mac OS X box has been running on the address 192.168.0.4 for about 2 months now with no noticable differences in opperation (with a Linux box - which...

That seems like a lot to go through. How about this: sudo passwd [type your password at the prompt] [and type a password for root at the prompts] <done> I seem to remember that it really was that easy. Since 'sudo' allows you to run commands as root anyway, you can just use sudo...

To try and help out with what that error message means... here's my take on it. It sounds like the normal Classic.app runs as root, regardless of who launches it. I'd never thought about it before, but this makes sense to me (since it needs to be able to affect any file it wants to). When...

There are a couple of other (shareware, I think) CD players out there for OS X, you might try those and see how they do. I'm surprised that you've had difficulty since iTunes has been the most skip-free of anything I've used recently for playing most music (ie: CD and/or mp3). It might also...

Have you tried using ping to see if you can hit the other Macs with something other than Appletalk? Also, it might be worth it to try and ping the router itself and other things nearby on the network (ie: DNS servers, mail server, etc.). When you do this, try using IP addresses and domain...

I figure this is probably not the issue, but it might be worth mentioning... Did you check the CD for scratches? The reason I ask is because that is exactly the issue that occured with my direct from Apple CD that I got the day it was released. I played with it for a month to get it to...

I tend to agree that having seperate partitions is kind of nice sometimes. On the other hand it can get difficult to predict how much space you'll need. I would like to do something similar - have a bare bones OS 9 for Classic and a tricked out one for dual boot use, which would be easier to...

I may be missing something here, but why the 640+1+current system folder on the OS 9 drive? If you're thinking having that space for the virtual memory swap file, I would strongly suggest against cutting it that close. If you copy anything to the drive at all extra, you will start getting...

If you just need to be able to read or copy files off the drive, you should be able to boot off a CD, or anther partition (if you set one up).

It's worth mentioning also that there is a *big* difference between file:// and http:// if you are doing web development. When you use file:// the OS is using the filesystem to display the pages, not the web server. Even if you have apache running, it will *not* process the files. Usually...

Hmm... I don't think I'm seeing what you're describing. When I clicked on the link you have in your message, I get the normal Apache test page (comes with a new installation). I wonder if there is a difference between using your real IP and the localhost one (127.0.0.1) - I can't imagine why...

How did you do the copy? (ie: as root in OS X finder, using the command line or in the OS 9 finder)

As far as I can tell by poking around the UNIX-ish files floating around the filesystem, it seems like you should be able to do it as long as you edit the proper files pointing to where the boot partitions are. Unfortunatly, most of my experiance lies with Linux, which uses a different naming...

Holding down option should at least let you get back to you OS 9 install... although I don't know of a way to "fix" a broken OS X install from the OS 9 finder... I'd love to hear if anyone has any ideas on how to do that.

I tend to agree with the two replies, but they don't seem to address the questions in the original post... let me see if I can sum up: The original poster would like to allow other people access to the computer *without* having to log out and in all the time - only one user would ever be logged...

I had a similar issue... after the update *everything* was slower. I even rebooted a couple of times to no avail. Finally, I shutdown the machine, let it sit for a minute, and then brought it back up. It's been blazingly fast (by comparison, its a beige G3) since. Don't know if that would...

Are all the machines running the same version of OS X? That error message looks suspiciously similar to one that I got when I was trying to use ssh between a RedHat Linux 7.1 installation and 10.0.4 - it went away when I upgraded to 10.1, however. I managed to fix the issue by using: ssh -1...

If you read the top of the .hosts file in the /etc directory, I believe there is a comment about the system not actually using the files. They are there for compatability if you boot into single user mode only. For everything else, lookupd (and hence, NetInfo) is used. If I remember right...
