I have my Powerbook connected to the network in the office and am attempting to print via AppleTalk (which wasn't a problem in the past). I'm printing to a HP LaserJet 5M. Panther was able to find the printer and its driver with no problem, but everything I print comes out as lines of weird...

Nah, sorry. I've had an offer for $700 and I'm really close to going with that, unless someone wants to outbid! Thanks for your interest!

Sorting names by status is the only logical way to do it, but it's totally weird how it decides status. It actually moves the ACTIVE people around. This is annoying because when I click on a name, it may not be there by the time I have a chance to double click because it was zipped to some other...

Eh. My school is a machine. There's over 30,000 people who are using the network at any given time. It'd never happen. Thanks for the explanation, though!

Cool. Except now I don't know what to type (I'm network/server stupid). And, of course, I've created serveral neighborhoods that don't do anything, and now I can't get rid of them. ;-) I don't know the address of any of the other neighborhoods on the BU network. I wish it would search them...

Yeah. There are both subnet and router addresses there. Poop. And I don't suppose there's anyway around this?

Does anyone know how Rendezvous decides how far to look for other Rendezvous users on a network? I am at a large college in a large, school-owned apartment building. All computers are connected to the same school-wide network. Rendezvous detects my roommate in the room next door and the girls...

grammar answer: on. ;-)

I downloaded an entire album as one MP3. Then, in Quicktime, I arbitrarily split it up into tracks (it's a continuous mix of electronica, so there were no breaks in the music). After splitting it up, I renamed each track - but for some reason I couldn't update the ID3 tags, and the names didn't...

I don't quite have a full grasp on how iTunes interacts with the CDDB and what is stored on the disc and what must be discovered each time you insert the disk, but I'd like to be able to get track names for a PLAYLIST (organized as an album) - not just CDs. For instance, I downloaded a folder of...

So I recently downloaded the Adobe InDesign trail form the Adobe website. Everything installed without incident, but when I open the application I get a message that says: "Failed to initialize privilege (438) for Adobe InDesign." The application won't open. Then, I notice that when I launched...

You, my friend, are a genius. A genius! ;-) Thanks a million, Jordan

So the IMAP server I use through school has a horde or invisible directories within the directory holding my inbox (.pinerec, .msgrec, etc). While using Entourage, I do not see them because the software knows to hide them, but Mail.app displays them. I would like to start using Mail.app again...

I know a few UNIX commands and I know the VERY basics of how file sharing, FTP, Telnet, and networking in general work. However, I'm looking for a GOOD newbie guide online that will give me a general education about my network. Like, what's a packet? How does sniffing them help? How in the world...

My IE preferences are not saving after a logout or a restart. For instance, after a reboot or a logout, the default homepage is reset to Apple's Netscape page. Anyone having this problem? Jordan

So for a year and a half I heard tales of other Boston University students sharing files over the BU network with other users by accessing the Network Neighborhood. I knew that this kind of access wasn't possible on my Mac. Now, though, OS X brags that it can connect to virtually any kind of...

Thanks a million, guys.

I know I am likely playing with things I should because I have very little knowledge of UNIX. but there's no better way to learn then by experimenting, right? So my school network gives me a static IP. So I could access files from friends' computers, etc, I turned on FTP access and I go in...
