A few simple questions

Hi, the company I work for will soon be doing some work with OS X server and in an effort to familiarise myself with the software I have set it up at my home on an old blue and white G3 (sadly the best hardware I have to spare right now).
I would like to configure the server to share the internet, serve web pages and an FTP server and a few other basic tasks, but I keep running into trouble, and would appreciate some feedback on these simple questions. My setup is as follows:
Sympatico connection via ethernet DSL modem (server connects via PPPoE)
2nd NIC on server connected to a 5 port switch
Powermac G5 and Windows XP workstations (currently only testing with XP box)
I have been unable to get the server to share the internet connection, the DHCP server does not seem to be serving IPs (although if I map a static address it works) but either way I cannot browse.
My questions are:
Will this setup work with the server connecting via PPPoE or does it require a static IP from my ISP?
Do I have to configure DNS or can I just enter my ISP's DNS IPs instead?
Is there anyway to return the server configuration to default settings? I tried using Gateway Setup Assistant which didn't work, and I'm worried that it's dropped in some settings I'm not aware of.
I've done some reading on here and while I understand it's easier to let a $50 Dlink router handle NAT I'd like to understand this so I can better advise my client.
Many thanks in advance,
Toby

It is entirely possible to run what you describe, but it's hard to tell what state it's in now (and therefore what changes are needed to make it work).
In general, the steps you should follow are:
1) Get the public network side working so the server can talk to the outside world.
2) Get the private network working between the server and the clients.
3) Run gateway assistant, or manually configure the various parts using Server Admin.
The system shouldn't care whether you're using PPPoE, DHCP, static addresses, or even dialup for the public link, so that's not an issue, and neither should DNS.
Other things to check include the firewall on the server (turn it off during this setup to make sure it's not just a firewall configuration issue).
Also, make sure you're using different subnets on the public and private networks, e.g. don't try to have the server hand out public IP addresses to the clients - that won't work.
Check that your basic network connectivity (e.g. ping) works between the various systems on the network. if the clients can't ping the gateway system then they're not going to go anywhere.

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

Few simple questions from newbie

I'm new to Java, but i've worked a lot with action script... it didn't help a lot :) Here are my few beginner questions:
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and other things mean in front of the class name?
How can i call variables from another classes: if i have one class that does one thing and stores the result in a variable, how can i use that variable from a different class?
How can i call the input window to enter the value for variable? I've tried with importing "io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend" thing, but i still cant call the input window?

I came to Java from ActionScript too, and I must say having ActionScript as your first programming language does NOT make it easy to learn other languages. I was incredibly lost when starting with Java.
What does: public, static, abstract, void... and
other things mean in front of the class name?You'll find all that in the Java Tutorial
How can i call variables from another classes: if i
have one class that does one thing and stores the
result in a variable, how can i use that variable
from a different class?To use the variable from another class, you need to make a call to the class. Let's say you're in ClassB; you would make a call to a ClassA variable by doing something such as:
ClassA.myVar.myMethod();
How can i call the input window to enter the value
for variable? I've tried with importing
"io.inputstream" library, and used the "extend"

Few simple questions

Hi, i'm on Windows 10 Technical Preview right now, and i'm working with Modern Skype from store, i'm trying to understand few things:
Is there a way to send files via drag n drop
Is there a way to display my contact list on lest, instead of gigantiy useless column with avatar?
Or there there a way to see more contacts on top row which appears when i press right mouse button?
Is there a way to edit or delete your messages?
Thx!

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
NB: Skype for modern Windows has not been optimized yet for Windows 10 Technical Preview version (neither has Skype for Windows desktop) so you might encounter some quirky behaviour or even crashes.
Here's a great article that helps you to get started with using Skype on modern Windows: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12110/finding-your-way-around-skype-skype-for-modern-windows
It also contains links to further articles explaining IM usage which should answer your last question.

None of these three is possible in Skype 3.1 for moden Windows, I'm afraid.
Also you might want to have a look at trying out Skype for Windows desktop as it offers support for drag and drop, a contact and a longer conversation list: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12162/how-do-i-get-the-desktop-version-of-skype-windows-8-or-abov...

5230 - a few simple questions

Hi,
I've been looking at buying the Nokia 5230 and I've got a few questions I wouldn't mind some help with. Mainly to do with the sat nav function.
1. Is SAT NAV built into the phone. In other words, can I turn my phone on sit in my car and use it as a traditional sat nav system without having to buy any additional accessories. (except a phone mount). I'm mainly referring to not having to buy a GPS receiver type thing.
2. If yes to above, are they any charges I would incur when using the SAT NAV function? (monthly fee, usage charges etc,etc)
3. A non SAT NAV question - can it sync with outlook for contacts and diary?
Thanks in advance

Yes the phone comes with a SatNav application, some time back Nokia announced free voice navigation with Ovi maps 3.03 and 5230 and is compatible to it, you can download it from Nokia website and install it. This version of Ovi maps doesnot come out of the box for some devices. Charges for Navigation depends upon your data plan if used with A-gps which uses Network provider's GPRS connection for quicker GPS fix, you can also get a GPS fix without A-gps by relying only on the inbuilt GPS receiver which may take time to get a fix but not very longer. You can use the device very well for SatNav without need to buy a seperate gps receiver. Yes it does synchronise with outlook, with Nokia PC suite you can sync your PIM with outlook.

A few simple questions, before I purchase an Ipod

These shouldn't be too hard to answer, considering all the other questions you guys get.
I just need to know a few things before I am willing to purchase a Nano.
1. Once I download iTunes, can I upload my own Cds? And thus move songs from my Cds to my ipod?
2. Is it possible delete songs off the ipod, once you have uploaded them?
3. I have about 300 songs on my current audio player. (Roxio; Audio Central) Will I be able to upload these to my ipod?
I think that's all for now, thanks for all your help.
Windows 2000 I don't yet own an iPod.

Thanks for the reply. I think it will be okay if I can't add those songs, maybe I'll burn the most important ones to a cd, then upload them.
Thanks again for all your help.

A few simple questions i need help on please

i have an ipod mini. my computer crashed and i have a new computer. is there a way to upload my songs and lists to the computer? i have itunes 7.0.
second question. is there a way to upload only one or two songs to an ipod mini that is already loaded with songs, without uploading all the songs again. is the current info automatically overwritten so that i would end up with only the two songs on the ipod after uploading?
thanks in advance.
bob

is there a way to upload my songs and lists to the computer?
Maybe. You say your old computer crashed. Does that mean it doesn't run at all? Does it mean it hangs during the boot-up process? Does it mean the hard drive came to a crashing screeching halt? Without knowing more about the death of the old computer none of us can know whether the data is recoverable or not.
OTOH, you have at least part of your music data on your iPod. So with the help of third party software (check out your favorite download site) you'll be able to transfer your iPod's music and playlists to the new computer. If the iPod contains your entire music collection you are pretty much good to go.
Can you add only a couple songs to your iPod? Sure, after connecting it to your new computer you'll be told it is synced to another computer and asked if you want to sync it to this new one. Select cancel - no you don't want to sync it to the new one. After the iPod appears in iTunes select it and in the iPod preferences select manually manage. This will let you manually add or delete songs.

Uc520 - few simple questions

hi,
- I can,t find in CCA how to tell the system after 3 rings send the person to the voicemail.
- where do I say the light on a phone, dim it or shut it after 30 seconds. when I use my 7931 the light stays on for a long time. anyway to tell it to shut down the lcd light after 30 or 60 seconds?
I have the latest package and the latest CCA installed.
one last question, I have a sip trunk, when I call outside it works but it takes a long time before I can actually see sip debugs appear on my console. so I guess it takes a long time in UC520. any place where I can tell UC520 to speed up a bit when calling outside local numbers?
it can take 10 or so seconds before I can actually see debug logs on console when I hit dial on the phone. not sure what it,s taking so much time. again it works I can place multiple calls but they just take time to start.
thanks.

A few simple questions about Apple TV

I have a bunch of TV shows/movies/music I've downloaded in iTunes on my iMac. I would like to watch all that stuff onto my TV. Can I do that with Apple TV? Will it connect wirelessly to my iMac, or will I have to download all this stuff again? Also, if going forward I download new content on either device, will they sync back-and-fourth? Finally, how easy is the setup? Thanks much!

yes this is what the appletv is for

it can connecte wirelessly to your existing itunes library. you won't have to redownload the content.
Also, if going forward I download new content on either device, will they sync back-and-fourth? Finally, how easy is the setup? Thanks much!
any content purchased on the appletv will auto-sync back to your itunes library.

Few simple question

1. who is the owner of dual ..i guess system
2. why cant we perform dml on dual
3. how can we add elements to plsql table
is this the only way?
DECLARE
TYPE color_tab_type IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30)
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
color_tab color_tab_type;
BEGIN
color_tab(3845) := 'SEAFOAM GREEN';
color_tab(702) := 'CERULEAN BLUE';
-- color_tab.DELETE(3845);
dbms_output.put_line(color_tab(3845));
END;
Regards,
AAK.

> 1. who is the owner of dual ..i guess system
2. why cant we perform dml on dual
I'm always amazed by this obsession (?) with DUAL with some... what is the deal?
Why not instead with ask about the potential issue of real data dictionary problems by updating tables JOB$ or OBJ$ instead of table DUAL?
And if you remark "oh, but those tables are data dictionary tables.. then yeah.. damn right they are. Just like like DUAL.
Mucking around with DUAL in awayway is as bad as mucking around with any other data dictionary table.

Pretty simple question regarding headphones.

Hey everybody. I want one of the new shuffles as a secondary iPod, however, I just got a new pair of Bose in-ears and there's no way I'm letting them go to waste. I guess I have a few simple questions anyone who already has a new shuffle can easily answer:
1. Does playback immediately start upon switching the switch to either shuffle or straight through? and
2. Can you plug in the apple headphones, adjust the volume to an acceptable level, select a playlist, etc., then switch out to third party headphones to listen?
As for an adapter, there's no way I'm spending money on accessories for an $80 mp3 player. Sorry Apple...

No

Yes
Basically, when you unplug the apple headphones, or even turn it off after you've set what you want it'll keep your 'settings' but stop playing.
When you plug in your own headphones, you just need to switch it off and on again to continue playing where you left off.
Awkward, but possible. Btw, the new shuffle audio quality and playlist handling is definitely an improvement over the 2nd gen shuffle. Basically the player is better all round.
It's just the lack of a headphone adapter that lets it down.

Before upgrading iPhone to 3.0 beta a few basic questions!

We have a few apps up in the store, and I want to upgrade them, so I suppose I need to upgrade my iPhone now to the beta 3.0 firmware.
Before doing so, I'd like to ask those who have gone before me a few simple questions.
(1) I don't have anything on my iPhone that is earth-shatteringly important. But if I need to, can I restore to OS 2 and get my old email settings and apps back?
(2) What does updating to the beta 3.0 firmware really mean? Will I get to preview all the core OS 3.0 apps, including the search features, new Camera, Mail and Safari apps, etc.? If so, that sounds like fun.
(3) What happens when I synch with iTunes while the beta 3.0 firmware is installed? Will normal synch still work?
Thanks for any tips or advice on this. I can't afford to get another iPhone device just to maintain my current apps.

Vibe Z2 Pro - Few newby questions

Hello, as a newby, I have a few simple questions about Z2 Pro and Vibe UI:
(a) the main issue I have with Vibe UI on this phone is that the 4-apps-per-row look very huge, can you cange it to 5 apps per row with some settings? that would be really useful, as most other big phones are 5 apps per row.
(b) can I make a guest mode? I think I saw with some other phones, that you can make a guest mode, so that your little cousens don't see all your apps that they don't need to see. I know there is secure mode but that is sothing else.
(c) can you use Z2 Pro to make the payments with the phone? I know it has the NTF, but don't you need a finger print scanner for that?
(d) in the camera settings, when I tested the phone, I could not choose 1:1 for the front camera, only for the selfie camera? Is that really so? I would not see why not.
(e) in the camera settings, I can choose between 3:4 and 16:9 but I somehow could not find the settings for image resolution. what do I do if I want low resolution photos or very high resolutio photos?
(f) I assume, you can't charge the phone wirelessly, that would be too much to ask for
Thanks guys.

Hi, ileyb
Unfortunately I don't know, what is the "Security Zone" & will be very grateful if you explain a bit about this feature or provide an appropriate link.
In order to switch to "stock android", you have to do the next:
1) Go to Settings > About phone > Version information, tap 7 times on "Software version number". This will unlock "Developer options" settings section.
2) Go to Settings > Developer options > Switch System UI Style and enjoy,

Simple question about flex and AS 3.0

Hi, this might sound like a simple question so I apologize...
I have both a copy of flex 2 and 3, and i want to simply code in AS
3.0 not mxml. I referred to the help of both flex 2 and 3, and all
i could come up with is "you can add dynamic behavior to your
documents using actionscript", which means to me, you only write
your functions in AS and create instances with mxml (...ugh).
personally, i find mxml to be ugly (mainly because it looks like
html to me), and i'd rather not use it. coming from programming in
an IDE in Java, it seems like it would be nicer to have something
similar, all the while having the power and cool features of flash.
I'm not fully educated in this matter so i understand that i could
be totally wrong.
i mean, if i have to code in mxml, i will. i'm a web
programmer for a living, and if a more experience programmer said
something like "if you don't code mxml in flex, you'll never get a
job coding in flex", i would trust the advice, and learn the ugly
code. :)
yes, i do have Flash cs3, it's great but it seems like a pain
to me the way you organize classes.... i've only seen a few
tutorials, ones that explain how you cannot simply import a custom
class, you have tell your movie to link to it, put it in the same
directory, or manually name the package, it's sort of confusing.
my main point here is that i'm very eager to start building
apps in straight AS 3.0 instead of using flash cs3 (for some
projects), and it would be cool to get some help or be pointed in
the right direction.
to simplify:
can i write AS 3.0 and only as 3.0 in flex 2 or 3? how? can
you link me to a tutorial? any advise?
thanks!

Hey William, thanks for the post. It's a great coincidence
because I'm reading that book as well. I'm about half way through
it, and I love it. I installed mxmlc on my linux box and am writing
pure AS 3 apps. I think that's the way to go, though I know it's
not for everybody.
My problem with mxml is that it has a weird syntax for
function calls, and it's not as 'intuitive' for a person like me,
who came from C++ and Java programming in the past. I like writing
programs in the C++ and Java style syntax, and since so many other
languages use a similar syntax, I don't see any reason to learn the
nuances of mxml, unless I was getting paid to do it. As far as I
can tell there is no benefit.
I hate using Flash to write flash apps as well, I feel like
they become messy and confusing, especially when trying to write an
OOP application. I only use it if I want to move an object in a
very specific way and can't do it with the Tween methods.
