Dropped connection when using Desktop and laptop
I have a Motorala cable modem connected to a Linksys 10/100 5-port Work Group Switch. I have my desktop connected to this switch and have a WRT5G Wireless Router connected also. The problem is that when my lap top is connected to the internet, the desktop does not connect and vice versa. When the desktop is connected, the laptop shows that there is a wireless connection, but the browser comes up saying no connection. Any advice?
Why exactly do you have this setup? The normal setup would be cable modem connecting to router. Computers (wired and wireless) connecting to router.
How exactly do you "connect" your desktop or laptop to the internet? What do you do to get a connection?
What you have is two devices connected directly the modem and thus your ISP. Unless the modem is actually a modem/router this won't work if your ISP does not allow more then 1 internet connection at a time.
I suspect this slightly setup is the actual problem. If you use the desktop, the desktop gets the IP address from the ISP. Now the desktop is using internet connection through the modem. Thus, your router cannot connect to the internet nor your laptop.
When your router connects to the internet it gets the IP address from the ISP. Again, the desktop cannot get an IP address anymore because the internet connection is already used.
The normal setup is that the internet port of your router is connected to the modem. The purpose of a router like the WRT is to share a single internet connection among several computers - wired and wireless.
Therefore I would suggest you connect the internet port of the WRT to the modem directly and hook up the desktop to a LAN port of the WRT. You can also connect the switch to a LAN port. Now desktop and laptop share the internet connection established by the WRT.

Browser loads text on page but not full graphics - some - sometimes; sometimes none. I use same search engine on both desktop and laptop. I've tried disabling add-ons and extensions but it makes no difference. As I didn't know which version of Shockwave Flash to install I've installed both!!!
Thanks for this. I could not select Shockwave Flash 9.0.45.0 - but downloaded the uninstaller from Adobe which removed the newer Flash 11 version. I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode and yes, Flash 9 was still there. I ran the uninstaller again - after closing Firefox. It said that Flash was removed however when I reopened Firefox in Safe Mode - Flash 9 was still there - disabled - but there. Nothing appears in the Control Panel/Programs list. So how do I uninstall this older version?
Graphics problem continues in Safe Mode.
After reading: Flash 9.0 r28 and below: Your Windows list of installed programs may have an entry for "Adobe Flash Player ActiveX" but this will only remove the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and AOL. To completely remove Flash from your system, download the Flash uninstaller from Adobe.com. To remove Flash from Mozilla browsers only, delete these Flash plugin files from all locations. [17]
I searched for but did not find:
NPSWF32.dll

Sometimes when using my labtop it happens that I get unwanted connections when using the wiring tool because my labtop notices mouse clicks that never happend. Usually you can get rid of those connections by pressing ESC. But unfortunately now and than LabView crashes completely when pressing ESC to get rid of the connection.
How can I stop LabView from crashing in that case?
Thanks for anybodies help!Yes, I see this problem on both my LabView-Computers but more often on the labtop because of the strange integrated mouse.
Yes, I get an error message but I can't really translate it in english. It says something about memory access to a special address.
I might try reinstalling LabView one day if I have the time. I don't want to try LabView 7.0. I'm afraid it would be great. Unfortunately my boss alreday told me, we don't have money for the new version.
Thanks for your help! -

Connecting WRT54g with Sprint aircard for desktop and laptop
I am trying to setup my router with my sprint aircard on my desktop so that both my desktop and laptop can get internet. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this. i have been trying for a week now and cant get it. I have read messages every where and people say you can do it. I just cant figure it out. please help.
Message Edited by dgrev16 on 02-02-2008 03:58 PMyou should be able to plug you desktop into one of the numbered ports on the back of the router, that will get the desktop going, if it has an ethernet port, now with respect to the laptop, is the sprint aircard for wireless web that you pay for monthly or your adaptor to use for the router, if you pay monthly for the sprint aircard that is good and you should be able to use the laptop anywhere you want and there is sprint service to get online, does your laptop have a wirless card built in? if so you could use that to get online, let us know what you have and we can provide more support.

How do I setup a wireless file sharing network with a desktop and laptop?
Here are the specs.
Desktop, 1 Ethernet, hooked to Wireless router and is my main computer. XP Professional
Router, Wireless Linksys WRT54GL
Laptop, Wireless card and Ethernet. XP Home
Both the Desktop and Laptop can use the internet. The internet can be accessed by both computers. I have tried everything from creating a network via windows, messed with that for a couple days, tried programs and messed with them for a few hours.
I can sometimes see the other computer, when I deleted the programs I had to redo it, and so on. I made the folders I wanted shared, through the share menu when you right click on them, and they show up on the other computer, but I can't access them. It says I don't have access rights and to contact the administrator, but IM the administrator.
So, what do I do?Disable all firewall on both the computers ....
Try to ping one computer to another ... see if it works ....
Also you can try this link ..... useful for enabling the sharing of files in a network ... -
OS 10.4.6. has broken dialup connectivity when using fast user switching
I installed OS 10.4.6. It seems to have broken dialup connectivity when using fast user switching when switching from one user to the next.
For dialup, it is extreamly annoying that I can not resume downloading a file from were it got cut off, but now, if another user wants to check their email, my download always gets broken and has to be restarted. Dialup is slow enough with out having to start from scratch even more frequently, now.
Also, in earlier versions of 10.2 or 10.3 (I don't remember which), I was able to switch users and maintain listening to a single users' iTunes.
I would like to be able to switch users and not lose either my dialup network connection or the primary users currently playing iTunes songs.
Perhaps for iTunes, one should be able to chose to mute another users' instance of iTunes, if it is currently playing.
Mini-Mac 1.42GHz 80GB BT/AE Mac OS X (10.4.6)I have not tried replicating this but might be able to provide some additional information.
We use network login accounts on our desktop computers. Fast User switching deliberately will not work for multiple network login accounts. (Remember network login accounts normally also have an associated network home directory mounted via AFP.)
Now a bit of background about volumes and mount points under Mac OS X. Under Mac OS X, any additional drive (or more accurately 'volume') is listed under the 'Volumes' folder, remember also that Mac OS X is a Unix operating system. So just as normal for Unix, the boot drive is '/' or the root level and Volumes is a folder in it. The underlying Mac OS X software automatically 'attaches' and additional volumes as sub-folders in the 'Volumes' folder (in Unix speak these are called 'Mount Points'), if you have an external hard-disc called 'Fred' then this would be represented by the following path
/Volumes/Fred
If you happen to have two volumes with the same name connected at the same time then while in the Finder they may show up with the same name, in Unix they would have different names automatically assigned to keep them separate like so
/Volumes/Fred
/Volumes/Fred 1
Now getting back to the Fast User switching problem and AFP volumes, when you login to a File Server volume it also is automatically added to the Volumes folder, so if we have a File Server volume called 'Shared' it would look like
/Volumes/Shared
With Fast User switching potentially both user accounts could be accessing the same /Volumes/Shared which means both user accounts would be talking to the server via the same File Server login, hence the possibility for one of the Fast User accounts to be using the 'wrong' permissions. -
I have a work Mac, an air book, a home Mac; husband has desktop and laptop. That makes 5. My work computer was replaced and I do not know what the company did with it. I am not allowed to deauthorize all because I did this within the last year when I got my new airbook. Any way around the year limit? I don't know if I can find my old computer and I don't want to wait months to be able to play my ituens purchases on my new work computer.
If oyu already used up your "deauthorize all" option, you need to contact support so they can make an excemption:

I have two WD external hard drives that i keep all my video files, music and adobe premiere pro cs5 projects on. Up until 2 days ago they were working perfect, now they drop out when i try and load my projects from them, or watch a movie from them. tried restoring from two weeks ago and nothing changed. I get that error msg when i try and load something. The error msg is the one that comes up when you disconnect a usb drive without ejecting it correct. I don't think its the drives as i only use one most the time, and the other just sits there not connected, but that are now having the same issues. Help me plaza

Keeping my desktop and laptop in sync
I'm sure I'm not the first one wondering about this. I got my second Mac a MBP 15" in december and since then I've been looking for a way to keep my desktop and laptop in sync.
I would like to keep things like my iTunes library and iPhoto library and my project folder on booth the machines. The iMac runs 10.5 and the MBP runs 10.6 OSX.
None of the folders change much but I do subscribe to some podcasts and I'd really like to be able to sync my iphone on booth computers also.
I've looked at ChronoSync and using rsync but I'm not quite sure about it yet so I thought I'd ask here. Any ideas are very welcome.Don't use both Xmarks and Sync on the same devices, there have been a number of user reports here of conflicts when using both - such as corrupted data, lost data, or scrambled data.
IMHO, at this time you might be better off using Xmarks, assuming it has been working properly for you. Sync hasn't been working properly for about 5% of its users for a few months now; definitely not a proper level of service to brag about, IMO. And since the inclusion of Add-ons in the sync process, mention of capacity issues requiring more servers.
As far as the differences between Sync and Xmarks, I wouldn't know. I gave up on using it when it was slated to be shut down back in 2010, and then was acquired by Last Pass. I switched to Sync at that time, and feel more comfortable with the level of security provided by Sync (encrypted data before it leaves the users PC, and while on the Sync servers). -
