NAT / cant select my external Ethernet Card (for use with PPPoE)

Hi i'm experiencing difficultys in setting up my server with a public IP adress on my external ethernetcard through PPPoe (xDSL). This setting is described as a sample setup in "ServerAdministrationv10.5.pdf" The following problems com up:
- When i try to settup trough Server Assistant and i come to Network settings both (external (WAN)& internal (LAN)) Ethernetcards show up. As an necessery information there is asked for "PPPoE Servicename" (besides accountname and password). My ISP doesnt require a PPPoE Service name and when i query (?) what is asked for Server Assistant tells me that except i get the information from my ISP i have to leave the field blank. Now, i cant continue with the setup when leaving the field blank . The information is required. When i just supply some information and continue with setup the setup ends with a long pause and an errormessage.
- Second try, after initial clean installation i Setup the server again localy with the default Serverassistant. When asked to post IP-Adress and Subnetmask for the first listed Ethernetcard i just leafe it with DHCP and continue. After initial Setup is complete i try to reconfigure the external (WAN) Ethernetcard with PPPoE. By doing that(in Systemettings / Networksettings) a get something like a new virtual Interface on my External EthernetCard. I enter the necessary information (accountname, password and leave the field for "PPPoE Servicename" blank. I connect to my ISP and get a perfect connection. No problem to brouse the Web or make FTP connection.
Now when i continue to finish the setup of my new leopard-server i'm asked to select the external Ethernetcardin NAT. Unfortunally i have know three Ethernetinterfaces (External with DHCP, External with PPPoE and the internal one for my LAN). The 2 externel EthernetInterfeces have both the same Name (in NAT)
and somehow i cant select the one where i have setup my PPPoE.
Now, i go back to Networksettings and delete the initial Externalcardsetting (leaving with only my working PPPoE setting on the External Ethernetinterface). As the result of this manipulation i cant select the external Ethernetinterface in NAT anymore. Only the internal (LAN) Ethernetinterface shows up.
Can anybody help me with to above discribed Problem? Somehow i have to be able to select my working PPPoE Setting (on my external Ethernetinterface) in NAT.

I have this exact problem on my new Intel Xserve. During setup I configure ethernet 1 with a manual IP address and try to set up ethernet 2 for PPPoE (it will connect to my ISP via the ADSL modem/bridge) but despite the help screen saying do NOT type anything in PPPoE Service Name unless requested to do so by the ISP (they don't), if I leave it blank it complains because that field is empty and returns to the same screen.
This brings the entire installation to a halt. Seems to me like it's a big bug - I cannot see any way around it. Someone please tell me I'm being stupid here and the solution is obvious:-)

Partitioning an External 320gb drive for use with Time Machine and...

I want to be able to use my Western Digital 320GB external drive for use with Time Machine and to use as extra storage space on both my Mac and when I boot into Windows Vista.
Is this possible?
I was playing around in Disk Utility and would I partition the part I want to use for Time Machine with the Mac OS Journaled, and whatever I want as space for windows, use a MS - DOS format?
Has anyone done this before?
Cheers-

Unless you are using 64 bit version of MSWindows (64 bit XP/Vista), it won't be able to handle a disk with GUID partition table (GPT). Disks with Apple Partition Map (APM) or GUID partition table are the only ones that Time Machine will work with (not MBR disks). Note also that the MBR/APM/GPT are at the DISK level and not the partition level, so don't mix the format with partitioning scheme. Time Machine disks are meant to live in the Mac universe (for now, anyway) and sharing with the MSWindows 32-bit universe is not possible.

USB external portable HD for use with FCE and MBP ???????

I've seen a 120 GB USB portable external Seagate HD for $117. Would this be usable as a scratch disk for use with my MBP 2.0 and final cut express HD 3.5. Are there problems with using USB externals? FW external hd's seem to be a good deal more expensive.
Thanks.
Maurice

I bought one recently very cheaply to use for general storage.
I found that FCE 3.0 worked perfectly and have been using it ever since instead of my FW HD.
HOWEVER, before you dash out and buy one take note that I have only been tinkering around and experimenting with comparatively short projects of no importance.
I strongly suspect that if I made a long and complicated film I might suffer - so pay the extra and get a FW HD !
Incidentally for normal storage purposes the USB2 HD takes over twice the time to move files back and forth. So even for non-FCE use the Firewire HD is twice as fast.

What is a good external hard drive for use with a macbook air?

I am looking at purchasing a macbook air 13". What is a good external hard drive to use with it? Should I look for an external hard drive with its own a/c power or is the usb 3.0 capable of powering the external drive.

Have a look here for the sizes and prices.
It is however, much better to get a USB external drive that comes with it's own power adapter to avoid issues when or if your USB port can't supply enough power to your external drive.
That issue however does happen rarely but it does happen. Especially when connecting other devices to your other USB port while your external hard drive is connected to your other usb port.

External Touch Screen for use with x220 running Tablet PC for XP

I've been tasked to purchase an external touch monitor for use the the x220 running Tablet PC for XP but the monitor specs typically show "Windows Vista/Win7" supported. Will any touch monitor correctly work with this OS? Any recommendations?

Hello,
I would imagine you would need to find a touch-enabled screen that has device drivers for Microsoft Windows XP available for it.

Can someone suggest an affordable external hard drive for use with FCPX and video editing on my Macbook Pro Retina

I have a Macbook Pro Retina from 2012 and I only got the 250GB hard drive. I'm getting ready to purchase a Panosonic HC-X920 to use with Final Cut Pro X already installed on my laptop. Since I know the file sizes are going to be so big, can anyone suggest an affordable external drive fast enough to keep up with editing the video? I'm not a pro and use it for family and personal projects.
I prefer some thunderbolt options since I haven't had a chance to use the inputs since I got my macbook pro. I just don't know what is necessarily too little or too big and too cheap and too expensive for my needs. Thank you.

OWC is a Mac specialist and a very trustworthy vendor. I have dealt with them and their technical stall on many occasions. Hence you may look at what they offer and be assured that they will stand behind what they sell:

I suspect that for your needs, a 1 TB drive is going to be the minimum.

Quiet external hard drive for use with Time Machine?

Few questions related to Time Machine:
1- what external hard drive that would be good to use with Time Machine, that also runs relatively quietly? Since TM runs 24/7, am looking for one that is quieter than my current G-tech.
2- Please confirm what size is optimal relative to the size of the internal hard drive.
3- I currently use a separate external hard drive as my bootable disc. Is it possible/preferable to have these be on one and the same drive?
Thank you.

1. I like these (have three of them) - literally whisper quiet:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
2. You should allow 2 - 3 times your internal drive's size for TM.
3. No, it'd be best to be on another drive - you can create separate partitions, but if/when the drive fails, both of your backups would be gone. So, keep your clone on a separate disk. In fact, it's good to have two different backups.

Newest Video Cards for use with both Premiere Pro CS6 and CS4

Hi, I am currently using PPCS4 and just upgraded to PPCS6. On one system I'm running a GTX 285 and on the other Quadro 2000. Can you tell me which new graphics card in each catagory will be able to run both CS6 and CS4 as I have many programs still setup in CS4? I tried tech sipport with no answer from them. I looked over GTX 570 or 580 for one system and Quadro 4000 for the other but I still have reservations if there will be a problem or not with CS4. Can you help me. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, both systems are running Intel core i7's, one with 24gb ram and the other with 16gb ram. Thanks

CS4 does not really use any advanced features of any card... so a relatively inexpensive AMD/ATI card will do anything a more expensive card will do... for CS4
Starting with CS5 (a complete rewrite of the source code, to go from 32bit to 64bit, plus a LOT of other changes) an nVidia card helps with some actions

For a list of supported nVidia CUDA cards go to the CUDA help page - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773101
For many others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file
Which nVidia card you buy will be a combination of 2 factors... how much $$ you want to spend for a given speed level (number of Cuda cores) and the size of your power supply to drive the card

Graphics card for use with FC Studio

So I'm purchasing a Mac Pro for use mainly with Final Cut Studio in the next few days, and I'm unsure as to which graphics card I should order, the GeForce 7300 GT or Radeon X1900 XT (I know nothing about video cards).
I won't be using much Motion, so the question is: in what ways does a better graphics card improve video editing? I understand that it would help for real time effects or previewing unrendered footage, but is that all? I'd love to hear some real world examples

Adam,
Did you post this in the Final Cut Pro Discussion, too? You might get more detailed answers. I asked a similar (but more general) question there last week, and the clear consensus was that the performance boost from the Radeon -- across the board -- would be well worth the upgrade.

Best eSata card for use with G-Tech G-Raid mini2? weibetech no work

Hi there,
I recently purchased a brand new G-Tech 640GB G-raid mini2. I specifically purchased the drive to take advantage of the esata port. I edit video and need the throughput speeds for HD footage. Currently, I'm using the Weibetech Express/34 esata adapter to run the drive but it's not working. The information I received from the very helpful people at Weibetech, was that Silicon Image who makes the chip that runs the card, are not updating the drivers to work with my operating system. 10.5. Both apple and SI are aware of this issue.
Question I have is what card will work with the computer and the drive? Has anyone had the same or similar issue? Maybe the G-Raid drive isn't the way to go. Anyone have a better suggestion for speed when cutting video on a MBP?
Thanks

I wonder why the G-Speed Q (From G-Technology) which uses the same 936 chip is benchmarked at a much slower speed using there $300 RAID card. According to G-Tech "The G-SPEED Q write speeds are about 165MB/s, and the reads are about 215MB/s." with RAID 5.
Hi,
I have not tested the G-Speed Q.
I can tell you 936QS based enclosures tend to be very performance sensitive to the model of hard disk installed and the eSATA driver used. This is why performance results can be amazingly different when the 936QS is used with various drives and eSATA controllers.
Its not like a direct connect 4-bay enclosure where you see much less difference in hard disk performance when different 3.5" SATA hard disk models are used.
In my tests, the Hitachi 1TB provided some of the best 936QS performance I have recorded. In addition, FirmTek has optimized the SeriTek/2ME4-E driver version 6.0.0fc18 to enhance 936QS performance. This combination is able to maximize the performance available with the 936QS design.
I hope this information is helpful.

External hard disk for use with quicksilver 2002 and intel imac 24"

i am wanting to purchase an external hard disk to be used with both a g4 and an intel imac 24".
i am considering a seagate barracuda 500gb or 750gb and purchasing an external case separately.
interfaces - usb2, firewire 400 and 800.
Do I need a case with the "oxford chipset" to have it work.
Are all seagates compatible these days.
I was looking at a ultra ata100 hard disk. Will this disk connect automatically to the enclosure or will additional cables be required
Is the Ice Cube Generation II Ide enclosure ok to use.
Appreciate any help given
dual 1 gig G4, Intel 24" Imac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi-
The Ice Cube uses an Oxford chipset, (part of the external housings onboard controller) so it should be fine. The Oxford chipset has been shown to give the best compatibility and performance, thus being an desirable feature.
http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2307.htm
Using a Seagate Ultra ATA 100 drive should give you good, quiet, reliable service. There are no problems with the Seagate ATA drives.
Using the drive and housing with firewire will give you the best results, and firewire will allow you to use a bootable backup on the external drive, should the need be.
The housing comes with all the necessary cables to connect and use your external drive.
Insert the hard drive into the housing, connect the power and the firewire, format the hard drive, and you are ready to go..........

How do i move photos to external hard drive for use with iphoto 11

My hard drive is full. I have a Lacie 3 TB external formatted for Mac Journaled. I want to keep my photos and other iPhoto 11 media on the external. Should I just move the iPhoto library to the external or some other way? For iTunes, I moved the iTune media folder location and copied my existing iTunes media folder over and deleted the old after telling iTune to go to the external drive folder.
I don't want to point iPhoto to the new location every time I open it. Any better way or just move the iPhoto library?

Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How do you format an NTSF external hard drive for use with Mountain Lion

I'm switching over to Mac from PC, and have an external NTSF formated hard drive I regularly use. I understand from the forum the initial file transfer should be no issue, but for ongoing use of the HD, does it need to be formated to something other than NTSF... and if so, to what and how.

Do this when you're ready:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Monitor and card for use with FC, AE and DVDSP

Hi everyone
Since a couple of months I'm getting more and more assignments to create motion graphics for commercials, billboards and DVD's. So far I'll got along quite well with my usual equipment (G5 2x2ghz, dual monitors, 2,5gb RAM and a GeForce FX 5200 graphic card).
But so far I've had to check the final outcome on a friends reference monitor and nowadays I simple don't have the time (or energy) to do that.
But when I'm looking at all the possible equipment to buy I get confused. What I really need is a way to see my stuff from After Effects mainly on a monitor so I can see how it behaves on a PAL-screen.
Anybody out there that can help me?

Okay, First you've got to tell us the format you're working in. DV, Uncompressed, HD? Then we can give you some direction for the kind of interface you'll need to view your material. If you're working in DV, Aftereffects will allow you to view via firewire. Not sure how it compares to looking at it from fcp via firewire. It may just be a proxy and not give you an accurate view.
