Newb needs help with windows / g4 network

Hi, I'm brand new to all this so please be patient.
I have an xp machine with an adsl internet connection which is connected to a belkin ethernet wireless bridge. I'd like to connect it wirelessly to my G4 but I can't get my head around all this new lingo.
What do I need to connect them? I have an AirPort Express Base Station and a Power PC G4 (with an ethernet card but no wireless card). My friend told me that all I'd need is the wireless bridge at the pc and the Airport Express Base Station at the G4. I've connected them (G4 and Airport base station) with an ethernet cable but when I try to configure it, it says "No new airport networks were found". Am I completely off track?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

There is very likely an issue with the configuration of the Belkin device.
Check all the settings or reset and reconfigure.
It is very difficult (if nigh impossible) to troubleshoot a device you can't see or see the configuration for.
Things you can try:
• if using any for of wireless security, switch it off and see if that makes a difference
• check the IP address of the Belkin device to ensure it is getting an IP address from the Airport base station.
Or
Purchase a wireless adapter for the G4 which will work such as an Airport card or an ethernet wireless bridge such as the Linksys WET54G.

Newbie needs help with Flex app

Hi there. I am very new to Flex and also fairly new to
programming although I do have a little experience.
I am trying to create an app which stores code snippets or
common text I tend to use every day in my documents and emails.
So basically I need help on a design level. I can refer to
the developer's manual for exact instructions for commands, but I
need to know what to code first.
The app will consist of:
-a tree directory structure where I can create groups.
-There will be a basic text editor where I input all my data,
basic text formatting options (font, bullets etc) would be a bonus.
-A search function
-Finally it will ideally allow multiple client apps write to
a central database file over a network
Can anyone suggest how I should approach such a project?
Or are there any tutorials / source files which demonstrate
each bullet point?
thanks.

Hey jono,
I'm new too. But I think I might know the right components.
If you google any of these + flex 3 you should get some
decent documentation
tree - advanced dataGrid component
basic text editor - rich text editor component
search function - well, you're gonna need to read up on
arrays, and arraycollection. Once you get that stuff working, you
can write up a function to search for a string in an array.
network functionality - HTTPService, you can dump the
datagrid into a database, and have it load the database when you
open up the application.
Give these things a shot, tutorials / sources will come with
the google searches.

Need help with routing a network in VMware.

I have one network with the IP of 192.168.2.10. A router is setup with two networks. The first network has an IP of 192.168.2.3 and the second network has an IP of 192.168.3.2. Then there is one final network whose IP is 192.168.3.10. My goal is to set
up route table entries and have all the networks be able to ping each other. The route table entries I am referring to is the
route -p add command. If someone could help me understand what entries I should input so all the networks can ping each other, that would be great. Thanks. If you need a picture of the network, I have a diagram.

Need help with Windows on Bootcamp vs. Parallels

Hello,
I installed windows 7 on a boot camp partition of my hard drive. I also installed windows 7 on Parallels with the same activation key (afterwards).
The activation key is legit, or at least should be, I bought it online.
The issue I'm having after 30 days of use is this: The parallels version of windows is telling me my version of windows isn't 'genuine', I get a black background, but can still use windows and parallels fine.
The boot camp version of windows... (the version I installed first) is running fine, no 'not genuine' messages.
Here are my questions:
1. Am I getting the error because I have 2 versions installed with the same key?
2. The software I need to run is running better on parallels than on boot camp (the interface and resolution look more appropriate and it's just easier to use). I'd like to just delete the entire boot camp partition. Will doing so solve my issue with windows, or should I deactivate windows on that side first?
3. If I should deactivate windows 7 on my boot camp partition, how do I do that?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not running bootcamp through paralells so I have installed two copies.
Can you tell me what the M$ IVR line is, do you just mean customer service?
Something interesting is that when I checked my code with Microsoft it said that "The product ID number that you entered is not supported in the country that you have selected." Does this ring bells or mean anything to anyone? Does it mean the key was pirated, or just intended for sale in a different country? I bought it from a software retailer online, and I'm assuming it's legit because it runs fine on the bootcamp side. So I'm wondering if this error message could be related to the double install or what?
Can someone provide me a link instructing how to delete the bootcamp partition? Is that a pretty straight forward process?
Thanks

Need HELP with Windows on my iMac. Thanks.

I'm an experienced Windows user. I bought the iMac 20" Duo Core 2 (2.16ghz) because of the hardware and the design. I want to use Windows XP Pro (then Vista) almost exclusively.
PROBLEM: Windows installed and worked PERFECTLY (without the Mac OS or Boot Camp. I also installed the Mac drivers for Windows. Everything went beautifully UNTIL I started installing the Windows drivers for my external firewire sound equipment. Then the computer wouldn't fully boot. Every manufacturer I spoke with concerning my external equipment said that they did NOT plan to update their drivers to use Windows on a Mac. They said that there are problems and issues with the new Duo Core 2 processor in a Mac running Windows. These are DRIVER issues that may never be addressed by individual equipment manufacturers.
QUESTION: Do I need to reinstall the Mac OS and keep it updated in order to avoid conflicts with Windows' use of the Mac hardware? Or can I simply install Windows only, and try for workarounds?
Thank you very much for your replies.

Thank you, Eric, for your VERY helpful reply.
I've reinstalled Windows XP Pro S2, and got the system up and running again.
The problem I initially had was with the M-Audio Firewire Solo external soundcard. Once the driver was installed, the computer locked during booting. The M-Audio tech I spoke with was exceptionally knowledgeable, and he said they were working on updated drivers for both the Mac and the PC, but not for Windows on a Mac.
The problem could be that the firewire port uses the same IRQ as the hard drive. Although there isn't technically a conflict, the firewire port could be interfering with the boot when it's connected to a phantom-powered unit. And this unit cannot be hot-wired. However, the computer locked simply upon installing the driver with no unit connected.
I've decided to change over to a external soundcard that uses USB instead. I'm hoping this will solve the problem.
I purchased this computer for digital audio recording in Windows. If there are more conflicts that I cannot workaround, I'm going to have to return it and get a PC-based Intel desktop system. I don't want to do that however. I really, REALLY like this machine. But I need it to work with my equipment.
BTW, I've searched the other forums here on Apple.com. Several people have written in about the problems they've had with both the firewire and USB ports - using the MAC OS. So it's not just a conflict with Windows.
I really appreciate your reply. Thanks again.

Newbie needs help with browser compatibility

Ok, so I'm new at this, so this may be something really
simple, but browser compatibility? I made a site in DW;html and it
shows up perfect in safari but internet explorer and firefox not so
much. I did a browser compatibility test in DW and it says nothing
is wrong with my pages, but obviously something must be!!
On my home page, the image of a house that I have next to the
company name shows up fine in safari but not any other browsers.
And my page layout, everything is moved over funny in other
browsers. Also there are link boxes around the table I created with
different brands of products. On safari the boxes do not show, but
all the other browsers it does!! I'm new at this and frustrated!!!
Need help!!
The link is holmeshifi.com and I posted code from the home
page!

OK thanks Ned sorry to soo dumb I'm on a learning curve here! what
I'm trying to do is go to the URLs of web galleries of images from my
main site
so I would presumably have to rename them on my server? i.e. does that
mean adding the code ", "_blank");
to the files on the server?
At the moment I have to use the back button on my browser window which
takes me back to the main site which then has to reload (tediously!)

MSI P67A-C45 (B3) Newb needs Help with connections..

Hi all..
First time posting here, but have been in the shadows for quite a while..
Anyway, i decided to finally take the plunge, and build my own PC, and now i'm beginning to hit a few bumps.
I have a couple of questions that i would like some help with, if possible to reassure myself i may be in the right direction..
I bought THIS PSU and was hoping someone could tell me where the Blue connectors (one labelled CP and one labelled U1) Connect to?
Is it into JPWR2? And does it/do they only connect in the correct way? (Do i remove the plastic cap and attach both?
and i bought THIS VIDEO/GRAPHICS CARD and i'm guessing the RED "PCI express" and "SLI ready" connect to that somehow (Haven't opened box yet for card)
Again, wondering is there a certain way for them to connect.
Also, from my chassis, the "AC '97" and "HDA" connectors go to JAUD (I guess), does it matter which one? (I currently have "HDA" connected)
I have i5 2500k already on board. (If that makes a difference).

Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
Do the Audio plugs go into JAUD? and does it matter which one?
Yep, connect the front panel audio to the JAUD. If you need the pin layout, it says in the manual. I would say the HDA connector is the one to connect.
Quote from: Ben_Cartwright on 26-May-11, 22:05:35
Any recommendations for testing it all, before i plug it in, and press the power?
Should i (Can i) test individual parts first?
Thanks again.
Check all power connections, seating of the RAM and add-on cards, check the HSF is plugged into the fan header, and obvious things like that.
As for testing, enter the BIOS and make sure the CPU isn't running too hot. Set up the RAM with the required timings and voltage, and test with >>Memtest86<< for several hours. No point starting the Windows installation if say your RAM has errors, since it will corrupt files during the install, if it installs at all.

Windows 8.1 need help with Windows Updates and Start menu Or fix my old Windows Xp system

My beloved windows Xp has gave up after many years of working well. It stopped working a few days ago after a lightening strike.
I got this Windows 8.1 computer a few month ago but it seems to have a problem. I stopped using it after could not get start menu to work and when back to my Windows XP system.
First problem is the start menu is not there. I tried installing something and it says it will take control or something and screen goes black. I clicked canceled quickly in order not to get a virus.
Where is the start menu?
Second problem, Windows updates does not want to update because it needs Windows 8.1 update. This computer is already Windows 8.1. There I canceled it since it was mostly a virus. Now updates are not working.
If those can not be fixed, how can i fix my Windows Xp to get it back. It does not turn on, I press button and nothing happens. Is this something easy to fix?

Another user discovers that Windows 8.1 is not at all of what it should be.
There is no Start Menu in Windows 8 or 8.1. However, you can restore your desktop start menu with a very good freeware application:
Classic Shell
Windows Update comes with Windows 8.1. There is nothing special you have to do.
It kind of sounds like you've been a bit too quick to download and run whatever you find on the Internet. You should always research any software you're considering downloading/installing ahead of time. Google it. See what others say
about it. Ask on forums. In order to use Windows effectively and safely you need to expand your knowledge and become a more sophisticated user.
If you think your new system has become infected, you might want to consider Refreshing or Resetting it to a clean state, or at least visiting one of the anti-malware forums and getting some advice on cleaning it up. But beware, a lot
of "blind leading the blind" happens on forums. Always try to read between the lines, and question what people say.
You could consider leaving XP behind. Its time has come and gone, and pretty much any newer version of Windows can actually give you better service than XP - once you get it tuned up.
It's possible to make Windows 8.1 more functional than XP and about as functional as Windows 7, but it takes a fair bit of effort in reconfiguration and installation of some well-known 3rd party applications that are good (which, unfortunately, most
on the internet are not).
Good luck to you.

I need help with Windows 10 Technical Preview. No sound. Korean files. Screen Flashes

I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview Yesterday. Took TEN hours!
Now, I have NO SOUND. There are Korean files on my desktop. My screen flashes from blue to my desktop. It is SLOW.
I had Windows 8 before this. I bought this laptop brand new from a store in January of this year.
Can someone help me either fix the issues or help me get back to Windows 8?

it came with windows 8.1 then, the windows 10 preview is still kinda early in the curve so it may have a few problems with your machine
probably be best to wait till the summer when its ready

K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1 ... need help with Windows 7 install

Hello,
Having an intermittant issue with Windows 7 32bit. During startup Windows 7 gets stuck at the logo screen. Not always though. Every 7-8th reboot it will make it past and go all the way into Windows 7. I've tried all sorts of combinations of "ebabling/disabling". This system ran XP professional for 3 years without any issues. Currently, I have the most luck by connecting the keyboard and mouse to PS2 and leaving USB disabled. This may not be the issue though. Once I got Win7 to boot I performed driver updates etc.
If someone has suggestions please let me know. I'm about to try the USB bios flash but have never done it before.
Thank you,
BK

Hi Guys,
Thank you for the replies.
- Yes it is a fresh install of Windows7 on a drive that originally had XP Pro
- If I boot into safe mode it does go into Win7 most of the time.
- I posted on the MSI tech support page (http://support.msi.com/index.php) and the response was to upgrade the BIOS. What do you think?
- I've been using this graphics card for three years and is nowhere near as powerful as what's out there now. In fact all of the components are three years old except the RAM
- I tried the old RAM (2GB Corsair) and it also had the same issue. Even at default RAM settings or otherwise. Now I'm back to the 4GB Patriot Vipers.
- What is this capacitor problem people are referring to? Is it a problem specifically on this model board?
Thank you..

Newbie need help with Web BEx setup!

Out of curiosity, I decided to install Netweaver so I can have a play with it. I am a complete newbie to Netweaver therefore I apologise if this is out of context...
Here's my question:
How do one go about getting Web BEx to work?
Whenever I activate the link in the portal, I get an error about unknown "SWITCH_AXES" command and 0ANALYSIS type 4 error. I search the forum and the few passing mentions of the problem points to OSS notes that is only accessible through service marketplace (which I don't have an ID). I have check the object types in BI content and seems that 0ANALYSIS is already activated. There must be something I am missing. Tried blindly and randomly installed other BI content (mostly Web templates and objects) but to no avail (and encounted a few short dumps).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
So far, here're what I did:
1) Install Netweaver 2004S ABAP and Java on the same machine. Instance 00, 01 and 02 respectively.
2) Try to run BI-Java template installer, but met with error part way. So some of the steps are done manually.
3) Set up SLD (both instance are in the landscape), and 'partially' set up SSO. Partially as while JAVA to ABAP seems to work, ABAP to JAVA is not working. Anoying but livable.
4) Installed TREX (instance 03) and are seen by ABAP and JAVA.
5) ABAP is seen in the portal and I can create transactional iviews and put them in the Portal (with working SSO).
6) Did reverse-proxying with Apache, but I don't think it matters as it seems to be a backend module issue.
7) Business planning/wizard is working (in ABAP and Portal) as is Broadcast. As you can see, Web BEx is the only thing that is not working

The default link for Web Analyser in EP 7 seems to point to the new template. When opening the analysis template in the new BEx windows tool, the same error is being reported. Using 3.5.x WAD, I can't locate the template.
More on this issue Although for that case, the meta data is not installed. Is there a way to trace missing component and reinstall the needed BI content in RSA1?
BTW, these are on JAVA SP9 and ABAP SP11.

Crypto newb: Need help with encrypting data for offline Swing app

Hi all,
I'm VERY new to cryptography. Can somebody point me in the right direction? I've created a Swing application that is intended to be used offline (no network connections are established by the app). I need to export XML files from this application, to be transported via floppy to another instance of the application on a different computer for import. The information is sensitive and must be encrypted!
I started looking into AES and using asymmetric ciphers (public/private key encryption). But then I realized that if Jane is exporting a file for Bob to view, she won't have access to Bob's public key (no network access). Ugghh!
I noticed another solution in this forum where the person suggested using password encryption. It was an old post and I think it used DES. Anyway, password encryption doesn't seem too secure.
So, I thought I'd create a symmetic key (correct term?) once, store it in the program directory, and distribute it with the application installer. That way, everyone would have the same key and would be able to encrypt/decrypt each others files. Right? Err... I'm not sure.
Like I said, I'm a newb at crypto. If someone could suggest the best/most secure way to accomplish this, I would be eternally grateful.
PLEASE HELP!!! :-D
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, Grant. I must've posted that last one just
after your response. I was intending the message to
be for Anand. Heh - you have no idea how many times I've done the same thing. It's an artifact of the asynchronous nature of message boards.
Your response is very helpful. Out of
curiosity, does my last post provide any more insight
that would change your mind? Or do you still believe
that using password encryption and letting the user
choose/provide the password is the best solution?Well, as you noted, giving everyone two sets of keypairs is semantically equivalent to giving everyone a single symmetric key. And, as I've noted, it's completely INsecure - everyone who gets access to an install disk, either legitimately or no, can read every transmission your app makes forever after. Cryptographically speaking, this is Not A Good Thing.
The advantage of PBE is that it's easy for your users to exchange keys when their machines can't see each other. The real key here is that your app, if you really want it to be secure, MUST allow/require that transmission between Alice and Bob use a different key than that between Alice and Carlos or Bob and Carlos - otherwise, if Eve compromises any user of your software, ALL users are compromised.
I'd go with PBE, just because other alternatives are painful for your end users. You could use generated KeyPairs, for example, if you provide a means for users to exchange public keys. If you display Bob's public key in encoded, String-able form, then Bob can either email that to Alice or read it off to her over the phone. Into your app Alice loads/types in that public key, and the app now knows how to secure communications with Bob.
Public keys are large, though, and people screw them up typing them in. And many users have TERRIBLE key discipline - if Bob loses access to his private key, he can't read anything Alice sends. And if his private key is readable on some public shared folder (which happens with a totally-frightening regularity), then we're back to no security at all.
Use one of the triple-DES PBE Ciphers, and get on with making your app do what you really want it to do, would be my advice. (Free advice, of course, being worth every penny you pay!)
Once again, thanks a bunch!Glad to help.
Grant

Newb needs help w small office network setup

Just started a new job at small start-up company that needs their 6-7 macs and a couple of printers networked. I'm just a designer and I'm trying to help but I'm not familiar with osX networking and I hope someone could point me in the right direction. Currently the owner has DSL on all the computers so there is an ethernet cable in each one to a router or hub i believe.
Currently when I try to connect via Go menu to Connect to server, there is no list. If I type in the name of one of the other computers and try to connect I get:
"Connection failed. The server may not exist of it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
I don't really know where to start or what questions to ask but I hope having an ethernet cable system already in place is a good thing.
Your help appreciated

I'm starting out with 2 computers near me, G4 HOMER
and G4 MINI. Both are connecting to the net via
ethernet. Personal File Sharing is ON on both.
On G4 MINI, I can see G4 HOMER, but when trying to
connect (Go>Connect to server>G4 HOMER) get
"ConnectionFailed -Server may not exist or is not
operational"
when connecting ot the server try using G4-HOMER.local as the server address.
