I found the camera this morning, but I haven't taken pictures of the new place yet. I think that'll have to wait until this weekend.br /br /I'm sitting in the corner of what will be the office space. Right now, it's got the cordless phone, the wifi router, the cable modem, and the Vonage (codec? modem? codec seems likely, how wonderfully archaic). Off to the side is a sewing table of some sort that the former owners left behind which has the power brick for our cell phones and Angie's laptop on it.br /br /We're running laundry for the first time in the washing machine downstairs, and seasoning the new cast iron frying pan. Leif had a bath earlier and actually went down at about the normal time. He woke up at 05h30 this morning, probably due to the lack of curtains. It apparently starts to get bright early, and none of us are sleeping well with three of us in a double.br /br /Our furniture is due to arrive somewhere between the 15th and the 18th. I phoned today and the moving company told us that the stuff hasn't left California yet. Ah well. We've purchased a toaster over and electric kettle so far. We bought the stove, washer and dryer from the former owner. There was a spare fridge downstairs that we're using, but mostly we're using the step outside the kitchen door. We're back in Quebec and it's cold enough to keep things out there. =)br /br /This place is easily the largest place I've lived in since my parents split up when I was 8. Angie and I are really trying hard not to fill it with crap, but actually think through what we need.br /br /I signed Angie and I up for gym memberships today after work. Yesterday was cell phones. Angie picked up some new pots and pans. Tomorrow will be towels and some dishes.br /br /Anyone know if it's better to buy a fridge and dishwasher before Christmas or after? =)br /br /The new home number, cell numbers and such will be in Facebook and Orkut in a moment.

Man, we can bet there's some serious celebrating going on at the Buffalo offices today. After being barred from selling its networking gear here in America last June, Buffalo has finally been freed from its CSIRO-given chains. Who's to thank? A federal judge who has stayed the permanent injunction in the ongoing US patent litigation, which opens the doors for the company to sell "IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11n compliant products in the United States." Finally, we USers can look forward to buying helicopter inspired routers on our home turf.

[Thanks, Mark]

Ok, so I am having this issue ever since I moved into my new apartment. I hooked up my internet through Cox and bought a new Netgear router. The problem I am having is, every time I log onto iChat at my apartment, the program opens and closes like 10 times really fast. Then I get an error that says I have attempted to log onto iChat too many times and I must try again later. The weird thing is, my friend visited for Thanksgiving and he brought his MacBook Pro, his iChat worked fine. My girlfriend and I both have MacBook Pro's as well but we can not log onto iChat. I am beginning to think it is my router causing it but how is it my buddies did not have the same problem??? Can anyone help me out? Is this something that has happen to you? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :D

As William Gibson once wrote, "the street finds its own uses for things." Of course, the future he envisioned was populated by cut-throat characters with names like Dex Cowb0t, mercenary-types who made their money the only way they knew how: with custom cyberspace decks, hopped up on designer drugs like "splurge" and "spazz." What he never understood was that the only true measure of a technology is its ability to aid a bored populace in its pursuit of nostalgia and novelty. And by these standards, the Pico-ITX board might be one of the most important technological breakthroughs of its time (roughly 2007-2010 CE). Where would the hackers and case modders of our humble era be if it weren't for this guy? They wouldn't be shoving PCs into old Game Boy cases, that's for sure. Case in point: the Linksys Bt320g seedbox project places VIA's EPIA PX10000G mobo and a 320GB HDD in an old Linksys shell (and a 400GB HDD in a second router). The man responsible doesn't say whether or not this one was intended to thwart they copyright police in the event of a search and seizure, but on the other hand we're assuming that he isn't going to be seeding OpenOffice on the thing either. If retro computing's your bag, we've found a Timex Sinclair ZX81 case mod that should bring you considerable joy. Unfortunately the membrane keyboard's been disabled, but if you don't mind using a USB keyboard with a machine that originally sported 1KB RAM (at a whopping 3.25MHz), you might want to hit the read link and see how it's done.

So I purchased Air Cam Live Video (video home surveillance app, also with audio on a Mac) for $7.99 from the App store, and despite my best efforts there is nothing I can do to get this working remotely.

If I'm within range of my MacBook Pro, it's great, with the iPhone 3G on the same network it works flawlessly.

But it is also supposed to work by entering the computer's IP address. You have to open up a port on the router, which I've done; you enter the IP address in the router's setup page and forward a port there. I have a somewhat complicated system: Sympatico DSL to D-Link wired router to Apple Time Capsule to various Macs. And I'm taking into account that the IP is dynamic and changes so I update it when necessary for each attempt.

But using the IP address of the router doesn't work; using the assigned IPs (192.xxx.x.xxx etc.) of the Time Capsule, and the computer, doesn't work.

I have sought support from the software's creators but they haven't solved this.

So I tried hooking up the MacBook Pro directly to the router by ethernet; an IP address still gets assigned, but neither that nor the router/computer's IP address gets Air Cam working remotely.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Need to have a baby monitor or a nanny cam? Set up your iSight webcam in the baby’s bedroom, and remotely check up on your baby with your iPhone/iPod Touch without stepping into the room.

Ever wonder what your cats or dogs are doing when you are not there? Use Air Cam to remotely monitor them, while you are in another room. Why limiting to your pets; do it to your roommates too.

When hooked up with an external webcam, you can even turn Air Cam into a home surveillance system. Simply point your webcam to the location you want to monitor, and receive live video feed on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

FEATURES:

* Continuous video and audio feed (current Windows version has no audio support; this will be added in future update).
* Compatible with most internal and external USB webcams.
* Support multiple webcam connections.
* Volume, frame rate and sync control directly from your device.
* Support streaming over Edge/3G with port forwarding.
* Support both Mac and Windows.
* Free future update for life.

** IMPORTANT: To ensure your webcam is compatible, please download and install our Mac or Windows software first. Make sure the software works correctly on your system BEFORE purchasing Air Cam on iTunes.

Software download site is: http://www.senstic.com/iphone/aircam/aircam.aspx

Please read carefully of the following requirement before purchasing Air Cam:

1.A desktop or laptop running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (previous OS X versions are not yet supported) or Windows XP/Vista with compatible internal or external webcam.

2.A shared Wi-Fi network between your Mac computer and your iPhone/iPod Touch. Air Cam also works with Edge or 3G networks with port forwarding of TCP port 1726.

3.Download and run the free Mac or Windows software from http://www.senstic.com/iphone/aircam/aircam.aspx to stream your video feed.

I have a question about how to connect an intel Mac (OS 10.5 Leopard) to a PC (XP) via an ethernet cable to move files from the PC to the Mac. Apple's page on the subject is as follows (http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/migrate/):
Quote: Direct connect
To move files by connecting your Mac directly to your PC:

1. Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. Make sure that both computers are turned on.
3. In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
4. Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
smb://DNSname/ShareName
smb://IPaddress/ShareName
5. Click Connect.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
7. Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
8. Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
9. When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it. However, I am very illiterate when it comes to Windows and have the following questions:

How do I find the computer's IP address (I believe it is behind a router, which means I cannot use a website such as www.whatismyip.com)?

If this isn't possible with the router, how do I assign an IP address to the PC and the Mac (this is a solution I've read elsewhere)?

What is the "DNSname"?

I will be moving files for a friend tomorrow and do have my trusty hard drive ready (which is how I usually do it), but I would prefer the more elegant method of connecting via an ethernet cable. Please do not fear condescending me, the more information and detail the better. Thanks in advance for your help!

AT& T announced this morning that it is going to cut 12,000 jobs, or 4 percent of its workforce, joining a long list of companies that are making cuts in response to the economy’s growing woes. These job cuts are not a surprise, because AT&T is seeing its wireline customer base eviscerated. The cuts will be rolled out in December and through 2009, though the company might add positions in its wireless and broadband business. The company said it is going to cut its capital spending as well. With this news, there is no denying it: A full-scale recession has hit the telecom sector, as I had outlined last month.

UBS Research estimates that AT&T could cut its capex by more than 10 percent in 2009, much higher than previously expected 4 percent cuts. All these cuts are going to roll down hill to the equipment vendors. Ciena, for instance, is one company that is going to get hit hard, because AT&T accounts for nearly 25 percent of its revenues. Adtran and ADC Telecom, other AT&T customers, could be hit hard as well. Other carriers, facing similar pressure, are going to follow suit and cut their spending on wireline businesses; at the same time they could also reconsider their spending on video rollouts. UBS is forecasting an overall telco decline of around 7 percent. U.S. cable companies’ capex could be down 5-10 percent.

This week, Time Warner Cable’s chief financial officer, Rob Marcus, warned that his company is expecting a dip in video, high-speed Internet and telephony subscribers in 2009 as the economy tanks. No surprise — widespread layoffs in the New York area, especially at the Wall Street firms and banks, is going to impact its customer base. Nascent competition from Verizon is only going to cause more problems for this company.

As another data point for the general malaise, Infonetics Research today released a report that shows that sales of service provider switches and IP core and edge routers dropped 4 percent sequentially to $3.3 billion in the third quarter of 2008. Sales were up 21 percent from the third quarter of 2007, however. Apparently Cisco is losing some market share to Juniper Networks, Huawei, NEC, and Alcatel-Lucent. Infonetics is predicting that the service provider telecom capex will contract in 2009.

I have a hard wired router at work. Is there any way to connect to the internet with my touch besides buying a new wireless router?

Thanks for any guidance

Hi, new to the forum and mac as well.

Here is my issue, I have the following hardware:


Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch (BEFSR41)

Linksys EZXS88W EtherFast 10/100 8-Port Workgroup Switches (Two of them)

I'm trying to Network 12 IMacs (OS X) with the above hardware. Here is what I have so far. I have connected to each Ethernet port a CAT5 cable from the 'built in' Ethernet port into the number ports on the switch. (1-8)

In order to connect the two switches I have used a 'Crossover cable' and that is in the 'Uplink' port of the switch. I get steady green lights on the first two rows. Then all orange/amber lights which would detect an 'collison(s). On the switches.

I have also used a straight through to connect to one switch into the back of the router port and the Internet port has a CAT5 coming from an existing DSL connection.

The CD will not run since .exe files are for PCs. And I cannot even get to the router's config page to configure it to get this network off the ground.

So, in summary how what the correct configs as far as cables into what ports and do I even need a crossover cable to connect both switches?

Please any help would be gladly appreciated!!
