Subject: Tiger Bugs Break Networking Software
Tiger Bugs Break Networking Software
Some enterprise networking software developers have discovered that
their products are not compatible with Apple Computer Inc.'s new
"Tiger" operating system and are recommending that their customers
hold off on upgrading to Tiger, Ziff Davis Internet News has learned.
While most developers point to dramatic changes in Tiger's kernel as
the reason, several claim that part of the problem is one or more bugs in
the kernel of Mac OS X 10.4, bugs that they say Apple has
acknowledged and has promised to repair.
Apple declined to comment.
Incompatibilities with Tiger exist for a large variety of network
software, including VPN clients from a variety of vendors, file
sharing and Active Directory integration products from Thursby
Software Systems Inc. and others, and network encryption software,
including PGP Desktop from PGP Corp.

Subject: Re: YaGoohoogle
Yeah. I think I posted about it a while back. I also have a Search thread
in savemybutt.com in the Links Forum, if I remember right. I listed some of
my favorite Search engines there. It's a long list. By the way, I am
seriously considering having an alternate Computer HELP venue similar to
SaveMyButt. If you are experienced in creating such a forum, email me
privately. I want to set one up. That does not mean we will abandon this
group. We won't close it for people who like this medium. However, we can
archive the best of postings here and in SMB using the FORUM style better
since we can add, modify, move or merge postings.

(WPA2), which is the latest standards-based wireless security solution
derived from the IEEE 802.11i standard. It also contains Wireless

Subject: Re: Blocked IP
The site that you are wanting to download from is probably blocking your IP
address or a block of IPs which includes yours. Have you tried using
DodgeIt.com?
No need to set up an account and no need for a password. When giving out an
dodgeit email address, which is a throwable email address, use a long long
name such as:
mynameisestavimeilu@xxxxxxxxxxx
The goal here is making it hard for anyone else to come up with that same
name or address. As soon as you get verification from the site which
requires verification, just forget about the email address or you can reuse
again later when registering for another site.
Dodgeit.com - useful when you don't want to use your regular email address
and risk getting spammed to death.

In order to d/l a trial copy of a program, I had to
give them one of my other email addresses in order to
be emailed a d/l address.
When I entered my yahoo address, an error message came
up that said only "Your IP is blocked".
What does this mean or who is blocking it? Obviously
I am not blocked by Yahoo (I am still getting spam
there). Or is it the site I tried to send the email
address (******@yahoo.com) to?
Is this one of those "blacklisted" things?

Subject: Format Problem
After my PC was badly infected by malware, I reinstalled WINXP as I
have done several times in the past. First I booted from a WIN98
system floppy and used FDISK to remove drive C: leaving only drive S:
which
held all my data files. When the install was complete, device manager
told
me that I had made an error.
I now had drive C: described as the System drive, and drive E:
described as
the Boot drive. In addition, my data files were now on drive C: as
drive S:
no longer existed. I wasn't able to rename these drives, so I re
booted
and began the whole procedure anew. After several more insuccessful
installs,
I replaced my CDROM with a CD burner, backed up my data files, and
downloaded
several freeware utilities that would allow me to wipe my hard disk
clean.
Some of these utilities had to be extracted to a floppy, and thats
when I found
that my floppy drive was no longer recognizing disks. WIN EXPLORER
is unable to
view the contents of drive: A and reports that the disk is not
formatted, but
is unable to format the disc. When I run CMD and do a dir a: the
following is displayed: disk media is not responding, it may need to
be formatted. but attempts to format bring the following msg: The
type of the file system is RAW, new file system is FAT Invalid media
or track 0 is bad, disk is unusable. I've got dozens of floppies -
some with data, and some blank. I know they are not all bad.
Would appreciate all suggestions on how to get my floppy drive to
recognize the disks, and also any suggestions for some good
utilities to wipe the hard disk clean.
Thanks in advance for helping with this really big headache! Paul

Subject: Chessmaster Mahjoong Pacman and more
Hi ,
My husband passed away 7 yrs ago...a year or so later is when I first
sat down to his puter and haven't gotten up since...!!! but I had hated the
puter while he was alive because he was a computer programmer with AT&T for
47 yrs...and it took up all his time....this wife was just jealous of the
darn thing...
He tried to interest me in leaning by making me puzzles out of our
pictures,,..buying Chess Master and since I was a 16 hundred player at the
local chess club...he hoped that would interest me and it
did,...somewhat...also mahjoong I liked ...and even silly pacman for the
kids...
Now my reason for writing you today....
I have just found a box full of floppy disks...all labeled with these
familiar things I've not seen in at least 5 yrs......
I tried to open them in my windows xp...forget it ...not one would
open...
Two caused my puter screen to go black and escape key didn't work ...had
to do a... Control, Alt, Delete and be shut down to get out of them...
Is there any way to open these old Disks or are they lost and will I
find the same problem with all the floppy's I'm using now if and when I
upgrade this XP...Dell...
Very discouraging....I am ready to forget the computer altogether...It
seems they keep forcing us to buy what we don't need by purposely making
the things we're used to obsolete..I for one will not buy them over
again...just do with out ...
Hugs Always Viv...

Subject: Re: Format Problem
I was able to get rid of the unwanted partitions using the delete
function in XP setup, so now have only one large drive - C: and my CD
is D: again, instead of E: However, the floppy drive is still not
able to read any discs. It did work for a while after I installed the
new CD burner in place of old CDROM. I checked all the connections
and they look okay so perhaps my only option is to replace the drive.
Device manager reports that this drive is functioning properly, so
I'm at a loss to figure out what caused this problem.
Would appreciate any suggestions on where to look next. Thanks in
advance. Paul

Did you remove then reinstall the driver for the FD? Is your BIOS
recognizing it?
Try unplugging and then plugging back the ribbon cable that connects the FD
to the mobo.
