I have found that at certain times the DHCP IP Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:57:44 GMT Allan Sutherland http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36845 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36845 Thanks Stalvi, Does all of this apply with the 802.1X WEP connection? Frankly I do not know the bit, the administrators are not very forthcoming. I have tried Wed, 10 Feb 2010 06:35:13 GMT stalvi http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36844 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36844 Ah, yes, the WEP key problem. Well, kick your sys admin's in the arse and tell them that WEP is insecure and can be broken in 15 minutes by their grandmas Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:56:16 GMT Allan Sutherland http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36843 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36843 ... Sorry for the confusion. This computer connects with the wired LAN, via ethernet, but will not connect via the wireless LAN. The network administrators Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:22:37 GMT Jim Arnott http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36842 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36842 I am confused.... Where it will not connect. wireless LAN or wired LAN? If wireless LAN, there is no "user" name. Just an SSID (network name). If wired LAN, Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:24:01 GMT Allan Sutherland http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36841 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36841 ... Hi Frank, Yes, I have done many times. I have set the wireless network, the user name, password, and certificate acceptance. But no joy. There is one Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:19:26 GMT Harry Flaxman http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36840 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36840 The only thing that the self-assigned IP address means is that the computer or router is not connected to the internet. I would double check all of the Wed, 10 Feb 2010 03:16:42 GMT frankt192 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36839 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36839 Did you look in System Preferences and Network. This has to be setup. Frank Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:34:19 GMT Allan Sutherland http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36838 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36838 Hello, Can anyone advise. I am using a macbookpro, 2.4 ghz, 4gb ram, 15 inch computer, running snow leopard, 10.6.2. At home it connects with ease to the Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:30:40 GMT Harry Flaxman http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36837 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36837 Hmm....I wouldn't consider 20 months to be a decent lifetime for the Time Capsule. Heck, I have a LaCie external that's 7 years old and not complaining a bit. Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:17:27 GMT Patrick A. Timlin http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36836 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36836 ... As already pointed out, you need at least two copies to be considering having a backup, not simply moving it to another drive. So yes, two external drives Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:22:16 GMT Gary http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36835 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36835 So, the best way to go is to get 2 external drives, say 500G apiece, and connect them to my Mac Mini which is stationary and always on. Make one the master Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:30:02 GMT Cydne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36834 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36834 The oldest backup on the 320gb external drive that is dedicated to Time Machine is August 9, 2009. However, I used Time Machine Editor (a freebie) to set Time Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:09:06 GMT stalvi http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36833 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36833 Strange, I never saw the first message. I wonder why 20 month is long? I mean, certainly a time capsule would last longer than most external drives Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:46:17 GMT Cydne http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36832 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/allmacs/message/36832 This doesn't really answer your question as asked but here's what works for me. I have 2 external drives (well, 3 if you count the dedicated Time Machine
