Followup on PING question
Feb. 10, 2006
Southsloper, also listening via podcast
Ryan’s question restated: “How do I get name resolution (Name→IP) so I can PING <windows_pc_name> on my Mac?”. Something mentioned in Show 210: Bonjour, could be the solution. Look at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107174 to read about Multicast DNS. CathyDoser’s appending “.local” hint might mean she had Bonjour for Windows installed?

I have an IRiver T30. It does show up as a hard drive on my computer but is not named as a hard drive, it is named IRiver T30. I can download mp3s to it and they will play.

Mac user at UW-Madison listening via podcast - thus time delay.
Comments for Ryan about pinging his Windows XP from his Mac OS X computer.
On my network at our department, Network Utility can Ping my Windows XP computer by IP name and return the IP #. This may not work with a local router.

BobL says: Easiest way is to use the hosts file. Enter the name and IP and it works just like having DNS , but more manual. Mac’s must have something like a hosts file. :)
Oh, well.. :-)

As usual, John is correct.. I too passed on CES this year.. Credentials in hand be darned. Leo, I had the pleasure of meeting you at CES a couple of years ago.. I was convinced I would be there every year.
Well, one of my servers crashed and I skipped CES.

Dan M Suggests:
I’ve been recording radio and other line-in things for years. I used Cool Edit as my editor and Music Match to convert to MP3, but a year ago I discovered the MP3 Sound Recorder from Tong Soft. It’s fairly inexpensive and does simple recording in .wav or .mp3 formats. But the thing this does that other programs didn’t at the time was it can setup recording times. So you can tell the thing to record from 10:50am to 2:10pm from the line in on your computer. Or like me via KFI’s web feed from 1:50pm-5:10pm each Saturday and Sunday, then let it do it’s thing. Your file will be waiting where you told it to record to when you get back.

If anyone thinks that Mac HARDWARE has been reliable over the years, you are WAY OFF TRACK! Just look at sites like MacFixIt.com, MacIntouch, MacNN etc. to see YEARS, nay DECADES of user complaints!
Apple sells junk designed and made in the sweatshops of China since 1999.
Here’s a short list of DOCUMENTED Hardware Problems:
G3 PowerMac’s- ATA Controllers that Corrupt HDD’s
G4 PowerMac (early-) Power-on buttons that caught fire.
G3 PowerBooks Wallstreet thru Pismo - Broken Top Hinges, Shorting recharge circuits and more.
G4 PowerBooks (TiBooks)- Peeling Cracking exterior Paint, LCD problems, WiFi issues, Broken Hinges
G4 PowerBook (cuurent)- Over-Heating, Dead SDRAM Slots, Cloudy LCD displays, more
G5 PowerMac’s- Power supply failures, Over-heating, and more.
G4 iMacs - Power supply (back plane) failures
The misconception that Macs are reliable or Quality is a Total Distortion Field laid out by Apple and Radio pimps like Leo.
SparkieInParadise adds: Warning to those new to HDTV - standard definition (SD) TV will most likely look WORSE on the HDTV set you are drooling over, than the conventional TV that you upgraded from.

I had the same problem with my Canon scanners. They stopped working with an “unable to open Twain driver” msg. The fix from MS was to create a new user acct. Something got corrupted in the old acct, and there is now way to repair it.
Barry-
I think that you could just deleat the TWAIN driver from the WINDOWS/twain_32/. It should be protected by windows and the file will automaticly be replaced. Don’t try until someone makes sure the file will be replaced

Barry,
After you set up the new user, you can just switch users when you want to use the scanner. I am too lazy to try and get back to having only 1 user acct.
owine’s comment is correct, but you can setup DHCP to assign the same address to a machine each time.

I suggest NOT using DHCP but assign the address into windows xp so that the same address will always be obtained from the router… (Windows computer will always have the same address) this site explains it well. http://www.hotcomm.com/FAQ/FAQ_staticIPXP.asp#static_assign
Barry,
After creating a new user acct, you will have to install the scanner software while logged into the new acct. Before you do that, however, uninstall the scanner software.

Re. Radio Shark
I was disappointed with it. It’s software was very elementary and the device itself was lousy on AM radio — very sensitive to placement and direction — nothing close to average reception quality of an ordinary AM radeo.

Hi Steve this is Carol in Anaheim Hills working on a Captivate project while listening to the show. I think Captivate is safe simply becuse it deploys its content as Flash files and I’m sure that Flash was the major incentive for the Adobe takeover.

John C. Dvorak says he can do CES without ever stepping foot in Las Vegas — he’s certainly put together a great list of feeds — and frankly, given the dearth of interesting announcements this week, I’m thinking he might be right. Everyone knows Leo is a pimp for Apple.

Dan says: from the mac terminal, type “ping computername.local” without quotes - replace computername with your Windows machine’s name. This solution requires you have file sharing turned on with the windows computer.
Illuminati says: You can obtain the IP using the computer name from Terminal. Simply enter the command ‘smbutil lookup COMPUTERNAME’ where computername is the computer’s name. For example, if my PC’s name is ‘Virtualinferno’, I would type in ‘smbutil lookup Virtualinferno’ (without the quotes) and it will return the IP address.
CathyDoser says: To get the IP address by ping-ing the other machine, use Network Utility, go to the Ping tab, then type in the name of the machine with .local appended to the end. I would look like this: name.local where name was the name of the Windows machine.
owine says: go to the router’s page (probably http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1) and find the DHCP client table. it will list the computer name and IP address.

I think that you could just deleat the TWAIN driver from the WINDOWS/twain_32/. It should be protected by windows and the file will automaticly be replaced. Don’t try until someone makes sure the file will be replaced

QBrett in Fallbrook - default Spam Assassin score
The default is five (and in fact that’s what I use) but you can set it as low as 4 and not have too many false positives.
I, in fact, use three layers of spam filtering (and I need it since I get over 1 million spam messages a month at leoville.com). All my mail goes through a commercial anti-spam service, mailroute.net. They catch the vast majority of spam with zero false positives. Then I use Spam Assassin on my spam server to get another chunk, and I use a local spam filter to capture anything that sneaks through. With this system I get only messages that are not absolutely spam (although I may consider them to be) and good email with zero false positives.
QLarry in Moreno Valley - Is EVDO a good alternative for high speed internet
Yes. T-Mobile offers flat fee data, you can use its phone for both calls and Internet. If you can get a good signal I think it’s a good choice. EVDO is not as fast as broadband but it’s a lot faster than dialup.

Pinging broadcast may not recieve reply from all devices. Results may vary, try pinging the network address as well. x.x.x.0 for a /24 subnet.
I agree with Anonymous that network utility has a ping function in it which should work.
Installed Windows update and now would like to re-register that Metafile .dll that was unregistered as part of the protection steps from the WMF Metafile flaw. Can someone post a script that would do this from the “Run” command.
Are you planning to uninstall your anti-virus at the same time? (Dumb idea.)
To get the IP address by ping-ing the other machine, use Network Utility in the Utilities Folder, go to the Ping tab, then type in the name of the machine with .local appended to the end. I would look like this: name.local where name was the name of the Windows machine.
RE: Scanner issues with XP SP2— I bet there are start up app issues- maybe he has turned off some start up apps in msconfig/ startup or there is a conflict with another start up app that hangs the twain drivers. Just an idea…

I had the same problem with my Canon scanners. They stopped working with an “unable to open Twain driver” msg. The fix from MS was to create a new user acct. Something got corrupted in the old acct, and there is now way to repair it.

I think that you could just deleat the TWAIN driver from the WINDOWS/twain_32/. It should be protected by windows and the file will automaticly be replaced. Don’t try until someone makes sure the file will be replaced

All you have to do is create a host file on each computer named “hosts”. Save it in the appropriate location. I don’t know where the appropriate location whould be on a Mac, but on Windows its C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetc. The content should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost ← Don’t change this
192.168.1.10 MacComputerName
192.168.1.11 WinComputerName
The IP numbers and names should reflect your real numbers and names.
Of course, you would have to know the right names and numbers ahead of time.

686′s suggestion would work if you had a static ip address. but DHCP with routers can assign a different IP at each startup so this isnt the best solution.

some routers have a DHCP that can be set to assign the same local IP to a particular PC via its MAC address, so you can have the convenience of universal DHCP with the convenience of static IPs. Lots less typing! D-Links do it, e.g.
Hi Francis -
The show archives on DrLaura.com are audio streams only. I have been trying all week long to save those files into itunes without success.
Regarding Ryans problem, why not go about it the other way and instruct the router to give the PCs MAC address a reserved IP, then use the hosts-file on the Mac to specify a name for that IP, or something like that.

I think it’s a mixed bag made less desirable by the addition of Norton and RealPlayer (fortunately both are optional). How is this sack of junk any better than the lard HP or Dell lades into their systems? At least you can customize the list before you download it all. And the installer is smart, small, and can resume downloads. It detected that I had Firefox, for example, but needed an update which it installed. Now this they should give away.

QVictoria in Pasadena - what is Backweb?
She’s getting a request to update from something called Backweb on her HP computer. That’s normal (if a little annoying). You’re right to be concerned but in fact HP does use a program called Backweb to push updates to your computer. If possible I’d check to see what exactly Backweb wants to update. And do make sure to check the certificate to make sure it really is HP pushing the data. Read HP’s Backweb FAQ for more information.

All you have to do is create a host file on each computer named “hosts”. Save it in the appropriate location. I don’t know where the appropriate location whould be on a Mac, but on Windows its C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc. The content should look like this:

Illuminati says: You can obtain the IP using the computer name from Terminal. Simply enter the command ‘smbutil lookup COMPUTERNAME’ where computername is the computer’s name. For example, if my PC’s name is ‘Virtualinferno’, I would type in ‘smbutil lookup Virtualinferno’ (without the quotes) and it will return the IP address.

Hi Steve this is Carol in Anaheim Hills working on a Captivate project while listening to the show. I think Captivate is safe simply becuse it deploys it’s content as Flash files and I’m sure that Flash was the major incentive for the Adobe takeover.

Ryan from TN wants to know how to use a Mac to ping other machines. He wants to use the Windows computer name to locate these machines. A DNS server is required to resolve computer IP addresses from names. Often, routers provide DNS services to the network. For naming to be resolved, all computers need to be pointed at the router as the main DNS server. Leo suggests that the DHCP table on the router would be a useful way to locate the IP of computers on the network.
QBarry - Epson scanner is having trouble. Is SP2 compatible?
The TWAIN drivers have been damaged by SP2. Is the Epson scanner recognized by Windows at all?
QBarry in Los Angeles - my USB scanners won’t work
Another casualty of the Service Pack 2 update to XP. SP2 is a must, but it does cause many problems. In this case two USB scanners he’s tried won’t work. That’s almost certainly a problem with the TWAIN drivers. Microsoft has replaced TWAIN with WIA (Windows Image Acquisition).

QSteve in Murrieta - Adobe buys Macromedia
Which programs will survive merger? Flash, of course. Fireworks might be subsumed by ImageReady. Dreamweaver should eat GoLive. Almost certainly Illustrator will kill Freehand. The rest should live.
QRyan in Tennessee - how can I get my Windows IP address from my Mac?
He can ping his Mac by name and get the ip address. How can he do the same from the Mac for his Windows machine?
Of course you can get the Windows IP by clicking Start→Run enter cmd<return> and entering ipconfig but he doesn’t want to get up.

Oh Leo! The CES is “such a waste of time” … yeah maybe cause you’re such an Apple Pimp. I went to CES for three days and the technology INNOVATION THERE is real, not the junk Apple has designed and MADE in Communist China in Sweatshops for pennies and hour!
Macworld is not the main act, it’s the FINAL CURTAIN for Apple Computer - MacIntel: “Think Just Another Me Too Chinese PC Clone”

News from CES
John C. Dvorak says he can do CES without ever stepping foot in Las Vegas — he’s certainly put together a great list of feeds — and frankly, given the dearth of interesting announcements this week, I’m thinking he might be right.
Google didn’t announce a Google PC, but they did start selling video from CBS and the NBA. (Robin Williams joined Google president Larry Page on-stage to riff about it.) And they announced the Google pack a bunch of free software with a built-in updater. Windows only. Download it from pack.google.com if you need:
I think it’s a mixed bag made less desirable by the addition of Norton and RealPlayer (fortunately both are optional). How is this sack of junk any better than the lard HP or Dell lades into their systems? At least you can customize the list before you download it all. And the installer is smart, small, and can resume downloads. It detected that I had Firefox, for example, but needed an update which it installed. Now this they should give away.
Tivo announces their Series 3 - the first HD Tivo including support for CableCARD.
Palm announces the Treo 700w running *gasp* Microsoft’s Windows Mobile.
The Sony Reader may be the most interesting gadget at the show. A $300–400 eBook reader with a very readable screen and the ability to store thousands of books in PDF or Sony eBook format with a reported 15-book battery life. eBook readers will happen eventually, but this is still too expensive and bulky.
Microsoft announced some content deals with DirecTV and MTV - Justin Timberlake joins Bill on-stage. Vista will be great. This is the Digital Decade. Blah blah blah.
Intel announces something and Tom Cruise makes an appearance. Do you get the feeling these companies bring in these guys just to make what they’re saying interesting. Why does it all feel like the opening act for Apple’s (and maybe Intel’s?) announcements next week?

I put in the WMF patch from GRC.com that was installed via the contorl panel > Add or Delete. The other day MS sent me the auto-update file to fix the problem and I installed it before uninstalling the GRC.com temp fix. I then uninstalled the temp fix.
My question is did I uninstall the MS fix by uninstalling the GRC.fix? If I did when I go to MS update area it seems to think I have their fix and no problem. Just want a confirmation my box is still safe>? How can I prove to myself the fix is in my box and not uninstalled after uninstalling the GRC.com Ilfak Guilanov temp fix?
Thanks for your advice.

Leo, does one who has downloaded Ilfak’s temporary patch need to remove it once the Microsoft patch has been downloaded or will they live in harmony with each other?

Remove it before you install the window update, even the author recommend it. a friend of mine installed the Microsoft patch over and had some issue with the whole thing even if the two are quite similar.
