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?

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.

The problem Barry in Los Angeles reported with his scanner not working is not due to SP2. I had the exact same thing on a Win 2000 computer. Apparently a scanner’s TWAIN driver is installed. That scanner is “uninstalled” but the TWAIN driver remains. Subsequent scanners (I went through 4) will not work on that system. Seems the initial TWAIN driver somehow obstructs subsequent TWAIN drivers from communicating with the device. I’m a computer tech and I’m sick of hearing people dump on SP2. SP2 has replaced virus’ as the whipping boy of computer woes.

Among all the discussion about discovering one’s own IP address, I’m a bit surprised no one mentioned the website http://www.whatismyip.com/

I only know that this works on my Mozilla browser on RH Linux, I’m curious to see what it would say on a system that uses bridges, routers, firewalls, etc.

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.

Shawn S sez For Ryan’s question, XAMPP at http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html has a package for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X that installs Apache, MySQL, PHP, and FileZilla FTP, as well as various other items depending on the OS. It’s free, and I use and recommend it.

Leo responds: Wow - I’ll say. I just tried XAMPP and it’s incredible. Highly recommended. I had Apache, PHP, Perl, MySQL, SQLite, and a bunch of other stuff installed and running in about a minute. Very very nice.

QGreg in Los Angeles - recording Sirius

He has an FM transmitter on his Sirius radio so he could pick it up with the Griffin Radio Shark.

MusicMatch
Audacity

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.

Hey Leo: Great show!! Check out (in OSX Tiger), Applications/Utilities/Network Utility. You can do all kinds of network related things there (ping, etc.) — no need to use the terminal.

Hope that helps!

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.

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?

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.

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.

KFI podcasting covers a few select shows, but not Dr Laura. In June 2005, Dr Laura’s website announced that they would support Podcasting but it looks like it fell through.

We can play her show archives with both Both Real Player and Windows Media Player on our PC but neither one gives us a downloadable MP3 file that I can move to her Ipod.

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.

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.

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.

Tech News

Microsoft has rushed out a patch for the Windows WMF volnerability. Whatever else you do today make sure to run Windows Update.

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:

  • Adobe Reader 7 (doesn’t everyone already have this??)
  • Ad-Aware SE Personal (good)
  • GalleryPlayer HD Images (10MB of nice pictures - optional)
  • Google Desktop (I use it - but some privacy concerns)
  • Google Earth (must have)
  • Google Pack Screensaver (new)
  • Google Talk (ok - Skype is better)
  • Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer (ok - but unnecessary added baggage)
  • Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar (Firefox yes, toolbar ok)
  • Norton AntiVirus 2005 Special Edition (ugh - includes 6 mos of updates)
  • Picasa (very good)
  • RealPlayer (double ugh but optional)
  • Trillian (very good also optional)

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?

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.

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.

Google didn’t announce a Google PC, but they did start selling video from CBS and the NBA. 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:

  • Adobe Reader 7 (doesn’t everyone already have this??)
  • Ad-Aware SE Personal (good)
  • GalleryPlayer HD Images (nice pictures)
  • Google Desktop (I use it - but some privacy concerns)
  • Google Earth (must have)
  • Google Pack Screensaver (new)
  • Google Talk (ok - Skype is better)
  • Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer (ok - but unnecessary added baggage)
  • Mozilla Firefox with Google Toolbar (Firefox yes, toolbar ok)
  • Norton AntiVirus 2005 Special Edition (ugh)
  • Picasa (very good)
  • RealPlayer (double ugh)
  • Trillian (very good)
