To keep people from having their newsletters blocked, they could register a digital signature with a trusted provider, and have the spam filters bounce the signatures with the trusted provider to prove this did come from the sender. This will make phishing harder. The trusted provider could ensure these digital signatures are sold to legitimate organizations.

Jan?. why do PC users hate MAC!! conman23456?.

 why do MAC users hate PC? I know I do!!!

Because they believe they are with the right team. People hate to be wrong. I myself run Linux and I hate mac and winbugs users. Starting that mac and PC are just hardware I can run linux on both. You really mean OSX or Winbugs :)

Just a general note:

MAC = abbreviation for Media Access Control, as in a computer’s Ethernet address
Mac = shorthand for Macintosh

For the caller who is having problems with Mac Help Viewer, Apple’s website says,

“Many Apple applications are not entirely self-contained, but rely upon “frameworks”. When these frameworks are shared by many applications, they are not contained inside the application. For example, many Apple applications that draw web pages or other HTML content use Apple’s “WebKit” framework. That framework is used by the Safari, Mail, Help Viewer, Software Update and Installer applications. WebKit is stored in /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/ .

Some application versions work only with specific framework versions. If you have installed a newer version of an Apple application, it may have installed a newer version of the framework as well. Sometimes installing a Mac OS X software update will update an application to a newer version. If you later reinstall or Archive and Install that version of Mac OS X, the newer application’s are retained but the older frameworks are reinstalled. The easiest way to resolve the issue is to reapply the application or OS updates you previously had. If this is not an option, you should delete the application that is not working and reinstall the application or Mac OS X update you previously had.

The ‘cable/router/ problem is most likley caused by having the Windows Firewall enabled. Two firewalls will cause this type of slow browsing; actually it’s blocking traffic. Turn off Windows firewall & it all should be fine. Also, make sure router is flashed to latest firmware.

11:54 by Steve - Santa Barbara?.

Additionally, if he’s using A/V like Norton Internet Security, disable any firewall there.

Dave’s modem problem may be he needs to tell the cable company he has changed modems. The cable company needs to know the new MAC address so his modem is recognized as a legitimate paying customer’s modem. Without this he may be experiencing limited connectivity.

I have a ThinkPad with built-in 802.11b, and in some hotels, it will not connect to the wireless network. If I get a wireless bridge and plug it in, it works fine. So it’s not a network issue, seems to be something specific to the ThinkPad…

I was unable to get a Linksys WUSB54G wireless USB working with the windows XP wireless monitor. It would connect to the network but it would not see the shared directories on the other computers or the internet. All other devices on the network are also Lynksys.

I tried everything to get this working including removing all evidence of any previous linksys installs from my registry since, like most software, it is not removed properly.

I gave up and reinstalled the Linksys Monitor V2, - the V4 update would not connect my WUSB54G device. The problem with V2 is the linksys monitor works for a few days or until the next Windows XP update and then starts to die everytime I transfer files.

Make sure you have Send HTML messages turned on in the Options Menu. If you have selected Text Only Messages, Pictures pasted in the composition may be considered invalid, and gray out.

You have to insert pictures into Outlook composition from the menu bar for a 100% send success rate.

Remember a composed email message is like a mini web page being transmitted to another user. The picture source has to be declared, along with a valid picture file.

Outlook 2003 has more advanced features for creating email messages.

14:08 by tax software user?.

Most folks in my office don’t do much on their own. They pick up coffee for breakfast on their way to work in the morning & buy a sandwich for lunch. I think that some people don’t use tax software because today people tend to buy services rather than do things themselves.

Years ago I volunteered on a military base where I was assigned the task of filing out (pencil & paper) tax returns for soldiers. Instead, I taught everyone who saw me how to do it themselves. Most had only one W-2 and possibly some interest income. Even a basic rental property can be a simple tax return. However, income from multiple states and non W-2 sources can get tricky.

If you installed a wireless card in you PC. You will need the drivers for it to work If you are trying to get the router to work for your system you dont need the software.

Outlook Paste problem

I have had the same problem. I noticed that when it happens if I go back and copy the text agian and paste it will work the second time.

15:00 by ToiLeTBuG.

Dave in whittier…

for your router problems try these
1st. only plug 1 pc into router and update the router’s firmware
(go here for some good input on the netgear routers)
http://portforward.com/routers.htm
2nd if its fixed and your router is ok then turn on each pc seperatly and test connectivity
3rd make sure all firewall stuff is off.

     sometimes xp’s firewall is turned on even when it says its off.(ie dissable ‘security center’ and windows firewall

if the problem persists with other pc’s on
make sure your ip addresses are not conflicting.

4th make sure in the netgear setting DHCP is on

    and check under “Mentainence” for upgrades and settings, 

I use the Netgear MR814, and so does my roomie
he had your problem and we updated firmware
after that the ip address of the router changed automatically to 192.168.1.2
after that it worked perfectly.
(well as perfectly as dsl will run counter strike source ;]…)
hope this helps…

Dave in Whittier - pages are slow to load

Same problem here at home with 4 kids and wife on wifi. Kids are downloading and using bandwith even when not at home! Prove this to yourself by entering router firmware and temporarily disbling the wifi. (I believe you are hard wired connected).
You page loading and ping will dramatically improve!

12:20 by Kavi?.

Dave in Whittier - pages are slow to load

Try to assign the DNS servers manually and get the IP addresses from the DHCP. You can get the DNS addresses from the router status page. Currently you should be getting the DNS from the router cache. This will eliminate the DNS cache issues if there are any.

The problem with the router and the cable modem, I ran into a similiar problem with my ISP. The cable company increased the bandwidth in my area, and I would have problems surfing the net. As a test I hooked the modem up to the pc directly, and it looked like the problem went away. I hooked the router back up and the problem occured a few days later.

I finnaly got a tech on the phone at my isp who was able to tell me it was the modem. I had one of the old modems which couldn’t handle the upgraded bandwidth, so I turned it in for a replacement and I have not had a problem since.
