Please see the Cisco web site for more information at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/102/wlan/mac-clients-faq.html for LEAP support. Possibly. Most home wireless networks are insecure, and do not use the Cisco LEAP authentication for access. You may need to acquire a LEAP-compatible card. Even then, you will need to configure your computer for this network.

Because the wireless network is segregated from the rest of the network, you are not required to login because you do not have access to any of the standard network assets. You have Internet access over wireless, and that is all.

Unlike Windows 9x/Me, Windows XP is secure, so you have to be logged on as a particular user--with specific rights--before you are granted network access. To make Windows 9x/Me work with Windows XP, then, you will need to ensure that the Windows 9x boxes are logged on with a user name and password that appears on the XP box. Then, you should have no problem sharing resources between the two machines.

For most classes, no. However, if you are taking a Computer Science course that requires a specific operating system, such as Windows, you can't use a Mac. Check with the instructor of the course if you are unsure. Also, at this time, most of the proprietary course content used in the Math 55 and 65 online courses cannot be accessed on a Mac.

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.

If you have a CD-RW drive on your computer, Windows XP has an integrated CD burning feature that allows you to burn data files onto recordable CDs. For Wellesley College-owned computers, there is a better CD-burning program called Roxio Easy CD-Creator that you may use. There are 2 types of recordable CDs: CD-R or CD-RW. CD-RWs are CDs that are re-writable, meaning that you may erase the CD at any time and re-use the CD to burn more files onto it.

This can be done using the beta version of iPartition from Coriolis Systems. If you purchase the software you will receive a download link that includes the link for the beta universal version. You cannot run iPartition directly on the computer that you will be installing Windows on because it cannot shrink the parition from the booted hard drive. If you have 2 Macs, connect the one that you want to install Windows on to the other in firewire mode.

Absolutely! With Windows Media® Components for QuickTime, by Flip4Mac™, you can play Windows Media files (.wma and .wmv) directly in QuickTime Player by clicking on file/open url and typing in http://media.ckua.com/broadcast Note: When connecting to Windows Media streaming servers, the Flip4Mac may try to download the requested media instead of streaming it. This can cause the stream to stutter or loop back after a few minutes of play.

In your iVisit Settings > Preferences > Video Device Menu make sure the "Recording Device" is set to the correct camera driver. If no driver option appears then reinstall the software that came with the camera and reboot.

For music applications there is no real advantage to having XP Pro. The additional features are more useful for network administrators than for most professional musicians. The S2 comes with Windows Professional for these networking reasons.

The driver is already installed, the user can login with any user rights. All that is required is to enter the password that has been set up for the "EncryptEase" disc. before extracting the data to the hard disc, the PC must have the driver installed. In order to install the driver the user must be logged in with administrator authority.Once the driver is installed, the EncryptEase disc can be used with any user level.

Microsoft is aiming to combine the features of Windows Me for the consumer, and reliability of Windows 2000 for businesses and power users into one new operating system. This operating system in its' different flavors will have new features for gaming, multimedia applications, audio, etc. in addition to features for networking, development, etc. for businesses and power users.

Windows XP comes in Professional and Home versions. Servers will also come out, but they are still in beta testing.

Windows XP Home is $99 for an upgrade copy and $199 for the full version. Windows XP Pro is $199 for the upgrade version and $299 for a full copy.

Answer - The Channel Service Unit (CSU) receives and transmits signals from and to the WAN (wide area network) line and provides a barrier for electrical interference from either side of the unit. The CSU can also echo loop-back signals from the phone company for testing purposes. Often a CSU and DSU are combined into a single piece of equipment called a CSU/DSU.

Did you unpack the Cocoon distribution with tar? It seems like "tar" is broken on macosx, you need to use "gnutar" instead to unpack the Cocoon distribution archive. See this message.

A Developer Edition of ColdFusion MX for J2EE is available for Mac OSX. It requires that a J2EE server (like JRun or Tomcat) be installed, and ColdFusion will run on top of it. At this time there is no production version of ColdFusion for OSX.

Mac-On-Linux was not written with x86 CPUs in mind, but if you feel like providing patches, it's certainly possible to add support. Since applications like vmware exist, it's not very high my list of things to do.
