BT blocking shared connections
Sep. 2nd, 2004 05:29 pmThis is a weird one. My answer is 'get a proper router', but I'm sure this sort of setup worked for me...
My dad just got broadband. He has the iMac sitting upstairs (I've taken away the G3 pizzabox to configure for something, maybe I'll make it into a router), with the modem - originally a Frog, but I gave him my Intel one to try instead.
Connecting to the shared connection (shared to ethernet) on his G4, Netscape won't let him access alamy.com or soundclick.com. It comes up with a BT page complaining about unauthorised access.
Doesn't happen in Safari, but he's stubborn and wants to keep using Netscape (what is it with Netscape users? I hate the bloody thing almost as much as IE). After explaining to him that Kerio was working as it should and so on, I had a go at figuring this out, and frankly, I'm stumped. As far as routing goes, shouldn't the iMac just be like a normal router such as the Belkin ADSL thingy I'm using? I.E. to BT, it appears that my 15 networked machines or so are 1...
Or is my router doing something the iMac isn't. Note that I haven't knowingly set anything up at all apart from PPPoA and such, no NAT tables or confusing things. I assume the router does that automatically.
£30 CD player works fine - despite the existence of the £89 MP3-playing Blaupunkt, I don't mind saving the £50 and just burning the occasional CD to listen to. The Supra's potential expenses keep mounting, though, with the discovery that I was mislead in my belief that it has 15" wheels, they are already 16", and the tyres are £50/corner for crappy ones (I forget the name), up to £90 a corner for my favourite Michelins, with everything else recognisable being £75ish be it Firestone, Falken or whatever.
I want Yokohama, or Pirelli, I think. Nice grippy ones for a RWD car.
It's existing tyres are Kumho 'Supra'. I'm amused by this. Not sufficiently to want them on the car again, admittedly.
No parcels today and it looks like to my annoyance, I may end up winning an auction for a SCSI card that I have found a cheaper example of. Bloody rare SCSI devices. Oh well - the last one sold in Europe for Euro 254, and it's $100 that I bid for it - so if I do get it. I shall probably make enough to pay for both cards. I'd like that a lot.
Speaking of eBay - seller ID richardk66 if you fancy a NeXTStation (£25 reserve, btw), Amstrad NC100, PcW9256 or PcW16, Tandy WP3, a little SMS text-phone thingy or a CommSlot II 10Base2 Ethernet card for a PCI Mac Performa (such as 6400).
