 5/2    I have an Apple Wireless keyboard, one of the Bluetooth jobbies.  It
        tends to momentarily lose connection a lot - oddly enough, it seems
        to happen every time I sit at my desk.  Is this normal?  Is bluetooth
        just an ass protocol?
        \_ it's your keyboard going into powersave
        \_ I use a DLINK bluetooth thingie and it is rock-solid. I don't even
           notice that it's wireless. The older DLink BT modules had problems,
           but the newer ones rock.
           \_ ps: I also have a powered usb hub that the BT module is plugged
              into.
        \_ I just got a Mac Mini and have it connected via the DLINK bluetooth
           USB connector. I never have a problem, except when I leave the
           room for too long and the screen goes into hybernate mode,
           or whatever Mac calls it. Then I have to push the button on
           back of my computer and wait like 15 seconds for everything
           to turn back on. Perhaps you have interference? Is your bluetooth
           right next to your 802.11 LAN? How about your phone?

4/25    I have an Airport Express.  is there some way to let computer
        1 ping computer 2?  both computers are connected to wireless network
        successfully.  I can get to internet on both of them.  I just can't
        ping each other.  weird.  maybe they think that's a feature?
        \_ Sounds like your router is enforcing client isolation. If you can't
           change the setting on the router you're probably SOL.

12/15   ausman, maybe this can help form your views on net neutrality:

11/11   I want a home nas so my laptops aren't always running out of space,
        what's a good buy?
        \_ I did a bunch of research and ended up with Dlink DNS-321. It
           is newer than DNS-323 with less problems. It doesn't have as
           much buffer as DNS-323, but if you're transfer files bigger
           than 32 megs, the sustained rate for both are equivalent. I

11/11   Dumb question. My apartment has a bunch of inter-computer file
        exchange going on. Should I get a switch instead of a router to
        minimize traffic? Does it really make a difference? Let's say
        two computers exchanging info with each other are on the switch
        and the switch is connected to the router. The router will never
        know about the transfer between the two computers right?

9/29    I'm looking for a new wireless router / firewall, preferably
        something that supports 802.11n. Any recommendations?
        \_ Which 802.11n?
           \_ Draft 2.0 or whatever version is supported by the the
              MacBook and iMac.
