Why is the use of 192.168.15.* so important to you, just out of curiosity? Why not just move them all to 192.168.2.*? They'll still be static, just a slightly different static...
Part of it is sheer incredulity and stubbornness as a techie.
The utility I use to share under OS9 had troiuble with DHCP. My machines, including the ones I don't turn on much and the hard drive I use for ghosting, have a static IP, which I've carefully labeled.
I also have friends whose computers I have set up so if they have problems, I can plug their laptops into my LAN and select the confiuration.
When I couldn't set up my OSX sharing to conform to an existing LAN, I started wondering "WTF?" What if I was setting the same up elsewhere, etc.
After a while it became an exercise in denial. It baffles me that Apple made that decision.
However, even my stubborn geekiness must give way when it is proven I'm not crazy, and it is actually not an easily available setting...
Until such time as a hardwarwe solution is available to me, I shall change to 192,168,2,x to make my foray into OSX and forget about this conundrum.
phew. Thanks again for everyone's help/
Goodnight!
random question that no one may be able to answer. when i tape things on my VCR and then watch the tape in a VCR that is not my own, the sound is crappy. you have to turn the tv up really loud and it's all static-y. any guesses why this is happening? it plays fine on my VCR though. it's really frustrating.
I had that problem too, with an old VCR. I don't know the technically specific reason, but I chalked it up to selfishness on part of the VCR. It didn't want its tapes going into anyone's slots but its own.

hmm...well this one is about a year old. maybe not even that. it's a VCR/DVD combo by Zenith.

now this makes perfect sense.

Sounds like the audio record head is misaligned. A repair tech might be able to fix that for you. Generally the audio head has a screw that allows it to be adjusted minutely up and down to get it into range.

Speaking of VCRs, the other day someone was asking about a problem, too.

I've downloaded Firefox, and am using it on my secondary machine.
I went to peek at the themes and extensions, and am now dizzy. If I want mouse gestures, I have three options. If I want a new theme, I have many many options, but I can't seem to find out how to preview and compare.
I totally get the philosophical background to the flexible user-driven extensibility of the product. How do I make it manageable?

will that cost me an arm and a leg? any idea?
I adore Craigslist. It got me my apt. this summer.
It got me my girlfriend. I win!
So I installed my new motherboard and it all went spivvy until I switched it on.
I get as far as the Windows 2000pro Built on NT technology bit then it's blue screen of death with this message:
STOP 0X0000007B (0XEB81B84C, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Then blah, blah, yadda, yadda, not important stuff.
Can anyone recommend a Mac-based program that will read VCDs? (Preferrably OS 9.1 compatible, though I have a 10.2.8 machine available at work.) I've tried system 9 versions of iMovie and Real Player with no success, and Quicktime and Windows Media Player can't even tell that there are any files present.
