meara, I'm voting for clicky computery thing. You might try scouting around in the TiVoCommunity Help forums, because it might be a problem others have encountered....

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I sent an email to Hostway's tech support, and they fixed my problem within minutes! It was a problem on their end. Nice to know it wasn't me doing anything wrong. They told me they "removed my domain entry from /etc/sendmail.cw". Does that make sense, Tom?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does that make sense, Tom?
Yeah, kind of.

I have a Beige G3 which is not supported by 10.3+ I believe. Also, is Mac OS 9 still useful or is it getting too old and suffering out of date web browsers and other old operating system maladies?

You can run OS X 10.2 on a Beige G3. The biggest bottleneck is the built in video card in those machines. X runs reasonably well, but they feel painfully show due to the huge bottleneck at the video card. You can upgrade the video card, but it's a >$100 upgrade on a machine that would in total probably only sell for around $75.
OS 9 will run more quickly on the machine, but you are correct in your assumption that it is getting more and more difficult to get current web browsers and other software onto the OS.

Huh, I wouldn't think an ATI Rage would be that slow for 2D Video, but my Mac knowledge is pretty much nil. Getting an adequate 2D video card is over $100 bucks? Whoa. I'm used to making PCs out of spare parts and good 2D video is like a $20 ATI-based card away. I'm trying to keep my monatary investment in the two digit range. Actually more like the two digit range for base 6.
Also, the jumper setting I needed for the hard drive to start working was freaky.

If I want to create a direct PC to TiVo connection to transfer programs, am I correct in thinking that all I need is a hub to establish the wired connection? I have a wireless connection up now and that's how the TiVo gets its guide data, but I just want to create a mini wired network with no internet connection for faster transferring purposes.

The trick is that OS X uses the Quartz engine to do much of the screen drawing and this relies on offloading much of the work to the processor on the video card. Parts of the screen are also done with 3D processing as well.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, crap. The problem I'm having with pop-ups and sign-ins has returned. To recap: When I try to access pretty much anything that requires me to sign in (not this site, I'm signed in automatically), I get the 'screen could not be displayed' page. The problem disappeared previously when I turned off IE SP2's pop-up blocker. Now it's off, but the problem's back.
I've tried installing Firefox, but when I try to start it I get a message saying "The connection was refused when attempting to contact [insert website here]".
Anyone have any ideas on what it might be? Thanks.
