I went on a domain downsizing program a few years ago. I was outta control. And I think that means, they signed up for the thing that secures your domain name so people can't hijack it. Or something.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I finally let bigwhitepanties.com disappear into the ether. That hurt much more than it should have. Someone registered it, but there's no there there.

All is well that ends in pizza.
What an idiot.
According to this article [link] Apple allowing dual boots will mean an exodis from Macs to Windows.
Yeah, we are all poor lost souls, who need to see the light and we have only been afraid to make that switch.
Unbelievable.

ok, I am on a G4ibook and I need to do something about opening TCP and UDP connections. I have Sharing opened in System Preferences, but I do not know where to find a port # which I am being asked to test to make sure said TCP and UDPs are open. Help?

What version of OSX is it? You should be able to gget somewhere clicking on "Firewall"
I'd check it, but I have something wrong with mine on 10.3.x...
Hmmm, does this help? [link]

Sometimes the Help menu or online support area of whatever app you're trying to use will let you know which port range the app defaults to.

When I try to test the TCP ports on the app, I get NAT Error.

If this is the app I think it is, you need to enable port forwarding on the range of ports you're allowing it to use.
On my setup, it's done through the router settings, which means going to 192.168.1.1 in a browser window, and into the "Forwarding" tab under Advanced Settings. Put in the port numbers you want to enable, tick both the "TCP" and "UDP" boxes, enter your computer's IP address*, and then tick "enable" and hit the "apply" button.
*You can find this by going to "About This Mac" under the apple menu in the Finder, and then clicking the "More Info" button. When the System Profiler comes up, look under "Network".
