I need help I am having internet issues through my apple airport and I switched on the internet tab from Connect using "Static" to "DHCP" and now it needs my router address and I have no idea.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I think maybe I found it in "network" in my system preferences.

ok, I got my airport back working, but I am getting no internet connection when I connect it to my modem.
I get internet when I connect my modem directly to my computer.

Hey. New board.
I roll my own with Google drive plus an external hard drive. Probably not the best option but works for my needs.

Tom, I use Acronis. Seems to work moderately well but I have to remember to plug in my external hard drive occasionally to allow it to be backed up too...

If someone is a complete beginner with GitHub, what are some essential things they should know? My new contract job uses GitHub as their content management system, and I want to go in with being aware of whatever the common mistakes are.

Hey. New board.
Are you familiar with git itself?

Coding and Sleeping
There's nothing especially unique to GitHub over other git hosts (Gitlib, Bitbucket, etc...)
Typical git workflow is that you clone the repository you need. (git clone ...) then you switch to the branch you need to work on (git checkout [branchname]) or create a new one (git checkout -b [branchname]).
Something to keep in mind here is that if you when you create a new branch it exists only locally on your computer.
You change/add/delete files.
To commit your changes is a two part process. First you stage your changes with the 'git add' command. You can specify individual files to stage or stage them all by going to the root of your project and executing it there. (git add .)
You can see the current status of version control with the command 'git status'. This will let you see what files are staged and which files are modified but not staged.
Once your files are staged, you can commit with 'git commit'. Usually this will include a comment. (git commit -m 'My commit comments')
When you commit your changes they are committed locally, they will not be in the Github repo. To do that you need to push the commit. This can be done with the command 'git push origin'. Here, 'origin' is the name of the remote repository. By convention 'origin' is the name of the central repository. If you are working on a new branch you can use the '-u' option to connect your branch to the remote branch on 'origin' (GitHub). (git push -u origin).
