That's good enough reasoning for me. I'll take the monkey. But this is a one time affair, everyone else on this thread aside from TurnWRX needs to make a formal application before giving me the monkey.

****, gotta monkey myself again. Twice in one day.

Good luck makin' it work TurnWRX.

ps - honestly, I can't stand working on Mac's, but it's mostly because we only have two here (and 400+ DELLS!) When you don't work on something frequently, you forget how to fix it.

 

macs don't like windows media files.

That is most likely your issue right there.

 

Check the Finder preferences, click on the desktop then on the menu go Finder -> Preferences. Attaching a photo for clarity.

 

If it is a PC ISO CD it is possible it wont show up in the Finder.
What OS version are you running?
The Newest WMP is available with MSN for MacOSX, which is lame cause you have to install MSN to get get it, and then delete MSN, cause like why would you want that?
.wmv files should play fine, once you can reach them.

 

since you guys started on the mac topic, i have a mac related question:

i was given the task to setup airport at work to an existing LAN in the office, so that a wireless powerbook could be connected. being a pc person, i am pretty clueless as it comes down to macs. I plugged the airport into an open port on the existing hub. I get internet connection from the powerbook, but i cannot see the other computers in the network, anyone know how I could fix this problem?

 

You have to setup windows file sharing
blah i havent used my power book in two months its some where in networking prefrences off of the apple thinige in the top left hand corner.

 

vapor: Most likely the AirPort base station is acting as a router, setting up its own network behind the base station.

Simply uncheck "Distribute IP Addresses" in the AirPort admin utility, as shown here:

Then your wireless clients will act as if they were connected to the wired LAN.

 

thanks necromancer, unchecking that box works.

p.s. your sn reminds me of my diablo 2 days. haha

 

I'm actually working with our network IT right now. Trying to get the new network hooked and everything talking....PITA...big time.

Is appletalk active? Try that.
