2003 / 10.2 Stalls at startup

Both my ibook and Beige G3 stall for about a minute at start up while waiting for "Networks"to load, is their a way to prevent this or is this a result of having Ethenet ticked in network preferences.

2003 / Force osx or os9 to startup

« on: July 08, 2003, 05:50:02 PM »

Thanks guys,
Found the articals on the G3 very usefull, anyway i finally got over the problem by installing OS 9.21 instead of OS9, this cured the problem,i'm now able to select the drives and differrrent operating systems at will and find they load with no reset problems.
again thanks for your help

2003 / Force osx or os9 to startup

« on: July 06, 2003, 06:07:59 AM »

I have a beige G3 tower which has two 4 gig hard drives installed, i have installed OS10.2 on the ultra scsi drive address 0, and OS9 on ultra scsi drive given the address 2, i have formated both apple drives using the aproprate disk utilities in 10.2 and os9.
The problem i am having is after installing os9 and using it installed on drive 2 i then want to use os10 i select it in the startup control panel and it starts up in 10 fine.
When i want to start up in os9 even thought i have selected os9 has the start up system, it begins to load os9 but resets the mac and then starts up in os10.2 .
i have reset the pram and rebuilt the desktop in os9.
both systems are clean installs.
If i disconect the drive with 10.2 installed the mac will load fine in os9.

Question?
Is there something i have done wrong that prevents me from using two drives with diffrent systems on each.
is there a keyboard shortcut to force it to start up in os9 or 10.
Why is the mac restarting when os9 begins to load, it just shows the smiling classic computer the resets, then proceeds to load 10.

any ideas would be gratfully received

Anyone know if a 19inch SuperMac monitor used with my Powermac 8100 should work with a Windows PC, i have supplied my brother with a high density lead terminating to Red,Green,Blue and Horizontal and Vertical BNC's which connects to the mointor,the picture just rolls and has lines on the  monitor display.
He has set the control panel to 19inch and 75hz.
Any ideas anyone

2003 / Delating prefences in OX10.2 ?

« on: February 02, 2003, 03:19:00 PM »

Thank Rick,
For the extra infomation about the file path, i was'nt using that path to delete the prefences ,am stll get confused with the way osx presents files and folders.
Anyway i delated the prefences via the file path suggested but i am still unable to connect via PPP ,i still get the message "an incorrect PPP option has been set", i really am at a loss apart from re-installing Osx10.2.
Thanks for giving it some thought anyway.

How can i delate the prefences for my internet and network setup in my ibook 500mhz ,i keep gettting the message "an incorrect "PPP" option as been set" even when this as been checked and found to be correct, i am also now unable to turn on file sharing it just toggles on then goes off.
i have checked the network port configurations settings,the modem is the first in the list and is set up to use the correct internal modem.
any one have any ideas please.
