Q: 2 Questions:

1.  I find that when I leave my iMac on for a time period (over a few hours) the speed of the wireless internet connection is not as good as when I reboot the system.  Has anyone seen this?  and if so, how do you remedy this?

 

2.  I just got a Samsung SCX 3405.  It took a while to get to work, but now I am able to scan with one account onthe iMac, and not on another (the ADMIN one!)  How do I fix this?

 

Thanks!!

    Hmmm,

     

    #2...

     

    Was it installed in the Admin account, or the other one?

     

    #1...

    10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…

     

    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

     

     

    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...

     

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.

     

    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

     

    If using Wifi/Airport...

     

    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

     

    For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

     

    208.67.222.222

    208.67.220.220

     

    (There may be better or faster DNS numbers in your area, but these should be a good test).

    Click OK.

     

    If that doesn't work try changing channels on your Router.

    Thanks,  I will try this tonight.

    But do drivers get installed in only one acocunt, and not the other?  I assumed it will be available in both.  Either way, I tried to install in both, and it doesnt work.

     

    How can I uninstall, and start from scratch?

     

    Thanks!!
