  1. Firefox on the mac is not so good.

     

    Use Safari. Or if you're looking for something slightly faster than Safari, try WebKit.

     

    WebKit is a rendering engine. When you run it, it'll open Safari, but switch to the WebKit rendering engine. It's a bit faster than Safari and is updated practically nightly.

    Proxy settings for Safari are located in the Networks Preference Panel

  2. PCs and Macs use different network protocols designed for the different types of computers. There are ways to get around this. You might need to install software to adapt your odd machine out. Probably making the PCs think the Mac is family.

     

    Read up here.

     

    Mmmm...Standards...never heard of them.

    TCP/IP is available on Macs and PCs.

     

    Basically, from what i can make out, you've got something disabling multicasting. You need to enable samba drives on your Mac for your pc to be able to access the drives. On Windows you need to share the drives and the printer and ensure that Multicasts are available to be sent.

     

    Hamachi, is a VPN, doesn't really work if you're on a local network.

     

    I would suggest that the problem would be Firewall related.

  3. i wouldn't use an SSD on a machine that has a swap.

    SSDs have limited writes. If you're sticking windows or linux on their, they'll rip through the writes really quickly.

     

    with linux you can use it in "cd" mode, or whatever, which allows you to not use a swap.

  4. Take a picture.

    Post it in a spoiler.
