The security update + Safari 3.1 + time machine update.
I dunno, I use the same old network driver. I have a nforce4 and marvell yukon, but bios-deactivated, and i access internet through firewire (using my macbook as an expensive wireless modem), but I ma pretty sure it worked before the security update, actually (i mean, it definitely worked, and pretty sure it worked with firewire/ip).
ahhh. fuck this.
ok, i am an idiot. Somehow the permissions were messed up by the update (?!), so a disk utility/repair permissions solved everything. Bizarre, though.

That's odd. Was there any update you installed recently? If so, which one?
@shitansince the software update, i can't mount internet disks. I have both an idisk and a jungle disk (which i highly highly highly recommend), and none of them will mount. error -50. is it the mds update that fucked up everything?
Do you also have the problem that you can't connect to any shared pc's in finder or connect to a server?
I'm hoping the security update wasn't the cause for this.
@shitanThe security update + Safari 3.1 + time machine update.
shouldn't be. i'm fine over here. shitan, what network driver are you using again?
Let me study this carefully.
@agrafueseshouldn't be. i'm fine over here. shitan, what network driver are you using again?
hehe, sorry, don't mean to step on your toes. by all means. i was actually asking because i had problems with network when i was using forcedeth drivers (on another osx partition, not my main one), and it just dawned on me that i had recently updated with safari + security. but the updates with skge driver are fine (for me).
no, no, I'm talking about what you said buddy. I said let me study this in my mind so I can generate a new suggestion, lol. Don't worry, =), its just me personally, lol.
@agrafuesehehe, sorry, don't mean to step on your toes. by all means. i was actually asking because i had problems with network when i was using forcedeth drivers (on another osx partition, not my main one), and it just dawned on me that i had recently updated with safari + security. but the updates with skge driver are fine…
oh, yes. now i remember the expensive wireless modem you have (i laugh about it every time, no offense). that sucks man. wish i had a suggestion. "ahhh. fuck this." <---- that's exactly how i've been feeling lately
What wireless router does he have that is so expensive?

He is using his Macbook as the router.
Permissions could have also been resolved through the Onyx Utility, but you still did good. No doubt about it.
