Featured Ran into a psychic with real power today

Apparently I didn't make myself clear. One Mac can't connect. We have several iPads that have no problem.

I will reiterate: your examples of networks are NOT the same as what we're running. When you can tell me that you know how to set up security profiles on your Walmart-special home router as opposed to an industry standard $10,000 Cisco; establish defense-in-depth firewalls, honeypots, and sandboxes; set up both white and black lists; distinguish between MAC (*not* an Apple thing) addressing and dynamic DNS; and that you know your security configurations are compliant for FERPA and HIPAA; and that your network and systems are ready for ransomware; and that you're comfortable taking care of 27 servers supporting 2,500 users -- then, and only then, may you tell me that my networks are set up wrong.

I'll wait patiently for you to address each of those topics, or an apology. Your choice.

 

Brother, I would exhort you to not entertain yourself with these things. I believe it is akin to looking into and being fascinated with the occult. There was a time when people referred to these things as curiosities. There were times when I looked into this as well and the Lord convicted me about it as partaking in witchcraft. I don't believe people should entertain themselves with these things.

Nor is it good to rationalize that you are learning something by it. Everything you need to know is in Scripture.

 

I'll accept that as your apology. And thanks for asking, but I'll leave it to the professionals.

 

Yeah, I checked out that site. Near as I can tell, they still haven't helped you with your Mac/Thunderbird issue; so I'll keep working with my industry reps. It's a setting either in the system, or with the particular user account, on that particular Mac.

 

Took a look around Macrumors. For devices that "just work" there sure is a lot of people that have problems with them. Evan seems to have a lot of issues based on the number of posts he's made at that site.

 

As ITL said -- I thought you mentioned that Apples "just work." Did you mean they "just work with Apple products"? Which leads back to something said several pages ago about Apple being proprietary....

This is my last post in this thread. I stand by my statement: Determine what you're going to use the tool for. Buy the right tool for the job. If two tools will do the same job, buy the one that's better for you. But if you buy a tool based on your personal preference, then don't recommend it to others as being the best tool for the job. You need to identify why it's the best tool for the job. "Cause I like it" or "cause I said so" is absolutely the wrong advice.

 

Lord, save us from the multiple devices of the enemy.
