    back to my mac on PCCW

    I wanna use back to my mac - it says "simply" log in to mobile me..

    it works between my office computer and my colleagues home (he's not PCCW)

    we are sharing a mobile me acc just for work...

    At home I am PCCW 0 and I have a timecapsule as well ( 4 router port? wireless extender and drive )


    at first it said not working - but after undating from 10.6.4 to 10.6.7 and disabling NAT it says it works..'


    unfortunately not tho...


    I use the time capsule to power my home wireless ( as the modem was crapping out on it's wireless )

    the problem is I cant get BTMM to work!

    would be very handy!!

    We have got it to work with a pccw connection ... Once or twice.... VERY unstable.

    I am going to have to switch from PCCW to something else, because many US based web services that I use have blocked PCCW's IP address. I think because of excessive spam or something. It took 2 months of tech calls and research to figure this out too.

    Wasn't aware of mass blocking of pccw. Care to share the details these US based services that have blocked pccw?

    actually I have an intense dislike for PCCW - my contract has expired...

    any other options - in the sai kung area?

    Didn't tweak anything. Have no knowledge of what to tweak! It just sometimes worked but mostly did not.
