Forums Today: TCP/IP dropped connections; Mouse not behaving; more

New and noteworthy from the MacFixIt Forums:

TCP/IP Dropouts A long thread on problems with dropped connections using Global Village modems - with a kind reference to Sad Macs, which apparently had the solution.

Mouse Not Behaving A surprisingly long thread (it's now over two pages) on the problem where a mouse refuses to track in the vertical direction. We mentioned this thread once back in October, when the thread was shorter, and also covered this issue on the Late-Breakers back in July.

ATI Xclaim VR 128 installation difficulties: The title pretty much explains what you will find here.

iMac firmware updater not activated by Programmer's buttonIt may be that this new Apple TIL article is the "solution" to the problem described in this thread.
