iChat Picture Pages

Historical Document

These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superseded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.

I will make attempts to renew and refresh Links to either the most current site or use the Way Back Machine Archive so that people can at least look at what was used. I will make Edit Notes on this and on those where I can find no link to replace the older one as I go through the document.

Thomson-Alcatel Modem DHCP settings

This Alcatel's DHCP Page. You navigate Via Advanced > DHCP, as shown by the yellow highlights and arrows.

Next you make sure both the left tabs are red.

Then you can select to turn Off DHCP in this device. This would mean that any Router or computer connected directly to it would have to be set to Static Routing.

Information Block

This site is about iChat from Version 1 through to iChat 5.x.x
Mostly this is kept as an Historical Document. Some small tense changes have been made but the content is by and large untouched.

It has a mixture of basic info and problem solving help.

The sections below will change for Specifics about info on the page on view

Options to This Page

To the right you can resize or colour the page as well as choose one of three Fonts.

About This Page

This is the Thomson-Alcatels's DHCP main page.

Compared to most other devices it can be set to Auto DHCP which checks out if there is more than one DHCP server and turns itself Off if there is.

The Server Leases would allow you to control how long a IP was given to a Device (computer). The DHCP relay is where theis device can be a bridge with another DHCP Server, similar to the DHCP Auto setting but more specific. The Address Pools allows you to set the range of IPs that are used by the DHCP server much like the Linksys using only using 50 of the 255 potentials a sit's default.

Compatibility

Much of this page has been altered to be as HTML 5 compatible as possible. This may cause issues with any of the Browser below.

I have tested in Safari 18.1, Firefox 130.x and 131.0, Vivaldi 6.9.3447.48 and iCab 6.2.3 (All Mac Browsers) I don't have access to a PC let alone multiple browsers to test on.

Previously confirmed to work with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed), Firefox 2, Safari 3, Opera 9, iCab 3.02 and later, Mac/IE 5, Netscape 6 and later

Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) may only see a text-based page which, while not the prettiest option, is still entirely usable.
