Connect to one wireless network when multiple networks with the same name

Hi all,
I'm at a location where there are two networks with the name (e.g.) "wireless". One uses WEP and one uses WPA. The WEP network is weaker than the WPA network, so my Mac tries to connect to the WPA network, even though I have manually setup the wireless network with WEP security (after trying to connect it asks for a WPA password). Is there a way that I can connect to a wireless network by MAC Address, or some way for me to tell the Macbook to ignore the WPA network? The problem is that the SSID is the same, it seems.
Thanks,
Nate

The person (the landlord) isn't tech-savvy at all.
That is clearly obvious as
1. They would not be using WEP
2. They would setup a different SSID
WEP is not secure and can be cracked in minutes using tools readily available on the internet. If a hacker gain access to that network they could run other tools and hijack the dns and then you could be visiting sites on your mac that are completely bogus but look real.
Also it is common trick that hackers use is to setup an access point nearby with the sane SSID to capture details from users that join their network thinking they have joined their own network. Again the hacker can hijack the dns and monitor all your browsing and capture details.
The fact that someone has setup an SSID nearby with the same name would make me very suspicious.
I would treat your landlord's network as an untrusted network same as when your using a public wifi like coffebucks.

    Generally adding a common album artist will fix things.

    QA: Yes - try again with legacy-collection true and false.
    Doc: No
    Checkintests: Pass
    Details: Another try in fixing this bug. When legacy-collection is false, Actionscript Array on the client becomes Java Array on the server and my fix yesterday assumed this case. However, when legacy-collection is true, Actionscript Array becomes Java ArrayList on the server. So added code to handle this case.

    Hi all!
    Just to post the solution to this if anyone ever runs accross this thread...
    For some reason i had it bad the first time, don't have time right now to see why but here is what worked for me:
    HashMap primaryFile = new HashMap();
    primaryFile.put("fileContent", bFile);
    primaryFile.put("fileName", uploadedFile.getFilename());
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("primaryFile", primaryFile);
    HashMap customDocMetadata = new HashMap();
    HashMap [] properties = new HashMap[1];
    HashMap customMetadataPropertyRoom = new HashMap();
    customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("name", "xRoom");
    customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("value", "SOME ROOM");
    properties[0] = customMetadataPropertyRoom;
    customDocMetadata.put("property", properties);
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("CustomDocMetaData", customDocMetadata);
    Basically an unbounded wsdl type is an array of objects (HashMaps), makes sense, i thought i had it like this before, must have messed up somewhere...
    Good luck all!

  • XOQ-01950: Cube contains multiple BuildSpecifications with the same name.

    Hi All ,
    While executing the Maintain Cube option it is throwing below issue : Any Clue ?
    XOQ-01950: The AWCubeOrganization for cube "NN_OLAP_POC.MARKET_SALES_CUBE" contains multiple BuildSpecifications with the same name.
    Thanks,
    DxP

    This error should only show up when you create a cube (by importing XML), not when you maintain it. So I will assume that this is what you mean.
    If you import XML that refers to an OLAP object that already exists, then the new definition overrides the old one. The only exception to this rule is the BuildSpecification object. This kind of object is named, but it does not follow these conventions (for messy implementation reasons). If you import XML that has a BuildSpecificaiton with the same name as one that already exists, then you will trigger the error you see. Here is an example of the relevant XML.
    <BuildSpecifications>
    <![CDATA[BUILD SPEC LOAD_AND_AGGREGATE
      LOAD NO SYNCH,
      SOLVE
    ) ]]>
    </BuildSpecifications>The workaround is to delete this section from the XML before importing it.

  • Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

    Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

  • Can iTunes sync multiple songs with the same name?

    My iTunes library has multiple songs with the same name (but they point to different files on the filesystem).
    Curiously when iTunes syncs to my iPhone it will only ever sync two of the files, even if more exists. I suspect what is happening is described below, but I have no way of verifying it:
    Let's assume I have 5 songs named IdenticalName, on the filesystem these are named IdenticalName.mp3, IdenticalName 1.mp3, IdenticalName 2.mp3, and so on.
    I suspect iTunes is syncing the filename without a number postfix, and the file with the "1" postfix and not continuing with the rest of the files.
    Has anyone seen similar behaviour? Did you find a workaround (other than renaming your tracks)?

    can you manually discover the new instances on the new server?
    Then just make sure the name that appears in Grid Control is different.
    e.g. prod.world is on server A and B. When you discover in Grid control, you can make it prod_B and you will see the latter without any problem.

  • Writing to multiple tags with the same name

    Hi,
    I am writing to multiple tags with the same name but in different groups. I have noticed only the tag from the first group gets updated. How can I write to a tag in a specific group in this scenario?
    Regards,
    Chanti.

    Heres what I found.
    When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<Group>.<TagName>", the outcome was "Message
    Could not add "<Group>.<TagName>" to the response list.
    Message
    No tags selected."
    When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<TagName>", it seemed like it worked fine.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi again,
    this may be old news to some people, but I just realized we can have the desired benefits I originally listed (encapsulation, reuse, maintainability, security) TODAY by using pipelined functions and using the table() function in Apex report region queries.
    So the report query basically becomes, for example (if get_employees is a pipelined function)
    select * from table(my_package.get_employees(:p1_deptno))
    The only downside compared to a (weakly typed) sys_refcursor is that you have to define the type you are returning in your package spec (or as an SQL type). So it's a bit more coding, but it's still worth it for the other benefits it provides.
    I like Apex even better now! :-)

  • Why do I see multiple users with the same name as an output of "users"

    Recently, I found a peculiar thing when I typed "users" in the terminal. There were three users with the same name. After restart(power went down) I now see only one user there. Is this normal and why it can be happening? Why are there duplicate users sometimes?

    alphaniner wrote:
    Well now I'm confused. My xterm (xfce4-terminal) has that option disabled but I still get a user entry for each tab.
    OT: you can run who to get a better idea of what each user is associated with. Eg. with Xorg on tty1 and terminal open with two tabs:
    $ who
    testing tty1 2013-12-11 08:55
    testing pts/0 2013-12-11 08:55 (:0.0)
    testing pts/1 2013-12-11 15:51 (:0.0)
    Oh there is another option on mine besides "Run command as a login shell" called "Update login records when command is launched" I have them both disabled. Check for a second option maybe.

  • Issue with multiple Albums with the same name. (i.e. Greatest Hits)

    I have multiple albums all with the same name (i.e. Greatest Hits). iTunes mixes all of the albums as one. All of the track 1s together, all track 2s together .... Is there a way for iTunes to recognize that there is more than 1 album with the same name? and to keep each album seperate.
    Thanks

    You need to let iTunes know that they are different albums. The trick I use that work fine is to simply add the artist name of which it is the Greatest Hits in the "Album Artist".
    That way, iTunes will keep your album together.

  • Multiple volumes with the same name

    If I look at my /Volumes folder using Finder>Go>Go to Folder.. I see seven different volumes all starting with the same name:
    MyName
    MyName 1
    MyName-1
    MyName-2
    MyName-3
    MyName-4
    MyName-5
    (as well as my external drive and iMac HD)
    MyName has a folder icon, and contains 1 folder called Backup which then has my 1Password.keychain in 7 different versions.
    MyName 1 and MyName-1 are aliases and have icons for shared volumes. The only differences I can see are that in "MyName 1", the folders for Backup, Groups and Library are all displayed as aliases, whereas in "MyName-1" they are displayed as standard folders.
    MyName-2 through MyName-5 all have folder icons and are empty.
    I can understand that I could have a local and remote copy of my iDisk, hence the "MyName 1" and "MyName-1" volumes, but why all the others?
    Should I delete any of MyName-2 through -5?
    Is any of this slowing down iDisk syncing or searching?
    Thanks in advance

    I have the same problem
    an external firewire drive "232 GB" is gaining an extra, sequentially numbered, mountpoint in /Volumes/ each time it is unplugged and re-plugged.
    This is a bit of a pain as Xtorrent is downloading to a folder on this drive and so, whenever it is unplugged, I have to either;
    restart all the downloads or,
    before launching xtorrent, go into /volumes/ and delete the last mountpoint (so the system automatically adds the one Xtorrent is expecting)
    just noticed you're in Sheffield too, maybe it's a local problem....

  • Multiple lovs with the same name on the same module/form

    I've noticed that in this case in a generated fmb LOVs get renamed so that first remains with the same name, next one gets 1 at the end, next one 2 and so on.
    What I haven't found yet is the rule by which they are sorted, i.e. which one gets 1, which one 2, which one remains with the same name...
    I've tried with the usage sequence of the LOVs but that seems to have no influence.
    Anyone has any clues?

  • Having multiple nodes with the same name in JTree!!!???

    Hi!
    I want to be able to have folders or files with the same name in different locations in my JTree. But if I do so the last one always overwrites the previous one.
    I have a vector with strings like root\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd.doc, root\aaa\bbb\eee.doc, root\aaa\ccc\fff.doc etc. In this case ccc\ddd.doc out of the first string would disapear.
    In this post you can see how I add the nodes:

  • Multiple documents with the same Name

    We had a problem reported where an xquery to the xml db returned multiple records. Upon reading the full db (getAllDocuments) and printing each document's name we found out that all the documents had the same the same Name!!!
    We are using 2.3.10
    This is very disturbing as we depend on the uniqueness of the Name heavily.
    Any ideas on how this could happen?
    What information would you need?
    Code used to dump data
    Message was edited by:
    user626230

    Hi,
    Are you using all of the patches to 2.3.10? You should be, or better yet, use 2.3.11. There was a bug that could be involved that is fixed in 2.3.11. Others have seen duplicate documents but the root cause has never been 100% identified.
    Be sure that you are aborting your deadlocked transactions properly.
    Is this issue reliably reproducible in any way? If so, I'd be very interested in a test case or working with you to figure out what sequence of events causes it.

  • Multiple databases with the same name ... only one named DB can be found

    Hi All
    We are currently in the progress of migrating over to APEX 3.2 from HTMLDB 2.1.
    We have 3 instances on each version - DEV, UAT, LIV.
    The HTMLDB servers and databases are set up with no problems in grid control. However, the new apex instances are not being found (different servers) - I think this has something to do with the names (global database name) being the same as an existing database that is already configured on GC.
    Is there a way around this? as we plan to keep both versions of APEX/HTMLDB running in parallel for at least the next few months.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jake.

    can you manually discover the new instances on the new server?
    Then just make sure the name that appears in Grid Control is different.
    e.g. prod.world is on server A and B. When you discover in Grid control, you can make it prod_B and you will see the latter without any problem.
