A small tutorial on wireless connectivity: Input a...

I recently acquired a nokia 5530XM phone and I've been fiddling around with connecting it to the internet wirelessly. Being at university however presented me with a unique challenge. My internet has a wireless network card and is also served internet via a wired network connection, whereas all tutorials I've encountered assume the connection is received by a USB modem. This meant that I could not use internet connection sharing to provide internet to my phone through the computer. This appears to be a feature only supported by server versions of windows. After many hours of experimentation, I came up with the following solution:
Connecting your phone wirelessly to internet through a computer, when that computer receives it's internet through another network connection
For various reasons, you may not have a wireless router to serve the internet connection to your phone, or you may be unable to use one for whatever reason. I will outline some common scenarios:
1) You are at a university or office and have a computer with a wireless connection that receives it's internet through another network connection.
2) You only possess a router that lacks wireless networking capabilities, but have a computer connected to the router with wireless capability.
If this is the case, internet connection sharing WILL NOT work to provide internet to your phone. This requires features available only in the server versions of windows.
This tutorial was executed successfully using a nokia 5530XM, with a computer running windows XP SP3. All that is required from the phone is the ability to connect to an ad hoc windows network and to configure proxy settings.
Firstly, ensure that your computer has two network cards (one wired and one wireless), and you are connected to the internet through the wired connection.
Next, you will need to configure your wireless network adapter. Follow the instructions here to configure your wireless adapter in ad hoc mode. Assign an SSID that is short and easy to remember, In this case I'm using "test". Also ensure that the preferred networks box is BLANK before you start.
Now, pick up your phone and goto settings > connectivity > wireless LAN > other (hidden netw.). Type the SSID of your new ad hoc connection. It should sucessfully connect. Please note that at this time I have been unable to get this to work properly when the network is encrypted. You will have to disable encryption in the wireless network properties dialog.
We can now move on to setting up the proxy server. Download freeproxy from this link (I suggest version 4):
Freeproxy
Install freeproxy and open the control centre. Double click on the top line, it should read "proxy | internet | protocol:..."
A box will pop ups allowing you to change various settings. Change local binding to your wireless network adapter and remote binding to your wired network adapter.
This is also a good time to grab the local IP address of you PC. Note down the IP next to the "local binding" drop down box (mine reads 169.254.97.105). You can check if this works by typing "http://yourlocalip:8080" into a webbrowser. Don't be alarmed about the error it throws up, we're just not talking to the proxy server properly at this time.
If you see a page titled "error report by freeproxy", then congratulations, your proxy server is working!
This is probably the last step. Grab your phone and navigate to settings > connectivity > destinations > internet. Click on your new access point (it should be listed as we connected to it before at the start). Now click on options > advanced options and scroll down to "proxy server address". Type in the local IP you got from freeproxy. In "proxy port number" type 8080.
In order to watch youtube videos, you will need to configure realplayer the same way. Head to applications > realplayer > options > settings > streaming > proxy. Set "use proxy" to yes and configure the two options exactly as before.
Fire up the internet and select a webpage and your network connection (you may have to use "search for WLAN" ). If all is well, you should see the website you wanted to visit. Congratulations, you just configured internet through your PC!
I would appreciate some testing of this, as well as assistance with getting encryption to work properly. Having only had the phone since monday, I'm still not familiar with all its features .

Uday,
  We can do it .See the below concept
INPUT.
This key word will only be supported for a limited period (for the sake of compatibility with R/2). Instead, please use FORMAT INPUT (see FORMAT ) or the addition ... INPUT of the WRITE statement.
Ex :
REPORT demo_list_format_input.
WRITE   'Please fill in your name before printing:'.
WRITE / '   Enter name here    ' INPUT ON.
ULINE.
WRITE 'You can overwrite the following line:'.
FORMAT INPUT ON INTENSIFIED OFF.
ULINE.
FORMAT INPUT OFF INTENSIFIED ON.
This will work for your requirement.
Don't forget to give marks

  • Qos - giving wired connections priority over wireless connections

    I have a WRT54G with revised firmware.  I have one wireless connection and one wired connection.  I'd like to set it up so that the wired connection uses the majority of the bandwidth.  This way the resource intensive programs I use for work (CAD, GIS, etc accessing files remotely) will be guaranteed to have available more bandwith than my daughter on her laptop using IM, web cam and WOW-type game play.  I don't mind her using these programs, but I have to make my work a priority.
    It seems that I can shape traffic if each were a WIRED connection and also that the single QoS option for wireless will enhance WiFi MultiMedia.  How can I assign a preference to the WIRED connection and provide a smaller but usable portion of bandwith to the wireless connection?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the input, although I still am a bit lost.  I apologize if my questions appear repetitive.

    What do you mean by "dedicate to that application?"  Do you mean the apps I am trying to give bandwidth priority too?  If so, how much of the 512 kbs upstream bandwidth do I enter here?  How does this affect the wireless connections?

    Won't these only apply to the different ethernet ports and wired MAC addresses?  I am trying to limit bandwith to the wireless side...

    Won't this provide the wireless connection with more efficient throughput?  How will this help me in limiting the bandwith allocated to the wireless connection?

  • Establishing Wireless Connection (Newbie; lost at Square 1!)

    I began researching wireless connections before I purchased my MacBook Pro and was told by several people that I had to purchase this or that - a router, a subscription to Verizon, etc., etc. When I set up my new MacBook Pro last night, I still didn't have a clue how I was going to do it, so when I was asked to designate my Internet connection, I just skipped it.
    Today, two Apple/Mac salespeople told me I need to do virtually nothing, saying my wireless connection is already established. One of them showed me the wireless icon near the top right corner of my monitor screen. When I click on it, I see that "Airpot On" is grayed out (and therefore on).
    Below that is a list of networks, following "No network selected" (also grayed out). The choices are linksys, linksysSES46485, MandaNet, RC5011, ThePADD and "Other."
    I clicked all of the choices, but most required a password. Are these services/companies that I have to subscribe to before I can get a password?
    I'm confused by the number of combinations - Airport vs Bluetooth vs Ethernet X all the various networks that are listed.
    I don't understand any of this. Can someone point me to an illustrated tutorial that can guide me through the process step by step?
    Thanks.

    David,
    Man you aren't kidding about being a "newbie!"
    Yes, let's start from square one.... You Macbook Pro comes equipped with the ability to connect to a wireless network using the 802.11a/b/g wireless standard (Apple calls this standard "Airport"). These "networks" are created by a wireless router. What you are seeing in the Airport menu are various wireless networks, doubtless owned by your neighbors, that are in range of your MBP. Your neighbors wisely chose to secure their networks with passwords. You, not knowing those passwords, cannot connect to the internet via their networks.
    A wireless router does 2 things, normally:
    1) It connects all of the computers you own in a network that allows the transfer of information between connected computers. This is called "sharing."
    2) If you have a broadband connection to the internet, it acts as a gateway to the internet for all the connected computers.
    There are several types of "broadband" internet connection, but the two most common to "consumers" are DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and cable. DSL operates over your existing phone line, but it will only be available to you if your phone provider has built the infrastructure to accommodate it into the phone lines in your area. Check with your phone company.
    Cable internet service is typically a bit faster than DSL. This service is provided over your existing cable TV lines. Obviously, cable must be available in your area in order to subscribe to this service.
    Once you have determined which of the two infrastructures (DSL or cable) are available to you, you must choose a service provider. For example, cable is available to me, and that is what I use. It is provided to me through Brighthouse cable, but they are only the "go-between." Earthlink is my "service provider," but I could also choose to use Roadrunner or AOL. In any case, Brighthouse provides my connection, and the bill is included with my Brighthouse cable TV invoice.
    Whether you go with cable or DSL, you will be provided with some type of modem. This modem will connect to your cable to provide internet access, and to the computers in your house either wirelessly, or via wired ethernet (your MBP also has an ethernet port for a "wired" connection).
    If you wish to only use a dial-up internet service, you must purchase a USB dial-up modem. Since most people are connecting to the internet via wireless networks, Apple opted to do away with internal dial-up modems. The USB dial-up modem is very small, and rather inexpensive. This modem will allow you to connect to the internet via whatever existing dial-up service you currently have.

  • Wireless Connection Problems for Home Hub 3 and Vi...

    We have upgraded from BT Home Hub 2 to version 3 and had a BT man (engineer) visit to set it up. He did so with no problems on our PC (wired, runnning XP) and installed all relevant software on the PC and this is connected which so far has been fast (enough - as expected) and reliable. Once the 'main' computer in the house was connected we then tried to connect other things to the internet using this BT Hub 3.
    However when attempting to connect our family laptop (running Vista) we hit trouble. Initially I tried to use the icon in the tray (bottom right of the screen) by clicking on connect to a network, then selecting our hub, then inputting the wireless key and going through the menus correctly. It would only connect 'locally' and not recognise the hub. It says identifying then says unidentified (public network BT Hub 3) and only 'local' access which I then change to private network. With my preivious internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT NOT Home, Work or Public.
    So I then tried the BT disc that comes with the hub into the laptop. I go through the menus - it asks is the broadband light steady blue? Yes. Click next to continue wireless set up. So I press continue. It then asks for the wireless network/SSID BTHub3- numbers and letters and the wireless key. So I put that in correctly (double checking) and click next. It then says Connecting to your Hub which then gets ticked but then the checking wireless key doesn't tick - it crosses, and says failed. It asks me to check I typed the numbers and letters correctly (I am sure of that) and It goes to Manuel set up. Where I select my hub and again type in the wireless key and click next. But the same thing happens - connecting to your hub gets ticked but checking wireless key fails.
    I then get a message that says i should do a wired set up, which I can do and works but on the laptop wired solutions is just not satisfactory - laptops need wireless connectivity. Is this a problem with my laptop, Vista or the hub/modem or a combination.
    I also have been able to connect other things to the internet such as a netbook (running Windows 7) and a games console. Please comment if anthing needs explaining or more detail. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    John46: I uninstalled the Hub programmes you said to. I then tried to connect to a network (wirelessly - accessed either by going to Start - Connect to or from the icon in the tray (bottom right). I selected my hub and clicked connect. It does its thing and says 'successfully connected to...' I close that and go onto Network and Sharing Center and it shows its trying to identify the network and wait a few seconds it then shows 'unidentified network (public network)...' and that I have only got local access and so cannot surf the web.
    As I mentioned in my earlier post:
    With my previous Internet I was able to set it up as Home network - now I can only choose between public or private BUT not got the choice between Home, Work or Public.
    Hope I've explained myself.

  • Wireless Connection Sometimes Requires A Reboot To Work

    I have had this going on for about two months. My wireless connection will work fine for a while and then suddenly slow down and eventually drop out completely. A reboot is the only thing that brings it back, but the cycle always starts over again. I've posted a few logs here, but if there is something more someone needs please let me know. The Arch system is the only device on my network that is experiencing this issue. I've also tried adding options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf. I thought this had worked until today when I booted up and eventually had the same issue. I am running the x86_x64 variant of Arch with kernel  3.18.4-1-ARCH #1. The position of all my equipment remains unchanged so I'm guessing either the card is dying or I have a bug. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

  • HP Laserjet P1102w wireless connection/print issues. Unreliable connection

    I have this printer in a business public wifi network with bonjour enabled. I installed this printer wirelessly, but any time I print to it, it takes minutes before the printer will actually receive and print the job.
    I have found that power cycling the printer starts the print job faster, however I would like to be able to avoid having to do this every time. I cannot see this printer from other computers, or at the IP address it has registered, either. Only in the small window of printing the job does it actually appear on the wireless network, then it seems to disappear again. If I try pinging the printer I get a response saying it was not found. Unless I ping during a print job in which case it replies with all packets sent/received correctly.
    I am using Windows 7 32bit, have installed the latest printer firmware, etc.
    The blue WiFi light on the printer is usually off or flickering, but not really ever solid for more than a few seconds.

    Sounds like the printer is having trouble stabilizing on the network.  Try following the steps in this document to stabalize the printer's wireless connection.  You can also try updating the firmware to improve the connectivity.  Let me know what happens.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and  shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

    I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910.  The HP  Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

  • Wired and Wireless Connections to OfficeJet 8620?

    We have a small wired Ethernet network.  We are planning to install an HP OfficeJet 8620 multi-function printer tomorrow.  I understand that for a wired-only Ethernet network, I would just connect the OfficeJet to our router, then install the drivers on each workstation.
    Unfortunately, our situation is more complicated than that.  Several people want to use wireless devices to print to the OfficeJet 8620.  We have a working wireless network in place, and the wireless devices are able to access it without problem..
    All devices on the network (wired and wireless) use the same router, which has both wired Ethernet ports and wireless capability.  So, everything is on the same network, going through the same router.
    From reading the 8620 documentation, it looks like you can only have a wired OR a wireless connection, but not both.  Apparently connecting a CAT-5 cable to the Ethernet port on the printer disables the wireless capability of the printer.
    If that is correct, what can we do to enable both wired computers and wireless mobile devices to print to the 8620, given the network structure I have described above?
    Thanks very much for any assistance you can offer.

  • Home Hub 3: ethernet & wireless connections from i...

    I have a perplexing problem whereby the functionality I get from my Home Hub 3 is different depending on whether my brand new iMac computer running MacOS 10.7.2 is connected wired (i.e. using ethernet) or via wireless.
    The functionality difference has shown itself to me in the two scenarios below. It's a problem to me because the problems occur when the iMac is connected via ethernet and I want to use ethernet to connect my iMac. If the wireless connection to the iMac was as reliable as everything else on my network (mac laptops also running 10.7.2, windows 7 laptops, iphones, ipads etc) I would be content to use wireless. However, the iMac frequently drops the signal requiring a wireless on/off to get it back. I'm tending to hold the iMac responsible for this and await an Apple fix, although having changed the security setting on the Home Hub 3 to WPA2 only and set the channel to channel 4, the wireless dropouts are much less frequent, without these changes it drops the signal every few minutes. Any input on this would be gratefully received.
    I want wired for connection reliability (and speed), but I have a two situations where I get more functionality out of my network if the iMac is connected via wireless. A classic case of being caught between two stools.
    Scenario 1
    I have a WD MyBook Live NAS drive attached to the Home Hob 3 via ethernet with the intention of using it as a Time Machine backup disc for the iMac and to be a shared drive for our macbook and windows laptops. All seems fine at first with the iMac connected via ethernet, the browser can see the NAS drive and set it up etc, but Time Machine will only see the WD MyBook Live if wireless is switched on.
    Scenario 2
    I have an HP 5510 wireless printer and set it up and HP software installed on the iMac. With the iMac connected to the Home Hub 3 via ethernet printing is fine, however, scanning doesn't work, the scanner and iMac cant see each other. With wireless scanning is fine as well as printing.
    I haven't wanted to mess with it all any more, Ive spent hours going through the HP software, the WD software, the router as well as the network preferences on the iMac. It's not making make sense. Anybody who knows what's going on here would be a genius in my book!

    Hi mja, Apologies but I'm not the expert you're looking for, but a couple of my experiences may be of interest. I've got a WD my book running as a networked back up drive. A while back there was an update for a "USB" connected hard drive (which mine is definitely not) - this confused my PC -- wouldn't let it close down amongst many other symptoms --with great difficuly managed to disable the driver and sanity was restored. The other problem involved a print server that has a static IP address -------- my HH3 sometimes gives that IP address to other items on my network --------- this stops the printer working. Apologies if this post is not formatted correctly, I'm using an iPad --- not by choice,, All the best Michael

  • Cannot Connect to Domain Through Wireless Connection

    Hello TechNet Gurus,
    As the title suggests, I am having issues connecting to my domain through a wireless connection. I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 (Data Center and Enterprise) to build my understanding of server administration to supplement my undergraduate
    coursework (B.S. Computer Engineering & Cyber Security minor). So far I have a working domain controller attached to a switch that I re-purposed from an old WRT54G Linksys router. In turn, the switch is attached to a WRT54GS Linksys router. 
    When connected through physical media, the domain controller works as expected. I can connect to the domain from two personal laptops running Windows 7 Professional and from two virtual environments running Windows 7 Enterprise. Through these connections, I
    can divvy out group policy, access network drives, and other services successfully. However, I attempted to connect wireless, and when I do, I continually get an error indicating that my username/password is incorrect. I carefully re-input the login information
    (over-and-over), and I even recreated the user/computer objects. All to no avail.
    After a couple of days of research between classes, homework, and work, I found some promising tips:
    Added the following entry to the registry for the local machine: %comspec% /c netsh wlan connect name="JBnetwork"
    Added the following local group policy (using gpedit.msc): Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
    Unfortunately, the above tips have not resolved the issue. From what I understand, the issue stems from the order that the wireless software and domain authenticate. I have also read that this may purely be a networking issue that is not directly related
    to Active Directory or Windows 7 configurations. Whatever the situation is, this has me completely stumped and I could use some expert advice.
    This is my ipconfig, for the reference:

    Thanks to anyone who can help!

    @Zanderol24,
    Thanks for following up with me. I completely forgot about this post because I was able to figure out a solution by poking around in Group Policy.
    The issue was a pretty simple fix. I tweaked the wireless policy a bit: Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies.
    Thanks again!

  • Photosmart 4780 Wireless connection without USB cable on mac!!!

    Dear all,
    My mac pro does recognize the printer via USB connection anymore. I tried to turn on the wireless connection on the 4780 but could not find 'hpsetup' in wireless networks.....
    Is there any other way to connect this thing wirelessly or do i need to buy a new printer ??
    regard
    Ruben  

    Hey everyone.. I have the ultimate solution for this:
    1- On your small printer screen, go to wireless settings, press on WSP - press "push button" 
    2- Go to your wireless router panel - by using the IP address of the router (mine is 198.122.3.3), go to "Wireless" and press the WSP Button (two rounded arrows) 
    another option:
    1- On your small printer screen, go to wireless settings, press on WSP - press "Pin" 
    2- Go to your wireless router panel, go to "Wireless" and pput the PIN number that you see on the small screen.

  • Manual duplex times out on wireless connectivity only - D5560 printer

    The printer is set for manual duplex. I use a Dell Insiron laptop (OSW7) with a wireless connection to Netgear Wireless-N 3000 Router. IP address is 192.168.1.5:3910 for the wireless printer.
    The pages print on the one side and then simply stop printing on the last page just before the printer should be releasing it.
    If I leave everything alone, approx 15 seconds later the page gets released and the print cancels.
    If I manually tug the final page out of the printer and manually insert for the second side the page has a small area at the end unfinished. The first page of the second side may have this data printed on it.
    I've reinstalled the software and all hardware has driver updates etc.
    My PC is cable connected to the router and I've never had this happen. It is only on the wireless connection for the laptop.
    Is there a solution?

    Does the printer recover by power-cycling your switch or unplugging the LAN cable to the printer?

  • No wireless connection on WRT54GS

    The wireless connection on my WRT54GS (v6, firmware 1.50.9) seems to have died. The WLAN light still comes on, but neither the downstairs PC nor my PSP can locate the network, even though the router is set to broadcast the SSID. Rebooting makes no difference. Cabled connections (PC and PS3) still work perfectly well. No settings have been changed on any of the equipment, so I suspect that something has gone wrong internally. The router is just about within its warranty period, so is there anything I can try - any diagnostic software, for example - or should I just get it replaced?

    You can try to update the firmware of the router, to check if that stops connection dropping. To update the firmware of router try this: 1. Go to www.linksys.com/download and select correct model number and version number. Download the firmware and save it on your computer. 2. Check the file it sould be firmware image file like .bin etc. If it is a compressed zip file extract it to get firmware image file. 3. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 4. Go to administartion tab there 5. Go to fimware update sub-tab there 6. Browse for the firmware image file and click update 7. when update completes turn off modem & router. 8. After 2 minutes turn on modem and after 2 more minutes turn on router. To get network key, connect your computer to one of the four ports on router using ethernet cable. 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2. Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key Well you need to input all the wireless settings of your wireless network on Wii. To get these settings: 1. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser’s address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. 2. Goto wireless tab. Here you will get the wireless network name/SSID. Here make sure wireless SSID broadcast is enabled. 3. Now goto wireless security sub-tab and here you will get the security mode and the security key. If security type is WPA note passphrase/shared key, and if its WEP note down wep encryption level and key 1 from listed 4 keys....& it will definately work!!!

  • Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

    Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV.  ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

    Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.
