Adding a new pc (laptop) to my BT Home hub(1.5)

Hi forum readers,
My wife has just purchaed a laptop and wants to connect to the BT Total BB we already have installed.
She has a hotmail email address on this laptop.
I have a desktop pc connected via ethernet cable and this runs well.
We have one email account ( main account) that we share. We use BT Yahoo Mail/Outlook Express.
The Toshiba Satellite laptop had no problem wirelessly connecting to my BB hub(v1.5) - so far so good.
However when I tried to run the BT Total BB CD on the new laptop it asked me for an email address etc.
Now here is the dilema - can I use the hotmail email address or will it insist on a xxxx@btopenworld type email address?
Do I have to get a sub-account set up on my hard wired pc and use that on the Toshiba laptop?
Can I use the hotmail account as the email address or will BTBB throw a wobbler?
I am reluctant to try this without confirmation that it will work.
Any assistance greatly appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the welcome.
I have taken your advice and tied the BTcd to the washing line - now perhaps you'll tell me how I can bring the wife's laptop into the BT community because as of now all she has is a wireless connection (via the hub) to the Internet.
As a subscriber to BT Total BB I want both the computers on the Hub to enjoy the same services. Not having the use of the BT cd leaves me up a pole without a ladder.
Now I guess you are an expert so please be kind to this old 'un and explain in words of one syllable how I do this.
I cannot get a BT engineer visit as I live on the IoW and the service is not offered, however I do want someone like yourself to point me in the right direction.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.

How do I set up my new tc to work with my home hub 2?

Hi. This is my first time in this community, so hope I'm doing this right! I have a bt home hub2 and have just purchased a 2tb time capsule to go with my brand new iMac. Please help me to set up the tc to work with the bt home hub. I want to use the tc wireless capability and think I will have to set up a new network and switch off bt wireless, but I'm not sure. Bit of a novice at this kind of thing so any help you can give in nice simple steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In UK BT generally use PPPoA authentication only so you will have to keep using the home hub as the main router. Put the Time Capsule.. TC.. in bridge mode. To do this go to the airport utility, on menu selection go to internet, and make sure it is set to ethernet for method of connection, and in connection sharing, select bridge. Then select update.. it will probably list some issues like password needing changing and access via wan etc .. almost all of which you can simply ignore.. as you are not using it in router mode.
The TC will save the setting and restart.. it will now exist as a wireless access point and switch on the network. The WAN is swapped to LAN, so there is no WAN port as such but it is still convenient to use WAN port marked <...> ethernet between home hub and the TC. Then setup wireless as you like. You can turn off the wireless in home hub, and just use the TC.. or use both, on different channels. That is no big problem. Set the security for the wireless is important and I would also manually set wireless channels and use different name for the 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. But just start and learn what you need to as you go along. Getting the basics working should be fairly easy. Some of the more complex stuff you just need to read carefully the instructions..
And read this site.
Carefully and until your eyes bleed. Almost everything you want to know is there already.

Hi, i have a new toshiba laptop with windows 7 home edition K and first thing i did was download firefox but it does not open... thank you!

Laptop is L630 and i bought it in Korea, language base is korean/english. I downloaded firefox first but it was US-english, so i uninstalled it and re-installed the uk-english version. Before that I set a persona on firefox 9the only add-on i was in time to set)
When i click on the icons it does not launch...
I tried several tiime to relaunch the PC but so far no change...

I can't think of any way to make the Navigation Toolbar appear/disappear based on which direction you move your mouse.
Well, there is full screen view, where the whole toolbar area including the tab bar slides up off the screen, and reappears if you slide the mouse pointer all the way to the top. (You can use the F11 key to turn full screen view on and off.)
Is it possible this is an option of one of your extensions?

Adding a new 2Tb Time Capsule to a home network

Greetings. I have a 2-story home with a basement. Currently, the wireless network is based on a 2003 A1034 Airport extreme, with an AExpress on one floor, and an older airport in the basement. I've now purchases a 2Tb Time Capsule with 802.11n. Is there any benefit to starting over with the Time Capsule as the master router, or can I just add it into the current network and have it backup the computers as it is? It took me a long time to figure out the way to link the Airports, and I'm sort of afraid to start over if there's no speed benefit. We have the high-speed ATT UVerse internet. I hope my question makes sense, and I'm grateful for any input.

You should put the TC in as the main router.. but only do this if you can still access it via gigabit ethernet or N wireless.. for backups.. if you do backups via G wireless it will take forever.. G wireless is fine for the internet.. but lousy for local lan traffic.

I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

Hi there -
I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
Please help!

Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Satilite M40X - Adding a new CPU

I was wondering how I would go about adding a new CPU to my laptop. I've never done anything like this before and I was wondering how I would go about doing it. Also, I have yet to actually buy a new CPU so if you have any suggestions, or if there are any compatibity issues I should know about it would be great if you could tell me.

In your case I wont exchange the CPU.
This is not really significant because the price for a new CPU is high and you will not get much more performance.
The BIOS does often not work with the CPU and Toshiba doesnt support such service.
I have founded an article about exchanging CPU/GPU:

Error while adding a new col with check constriant

Hello
I tried adding a new column with check constraint but giving the error please correct me..
drop table testchk
create table testchk(typenm varchar2(5))
insert into testchk values('mon')
alter table testchk add typechk varchar2(5) default 'both' constraint chk_test check(typechk in('m','d') and typechk is not null)For the alter comman getting the ORA-02293 cannot validate error..
I dont want to create any other constriant like not null etc .. but need only one check constriant
Thanks

You cannot assign a default value = 'both' while the constraint allows only 'm' or 'd'.
This will work:
ALTER TABLE testchk ADD typechk VARCHAR2(5) DEFAULT 'both'
CONSTRAINT chk_test CHECK(typechk IN('m','d', 'both') AND typechk IS NOT NULL);Edited by: kordirko on 2010-05-14 18:41

Error while adding a new method to the Session Bean

Hello everyone. I'm using jdev 11g, ejb, jpa & jsf. Everything works fine. But when I try to add a custom method to the Session Bean, I'm having an error.
Here is my steps:
1) I added a new method to SessionBean.java. Something like this:
public void Hello() {
System.out.println("Hello!");
2) Then using Structure palette I exposed this method through Local interface and created data control
3) Finally, I made a command button binded to this method (just droped it from DataControls.dcx to my page)
When I start the page and click the button, I'm having the following error:
Error 500--Internal Server Error
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Method not found: Hello.execute(javax.faces.event.ActionEvent)
     at org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.taglib.util.MethodExpressionMethodBinding.invoke(MethodExpressionMethodBinding.java:58)

     at oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.ContextSwitchingComponent$1.run(ContextSwitchingComponent.java:70)
... (I've truncated the log because there is nothing important in the missing part)

Yes, I have binding in the page def. Everything is correct there:
<methodAction id="Hello" RequiresUpdateModel="true" Action="invokeMethod"
MethodName="Hello" IsViewObjectMethod="false"
DataControl="PriceServiceLocal"
InstanceName="PriceServiceLocal.dataProvider"/>
I've droped the method from the Data Controls panel

Error while resetting release of segment 'segment name'.
it is comming from the message class EA and message number 259.
Thanks in advance.
Reagrds,

Hi,
Have you tried Cancelling the release before adding the version?
Select the active version of the IDOC Segment and cancel its release first. Only then you will be able to add a version.
Please let me know if it worked!
