AT COMMAND FOR IDENTIFY CONNECTED GPRS NETWORK

HI i am connecting GPRS terminal with the network .i want AT command to identify which Network(3g orGprs) the terminal connected......

Hi Joe,
In the future please do not use all capitals in your title, it comes off as yelling and is not conducive towards helping get a response on these forums. Also, be sure to give as much detail as possible regarding your application/issue. How are you connecting your GPRS terminal to your PC? Are these VISA serial commands you are sending to the device? What is the brand/model of the device? Let me know and I'll try my best to assist you with this issue.

Scan for and connect to networks from an openbox pipe menu (netcfg)

So the other day when i was using wifi-select (awesome tool) to connect to a friends hot-spot, i realized "hey! this would be great as an openbox pipe menu." i'm fairly decent in bash and i knew both netcfg and wifi-select were in bash so why not rewrite it that way?
Wifi-Pipe
A simplified version of wifi-select which will scan for networks and populate an openbox right-click menu item with available networks. displays security type and signal strength. click on a network to connect via netcfg the same way wifi-select does it.
zenity is used to ask for a password and notify of a bad connection. one can optionally remove the netcfg profile if the connection fails.
What's needed
-- you have to be using netcfg to manage your wireless
-- you have to install zenity
-- you have to save the script as ~/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe and make it executable:
chmod +x ~/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe
-- you have to add a sudoers entry to allow passwordless sudo on this script and netcfg (!)
USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/netcfg
USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/USERNAME/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe
-- you have to adjust ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml like so:
<menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3">
<menu id="pipe-wifi" label="Wifi" execute="sudo /home/USERNAME/.config/openbox/wifi-pipe INTERFACE" />
<menu id="term-menu"/>
<item label="Run...">
<action name="Execute">
<command>gmrun</command>
</action>
</item>
where USERNAME is you and INTERFACE is probably wlan0 or similar
openbox --reconfigure and you should be good to go.

removed -- Hi-res shots available on my site
NOTE - i have not tested this extensively but it was working for me in most cases. any updates/fixes will be edited right into this original post. enjoy!
UPDATE - 10/24/2009: i moved the awk statement from wifi-select directly into the script. this did two things: wifi-select is no longer needed on the system, and i could tweak the awk statement to be more accurate. it now prints a true percentange. iwlist prints something like Quality=17/70 and the original awk statement would just output 17 as the quality. i changed to print (17/70)*100 then bash trims the decimals so you get a true percentage.

well, just to be sure you're doing it right...
he above is only an adjustment to the OB script's print_menu() function, it's not an entire script to itself. so, if the original OB script shows output for you with
sh ./wifi-pipe
then using the above pint_menu() function (with all the other supporting code) should also show output, (only really only changes the echo's so they print the info in the pekwm format).
oh, and if neither version shows output when you rut it in a term, then you've got other issues... ;P

Extreme versus Express for computer connection and network extension

I somehow posted this message in the Windows section, so let me try again:
I have an older Mac Pro that I have moved to a location that does not have a convenient wired connection to our home network. We do have one Airport Extreme box on the system, so I was thinking that I could kill two birds with one stone and purchase a second box to not only give the Mac Pro a wireless connection, but also to extend the network.
Will either the Airport Extreme or the Airport Express work equally well for this purpose? Does the Extreme offer some advantage in this situation?

Yes either the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) or AirPort Express (AX) will do the job. In this situation neither offers an advantage.

Terminal Commands for Identifying Apps as 32-Bit, 64-Bit, or Both

I posted a prior topic on this matter, but cannot find it. I have seen these what I am asking about, but can't locate them. I am trying to identify the terminal commands noted in my subject.
Message was edited by: donv (The Ghost)
Message was edited by: donv (The Ghost)

This is what I was looking for:
In terminal, type: file /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
What is returned is below. The second/third line identifies Safari as a universal binary with two architectures. The fourth/fifth line identifies the architectures as 32 bit and 64 bit. I am not sure what the sixth/seventh line does unless it identifies Safari as being compatible with PowerPC.
xxxx-MacBook-Pro:~ donv1$ file /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari: Mach-O universal binary with 2
architectures
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture x86_64):
Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari (for architecture i386): Mach-O
executable i386
For any wondering. If SL is started in 64-bit kernel mode, then it will run Safari as a 64-bit program. The same will happen if SL is started in 32-bit mode. Leopard also will run Safari as a 64-bit program. Suppose one has a purely 64-bit program. The same things will happen. Note also that some 32-bit programs will run in 64-bit mode, and, at least in some cases, they will run faster in 64-bit mode. On the other hand, some 32-bit programs will not run in 64-bit mode.
Thus, at this time, the benefits from being able to start in 64-bit mode are minimal. That is, one might be able to run some 32-bit programs slightly faster than in 32-bit mode. On the other hand, this minor benefit would, IMO, be offset by not being able to run certain 32-bit or 64-bit programs simultaneously. I'll be sticking with 32-bit mode.
If there currently is more to the story than I have told, then please pile on. I am always interested in avoiding misinformation.

Terminal Commands for Internet Connect VPN?

I could maybe do this as an applescript but I'm hoping there are terminal commands which I can incorporate into an rsync script...
I need to open a PPTP VPN connection on a computer (Internet Connect VPN client, 10.4.8) , to connect to VPN services on OS X Server (10.4.8). The configuration works fine but really needs manual intervention at times. I would like to just script the equivalent of hitting the 'connect' button, so this can be run by cron.
Any ideas or links?
Ta.
-david

I did repair permissions with disk Utility and I used Onyx to delete the various caches, but that didn't work.
Everything is functioning. The problem isn't on the VPN server side, because I can log into the VPN on my Powerbook and the status shows correctly. There's definitely something going on with my G5.
This isn't a really huge deal, but it would be nice if the status indicated that I'm connected when I'm connected.

Why can't I get Outlook for Mac connected to Network?

I have a friend who recently bought a MacBook Pro after having a pc forever. She had Apple migrate all her data over to the MacBook Pro. We then installed Office for Mac 2011. Her preference was/is to use Outlook for her emal. This only became known to me after I got her email set up and working in Mail. I then proceeded to set up Outlook with the exact same settings that I successfully used for Mail, i.e., incoming and outdgoing servers, ports, SSL, authentication (name and password), etc. There was a brief time when it was up and running, but inexplicably, this is no longer the case. The error message I get continues to point to authentication and her ISP's denial of services. Has anyone else had this problem? I've heard Microsoft's Outlook can be finicky.Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I was hoping that I might find other Mac users who have Office for Mac 2011, encountered the same issue, and had something to offer by way of a solution.
But I will also take your suggestion and post on the forum link you provided.
Thanks, btw, for the link.

Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

I had no problem with my IPad 3 connecting to my wi-fi but for some reason lately it tell me can not connect to network. I reset both my wifi and my ipad and I still get the same error.

I've had my IPad 3 for awhile and had no problems with it. The other day I went to connect to my wi-fi and it told me could not connect to network. It recognizes my wi-fi but won't connect. I have shut off my wi-fi and still the same problem. Today I reset my ipad back to factory and when I get to the wifi setup I still get unable to join the network. What is wrong

Dont use a password to connect the ipad and try if unable to join happens try another network. After that it is a repair. Now most likely it is the password on router. typically you access your router with http://192.168.1.1/ BUT it may be different if you changed it or your router uses different one.

Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity.
I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
Many thanks.
Ben

If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

FF not connecting to web- This "Network Connections" message pops up: Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection. Any ideas?

About a month ago I could no longer connect to the internet on our PC. Every time I clicked on the Firefox icon the Netscape sign-on window would pop up. I would try to close it but it would pop up over and over again. If I tried to close it a dozen or so times eventually Firefox would open up but it would never connect. Just today I moved my Netscape file to the recycle bin. No longer does the Netscape sign-on window pop up but following Network Connection error message pops up: "Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection".. This error window behaves the same way the Netscape sign-on window used to behave. Every time I click to close it it pops open again. After numerous clicks Firefox opens up but it never connects.

Do you have this error message on a Mac computer or on a Windows computer?
I've only seen this error mentioned on a Windows computer.

I created a wireless network with my Time Capsule but would like to connect this network to a WiFi Hotspot for Internet Access

I have created a Wirelss Network at home with the Time Capsule and would like to connect this network to the Internet.
I can't use LAN Cable to connect to it anything becasuse I usually use the WiFi that runs through my building.
Can I connect the Time Capsule to the WiFi hotspot somehow so that all computers on my network have Internet access and if so, what do I need?
I need this done because the computers can only be connected to either the WiFi network or to my Time Capsule Network at any given time.
Or is there a way to be connected to both networks simultaneously?
I have two PC's and two Macs.
Thank you for any support and I apologise for my ignorance. I am not too good with networking.
I have tried the silliest of things like connecting a router to the TC only to then realise that the TC had an inbuilt router.
I tried connecting a USB WiFI adapter to the USB Port on the TC but it doesnt detect it that way apparently.
Please help!

I have a kinda same problem @ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3531642
Please reply (somebody)!

Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost

in my downloads window in iTunes it shows i have "28 iTunes downloads available". when i try to download them, i get the error "Unable to check for available downloads. the network connection was lost."
my connection is fine though, as i can individually download purchases by clicking on the cloud icon.

I followed the advice on Holgr's link, i used screen flow to capture the error message, and then made the video available to apple support. My issue was immediately escalated, and my account started working again shortly after.
I received no additional messages from tech support, i had no idea the problem was resolved until i tried it again.

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out. This is for the latest ios for the iPod touch. Already walked through the steps to validate that all settings were correct with the firewall, Windows defender has been disabled. This has not been an issue with previous ios updates. Not sure what the issue here is.

Hi,
You might have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.
