Block Internet Provider
I have two internet connection at my home. Qwest and Ptera. I have Dish Network with the sling box that allows me to watch live TV and recorded content on a PC or Smart Phone.
I first connected my Dish DVR to my Qwest DSL for testing - I downloaded the Dish Network AP on to my Smart Phone and watched live TV on it.
Great it works.
So I then connected my Dish DVR to Ptera (which has the 15 times faster uploads) and then went to work (also a Ptera connection) and watched live TV with Dishonline on my PC. But when I tried to watch it on my phone the app said that my DVR was not connected to the internet. Woa.
So when I went back home I ran diagnostics on my DVR and it said it was properly connected to the internet. Tried the app again and it still said my DVR was not connected.
I unplugged my DVR from Ptera and plugged into my Qwest connection and verified the DVR internet connection.
I then tried the App again and it worked fine.
Plugged my DVR back into Ptera and again the app said my DVR was connected to the internet.
So any time I try to stream from my Ptera connection to Verizon it is blocked.
I would like to know why and how to get it fixed.
My Ptera connection is far better to use for streaming data from.
You probably can not do so if an internet provider blocks it.
There may be alternatives see [/questions/940600]

Hi,My router does not block internet access on my other PC. I tryed "Always" tryed specific addresses, tryed IP addresses and everything tech support suggested. I even replaced the router at their advise. Nothing helped. I realize that the problem is not the router but probably my home network configuration, but I can't figure out what is it. To my defence, so couldn't they Does anybody have or had such a problem?Thank you

Assuming you have an ACL to block your /24, add an ACE to allow access to known email server IPs or open up the ports used by pop (usually port 25), or do both. -

I have just changed mt internet provider and cannot get my apple tv to work now!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing your ISP may cause some issues but not so far as I am aware a problem with it connecting to your TV.
Have you changed anything else, what troubleshooting steps have you taken so far. -
My internet provider changed, so my username changed. I need to be able to reset my appleid NOT my password. I can't find a way to do this. Here is a scenario. I want to go into the app store to update apps, so a box pops up asking for my password, but shows my appleid as the old name. I have reset the appleid on my mac and itunes at home and works there, but when I try to go into things on the ipad, it automatically comes up with a window asking for my password, but for my old id name. I went to the manage your id section, but it won't let me in because it wants the password to the old name. So I think I need to reregister the ipad with my new userid. Icloud, Itunes, app store, everything like that won't let me in because they still show the user id as the old name.
On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

My Internet provider is Comcast Xfinity. When I open Safari it goes to my Xfinity homepage. I can sign into my email OK, but when I attempto to access my Email Inbox, nothing happens. The connections just spins indefinitly. what is wrong? I am operating Maverick OS X 10.9 .2
Might be a cookies and cache issue ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Login to your Comcast account.
In case you are not aware, you can avoid having to use Safari to access your Comast email account by setting up your account via Mac Mail.

Hi, I work in Healthcare and use all Apple products at home and work. However, my knowledge on software in general is pretty average. I recently got an email from my At&t internet provider saying that one of my devices at home is acting as a zombie computer as part of a 'botnet' computer network. I have no clue what this is. However, I recently opened an old windows laptop that I havent used in 2 years to download some software which was not Mac compatible. I am pretty sure this wndows laptop has no antivirus on it. The date and time At&t mentioned that they found some bot infection coincided with the time I opened my old laptop. They also mentioned that for security reasons, they obscurred my ip address. Have no clue what that means!! They suggested me the following :
Botnets are networks of computers which have been infected with malicious software and placed under the control of a hacker or group of hackers. They are often used for attacks on websites, spamming, fraud, and distribution of malicious software. Because bots are designed to run in secret, an infected computer may display no obvious symptoms.
To address this problem we ask that you take the following actions. If your computer(s) are managed by an Information Technology (IT) group at your place of work, please pass this information on to them.
If you use a wireless network, an infected computer may be using your Internet connection without your knowledge. Ensure that your wireless router is password-protected and using WPA or WPA2 encryption (use WEP only if WPA is not available). Check the connections to the router and ensure that you recognize all connected devices.
Update the security software on your system and install any necessary service packs or patches.
When you have taken action, please respond by forwarding this email to [email protected] with an acknowledgement of: “I am taking steps to address this infection.” When we receive such an acknowledgment, we can maintain the high quality of service you expect from us. We welcome feedback on what removal tools or methods were used.
Regards,
AT&T Internet Services Security Center
I spoke with the customer care person at At&t and probably it is the weekend and no one could give me a specific answer on what needs to be done. One guy suggested to download McAfee for Mac from At&t website, which I did. However, I still have no clue, if my computer is infected. I disconnected the wireless network connection on my old windows laptop. I use a personal iphone, itouch and ipad for work, ipad, Mac air at home. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. This is really stressing me out. Thanks!!First, remove the worthless McAfee product according to the developer's instructions.
If there really is a bot on your network, it's almost certainly the Windows PC. Since you've taken it offline, you can inform the ISP that the problem has been addressed. If you get another such warning, ask for details. -
How to block internet connection for a period of time?
Hey guys is there a way to block internet connection via a lan connection for a period of time? A program that when my pc is boot up it run secretly and at the time schedule it block the internet connection with no pop up. When i not at home some person
used my pc to use my internet connection everyday. I can't lock up my pc since my brother or my dad used it.
Hi,
You could create a schedule task to achieve this.
The detailed solution please refer to this thread:

Hi there
I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
Really really appreciate any answers to this one.Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Hi,
my HP multi-function laserjet printer worked fine on my windows 7 laptop, via wifi connection, in the past ;
recently changed internet provider, and since, I do not manage to install the printer so that it works continuously.
After initial install (via cable connection between laptop and printer), all seems fine ;
I select "share with all users" ;
=> all OK, everything prints, for both users.
Problem:
Next time another user or myself try to print, just a couple of days later - nothing works anymore ;
NO error message ;
printer job is visible in queue ;
printer is visible (and selected as default printer) in "devices and printer" with a green checking mark, but in light grey, as if inactive.
When (right-)clicking "troubleshoot", no error is found.... but nothing prints, still.
How can I avoid doing the reinstall every time I want to print from my laptop???
(Printing from my tablet works fine !)
Would be very greatful for your help..... thanks in advance!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi @KatLe ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing from different user accounts. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I have provided a document for setting Security permissions for printing to see if that will help.
Can the Administrator Account on the computer print, or are they having intermittent issues also?
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Blocking internet access in a virtual windows xp box
Is there a way to block internet access when I have a virtual windows xp box within Windows 7?
The reason, is I just want to run one application and restrict internet access as I some users are restricted from the internet.
Thanks
JohnHi, Juke.
I'm afraid I'm a dummy, and don't know how to do this. I'm sure as April 8 approaches, a lot of people with important DOS or XP apps will be wanting to insulate their XP VM from potential hacking while still running programs locally.
Thanks -- Dave K. -
I am unable to retrieve my emails since yesterday. I called Time Warner Cable, my Internet provider, but they could not help me; they stated that the settings had changed, since they were upgrading. I adjusted the settings, but still get an error message:
Alert
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "Mail 1" or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server "smtp.roadrunner.com" on port 110 timed out.
I changed the server, and the port, as Time Warner Cable tech rep recommended, but to no avail. They recommended I delete my current email account and recreate it, but that I check with Apple first, because I might lose my contact list (and any email messages I'd previously saved!?). They suggested Apple might be able to tell me how to not lose the contacts, emails, profile.

Battery time wrong after upgrading to new conky
I use conky and have a section which tells me if the battery is active and if so what's the percentage and how long do i have left until the battery dies. It was working fine, with the right time estimation until i upgraded to the new conky version
