Blocking a particular network

Every day when I come into work and open my MBP, it asks me if I want to connect to the network downstairs, so I have to say no. Is there any way to block a particular network, so my computer knows never to suggest connecting to it? I don't want to turn off Airport.

You can set up AirPort to connect only to Preferred Networks. If you are in 10.5, when you go into your Network preference click the Advanced button and the options will be there under AirPort. On the main Network screen, you can uncheck "Ask to join new networks."
If you want it to behave differently at work and at home or other places, set up a new network Location and give it different settings. That's what I do, I have Home and Work locations.

Is it possible to block a particular wi-fi network on the iPhone 3G?

Is it possible to block a particular wi-fi network on the iPhone 3G? We don't have a wi-fi network where I work, so I connect over 3G. Problem is, another company on the floor below us does have a wi-fi network which keeps popping up in my "Choose a wireless network" list. I don't have access to their network, so I'd like to put that on a blocked list of sorts so that I don't see it pop up every time I try to open the App Store, Safari or my mail.
Any suggestions?

I guess turning off the "Ask to Join Networks" option is the easiest, although it sorta ***** having to disable a feature on the phone that would have uses elsewhere (i.e. sometimes you get to a place that has wi-fi that you wouldn't normally expect to - with the option turned off, you'll never know it). It'd be awesome to have some sort of config file that you could put "Network X" on a Do Not Join list, though...

I've been getting some junk websites while I am working. I need to block them completely.
Please advise. Thanks,

There is no equivalent in Firefox. You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145/ BlockSite] extension to add a similar feature.
If the junk sites are coming up whilst you are browsing, this may be caused by malware. You should consider scanning your computer with some malware programs. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

How can we block, a particular payment term for a particular vendor.

Dear Experts,
How can we block, a particular payment term for a particular vendor.
BR.
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
If you want to block payment term for "particular vendor" then you need to define a validation rule.
As per my understanding, the link provided by Owen will block term for all vendors.

A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before?

A particular network user can't login to a mac in a classrom but other network users can. Then the network user can login to other identical macs in same classroom. Anyone seen this before? It has happen twice. Two different teachers in two different classrooms entering the correct user name and passwords and computer won't allow them to login. Then they try in different computers in same classroom and have no problem login.

Yes. I can login with a test user. And any other network user can login as well to this particular mac. Actually the mac has bootcamp and boots into either mac or windows. The same user entering the same login username and password can login into the windows side, but not the mac side.
I had this same issue last semester in another classroom, another mac and a different teacher. This summer I reformatted and imaged that mac and I asked that teacher to login today to that reimagened mac and she had no problem today doing so.

How can I block a particular program and not the whole channel?

I want to block a particular program. When I am trying to that, it blocks whole channel. How can I do that?
Second Q is: can I have two parental control pins to block programs?

Then there is no point to use it for me. Some channels require parental control for some programs, so this option should be available.Someone can argue that then "why don't you lock whole channel and unlock whenever you want to use it." I want to avoid locking-unlocking by locking specific programs.
Comcast has this option of locking specific program as well locking channel!

How to block a particular website in Firefox?

I want to block a particular website in Firefox so as to prevent my children from browsing that.I have done that in IE and GC. But,unable to do in Firefox.

The best way to do this is not by browser but by using parental controls. Blocking in a browser can always be bypassed (usually very easily). [[Block and unblock websites with parental controls]]

Block domain page appears and states page is blocked on this network

Websites i normally use are been blocked. All of these sites are safe and decent to use by everybody. Blocked Domain page appears stating that the page is blocked on this network. Can't access emails, even some mozilla links appear as blocked too!!!!

I think that your extension is causing an issue.
Try disabling the <i>Block Site</i> extension.

Blocking a particular wireless network?

I'd like to prevent Airport from seeing or connecting to a particular wireless network - is that possible? If so, how?
I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, version 10.4.11.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi ghuggins, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I don't think you can block it showing up, but you can stop it connecting to it.
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select that access point.
Remove that access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete that access point keychain entry if it exists.
Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point, if not there. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

How can I use my Airport to block a particular IP or MAC?

I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.9.5 connected via WiFi to an 4th generation AirPort Time Capsule. I think that this is also an an AirPort Extreme, but I am not sure. Anyway, here is the problem: I want to block access to my local WiFi network from two or three unidentified users. Thanks to Who's On My WiFi, I have an IP and a MAC address for each. If I remember correctly, this was possible in the old days (circa 2008) by using some of the more advanced settings in AirPort Utility. I opened Airport Utility today and it appears to have been simplified to the point where you can't do much with it these days. Is there a way to accomplish what I want to do that is reasonably simple? I am not a power user.

Yes, welcome to the Fisher Price toy box utility.. where nothing in the way of advanced usage is offered.

You can put time controls onto the offending addresses.
But if the hackers know anything at all they know how to access the MAC address of the computer and change it.. so the effectiveness of this is limited.
Change the current setup and password.. You must use WPA2 Personal and I recommend you use a pure alphanumeric password, mix case and numbers of 20 characters or more for your situation.. do not give that password to anyone.. protect the admin password of the TC itself equally well but with a different password. And protect the physical access to the TC from anyone in your home.. because the fact is all security on the TC is an illusion if the TC has open access.
See how to find passwords here.
i forgot my password for my router, how can I change them.
So anyone can discover your passwords without your knowledge and leave no trace on your system.
If you make no progress.. I suggest replacement of the TC as the main router of your network.. you need something with controls.. and even better controls that allow you to block people.
The favourite one now is older Netgear WNDR3800 . .you might need to buy from ebay although a few new ones are still around.. alternatively the WNDRMACv2 is simply the same hardware in a white box.. instead of black.
Load gargoyle firmware onto it.. sorry if I even point to where you can find this info my post will be deleted.. I can say it.. just cannot help further.. so use google.. there are lots of posts and let me assure you this get combo.
You can continue to use TC at what it does best.. a dumb wireless AP and location for TM backups.

Firewall blocks Apple's Network Time Protocol

Hi,
I admit to not fully understanding everything about the Firewall on OS X server 10.4.11 and I'm hoping someone can help with a little(?) problem.
On the WAN side, my "gateway" server is connected directly to my SpeedTouch 780 modem with a fixed IP address. On the LAN side are a couple of switches and then an Airport Extreme base station (192.168.2.249). This broadcasts wirelessly to a more distant Airport Express (192.168.2.247). Both WiFi devices are configured to obtain the time from Apple's European servers.
After completing a Carbon Copy Cloner of my OS partition and rebooting on my usual volume I noticed the following denials in my Firewall log:
Dec 28 12:50:16 nl1 ipfw: 65534 Deny UDP 17.72.255.12:123 192.168.2.249:3987 in via en0
Dec 28 12:40:25 nl1 ipfw: 65534 Deny UDP 17.72.255.12:123 192.168.2.247:3814 in via en0
In SA --> Firewall --> Settings --> Services --> Edit Services for: 192.168.1-net (en0/modem connection)
I have the "Allow only traffic for: 192.168.1-net on these ports" checked and
NTP - Network Time Protocol UDP/TCP is also checked.
Under, Edit Services for: any
I have the "Allow only traffic for: any" checked and
NTP - Network Time Protocol UDP/TCP is also checked.
Under, Edit Services for: 192.168.2-net (en1/LAN)
I have the "Allow all traffic for: 192.168.2-net" checked.
1) Why is this traffic being blocked?
2) Why does the port number seem to get changed in transit? (I've got NAT running and Open Directory).
3) Does the configuration under, "Allow only traffic for: any" overrule all other Firewall settings? So if for example a port under, "Allow only traffic for: 192.168.1-net on these ports" wasn't checked but was under, "Allow only traffic for: any", would the traffic be allowed through?
Thanks and happy new year!
Michael Franks

Do you have NTP activated? Does it work? If it doesn't and you have the firewall activated, then open the required port. If it is working then don't worry about it.

How to block WBS or Network element field in Service Entry Sheet ML81n

Hi Guru
Would like to seek your advise on the following query.
We use Service master to trigger Purchase Order Service related (Item category = D; AAC = P).
Then, user will use T\code ML81n to create service entry sheet by reference to Purchase Order and service master document. During Service entry sheet creation, usually WBS element or Network element field will be populated automatically based on the information from Purchase Order.
However, user could overwrite the WBS element or Network element in service entry sheet. Thus, it creates discrepency WBS\Network element between PO and Entry Sheet.
1. Is there any way we could retrieve Service entry sheet not to allow user to update the WBS\network element field?
2. What will be the impact if we block the field from user.
Please advise

Hi Rag
Thanks for your reply.
When I trace the service master, there is no specify field to input WBS element.
Also, I have checked the service master entered by user, it seems that only the following fields are filled:-
Service Category
BuoM
Mat\Service Group
Valuation class
The rest of field are remained as blank as it might due to multiple WBS element shared 1 same service master
Please advise how I should block the WBS element from service entry to prevent overwriting.
Thanks
