Can I only bridge my network, rather than extending it?
I have an airport extreme, which I'm trying to use as a bridge for the wired devices in my entertainment system for HD streaming. It mostly works, but has problems with multiple devices are active on the network. The other end of the connection is a current model Time Capsule. The Extreme is a previous generation (the flat style).
What I really want is only a bridge, but the option in the Airport utility is to "Extend a wireless network". So, clients connect to the airport in the living room rather than the access point farther away.
Can this be controlled?
Unfortunately, if you try to configure the AirPort Extreme to operate only as a bridge (Join a wireless network)...and not an extender....the Ethernet ports are not enabled on the device in that type of configuration, so it is virtually useless in that regard.
Try to minimize the obstructions in the wireless signal path between the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme as much as possible. Ideally, you want line-of-sight between the devices.
Ironically, a less expensive AirPort Express can be configured to "join" a wireless network....and....the Ethernet port is enabled when you do this.
The only way to try to control what device that computers connect to is temporarily turn off the WiFi on a Mac or iOS device, move it near the wireless access point and turn the WiFi back on to see if the device will pick up a signal from the closest and strongest access point.
Actually, a Mac laptop will usually automatically switch access points as it moves from one area to another and pick up the best signal from the closest access point, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad will not usually do this, since they have much simpler operating systems.

Can I install the online version rather than using my dvd? it successfully installed (up to a point) that way, it just wont accept my serial number for some reason. my dvd isnt working properly.
If it gets far enough to reject your serial number, it won't help to download it. It must have installed ok.
What is the message you get (DON'T tell us the serial number!!)?
Does it mention a "qualifying product" by any chance? -
How can I use "t3://becluster:6001" rather than "t3://dcsv02,dcsv01:6001"
I have 2 machines in a cluster (dcsv01 and dcsv02) (HP UNIX with weblogic server
5.1 sp8) and 1 Windows PC with weblogic 5.1 sp10.
I try to make a t3 connection between the PC and the cluster of machines.
On the Windows PC I have the following configuration for the
"c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts" :
171.1.70.61 becluster
171.1.70.62 becluster
where
"171.1.70.61 is dcsv01 and
171.1.70.62 is dcsv02 "
If I connect my PC to the cluster with :
hp.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://dcsv01, dcsv02:6001"); :
I have a great failover mechanism : if any of the machine (dcsv01 or dcsv02) are
down the requests are routed to the other one.
BUT!! If I connect my PC to the cluster with :
hp.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://becluster:6001"); :
I have a not great failover mechanism :
say that my windows hosts file looks like :
171.1.70.61(dcsv01) becluster
171.1.70.62(dcsv02) becluster
then if dcsv02 is down then all requests are routed to dcsv01 and that is fine.
BUT!! if dcsv01 is down then I got on my PC the
"Bootstrap unable to get a t3 connection to dcsv01" exception and failover does
not work. (not the way that it does with t3://dcsv01, dcsv02:6001 )
So how can I use
"t3://beclsuter:6001" rather than
"t3://dcsv01, dcsv02:6001" with the same failover service????
Thanks

Can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what will hap
hai,
can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what happends going in bw regarding performance issues like indexes
let me know
regards,
muraliHi Murali,
you can load the transaction data before master data. The main impact will be, that the system has to generate sid's and has to populate the sid-table of the master data objects while loading the data to a data target (cube or ods that is activated for bex reporting). This basically means that your data loads will take some more time. Additionally, if you need the master data attributes somewhere in your update or transfer rules, you will not get the correct information.
So basically it is always a good approach to load and activate the master data before loading the transactional data. But anyway, specially in the development environment I usually don't load all the necessary master data.
regards
Siggi
PS: navigational attributes of the data targets will not be available until you loaded the master data and scheduled the attribute and hierarchy change run.

I downloaded a tv epsiode, but it doesn't show the entire 42 minutes. All I get is a clip of 30 seconds, rather than the entire 42 minute episode. I have tried to download the episode again, but it wont allow me to and I have also tried to download the series, but if I do that it wont deliver the epsiode that I already have suposedly downloaded. Anyone have any idea how to help?

How can I file at last location rather than location of current file?
I have Abobe Reader X. In the old Adobe, when I saved a file, it took me to the last folder I was in, not the location of the current file. Thus far, I have not been able to find out how to get Adobe Reader X to do this. I even asked work help desk for help and their solution to unclick 'Automatically save document changes to temp file' worked once.
Is it possible? This is what I want.
Example:
I open file that is saved at Y:Scanned Files and save it at
X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis. I open the next file that is at Y:Scanned Files and click on File:Save As/PDF and window opens to save at Y:Scanned Files rather than at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis, where I just was. I want to save file at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Afghans so instead of just one click, I now have to go through six. Now imagine you have 30 or 40 documents you have to save. That's minimum 180 clicks versus 30. A big difference. And if you multiply it further by daily and weekly, it's a lot.
How can I get Adobe Reader X to open the 'save as' window at the last location rather than the current file's address? I also have Adobe Acrobat, but can't figure out how to get it work in that either.
I do not like Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately, it got downloaded automatically at work.
Another complaint I have is when I have Adobe Acrobat open and I click on a pdf to open, rather than open in Adobe Acrobat, it opens in Adobe Reader X (which was not the case with the previous Reader). If I want to open a doc in Acrobat, I have to go to Acrobat and File/Open, which is a pain.
Another complaint is, why do you have 'save as' and then 'pdf' or 'text'? This is another time consuming click I have to make. Add it to the 180 I'm already making above and you can see why I'm extremely unhappy and frustated with this version of Adobe.
Please let me know if the above is feasible or not and if it is, how to do it. If it isn't feasible, please make the above adjustments to Reader Y and put it out pronto. Thank you.If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they may be able to help you.

Can connetct only to local network machines
Hello
I can only connect to my local machines and not outside network, i get access denied all the time when i try, yet when i am there on that network with my powerbook i can connect within the network.
please advise.you mean the apple remote desk top should be checked in the firewall of the machines iam trying to control?
Well yes, the system firewall has to be set to allow ARD. But again, I mean that you need to open the ports in the router that connects your home LAN (which I presume is what you mean) to the Internet.
You may also have to forward them if your router is an NAT device (i.e. it's assigning IP addresses to the workstations rather than your ISP having given you several). The ramifications of using NAT with ARD have been covered here many times already; just search the forum for "NAT". -
Can Mail work on a network other than my home?
Hi all,
I apologize up front if this is a really basic question.
The program Mail works great for me at home. But, when I take my laptop to my office, or I use it at a coffee shop, or wherever, I can't send emails. It'll access the server and get emails, but I can't send them. My mac email is IMAP, rather than POP, if that makes a difference.
Is this something that I should be able to do, or does Mail need to be hooked up to my home network to work properly?
Thanks!
KevinIt sounds like you're trying to use an SMTP server for your outgoing mail that doesn't work away from home. As an anti-spam measure, some ISPs only allow the use of their outgoing mail servers from computers within their network. When you're away from home that test fails.
In some cases it's possible to change your SMTP server settings so that you authenticate via password instead of location. Check with your ISP for more details. -
HT4262 Airport Extreme "Snow" to "Extend Network" (rather than WDS)
Can I use "extend" rather than "WDS" to increase wireless coverage on the "Snow Dome" Wireless G version of airport Extreme?
I see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
I DON'T see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
I want to extend my ATT U-Verse wireless network.
I want to extend my friend's wireless network (Non-ATT / unknown smaller provider)Can I use "extend" rather than "WDS" to increase wireless coverage on the "Snow Dome" Wireless G version of airport Extreme?
No, the "extend" feature was introduced in 802.11"n" routers. You have an older 802.11 "b/g" device which is not compatible with the "extend" feature.
I want to extend my ATT U-Verse wireless network.
ATT U-Verse routers are not compatible with Apple products if you are trying to "extend" using wireless only.
I see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
Correct
I DON'T see this option for the new airport Extreme base stations that have 802.11 N.
I'm guessing that you meant to say.........Extreme base stations that are 802.11"b/g" only....and not N as you mentioned. As mentioned above, this older version of the Apple router does not have a setting to "Extend a wireless network"
I want to extend my friend's wireless network (Non-ATT / unknown smaller provider)
Apple's "extend" feature will only work with other Apple 802.11n routers, if you are trying to "extend" using wireless only.
