Can I purchase something to gain internet access on the go?
I've seen commercials for USB-Drive type gadgets that plug into the side of your laptop and allow internet. Can you buy something like this?
Yes, sorry, I've been following so many posts regarding the Airport problem that I jumped in too soon. As Lyssa stated the Airlink USB is a substitute for the MacBook Airport Card, when mine stopped working months ago.
Again, my apologies and I hope your cell phone provider can offer a solution.

I recently purchased an i pad and have the internet at home, I am also a truck driver and once i leave home, I won't have the internet unless I stop close to where there is wifi, is there anything out there that I can purchase so I will have the internet at all times
I purchased a Verizon MIFI 2200 mobile hotspot with my forst generation iPad almost tow years ago so that I could have internet access with my WiFi only iPad and my iPod Touch. All in all it is pretty reliable but as varjak paw stated above...
"Either of course will be dependening on your being in a location where the carrier provides cell coverage".
Like my cell phone - there are locations where the MIFI doesn't play nice with the cellular networks and it may struggle to find a good signal. On the other hand, sometimes my connection zips along quite nicely. Just keep that in mind - if and when you decide to purchase a mobile hotspot. -
I have an iPhone 4 with ios 6 with hotspot capability. Can I use this hotspot to gain internet access for my Nexus 7? And if so, does it require a tether cable or can I access via bluetooth? Was given the Nexus as a gift, would not have been my choice because of wi fi access capability restrictions. I am very technically challenged. Any help would be appreciated.

clearly they are trying to create a hotspot from a wifi internet connection but don't want to use cellular.
Perhaps it's the only device that can connect ( ie Hotel wifi)
If the iPhone can connect to the wifi, the computer can connect to the wifi.
Why use the iPhone to connect to wifi then connect the computer to the iPhone via wifi to get the computer onto hotel wifi? -

Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com

After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

Can anyone tell me how I keep everything I had in my old photoshop, now I've updated to Photoshop CC 2014. It did give me the option to transport over all my presets, but because I didn't have internet access at the time, it couldn't do it. Now I'm not getting the option. Please help.
Migrating Presets does not require a network connection and you can still migrate your cc presets if you still have CC installed. Use Photoshop menu Edit>Presets>Migrate Presets... Migrating presets only migrates presets. It does not migrate Plugins, settings, extensions and scripts. CC 2014 is also not completely backwards compatible with CC. Support for Flash Panels and Oil Painter filter have been removed. So extensions like mini bridge no longer work in CC 2014

Internet access to the guest system for Host-Only configuration
Hello,
I have a windows host linux guest vBox environment and it's configured as host-only. How can I enable internet access within the guest? I am towards the end of a RAC installation and upon running buildcluster.sh, it says the recommended RPM "oracle-validated" not installed or has unsatisfied dependencies. It seems i have quite a few RPMs need to download and thus prefer to be able to connect to the internet within the guest so i can do it from the Oracle yum server.
Thanks,
HarryHi,
this won't work so easiliy with a "Host Only" network.
You either need a bridges network or a NAT network.
Easiest thing probably will be to add another interface (network) to the VM and assigned it as bridged.
Then download/update oracle-validated and remove the interface again.
This way, you don't need to change anything on the server.

is there a difference between the LG EnV3 and the LG EnV3 VX9200 is this the same phone. the reason I ask is because one says it has internet access and the other one doesn't
It the same phone but you don't have to have data on it if you don't want since they are older phones. We had these phones without data as I didn't think they would be good for surfing the net compared to a smart phone. Mary

Gaining Internet access through an Aironet 1300
I set up wireless networks in feedyards using the Aironet 1300 as a Work Group Bridge. Typically the bridge is setup out in the middle of the feedyard to broadcast an SSID, with an Omni Directional antenna. We mount a patch antenna on the office and have it connect to the SSID using a Buffalo Ethernet converter. My question is, if the office has internet, how can I get the internet out in the feedyard. Yes the computers on the office network do have internet and can communicate with the pc's out in the feedyard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
if we are using 1300 WGB and we have same SSID on the "root" side i.e. your office, then users connected to this WGB should be able to access internet. Are we using same SSID on both sides for internet access? Are we using any VLAN? Is there any security setting we are using on WGB or on our root AP? -
Connect an old iMac to a MacBook via ethernet to gain internet access?
I have a 2008 white macbook running 10.6.8
I have a 2004 lamshade G4 800mhz imac running 10.4.11
I do not have a wireless card for the imac and it is no where near my router.
Is there any way to connect the imac to the macbook with an ethernet cable and use the macbooks internet on the imac? If so, can you give me the step by step directions?Connect an ethernet cable from the MacBook to the iMac.
From the Macbook, do System Preferences > Sharing and turn ON "Internet Sharing.
Set the options so they look like this:
except click the checkbox so internet sharing is "on." (I didn't turn it on when I made the screnshot.)
That should route internet servtce from the wireless access of the MB to the iMac.
You should be able to use a standard cat5 patch cable but. if that doesn't work, try either connecting via an ethernet hub or use a crossover cat5 cable. I think the iMac is new enough to not require a crossover but I add this as an option. -

Problems in Internet access in the middle being a modem and Linksys RV016
Good afternoon, I have another problem with Cisco Linksys RV016 Router, the router used to connect to ADSL Internet 3 links which these in turn give direct service to a server right now each of them, the idea is to connect the 3 modems LAN router and connect the server, this is no problem so far. The point is that here at my work people access to Remote Access Servers for Windows and VNC TightVNC or my servers with Linux (ask why not login at TeamViewer or LogMeIn, but it is another matter), the idea is to leave as they are, that everything is apparent and improve systems with load balancing (Router). The modem has ports open for remote access the 3389, are accessed without nigun problem, but when connecting the router and can not, I opened the same ports in Router and name and works.
Servers handle the no-ip.org for access and name resolution on DNS and so with that name assigned by the no-ip is where remote access from the Internet.
I do not know if you understand, but I hope someone help me with this.
In advance thank you very much and greetings.Look, the first phase of my work to be done is to try a single server and it has Windows Server 2008, you explain:
1. This ADSL modem connected directly to a single server (Windows).
2. It is accessed without any problem by remotely from another network and / or from the Internet via remote access.
3. The modem has port 3389 open to allow remote access from another network or Internet (up to here is my current scheme and there is no problem).
4. Connect between the modem and Linksys RV016 router server.
5. I open the same ports with the modem for remote access.
6. If I have Internet server.
7. Remote access is not working.
As time??? something can be done to solve this problem. The server as you mentioned earlier is running as a service no-ip.org for publication DNS name and not have to be constantly changing the IP by automatic changes made by the supplier (eg server name and for which so is taken from the internet: servidorwin.no-ip-org).
See if you explain me better.
Thanks in advance and greetings.
