Change Hostname on Wireless Network

Hi, I need to change the default name of my phone as it appears on my work's wifi network.  The default hostname (BLACKBERRY-XXXX) does not allow for quick identification - I need to be able to assign a specific, descriptive name to my particular device.  So far I have not been able to do this.  Given that RIM products are known for being business networking friendly, I doubt that this ability has been overlooked as it is pretty important, especially when there are lots of BB's on the same network.  Anybody know how to do this? Thanks.
Device Type: Blackberry 9800 Torch
Wireless Router: D-Link DGL 4500
OS is up to date.

Yuppers.  I would use a computer that has a cat5 attached to the router instead of wireless...but nonetheless
Open a browser (ie) and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.  leave username blank and the default password is admin.
Im thinking he probably changed the default password as on should so if that doesnt work you will need to reset the router (usually on the back there is a reset that you can depress for lets say a minute) and it will erase all settings returning it back to default.  If you have ppoe information from your provider it will erase that so make sure you have that info from your provider if needed.
anyways once in on the first page you can change the name of the router itself and under the "wireless" tab you can change the ssid to a name you like or if your not using wireless go ahead and disable wireless mode.
let us know how it goes

  • Change hostname (url) of Network Monitoring Server

    Hello Spiceworks,
    I recently installed the "network monitoring" product on our infrastructure, and we are currently evaluating it.
    This is an awesome product with a lot of potential :)
    I would like the links in the notification emails that the system is sending out to be accessable from both inside and outside my infrastructure, so I am running access from the outside through a proxy.
    I now need to change the URL's that are inserted into the notification emails, but I can't seem to find a way to configure it through the GUI.

    I've located the workstation that had the duplicate GUID and reset the image safe data, it now has its own GUID. The only problem is, because the ZCC contacts devices by hostname or IP address, it cant connect to the server (effectively itself) to update the record in ZCC.
    Is there a way I can edit the object (at least the hostname or IP address) in ZCC so that it can connect properly to update itself? Its currently very broken

    Hi Matt, I'd be tempted to have the server agent re-register.... but for this one (and the mishap a wrong step might cause), opening a call with Novell would be my suggestion.

  • The password for wireless network was changed.  Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

    The password for wireless network was changed.  Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

    You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
    Suggest you give that a try.

  • HT2497 Airport is not recognizing my wireless network because my wireless network has the same name as another apartment in my builing.  I cannot change the name because my room mate controls it, is there any way I can make it find my wireless network?

    It used to be that the other apartment with the same name didn't have theirs password protected so even though only one or the other would show up, I could always get onto one.  Now, they have password protected theirs and it seems to be that 100% of the time only theirs shows up which I only can tell because it says "invalid password" when I try to connect to the Internet.
    I have asked my room mate to just change the name of the network but she is really slow to do anything about it and I need to be able to get the internet at home and the internet is in her and set up through her computer so I really don't have any way of being the one to just go in and fix it myself.
    Is there any other way to make Airport recognize that there are two different networks with the same way so it will find mine?  I feel like I have tried everything including mannually typing in the name of my network and typing my password and it still just says "invalid password."  I have also double checked that I was typing in the correct password and I am.  My room mate is not having any problems accessing the Internet so I know the problem is not with our connection (she also has a Mac, almost the same model as me, I have a MacBook Pro purchased in 2011).  I am also able to connect to the Internet on my Mac at coffee shops and the library so I know that the problem is not my computer or my wireless connection so I'm pretty sure it is just that Airport is somehow only recognizing one of the two "WLAN" networks
    Any help???!

    Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

  • Connecting Printer to a new Wireless network (changed network provider)

    I have recently changed broadband provider and I am struggling to connect my printer (HP Deskjet 3050A All in One Printer) to my new wireless network.
    I have clicked on HP within programs and tried to set up the printer but my laptop is not recgonising that the printer is connected via the cable so its not picking up the printer in order for me to set it up as a new device.
    Help please??

  • I have an airport extreme and am trying to extend the range of the wireless network with an airport express.  I set it up with the help of apple support, both lights are green on both airports, but the range didn't change.  What could be wrong?

    I am trying to extend the range of my wireless network by adding an airport express to an airport extreme.  I configured it with the help of apple support, but it hasn't changed the range that I can access the internet wirelessly in my house.  What could be the problem?  Does weather affect the wireless network??

    So, on the Extreme you checked the box to "allow this network to be extened" ?
    Correct?
    And on the Express, you set it up to "Extend a wireless network" ?
    Correct?
    See this Apple article and see if you missed anything...

    To learn about other options for expanding your Wi-Fi base station wireless network and things you should consider before expanding your network, click here.
    Set up: Components of an extended network
    ➊  Primary Wi-Fi base station (this is the base station connected directly to the Internet)
    ➋  Extended base station
    Configuring a wireless extended network
    To create a wireless extended network, you must place any extended Wi-Fi base stations within range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
    Start with the device that will be configured as the primary Wi-Fi base station.  Then configure your extended Wi-Fi base stations, ensuring that each is within direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.The physical location of extended Wi-Fi base stations will vary according to the building environment and may require some experimentation.
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.

  • When I change the setting on my third generation time capsule to "extend a wireless network", the update fails. Why?

    I purchased a new router. Everything is working great except for a third-generation time capsule which will not accept a change from join a wireless network to extend a wireless network as it did before. Does anyone know how to fix that?

    You cannot extend a non-apple router..
    So what new router did you buy?? If it don't have an Apple Symbol on it.. it aint gonna work.

  • How do I change the name of my wireless network without screwing everything up?

    How do I change the name of my wireless network without screwing everything up?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for the updated information. Please change your profile when you can.
    If you change the network name, keep in mind that any device that connects now will need to connect again to your "new" network.
    On your Mac.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the upper right corner of the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the screen
    Edit/backspace out the current wireless network name and then type in the name that you want to use
    A few hints....avoid using blank spaces, and also avoid using any special characters like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc. Keep the name short....no more than 20 characters, fewer would be better and simpler to manage.
    Click Update at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart with the new settings. You are all set now.

    Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
    earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
    So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
    In case this helps:

  • Mac fails to connect to non-Apple wireless network (& changing channel?)

    [sorry to post this in two forums - I think I posted it in the wrong one before]
    I have a wireless network set up from a Netgear wireless router. My Windows XP computer automatically connects to the network every time. But my Mac (OS X 10.4.11) only connects about 50% of the time. The rest of the time it says "None of your trusted wireless networks could be found." Then when I click the airport icon in top right and select the network from the list, it says "There was an error joing the Airport network [network name]." When I click "Try again" a few times, it sometimes eventually connects, but other times it fails repeatedly. It is completely unpredictable.
    I have been looking for solutions on the internet. Lots of other people have problems connecting Macs to non-Apple wireless networks. But no one else seems to have this exact problem: my Mac connects some of the time, but not all. Anyone have any suggestions?
    (One idea I found was to change the channel that the Mac tries to use. How do I do this? I can't find "channel" anywhere under System Preferences - Network - Airport.)
    All OSs are fully updated, so that is not the problem.

    I travel extensively, and both my I-Mac G5 and Intel MacBook are very inconsistent in this regard. I do not think it is a router issue given the variety of networks I try to access. Additionally frustrating once a connection is made is that Internet Connect or Network Status will say I am connected to the Internet via Airport, yet Safari and Mail say I am not connected to the Internet.
    Network Diagnostics has never had an answer. More often than not i end up using my cellular card. but the Mac often has issues with that too... sporadic like first poster describes.

  • HELP!!!  WIRELESS NETWORK NAME CHANGE

    Does anyone know how to change the wireless network name on a linksys wireless-G router? I can find any software ANYWHERE that will work on a mac. is there any mac drivers or anything out there for this product?

    You need to use your web browser to acces the router. Does your documentation give you an IP address for the router or perhaps a web url? If so type that into your browser and the setting should become available. You will need a user name and password to reach the settings. This may be printed on the bottom of the router. Or try admin for the users name and password for the password.

  • Changing Wireless network name on Photosmart 5520

    I cannot print documents from my network and I think it it because of network confusion.

  • How to change the name of my wireless network?

    I would like to change the original name of my wireless network for a more personal name.
    How can I do it?

    If you are using an Apple router then use Airport Utility in the Utilities folder. Otherwise, consult the user manual for your router.

  • Airport Card won't connect after changing wireless networks

    Hello,
    I have a black macbook with an internal airport extreme wireless card. I use the computer at school and at home. Both school and home have functioning wireless networks in which other computers are connected and running with no problems.
    When I open my laptop and wake it from sleep after changing from school to home or visa versa the airport card often will not recognize the wireless network. On many occations, even when the network is recognized it will not automatically connect to it (I have it set to do). A message saying "There was an error joining the network" comes up. The only resolution has been to reset the computer (which doesn't always work) or reset the PRAM.
    Sometimes after reseting the PRAM the computer doesn't even recognize that I have an airport card installed at all. When this happens I have to reset the PRAM again to resolve it.
    As a final note, when the computer doesn't automatically recognize the network and I click on the desktop wireless network icon, I get the "spinning beach ball" for a period of time before the drop down box with the available networks shows up. This seems strange to me because it shouldn't be a RAM issue as I have 2GB of ram installed on this computer.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Try the following:
    Delete Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    - Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    - Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    - Restart, or log out then back in.
    Add Preferred Network(s)
    - System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    - In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    - Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    - Restart or log out then back in.
    If you haven't already, you may want to consider creating a network location for each (school & home) with the appropriate network settings required for connectivity at each. For each location, you can set the preferred network.
