Connecting to an outside network

Hi
Do i have to join a seperate network when i want to view the internet away from my usuall destination, IE my house???

Not really, but it is always a good idea to practice safe computing.  Keep in mind that when you join a public network, other people may be able to "see" your transmitted information, so do not send sensitive information such as bank account numbers over unsecure, puiblic networks.  If you do things like banking or on-line purchasing, be sure you are using a secure link, usually indicated by things like a URL with https...where the s means it is encrypted and secure.
Accessing your iPhone or portable device is not an easy thing to do, just use common sense about leaving it sit attached to a public network for long periods, things like that.

  • How can I remotely connect to VM outside of Internal Network without connecting to Host Machine?

    I am running Windows 7 in a VM: The VM was setup using Hyper-V within Windows Server 2012 R2. First, I configured the
    Linksys router Port Forwarding for TCP 3389 and 3390. To both IP addresses. I also created Firewall Inbound Rules for Port 3389 and 3390.
    To connect within Network, I simply enter the VM IP address or Computer Name, username and password and the connection is successful. I am also able to connect to the Host Machine out of my local Network by using the
    Public IP address.
    The Problem:
    When I attempt to access the VM, lets say at a Caribou or the Library, or any other outside Network, I am landing into the Host Machine instead of the VM.
    For example:
    To log into the VM outside, I used the same Public IP address, the username and password to the VM but I am landing in the Host machine with an error message that the user is invalid.
    I have also tried the following: Computer Name:3389 but not successful.
    How do I access the VM so that the connection is not going to the Host?

    What I have done in the past for this is to configure different ports on the router.  Generally your router will have a single public IP address. Let's just call it 1.1.1.1. Then in my router I configure ports to be forwarded.  Let's assume your
    Hyper-V host is 192.168.2.100 and your VM is 192.168.2.101.  On the router I configure some port, for example 43100 to be forwarded to 192.168.2.100:3389 for the host.  For the VM, port 43101 is forwarded to 192.168.2.101:3389.
    Then when I access from the public internet, I connect to 1.1.1.1:43100 for the host or 1.1.1.1:43101 for the VM.

  • ASA 5505 unable to connect inside or outside

    Hello,
    I'm extremely new to router configurations, and am attempting to configure a backup ASA 5505 to use as a temporary access point in the event that our main ASA becomes unavailable. What I have done is loaded the running config from our main ASA onto the backup, and have made changes to necessary routes, IPs, etc. I can connect to it from a remote computer without problem, but I cannot access any of our servers, nor can I access the internet. I have also tried modifying the access list and NAT rules every which way from Sunday, but I still cannot get this thing to allow any information through. I keep getting "failed to locate egress interface for UDP from outside" errors.
    We are using Cisco AnyConnect to connect , and mind you, since the config for this backup ASA was taken from our main, it still has the original certificate info and profiles. I was told that this wouldn't matter, but I thought I should mention in case I need to remove any of it from the config.
    Here is part of the config file. I took out some information, but tried to keep it understandable. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • IPhone connects to secured WiFi network, but can't access Internet

    Problem: iPhone connects to my secured home WiFi network, shows WiFi strength bars at top of screen, displays checkmark, lock, power, and blue arrow on WiFi Networks screen; however, cannot access Internet, iTunes store, stocks, Weather or anything else.
    Tests I've run:
    1. iPhone itself:
    ---DCHP:

    3. Microsoft router MN-500:
    Tried this old router (the one I used before purchasing the LinkSys). It is an old (circa 2002) Wireless B base station with WEP Security. The iPhone was never able to connect to the Internet using various settings, many of which were duplicates of the LinkSys tests above.
    On both routers my wife's Dell laptop and my HP printer connect without incident, using the same network/security settings.
    I have always been able to connect to various unsecured WiFi networks; I have never been able to connect to a secure WiFi network (although the only one I've really tried has been my own).
    I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

    SUCCESS!!!!!
    I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
    I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
    Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
    SUCCESS!!!
    Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

  • Airport Express and outside network interference

    I have been having some difficulty staying connected to my Airport Express lately. I'm running a Power Mac G4 MDD (airport card) and an iBook 933mhz (airport extreme card), and an iMac (wired to a router). The airport express is also cabled to the router, which is connected to the cable modem. Everything worked fine from February to about 2 weeks ago. No dropouts or anything. The airport admin utility is set up as follows:
    -Wireless mode: Create a wireless network (home router)
    -WPA personal wireless security
    -Channel - 11 (I have experimented with all channels)
    -Mode 802.11b/g compatible
    Wireless options
    -multicast rate 5.5
    -interference robustness enabled
    -transmit power 100%
    The iBook, I noticed this evening, seems to be picking up an outside network. The power mac doesn't seem to pick it up though. Im thinking it has to do with the difference between the 802.11b card in the Power mac and the 802.11g card in the iBook. Although the two wireless computers drop the connection, I also noticed this evening, that the Power mac seems more susceptible to the dropout (the connection isn't always lost at the same time). I also have a difficult time reestablishing the connection. I'm starting to think my problem lies in the channel setting, except none of them seem to make much difference. What other options do I have to limit this interference????

    Jason
    first let me start saying that it might not solve your problem, however, I was told, by an Apple engineer in charge of the networking for an Apple event, that in case of a mixed network (b and g) set the airport to be b only. He gave me the reasons, but I can not remember.
    I used to have my network in b (I have a mixed setting), but since I have 2 airport xpress, one is set to "b" the other is set to "g".
    I have had no problems.
    Now, since I do not think this will solve your problem, you should check to see if there is any signal of an external interference going on.
    Do your problems happen more frequently at a certain times.
    Something new in the neighborhood ? So on and so forth.

  • DirectAccess + AirCard + docked to corporate LAN = OUTSIDE Network

    We're deploying laptops and tablets with windows 8.1 and are having an issue where the network location service determines the system is "outside" and DirectAccess constantly attempts to connect when the system is connected to the domain network. 
    The odd behavior is that the domain network connection takes the name of the wifi/air card connection they were using when the error happened.
    We're at a loss to figure out what is causing this.
    We have verified that the DHCP server is handing out and the client receives appropriate IP address, netmask, and DNS server information.
    DNS appears to resolve in IE but the same name will fail a ping with a could not be found error.  Run nslookup and it connects to the name server and returns names.
    Sometimes all it takes to trigger the error is to dock a system with an active air card connection (DirectAccess connected) and then the system determines the lan connection is OUTSIDE the network and the devices no longer act as if they are domain connected.
    We thought there might be an issue with the CRL list on the cert associated with the NLS server as the prior admin failed to configure our PKI infrastructure to post a CRL.  After fixing that the problem still has not gone away.
    So far the only solution that works (and that is temporary) is to remove the system from the domain and add it again.  We have a couple of trouble free users who meticulously disconnect their air card or wifi sessions prior to reconnecting to the corporate
    network.
    Has anyone else seen this issue?  better yet, has it been solved? :)
    TIA for any help you can provide!

    Hi   VinceDude,
    The main issue is that the network location of the client in the domain is identified wrongly,right?
    Would you please share us with the exact details of the error? Have you checked the Event Viewer both from the client and the server for related error information?
    This path may be helpful
    Event Viewer \Applications and Services logs\Microsoft \Windows \NetworkProfile
    Here is a KB showing  a similar symptom ,is this symptom corresponding with yours?（Win8.1  takes with the same registry path）：
    A computer cannot identify the network when the computer is running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2, and is a member of a child domain

  • Problems connecting to Wi-Fi network via 3G and 3Gs (due to modal view?)

    I am trying to connect to a protected network via Wi-Fi using two different devices - a 3G (running 3.0) and a 3Gs. This is a corporate network and is only allowed to visit certain websites that are closed off to the outside world. I don't know the exact type of network configuration, but I am unable to connect to sites such as Google, apple.com, etc.
    In both cases, when I choose the network in the settings app, I first see an activity indicator that clues me in to a connection being established. Then, after a moment a modal view slides up that is titled "Log In", and according to the text above the title it is going to http://www.apple.com As said above, if this is truly the case it would be a problem for me since I can't visit apple.com. So I see an error page served up by my network, and I am disconnected.
    Why is this even going to apple.com? Is the modal view some kind of new feature? Is there anyway to disable it? Note that I am not having this problem using an iPhone 3G or iPod Touch using 2.2.1

  • Can't connect to any wireless networks

    My macbook pro can't connect to any wireless networks outside of my home router. I've just taken it on holiday and I can't use it in any free wireless coffee shops or hotels.
    Whenever i select a network it shows it's connected with black bars in the radar icon but I cant access the internet or mail. Most frustrating is it's working fine in windows when I use boot camp.
    I hope someone can help

    Sometimes they can be stored in your Router and/or Modem, but having them in your Mac makes it so you don't have to rely on what's in or not in other's Routers.
    I don't understand DNS...
    Simply put.. you type in apple.com, your Browser goes out to a DNS Server somewhere with the request to link to the number of that name, then comes back with 17.254.3.183... if you ever wonder, you could type in that 17.254.3.183 IP, if it doesn't load Apple, then you are not connected to the Internet, yet if it does, and apple.com doesn't... then it's just that nothing is looking up the addy!

  • Outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks

    Although my outgoing mail goes out just fine on cellular networks, and on my home wifi, outgoing mail isn't sent when connected to some wifi networks.
    I use the apple outgoing mail server.
    What is unusual however is that my outgoing mail address is not from a standard domain.   I have my own.
    Could it involve an spr record?

    Do you have a wireless network at home and Is the email account provided by your internet service provider associated with your wireless network?
    Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated. The same applies when connected to the internet via the cellular network. Recieving is not a problem regardless the ISP being used for your internet connection at the time.
    If the email account is provided by your ISP, most ISPs do not have an authenticated SMTP sever for the email account they provide.
    Both my email accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a problem sending with either account regardless the ISP associated with a wi-fi network I'm connected to at the time or when connected to AT&T's cellular network - for 2+ years aporoaching 3 years this July.

  • Use VPN connection as a listen network interface in Web Application proxy

    I have a test environment: domain in hyper-v with Sharepoint and Office Web Apps servers (all under Windows 2012 - Windows 2012 R2).
    Because my home ISP does not permit some inbound ports (80,443) in a gate machine (under Windows 2012 R2) I create a vpn connection (by "setup a new connection or network") to my outside vpn server. On this vpn server the ports forwarding is configured
    and work fine (f.e. default IIS site is visible).
    I try to public my Sharepoint 2013 Foundation in Internet over this vpn connection and faced with the problem - WAPx (Web application proxy) does not bind to this vpn connection, only to traditional network interfaces.
    The question is how to make listening WAPx the VPN interface?

  • Tecra A10 - Refurbished - unable to get it connected to my home network

    I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop...before I take it back I am asking here just in case theres something I have missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.
    I am running a Belkin Wireless Router that has 2 main PC's directly connected (LAN), and another PC wirelessly connected.
    This is my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0
    All PC's working fine and connected.
    Now I'm trying to setup this laptop to connect.
    I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the XP Pro Product Recovery disc that came with the Tecra.
    My WiFi card is: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (Driver Date: 27/04/2008 - Driver Version: 12.0.0.73)
    It sees the network but no matter what i try just won't connect.
    What I have done so far (read before suggesting stuff I have already tried):
    Reconfigured routers WPS to Shared Key system.
    Made sure the wireless adapter has settings set to 20/40hz (auto)
    Restarted router, cable modem & laptop several times
    Wireless button on side of Laptop is ON.
    FN + F8 to enable WIFI (ON) BLUETOOTH (OFF)
    Added wireless network to Auto Connect settings along with SSID and passcode end encryption method.
    Clicked connect when network appears in network viewer dialogue and retyped passcode.
    Not working.
    I should add the Laptop has no problems connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.
    Anything else I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance.
    EDIT: Dual post removed.

    UPDATE:
    The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Business from recovery disc to see if this suffered from the same problem.
    The wireless connection worked fine on Vista and, despite the updates that I was being offered, worked without needing to update any drivers.
    This made me think...so the issue is probably XP DRIVER related.
    What I have done now is backup all the driver updates I was told to download by TEMPRO (BIOS & wireless manager updates included).
    I think part of the problem is that TEMPRO only works in Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates that may be required if you downgrade to XP straight after purchase (which is what I did).

  • Deskjet 3050 not connecting to my wifi network

    Accidentally pressed Restore Default and my printer will not connect to my wifi network. How do reinstall it please?

    Hi @Rotini 
    A full feature driver for Yosemite is not available for your printer, either from the CD that shipped with your printer or from the HP website. This document applies to HP printers supported in Mac OS X versions 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.9 (Mavericks), and 10.10 (Yosemite) that only have drivers available through Apple Software Update.
    With that being said, I can help you put the printer on your wireless network without software. I use this method for iPads, iPhones and other devices that do not have software.
    Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
    Connect to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-3050a and then part of the MAC address. The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
    Load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) in the browser on your mobile device. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
    Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
    Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the lefthand side to begin configuring the printer.
    You have now completed the Wireless configuration, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.
    The blue wireless light will go solid, put the Mac back on your own network.
    Add the printer to the System Preferences.

  • My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

    My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened. 
    So can someone please help and please dont be too technical

  • MacBook Pro cannot connect to a wireless network

    I am having the following problem with my MacBook Pro trying to connect to a wireless network using a 2WIRE Gateway wireless Router from Bell that worked perfectly until last night. My network preferences pane is saying "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.227.XX and will not be able to connect to the Internet." I'm not a techie and I've tried everything I know and cant get my MacBook to connect to the internet using the wireless network in my home. I'm using ethernet connected directly to my router for this! It's killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    OK. The wireless network was selected. In the Preferences / Network pane I removed Airport by selecting it and hitting the - button and then created a new Airport by hitting + and selecting Airport. I'm getting the same result. Full network signal once the ethernet cable is connected. Greyed out icon with ! once I remove the ethernet cable and no internet. I appreciate your help so far. Any other thoughts? We also have an iPad, iPhobe, iPod, and two iMacs on the same network. All of them are connected no problem. My Macbook also still connects to the network in my workplace no problem. This all just started happenening yesterday and I don't believe I changed or upgraded anything. I just came home and it had stopped working.

  • I'm connected to my airport network but can't get online

    2 days ago, i was online and everything was working fine.
    Yesterday, i tried going online and i was told that i was not connected to the internet even though i had full signal bars from my airport. I've restarted my computer a dozen times, checked all my internet connection settings, but nothing worked, i'm still being told that i'm not connected to the internet although internet connect says i am. contrarily, network diagnostics says i am not connected.
    this happened to me once before over the summer. i gave up and didn't use my computer for about a week. when i tried using it again, the internet was just fine. however, i do not have the luxury of waiting a week because my school curriculum requires the use of the internet.
    what's wrong with my computer and how is it that i connected just fine 2 days ago, but cannot since then? please help!

    if relevant, my software versions are as follows:
    Safari 3.1.1
    Internet Connect 1.4.3
    Network Diagnostics 1.0.2

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.
