Connecting to the office WLAN

I have open WLAN on our office.
The WLAN is open and (there is No WEP, WPA, etc.)
when I am using my laptop I need to enter username & password on the first explorer page that I open.
This system is very similiar to any hotel's pay WLAN.
I can't connect the N95 to this network.
Does anyone has any suggestions?

Hi all.
I have since bought an apple Airport Express. I bought this one as it seemed to have the best reviews and simplest setup, which suits a networking novice like me. I connected it up, via ethernet to my home network, which comprises 3 PC's on a wired network all sharing access to the internet via a cable modem and a printer. I am using an old netgear firewall/router. I let the Airport Utility software setup the AE as a new wireless network and it seemed to pick up the IP address, the domain server name and everything else it needed. I then went in and manually set the AE up as a bridge as it seemed to be picking up its IP from my netgear router rather than from my internet service provider.
My N95 connected to the AE first attempt without any problems and I am able to surf the net and check my pop3 email account. The only problem is that my main computer doesn't have a wireless adapter, so after initial setup, it can't see the AE. I got around this by using a laptop which has a wireless adapter - I can now tweak the settings as necessary.
So first impressions are positive. I now have to take the AE with me on the road to see if it is possible to connect to a wired network in a hotel. First opportunity to do this will be late Jan. Will report back then for those interested.
Regards,
Allan

Connecting to the school WLAN

Hello all, I have some problems connecting to the school network.
When I am using my notebook, I have to go through these procedures before using the internet:
1) After I connect to my WLAN, I go to Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings
2) And then I have to tick: "Use a proxy server......connections)", type 192.168.0.5 for the proxy and 8080 for the ports.
3) Then I have to tick the Bypass.....
4) After I clicked OK and stuff, I load the webpage again, and it would ask me for the school account and password.
However, after I entered the proxy and port in my 5530 (Settings -> Connectivity -> Destinations -> Internet -> WLAN Name -> Edit -> Options -> Advanced settings), the phone did not ask me for the user and pass, so I was not able to connect to the internet and when I try to connect to internet, the following message shows up: "Web: Secure connection not available"
Can anyone help me please?

In that case, open the browser of your phone. When it finds the hotspot you accept it as the accesspoint and a webpage will open where you can fill in your password en username.
‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

Need to Remote Connect to Mac at the Office... HELP!

Alright, I've seen topics similar to this one on the Leopard thread but I really, REALLY, need someone to help me. I know about Apple Remote Desktop but I don't have $300. I have downloaded Vine Viewer/ Vine Server VNC and Chicken of the VNC. When I'm at the office and connected to the office network I have no problems being connected and controlling my other Mac. The default port for forwarding is 5900 but is being used by another coworker, so I tried to configure port 6900. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so if someone could help me step by step that would be awesome. Thanks.

Please check out this thread. You don't need Vine server on the work machine. Set up the office computer like how I told Bruce to set up his Quicksilver. Your home computer is like his iBook. You won't need to deal with forwarding ssh port 22 on your home router, your work IT guy will have to ensure that that port will allow inbound traffic to pass to your work computer. Also, this will give you remote keyboard/screen, but you won't be able to drag&drop files across locations. To get that, tunnel afp as I discussed in a later post in that thread. Then you'll have both encrypted drag & drop and encrypted remote keyboard/screen.

Hej Remc0
thanks for the answer...but even after following all these steps, I still have test connection failed...
The office server name, is this the name you also have when you want to connect to your presentation service?
As it's all straight forwards, I don't have a clue to this...
Txs for your feedback.

MBP won't print on RICOH Aficio 2022 connected on the network

I have a MBP 2.66 GHz with Mac OSx 10.6.5 installed. I can't get it to print on a RICOH 2022. the RICOH is connected to the office network and I used to just log on to the office wireless network and print from my PC earlier, however the MBP won't. The printer has a static IP. I downloaded the specific drivers from the support site already and the MBP autoselects the printer and assigns the requisite PS driver, however the printing doesnt happen. I'd appreciate a few pointers..

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
There are a few things to check.
1. The protocol used to connect to the printer. If you selected IPP then this can stop you from printing. If you were to check the Properties > Ports > Configure Ports settings on the Windows connection to the Ricoh you may see if using Port 9100. On Mac OS X this is known as HP Jetdirect-Socket. So I suggest you open Print & Fax, select the Ricoh and open Options & Supplies. Under the General tab will be the printer queue. If it shows "ipp://IPaddress_ofRicoh" then you have used IPP to create the queue. Delete this queue and add it again, this time select Jetdirect for the IP protocol.
2. The PS driver. If the Ricoh only supports PCL and not Postscript then this can stop you from printing, although sometimes you usually get lots of garbled pages when you use a PS driver to a PCL only device. Anyway, check that the printer does have Postscript (PS) support. This can often be found by opening the internal web page of the copier (simply type its IP address into your web browser). Somewhere within the pages available will be what printer languages are supported.
Or you could just check what driver the Windows are using.
3. If the Ricoh does support PS then it may be using some form of accounting system. This can stop unwanted printing and copying unless a valid ID/password is entered. If you need to do this when copying then you probably need to also do this when printing. Again, checking the setup of the Windows driver should give some clues. If the accounting function is being used then there should be a menu within the driver to allow you to enter the appropriate ID/pwd.

All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

Hallo,
Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
Nun zu dem Problem:
Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
Hello,
I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
The particular "configuration" is as follows:
- Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
- Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
Now to the problem:
Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

Hi, and thank you for your reply!
My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

Macbook Pro remote desktop unable to connect to my office PC. Genius Bar told me the only solution was to wipe my Mac. Really??

I work remotely using my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.5.8) to connect to my office PC. I have always had issues using my "computer name" with the RDC but have no problem when using the IP address. Two weeks ago my company upgraded their server and ever since I have been unable to access the server. My coworkers (who use Macs) are not having the same problems as me. My IT guy was able to connect using my Mac, his security clearance and IP address. However, I no longer have the option of using the IP address to log in - per my IT guy. My IT guy is a PC guy so he suggested that I take my computer to Apple to see whats blocking me.
I met with Apple support at the Genius bar yesterday and was told basically it could be a problem with my computer and I needed to wipe it clean and start over. This was the proposed solution to the problem but the Mac guy I spoke with didn't seem completely sure this would solve / is the cause of the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions for figuring out what the root problem is prior to me wiping my Mac? Has anyone had issues working with remote desktop connection from their Mac connecting to a PC?
I appreciate any help possible!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are no songs on your iPod, right (since it was restored)?
Make sure the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Update iPod's Software
Also, try connecting the iPod via a different USB port.
You may want to try putting the iPod in Disk Mode prior to connecting it and see if you are able to restore it (while it is in Disk Mode)...
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
Finally, if you can't get the iPod to restore, then try connecting it and opening My Computer. Does the iPod show up in My Computer? Try right clicking it and going to Format. Does anything happen?

Mac computers in the office are not able to connect to our exchange server.

We started facing this problem about a month ago in our office where the apple computers can not connect to the exchange server via outlook or applemail or anything for that matter. All the other computers can connect to the exchange server with no problems
and the apple computers can even access the exchange server via OWA but the outlook and applemail apps would not connect to exchange. We have tried even deleting and re-creating some accounts on the apps but they still would not connect. At this point I am
at a complete loss and I looked everywhere through google to find out if anyone else has faced this problem but to no avail.
A little background information. This specific problem started happening after there was an un-expected series of power outages to the servers and they were shut down un-expectedly. I personally restored the servers and turned on all the services and made
sure everything was up and running after the power outages and everything was working fine. Also the first instance of the problem with the mac computers only happened two days after the servers were back up and running again and they had no issues in those
two days.
Right now we do not have that many mac users in our offices (only 3-4 users) and I have instructed them to use the OWA in the meanwhile but it is however an inconvenience to them. By now you may have realized that I am not a very experienced server admin
and I would really really appreciate any help. I extend my thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reply.
Right now I have Apple mail and Outlook installed on my mac laptop and both the applications do not connect to the exchange server. Apple Mail simply does a long process when I give my credentials to create my account and then it gives an error saying it
could not find the server while outlook quickly tells me that either the username or password is incorrect. At the same time I can connect to the server through outlook on my windows computer without any problems whatsoever.
From your reply, I gather that the VIA headers only affect Apple mail and should not affect Outlook app on the mac but right now, neither apps are connecting to the exchange server.
Either way I am trying to find out how to remove the VIA headers because it does not seem that we are using Kemp on the exchange server. Right now I do not have the in depth knowledge that I need because I was not involved in the implementation of our server
system, that was taken care of by a service provider and I was put in charge of mostly simple admin work. Now we are out of contract with the service provider so pretty much everything has fallen onto my shoulders.
If possible, would you mind pointing me in the right direction to finding out if I am using a L7 load balancer and how I would go about removing the VIA headers?

How to Connect My Intranet Site to the Office's Server

Hi,
My boss recently wanted me to create an "intranet" site for the office. it bascially is supposed to be a one webpage with llinks to different folders on the server for greater ease for the sales reps. What are the steps to link the buttons on my page to these folders on the server?
i can link buttons to folders on my desktop, but not the folders on my desktop that are connected to the server.
Thanks,
Matt

I used the path you suggested and was directed to a screen saying I was not authorized to view the page. So I'm assuming it's a matter of my web admin granting the intranet i created access to these links?
Thanks,
Matt

Office 2013 (C2R) Connect to the server to view them

I have an Outlook 2013 Click-to-Run installation (version 15.0.4641.1003) that will not download all emails from the server. At the bottom of folders it says, "There are more items in this folder on the server. Connect to the server to view them."
This option is grayed out, though. It is currently running in Cached mode and set to download 12 months of mail. It says Connected to Microsoft Exchange at the bottom. The connection status (taskbar --> right-click Outlook icon --> Connection Status)
shows connected. At the bottom of folders it says, "There are more items in this folder on the server. Connect to the server to view them." This option is grayed out, though. This particular account has had a new Outlook profile built twice in the
last couple of months when it would not connect to O365. This location also has a fairly slow connection. Could the slow connection be causing issues even though it says connected? Looking for any ideas.

Hi,
This message generally means you do not have connectivity with your Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2733062/en-us
This might has something to do with the slow connection to Exchange Online. Please first check for updates and install any required ones, then try again. It’s always a good idea to keep current with updates.
Also, do you have a proxy server configured? If your Outlook is going via a proxy server to Office 365, you might want to take a look at this article:

We use an Airport Extreme in my office, which works fine for me. Occasionally we need to have more than one computer running on it, but for some reason it won't connect to the internet. It says we have internet, but won't connect to wifi. What's going on?

I use my computer everyday in our office and have no issue connecting to the internet/wifi, but when my boss comes in and tries to connect it doesn't work. It tells her she has internet, but won't connect to the wifi. We've tried a few different tactics(the basic ones I've seen on here), but nothing seems to be working for us. My computer automatically connects to our wifi.
Just recently the Airport Extreme has started with the blinking amber colored light on the front, which I believe means something is wrong? Can anyone help us figure out what's going on and why we can't get my boss' computer to connect as it should?
Thank you!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

New (last night) 4s. at home everything works but at the office, I can't seem to send or receive emails. Don't know about texts yet. I manually connected to my company's wi-fi network, have internet access and a good signal. The phone function works

Just set up my 4s last night - works fine at home but can't get or send email at the office. Wi-fi connection working and signal is good and telephone and Internet functions working. Manually set to my company's wi-fi.

Your company has most likely blocked the ports necessary to connect to mail servers outside the corporate network. Shut off WiFi and see if it works. If it does, you'll need to talk to your IT department about it.
Odds are they are not going to change the policy without a valid business reason to do so.

Office 365 ECT to Azure Cannot connect to the LobSystem (External System)

I've tried to set up External Content Types to an Azure SQL database but when I access my page I get an error.

Hi,
It depends, if it's a static IP address for your machine, it should be OK for this one IP address; if it is a dynamic IP address in a range, you can input the IP address range which contains this mentioned IP address
157.55.225.241, or update the changed address to date.

Connect to the database of auto Hosted App on Office 365

Hi All,
I developed a custom Application for SharePoint on top Office 365 in Auto-hosted mode. The application has SQL database which will be deployed to SQL Azure.
I would like to read some info from the database but using another tools not from inside the developed application (e.g. SharePoint designer, PowerPivot) to generate some reports.
When I try to connect to the database after the application installation using SharePoint Designer I get the following error message:
Cannot open server 'xxxxxxxxxxx' requested by the login. Client with IP address '41.239.166.230' is not allowed to access the server. To enable access, use the Windows Azure Management Portal or run sp_set_firewall_rule on the master database to create

And since I am using the Autohosted mode, I don;t have he Windows Azure Management Portal. is there a workaround for this issue?

Thanks in advance for you help. Mahmoud

Hi m_3ryan,
The error message shows you need to add your IP Address to the firewall rules of the SQL Azure to get yourself connected. As you deploy the database to SQL Azure, you mean you cannot open window azure management portal?
Follow the steps in below article, check whether it works:
