Connecting to two wi-fi networks with the same name

Hello,
I have to work daily on two different universities, using my Powerbook 12" (MacOS 10.5.8). The wi-fi networks in both places are both called the same — "eduroam", the European network service for education. Everytime I try to connect, the system will use the last provided login and password (which are obviously different in the two cases) and fail. Is there an easy way to prevent this from happening, saving the different settings for both places?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, K T.
Yes, I'm using automatic logins. How do I do can I create the logons? In the Network Preferences, renaming the location?

How to rename your device in iTunes

Why are my devices finding two networks with the same name in my house?

I have Verizon FIOS (Actiontech router) connected with an ethernet cable to my Airport Express. Everything works beautifully through all three levels of my house...except... there are seemingly two networks in the house...a 192.X network (I think that is the Actiontech router), and a 10.X network (I think that must be the airport express)...
Here is the problem...
My devices (MACS, i-PADS, wireless printers) sometimes connect to the 192.X network (usually on channel 11) and sometimes they connect to the 10.X network (usually on channel 1). If the computers & i-PADS are not on the same network as the printers, then I can't print because the computer can't find the printer.
With the printers, every time the power goes out it's a crapshoot to see which network they reconnect to...and I have not found a way to manually choose a network since both networks have the same name and password (and I think they have to be set up that way in order for the Airport Express to work properly with the Verizon router.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

OK, thanks. Did you see the message I posted right after your previous reply? I'm copying it here. Would choosing option two below, "join a wireless network" vs. "create a wireless network" be similar (or the same) as running in bridge mode? Thanks.
Tried a different MAC in my house using Lion instead of Mavericks and was able to open a version of Airport Utility. I couldn't find the tabs as in your picture; however, I did find a box that says, "This airport express is set up to create a wireless network." Three options are then listed as follows:
1- create a wireless network (the one that is checked)
2- join a wireless network
3- disable wireless and connect to a computer or network using Ethernet
If I choose option two above, would that solve the problem?
Thanks.

Connect to one wireless network when multiple networks with the same name

Hi all,
I'm at a location where there are two networks with the name (e.g.) "wireless". One uses WEP and one uses WPA. The WEP network is weaker than the WPA network, so my Mac tries to connect to the WPA network, even though I have manually setup the wireless network with WEP security (after trying to connect it asks for a WPA password). Is there a way that I can connect to a wireless network by MAC Address, or some way for me to tell the Macbook to ignore the WPA network? The problem is that the SSID is the same, it seems.
Thanks,
Nate

The person (the landlord) isn't tech-savvy at all.
That is clearly obvious as
1. They would not be using WEP
2. They would setup a different SSID
WEP is not secure and can be cracked in minutes using tools readily available on the internet. If a hacker gain access to that network they could run other tools and hijack the dns and then you could be visiting sites on your mac that are completely bogus but look real.
Also it is common trick that hackers use is to setup an access point nearby with the sane SSID to capture details from users that join their network thinking they have joined their own network. Again the hacker can hijack the dns and monitor all your browsing and capture details.
The fact that someone has setup an SSID nearby with the same name would make me very suspicious.
I would treat your landlord's network as an untrusted network same as when your using a public wifi like coffebucks.

Oracle Forms - two forms have element with the same name. How to address?

Hi all
We test application in Oracle Forms 10G, often there are several forms opened simultaneously.
And now question – what to do if two or more forms have element with the same Block Name and Name?
For example:
//forms:button[(@name=’TOOLBAR_EXIT_FORM_0’)]
How to address these elements?

to aamat:
"The names are not the same"
OpenScript gives them the same name, it consists of block name + element name + index. it doesn't take form name into consideration, so it gets
//forms:button[(@name=’TOOLBAR_EXIT_FORM_0’)]

2 macs on the same network with the same name?

I have 2 macs running the latest version of Tiger on the same computer-to-computer network. Are there any potential issues if both computers are named the same when connecting them on this network? I didn't think about this before naming them and I just want to check now before I spend lots of time installing software and customizing them. Should I change the name of one of them?
Thanks!!!

Are there any potential issues if both computers are named the same when connecting them on this network?
Yes. First there is the human confusion factor. You won't know which machine you are really connecting to across the network. Sometimes Mac OS X and other software will get confused as to which machine you are referring to when you use the name by itself.
You should give them individual names even if it is something as simple as adding a digit (i.e. Mac1 and Mac2).
I just want to check now before I spend lots of time installing software and customizing them.
Changing the computer name should have zero effect on that.

Apperture allows you to import two photos with the same name

I have two different Sony Cameras and Apperture has allowed me to import photos from both without a problem however after changing to 1.5 it will not allow me to back them up to an external drive because the drive thinks that the other one is open and that it is duplicated. For example the file name DSC2134 has been saved at different times with different cameras but if I try to back up to my exyternal drive it just hangs up my entire computer. I thought the backup was slow but after 24 hours it still had not moved and would not even allow me to force quit. I had to turn my mac off. If I move each photo one by one it will say that my second photo is a duplicate - even if I have renamed the second version. How do I batch rename? How do I rebuild my library?
I moved to Apperture to get out of all the problems with iphoto now I seem to be back at the begining.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Tiger

Rhian,
Aperture stores everything in its index table with a master filename as a key. This key may be the incoming filename or a user designated name.
Images are imported into a Project, and OSX naming conventions demand that within a folder, names are unique. However, OS X allows multiple occurences of the same name in different folders. And so does Aperture.
When you exported, it sounds like you exported the dups to the same folder? It sounds like Aperture should have identified this error condition and presented a dialog box to ignore/replace .... obviously it didn't and I suggest that is a program defect.
To remove dups., sort on filename or date/time stamp and delete the offending image.
BTW, with multiple cameras available to us, it is quite reasonable to expect two distinctly unique images with the same name. Duplicating the name is not necessarily duplicating the image. So I am for Aperture allowing dups. - providing it also allows me to rename, which it does. At the image level, true dups. should show up at the date/time stamp level. That's why sorting on date/time is a useful tool.

I cannot connect my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When trying to connect it says I have the wrong password, but I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have tried to restart my router, reset my network settings, fail!

Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
Thanks!

If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

Network volumes with the same name

Hi everybody.
I recently got a Mac at the office. Yay! But I have an issue with network volumes. There are several machines I need to connect to using smb/cifs. Two of our development servers (Linux servers using smb/cifs) are configured to share each user's home directory. Naturally, my user name on both machines is the same, and therefore so is the name of the smb share. Unfortunately, MacOS X uses the share name as the volume name when it connects. This means I have two volumes with the same name, so I can't make any aliases or have any quick access to them. That's because aliases resolve to the first of them which was mounted, regardless of which of them they were made to originally.
Other people in the office use Windows to access the shares, which poses no problem because in Windows you either give the full path of the share (including host name, which makes the paths distinct), or map a distinct drive to the share. I also mount them from my Linux, but on Linux you explicitly give the mount point, and thus make it distinct.
Any way to make the volumes distinct on the Mac? Otherwise to make aliases resolve correctly in such a setup?

there are several ways you can deal with this. first, you can use command line mount_smbfs command. it does let you specify a mount point. you can easily automate the process of creating a mount point and mounting the share using automator so you don't have to do it by hand every time. and you can also add the automator workflow to mount the shares to your login items. then it will happen automatically on every login. lastly, you can use autofs or add entries to /etc/fstab to automount the smb shares on startup. both methods let you specify mount points too. see this link for details

How to create reports servers with the same name in two nodes in Reports

Greetings
We are migrating Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) to a better hardware infrastructure with high availability. We want to provide 2 new Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) in High availability and we want to avoid modify the existing forms and reports code, but the code is looking for a specific reports server name when calling reports, but I couldn't create the same reports server name in the both oas machines, I could create the reports server in only one node. I want to create a reports server with the same name in both nodes but it is not possible. I know that there is a procedure to do that in 10.1,2 (Note 437228.1, How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet) but I couldn't find the equivalent procedure in 9.0.4.
Anybody kwows how to create a reports server with the same name in two nodes using 10g (9.0.4)
Thanks
Ramiro Ortiz.

Hello.
I applied the patch 4092150 on my oas 9.0.4.2 and I modified my rwnetwork.conf file changing the port to 14022 by following the note "How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet? [ID 437228.1]" but I am facing the same error rep-56040 "server already exists in the network".
When I run osfind command I get the following information (My reports server is senarep and I want to create it on SNMMBOGOAS10):

Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library? Thanks

Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library?
Thanks

Yes you can use two (or more) AppleTVs with one iTunes library. They can both stream from iTunes (or the internet) at the same time, as long as you have a good working LAN and internet connection.

Two Domain Controllers with the Same Name

So I was working on setting up our new branch office DC. Anyway, the server failed to join the domain the first time because it upgraded the AD schema (This was our first 2012 R2 server) and the schema wasn't synced to all the other remote offices. So I
forced a sync, joined the server as a workstation, then made it a domain controller.
Anyway, after that the server would show itself as a DC in Active Directory, but all the other servers believed it was just a workstation. So, I removed Active Directory from the server (I had to force the removal). I reset the computer account on the local
DCs, then rejoined it to the domain and made it a domain controller again. This time, it appeared as a Domain Controller on the other DCs in the domain.
Now for the issue --- I've now got two objects for the server under AD Sites and Services. One of them doesn't appear to have any AD DS connections. The other has connections, but not all of them work correctly (I get errors when I tell certain connections
to sync).
What should I do to fix this?
I'm still in the setup phase of this, so I can do anything I want with this particular server. I was thinking I would demote from a Domain Controller, remove it from the domain. Then use ntdsutil to cleanup any other metadata that is hanging around in AD (Something
like: https://support.microsoft.com/KB/216498?wa=wsignin1.0 )
Does anyone else have suggestions on what I should do to fix this? --- I'm being overly cautious here as I do not want to mess anything up in Active Directory.
Thanks!

I have not done a metadata cleanup.... I was asking if I should.
The connections on the valid server appeared to be working before I deleted them (Maybe it took a while to replicate ? )
So I went through and deleted all the AD Sites and Services connections from both servers (The broken server had 5 connections to the same DC in another site). Anyway, I ran repadmin /kcc and it regenerated a connection to a server in the remote site, but
it also generated a connection between the two servers with the same name. I ran dcdiag after I did the repadmin /kcc. Anyway it shows:

Two AM's with the same name but different forms causes Deployment problems

Two Masters forms, DOC & PM are cloned except for the "where clause" in the View's query and the titles in their JSP's.
DOC workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='DOCTOR'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\Doctor\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\Doctor\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute Doctor in JWS the records are getting filtered properly.
PM workspace has a BC project and a BC4JSP Project. Again The BC project comprises of the EO and VO named ComVsStaticValue. In the Edit prop-> query for the VO I have specified the "where clause" as VSSV_VS_CODE='PAY_MODE'.
In Java Webserver :-
The JSP's are located in C:\source\PMode\ .. and the *.xml and *.class files generated by the BC proj is in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\..
If I execute PM in JWS, the PM's JSP comes (the title is correct) but the records pertaining to DOC appears. I checked the View's xml file in C:\source\PMode\pol_ValueSet\ the "where clause" is correct. The xml & classes have the same name but their contents are different.
I want to know whether this problem is because both have the same name for the AM and the BC4JSP's property file.
Please clarify.

Deploying two app modules with the same name will definitely cause problems.
The JSPs use the information in the properties file to connect to the application module and get the data they need from the appropriate View Objects in those app modules. If you have two app modules with the same name, when a JSP tries to connect, it has no way of knowing which one of the app modules to connect to if they both have the same name.
You could:
1. Just use one application module that contains all the View Objects you need to access.
or
2. Rename one of the application modules or the package it is located in so the names are distinct. If you choose this method, you will also need to update the JSPs (specifically the 'registerApplicationFrompPopertyFile' method call), and your JSP project's appmodule property file.

I notice that in the new update to Firefox if I have two bookmark folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of them.

Both of these problems with the bookmarks started occurring after I installed the latest update to Firefox.
I frequently have bookmark folders of the same name under the older version of Firefox and it has never been a problem before. It is now, and I notice that after I've created two folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of the folders, almost always the older of the two folders (the one created first, chronologically).
I have also noticed that with the new update Firefox will occasionally fail to open all bookmarks in Tabs if I've asked it to do so. I can simply close Firefox and reopen the program and it will work again, but I don't know why this bug is occuring in the first place.

You are using two IP address ranges.. which results in the printer being cut off from the other network..
Why do you have two networks?? It is always better in home situations to run one network.
If you have work setup with an enterprise level router you can setup routes between the two networks.. this is not possible on domestic level apple routers.

Is it possible to have two files with the same name on my Zen To

Hia,
Is it possible to have two mp3 files with the same name?; I.e if I'm ripping a Bach CD, there are several tracks that have the name preludium, and I hate to do the rename.
Also, will I be able to sync my Zen so that It will only recieve new files that have been added since I last connected my Zen to my computer?
regards,
Fredrik

I believe same filename is OK because the Zen Player does not really care about filename. As far as I know, the Zen database of the tracks in the player is based on the track information such as Title, Artist, Album and Genre. This means you cannot have two tracks of the same Title, Artist, Album and Genre in the Zen Player.
