Disable auto switching WAN/LAN/WI-FI

Hi,
I want 2 lan card on same laptop therfore I purchased USB lan card when i connect lan cable to Gigabit ethernet the USB lan automatically get disconnected i also tried with diffrent profile but no success Please let me know the steps how to disable the the auto switching WAN/LAN/WI-FI so i can access both USB Lan and Gigabit Lan.

If you enter device manager, right click, and select Scan for hardware changes, is the wireless adapter detected?
You may want to start by installing the latest drivers available from HP for your device. Some notebooks will have a separate driver set for buttons and switches that may re-enable this functionality, or an updated driver for the wireless adapter may include
updates that allow the adapter to be seen following the automatic switch.

How can I disable auto-switching desktops?

I've long appreciated the spaces/mission control feature of OS X. However, it seems more oriented to organizing desktops by application rather than by project.
Like many users, I suspect, I use different desktops for different projects, each of which requires a variety of applications (finder, word docs, spreadsheets, etc). When I'm working on project 1 in desktop 1, I never want to be whisked away to desktop 2. In fact, I never want to be switched to a different desktop automatically. If I click on an application, I want it to open a new window for that application. If a new iteration of an app can't be opened (ie, Mail), I'd like it to pull Mail to me rather than send me off to it. Aren't apps supposed to come when we call, not the other way around?
I have unchecked "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences, but my desktop continues to auto-switch, especially with Finder.
In short: is there a way disable auto-switching entirely? I'd like to be able to assign windows and navigate manually without being constantly pulled away from the project I'm working on.
Thanks for the help; I really appreciate people spending their time helping others on forums like this one.

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Auto switch from LAN to WIFI

I am looking for some software or a way to auto switch from LAN to WiFI if there no internet connection.
This history of this is we have a XP machine that runs a process and its just left on for this and nothing else, with no keyb or mouse connected and we just remote to it if needed. Our internet connection has issues and quite often drops out, but local
LAN obviously stays up, we have a WiFi connection to another site opposite that is ok, question is does anyone know any software that will for example ping a external host every so often and if there is no response will auto switch from LAN to WiFi connection
automatic.
Thanks.

Disabling auto switch off Internet Sharing Lumia 7...

Is there anyway to disable the auto switch off of the auto switch off feature of the Internet Sharing on the Lumia 710?
The reason I ask, is that I want to set this up as my main Internet connection at home using the Three UK One Plan Unlimited Data plan with the phone linked via Internet Shaing to a range extender which all my family can then connect to but the Internet Sharing keeps switching off after a few minutes of inactivity.
This is obviously really annoying as I then have to go upstairs and turn on Internet Sharing again.
Solved!

There are two things you can try:
1) Keep the AC cable plugged in. It will not shut down WiFi when connected to AC, as the shutting down is a powermanagement feature as I understood.
2) Keep the screen on (unverified, just a thing you can try to keep the lock timeout to 'forever'. I believe this is related to the powermanagement as well.)

Disable Internet Connection on LAN computers on Linksys E2500

Hi,
I am new here, and going to setting up my router in my small office.
I have a Linksys E2500, and going to disable internet connection on computers that connected via LAN cable.
So, this is how I am going to set my office.
                                                                      Internet

                                                                      modem
                                                                             |
                                                               Linksys E2500

                   Hub A                                                                                            Hub B

Hub A and Hub B are in different floor.
Do these Hub A and Hub B still give the same range of IP Address from linksys (192.168.1.x) to the PCs below them, like PC 1 got 192.168.1.2, PC 2 got 192.168.1.3 and go on? Can I reserve an static IP Address to each PCs, and disable internet only on PCs below Hub B (PC 3 and PC 4)? I cannot find any controls for disabling internet connection on LAN interface from the E2500 Setup Interface. There are only Wireless MAC Filtering and no LAN MAC Filtering.
If this thing sounds stupid, I am sorry but I have no experience in setting network here. I hope someone can help me out.
Thanks a lot.

I agree with FurryNutz. You will need an IP-enabled device for the router block it via Parental Controls. If you have wireless bridge or a manageable switch, you can block that and all the devices connected to it should also be blocked from internet access.
I think you can set Static DNS on the computers under Hub B to 0.0.0.0 which will not allow them to access the internet but are still within the router's local network.

[SOLVED] Alsa: How to disable auto-mute when plugging in headphones?

I have a set of headphones plugged into my workstation permanently (the headphone jack is hard to reach so I don't want to plug those headphones in and out) as well as some speakers. Jack sensing works perfectly - when I unplug the headphones, the speakers are unmuted and when I plug the headphones back in the speakers are muted. Now as I said, my headphones are plugged in permanently and occasionally I want to have sound on the speakers at the same time. So far I have not found a way to have both headphones and speakers unmuted simultaneously.
I originally thought this was a problem with Pulseaudio (I am using Cinnamon as my desktop) but when I directly go to the Alsa hw device I get exactly the same behavior. The sound chip is a built-in VIA VT1818S and aplay displays the correct cards and devices:
$ aplay -l

I verified with "mpg123 -a hw:0,0" that I get no sound on the speakers when the headphones are plugged in and vice versa. I tried a lot of different settings with alsamixer and amixer to no avail. These are my current settings:

If I read the Alsa kernel docs right, the VIA driver simply does not provide any option to disable auto-muting: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-ker … xt;hb=HEAD.
I would be glad if I had misread/misunderstood something or there were any other means of achieving what I am after? All I found so far is lots of posts where auto-muting did not work but very few people seem to want the opposite. FWIW, my old installation of Ubuntu 11.10 was working fine in that regard, i.e. it probably did not support auto-muting for my hardware.

Solved, well, good enough for me anyway. In alsamixer, I enabled "Independent HP". Independent HP means that two of the six surround channels get diverted to the headphones. Alsa creates a second device, one for line out and the other one for the headphones. It is a very neat feature that is meant to allow you to e.g. do a voice call with your headphones while you play music through the speakers at the same time. I can now choose in PulseAudio whether I want output to my headphones or the speakers. It required that in /etc/pulse/default.pa, I added the line "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2" after this paragraph:
### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available
.ifexists module-udev-detect.so
load-module module-udev-detect
.else
### Use the static hardware detection module (for systems that lack udev support)
load-module module-detect
.endif
# Take Independent HP into use.
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,2
All this really is a work-around for two bugs:
Call it a bug or a missing feature, but it does not look like the Alsa snd_hda_codec_via driver allows to disable auto-muting.
Before the change to default.pa, PulseAudio already allows me to switch between two output devices - "analog output" and "analog headphones". "Analog headphones" however does the same thing as "analog output" and plays sound on the external speakers and not the headphones. I suspect that the PulseAudio module-udev-detect detects both Alsa devices but wires them wrongly.
The above still doesn't give me what I originally asked, i.e. sound on both speakers and headphones at the same time, but I realized that I don't really need that. I just need a way to switch on speakers occasionally while my headphones are plugged in.

Torch 9810 Need basics about Wifi auto-switching and tethering, please.

Concerning my AT&T Data plan:
1- when i'm using the device by itself, all indicators show that auto-switching is working when wifi is available. ok, bb gurus, i can't afford any surprises on my bill, so...is it really working all by itself, or am i gonna have to play the "disable this, enable that" game to make sure?
2- when i'm tethered, i see my device is being used as a standard dial-up modem, so clearly there's no wifi to be had. but...during tethering, is there any hardware config that allows my device to become a wifi adapter instead of a modem?
3- i think i don't have hotspot capabilities, is that correct?
btw-i absolutely love how easy it is to check service/connection status.
EDIT: i just noticed that when i have wifi, the ssid shows up next to the "AT&T" on the main screen, i walked back & forth across the street and watched it change...holy-moly i'm digging this phone!

1- you said "If so, leave it on but be aware that if your phone falls back to the network connection, you won't get any kind of warning from your homescreen."
here's what i learned since i last posted:
as i understand it, BB internet services is something separate from my metered AT&T data (i think bb services is how/why i'm getting my POP mail, "reconciliation" rocks the house). the service has a useful status display showing how it's connected...this auto-switches between network & wifi before my eyes as i walk in & out of range. here's the kicker...in the homescreen 'header' where my active carrier is displayed, a connected ssid is displayed along with it, ie "AT&T - Public Hotspot" which also changes on the fly. huh...yeah...and tapping said header opens up the connection manager, this is one smooth ui.
none of that says my data-stream is also being auto-switched, but it would be a fair bet to assume if the services has a signal, the data connection would too. i'd like to dig into this a little deeper, i've seen several versions of the right answer in my research.
2- you saying i get the updated OS?
3- see question 2
the rest of this you can totally ignore if you want, i've had one too many java's tonite, heh.
i'm an old-school hardware freak...i was changing jumpers on 486 motherboards & frying them back in the day. until recently i didn't need more than a phone (that old bullet proof nokia flip) but then i went to traveling on my motorized bicycle and upgraded to messaging & data. got a pantech link, it never failed me, i really like it a lot.
there's been times i've been out of cell range but sitting at a hotspot, wishing there was a messaging phone with wifi....like 35 miles north of haines alaska. i keep a little personal site if you're interested & if it's not against the rules:
http://mb-rambler.mysite.com/
so i decided to get into a smartphone, did a lot of shopping, a total newb...i started by choosing the pantech crossover, and honestly for my minimal needs it looks like a real beaut. we setup the deal and the crossover was shipped but then misrouted. i was told 2 weeks for that to be resolved, and i got mad but remained calm. bottom line is the AT&T rep went to bat for me on customer service, and eventually arranged for me to go to the nearest store and get whatever i wanted. no crossover in stock. well, in real life, there was no denying the blackberry's. it was the torch 2 or the bold, i like a real keyboard. but i'm a total bb newb too, so i closed my eyes and pointed at what i could afford.
i'm a lucky bubba i know...because since then i've learned a lot about this version and its history, and the hardware inside is blowing my mind. sorry for rambling, it's just i'm getting into this.
thanks for stepping in to help out. i'm sure i'll have more questions and comments as i move along.

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

Do the latest iMacs (new slim version) still support auto-switching from 220V to 110V?

do the latest iMacs (new slim version) still support auto-switching from 220V to 110V?

I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard. I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

Disable auto-updates/Adobe Application Manager

there is no forum for this - I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS6 non-CC on macbook pro running 10.8.5 or 10.9.2. I would like to not have AAM search for updates in the background, but initiate the **search** for updates manually. The reason is that I live a bit off the grid and pay quite a lot per minute, and AAM kept the internet connection open the whole night, even though the browser said it was closed.
I only found instructions for CS5:

does this work for CS6 the same way? I am by no means a system admin but I can replace this AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat file. (and keep the original else where)
thanks.
edit: why on earth does adobe insist on displaying my real name in a public forum, when it even asks me to make a screen name first. There is no forum for this either, I guess.

that is gone, thanks.

Disabling auto-update doesn't work

I need to stop at Firefox 14 for now, and need to prevent auto-updates.
In Firefox 14.0.1 when I disable auto-update by setting 'never check for updates', and/or use about:config to clear 'app.update.url', both settings are ignored. When I close and re-open Firefox, auto-update is again enabled, and the update URL is again set.
Recommendations?

As it turns out, it's not a matter of 'preferences not being saved'.
It's Firefox spontaneously changing my preferences at start-time.
I've been testing; here's what i discover.
1. I install FF14, start it the first time, and disable auto-update (via Tools/Options/Advanced)
At this point - prefs.js in my profile now starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
2. now I exit FF.
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
3. i restart FF (#1)
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
4. i close FF
prefs.js in my profile STILL starts with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
5. I restart FF (#2)
NOW prefs.js has dropped those 2 initial lines, and starts with user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-........etc
Firefox is spontaneously changing my prefs.js.
Before this series of tests I adjusted the prefs.js in all other profiles in this XPSP3 machine to start with
user_pref("app.update.auto", false);
user_pref("app.update.enabled", false);
This is obnoxious.
I expect better from Mozilla.
Suggestions?

How to disable auto clear feature in a text box in IE10

How to disable auto clear button in Text box in IE10
Hi Team,
I saw this question on Microsoft forum but I did not find any reply to this question, therefore, I am re-posting it.
When I run web interface application on IE10, i see there is a new feature which has 'X' at the end of text box and on clicking it it clears the text.
Are there any settings of IE10 that can be changed to disable it or some code snippet?
I find the 'X' sign at the end of text box very annoying and would like to turn it off and make it compatible with older versions of IE and other explorers.
Looking forward to your answer at the earliest.
Regards
Sakshi
