Disable internet but not MMS, is it possible?

Hi guys,
my girlfriend has an iPhone 4, the "stable" situation was that she was able to send and receive MMS, but not to browse in internet (but through WiFi of course). She liked the situation, because in Italy rates to go in internet are not very convenient...
Then Vodafone decided to provide her (as gift) with one month of free internet. She accepted and her iPhone "got configured"... somehow...
Now that the month is expired, now and then some application connects and she pay quite a lot of money to Vodafone... The only way in which she can avoid the problem is by disabling 3G and GPRS data, however with this she can't send and receive MMS...
Vodafone said that it is not in their services configuration the problem, but in her phone, and that she should find proper way to disable internet. Any idea of how to do it, without losing MMS?
THANKS!!
Marco

I have an iPhone 3GS, and I live happily without being connected... Or better, I have WiFi in office and at home and I don't need more... Indeed my iPhone can send MMS, but it cannot browse internet without Vodafone configuring my phone somehow...
The same situation applied to my girlfriend with her iPhone 4G, but after Vodafone "promotion", now the phone is configured and we cannot do anything about it...
The question was if it was possible to configure iPhone 4G to go back to the previous situation... In 3GS, I have Settings -> General -> Network, I have options to configure APN connection data, while iPhone 4G doesn't seem to have it... Does anyone know how to configure the phone?
Thanks,
Marco

Is it possible to connect an iMac to the internet but not to the network?

Hello,
I volunteered to purchase an iMac for our company. This huge company maintains a huge windows-only network environment and IT does not support any macs (nor do they want to have them on the network).
Hence, since we really need this machine to be a mac and not a PC I had to promise to set it up as a stand-alone machine and to get anti-virus protection (as users will be coming in with their jump drives etc). At least for the latter reason (regular updates of virus definitions must be possible) we'd like to have it connected to the internet.
How would I escape the dilemma that as soon as I'd hook it up via ethernet, it would of course get internet but at the same time would see all other machines on the network? (it will sure do so as I had tried it out with some other machine running on the same OS)
Is there a way to configure Snow Leopard to allow for internet but not network access?
Does it make sense at all (for security reasons that is)?
thank you very much,

Is there a way to configure Snow Leopard to allow for internet but not network access?
Well, 'internet' is 'network access' so at one level your question makes no sense.
If, on the other hand, what you want to do is segregate your Mac from the other machines then that's a different issue. There are numerous ways of doing that, but most would involve some level of interaction with the network administrators. Given their ana^H^H^H attitude towards Macs that may be an issue.
The best way would be to setup a separate VLAN for the Mac. This will create a separate logical network within the company network with only this Mac and the network router in it. No PC would see the Mac, and the Mac wouldn't be scarred by seeing all those PCs. This cannot be done without buy-in from the network admins, though.
A step down from that would be to use one PC in the network as a gateway to the rest of the network. The Mac would talk to this PC, and the PC would pass the data out to the rest of the network. This would require admin rights on the PC, though, which you may or may not have (I've seen a lot of corporate networks… :: shudder ::)
The last option would be to setup an entirely separate internet connection for the Mac but there are logistical issues there, too.
My advice: Buy a dozen Krispy Kremes for the network guys and sweet talk them into building you a VLAN.

I won't give you a lecture about how poor WEP encryption is, but are you sure that is the problem? Is it possible that your new modem (or the carrier behind it) is not providing DHCP service?

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

Bad video quality on Atom over Internet, but not o...

I have an Asus netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom, 1GB DDR3, and XP. The video quality when in a call over the Internet is almost always bad, and Skype complains the computer is "slow". There is no virus scanner or any other garbage running that sucks up resources. I keep it lean.
So I tried using a different computer to make the call; an 8 year old Sempron laptop, also with XP and 2.2GHz or close to that. Video quality is great. So it's obviously a computer performance issue, right?
It gets stranger. I set up a video call between these two computers over my LAN (i.e. within the same house). Video quality is great on both.
The results have been similar over a span of a year or more, calling people in different parts of the country, and even dropping Wifi and using a cable.
So what causes Skype to think the computer is slow when video calling over the Internet, but not when calling another computer on the same LAN? I have a theory, but I'll hold that thought for right now.

I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well.

Airport express connects to internet, but not print server

hello all. i hope someone can help me with this. 2 days ago, my wife was able to print using her ibook/airport expess setup. today, the network diagnostics has this message: "network diagnostics was able to connect to the internet but not to the server EPSON Stylus CX3800.pdldatastream.tcp.local. this could be caused by problems with the server, or an internet problem between this computer and the server." she says this happened when she turned it on. what could be causing this? any and all help welcome. mcrat

You can reset the AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ.
Then you can use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the AX.

Hi i use the hp lap in connecting for internet but not open the bro

hi
i have some problam in my laptop in connecting for internet but not open for broswer and not update for software tell the solution

Hi @jerry3 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not getting to the Internet. First try just to reset the router. Unplug from the power wait a few moments and plug back in.
Can get to safe mode with command prompt? F11 upon startup choose safe mode with Networking.
Can you get to the Internet in safe mode?
Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Connects to internet but not local network

My AX worked fine for the past year. While traveling I disconnected the AX and set the wireless mode in Airport Admin Utility to 'Wireless disabled' and then connected an iMac by ethernet wire for our housesitter. All worked well. On my return I plugged in the AX and reset the Wireless Mode to 'Create a Wireless Network (home router)'. All appeared to work well for the past week. Until today.... when I tried to print wirelessly to a printer connected to my server in the office outside our home. The MacBook Pro was unable to find the printer or the server. It was formerly able to this with no problem.
The MacBook Pro can connect to the internet by the AX but not to my local network.
When I choose 'connect to server' from the Go menu I'm unable to locate the server. I determined that if I enter the local address in the 'server address' window I am able to connect but remain unable to print. My former protocol was to choose the 'browse' button and choose from a list of possible computers (their are a number of Macs possibly on the network).
If I take the MacBook Pro across the driveway to the office and plug into my network the computer finds the server and the printer with no problem.
I've done a hard-reset twice - to no avail. And attempted a factory default re-set 3x but don't believe it worked since the green light didn't flash 4x as expected - it came on briefly and then turned amber while it re-started, but when I used Airport Set up Assistant all my former settings were there and the same password I had entered so I don't believe it reset to factory defaults.
Yow!
I'll really appreciate any assistance.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sure linksys will take care of bug(if any) you mentioned.

Why has my ipad mini stoppedaccessing mail and internet but not skype?

2 days ago my ipad mini 2 suddenly decided to stop being able to access email or use safari to browse the internet when connected to the cellular network - but NOT when connected to wifi. It also only connects to words with friends via wifi as well as other games.
Oddly enough I am still able to use skype.
Please help! I have injured my foot and would like to avoid having to track down an Apple store if possible.
So far I have tried:
rebooting the normal way,
resetting the ipad,
resetting the network settings,
resetting all settings on the ipad,
removing the sim card and reinserting it,
deleting the email account and adding it again -
all to no avail. Still desperately looking for an answer!

A restore might help.

Enable ESS over the internet but not the MSS

Hello gurus!!!
I have a few questions that I need to get clarified. We have a Portal server and we installed ESS and MSS business packages on it. Now, our requirement is that we just need to expose ESS applications over the internet and not the MSS applications. When a user gets logged into the portal, the user might be assigned a MSS role and also an ESS role. But when this user tries to login to the portal away from work (ie over the internet), the user should be denied access to the MSS applications but should be allowed to access only the ESS applications.
How can we enable this on one portal server?
Thanks a lot!!

I know its not my Network or ISP because I have RealVNC Enterprise connecting with no issues internally nor outside of my network and it uses the same VNC port 5900 so it can't be that.
ARD only uses port 5900 for observation and control. For other functions ARD uses port 3283. So you may need to open and forward that port as well, or verify that your ISP and other locations aren't blocking.
Regards.

Windows XP hooks up to internet but NOT local network

I have an Airport Base Extreme with a local network that includes my machine and an old B&W G3 and my son's iBook G4. My other son has an IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP SP2. We've looked through the discussions and he's been able to wirelessly hook up to the internet but he doesn't show up on my local network. He's used the info from http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1011.html to help him hook up but he still doesn't show up on my network and he is repeatedly disconnected from the internet. Any ideas?

I'm running the WEP, that's all. My husband just got a new Dell laptop (from work). He was able to hook up to the network without a problem but I can't see him on it either. I can see the Mac and iBook that are on the network but not the Windows machines. Also, when I click on the airport icon in the menu on my iMac, I only see my network. My husband's PC sees other networks that are in our neighborhood.

IMac Connects to Internet, but not File Server

Got one iMac (Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.5.8) that has a network issue. It can always connect to the internet, but sometimes it stops seeing a file server on the network (Tiger server). The server connection will drop out on this computer, but not on any of the other computers on the network. Things I've tried that don't work:
- restarting computer
- re-seating ethernet cable
- trying new ethernet cable
- zapping PRAM on computer
The connection to the server just comes and goes randomly, but only on this computer. Suggestions? Thanks!

Same here with an iMac 27" connecting to a windows server.

Mac Pro will connect to internet but not network with other systems

I have an iMac in my studio reception and a Mac pro and Macbook in my office. All three systems can connect to the internet but the Mac Pro has stopped networking with the iMac. However the iMac can network with the Pro. I have an ethernet cable connection to the Pro (no wi fi card) and I have a wireless router on the iMac which has enabled me to connect the Pro to other systems through wi fi. I also have a PC laptop and the Pro can connect to it via wi fi. Everything was networking properly several weeks ago and as far as I am aware I have not changed any settings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this annoying little problem.

PC can connect to internet but not time capsule

We are having no trouble getting onto our internet or accessing the time capsule with our Mac. However, the PC we have can get onto the internet, but is unable to access the time capsule. We need to be able to backup information from both of our computers.
Please help us!

Did you install the Airport utility onto windows? If not do so.. it should include bonjour which helps greatly. Make sure it does.
TC and wireless names may prevent access to resources.. are your names Apple style with that wonderful apostrophe.. illegal in the windows world?? Spaces in names also not legal.
Change all names to SMB type.. short .. no spaces.. straight alphanumeric.
Do you have permissions issues.. ??
Have you opened file sharing and turned on the guest account.. read and write access.
Do you have the right workgroup..?
Please put in WORKGROUP.. assuming that is the workgroup.
If you still have issues.. are you using homegroup in windows.. well stop it.
If you still have issues .. are you connecting correctly using proper URL in windows explorer, ie \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing with actual name or actual IP)
If you still have issues.. ping the TC by name and IP and turn off all firewalls.
Do each in turn.. even step 1 might be enough.

Disable JComboBox but not blur it

hi,
i want to make it impossible to change te selection of a JComboBox but don't want to blur out the text (my project leader wants it this way as he think most people won't be able to read the blurred text).
with other components (textcomponents, etc) i use setEditable(false) instead of setEnabled(false) but this doesn't work with a JComboBox as setEditable(false) only makes it impossible to enter arbitraty text, changing the selection is still possible.
anyone has any idea how to do this ?
thanks a lot in advance!

the combobox is part of a Form-object
this form object can be different states , when in VIEW-state, all form-components should be readable but not editable, only in EDIT-state should the JComboBox selection be changeable..
thank you very much for your code, it does the trick! (i do have to use ComboBox.foreground instead of ComboBox.selectionForeground which gave me white text)
grtz,
pj
