Disable WLAN when LAN connected - how do I do?

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating from HP notebooks to Lenovo. We used to set a BIOS setting called "LAN/WLAN Switch" in the HP notebooks, which makes the WLAN to disable when the LAN cable is plugged in or the pc is docked
Where do I find a similar setting in Lenovo notebooks?
We need it because LAN and WLAN is on separate subnets, and Windows XP has trouble working with both nets at the same time. Users compalins about loss of network connectivity if both nets are enabled at the same time.
There may be a way to configure LAN/WLAN-switching in the Lenovo software, but we prefer to use the build in WLAN functionality in Windows, not using Access Connection or similar third party WLAN software. Our experience shows that uses often have difficulties finding out how to use third party WLAN software when traveling and need to connect to other WLAN's. The build in Windows WLAN software has the advantage that it is always the same, no matter which brand or model of pc they are using.

iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
         of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
     2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
         red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
          If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
          and Home buttons.
     3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
         The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
         charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
         start with step 2 again.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My iPad is disabled, but when I connect to iTunes it says it has a passcode and you need to enter it. So how do I enter it if it's disabled.

A student's iPad is managed by Meraki and the student acccidently disabled it. Now when I connect to itunes on my Mac, it says that the iPad has a passcode. But, you can not enter or do anything on the iPad since it is disabled. I also tried in Meraki to erase the device or clear the passcode, but it only goes into a Pending queue. Any help?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Hang of RMI call when LAN connection removed

I have a client server application with comms using RMI across a TCP/IP LAN. We are in test at the moment and one of the tests is to ensure that when the LAN connection is removed, the client application handles it correctly.
We have discovered that if we pull the LAN whilst an RMI call is in progress, the call never returns, even if we subsequently plug the LAN back in. Why should this be? I would have expected a RemoteException as soon as I pull the LAN out. How come the thread gets deadlocked?
Note that we are running JRE 1.2 on the client (they are soon to be updated but it's 1400 remote, unattended sites so it's an expensive process to update to a recent JRE).
Thanks
Mat

Thanks ejp - couple of dollars coming your way. Be a couple more if you (or anyone else) can help further.
Firstly, how would I set this property in the code?
Secondly, would it be set in the client or the factory (yes we do have one)? If it's in the factory, will that help me from the client side (that's where I need it to work). I looked up the responseTimeout property and it looks like this is more for the server to close incoming connections. The problem I have is on the client side - I need the client (i.e. that is making the RMI call via an exported remote object) to be able to kill off a call that has going too long (for instance because it can't detect the closed TCP connection).
Maybe I've misunderstood the documentation I've found but that's how I read it.
Thanks again!

HT1212 i'm trying to enable my disabled mini when it connects to itunes it says it needs the passcode entered on the mini to continue. i can't get on the mini.

I'm trying to enable my disabled ipad mini. When it connects to itunes and click on restore, it begins. Then, less than half way through process it says I need to enter my passcode on the device to continue. I can't get on my device to do so. What do I do?

WLC 5508 disable wlan client still connected

I have one wlc 5508 running on latest IOS 7.116, there is one wlan abc which i have disable status and disable broadcast, but randomly still i can see from wlc dashboard there is one client connected to this wlan abc. The moment i check on the client details, there is no client connected to that wlan and when return to dashboard, no more client connected to that wlan abc. This happened in randomly, it is bug or something else?

I would guess that the client entry also indicates "probing" as status. It means that the client is not connected. It is actually probing, so it"s looking for that SSID that it probably associated to in the past (so it remembers about it)

WLAN and LAN connection on same Laptop

I have encountered this problem that if a laptop is connected to network through ethernet cable and also by Wireless card, it does not work properly (some small disconnections if there is a disruption in wireless signal etc).
Can someone advise me which connection (cable or wireless) gets preferrence when both are available? Is there a way in Windows XP SP2 to select manually which one should have a priority?
Also is there a way that whenever laptop is connected to network via cable, wireless connection should be stopped/disabled automatically and comes back up again automatically when ethernet cable is un-plugged?
Thanks,

Hi,
First of all, in this multi homed configuration, I experience problems with some applications that pass through the 2 interfaces. The outgoing trafic is forwarded by the ethernet interface whereas the incoming trafic from the server income by the wireless interface (usually because of the first DNS entry associated with the IP address of the wireless infrastructure).
What i know is that In windows XP, there is a preemption made for the interfaces based on the throughoutput of each interfaces. That means your 100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface is always prioritized in comparison of the 54 Mbit/s of your wifi connection. (The 802.11n will change this classification !).
But as you see in my experienced case study, the problem is that you don't control by witch interface the incoming trafic is received.
So, the only way i know to resolve the problem is using CSSC (Cisco Secure Service Client) which is a 802.1x client that manage your PC connexions by allowing priotity to interfaces and used of single-homed configuration. It works if all your interfaces are associated with 802.1x connection. Wether, the CSSC client can't manage all the interfaces.
More information with SCCS user guide:

Hope it helps you.
Bye.
