Disabling Wireless NIC when Wired NIC is being used ?

Hi all,
I understand that Cisco Secure services client has this feature.
However I need competitor info about this ?
I know that Juniper Odyssey also does this.. but howabout Checkpoint or Websense Endpoint Clients ? Anyone has any document or info ?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately we don't use any third party supplicants except Intel PROSet.
Someone had mentioned this can be done via PROSet...I upgraded my version to the latest (12.4) but didn't see that option anywhere.
Could someone please confirm it's indeed available within Intel PROSet, and if so, how do I enable the feature that can disable wireless when docked or connected via wired?

Wireless connections are unusable (slowdown) when Wired connection is being used?

Why do Wifi connections slow down to a unusable when the Wired connection is being used continuously (e.g. downloading software, media, large files)?
How do I stop this?
I don't want the Wired connection to have some form of SuperGod priority over Wireless connections.
We are using the Linksys WRT54GL router
Ping/Latency times go from less than 100ms, when Wired connection is downloading, it shoots up to 550ms+ to over 1 second.
Websites just time out or take 5 minutes to load a broken form of it as if it half the HTML cut off in random places and the stylesheet is missing.
Download speed goes from 15Mb/s to .2 Mb/s
Online games are unplayable. I die before I can get the chance to move or attack.

Thanks.
Is that the only way it will work, device-MAC address one?
What does Ethernet Port priority do?
I enabled QoS with its default setting on which has all the Ethernet ports set to Low and it did absolutely nothing to improve usability.
Does Wired QoS have any effect on Wireless connections?
Does the field for Optimizing Game Apps affect applications on computers using a Wireless connection?
There is a Wireless QoS section... However it doesn't have any options in it to select devices, port priority, or anything...?
What does enabling WMM Support do?

All of a sudden my new iphone will not hold a charge even when it is not being used and I can't figure out why???

my battery drains even when iphone is not being used. It is a relatively new phone and this battery draining just started and I can't figure out why????

Yes, thank you. My apologies, I was typing one handed and did not add that.
Anyway, I have tried deleting the cache, deleting my pics and then re-syncing, etc. and nothing is working This is very frustrating, as I had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all of a sudden, I have this issue......UGH!

Don't configure wi-fi (wireless) if/when (wired) ethernet is connected?

Is there a way to have mac os x not configure the wireless if/when the wired ethernet is "Connected".
My problem is that the wired connection is much more robust and I would prefer that connection.
I want both to use dhcp and request a hostname to be associated with the IP given by dhcp.
Since the wireless will almost always come up after the wired ethernet, it seem to want to
still the hostname to IP association and establish it for the wireless IP address.
This is not what I want.
The use case: put laptop to sleep. Move to a location that has wired ethernet.
Laptop is still asleep with the lid closed. Connect the wired ethernet cable.
Open the lid. Laptop wakes up and quickly establishes a connection using
dhcp on the wired ethernet. I little time later the wireless connection gets established.
The hostname get stolen from the wired and moved to the wireless which is
not at all optimal.
If there is anyway to avoid this, I would really appreciate it if someone could point
me to the solution.
Thanks.

This is a bug in OS X. It seems if WiFi is on, even if there is a Ethernet cable connected it always defaults to the WiFi connection. Even if the WiFi is off and you have a Ethernet cable connected when you turn on the computer and then turn on WiFi it again defaults to the WiFi connection.
I notice this all the time with file transfers across my home LAN. If the MBP WiFi is on the transfers take forever.
If I turn off WiFi files move much quicker from computer to computer. If I then turn on WiFi and do another transfer it goes slow again. This is with a Ethernet cable connected the whole time.
The computer, any computer, should aways default to the fastest connection no matter what other connections are available. In OS X this is not the case.
The other bug you are seeing is the NetBIOS name, Host name, not being propagated properly on the WINS tab under Network, Advanced, WINS, at least it is for me. Which stops Windows PCs from connecting to a Mac.
Sure the Mac Host name shows up on Win PCs but when trying to reach the Mac it comes up with a Username & Password dialog and even though you type in the correct Username & Password for the Mac it comes back with "Name or Password are incorrect".

VB Script to Disable Wireless LAN on Wired connection detection

We have few E6400, E4300, E6410 and E4310 in our environment which do not support
Disabled upon Wired Connect option. Is there a script which can disable the Wi Fi as soon as these machines are connected to LAN wired connection and enable the Wi Fi when Wired connection is not available. Please help it is very urgent.
If any script is available can it be run as a Windows service as we can't run it via GPO Start up script? Please help.

We have these same systems, so I also need a solution for this. I only have an E6420 available to me right now, and this model supports the "Disabled upon Wired Connect".
I believe that the best way to tackle this would be to look for the event(s) for the wired connection connecting and disconnecting. Looking at the event log on my system, I determined that the disconnecting event is Event Code 27, and the connecting event(s)
are 33 and 34.
With that information, I can setup a loop that waits and will only trigger on these events. Depending on the event ID, I then find the wireless network adapter and either enable or disable it accordingly.
The script below will need to be started during Windows startup or through a scheduled task to trigger at user logon or system startup. This is untested on the machines you have listed, I may be able to test this when I am back in the office next week.
The advantage of this script is that it is using event notifications as opposed to continuous loops (which are processor intensive). This script will simply sit idle in the background until the events are triggered, at which time the wireless adapter is
either enabled or disabled. The script will then wait for one of the events to occur again, and so on...
Please let me know how this works for you, like I said, I need this also and the more people testing it the better the solution will be.

Slow connection with wireless, normal when wired

I've looked at the previous posts regarding this problem but I don't know how to do any of the recommended procedures. I can connect to the internet wirelessly with no problem but my wireless connection has become very slow all of a sudden (speakeasy speed test is 150-300 kbps). If I connect with a cable instead (wired connection) I get my great Comcast digital cable download speed on Speakeasy which is 15-16 Mbps! Previous posts mention looking at what the "RWIN" is set at and changing it but I'm not comfortable messing around with such basic Windows XP settings when I don't know how to reset back to the default if it doesn't work. Is there any patch from Linksys for fixing this or another easy way to fix it? Thanks! Kenshu

First thing is download firmware from www.linksys.com/download, and update it to latest version. Now follow this from a wired computer : Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Here enable MTU and set size to 1350. Go to security tab, and disable block anonymous internet requests. Change channel to 11. Go to advanced wireless settings and here change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, and RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2. Now reboot modem and router.

Loss of laptop wireless connection when wired desktop connects

I haven't had this problem when i first bought the router but recently if my desktop is connected by a wired connection I am either unable to connect wirelessly via laptop, or if I am already connected, will be disconnected. Can anyone help please??? Thank you

Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network? If so, list all the fixed LAN IP addresses that you use. Also, if you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.

Help with wireless speed when wired is perfect!

I have Verizon FiOS internet and a Macbook 13" with OS X 10.6.4. When I am hard wired to my Verizon router, my internet speed is perfect (download/upload tests confirm this). When I am wireless, my internet crawls (and the download test reflects a FAR lower number). I spoke to Verizon and they said that it's not an internet problem because it works perfectly wired and that it's likely an Apple issue that's not allowing the wireless to work properly. My Verizon router IS next to my TV, but even when I moved it and put the computer right next to it, internet speed is incredibly slow. Let me know if you need further info and thanks so much in advance for any help!
Eric

Welcome to the discussions!
When I am wireless, my internet crawls (and the download test reflects a FAR lower number)
Is is possible for you to take the MacBook down to the coffee place, library or other location with wireless available? If so, you can test to see what type of connection you get.
If the MacBook connects well and pages load at good speeds...as I suspect they will...you will have confirmation that the MacBook is working fine and the issue is with the wireless on the FIOS router. If that's the case, you need to insist that FIOS techs come to your house so you can check out and test any changes they make before they leave.
If, on the other hand, you find that the MacBook still performs very slowly, then it's probably time to have the laptop's wireless card or internal antenna checked out for proper operation at the Apple store.

WRT530N recently started to drop Wireless Signal when wired computer boots

In the last week or so the wirlessly connected computer sees the wireless signal (WMP300N card) drop whenever the wired computer is booted. Looking at the router one can see the wireless light go off briefly. The Wireless computer, XP SP3 is the one effected, so I opened the WIRELESS NETWORKS and I can see it go from CONNECTED to ACQUIRING ADDRESS.
We've got a wireless printer, and HP, and it too seems to be effected, as it rings a chime when it connects.
I've had it drop with all computers off as well, or even all on, too recently.
Is the router 'dying' or do I need to re-flash it (it has the latest), or reset to original defaults?
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Irv S.

You are not understanding. Just because the link is at 270 mbps, does not mean you are actually getting that speed.
The whole 2.4 spectrum is only 60 mhz. 40 mhz uses bonded channels which means it is subject to 2 times the amount of interference as 20 mhz. It is using 2/3 of the 2.4 spectrum. So if there are any other wireless networks around, or wireless devices that use that spectrum you will see a dramatic loss in speed, but not necessarily the link it shows.
While it may show a link of 270 mbps, it may only be using 10mps due to interference.
I do understand that. I've run InSSIDer and checked what is also in the area. I see only 2 other SSID's, and both are very weak. Live in single family homes here. I would think most of my neighbor's are not techies and wouldn't hide the SSID's. Only one of them isn't a default SSID as well.
I've checked the speed between my Gigabit wired and my wife's wireless when copying files via Windows explorer. Moving at the rate of about 20 - 25MBps, here machine is only 10 feet from the router. Lowest speed is about 12MBps at times. Depends on the drive on here machine, RAID 0, standard or external. Could be the disk speed that is the limit here, not the connection.
Checking the iPad, it showed 20Mbps with and without the 40Mhz channel, that had no effect on it?
My other router, the ASUS RT-N56U is due back from Repair today. I'll be putting that back and we'll see if that fixes this problem? If it does, I'm going to RESET this LinkSys and put it back and see what happens. I'll try relashing it too if necessary.

Firefox automatically crashes after 4 hours of use and only when a textbox is being used - problem now daily and getting worse

This has been going on for a few weeks and started of it's own accord. I have not recently installed any new plugins or scripts, and my PC is protected by two antivirus products and so my system (WinXP) is malware free.
I can browse firefox for up to 4 hours, and then it crashes. No matter what sites I am using, what I am doing or even if I'm at the PC... so long as there's a text box on the page then firefox will crash if the 4 hour time limit expires. I can be just about to save an hours worth of photo captions and lose all that work due to the crash, or can be in the middle of a background download but it'll still crash... daily.
I thought this was a plugin issue, as I have disabled all plugins for javascript handling, flashgot, etc, but still it crashes. (previously on startup Firefox would hang for 5 to 10 minutes and the system would "bing" at me if I tried to click on the firefox window... eventually a 'non responsive script' window would appear relating to a flashgot script). The crash used to go whereby suddenly the page would freeze for a few seconds, followed by a minute or two of safe working, then 2 minutes of freeze and 30 seconds of safe working, with the ratio of freeze-tim:working time working in 20 seconds increments until firefox crashed... now though there is no warning, the page freezes and then it's gone. I have updated firefox several times and still the problem persists. On a previous computer, Firefox degraded to the point where it froze for 4 minutes on any page with a Flash application... now on this computer it has degraded by itself to the point where it crashes after 4 hours of use.
I'm presently using Internet Explorer to type this question because firefox crashed again and I'm not going to sit waiting for it to reload just to get a few numbers from an information screen... therefore further info like crash ID's etc will be update in due time....

Cool, I'll try using the wall adaptor just as soon as I get a convertor for it to convert it to our socket type. It's nice to hear that someone else has experienced the same issue.
I am not using it as a phone in Australia, just the ipod and wifi.

What happens when the Powerbook is being used as a laptop?

Sorry if you read this twice - I mistakenly posted it as a reply rather than a question. I am waiting for my new Powerbook along with an Airport Extreme Base Station. I plan to network the Powerbook with 2 PC desktops and a PC laptop.I know I will have to use the Powerbook to configure the network, but I want to know whether it will have to be present and connected whenever the network is in use - it is, after all, a laptop and therefore sometimes not in the house. There are only two of us living here, each of whom will own a desktop and laptop when the Powerbook gets here. Would it make a difference to accessibility when the Powerbook is travelling if we connect one of the desktops to the lan port on the Base Station instead of running everything wirelessly?

Why does the string indicator revert to default value when it's not being used?

Can anyone explain to me why one of the two string indicators in the attached VI reverts to it's default value (empty) when the case structure is false?

LabView bug.vi ‏8 KB

String 1 is wired to the connector pane...that's why you're seeing this behavior. Disconnect String 1 from the connector pane and it will behave just like String 2. Likewise, connect String 2 to the connector pane and you'll see it get blanked out too. I'm not really sure why we empty the value when it's wired to the connector pane, but the behavior goes back to LabVIEW 8.0, maybe earlier.

Lenono Vibe X2 Battery Die even when phone is not being used

HI,
I baught Lenovo Vibe X2 couple of months back, and I continuously noticed that the battery of my phone die within 4-5 hours. Even i am not using my phone at all it doesn't work for more then 7-8 hours.
I am seriously not able to understand what to do with this mobile. Having a new mobile in my hand with charger connected everywhere i go. This is not acceptable from such a big brand.
I would like to add one more thing, after use of 10-15 minute it heats up like a buring stove.
I upgraded it with the updates but nothing worked at all, and now i am in serious trouble as my job is to travel a lot.
Please suggest me what to do.
Thanks,
Santosh

Moderator note: Personal information removed for member's protection.

This is not usualy for the X2. The X2 does not really heat up and the battery should last for at least a day with normal usage. I don't have the X2 but it should have about 4 to 5 hours of onscreen, that is when you have the screen on for 4 to 5 hours that is how long it should last. With moderate ussage you should last a day.
It could be either that you installed some apps that are killing your battery or you get some third party viruses or malware. If this would be the case you could reset the phone to factory settings and get everything that should not be there deleted and wiped out. I would not even do a back-up to make sure all is deleted fully and truly.
Second, your phone could have some hardware issue and for that you are best to cotact the service center and they might repair or exchange your unit. Finally, if you go the Settings > Power management > Power consumption details --- you will see what app or hadware is consuming your batter the most, and based on that you can act.

Can I stop SMS notification when the iPhone is being used as a phone?

I love my iPhone, but the one thing that is driving me mad is SMS notifications coming through when I'm talking on the phone - a startling loud alert when the phone is pressed hard against my ear makes me jump every time, and actually hurts a bit too! I don't want to have my SMS alerts as silent, I'd just like the phone to realise that shouting 'PING!' in my ear when I'm on the phone is not good for my hearing or nerves!

Location services icon blinks on even when no notifications are being used also recently used services should have a purple arrow but mine is grey

My location indicator icon on the tool bar seems to blink on randomly even when I have not used any services. Also when I do use a service I am not seeng the purple icon in the pricacy-location services appearing next to the recently used icon it seems to stay grey. Any ideas? Is this a bug perhaps?

I experience the same thing today. After hanging up from a regular phone call, I noticed the location services icon showing on the status screen of my phone for a split second. I always have my location services off. I checked my privacy settings and there was no record of any program using the location services. What is going on Apple? I was in a familar and secure WiFi network. Is location services secretly turning on thru wifi?
