Does switching between PPPoE and DHCP cause complications?

I've been trying to help a colleague with a MacBook Pro sort out wireless networking issues. At her desk, she connects by Ethernet to her DSL modem, which uses PPPoE. When roaming her office she uses a Linksys Wireless N modem, which serves up IP addresses via DHCP (and is connected to a second modem elsewhere on the premises). There seems to be no simple way of switching between the wireless and the wired connection: when I unplug the Ethernet cable, even though there's a wireless signal, there's no Internet connectivity. And when I plug the Ethernet back in, I have to go into System Preferences and reselect Ethernet manually and confirm all the settings before it'll connect. I tried creating locations but this didn't seem to have any effect.
I'm reading a lot of posts that suggest the MacBook Pros have wireless networking difficulties. Is this an inherent problem, then, that we're dealing with or might it have to do with the conflicting protocols?
Any insights would be much appreciated.

As third party 802.11n routers are still using a draft standard, you may run into issues with them if their firmware isn't up to date. See my WiFi FAQ (x) for potential solutions.

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

Is there an easy way to switch between ehternet and wifi connection without having to disconnect the ethernet cable?

Hi All
Was wondering if there is an easy way to switch between ethernet and wifi connection on Apple TV without having to disconnect the ethernet cable. The reason I ask is that I find it quicker to use my ethernet connection via a Netgear Powerline Home Theatre Set-up to stream Trailers and Movies on the Apple TV, however this is no good when connecting directly to my Mac to stream music or TV shows in iTunes, so revert to the wifi connection that I created on my Time Capsule to do this.
Would be handy if Apple TV had a menu option where you could manually change the connection type depending on what you were doing, as per above scenario.
Cheers
Brett

Unable to switch between 3g and 4g on my Lucid

After an update a week or so ago, my LG Lucid has completely lost the functionality of switching between 3g and 4g. As 4g is a battery hog I kept it mostly on 3g (but not always) and since the update , I am stuck on 3g. Took it to the Verizon store for a techie to look at it and he was stumped. I used to access thru "settings" - "about phone" - "network" - "network type and strength" , which brought me to some toggles where I could choose the network best suited to what I was doing. Now this screen is gone completely and only shows signal strength. The techie suggested a factory data reset, which would not only erase all my items from my phone, but if it did provide 4g service, I would now be stuck all the time on that. I told the tech guy I would wait for a fix to this. My question is, are there others out there with this problem or is there a fix for it. I contacted LG and they said they have had no updates to the phone. Is Verizon denying the problem or even working on it ?????

I have a related issue with my LG Lucid. It tends to get stuck in 3g in areas that I know are 4g. A phone restart usually takes care of it but it sure is a pain to do that. If that fails then a battery remove/replace fixes it. Neither are good options but worth considering while we wait for an update.
There are several 3g/4g switch free apps available too but none that say they support Lucid. I found that 3G/4G On/Off (Toggle 3G) by JuYeo! Oh works well to turn on 3g when the Lucid doesn't do it but I haven't found a way to turn on 4g.

Switch between speakers and headset on X-

I've got X-Fi Fatalty FPS edition and desperately need to find a way to switch between headset and speakers. Especially since I use teamspeak a lot in games and don't want my speakers to echo while I'm talking.
There is an option to mute speakers when the headphone jack is connected, but that requires me to reconnect the headphone plug each time I want to use them.
There must be a switch to turn only the speakers off manually as well?
With Soundblaster Li've! Digital, this problem was easily solved by switching between digital mode on and off, as my speakers were connected digitally and my headset on analog.
But with X-Fi, there's no way to turn off the digital speakers alone.
Please help.

Plug your speakers into the soundcard as usual.
use the front mounted headphone socket on the fromt of the X-Fi I/O unit to connect your headset and set the control panel to automatically mute your speakers when the headset is connected. Your speakers will mute when the headset is plugged in and all you have to do is plug or unplug the headset at the front to switch modes!...Now please do not ask about doing the same with your mike connector!! see other thread by me!! p.s creative do ship a /4" to 3.5mmm adapter with the card.
Hope I have understood your post

Unable to switch between txt and Facebook

After the 8.1 update I can't switch between txt and Facebook anymore. Not sure if its something I'm doing wrong but I used to have a button in each contact that allowed me to txt them or send it to their Facebook inbox. I no longer have that button, yet I have group set to on. Does anyone know if this was removed with the new update or I'm missing something out. Thanks Donna
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would agree that removing the facebook/social media integration is a definite step back. Microsoft reasons that with the new implementation it will be easier for 3rd part developers to fill this gap, I personally think this was a bad design choice and found that this functionality specifically was great and very useful.

Automatic switch between personal and business mod...

Hello,
I appreciate particularly the personal / business home screen content differentiation on the E55. My wife uses E75 and appraises it as well. We have a problem though: it is quite boresome to have to switch manually when you leave or come home.
Does anyone know that can be done automatically, for example during business days and hours ?
Thanks
Daniel

Unfortunately no.
My suggestion is to try both and stick with the one that looks best on the most channels that you regularly watch. I have a 720p LCD but the 1080i setting in my DVR provides the best HD picture by just a little bit.
Also, you have an option you can set for the SD channels (SD Override). I prefer OFF, which means that the SD channels are sent to my TV also using 1080i. This results in a slightly worse SD picture than using 480i or 480p, but eliminates the extremely annoying 2-4 second delay (HDMI re-sync) when switching between HD and SD channels. Again, I suggest you try the various settings and pick the one that you like best (or hate less?)

NetworkManager - switching between wired and wireless

Hello!
I’ve set up a new laptop with Arch and now have a question concerning NetworkManager. Is it possible in NM to switch between wired and wireless connections like it is with Connman (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … d_wireless)?
So far it appears that NM only disables the wired connection when wireless is used but keeps the wireless alive when switching to wired.
I have already looked for a corresponding configuration but couldn’t find anything that helps.
Thanks in advance.

Easy Mode:
You can install the tlp-rdw package and edit the /etc/default/tlp configuration file which has an option that does that.
Hard Mode:
If you don't want to install a package and its dependencies, you can write your own script and put it in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d and have the NetworkManager dispatcher hook run the script (which is actually what tlp-rdw does but you don't have to install the tlp package as a dependency)
Note: tlp is a power manager and if you have any other power managers installed it might conflict with them so be wary of that.
Here is the wiki page on tlp https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tlp

MBP keeps switching between charged and charging

After updating to 10.5.6 my MBP has started switching between charged and charging once the charge reaches about 96%. I've tried resetting the SMC but hasn't helped. I'm trying to calibrate the battery now but it is a very slow process since charging the last 4% seems to take forever.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

Does trickle charging really switch between charged and charging at one second intervals?
The 10.5.6 changes to the battery menu must have been more than removing from menu options then because I had to turn off the text the continuous switching between charged and charging became too visually distracting.

When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

How to quickly switch between straight and curly quotes?

I've recently moved from a Windows XP machine with MS Office to a Mac Pro with Pages.
For the kinds of documents I typically work on, sometimes I need to have straight quotes, and sometimes curly quotes. With MS Word, I was able to create a couple of macros that would switch these preferences for me. With these macros linked to an icon in the toolbar, switching between straight and curly quotes was as easy as clicking a button.
Now I'm looking for a way to do this -- or something like it -- with Pages.
I know how to switch back and forth using the preferences menu, of course, but I'm looking for something quicker and simpler, since I often have to make this change several times a day.
Can Automator do something like this? Or is there another way?
-- Eric

Turn off the auto correction and you can type Curly quotes with:
left single ‘ option ]
right single ’ option shift ]
left double “ option [
right double ” option shift [
If you want the French quotes « and » they are option and option shift |

Can't switch between fill and outline.

Here's the problem: I'm on an iMac, new, trying to use illustrator CS5. after using CS3 for a few years. In CS5, if I draw a shape, flat, in the illustration, then try to give it an outline, or change the outline, or do anything with the outline, I can't. If I click on the Shape tools in the toolbox and draw out an oval, for example, I can switch between outline and fill without any problems. Select shape, go to toolbox, select curved arrow for switching from one to the other. That's it. But if I draw a freehand shape, then try it, i can't do it. THIS IS A BIG CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THE APP. GET IT? What is the problem? If it's something I have done, fine, tell me and I'll fix it. I tried calling Adobe support in Bangalore, and it took 30 minutes just to get the problem thoroughly appreciated by the techies. They just couldn't get the idea for half an hour! I had to go over it 4 or 5 times. And they couldn't come up with an answer. they were no help at all. I'm hoping the forum will yield better results. This is pathetic, guys. Your 90-day tech support is a worthless piece of crap, guys. The only tech support we have is this catch-as-catch-can forum. I've been using Illustrator since 1987, (illustrator 88) believe it or not, it's true. And I've always been able to get tech support to cure the ills. Not any more. Is that the way Adobe plans to offer tech support? if there were a way to contact Adobe Tech Support by going around Adobe Bangalore, i would use it. But, alas, I am stuck with this.

Dear Monika and Mylenium: I figured out part of the problem, but not the solution: The shape I had drawn -and coudn't switch between fil and stroke on-is one I had already done a gradient mesh on, too. I had later abandoned the gradient mesh by using the option key to delete mesh lines, but that didn't take the shape all the way back to its original flat state. So it wasn't a plain drawn shape any more. So how do I release the gradient mesh to get back to a flat shape? I'm also having trouble keeping the shapes in RGB or CMYK mode-they keep defaulting back to greyscale. Could that also be a symptom of using gradient mesh? Note: I'm using gradient mesh for the very first time now; I've never used it before. It seems to leave a lot of unexpected baggage behind. I would send a screen shot, but if I start up Grab or Voila, all the AI pallets go away, and that's half the information. So how do I control gradient mesh?

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

JSF / Switch between HTTP and HTTPS

Hello!
I want to switch between HTTP and HTTPS using JSF.
Under Apache Struts framework I can use struts extension "sslext.jar" to configure switching between http and https in one web application.
e.g. Login-jsp should be secured, all other jsp's should run unsecured.
Any ideas?
regards
Harald.

Thanks,
I made the necessary enhancement for the second phase, password confirmation required when return to SSL zone after leaving it after a succesful login.
I did the following:
1) create a class in the application scope and/or singleton class with the servlet paths that require SSL
2) create a plugin that reads ActionConfigs from the ModuleConfig
3) create a filter that sets a request scope flag that says that password must re-entered.
Code Extracts:
1) MainshopContainer application level parameter singleton class:
private static HashMap sslZoneMap = new HashMap(50); // key = servlet path of request, example /login.do
public boolean isInSSLZone(String servletPath)
return this.sslZoneMap.containsKey(servletPath);
public void addToSSLZone(String servletPath)
this.sslZoneMap.put(servletPath,null);
public int getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone()
return this.sslZoneMap.size();
2) Struts plugin
add a call to loadSSLZoneMap in plugin init method:
loadSSLZoneMap(config, mainshopContainer);
private void loadSSLZoneMap(ModuleConfig config, MainshopContainer mainshopContainer)
throws ServletException
try {
ActionConfig[] actionConfigs = config.findActionConfigs();
for (int i = 0; i < actionConfigs.length; i++)
if (actionConfigs.getParameter().indexOf("/jsp/account/") < 0) // /account/* = URL path for SSL zone
// not found = not ssl zone
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following actionConfigs excluded from SSL Zone: "+actionConfigs[i].getPath());
else
// found = ssl zone
String servletPath = actionConfigs[i].getPath()+".do";
mainshopContainer.addToSSLZone(servletPath);
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, following servletPath added to SSL Zone: "+servletPath);
System.out.println("loadSSLZoneMap, number of actions in SSL Zone: "+mainshopContainer.getNumberOfActionsInSSLZone());
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
throw new ServletException("Exception caught in loadSSLZoneMap: "+ex.toString()+" Initialization aborted.",ex);
3)
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
String servletPath = req.getServletPath();
boolean secure= this.mainshopContainer.isInSSLZone(servletPath);
The wole picture:
The filter adds a RequestDTO object that includes all request parameters, one of them is the secure flag.
I have a session scope class UserContainer that includes all the session parameters, one of them is the lastRequestDTO.(last made request)
At the end of all my jsp's I set the lastRequestDTO variable.
In that method I set the passwordConfirmationRequired flag if needed:
public void setLastRequestDTO(RequestDTO _lastRequestDTO)
if (this.lastRequestDTO != null && this.lastRequestDTO.isSecure() != _lastRequestDTO.isSecure())
this.setPasswordConfirmationRequired(true);
this.lastRequestDTO = _lastRequestDTO;
I read the passwordConfirmationRequired in all my jsp's in the SSL zone that allow editing or deleting and if that flag is true, a valid password must be re-entered in order to make the updates.
When the password is OK I reset the passwordConfirmationRequired to false.
I need some help for the first phase, that is SSL setup for all actions related to jsp's with url path /account/*
I tought I could define it in the web.xml:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>All Account Related Pages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/account/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
but that doesn't work and finnaly understood why:
Example: /WEB-INF/jsp/account/login.jsp corresponds to /login.do
The url pattern /account/* at the container level is never encountered.
Is it allowed to declare the following action path: /account/login instead of /login?
If yes I could add following prefix /account to all my action paths and forward paths and this could resolve my problem.
What's your opinion?
If no, would your library resolve this?
Will all the Struts/JSP/JSTL url generating tags pick-up the required protocol (http/https) according to your configuration file?
Regards
Fred

Switching between Design and JSP tabs add code?

I am new to SJSC and I am taking the time to go through all of the little odds & ends of the IDE.
I was looking at:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/tor?entry=computing_html_on_the_fly
And I decided to try this.
When I add the following in the JSP tab:
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.tableHtml}" id="outputText1"/>Save.
Then click on the Design tab, then go back to the JSP tab, I now have:
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.tableHtml}" id="outputText1"/>
<h:outputText binding="#{Page1.outputText1}" id="outputText1"/>It's late here, but this doesn't make any sense, why would switching between Design and JSP tabs add code?
Thanks,
