Encrypting network between computer and printer

I would like to encrypt a network between computer and printer but I see references to ASCII and hexadecimal which I don't understand. Please can anyone explain in simple terms how to go about this?

The picture you showed is the settings for a WiFi network. There are four main types of encryption 40bit WEP, 128bit WEP, and WPA or WPA2. (I am ignoring WPA2 Enterprise as it is unlikely the printer is capable of this.)
WEP and WPA and WPA2 have all been cracked although it is still the case that WPA2 is better than WPA which in turn is better than WEP. On that basis while using eny of these encryption schemes is better than nothing if you are really concerned with security you would be better using an Ethernet cable.
WPA2 Enterprise is still somewhat secure but as its name suggests is not general suitable for home or small office setups.
With regards to ASCII and Hex, WEP passwords can be entered in either style, they would in fact be the same just entered differently. It is possible to convert an ASCII value to Hex and vice-versa.

Recent firedfox update immedately cause break in connection between computer and printer

about 2 weeks ago Firefox offered an update. I clicked to start this. right after the printer failed to respond to the computer and a message said: check cables (done) restart computer(done) check firewall - I don't know how to do this. I have a McAfee contract.
Could this update have caused the problem? was this update offer legitimate or a virus?

I am having problems connecting my imac to a Kodak printer wirelessly. This was previously working fine. The printer states it is connected to the home network but the connection between computer and printer has been lost/ cannot find printer.

In addition, I contacted kodak support and they wished to take control of my computer in order to rectify the problem. I did not allow this as I was worried about security . Can anyone tell me whether once you allow someone to take control of your computer, then it is a security risk. What protection does my imac provide ? Thanks.

I think you can do it on a one time basis, & not allow after that.

Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an airport extreme?

My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme. I have a HP officejet 5610 All-in-One. I want to be able to print wirelessly using my Airport Extreme. Thank you

Is there a difference between AirPrint and printing via usb printer plugged into an AirPort Exreme?
Big difference.
AirPrint for one will not work via USB, so you will not be able to print from an iOS device like an iPhone or iPad using this type of connection unless you look at additional software....that may or may not allow this option.
Assuming that you get the All-in-One setup using the USB port on the AirPort.......only printing is supported.
You will not be able to use any other advanced features like maintenance, scan, copy, fax, etc when the device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort.
If you plan to use the HP for other things, I would strongly recommend that you connect it to your computer.
My printer does not show up in the add a printer option on my iMac when plugged into the extreme.
This usually indicates that your printer model is not supported. Check with HP Support to see if they have any updated Macintosh drivers for the 5610 that you could download and install that might allow this.

Relation between computing and gathering statistics

Hi gurus,
What is the relation between computing and gathering statistics for a database object.Are they mutually dependent or one doesn't have anything to do with the other?How they affect performance of a database??
plz dont redirect..just bottom lines are expected(be specific)
Thanks in advance
anirban

computing term used to collect 100% statistics along with analyze command.
gather stats is a new package provided by the oracle, also recommend to use this instead of analyze. You can also take 100% stats, like compute with analyze command, in gather stats pacakge, parameter estimate_percent=>null.
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('SCHEMA',TABLE',cascade=>true,estimate_percent=>NULL);

I have password on my encrypted backup on computer and cant get in???

i have password on my encrypted backup on computer and cant get in??

If you don't remember the password, you won't be able to recover anything from that backup.
See this Apple doc -> iTunes: About iOS backups
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Wireless connection between computer and HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer.

I just bought an HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a. I want to have a wireless connection between my computer and my printer in order to place the printer in a different room. The instructions say that I need to give the name of my wireless network. Do they mean that I need a wireless internet connection? I absolutely don't want to go wireless on the internet. How do I go about this?

Network between Vista and Mac

i'm trying to create a network between a Vista desktop and my Macbook Pro for files and printer sharing.
after lots work with setting on Vista, I now can enter in MacbookPro folders from Vista. the problem is by Mac side: i can't find the printer connect on Vista (and shared), and the icon of PC don't appear on Finder, so i can't enter on Vista's folders. the problem with file sharing is strange, cause only one time, today, icon of PC was appeared on Finder (come back to Stop of Mac)..... i've traied with the same method another times, without success...
I don't now what to do. I hope someone help me

I have limited knowledge but will try to help you as I have battled through this myself recently...You will lose nothing if you give it a try!
In System Preferences open the Sharing folder. Check the boxes to enable 'File' & 'Printer' Sharing. In the same open window select 'Options'.. Here I have Share files and folders using AFB and (importantly) also Share files and folders using SMB. - 'on' should be checked and 'Account' should i believe be the name assigned to your Macbook. - select 'Done' and then also close the 'sharing' window in sys preferences to take you back to the desktop.
In 'Finder' select the 'Go' option in the toolbar. Select connect to server from the drop down menu. You now need to enter the server address which will be the name of your Vista Pc - enter as follows: smb://(your vista name).. you may have to also enter the password for the Vista machine if it is configured in this way. ( It has been a while since I completed this so a little rusty here!)
If you have entered the correct information when you hit 'Connect', your Macbook should find your Vista desktop that has previously not been appearing in your Macbook 'Sharing' section - this was the issue that I was originally experiencing. You should now see the Vista machine in the Sharing section of your Macbook.
If this has been successful to here... This will enable access to try to solve the printer sharing problem? I think this one is beyond me as there are so many different configurations/installation options dependent upon the type of printer and network configurations.
It is possible to configure your Macbook to automatically find your Vista machine at startup if it is not found as a matter of course, which I perceive to be the case here... Try this to automate connection at startup..
Go to Sys Preferences and sect 'Accounts' you may have to enter your password to initiate changes. Making the assumption that you are connected now to your Vista machine and it is showing in the 'Shared' section of 'Finder'- select the 'Login Items' option and then select the '+' under where it states 'To hide an application when you log in etc etc.
From the window that opens you will now select your Vista machine from the left hand folders menu. when done click 'Add' and close windows to return to your desktop. Re-start the Macbook to check whether the Vista machine will now load to the Mac automatically at startup.
I hope this works for you as it has for me - The non discovery of the vista machine by the Mac was driving me round the bend

Wish to create network between PC and Mac

Hi, I wish to make a network between my iMac G5 and my PC running XP Pro. As soon as I plugged in the pc into my router I instantly got internet on my pc. So how do I make a network to exchange files, and share printers, and dvd drives. One of the things I want to do is use Popcorn 2 to burn a DVD but since I don't have a burner on my mac I want it to burn on my Windows PC (with the mac software).

Welcome to the discussions!
"I want it to burn on my Windows PC (with the mac software)."
You can't use the Mac's software to burn a DVD on your PC. You can create a disk image, then bring that over to your PC on the network and burn it on the PC, but that will require the software to be on the PC for that. I think that is what you meant anyway, but I wanted to make sure.
Networking your Mac and PC is really not that hard to do. The Apple guides are not as clear as they could be, so start with Joel Shoemaker and Felix. They have some excellent step by step instructions and are very easy to follow.
For printer sharing, you might also need third party, open source drivers. Depending on the connection - on the PC or the Mac - and the printer brand they can be found in any number of places.
Give those pages a look and if you have anything specific that comes up, be sure to post back here and we can walk you through it.

Windows network between 7 and 8?

I have been trying for a couple of hours to set up a home network
between a computer running 7 and one running 8. I looked online
to see what came up when I searched=
"Windows cannot set up a home network on this computer".
I found several responses saying 7 can only talk to 7.
Does anyone know if there is a way for 7 to talk to 8?

Hello squareorbit,
Do you mean that you want to use the Windows 7 and 8 to create and join a homegroup?
Do you use Windows 7 or Windows 8 to create the homegroup?
Based on my test, I can use the Windows 7 and Windows 8 in homegroup.
As you get the message ‘Windows cannot set up a home network on this computer’,
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Download and run the fix it wizard
2. Change your network location to Home network
3. Check if you start the service Peer Networking Grouping
and HomeGroup Provider
For more information, please take a look at the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows7/why-cant-i-create-a-homegroup
Please refer to the following article to create a HomeGroup in Windows 8.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows/homegroup-help#homegroup-start-to-finish=windows-81&v1h=win81tab2&v2h=win7tab1
Then you could make Windows 7 join the HomeGroup.

Networking between host and qemu imag for telnet

Hello.
I want to start doing test and learning a bit about networking.
But I only have a computer, and it doesn't have even hardware emulation, making the use of any modern distro as a virtual machine painfuly slow.
So I downloaded a floppy distro.. and I manage to get a virtual network card working. But there is no ping between host and guest. I can't Telnet neither, of course.
Qemu man page and google are confusing me a lot. It speack of redirecting ports.. no solution to that
I don t have firewall, as I don't have Internet at home.
What can i do now? :S
Thanks in advance

I think I must stop drinking so much cofee on the afternoon, lol
Thank you very much for adding my reply!

vladimir_1922, the moderators receiveived this report message from you:
Yes, I checked that too... No result.
Maybe it is an issue with /etc/rc.conf. Some months ago it changed on the format who manages the network. May it be outdated?
Obviously, you did inadvertently use the "Report" button to submit this.
But don't worry, this happens quite often.
I tough a bit about the problem, and followed the steps on the Gentoo Wiki for sharing a conection between two guests, and I found the same problem, but with the vbe module being unabaible. After a bit of rage, I realized two possible workarounds:
First thing, is that I compile my kernel. As I don't have KVM or Hardware emulation, I just don't compile any virtual machine module, to save memory. BUT, I do have the /dev/net/tun device who qemu can't recognice (yes, I tried to run qemu as root), so It seems that it is compiled after all
The second thing, is that I also stripped the daemons and services at bootup, as I don't have Internet, or othercomputers, I don't need most of them. Between the services I don't start at bootup is the netwprk daemon... but if i try to start it, all it does is delay the bootup for almost 2 minutes looking for a network :S
So, I'll just copy my /etc/rc.conf, where I just did the changes of the wiki. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe I lack something.
Any help will be must appreciated
