Generally questions about Wireless connection

I have a Toshiba notebook, and it has wireless lan card. It pops up says it has found a connection, then it says to connect but when I connect and its finding the connection it pops up and asks for a network key?
What is this?
It also comes with blue tooth.
Any help on this please!

Hello crazyanimal,
it seems like you are trying to connect to your neighbours wireless network.
Networks usualy are protected by a personal code (passphrase) to prevent the FREE use by unauthorized people.
If you want, you can also go and buy a wireless device for your home and start to explore the internet or your other
computer wireless.
I am sure you will enjoy the wireless experience this way.

  • Question about wireless connectivity...

    Where exactly in the Verizon contract, or Terms of Service does it state that wireless connectivity is NOT guaranteed as solid connectivity, nor are provisioned speeds while wireless as well? Would be a wonderful thing to have proof of just in case, if you get my drift.
    Solved!

    It's there in the TOS;  but finding you the exact paragraphs and lines is not productive.
    A brief amount of research would provide:
    >that the fastest most common in recent years wireless throughput is 54Mbps (wireless G) which is only at half the speed of a wired connection.
      yes, one might be able to receive 108Mbps, but what that actually is is (2) 54 Mb streams hitting you at the same time.  Your 'receiving' equipment must   
            be  capable  (neither the 2 streams nor the receiving quipment is provided by your ISP)
      yes wireless N is out, but one usually has to purchase own equipment for that (not provided by Verizon) (or any other ISP that I am aware of)
     >As has already been mentioned by posters before me, the various things that can possibly affect your wireless reception include everything electronic in your immediate area AND ALSO any of your neighbor's electronics if you share a common wall
    >even the computer you are trying to use, in too many ways, can affect your wireless reception
    SO there is really no way anybody could guarantee wireless

  • General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

    Hello to everyone,
    I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
    Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
    Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
    At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
    Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
    Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
    Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
    If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

  • Newbie question - general question about e-mail sync

    Hi,
    I have a general question about email sync and BlackBerry smartphones.  Are there any devices that allow email syncing with a Microsoft Exchange 2007 system that do not require the BlackBerry Enterprise server?
    Thanks; sorry if this has been asked before but I was unable to find it in the forums, documentation, etc.  Everything I found assumes that for this kind of environment you will be using a BlackBerry Enterprise solution, but I can't assume.
    Thanks again.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    If the Exchange server has anything that faces the internet (OWA, POP, IMAP), then BIS can be used to handle email (only email...calendar and contacts require BES to sync OTA).
    Or, a PC, inside the network (but with an internet path) and logged into the email server (using Outlook), can be left running, using the RIM Desktop Software's Desktop Redirector capability to forward  messages to the BB.
    Those are basically the options.
    Hope that helps! Let us know!

  • General Question about SAP Documentation. Where to find?

    Hello,
    I am relatively new in the SAP business and so I have some general questions about the SAP Documentation.
    Often internet-links like
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/FIBP/FI-AP-AP-PT.pdf
    are posted here by group members.
    But where do these group members find these documents?
    All I can see at help.sap.com is IDES (the model company created by SAP)and the WWW-version of the SAP-Bibliothek.
    Were can I find these PDF-Files?
    I would appreciate any hint and tip!
    Thank you!

  • WiSM Switch - Questions about Client Connections

    Hello!
    i?m planning a worst case scenario for a customer site. They got a couple of 6500?s with WiSM Modules installed. Now I?m sitting over a instruction of what to do when a WiSM breaks down and I got a few questions regarding the clients.
    In the case a Controller stops responding, the AP?s are automatically switched to the secondary Controllers. What happens when the Primary Controller returns - they automatically switch back, right? Is this automatic switch combined with a loss of wireless connectivity? (LWAPP tunnel gets torn down, and a new LWAPP connection must be established - that is basically the same if I restarted the AP, isn?t it? ) If so, how long does it take for the connectivity to return? Is it possible to manually do the switch to a later time (late in the evening..) to minimize the effects for the clients? The Goal is to keep the clients up and running, without termination of the wireless connection - if this is possible.

    Also, after checking my WLC's Controller->General config screen, you will find a parameter called "AP Fallback".
    It can be either "Enabled" or "disabled" and determines whether or not an access point that lost a primary controller connection automatically returns to service when the primary controller becomes functional again.
    I suppose that if you set this parameter to "Disabled" in the secondary controller, before activating the repaired/replaced primary controller that this would also accomplish what you want.
    It is not clear if the same setting would also need to be applied to the primary controller. You may need to test this aspect first to be sure.
    Presumably, you could then re-enable "AP fallback" when you are ready to force the LWAPs back to the primary.
    I hope this helps,
    - John

  • Asking general questions about 'computing' matters.

    Hello
    I'm new to the Mac world - I posted my first question on the forums today!
    I have reviewed the discussions site - everything seems very specific to apple products. Where, if anywhere, could I post a general question - like this one:-
    I have a notion that when one connects to a server directly (Usenet newsgroups for example) one makes a deliberate 'hole' in one's firewall, be it software or simply because one is using a NAT router. Sending messages to and receiving posts from Usenet is far quicker than using email, so I'm fairly confident that this is so.
    I am well aware that any URL one visits can instantly determine much information about the connecting machine. (see http://www.browserreport.com/ as an example).
    Anti-malware programs can only detect known viruses and spyware - I see no reason at all why, once one has granted a direct connection facility, between a group on a private server to
    one's own machine, malware could not relatively simply be injected onto one's computer.
    If the malware was currently unknown, how would one ever know?
    Thanks in anticipation of a helpful response

    Excellent!

    Unfortunately, not in this forum. This forum is specifically about the discussion forum itself. It is kind of like a meta-forum. Hopefully, the moderators will just move your post somewhere more appropriate. (As indeed they just did!)

    Kind of and kind of not. Firewalls are greatly misunderstood. But essentially, yes, any internet connection you establish has some risk involved. However, the risk of making an outgoing connection is infinitesimally smaller than setting up a server to let hackers bang on 24x7.
    Sending messages to and receiving posts from Usenet is far quicker than using email, so I'm fairly confident that this is so.
    Really? I don't think so.
    I am well aware that any URL one visits can instantly determine much information about the connecting machine. (see http://www.browserreport.com/ as an example).
    Not really. It depends on what you are doing. You always give away your IP address, unless you are behind a proxy. In that case, you give away the proxy's IP address. But the proxy still knows who you really are.
    If the protocol in question supports such information, then it can be determined. A web browser does send some information about you, but you can easily change it and masquerade as some other browser. With other protocols, it isn't so easy to tell what kind of OS or software is being used.
    Anti-malware programs can only detect known viruses and spyware - I see no reason at all why, once one has granted a direct connection facility, between a group on a private server to
    one's own machine, malware could not relatively simply be injected onto one's computer.
    If the malware was currently unknown, how would one ever know?
    You wouldn't
    Don't grant anyone direct connection to your machine.

  • General Questions about BI

    Hello,
    I want to get into SAP BI and have some questions about it.
    Is there a big downside in installing only the BI components without the Java BI components, or is it even possible if you want to work with BI. What are the general differences between BI and Java BI?
    I think the main aspects i will work with will be data warehousing and some basic reporting.
    The reason why i'm asking is that i want to run the BI components in the same system as the ECC Server (its just a test system). I read that the Java BI component needs EPC and EP and that would probably be too much for a single system (6 GB RAM).
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Martin

    Thanks for your hints, they were really helpful.
    As i mentioned i mainly want to work with the general Data Warehouse and Reporting capabilities, so i think it should be okay.
    Actually i'm planing to write about BI and SAP within my master thesis.
    Another question, what will be with SAP BI in the future regarding the Business Object acquisition? Is there still any point in learning SAP BI or will SAP BI disapear in the future? I heard that the basic BI functionality (e.g. Datawarehouse ) will still be used but the reporting capabilities  would be disappear. I'm not sure if that is right and i'm really new to this topic. So any comments are welcome.
    Thanks,
    Martin

  • Uk Mac user. Questions about internet connection please!

    I own a Mac G4 800 Mhz tower.
    At present connect to the internet via ethernet to router.
    The past few days it has been running very slowly.
    Checked the Netgear router page where it states the incoming strength is approx 4MB.
    *+What can be done to help utillise the incoming speed please?+*
    *+What do I need to make the G4 cable free please?+*
    *+Is there a 3rd party version of the Airport card (if that is needed) please?+*
    Any help and advice gratefully received!

    What can be done to help utillise the incoming speed please?
    That depends where the slowdown is. The quickest way to cut this problem down to size is to find an Interactive Internet Speed Test online, and run it.
    If the measured speed (which is essentially download speed) is way too slow -- you need to complain to your ISP about it, and follow their suggestions.
    If the measured speed is reasonable, but your perception is that it is too slow, post information about what situations, using what browsers, are the worst offenders, and readers will take a run at advising you.
    I suggest you start a different thread with your inquiry about wireless equipment.

  • Audigy 2 ZS: questions about TAD connect

    BigBen,
    I'll answer your questions here point by point (for clarity).
    ) No, that won't be possible. A line input is only stereo, so all you'll receive signal-wise is just a stereo stream. You'll need a coaxial or optical input to get that signal to the card (only available on the Platinum dri'ves).
    2) In theory that could work, yes, the connections are there. That isn't something we would have tested (or support), though.

  • General question about Mountain Lion

    I've kept clear of Lion on both my MACS because of all the "bad press" it got, I'm still running Snow Leopard on my MACS and I've never had a day of problems with either. Also I run Logic Studios on both my MACS and didn't want to chance having issues with interface compatability, lack of drivers and such. My question is kind of simple and for better or worse comes down to opinion, what is the general feeling about Mountain Lion? Is it a big improvement over Lion? Is it more stable with less bugs? Any issues running Logic? I'm "playing with the idea" of upgrading but I want to do my research first. If Mountain Lion is not a big improvement over Lion or if people are having issues with running Logic I'm going to stick with SL.
    Thanks for your opinions in advance.

    Be cautious about listening too much to replies you're likely to get. These sort of questions in a place like this are like magnets to people who are having problems and want to complain about it. You're likely to hear some horror stories that don't represent the majority of cases.
    ML has been excellent so far for me, faster than Lion and no serious bugs I've discovered so far. But if you upgrade, be sure to do your homework: backup, check compatibility of all your software (including things like printer drivers) and repair the hard drive with Disk Utility before installing.

  • Question about router connections

    Does a wireless router need to be connected to an external modem?  My modem is essentially a card in a box on the outside of my house, so connecting to it, other than through a wall outlet, is pretty much out of the question. 
    My connection goes from wall outlet directly to the ethernet port on my pc...am I even able to connect a wireless router?

    The wire that runs from your modem outside, to the outlet on your wall, apparently allows you to connect directly to your modem.
    Probably you can simply run a wire from your wall outlet to a wireless router.  However, before investing in a wireless router, I would suggest that you verify that this setup will work with your ISP (internet service provider).  Also, check your ISP's web site.  They have probably already posted directions on how to set up wireless with their system.

  • General questions about using webservices and xml as opposed to an oracle driver

    Dear Experts; I have a general question which I have yet to test. Is it faster to use an ODBC driver to connect and retrieve data from an Oracle database than creating a .net webservices and using an XML to get the data for your web application. THank you

    At some point in the architecture stack some component will need to access the database in order to get the information from the database. That component will need to use an Oracle client driver.

  • Looking to buy, but questions about wireless

    I am hoping to buy a macbook very soon, but I have some questions about the wireless. I have heard that you can only use an apple router for the wireless, but already have a regular Linksys router. Is this going to be a problem?

    I have been using a Linksys with Macs for two years and never had a problem.

  • Buying a Macbook, question about wireless internet

    Hi everyone, I'm soon going to purchase a Macbook, just the $999 one. I have it for school and living in my apartment. Soon we're going to get a wireless ISP, not sure who we're going with yet. However my roommates also have laptops, not macs though. they have a toshiba and a netbook. My one roommate has a few wireless routers. I think one is Linksys, not sure what the others are. Just wondering how well my Macbook will link up to wireless routers that aren't the "airport" routers.
    I just remember having trouble trying to get my iMac hooked up to wireless internet a few years back. We tried using a Linksys then. My iMac's OS is version 10.4.11, fyi. I think the real trouble was that I'm not very knowledgeable at all when it comes to networking, haha.

    This. We have a Mac Mini (no wireless - connected via ethernet), an eMac (same), a MacBook (connected both wirelessly and via ethernet) and a MacBook Pro (same).
    All use the same D-Link wireless router.
    And when I was using the MacBook (just got the MB Pro today, so...), I never had a problem connecting to networks in airports (the kind with planes, not Airport routers, LOL), coffee shops, universities, etc..
    tl;dr: You shouldn't have a problem!
