Getting Internet Outside Wi-Fi Range (BBPB)
Hi, I was thinking of buying a blackberry playbook, however I was wondering how could I connect without Wi-Fi connectivity?
I'm aware of blackberry bridge, but as far as I'm aware that only works in browser, what if I would like to use other apps that use internet too? My BlackBerry is BlackBerry Bold 9780 on O2 - UK.
Also - I'm aware that a 4G version is coming to Canada on August 9th, however, for someone who uses internet through their phone like me, would this be needed?

I beg to differ JSANDERS, but I know for sure that Magellan Compass 3.12 is working using only the bridge,
Are you certain that Magellen Compass is using "data"? The Playbook itself has GPS built-in, which doesn't require data.

No Internet outside on Curve 8520
I can't get internet outside of our home wifi range. I used to be able to get it then we deleted bbm and I couldn't use internet anywhere. Managed to get internet at home but still can't get it outside, where I use it most.
Deleting BBM also deletes internet if your phone is on contract, with some phones. I suggest you ask someone in a store. They will be able to help you.

When connecting, wired, to my router from my ISP I get speeds in the 90mbps range. Then when connecting, wired, to my Airport Extreme I get speeds of 10mbps. Wirelessly I get download speeds of 6mbps on my laptops and only 1mbs with my Ipad3. I am making sure only one device is sharing the network to make sure to get accurate results. Why are things so slow?
Hi Ty,
First, check with you ISP to see what speed they've promised. In my case, they indicated that the speed should be greater than 50 Mbps. If they say that it should be significantly higher than what your getting, then try the following if you're using Airport Utility v.6.:
1. Open the Airport Utility (Desktop: Command+Shift+U to open Utility Folder, select Airport Utility)
2. Click on the visual representation of the Airport Extreme and then select "Edit" (bottom right corner)
3. When the window opens (to a tab "Base Station"), click on the "Wireless" tab,
-it should have the following options: Network Mode, Wireless Network Name, Wireless Security, Wireless Password, Verify Password, a checkbox with "Enable Guest Network", and a button "Wireless Options..."]
4. Select "Wireless Options", which should open another window with the following options:
5Ghz network name, Country, a checkbox with "Create hidden Network", Radio Mode, 2.4 GHz Channel, and 5 GHz Channel [both of which can stay on "Automatic"]
5. Clicking on "Radio Mode" will bring up a list in which the las option should read:
802.11n only (5Ghz) - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz)
Once you click "Save", your router will blink amber for a little while and then it should work.
Hope this helps. Let me know if it does/doesn't.

p.s. I apologize if the directions were excessively explicit, but I was thinking about my 73 year-old mother trying to follow them, so I erred on the side of making them more understandable. Good luck. -
Cannot get internet to work over a mobile modem!
Hello. I'd like to use my Samsung A401 Telstra Mobile for wireless internet access when I'm away with my iBook. I so far have tested my phone working with the Samsung drivers on Windows XP, with built in UTMS/GPRS support on Ubuntu x86 and recently Ubuntu PPC on a friends IBook G4.
But I can't get the connection to work with OSX 10.4.11 on my iBook!
I also had a chance to test Mac OSX 10.5 PPC on my friends iBook G4. 10.5 knows about GPRS modems but it was no better than my 10.4. It still didn't work. Acted exactly the same.
What happens is that OSX gets the IP addresses but no internet! It's totally bizarre to be connected online but still have no internet! :-?
When I plug the mobile in through a USB data cable it detects it as a USB modem so no driver problems there. I did some net research and found some 3G Mac modem scripts on Ross Barkman's site and also came across a Samsung t509 Tmo script somewhere else. I am using the Generic 3G script.
As an example here are the IP addresses I get. From console PPP log:
Thu May 20 17:45:04 2010 : ipcp: up
Thu May 20 17:45:04 2010 : local IP address 10.222.32.153
Thu May 20 17:45:04 2010 : remote IP address 10.222.32.0
Thu May 20 17:45:04 2010 : primary DNS address 139.130.4.4
Thu May 20 17:45:04 2010 : secondary DNS address 203.50.2.71
From ifconfig:
ppp0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.222.32.153 --> 10.222.32.0 netmask 0xff000000
If I didn't know any better I'd say the mobile had given me an IP address from it's DHCP server and forgot to "NAT" it to the outside world. As you can see they are strange and in the old 10.x.x.x local range.
However they are correct as that's just the sort of IP addresses Windows and Ubuntu reported. But what are they doing that OSX is not? This has really been driving me nuts! I know mobile modems can work in OSX!
If I try to ping any of the IP addresses they are all dead. Even the local IP allocated one. I also notice in the Connect window that OSX is sending data out but not receiving any in. OTOH on OSX 10.5 I did see some data come back at the start. But still the outside world could not be reached.
Has anyone got any clues? I really want to use OSX for mobile internet. I'd rather not be forced to install Linux on my iBook just to get internet working! :-oBDAqua wrote:
I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, never even having touched a Cell Phone yet!
Really! Not even an iPhone? :-o
In Network prefs, along with the strange IP, does it have a reasonable IP for the Server also?
It doesn't IMHO. The local IP is okay but this is a strange pair:
10.172.190.107
10.172.190.0
The netmask making it even stranger:
255.0.0.0
It's whacked!
Did you use Internet Connect to setup the Dialing & Login?
Actually no, well not exactly. I used the Network pane to set up the connection. Then told that to dial which brought up Connect for me that does the dialling.
The dialling in is strange, as it's based on the fake number *99# which makes the connection to the mobile broadband, and then uses PPP over the serial link (USB in my case) for the TCP/IP link up. My user and pass remain blank but I need to specify my APN (Access Point Name) in the number string. This seems to be a pseudo-standard among mobile/GPRS/UTMS modem scripts.
Having a blank user and pass makes it hard to set it up using the Assistant.
Does having Console open when trying to get a URL show any clues?
I can't see anything that stands out. It all seems to go well. But I did notice lately that the Mac recorded sending IP data. Didn't see that logged before. But I was playing with the PPP settings and seeing if manual worked. BTW why can't I specify netmask and router in manual PPP setting? I did have to pull my phone out to disconnect since it ignores the hang up command and my Mac complains about a removed USB device.
On that note, have a log:

Fri Jun 4 18:40:47 2010 : disconnect script failed -
I need to get internet to both the house and my office, which is in a separate building approx 20m from the house. I was advised by Apple to buy an Airport Express, set it up on one or other building, and connect wirelessly to the other. Tried that, but couldn't get a reliable signal.
I was then advised to buy another Airport Express and use it as an expander in the other building. Trouble is, i can't get a reliable wireless signal between the two Expresses, so it keeps dropping the connection, and is slow when it is connected.
I rang Apple again and was told that i could try a third Airport Express between the two existing ones, but that is impossible as there is only outdoors between the two.
It would be very difficult and expensive to get an ethernet cable between the two buildings (have to cut through concrete etc), and I see from the discussion forums that an Airport Extreme has the same wireless signal as an Express, so replacing one of the Expresses with an Extreme seems unlikely to resolve the problem. Can anyone think of any other options?The Powerline adapters mentioned by edex67 are your only hope if you cannot run an Ethernet cable.
Even if the home and office are on the same electrical circuit, you won't really know how well the Powerline adapters might work until you actually try them out at your location.
For that reason, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy. -
Do i need to get internet service with an internet provider?
Do i need to get internet service with an internet provider to use airport extreme or airport express?
Well, either that, or you could simply use your extreme or express to "borrow" your neighbour's WEP encrypted WiFi network..
OH wait.. I think I got you. Are you asking if you can use the bases for just a Lan and no outside connection? You can use them without the internet. It's just an option. -
my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

I Can't access Internet outside of my house??
As the title says, I am having trouble accessing Internet outside of the house on my Ipod and Laptop. Both work great in the house, I have signed up to BTFON as I have the unlimited broadband package and have free access to btfon and bt openzone. I just cant get them up and running as I would mostly use Internet on my ipod when out and about. I can access internet via BTFON while in my house?? cant access internet with bt openzone anywhere??
How do I set up my laptop/ipod to gain access to Internet when out??
Thanks for you time
JohnYou need to log into FON or Openzone using your bt email address and its password to gain access

Problem with not getting Internet Connect on AirPort Express
Problem with not getting Internet Connect on AirPort Express (version7.6.4). Error says cannot get valid IP address. Have reset Siemens SpeedStream 4100 several time, even with tech support from the big "A" DSL provider. Plug MacBook Pro directly into modem and works fine. Unplugged AirPort, even reset it, still no luck. A bad Express?? or am not looking in the right place to make connection. Was working fine up until Sunday.
Connect the AirPort Express (AX) to the cable modem via Ethernet cable.
In configuring the AX using AirPort Utility:
Under Internet, set the connection to be Ethernet using DHCP.
Under Connection Sharing, set it to distribute a range of IP addresses.
Under AirPort>Wireless, set the Wireless Mode to Create a wireless network, and fill in the remaining settings in the same window. Until you get it working, you might want to set Wireless Security to None. -
IP address outside TC DHCP range
Hi. I want to set my Powerbook IP wireless IP address outside the DHCP range of my Time Capsule. can anyone tell me what the default DHCP IP address range of the Time Capsule is??
Thanks .... TC*"I want to set my Powerbook IP wireless IP address outside the DHCP range of my Time Capsule"*
Then start your DHCP addressing at an address ending in .5 or greater and assign yourself an IP address ending in .2 .3 or .4.
*"can anyone tell me what the default DHCP IP address range of the Time Capsule is??"*
You can find all this out using the Airport Utility application under Internet --> DHCP -
Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3." -
Iphone 3G would take connection from modem yet NOT get internet?
I find this VERY odd. I've used a iphone with a linksys wireless modem. Now it's funny because I came to the apple store to get my iphone 3G's battery replaced but of course, I just got a brand new iphone instead .
Of course, I did try the wifi since my service was off from AT&T at the moment at my friend's house which worked perfectly fine.
However, as I just came home right now, I connected to my home's wireless internet that DOES work with my labtop. But for some reason, my iphone says it doesn't get internet for anything just saying "Safari Cannot open the page because it's not connected to the internet" for example when I use Safari.
Now I reseted everything over and over again and nothing works. And I noticed that it only has the IP Address and Subnet mask in the settings of the network....can anyone help?Wow I am feeling stupid by how simple that was. I should've done that as well since it worked.
Thank you very much my fellow new yorker! (Although I lived in miami most of my life)

Unable to get the Text proerty of Range class
Hi,
I am using the Text property of Range class for excel template development using VSTO.While reloading the template i am getting the error "Unable to get the Text proerty of Range class".If i skip this line of code,i am getting similar kind of errors while accessing the properties of Range class(like Range.copy() ,Range.Locked, Range.EntireRow.Hidden).In all these cases i am getting the similar kind of error "unable to get the property of Range Class".
Waiting for a quick response...
Thanks in advance..Hi Besse,
Actully, the error is coming when i try to populate datatable with the the range values in one of the sheet.
I am using the below code.
//"wsInteropMetadata" is the sheet object.
//"RangeName" is the range name in the sheet.
rngConfig = wsInteropMetadata.get_Range("RangeName", Type.Missing);
for (int iRow = 1; iRow <= iRowCnt; iRow++)
dRNew = dTMetadataTable.NewRow();
for (int iCol = 1; iCol <= iColCnt; iCol++)
rngCell = (Excel.Range)rngConfig.Cells[iRow, iCol];
dRNew[iCol - 1] = rngCell.Text.ToString();
dTMetadataTable.Rows.Add(dRNew);
In the first load of the template,this code is working fine.In the reload i am getting the error at "rngCell.Text".If i see in quickwatch,most of the properties of "rngCell" object are throwing "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException".See the below exception information.
Exception Information
Exception Type: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
Message: Unable to get the Text property of the Range class
Source: Microsoft Office Excel
ErrorCode: -2146827284
Thanks

How do I get Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro?
I need to get on a website for work and it can only be run through internet explorer. Trust me, I know this *****, but I don't know how to get around it. So I need to find a way to get Internet Explorer on my Macbook Pro.
You run it through Windows or CrossOver Mac. The Mac OS X version of Windows Explorer doesn't work in 10.7 and won't be updated to do so or patch security holes.
