Need help in using my GPRS connection to surf internet on macbook

Hi,
I have a Nokia 9300 communicator, with a GPRS conenction. I want to use it to connect to the internet on my macbook. Since I am in India, my service provider, not having sufficient knowledge of the mac, cannot help me with configuring it.
can anyone hwlp me here?
i want to connect using bluetooth. Also, although I can connect the phone to the macbook via bluetooth and can trabsfer files to & fro, I cannot syncronise my phone book.
How do I go about doing that??
Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian, Thanks for that. I went to meet my service provider (Hutch) yesterday. What he told me is very close to yours. Here it is
First, when we have to make the new connection, there are 2 options - dial up or GPRS line. We tried GPRS line and set up as follows:
Username: Blank
Password:Blank
Number to dial 99**# or *99#
Here, the guy wants to know where we can enter the APN number - & I have no clue.
Second, using these settings, I got connected, the MB says it was authenticating user and my call also showed the "G" sign, but it went away after a second, giving me an error message - Could not negotiate connection with PPP server.
Just for curiousity sake, this guy tried his cell- a Nokia 6230. & it worked just fine. There was this problem, though, that every few seconds, the connectiion went off, giving the message that the modem had unexpectedly hung -up (& the poor guy's cell would switch off & on again on its own). But this is still distant for me.
I need your help in getting the modem script that you are talking about. I can only see 3 nokia modems- & they are all ir, none of them are for GPRS.
My problem is that there is no store or anything like that in India. I just bought the MB when in London recently, as it looked nice. Not very sure what to do now.
Awaiting more help

Use GPRS to connect to internet - WHERE DO I ENTER APN number

Hi,
i am in India, trying to use my GPRS phone (Nokia 9300) to connect to the internet via blue tooth.
My service provider says that he needs to know where I can enter the APN number details, without which I cannot connect.
Please help
Rajat

which service provider are your using Airtel/Hutch...
To connect to GPRS first make sure all your Handset settings are perfect (you can browse internet from your handset).
Turn on on the bluetooth on your handset, make it discoverable. Open the bluetooth item on the top bar (i dont know what is it called) on the Mac. Turn on bluetooth.. select set up bluetooth device from the same menu.. follow the instructions and you are done...
If you still have problems call your Mac dealer or AppleCare and they can sort this out for you... or leave your number here can i can call you...

Router won't "give" out the internet

(First thing's first: I'm using a Mac!) I gotten my Linksys router (WRT160N v3) just about set up completely. But it's not "giving out" the internet. The router looks and runs fine, and so does our modem, but I can't connect to the internet. System Preferences says everything's fine. Macs don't have any firewalls, so I know that isn't an issue. How can I connect? I've already set up the password and everything, and I can connect to the router with my laptop, yet I still can't connect to the internet on that, either. What do I do?!
Also, for some reason, Airport, FireWire, and Bluetooth PAN are all "Inactive". I can't turn them on or anything! Is this normal?

I am suddenly having what sounds like the same or similar problem with my WRT110 router on my Mac Powerbook G4. I can connect directly to my (Comcast) cable modem and get online (which is what I'm doing now), and I can connect to my router and my computer will talk to it, but I can't get through the router TO the internet either wired or wirelessly. When I go into Network Diagnostics, it shows me the "green lights" that indicate the Ethernet, Network, and ISP are all connected, but has the "red lights" for Internet and Server that indicate failure.
I've had the router for about a year, and it was working fine through last night. Tonight I got home from work and couldn't connect. At first I thought it was my cable modem - when I tried directly connecting to that with an ethernet cable, it was giving a self-assigned IP. So I restarted that, and it worked fine. But I still couldn't get connect through the router. I've tried everything - restarting all of the computer, the router, and the cable modem; updating the firmware; switching out the ethernet cables; and resetting the router and clearing all my saved settings. But I'm even having a problem with the actual router reset - when it reverts to "linksys," instead of being an unsecured connection it shows up as secure and prompts me for a password (which is never one that I know). I can connect to the router with the ethernet cable and get into and change the settings, at which point I can once again connect just fine to the router...but still not the actual internet.

3G and GPRS internet on MacBook Pro

I am currently using a G4 PowerBook together with a Vodafone 3G/GPRS data card for internet access. I am considering buying a new MacBook Pro but note that there is no PC slot so I would not be able to use my cellular internet access. Is there any solution for this? I would have thought that cellular internet access was a growing market and Apple seem to have excluded MacBook Pro users. Maybe they know something I don't--perhaps there will be an alternative way of connecting a datacard, perhaps via USB.

Most providers charge excessively for GPRS roaming. It can be up to 12 euros per Mb. It is worth asking your mobile phone company if they have a special subscription for overseas data roaming (usually for a small additional monthly subscription). Checking email on a phone and small amounts of web browsing involves very little download. Set your preferences so that attachments are not downloaded automatically. On my phone I have a 10Mb monthly data package for inland use and I haven't exceed it so far. Bear in mind, too, that there is usually a price difference between partner networks and non-partner networks. This is no problem when you are at home because your phone doesn't roam. Abroad, it goes for the strongest signal. So you need to find out the partner network and select it manually (for instance, if you are on Vodafone you find the foreign Vodafone network and lock on to it). The website usually gives you a list of partner networks.
However, if you are connecting to a PC or Mac for web access (especially with 3G which is six times faster than GPRS) you can face big bills. One of the biggest pitfalls is leave automatic software updating switched on. A typical update of, say, 30Mb could cost you over 300 euros abroad and the first you will know about it will be when you get your bill. Web access via GPRS/3G is scandalously expensive it is about time the mobile companies did something about it

My WRT110 Wireless router won't give me a connection to my DSL internet.

I am setting up a home network that includes 2 laptops, 1 DSl modem, 1 wireless (WRT110) router, and 1 printer. The DSl internet is brand new as well and i just got it working as far as for connecting to the internet using a ethernet cord. My next step was to add the wireless router into the mix and allow the laptops to go wireless. I complete the WRT110 wireless router setup wizard and it finishes with it saying i have complete. However, it won't give me the internet signal to where i can connect to the internet (i am still using all 1394 cords and haven't attempted to go wireless yet, figured i should get the connection working before i try to connect wireless). All the lights on the DSL modem are green and its acting like i have a good connection. All the lights on my new router are green (well blue since it is the new kind of router) but still no connection. On a side note, since the wizard was complete i just took a shot in the dark and tried to connect going wireless and both laptops recognize the wireless router and can get a perfect signlal from it. However, when i try and connect to the network it sets there for a long time trying to "aquire network address" then wont connect. I would appreciate any guidance anyone can give me. Thank you

Thank you Very much!
I just moved into a house where they have a router at one end of the house and I live down stairs at the other end of the house. I have my own ruoter so I hooked it up and I had a wireless connection but no internet. I have spent the last 3 days reading blogs on connecting 2 routers. Today I hit upon yours and you gave the IP address to get into the links page settings for the router. Every page tells you how to do what you say but non of them gave the IP address. Again THANK YOU FOR BEING SO KIND TO US NEWBE'S. Yes I was shouting that. I wish everyone would give answers not as though they are talking to someone knows what they are doing but spell it out as if we know nothing cause you never know who may be reading it in the feture.
Any how I now have internet on both routers Now my question is cause it's still a low connection. Is there a way to have one wireless router pick up a signle without a cat 6 cable?
I have my landlords Comcast Internet going to his WRT54G router.
His Router is routed with a 50' cat 9 cable to my WRT54G by the main door upstairs they are about 20' apart would like to move my ruoter down stairs, but the landlord does not want me to string wire downstiars from his router.
Where my question comes in can I connect one WRT54G wirelessly to the other?
I know simple answer is no!
But do you have a Hard answer of YES? I hope so!

How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling?

How do I setup my Time Capsule (3rd Generation) to be accessed from the internet while I'm traveling? It is installed on my home network behind my TWC broadband router.

Ok.. since the TWC modem is also a router.. all configuration takes place on this box.. NONE whatsoever takes place on the TC.
There is no airport utility 7.7.3 but there is a firmware of that number for the latest AC model TC..
Is it tall like this.
Then it is Gen5.
otherwise it will have a firmware.. 7.6.4 or earlier and the airport utility must be 6.3 or earlier.
Open the Airport utility and give us a screenshot of the summary page.
That will also help us determine that you have the TC, which version and how it is setup.
You might want to press the edit and also give us the Internet and Network tab as they should be set correctly as well.
I have created a DDNS through DYN.com although I am not sure how to implement this into the TC.
You do not do anything in the TC.. set it up in the Ubee router.
Port forward 548 to the TC in the Ubee router.
And make sure the TC has a static IP in the Ubee router.
Overall if you find this too hard I strongly recommend you buy a product designed for remote access .. eg WD MyCloud.. they are cheap and easy peasy to setup for remote access.. by PC or Mac and since it is built outside of Apple you not bound up in Apple limitations built into all their equipment to prevent you using it the way you want.. rather than apple want you too.. eg BTMM and iCloud being the only way apple provide for access to the TC and only when it is the main router of the network.
You are fighting hard because Apple made this hard.. not easy.

Just bought a macbook and can't connect to the internet. very frustrating

i can't connect through my wireless router. it reads it but can't connect. my brothers hp laptop connects to it and works. i brought it to work and tried to connect to the router at work but it failed again. but my bro's hp just reads it right away. i need some help please.

Hi,
The same happened to me, but here's a fix.
If it is password encrypted, when you first turn on your macbook, and they give you the internet connection list, Click on advance, and select "This computer does not connect to the internet" Then everything will finish installing.
Now when you see the wireless symbol on top of your screen (right next to the blue tooth) select Airport ON if it isn't enabled. Then connect to your wireless router, and when it asks for the password, click on the internet password type, and select the "Wireless WEP 12/48 key...or something like that" and it should connect. That is what I did to my macbook and it worked

[SOLVED-partly] Linux and no internet connection

Well, since mid November I have nothing but problems with my Arch Linux machine. I can't get any internet connection on that machine. I have a network at home with 2 windows machines (XP & Vista), a Windows 2003 server running as an Exchange server and DNS server and Domain controller and ps3, xbox 360 and Wii. The two windows machines run on a static IP, the ps3, xbox 360 and Wii run on dhcp. All machines run on LAN through a switch except the Wii it runs on wireless. Now my Arch Linux machine also runs on static IP set up as described in the installation guide via rc.conf, hosts and resolv.conf. As mentioned earlier since mid November I haven't been able to get any internet connection on that machine. I haven't changed anythnig in my setup on the machine or the network. when i start the machine for the first time during a day I actually do the get internet connection and network connection but if I restart then I lose it. I am not able to ping the gateway or the DNS server. I can get interrnet back again I turn off the machine and turn off the motherboard and let the machine cool off for 20 minutes. Then if I turn it on again I have internet again but if i'll have to restart then the problem reappears.
After two weeks with this issue I decided to get network card but that didn't help either I still had the problem. Then I simply bought a new machine (DELL Studio) and did a fresh installation of Arch and STILL the problem exists and it is driving me FREAKING CRAZY NOW!!! I tried to my machine on dhcp but still the same issue. internet on first boot, reboot no internet or network, shutdown machine and motherboard (unplug machine) --> internet again after waiting 20 minutes. None of my other machines running windows or the consoles have problems getting internet. I've tried to run distros on the machines (Ubuntu Live CD) but I have the same problem. I am very close to going back to windows and I REALLY don't want to (been using Linux since 2003) but this problem here is a show stopper/EPIC FAIL. I am very very happy with Arch Linux and really don't want to change distro either. I need suggestions now on what I can look for in order to find the problem. I've already changed network cards, bought a new machine and even bought new switch because we thought it might be the switch causing the problems (8 port switch) because turning off the switch would give me my internet back. Again it is only my Linux machine that is having the connection problems none of the other machines have those.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Kind Regards
André

Well, I celebrated a bit to fast after 30 minutes or so I lost internet connection but not by restarting. I didn't use the computer for like 30 minutes and when I did tried to open a browser nothing happended. I tried then to ping the gateway and the server but couldn't reach them. So I turned off the computer completely for 20 minutes and then I started again and chenged the DNS address from my server to the DNS addresses I get directly from my ISP. So I'm going around the server now and seems to work for now. This morning I could start the machine and restart it 2 times and every time I had internet. Hope this solves it for now, still don't understand what the problem is though.

Question about internet security...please help!

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the macbook's internet security.
A few days ago I became aware that my sibling was using a laptop for internet use at my house which he got from a person that I do not trust. He is very computer-savy and we're worried that he may have installed some form of spy ware on that laptop and in turn, may have tried (or succeeded) in accessing my Macbook through some form of spyware. My house is hooked up with a D-Link wireless router, and at the time, it had no internet/access-password.
So my question is, could this person have accessed my computer and personal information remotely by and through the laptop that my sibling got from him. I was under the impression that Mac's have very strong firewalls, but I have also heard that as long as he knew what he was doing, he could have accessed my computer. I don't have a wireless "network" set up at my house, I just simply use the router for internet. But my sibling told me that this guy was his "network administrator" which leads me to believe that he must have had remote access to the laptop.
Can anyone with knowledge on this problem please weigh in and let me know what I need to do to confirm that no one has accessed anything from my macbook.
Thanks!

One option if you want to be extra safe is turning on FileVault (System Preferences -> Security), which will encrypt everything on your computer so that if somehow someone does gain access to your computer they will have a next to zero chance of being able to read anything they get from your computer. You have to have a lot of extra hard drive space on your computer to turn it on though.
Also, a "network" is just a connection between computers, regardless of the internet is involved or not. So when you connect your computer to the router which gives you the internet, you are putting your computer on a network. Now I believe that in order for this person whom you don't trust to gain remote access to your computer, they would have to have more information such as an IP address for your computer, through the router in order to get to it.
One thing I think is very important to consider that isn't on the technical side of things is something called "Social Engineering" which is a form of cracking, or hacking. You can do your own research, but in a nutshell Social Engineering is getting people that have access to something I'm trying to hack to give me information. For instance, this person you don't trust could be giving your brother the computer in the hopes that he will download something through your router to that laptop which could give him IP addresses and other information. And then when he gets that laptop back he could scan it for useful information and your brother wouldn't know he did anything wrong at all. The best way to avoid this is purely education and communication. Even if your brother doesn't share the same suspicions about this person, surely he will understand the need to be careful and smart when it comes to sharing personal information in the digital world.

Guest Internet Access

Hi
Looking for input on Guest Vlan subject.
How can I avoid routing of Guess VLAN traffic to DATA VLAN, any traffic from Guest VLAN should be routed to Internet directly.
Looking for similar setup as in Hotels, Guest are provided with username/password with time duration to access internet and limit the download speed.
Do I need to create another SSID on the WLC and how the guest users will acquire ip, from WLC DHCP or Windows DHCP.
If its Windows DHCP then Guest traffic reaches my Data VLAN
Any Help

We got WLC 4420 ----- Do you mean a 4402-xx
AP 1200 series ( 5 in quantity )
I am new to WLC, can you help me to understand
How many SSID we can configure on WLC, does each ssid can have different config parameters.
The AP's and the Code you might have will only support 8-16. You don't want to configure too many (best practice is around 4) because of all the beacons that needs to be sent might cause issues with certain devices. You can configure eash ssid the same of different, it is up to you. Follow best practices on this.
can we broadcast specific SSID on AP configured with WLC ( AP#1 can be used for SSID DATA & SSID Guest ) ( AP#2 can be SSID Guest & SSID Partners )
You can create WLAN Override (depends on code - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a00807669af.shtml) to specify what AP's will braodcast what SSID's. This can be messy if you have gaps for roaming, unless that is not an issues.
For Guest SSID is it recommended to connect to a seprate port on WLC
You have different options:
You can use a guest anchor controller in you DMZ
You can use one port on the WLC connected to your internal network and the other port to the DMZ
You can trunk vlans and use ACL's to block guest traffic from inside networks.
All this depends on you current infrastructure and if you plan on buying more equipment or use the existing.
Instead of creating Guest Users on WLC with time restriction, can this be done third party with ease of management. ( Office secretary can give access to internet to guest )
You can use a NAC Guest Server... if you want to spend a lot of money. You can configure a Lobby Admin account on the WLC so that the secretary has only read/write to add guest accounts. This would be the same if you have WCS with a lobby admin account.

Any configuration sample link with one Internet connection having DATA and Guest VLAN using ACL to restrict the traffic.
I put some links above... hope this helps. Again, it will come down to your existing environment and how much more you want to spend. You also have to look at the time it might take to setup, will the secertary want to do this, etc? How I see guest access..... well.... they go out a seperate internet pipe, so I don't really care about bandwidth. Its guests so they would have to deal with that anywhere the go, even hotspost or even worse hotels:) Make it simple and make it work... then you can add to that later when you get more familiar to configuration and troubleshooting.

How do I connect my airport Express to the internet connection of my Macbook Pro without an ethernet cable?

I would like to use my Airport Express (802.11n) to provide audio in another room for a pair of powered speakers, however the iTunes remote software for Android requires (for some dumb reason) an internet connection so I can't control iTunes
So my computer is connected to a cabelmodem via ethernet and the Express has established a network connection with the computer
How do i give the Airport internet access without an ethernet cable?

To share your Internet connection from your laptop, select 'Sharing' in 'System Preferences' and enable 'Internet Sharing'.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13855
You will need to set a WEP key. You may need to root the system do some things at the command line. I recommend against that.
Laptops don't work well as routers but it is possible.
Hook up the AirPort express to the laptop using an Ethernet cable and configure with the AirPort utility as if you are setting up a print server or base station. The Android should see the AirPort Express after that.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4587
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2312443
This might work better if you used the AirPort Express as a base station instead of trying to use the laptop as a base station. Then your Android would have Internet access.
