Home network access from Iphone 4S

I have a new Ipone 4S.  It recognises my home network but I get error message " Unable to join the network".   When viewing networks mine has the small padlock beside it.   It does not ask for a password?   Any ideas please...   Jeff

Hi Jeff
First of all try this
Unplug the modem,
wait 30 seconds,
plug it back in,
go to the iPhone settings and select general and then network settings and Reset the network settings,
Restart the iPhone and try to connect again, putting in your password when asked
If this does not work then we'll need some more information like
1) What else uses your home network?
2) What encryption do you have 64 bit / 128 bit etc
3) What have you tried (for ruling out purposes)
4) What router do you have?
5) Go to iphone settings, wi-fi, select the blue arrow next to your network, what does each section say?
Thanks
Craig

  • Can I share home made videos from iPhone or other devices to the MAC with iCloud. Some places say yes others no.

    Is there a way to share videos (home made or from iPhone) with other devices through iCloud or Photostream? I have an iPhone 4 but "movies" made with the phone do not show in Photostream. I have iCloud downloaded to my PC and viseos in the upload folder but don't see where it shows on my iPhone or Mac notebook.

    No, you will need to connect the phone to your PC with a USB cable to transfer video to your PC.

  • Unable to transfer home screens setting from iPhone to iTunes

    I refreshed my PC. Installed itunes and connected my iPhone ? However the home screen setting on my iPhone is not syncing into itunes (screenshot 1). When I check on the Sync Apps checkbox, the factory setting home screen comes up (screenshot 2). Please let me know how I can transfer the home screen setting from iPhone to iTunes.

    That is because you are establishing a new sync relationship with a new library. You're going to have to re-build your home screen(s) from scratch.

  • IPad loses home network settings from time to time

    IPad 2 loses home wireless Internet from time even though settings still indicate connected...I just click forget this network and sign in with pass word and it connects ok.  Is there a setting to keep IPad from disconnecting from home network while I am in the house?

    Try #5.
    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

  • Why can I connect to my home network with my iPhone 5 in one room, but when I move to another it is 'unable to connect to the network'

    At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
    As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
    If I move back downstairs it reconnects
    This has only started happening in the past week or so
    I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
    I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

    Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded.  Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
    Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers?

  • Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

    We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

    Well this is a little tricky.   You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want.  If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
    That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
    Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab.  Now you can set security.
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

  • BT home hub access from outside LAN

    I have set up my home hub so that I can access my Nas from outside my LAN, this works fine.
    My problem is I need to access my home hub settings and set up proxy settings so that I can access BBC iplayer etc as I am abroad for the next few weeks and I forgot to do it before I left.
    Whenever I try to connect to the hub I go straight to the Nas
    How can I get to the home hub without being at home to change the settings ?

    I had the same problem, using Firefox. My home network was working fine until BT installed a new homehub and it took a little while for me to discover the problem: an IP Address conflict. My previous Router used the stanard http://192.168.0.1 address, whereas the BT Homehub uses http://192.168.1.254. Ordinarily that wouldn't matter, except that I have TP-Link wireless access unit on the FreeSat box, which just happens to have the same default address used by BT.
    I changed the IP address on the TP-Link unit and the BT Homehub pages now respond instantly.
    Hope this helps.

  • WIN2008R2: No external network access from Hyper-V guest using Virtual Machine Bus - Legacy ok

    Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 Hyper-V host
    HP DL370 G6, HP NC375i integrated Quad Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter
    Static IP (.11), internet connection via a Cisco switch and PIX firewall
    External virtual network connected to port 1, allowing management OS to share the network adapter
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 guest
    Static IP (.21) on the same subnet, same subnet mask and default gateway (.1) as host
    * with Virtual Machine Bus network adapter:
     - host can ping guest (.21), switch (.5), and has internet access
     - guest can ping host (.11), but cannot ping switch (.5) and has no internet access. 
     - network map shows the guest and host connected via a hub (Microsoft virtual switch), connected to a gateway, then a red X between gateway and internet
    * with Legacy network adapter:
     - host can ping guest (.21), switch (.5), and has internet access
     - guest can ping host (.11), switch (.5) and has internet access. 
     - network map shows the guest and host connected via a hub (Microsoft virtual switch), connected to a gateway, and no red X between gateway and internet
    I installed Hyper-V before adding the HP network drivers (there's a known problem if you install Hyper-V after adding the network drivers), so that's not it.
    This happens both with straight network adapters, and also when two are configured as a network team - no difference.
    I don't want to use the Legacy network adapter as the performance is terrible, but right now I have no choice as otherwise I can't get network or internet access from the guest. 
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please refer to the following post to see whether you can resolve the issue.
    Network Adapter (not Legacy) does not work on Virtual Machine after installation through ISO

    By the way, did you only encounter this issue with one VM or all VMs? Please do the same test on VMs with other version of Windows such as Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003.

  • Network access from VM

    Hello,
    I have imported a 2.x VM to a 3.0.3 server, using 3.1.1 manager as a template. I removed network entries from the vm.cfg file before the import. Now I need to configure this VM to have network access, but I'm having a hard time putting all the different pieces together.
    What is the procedure to do this? I am going through the user's guide, but any other sources are much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well i was used to using VM Server 2.1.1 without the Manager, which I found too buggy to use and grew accustomed to just using the server itself. Now I went for VM Server 3.0.3 to check out the new manager which looks promising :-)
    I figured out my network issues so I'll mark this thread as answered, thanks.
    My problem was very very simple, no bond mapped to a network :-D I couldn't figure it out for a while, because I was trying to create a new network and that, of course, couldn't assign the already assigned bond. I was shocked how many people blog about Oracle VM installation only posting screenshots and text output of the actual installation, just seems pointless.
    The official User Manual is a great resource, but it's a bit harder to read for someone who only needs the simplest network to manage sandbox environments. I'm also using separate servers, each having their own (internal) repository and individual network.

  • I'm continuously getting a "connection timeout" on my home network. My iPhone connects without a problem, and I know the password is correct. How do I fix this?

    I've never had a problem connecting to my home network until recently. The desktop computer is connected, and my iphone connects as well. It is not a problem with the wireless router, but rather I believe with my computer or airport. How can I fix this?

  • Qemu-kvm: network access from host to guest

    I need ssh and http access from my host (Arch) to the guest (other Linux). I've failed at setting up Tap networking as described in the wiki. I don't need to have the whole LAN access the guest, so is there another way the host can access the guest? Using the guest's IP of 10.0.2.15 doesn't work, but I'm hoping there is a way to do it.
    Thanks.

    Mr.Elendig wrote:Bridging is the best way todo it, so you should give us some more info on your atempt at it, so that we can help you fix it.
    Ok, I've followed the instructions from the wiki.
    One problem is that I'm on a laptop. eth0 is wireless and eth1 is wired. I chose to use eth1 since I thought it'd be easier to get working on one device before trying to make it work on both.
    1. bridge and tun modules are loaded from rc.conf
    2. In /etc/conf.d/bridges I have this:
    bridge_br0="eth1"
    BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
    3. In /etc/rc.conf I changed my networking portion to this:
    eth1="eth1 up"
    br0="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(eth1 br0)
    4. In /etc/udev/rules.d/65-kvm.rules I have this:
    KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0660"
    5. My user is part of the kvm group, although I have also tried running qemu-kvm as root.
    6. In /etc/qemu-ifup I put:
    #!/bin/sh
    echo "Executing /etc/qemu-ifup"
    echo "Bringing up $1 for bridged mode..."
    sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 0.0.0.0 promisc up
    echo "Adding $1 to br0..."
    sudo /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 $1
    sleep 2
    7. Using visudo I added this to the bottom:
    Cmnd_Alias QEMU=/sbin/ifconfig,/sbin/modprobe,/usr/sbin/brctl,/usr/bin/tunctl
    %kvm ALL=NOPASSWD: QEMU
    8. I launch qemu-kvm with the following script:
    USERID=`whoami`
    IFACE=`sudo tunctl -b -u $USERID`
    qemu-kvm -net nic -net tap,ifname="$IFACE" -vga std -m 1024 -k en-us -usbdevice tablet -localtime /dev/sda
    sudo tunctl -d $IFACE &> /dev/null
    My system starts with br0 getting the dhcp IP on boot, so that part is working.
    When I run the qemu-kvm start script I get this error (running as user or root):
    /etc/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script
    Could not initialize device 'tap'
    /etc/qemu-ifup is executable

  • Setting Network access from JInitiator Control Panel 1.1.8.3

    We were trying to use the GetClientInfo JavaBean from the Oracle Technology Network to read the clients IP address from the Web server. We were able to do this by setting the Network access to Unrestricted on the JInitiator Control Panel 1.1.8.3.
    Is it possible to get this to work without setting the Network access to Unrestricted?
    Also, does anybody know of any security concerns with setting the network access to Unrestricted?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Todd

    Hey Todd - I've been able to get the ip address without setting it to unrestricted.
    I can't tell you why you site requires this.
    Could you let me know what you learn?

  • How to share internet access from iPhone with home LAN

    Hello,
    Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just bought an iPhone and am trying to use it to provide internet access to a LAN at my cottage where only dial-up is possible with my ISP. Although this is easily accomplished by enabling internet sharing on my iMac and plugging it into my router's WAN port, I do not have any access to my IP printer or to my SONOS music system. Any pointers?
    Thanks,
    Martin Girard

    Well, getting internet access for my iMac is straightforward using USB tethering (I live in Canada, no AT&T crap). Then, I can share this connection with other computers (via ethernet in my case) by enabling internet sharing (in the Sharing control panel). My problem is that once I plug my iMac in the WAN port of my router, I can't access my LAN anymore. Any ideas???

  • Network Access from Work

    I'm at work on a PC and need to access my home Mac network. I've clicked on all the sharing properties on my Mac including the remote tab. What do I need to do on my PC in order to access the computer?

    First thing I would do is pay a visit to http://www.ifelix.net/tech/ and see if they have the necessary tech notes that you need that discuss your home Mac and work PC architectures. Be advised that these notes only discuss computers on the same LAN; you would have to modify whatever guidance is given there to accommodate the fact that you would be connecting over the wide-area, not just over the LAN. I don't know what would be required in way of modification with regards to PC because I am both Mac at work and home. I do know, however, that you will have had to set up port forwarding on your home router so this "uninvited/unexpected" traffic from you at work is permitted to pass through your home router's firewall. Frankly, I would not allow SMB connections or FTP connections directly over the internet. I don't know if Windows OS has built-in ssh like Mac OS or not. If not, you could install a 3rd-party ssh client for the work PC. I know our work used to suggest one for PC users called sshputty, at least a few years ago they did. Then you could use scp (secure copy) or sftp (secure ftp) from the command line, and have encrypted login and file transfer. Sorry, I can't give you any more guidance than that.
