How can another computer connect to my wireless signal?

I have a great wireless signal running through my time machine, but my friends who visit cannot get into it.  They are running off the neighbor's wireless signal which is not as strong.  I have set internet sharing to ON but it is not offering WiFi  as an option.  I have a feeling it is time machine settings somehow but don't know how.  Any suggestions?

Assuming your friend is using a Mac.
Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Network.
Select Airport on the left, and click on the Network Name that is displayed (which will probably be your neighbour's network).
Select: Join Other Network.
Click on Show Networks.
Select the network you want to join.
Enter the password
Click on Apply.
You only need to do this once. The next time your friend visits, the Mac will remember the network and the password.

    what do we have to do to connect a friend's computer to my wi-fi?

    Hello Brenda
    Have them select your wireless network from their Airport drop down menu or if they are on a PC from their wireless card menu.

  • How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

    How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys.   Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network.  Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name.  I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac.  Appreciate any help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

  • How does another computer show up as "shared" in my file sidebar?

    how does another computer show up as "shared" in my file sidebar?

    If you are seeing someone else's computer in your sidebar it is because they have 'shared' something on their computer and hence made it available to you. If you share something on your computer then your computer would become visible in their sidebar.
    You can access their shared computer without them being able to access yours. They do not have to do anything on your computer to make theirs available to you. All they have to do is tell you what username and password to use to access their computer.

    Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express?  I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
    shows limited.  Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.  Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine?  If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

    i have tried to "forget" and rejoin but that has not worked either.
    what to do pleeeease?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
    Did you try to reset the network settings on your device?

  • Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
    I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”…  If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
    Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
    Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
    What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

  • How can I change Connection parameters when promoting to Production ???

    Hi Everyone !
    Do you know how can I change Connection Framework parameters in a Webdynpro Application? The app was deployed in TEST, now I want to move it to Production...
    In my application I am using Connection Framework to connecto to a BAPI.
    The connection was created using
    SAP Connectivity > SAP Enterprise Connector.
    I provided connection parameters for a TEST environment (Host name, system number, client, logon name...).
    I deployed the application in TEST, but how can I change these parameters prior to promote it to Production? Were and how do I fill the new parameter values?
    Many Thanks,
    Silvio Hirashiki

    Hi Silvio,
    AFAIK, you need to provide JCO connection to proxy port type and all connection specific data is there. (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ed/897483ea5011d6b2e800508b6b8a93/frameset.htm). You can use configuration files for this or RFC destination.
    You only need to regenerate proxy when interfaces of functional modules are dufferent for TEST and Production.
    BTW, why are you using SAP EC instead of adaptive RFC model in WD application?
    Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

  • How can I disable Connect / AS SYSDBA

    Hi,
    How can I disable
    CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    Regards

    1) Oracle version?
    2) OS?
    3) Looks like you're using OS authentication method. Switch to password-file method, and set a meaningful password for sys. You'll need the users which should not login as sysdba out of the OSDBA group, since OS authentication has priority over password file authentication. To setup password file authentication, you'll need the parameter REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE at "EXCLUSIVE". You'll also need to create a password file ("ORAPWD FILE=filename PASSWORD=password ENTRIES=max_users").
