How can I add or change the Network I'D for the TouchPad?

Most devices on a network have names for the device for one reason or another. This helps to distinguish between connected devices and the legitimacy thereof.
So far I have been unable to add a Network ID to this TouchPad.
With the Amazon Kindle Fire had seen the network ID as "My Phone" which I really wanted to change, and fast. Did manage to change it with an Android app called Fing, which allowed me to use a rather unorthodox network identification name.
Would like to find another network utility that can do the same for the HP TouchPad. Any ideas as to a utility, or a more manual method? Fing via the Kindle Fire shows no network ID for my TouchPad.

Hello Xelkos,
What you're talking about is actually a feature of DHCP. When asking for an IP address, a client can send a hostname to the server so that it can be easily identified in a human-readable way.
By default, this is disabled on the TouchPad. To enable it, you're going to need to edit a text file on the device. There's lots of different ways to do this, so pick your favorite and then follow these insturctions.
Find /etc/dhclient.conf and open it
Find the line that starts with:
# send-hostname
Delete the "#" sign in front of the line and change the text inside the quotes. This text should be whatever you want your hostname to be:
send-hostname "TouchPad"
Once you've done that, save and close the file
Next, turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You should now see your hostname show up on your Access Point / Router.
NOTE: Remember that in order to make these changes permanent, you must set the file system as read-write:
mount -o remount,rw /
You must also set it back to read-only when you're done:
mount -o remount,ro /

  • How can i add a new event in my calendar for the new IOS 5?

    I cant seem to add a new event on my iPhone 4 with the new iOS 5. I read the you are suppose to tap and hold the day you want to add an event, but that doesnt seem to work for me.

    It works for me when I tap and hold my finger over the day seeing the month or week, when the phone is turned sideways. Maybe you should keep the finger a little longer on the screen to hold.

  • How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

    How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
    I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
    I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
    Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    i also got same query can u pls tell me elaborately, if u can can u pls send some code.

  • How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval em

    How can I add a new message(custom text message) to the holiday approval email-notification sent to the manager?
    TIA

    The answer is 'not very easily', unless the information you want to display is the employee's leave balances. In 12.1.3 Oracle have delivered functionality that allows you to include the leave balances in the approval notifications out-the-box, ie, without customization.
    For any other information you're probably going to have to customize the standard delivered HRSSA workflow. Within this workflow, the Leave of Absence functionality uses the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_APPROVER_NTF) notification. The body of this notification is set to the Notify Approver (Embedded) (HR_NTF_EMBEDDED_REGION) attribute. This in turn defaults to:
    JSP:/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=-&HR_EMBEDDED_REGION-&NtfId=-&#NID-
    So essentially you can change the HR_APPROVER_NTF notification. The problem with changing this notification is that it's generic - it's used for all SSHR functions and not just Leave of Absence. That means you have to make other, more substantial, customizations to the workflow to ensure the changes you make only applies to LOA.
    The other option is to personalize the review page (ie, the region referenced in &HR_EMBEDDED_REGION) to include whatever messages you want. But that means they'll appear on the Review page and all LOA approval notifications and that might not be what you want.
    It's usually better to live with what Oracle deliver and find an alternative solution! What's the content of the message you want to include?

  • After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

    You have two separate questions here...
    To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
    I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

  • How can we add a control on our .jsp webpage for uploading several image fi

    How can we add a control on our .jsp webpage for uploading several image files as done in gmail attachment, Where a Remove button also appears if we wanna remove the particular attachment.

    The SCOM Management Server is in Domain A.  I've tried it already and it has failed.  
    So just to clarify the method I used was to go to Administration>Security>User Roles.  Then New User Role>Read-Only Operator.  In the Create User Role Wizard I then gave the User Role a name, Clicked "Add" under User Role Members.
     Then the Select Users or Groups window pops up and I changed the Locations from Domain A to Domain B and searched for the user, which it's able to find, then clicked "OK" to add it to the User Role members which it does just fine.  On
    the next page which is Group Scope I checked the one group I want this account to have access to and then click next.  This brings me to Dashboards and Views where I click the radio button for "Only the dashboards and views selected in each tab are
    approved" and chose the folder of dashboards I want this account to access and then click next.  This brings me to the Summary and I click "Create".  At this point it thinks for a moment then closes out the wizard but the new Read-Only
    Operator does not appear.  I then look in Event Viewer and see the Event I pasted above.
    Am I doing something wrong here?  Any guidance on how to get around this issue would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc, it pastes with no spaces between words. How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue.

    When I copy/paste a paragraph from a PDF doc (onto Facebook status bar, for example) it pastes with no spaces between words.  I.e: "The manhadajugofcoolwaterand offeredmeadrink." How can I fix this? I've searched everywhere for the solution but didn't find anyone had this issue. I'm new to Apple so any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I can't speak about this occurring with FaceBook since I don't use FaceBook, but I see the same type of thing when I copy and pasted from websites. It doesn't always happen and I cannot find any particular set of circumstances under which it occurs or does not occur.
    I am merely responding to let you know that it happens to me as well and I have seen no way to correct it. I'm not so sure that there is a way to correct in in that it may have something to do with how the original text is formatted in the PDF or on the website and how it eventually "fits" into the text field or the area in which it is pasted.

    Sending a file as an attachment to an email involves setting the correct MIME type and headers. There's a brief tutorial here: http://webcheatsheet.com/php/send_email_text_html_attachment.php.
    Also, you need to use the same name as in your form. In the script you have shown here, the name of the file field is strresume, but your processing script uses this: $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']. It should be this: $_FILES['strresume']['name']

  • How can I add firefox to my note2 phone need for classes

    how can I add firfox to my note 2 phone

    Don't use sync. It will just screw everything up. I just had to restore by desktop FF bookmarks for the up-teenth-time because FF Android screwed them up again. Firefox makes all kinds of excuses as to why but I have had it.
    I removed FB Android from all my devices. I imported the bookmarks to Chrome and will use that on my Android devices from now on. Chrome bookmark sync is WAY better.
    I will still use FF on my desktop, because I still think its better than Chrome, but not on my Android devices.
    PS: I have a Note 2, 2 other Android devices and a laptop. FF sync does not WORK!

  • How can I display a changing variable in a subvi on the front panel of the main vi as the subvi is excuting

    In the document attached the vi on the right is sub to the vi on the left. On the subvi on the right the variable "Field Reading" is continuously updated on the front panel of the subvi as the "for" loop is executed, but only the last value of the variable is updated on the main vi front panel which is what is expected. My question is how can I display the changing value of "Field Reading" on the main vi front panel as the "for" loop in the subvi is running?
    Thank you.

    Hopefully I can explain it well enough. It really is simple.
    1) Create an empty global variable and call it something like User Interface References.vi
    2) For each and every control and indicator on your front panel, right-click and select Create/Reference
    3) Place these references wherever you like (I use a series of Event cases to perform my initialisation and these all live in one of these event cases). They can be placed anywhere in the main vi.
    4) For each of the references, right-click and select Create/Indicator
    5) Moving to the front panel, Cut all the indicators and Paste them in the global variable (eg. User Interface References.vi)
    6) Moving back to the block diagram, wire the global variable to each of the references and select the same named global variable.
    All the hard work is now done (until you add another user interface terminal). You should now have something that look as shown below, [except the reference labels would be to the left (not sure why the snippet put them above)]. In my latest program I have 82 references!
    Done. You can now access all your front panel controls and indicators anywhere in your program as shown below.
    You can just select Value in most cases, but in this particular case I wanted to fire off an Event to do some things (log the alarm) as well as just update the value. So, this is another bonus with the method.
    Hopefully this all makes sense. If not, let me know.
