How do I prevent automatic connection to the wrong network

My computer, instead of connecting to my airport station and network, often connects to my neighbor's unprotected wireless network. This often happens when it cannot login or find my network right away.
Is there a way that I can instruct my computer to always ignore my neighbor's network?

Hi,
Did you remove your neighbours network from the preferred list? You may also want to amend the options in that Airport tab to stop it from automatically adding new networks as preferred.

My iMac often wants to connect to the wrong network

I live in a retirement community that has wi-fi. Their system doesn't allow devices to see each other, so I paid for regular cable Internet access and plugged in my wireless router. It's in the room with my wife's iPad and allows us to connect with our wireless printer as well as each other.
The trouble is, a couple of times per week I discover my iMac trying to connect to the other Wi-Fi (there's a logon screen to connect). I have my own network at the top of my Preferred networks. My wife's Mac doesn't seem to have this problem, it stays with the wireless router network.

Did you click OK after making sure your network is at the top of the list?
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-fi and drag your Wi-Fi network name to the top of the Preferred Networks list then click OK.

Automatic connection to the wifi network

My iPhone connects automatically to my friend's wifi network, but it does not do the same with my own wifi network. Why? What can I do to dolce this problem?

When connected to your wifi, go to settings>wifi tap on your LAN and on the next window, tap Forget this Network.
Then log back in. It should remember your login in the future.

SCCM 2012 SP1 Console automatically connecting to the wrong site

I have 2 different sites here at work. A production site and a test site. I am trying to install the console on my desktop and connect to my production site.
When I run the console with my "regular" account (we have seperate accounts for admin/privilaged functions) it attempts to connect to my prod site, which would be fine, but that account doesn't have rights to that site.
When I right click and run the console with 'Run as a different user..." the console attempts to connect to my test site, which fails because that site is running SCCM 2012 R2, but I don't want to connect to that site anyways.
The dumb thing is that when I click the 'Connect to site...' button in the console and put in the FQDN of my prod site, nothing happens, and the SmsAdminUI.log doesn't even log a connection attempt.
Where is the console getting the connection to my test site? Where is that cached? How can I get rid of that and connect to my prod site using a "Runas"?

When I connect my ipad to a wifi network, the iphone connects to the same network

When I connect my iOS 8 iPad 4 to the guest network at work, my iOS 8 iPhone 5s automatically connects to the same network. When I disconnect the iPhone so I can send an email from my iCloud account (which is blocked on the work network) and tell it to forget the network, it disconnects my iPad too. Each time I tell the iPhone to forget the network, when I reconnect my iPad, the iPhone connects again.
How do I tell my iPhone to never connect to the work guest network while allowing my iPad to connect?
I do not like this feature in iOS 8.

Unfortunately, this does not help me, there are no issues with the operation of the WiFi, it is operating normally on both devices.
The issue is that in iOS 8, the WiFi network information is shared across linked devices. Therefore, if I add a network to one device, it is added to the other device and if I forget a network on one device, it is forgotten on the other.
I want to use a network on one device (the iPad) and to not use the network on the other (iPhone). How do I tell the iPhone to not connect to the WiFi without disabling WiFi while allowing the iPad to connect to the network? It is annoying to have to disable the iPhone WiFi manually each day when I get to work and it is prone to forgetting to turn it back on when I leave.

How to set up automatic payment for the purchase order

Hi, All,
I have one question how to set up automatically payment for the Rent Office purchase Order?
There is the requirement from the client. They want to create one kind of purchase order for the Office Rent, then pay the fees in the certain time of every month to the vendor for the rent fees without any invoice. Whatu2019s the normal solution for this kind of purchase order? Is it ERS? Or something else?
Please give me the details and business flow. Also please tell me how to setup in the SAP and T-code.
Thanks in advance

Either you can set up ERS or you can pay directly from the FI side.
Prerequisites
Evaluated receipt settlement must be flagged in the purchase order item.
The vendor must be flagged as being subject to ERS in the vendor master record.
The goods receipt must refer to a purchase order.
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification must be defined for the purchase order item.
A tax code must have been maintained in the purchase order item.
The order price of the materials may not be an estimated price.
If you flag a vendor as being subject to ERS, the system sets the ERS indicator as a default in each item when you create a purchase order for the vendor. You can prevent this happening for certain vendors by flagging the info record for the material and the vendor as not being subject to ERS.
In Purchasing, you can delete the default ERS indicator in a purchase order item.
Choose Logistics Invoice Verification ® Automatic Settlement ® Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS).
The selection screen appears.
You can use the following criteria to narrow down selection of the transactions to be settled:
Company code
Plant
Goods receipt posting date
Goods receipt document
Fiscal year of the goods receipt
Vendor
Purchase order and order item
You can define the selection criteria for the invoice documents by:
Delivery
Purchase order
Purchase order item
Goods receipt document
Credit memo
Invoice
Currency
Choose Execute.
The system issues a log for Evaluated Receipt Settlement, which displays the following:
Settled
In line with your selection criteria, the system displays all the order items that were settled (or if you are working in test mode, which would have been settled).
Could not be settled
In line with your selection criteria, the system displays all order items for which ERS is defined but could not be settled. It also lists the reasons.
If the system reports being unable to invoice a transaction, you should exclude the transaction from ERS to avoid it being included in the log the next time ERS is run.
Select the item and choose Exclude from ERS.
The system also generates and possibly sends a message to inform the vendor(s) about the transaction settled, depending on the settings in Customizing.
You can display the following environment information for the order items selected. To do this, choose Goto ®:
Display purchase order
Display invoice
Display material document
Display long text

Windows 8.1/IE 11 Does Not Automatically Connect to the Internet

Windows 8.1/IE 11 Does Not Automatically Connect to the Internet
I can't find the dial and redial options anywhere.
I' m connecting through PPPOE but only manual.
I know that in windows 7/8 a program like IE9 or IE10 could connect to the internet, but now it just says that I am not connected to the internet.
How to connect automacally to the internet and how to let IE to connect automatically to the internet, and why I don't have the options for dialing and redialing like in Windows 8?
Thank You

Hi,
Sorry for my dilatory reply, what does your mean that IE dialing to connect to internet? Did your system can connect to Internet? or just IE 11 couldn't connect to internet. you can
check your IE poxy setting in Connections of Internet options.
If you encountered any IE problem, you can try to reset IE for test to resolve this problem.
If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

[E7] Automatic connections to the internet

My E7 is connecting to the internet in regular intervals, although there should be no appearent reason. I am trying to keep all outgoing data connections to a necessary minimum, mainly to maximize the device's standby time. However, I cannot get rid of some automatic connections, thus I have no idea what processes or applications actually trigger them.
My device is set with the following configuration:
- RSS reader widgets are all removed
- RSS feeds seem to stay offline according to the update timestamp shown with each feed
- Widgets are set to offline
- Social 1.3b is installed, but does not seem to update status since only older status messages are shown
- mail synchronization is set to manual for all accounts
- Nokia situation beta was installed, but removed
- Skype, Nimbuzz and IM+ are installed, but not running
- WLAN monitoring is off
I have a couple of third-party applications installed as well of which none should be running. Is there any way to monitor the outgoing data connections? I.e. which applications are responsible?
Any hints are appreciated.
Robert

Here is the full official FAQ about this, it seems that there are some things in it which have not already been tested here:
Your Symbian^3 device establishes a WLAN connection automatically if there is an application requesting access to the network and you are under the coverage of a WLAN network which is defined in the destination settings of the device.
Usually the applications are connecting through the default Internet destination group. To see what access points you have in this group, select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Destinations > Internet (or some other group, if it has been selected as the default destination).
If the destination group contains both WLAN and cellular access points, the switching between the access points can be controlled with the Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Switch to WLAN setting:
Select Known WLANs only to switch from cellular connection to WLAN connection immediately when the WLAN access point in the destination group is found. You can in this way save in the data costs that may be associated with the cellular data connection.
Select Manual to disable the automatic switching of currently active connection. WLAN access is established only if the user manually takes a WLAN connection in use or after the active cellular network connection is disconnected. Note that the WLAN connection is established automatically in this situation if a new connection is requested and the WLAN access point is the highest priority access point in the destination group.
If you don't want the WLAN connection to be automatically established, you can remove the WLAN access points from the default destination group:
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Destinations > Internet.
Long press the WLAN access point in the list and select Delete or Move to other dest. (if the access point is in use and cannot be edited, switch the device first to Offline profile).
After removing the WLAN access points from the default destination group, the network connection will be established via the cellular connection (if defined in the destination group).
To prevent the automatic data connections to both cellular and WLAN networks, you can disable the automatic connections in the application settings. Depending on the application, this can be done e.g. in the following way:
Home screen widgets: Select Options > Widgets to offline mode.
Email: Select Menu > Applications > Mail > Settings and select Manual or a suitably long retrieval frequency in Retrieval frequency or Sync frequency settings.
Note that any applications running in the background may trigger the network connections to be established. Long press the Menu button to see the currently active applications.

How do I prevent Mail from Zipping the attachment?

When I send a .pages file by e-mail, Mail zips the file to .pages.zip.
The network software at this University blocks .zip. How do I prevent Mail from zipping the file? I tried turning off the "send windows-friendly", but but still zips.

Assuming this is iWork '08 or earlier, the "documents" are actually packages. A package is really a folder hierarchy. A folder cannot be emailed unless it is archived somehow. Mail does this automatically; most other email programs would be incapable of sending a bare Pages document at all.
You could use some other non-blocked archive format, like tar or StuffIt. Or maybe you could rename it so that the mail servers don't recognize it as zip. You would have to instruct your recipient to rename it back. I understand that iWork '09 archives documents by default, although they are not named .zip, so that should be no longer an issue.

Hi,
I have made the following customizing settings to activate customer integration with business partner, but the problem is when I create a BP with a role (FI-Customer) the customer is not created automatically.

Roles: FLCU00 - Business Partner FI Customer (FS: BP)
FLCU01 - Business Partner Customer (FS: BP)
2. Defined the Number assignment for Direction BP to customer
4. Customer account group and numbering is also defined.
3. Created a BP with BP Role FLCU00, I can see the Customer - General Data tab, but no customer was automatically generated by the system.
Kindly let me know if any customizing I have missed.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

N8 Automatically Connects to the internet.

Hi,
My new Nokia N8 automatically connects to the internet. When I open applications that need internet connection it connects without asking. For example if I open Ovi Maps, SW update, or games that use the internet it automatically connects without asking me.
I am using PR 1.2 with the following settings:
Data Use in home Network: Always Ask
Data use when abroad: Always Ask
It never asks me it just connects. This is using my data.
Thanks

When you first set up N8 did you sign in to Nokia account or did it time out and you chose "Later"
I chose later
Presumably if you go to Menu > Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Destinations > Internet - network access point = Priority1?
My wireless network is number 1. When im not near my wirless network other applications (such as games) automaticly use data.
Try opening your browser > Options > Settings > General > Access point - change to "Ask when needed" and see if makes any difference.
That is the option that I selected. It asks me when I open the browser only. Not other apps.
In OVI Maps top right of screen does it say "Accounts" or "Hello username" tap on this > Nokia account - does it say "sign in" or "sign out"?
"Accounts", "Sign in"
I found an example of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOro3mowj1Q
At 11 Seconds "Network Connection" pops up. On my phone it does not. It just connects. Its not just ovi maps its everything.

My Photosmart C410 won't automatically connect to the Network

My Photosmart C410 won't automatically connect to the Network, I have to put in my password for the router every time I turn on the printer from the printer keyboard. Is there anyway that the printer will automatically connect to my network?

Tell me about your network - router brand/model, encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc) and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).
When you turn off your printer, are you totally removing power from it (like shutting off a power strip)?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
