How do I set up a Web-based access page to allow access to the internet through my router?

My wireless router is a WRT54G. I own/manage several condos in a building and guests change all the time. I want to set up a network with internet access similar to hotels and airports where access is granted after being directed to a web page and entering a password. How do I set this up? (I have several domains/websites if this is needed.)

Not with standard firmware and no other equipment.
If you want standard firmware and warranty and service you have to look at more expensive equipment.
For some WRT54G you can flash 3rd party firmware which opens up the Linux on the router. See the wikipedia article for "WRT54G" for a start. Also check out dd-wrt. Some people there use the WRT in hotspot setups with dd-wrt. They should be able to point you into the right direction.
Otherwise, what you are able to do with the WRT and standard firmware is radius authentication with WPA or WEP (called WPA Enterprise or similar...). This however, does not redirect you to access through a web site. You have to enter the username and password when you connect wireless to the router on your computer. If it matches you get access. Again: there is no web site involved here and if you don't know the username/password you cannot access anything not even an internal, free homepage. This also does not work for wired access to the router.

Web based RIA with no outward connection to the Internet

Hi All.
I'm just having an experiment at the moment, trying to get a development environment running on a Windows 7 64 bit box. It's actually going quite well - only a few hiccups along the way with mxmlc not liking JAVA_HOME to point at the JDK (which is fine under XP), but it does like it pointing at the JRE within the JDK.
Once everything was up and running, I tried to test my application. It kind-of works, but is unable to load the themes. The themes are compiled from a CSS file using MXMLC, and result in a file called Theme.swf. This is loaded using the application styleManager.loadStyleDeclarations method.
On my desktop machine, connected to the internet, this all works fine.
On this test machine, which is not connected to the 'net, because it's a corporate build, the styles don't load. In the console, I see...
[SWF] /ILM/index.swf - 6,575,011 bytes after decompression
[SWF] /ILM/styles/Theme.swf - 165,925 bytes after decompression

Is it possible to either compile these swz files into the theme, or host them locally.
Similarly, how do I put our own crossdomain file in so that it will be picked up by the app?
The end app will be run within secure corporate environments, which we can't guarantee will have access to the 'net.
Thanks in advance,
Pete.

HT1178 What the difference is between WPA and WPA2 and how are these settings affecting the access of other computers to the internet through my Time Capsule

I have a Time Capsule of the 4th generation and I am pretty impressed since I just had a fried harddrive on my 3 month old Imac and Time Capsule restored it fully including all programs etc. without having me to put in all serial numbers etc. for that I give it an A+. However what I find very frustrating is the very short and incomplete user manual and setup instructions. I give those a D-. It does not explain the consequences of certain choices to a normel non computer gig user like me:
I do not understand what the consequences and difference is between the security setting WPA/WPA2 and WPA2 when setting it up. It would be helpful if the manual would explain something like: If you set it onto WPA2 then computers older than XXX years will not able to hook up to the internet through your router...or the likes, since I slowly supect this may be the reason for some of my troubles.
I also have a 5 year old PC with vista connected to the Time Capsule. It can wireless connect to the Time Capsule and access the printer (I have managed that after some painful hours...) but it cannot access the internet with that PC through the timecapsule wireless, only if I hook it up with a cable. Why? Does that have to do with the fact that I have set the TIme Capsule to WPA2?
Our PS3 can connect wireless, no problem. However, I friend of mine tried it with a quite new Toshiba Notebook and he could see the Time Capsule but again it shows the line from the Time Capsule to the internet blocked. All other computers linked with data cable to the Time Capsule are connected to the internet no problem. What have we done wrong? Should I change the security setting to WPA/WPA2?
I tried the latter, but then another problem does come up, which was there from beginning on: When I change the settings for my Time Capsule my Imac suddenly cannot find the Timne Capsule anymore, even so I am only 3feet away from it. When I set it up for the first time 3 month ago it drove me crazy. The very first time it found the Time Capsule right away. But when I discuverd a mistake in my initial setup and I went through the settings again to change stuff it suddenly could not find the Time Capsule anymore. Only after frustrating 20 times or so with turning wi-fi on and off several times inbetween did it suddenly find the Time Capsule in the set up menu. However, when I tried changing my security setting to WPA/WPA2 today to see whether this solves my other problems again it could not find the Time Capsule when I was finished with the settings and I had to give up/cancel. Why is that???
I would really appreciate some help here. But please I am not a computer gig and normally always had assistance with these things. On the other hand I am not all stupid either (even so these manuals assuming we all grew up sleeping on a computer make me feel stupid).....
Thank you all in advance

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

I have accidentally blocked Firefox's access to the internet, how do I unblock it?

Earlier I saw a popup while I was browsing that said that Firefox was trying to access my internet, and at the time this seemed suspicious. I don't know why, but I pressed "block" which, in return, blocked my entire access of the internet through Firefox. I tried reinstalling Firefox, and I also tried to do stuff with the firewall but I didn't understand what to do. How could I allow Firefox to access the internet again?

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

How to migrate from forms to web based application

Hi,
I did a form for Oracle applications, but client need a web based form for this application how can i migrate this to web based form. If it is possible can u give me suggestion how migrate.
Kishore B

Not sure if that's possible, as developing forms for Oracle Applications requires the use of TEMPLATE.fmb to start with, and the use of certain standards to adhere to the look and feel of the applications. Review the Oracle Applications Developer's guide for more details.
What You may do now is to upload the form to the Application Server and compile it to the adequate directory $PRODUCT_TOP/forms/[LANG], register the form, associate to a function and use it in a menu to see it trough Oracle Applications standard interface, but it may show a very different L&F and not all standard functionality may be available. With the Dev Guide's on hand, apply required changes and test Your form in the application.

Converting a web-based text page to XMP

I have a live, web-based text feed that contains all of the metadata I want to capture. I want to tag this metadata to video and image files, and I want that information to stay with the video and image files throughout the production process (ie. the metadata information should be available in transcoded copies of the video files and so on).
I'd also like to use this metadata to create data-driven graphics in Photoshop. At this stage I can get basic datasets working in PS, but I have to cut-and-paste the info from some cells into a .csv file first. Ideally I'd like to eliminate this manual step as it introduces the possibility of human error, which is what I'm trying to eliminate in the first place.
Photoshop can't read the whole text file as a dataset because I think it's in an array (I'm not sure, I don't get it), and from my understanding datasets will only work with .csv files.
It should be a relatively simple process to grab information from a live, web-based text feed and convert it to useable metadata, but I find the XMP SDK completely indecipherable. Apologies for my ignorance but I have no coding experience whatsoever and it seems like it's written in an alien language. Can someone please offer some advice as to how I go about this? Attached is a copy of the text file I'm trying to use.
Thanks to anyone with enough smarts or nerd power to crack it... it's beyone me, I've wasted weeks staring at a blank page and I'm more confused now than when I started.

Hi,
what you are planning to do seems technicaly possible with our XMP C++ SDK. But you really need programming skills in C/C++ to realize this project.

Samy

Web based admin pages broken on Mac?

Have new WRT54GL v 1.1, 4.30.7 firmware.
I have noticed intermittent problems with the web-based admin pages, using both Firefox and Safari on the Mac. Odd bit is these don't happen all the time and I'm not sure yet what triggers the problems.
Most commonly seen in Firefox: On the page for basic wireless settings, drop-down menu for selecting the channel will not work. It will display the currently selected channel, but clicking on the menu will either not drop down at all, or it will drop down briefly with no channel selections visible.
In Safari: Many of the drop-down titles and item will shows the intended text prefixed with the word "Capture" or bracketed in "Capture(itemName)." I've seen a few variations on this. Also, many item titles and text are simply missing from many of the pages when viewed in Safari.
Questions (some rhetorical, some practical):
* Anybody else seen these or similar problems?
* Known solutions/work-arounds?
* Does this happen with any browsers on the PC?
* Is there something fundamentally wrong with how WRT54GL's scripting builds these user interface items - or is the problem more related to how the Mac browser handles the rendering?
-Lee

I don't have any problems with this firmware on my WRT54Gv2 using MacOS or Windows and any browser I have.
Those problems are usually either cache problems, i.e. there are some incomplete files in the browser cache.
Could be disabled JavaScript. (It is worth to check the JavaScript error log to see if there is problem)
Could be a hardware/memory problem. Sometimes this happens after a firmware upgrade which did not correctly go through. A re-flash of the same firmware could help then.
The Safari texts you see are normal. There JavaScript works a little different. I have the same on mine. (but I must admit I cannot tell you if I can configure the router with Safari as I have never tried it so far. I usually use only Firefox.)
You can try a PC and see if it is the same there. I guess it is.
Anyway, you are not alone with this problem. I would try to clear the cache, if that makes no difference, download the 4.30.7 firmware and re-flash the router. If that still makes no difference return it to the store if you can and get a replacement. You could ask them to hook it up there to a computer to see if it is any better there...

How do I Set up a LAN with no access to the Internet?

I have a Solaris 10 (08/07) [No longer can acess the internet]
full install on one system, and Solaris 10 Developer Edition (09/07) on another system. Each has been auto-configured upon installation, and have reached the Internet, and registered at Sun Microsystems, from behind a router and cable modem.
I want to create a Local Area Network, using a 4 port Netgear Ethernet Hub, model EN104tp, Each of the Solaris 10 systems, a Windows XP Pro system, and a Windows Media Edition LapTop. +(Which I want to have additional admin control, and access to the Server, from!)+
My problem is this!
1) Do I have to change any files to eliminate, the access to the internet from the two Solaris machines via router and cable modem? If so which, and, how do I? +(I intend for the LAN to be isolated from the internet)+
2) What are the step by step, to set up a LAN?
I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Maybe I am looking in all the wrong places...
I appreciate and Thank You in advance for any help...

The only difference between LAN and Internet is the size.
Depends on how you define LAN -- it may be multiple subnets glued with routers or just one big or small subnet with bridges, switches and/or hubs or simply a crossed UTP-cable..
If you don't have routers then you won't need a /etc/defaultrouter (rm -f /etc/defaultrouter; /usr/sbin/route -fn)
You should use RFC-1918 addresses; i.e. chunks with a suitable mask of your choice as parts or whole of 10./8 (10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255), 172.16/12 (172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255) and/or 192.168/16 (192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255). Example 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 for a (256-2=)254-node subnet; 10.20.30.40/255.255.255.252 would suite a crossed-cable subnet perfectly.
A DHCP-server would be nice for PC's. Solaris can do that (/usr/sadm/admin/bin/dhcpmgr).

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]

"I have Pages 5.1 but when I try to open a page on my desk top.. a message comes up - You need a newer version of pages to open this document. How do I set my computer to open a page on my desktop?"

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
*Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
So do not rely on it.<br />
If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.
