How do I view saved Internet Connect password?

When I first got online, I saved my ISP's password. It is NOT 10 digits long, but I just noticed when I open Internet Connect, it has 10 bullets on the password line. I would like to see what it has saved there. But I can't find Internet Connect listed in the keychain. Where else are passwords saved that I might go to see it?

The number of bullets displayed is fixed. It does not depend on the length of your password. This makes guessing your password more complex, and therefore more secure.
Where else are passwords saved that I might go to see it?

Internet Connect password won't turn off?

Hey there folks,
This is more of an annoyance/inconvenience than a problem. I would like to turn off the Internet Connect password request dialog box that comes on only when I try to connect via the modem status icon on the menu bar (option available via Internet Connect).
When I try to connect to the internet with a dial-up connection (please don't ask me why I'm still using dial-up…), I try to connect through the modem status icon and at first it tries to connect, but then up comes an Internet Connect dialog box asking for my (login) password –if I choose Cancel or enter an incorrect password the connection that is being attempted disconnects –however, it does connect if I enter the correct login password. Yet if I choose to connect directly through the Internet Connect application, there is no dialog box asking for a password, and it connects to the internet just fine.
I should mention that I have just started using the login/password feature, and also have set a Master Password for FileVault (under Security in System Preferences), but FileVault has not been turned on. I have also fidgeted with KeyChain Access, but have not yet aclimatized myself to its surroundings (although hopefully I haven't messed anything up). I have only just had this problem since fooling around with these password/security features.
Also, I have read the Apple Discussion Board discussions about accessing Accounts in System Preferences and turning on "Automatically login as:" (under Login Options) and also about changing the password to an empty field (no characters), also under Accounts. I have tried these options to no avail (also having closed/quit the System Preferences panel and having restarted the computer). I have tried these with administrator settings on for the main user (I also have a guest user setting with some restrictions and no administrator settings –but I can connect via the modem status icon when logged in as the guest user without the Internet Connect password dialog box coming up –?)
Personally, this seems to me to be a software glitch due to the fact that connecting via the Internet Connect application does not require a password, but connecting via the modem status icon on the menu bar does. (Also, I previously updated my Tiger OS to 10.4.2 from 10.4.1, but noticed that I got a lot of password dialog boxes upon trying to do the littlest things, that I reinstalled the original Tiger OS and then only updated to 10.4.1 –but these OS update shennanigans happened some time ago –so I digress…)
If anyone has any ideas on how to turn off this Internet Connect password dialog box (preferably other than reinstalling the system software), I would appreciate it.

Have you been repairing Permissions before & after every install/update & rebooting?
I'm thinking that the difference is where the parameters are stored, I think the Icon ones are linked to the Network CP, might drag these files to the Desktop & reboot...
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
You can always move them back & reboot again if it doesn;t work.

How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

How do I fix this internet connection with Mobile Me setup?

Hi to the forum,
I purchased an apple ipod touch from Officeworks a few months back, and finally decided to set it up to work today.
I would like to get the Mobile me setup going, so I can locate my ipod if I accidentally lose it somewhere.
The only problem, is that after I have entered my password [which I am believing is the same as my apple itunes password to download intunes], I get this message saying:
"Verification Failed. The internet connection appears to be offline."
I am not sure how to join my ipod touch to the internet. I have it connected to my computer and I have itunes going, and my ipod is showing it is connected to my itunes program. I just can't workout how to actually have my ipod connected to the internet.
I am using Windows 7, and it is 64 bit.
Thanks if anyone has any clues as to what I should do here.
best,
Steve :-)

Hi Vazandrew,
thanks kindly for your reply. I will check out the link.

Internet connection password problem

I've just installed OSX 10.3. Everytime I click internet connect it refuses. When I open the item, I see it has changed my password (I can tell this because there are more letters and numbers than there should be). When I type in my correct password it works OK. I save my correct password every time but it still changes it each time I re-use it. Anyone know what is going on? I've checked all the passwords in keychain and they are all OK.

The password field in Internet connect (and other places) shows a default number of '*' regardless of the length of your password. Therefore the number of '*' displayed will probably not match the number of characters in the password that you have defined.

How do i get an internet connection when i am out of range of my pc

hi...i have a 4th generation ipod touch...no problem with internet connection when i am close to my pc...but when i go out and am away from my pc i dont get a connection....... why is this and how do i get a permanent connection.................thanks

Because you iPod requires a wi-fi connection. It is not 3G or 4G like the iPhone. As lllaass said, you can get a portable wi-fi source that uses 3G or 4G technology, but there is a monthly subscription fee.

Connecting router kills my internet connection/Password reset

Hello,
I am new to the community so please bear with me.
I am working with a Cisco Small Business WRVS4400N trying to set up a wireless connection without access to internet. The purpose is to connect my phone and computer without the internet. As I am a novice, however, I have run into two problems I was hoping to get some help with.
The first problem I am having is that when my computer is connected to WiFi and I connect the router via ethernet, I lose the internet connection. The computer's network settings say that it is connected to both; my WiFi connection and a Local Area Connection with no internet access. Despite the WiFi showing as connected, however, I am unable to use the internet and all the pages I try to navigate to say the connection has timed out. Since I am new to this, I followed the steps prescribed in the first response here (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1703316/set-link-router-internet-connection.html#.).
The second problem I am having is that when I type in the device IP into a browser and get the username and password prompt, the parameters I am entering do not match up. Is it possible to reset or retreive the username and password? Especially if they were changed during previous use?
Hoping to hear back, all advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Yusif Nurizade

Who is your ISP....?
Have you opened the ports on the router for PS3....?
Try reducing the MTU value on the router and on PS3 to 1365 and check.

How to share Windows 7 Internet connection AND Extreme USB hard disk?

Hi All,
I'm trying to share the mobile broadband Internet connection on a Windows 7 PC as well as the USB hard disk connected to the Airport Extreme (2nd Gen) with other WiFi devices. The problem is that I can get either the one to work or the other, but not both.
When I configure the Airport Extreme for DHCP+NAT, all machines on the Airport network can see each other, share files, etc. When I enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 7 machine, the only way I've gotten that to work is to set the Airport Extreme to bridge mode, but then file sharing of the Airport Extreme's disk no longer works.
Device info: Internet-connected Dell Latitude E5420 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen), Windows XP Home Edition + Nokia N8 + etc. WiFi devices.
I've read all the manuals I could find and searched these forums but haven't been able to figure out a solution. I'm really getting desperate and will really appreciate any and all suggestions!
Many thanks,
Francois

I've found a solution that works with my existing equipment. It's now possible to share the Windows 7 machine's Internet connection at the same time as the AirPort's drive. An additional challenge was to avoid having to manually reconfigure every WiFi client, but it turned out that's also possible.
For the sake of posterity, here's the guide! :-)
Background
My setup is based on an AirPort Extreme access point WiFi network. The AirPort shares a hard drive, and a number of Windows clients connect to the network. One of these, a Windows 7 machine, has a USB mobile broadband dongle which I also wanted to share with the network.
Previously I got this to work, but whatever configuration I came up with required manual reconfiguration of each network client, one way or the other. This was not ideal. Also, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) defaults to IP address .1, the same one to which the AirPort defaults. This needed manual reconfiguration of the ICS host each time ICS was turned on.
Solution
THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES THE AIRPORT TO BE IN EITHER DHCP + NAT OR DHCP MODE. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DEPEND ON THE AIRPORT BEING IN BRIDGE MODE, UNFORTUNATELY THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU.
1. Do the AirPort's non-Internet configuration
On the AirPort Utility main screen, click the AirPort button, work through all the tab sheets and configure the items as you require. Do the same for the Printers, Disks and Advanced buttons. Once that's complete, we can do the Internet configuration.
2. Set the AirPort to DHCP & NAT
This is needed so you can choose the AirPort network address in the next step (but you can still set a different Connection Sharing mode later on, see step 7). For now, set Connection Sharing to Share a public IP address:
3. Set the AirPort to the same network address as ICS
Set the AirPort to the network address used by ICS, namely 192.168.137.xyz. Note that the AirPort does not allow a beginning address below 2:
4. Obtain the AirPort's MAC addresses
These will be used in the next step. Record both the Airport ID as well as the Ethernet ID:
5. Fix the AirPort IP addresses to prevent clashing with ICS
The AirPort will default to the same IP address as ICS, namely 192.168.137.1. To prevent this, assign different addresses to the AirPort with DHCP reservations. Underneath DHCP Reservations, click the '+' and create reservations for each of the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces. You can use other values, but to be consistent with the rest of this guide use 192.168.137.253 for the AirPort interface and 192.168.137.254 for the Ethernet inteface:
6. Distribute ICS configuration data with AirPort DHCP
Yes, you read right! This is where the magic happens. To avoid having to manually configure each WiFi client for the additional ICS network, that configuration data is included with the AirPort DHCP configuration. Assuming you've stuck to the numbers above, configure the TCP/IP screen exactly as shown. .254 is the AirPort router (and also its Ethernet interface) address, and .1 is the IP address that Windows configures for the ICS interface:
7. Set AirPort Connection Sharing
If your AirPort is sharing a connection on its WAN port, choose Share a public IP address, otherwise choose Distribute a range of IP address. In the latter case the NAT tab disappears:
8. Save your AirPort's configuration
Your AirPort configuration is now complete and you can push the Update button. Once your AirPort has rebooted, its network will be fully operational.
9. Ensure your Internet sharing port is correctly configured
ICS involves two network ports on the sharing computer - the shared Internet-connected port, and the sharing port connected to your local network. When you enable ICS on the shared port, Windows will temporarily configure the sharing port's settings to fit in with the scheme above (it will get the fixed IP address 192.168.137.1). When ICS is disabled, Windows will restore the default configuration of the sharing port. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the default sharing port configuration is correct. When ICS is inactive the sharing port needs to obtain an IP address automatically from the AirPort via DHCP. Right-click your chosen WiFi sharing connection > Properties > Networking > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties and configure as follows:
10. Share your Internet connection
Right-click the connection you want to share > Properties > Sharing and configure as follows (you may find the other settings also useful but they're not covered here):
And now you're ready to enjoy your local network services as well as your shared Internet connection, all on your Airport Extreme network - without having to lift a finger to configure network clients!
Windows Network Profiles
If you use Windows network profiles to distinguish between Home, Work and Public networks, here are some additional notes you may find useful.
As Windows recognises networks, it applies their assigned profiles which add or remove sets of restrictions wrt. network discovery, file & printer sharing and so on. The amount of ICS configuration data that can be included with AirPort DHCP information is limited and in some instances this interferes with how Windows recognises networks.
It seems that Windows recognises a network once a default router has been configured for it. Following are some known scenarios with fixes for each, based on that principle.
1. WiFi network not recognised
When ICS is enabled, on the ICS host Windows configures only an IP address for the sharing port and no default router. When ICS is disabled, on the ICS host this port receives its configuration from the AirPort via DHCP, as do all other WiFi clients. This DHCP configuration includes router information for the ICS network, but again no router information for the AirPort network itself.
Therefore the AirPort network is not recognised on any Windows machines on the WiFi network, under any circumstances.
To make Windows recognise the AirPort network, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254 metric 3000
This metric is high enough to ensure that "real" default routes get preference over this one.
If you want to remove the above routing table entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254
For convenience I created shortcuts for these two commands.
2. WiFi network recognised, unrecognised network remains
Once you've added the route above to make Windows recognise your AirPort network, when ICS is disabled Windows will probably identify TWO networks on your WiFi adapter:
     Unidentified network, your_AirPort_network
Windows now recognises your AirPort network, but the DHCP router entry for the inactive ICS network makes it think there must be yet another network. However, the 192.168.137.1 ICS port is not present when ICS is inactive, so Windows reports the inactive router entry as an unidentified network.
If you want to remove this unidentified network/router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1
On your Windows ICS host, removing this entry can cause no harm.
However, on network clients where you removed this entry and subsequently want to share your Internet connection from again, you'll need to add it back.
To restore the ICS router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1 metric 1

How to build up an internet connection via WLAN?

I am using WLAN at home with my E90. Since I changed the provider I got a DSL modem which does not connect to internet automatically. With WIN XP the internet connection is built up manually every time I start the computer (German expression is DFÜ - like in old times with your analogue modem). Now I am missing a possibility to do the same with my E90 - is there any chance enter the user name and password to get access to internet via WLAN? Thanks - even for negative answers...

Not that I'm aware of, I have had a good look around my E90 and the only connections you can define a user name and password for are packet data connections.

How to share iMac WiFi Internet connection without a router

I would like to know if I can link my iPod Touch (new one) to my iMac so that share my internet connection via wi-fi via Airport at home without a router.
I have tried to like my ipod touch to iMac by turning airport and setting up a new network, the ipod touch is able to pick up the wireless signal of my iMac ant the Airport status bar shows an arrow out which mean that airport is sending signal out but for some reason when I try to use Safari or Mail in get the following error message "cannot Open Page Page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet"
Also when when scanning for wireless signal with my iMac I am able to pickup my neighbours wireless signal while my iPod Touch is only able to pickup my iMac airport wireless signal.
What I am missing ?

1. Open System Preferences
2. Go to 'Sharing'
3. Click on 'Internet Sharing' (leave the box unchecked for now).
4. From 'Share your connection from' choose 'Built-in Ethernet'
5. From 'To computers using' check the 'Airport' box
6. Open 'AirPort Options' (bottom right), name the network. (Once it all works, go back and assign a password).
7. Now, check 'Internet Sharing' box and turn on AirPort. The AirPort sign on the iMac menu should turn into an arrow.
