How I can boost my internet connection?

I have a Mac Book Pro with 8Gb RAM. I use Virgin broadband on fibre optic cable at high speed connection. My Mac is upstairs in my office and the Virgin modem is downstaris. Also I have bought and connected to my modem/router a Plug-In booster attached on my electrical socket downstairs and upstairs hoping to increase the signal.....with no great results. So any suggestions, please?
Stefano

I do not understand your description of the actual situation: "Also I have bought and connected to my modem/router a Plug-In booster attached on my electrical socket downstairs and upstairs hoping to increase the signal".
Does this mean that you use a connection via the power lines? If so, this will only work on the same phase of the power net. There are litlle condensators to couple the phases for this but they do not work well (or not at all). And also the powerline connectors are "low" speed: normally 54kb/s although there are faster ones.
If it is not possible to have an ethernet cable from the Virgin modem to a router at your office or nearby, try a fast wifi router connected to the modem with a Wifi extender of the same brand close to your office where the signal from the modem-connected router is medium to strong.

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?

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.

Hi, I live in the UK and have an ipad2 with wifi (no 3G). I plan to visit Canada in the summer and want to know how i can access the internet while i'm away e.g. can i purchase a 3G attachment that will give me access on a pay as you go basis. Thanks.

You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

How i can make my own connection in java source of a jsp page

How i can make my own connection in java source of a jsp page (How to get connection from JNDI datasource address) ?
imagine that i have a rowset in a web page , now i want to do some operation using
plain JDBC , so i will need a connection object.
I tried to get one of my rowsets connection but it return null ?
what is best way to retrive a connection from JNDI datasource that we define for our project?
for example if i have
myRowSet.setDataSourceName("java:comp/env/jdbc/be");
in web page constructor
now i want a pure connection from the same datasource ? JNDI
Thank you

It is not hard to get your own connection from datasource.
in your case you need to do like the the following code.
i provide sample to show you how to catch the exception and create an statement .
Connection con =null;
try{
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/be");
con = ds.getConnection();
java.sql.Statement st =con.createStatement();
}catch(SQLException sqlex){
sqlex.printStackTrace();
sqlex.getNextException().printStackTrace();
catch(NamingException nex){
nex.printStackTrace();

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?

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.
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?

Can you combine internet connections ?

I've heard that you can combine 2 internet connections in to one faster one, fisrst is this posible with the MacPro using the two gigabit ethernet ports on the back (MacPro Mid 2012)? To do this i've heard that you need a special Router, a Link Aggregation Control Protocol supported one which is about $500, but im not sure if that is the kind of router you need. Anyone who got experience in this who could help me ?
Thanks,

Your Mac Pro 65lb tower with dual Ethernet ports does indeed support Link Aggregation.
It requires a Router or Switch that supports Link Aggregation Protocol, which is an expensive industrial-strength device.
OS X Mountain Lion: Combine Ethernet ports
If you do not have enough of a "mix" of traffic from multiple sources, some readers have complained that their speedup was disappointing. At least in older versions, connections were made in a permanent virtual circuit fashion, assigning each connection to one side or the other, and not using the full bandwidth for a single connection. Fail-over is supported just fine.
This also begs the question of where do you get anything else to connect to, that runs at 2Gbits/sec. Most Internet connections can't go anywhere near that fast, so it will not improve your download speeds.
Are you doing a lot of local File Transfers? Fiber channel may be more appropriate to support a Network Attached Storage device.

Acrobat XI can't find internet connection

I have had Adobe CC subsciption for some time now, but recently my Acrobat stopped working. it says that it can't find internet connection. But all the other Adobe applications installed through the CC application manager are working fine.
I've had numerous chats with Adobe agents, and with my office's IT guys, and there has been no solution.
We use corporate anti-virus, firewall and proxy scrypts. I've had all Adobe links whitelisted that were given to me by the Adobe agents. The hosts file doesn't have any Adobe info. I've tried reinstalling n+1 number of times, with various options such as selected boot and such, and still no solution.
Why is it that all other Adobe applications installed under the CC work fine, but Acrobat doesn't?
It's sad that if one buys a subscription and loses internet, one would lose all the products as well. One should be allowed to work on the applications, internet connection or not.
Please help with this Acrobat that has created a circus for me here.

Have you also asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat to find out if someone there has the same problem... and a solution?

How can I share internet connection of iPad?

Under the following considerations:
- An iPad3 has established a 3G/4G data connection.
- There is a wireless access-point working.
- iPad is connected to that wireless access-point.
- There is a notebook (or desktop whatever) also connected to same wireless network.
... is it possible to share iPad's internet connection across the network and how?
Important note:
I am not looking for iPad to perform like a wireless hot-spot. IMHO I am looking for a gateway/router application for iPad.

You can't.
If you don't want to use your local WiFi you could try using a mobile phone that allows you to create a personal hotspot.

How can I get internet connectivity with my iPod Touch cabled to my PC?

Most devices "tether" to a computer (PC or iMac) for internet connection. I cannot find any reference in the user manual on getting internet access from the connected PC to the "tethered" ipod touch. How can I accomplish this?

Hi,
The iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS support Internet tethering over a USB cable, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574.
The iPod touch can connect over a Wi-Fi network, as mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2031.
If your PC has a wireless card, you may be able to create an Ad-Hoc Wi-Fi network that can share the Internet access to the iPod touch.
You can also get a wireless router, like an Airport base station http://www.apple.com/wifi/.

Can't share internet connection with iPad since installing Time Capsule

Until today, I've used Earthlink's DSL service with a Netopia DSL modem with an ethernet connection to my iMac through a Linksys WRT54G router. My iPads (1 & 2) have been able to simultaneously share the internet connection over wifi.
Today, I installed a Time Capsule and removed the old Linksys router. I'm still using Earthlink's DSL service with the same Netopia DSL modem, and I still have an ethernet connection to my iMac, but through the Time Capsule now. I can get online from the iMac without problems.
But my iPad can no longer connect as they did previously. When I try to visit a website using Safari on the iPad, I get the message, "The Internet connection s currently in use by another computer. Enter your DSL Account logon password to switch the Internet connection to this computer." If I enter the DSL account password on the iPad, I can get online, but then the iMac is knocked offline.
How can I go back to sharing the connection so that any of the devices can get online at the same time?

I found another thread right after I posted and seem to have solved the problem following the steps described there (plus a couple more).

[Solved]Can`t create internet connection

I`ve installed arch linux on my lenovo y550, but, because I was too sleepy to think yesterday so I didn`t configure the /etc/rc.conf and /etc/resolv.conf file (I installed from CD). All in all i`ve got neither wired nor wireless connection to the internet (everything works fine on windows 7, the same laptop). I think the problem is there are no proper drivers. After typing
/sbin/ifconfig
I only get the lo, no eth0. I`ve configured the web connection on my PC 2 years ago, the same router and web provider, but I didn`t have any problems then, so I guess it must laptop issue.
#lspci | grep -i net
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation WiFI Link 1000 Series
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
I tried the modprobe pcnet32 and modprobe tg3 and modprobe broadcom. In theory, 2.6.33 kernel should support the driver tg3 for BCM57780 (?? Maybe the information I`ve found is wrong??)
still no result. (I didn`t modify the /etc/rc.local with those modprobes yet).
Any Idea what should I do to get the web access?
I`ve found this post:http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=774219
and I`m curious how to install the iwlwifi-1000-ucode without internet connection to get my wireless going.
Any help with either connection?
SOLVED:
thx karol for solution. add this in your /etc/rc,local
modprobe -r tg3
modprobe broadcom
modprobe tg3
and add dbus in daemons. Also, while installing archlinux, you can find iwlwifi 1000 series in additional packages on cd (necessary for wireless connection)

the error i`ve been talking about:

::Mounting Network Filesystems [DONE]
there are drivers ofr linux on the producent webpage, http://www.broadcom.com/support/etherne … nk_k57.php
But I`ve got no idea how to access my pendrive from console. I can copy it to the HDD using PartedMagic liveCD, so I`m most likely going to try this. What`s funny, even though eth0 doesn`t work on parted magic using DHCP, wireless network works perfectly fine :]
