How to Disable WiFi for Portege R830 + Port Replicator& External Keyboard

Dumb questions I'm sure, but this is driving me nuts.
I have a Port Replicator with external keyboard and monitor attached. The Port replicator has an wired Ethernet connection to my LAN. When I dock my R830 into the Port Replicator I'd ideally like it to turn off the wireless adapter, but as a minimum I definitely want it to default to using the wired LAN connection not WiFi.
Currently it just seems to randomly decide to either use the wired or wireless connection when I dock.
So ... two part question:
1. How can I set the R830 to automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I dock?
2. How can I disable the wireless connection when I'm docked and using an external keyboard (the F8 toggle to turn wireless on/off on the laptop keyboard doesn't work on external keyboards)
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

> How can I set the R830 to automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I dock?
If the port replicator is connected to the LAN then the notebook would use the LAN connection automatically if you connect the R830.
> How can I disable the wireless connection when I'm docked and using an external keyboard (the F8 toggle to turn wireless on/off on the laptop keyboard doesn't work on external keyboards)
Well, in such case you can use the internal keyboard to switch off the Wlan using Fn + F8

  • How to disable wifi for MAC desktop?

    This is probably a very simple process.  I just need a little direction.  Does anyone happen to know how to disable wifi on a MAC desktop when using an ethernet cable versus wifi?

    EDIT: If the stuff below seems more complicated than you wish to be involved in, feel free to ignore it.
    The Mac will send packets bound for the Internet to the Top-Most ACTIVE interface listed in the left side of the box at:
    System Preferences > Network
    If you set the 'Service Order' to have Ethernet at the top, whenever Ethernet is working, Wi-Fi will be ignored.
    Set Service order is available using the gear Icon at the bottom of that box.
    So all my Internet traffic is going over my Ethernet connection, even though Wi-Fi is still connected and nominally "active".

  • How to disable iMessage for a single contact?

    Hello apple communites, I have a simple and hopefully simple to answer question..
    I am curious as to how to disable iMessaging for a single contact.  My sister when she got her phone number originally had an iPhone, she has since gotten an android and kept the same phone number.  However I am running into issues with text messages to her, my phone still thinks she has an iPhone and continues to send every text as an iMessage, resulting in a failed message.  I can easily hit the "send again as a text message" option and the message/picture sends as normal.  I however find this a bit fustrating, and have tried everything I can think of to attempt to disable this.  However all the online tutorials I can find regarding disabling iMessage turns the feature off completly, I don't wish to do that. 
    I have attempted to completely delete, (including all existing all texts and call history), and then re-add the contact, but that does not work either, my iPhone still attempts to send messages to my sister as an iMessge. Any help, if any, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Your sister needs to disable iMessage on her iPhone if the iPhone is still available if she hasn't already done so.
    If she has, does she have iMessage enabled with the same Apple ID on another iOS device or on a Mac as was used to activate iMessage on her iPhone?

    How to disable iMessage for an old Apple ID which is only used for AppStore?
    I used my old Apple ID for iMessage and AppStore Apps. Now I'm using my iCloud Account (second Apple ID) on my Mac as iCloud and iMessage Account.
    New Apple ID - iCloud & iMessage (**** thing that I can't use my okd Apple ID for iMessage and another for iCloud) on new Mac
    Old Apple ID - AppStore, iMessage days ago
    So now how to disable the iMessage function for my old Apple ID which isn't used anymore?
    Thank you!

    Yeah the problem is that I want to be reachable by:
    *new apple id
    *mobile number
    Earlier:
    *old apple id
    *mobile number
    Problem - if I set in Settings => Messages => Receive at:
    *new apple id
    *mobile number
    Others still can see my old apple id as "iMessage" although it isn't used a iMessage anymore. So how to disbale iMessage function for that?

  • How to disable iMessage for a specific contact/How to unregister iMessage from former device

    I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3. When my wife who still has an iPhone 4 tries to text me it still sends the message as an iMessage and I NEVER receive the text on my Galaxy S3. It still shows the little blue bubble next to my name when starting a new text thread. So I checked with about 4 other iPhone users that text me on a regular basis and I'm not receiving any of their messages either.
    If the iPhone users turn off iMessage the text comes right through. However I dont expect all the iPhone users on my contact list to turn off the iMessage feature just so they can text me.
    I no longer have my old iPhone. I traded it in at Best Buy so there's no way of going back in the phone to change any settings. The iPhone was wiped of all data and settings anyway before I traded it in.
    I took my wifes iPhone and deleted my contact. Then I added it back. Still shows my name as iMessage. I took my e-mail address out of my contact entry on her phone and it still shows my name as iMessage.
    I logged into "Apple Support - My Support Profile" to try to unregister my device as suggested in another forum but I can't get past the "enter your purchase date" page. It was a refurbished iPhone and the date I purchased the device didn't work. Theres no way I'll ever get the original purchase date since I wasn't the original buyer of that iPhone.
    Any suggestions?? This is an urgent matter as I NEED to receive text messages from my wife and other iPhone users. My wife is willing to turn off iMessage on her iPhone but I don't expect everyone else to.
    I need to find out how to unreigster my old iPhone completely from iMessage.... or find out how to disable a specific contact on my wife's iPhone from using iMessage.

    If you still have an iPhone handy and have the SIM card you used for the phone, then temporarily put your SIM into the other phone and go into Settings and turn of iMessage. If not, the only alternative that I know of is the Support profile, However, you may what to search the More Like This section on the right side of the thread to see if any of the entries there have a green checkmark meaning they are answered.

  • How to disable parsing for FTP uploads?

    I would like to upload documents into iFS using FTP, but I don't want them to be parsed during upload. How could I disable parsing for FTP uploads?
    Thanks, Daniel.

    Hi, Are you using FTP inside or outside of Firewall. We are facing problems in ifs uploading when the users are outside of the firewall. This problem does not exist if we are using port 21, but since this is a well know port, we choose to use something else.
    May be you can share with us on how to configure IFS to enable ftp ( except port 21 ) outside of firewall.

  • Lenovo Yoga disables WiFi for all devices

    I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 that connects fine via LAN cable, but when i disconnect and try to use WiFi it disables my wireless router for all devices.  The wireless router works fine for windows phones, android phones and other laptops.  The Yoga disables WiFi every time it connects - is there some setting i can change to fix this?  how do i diagnose what is going on?  I've checked Ipconfig /all but it looks normal.  Any ideas?  thanks

    Sounces like the network is overloaded, or there's interference.
    Try ethernet.
