How to eliminate a network

I was away from home for several months where the onlu network connection ws over ethernet. now that I am back home, I notice that  my default wifi connection is labeled my first and last name followed by the word network. it is showing that is not password protected and has no network connection. How do I eliminate this network? Every time my computer goes to sleep it goes back to that which is quite annoying. I never created this network.
Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you want to rename but I'll take a swing at it.
Go to System Preferences > Network.  On the left is your network services.  If any of these need to be renamed then highlight it (unlock the padlock and authenticate if necessary).  Click the Gear icon below the list and select Rename service.
If a previous wireless network needs to be eliminated then highlight the Wi-Fi service and click the Advanced.. button.  Click the Wi-Fi tab and select any of the previous networks and click the "-" icon below the list to delete.
Labeling in Lion is Wi-Fi and previous OSx is Airport.
Your wifi network name is set on the router so if the above is not the issue, either run the Airport Utility program located in the Utilities subfolder of the applications directory to set for Apple routers or consult the user's guide for the router you have.

    I figured I didn't really phrase the question correctly...
    I was just wondering why there are so many on the list and the ones that don't have a padlock icon next to them worry me...
    I would like to block/disable them.....
    The wireless radio picks up and displays all WiFi signals that are openly transmitted.  That is to show you the networks available to join.  Those that do not have the padlock are unsecure networks, which should not bother you as long as you do not attach to them.  Their being open has no affect on your security.
    You cannot completely and permanently block their being listed.  Just ignore them and don't attach to any unkown networks.

  • How to eliminate the alarm "Client License Limit Exceeded" in Lookout 6.0.2?

    There are 18 Run Time Only Servers, with no clients, running the same application. Right after the installation of the Lookout 6.0.2 software this alarm didn't show up, but after some time it does in all the systems. It makes not too much sense to me because there are no clients at all, thus no client license was purchased and entered/registered.
    How to eliminate this 'false' alarm?
    Any help will be appreciated!

    The design is complex. Within the features, each system collects data in .csv format, and once a day moves a copy of the data collected to some place in the network. Also the systems print to file the events and alarms (once a day as well), then they are copied out with the database to the same place in the network. This folder containing the database and the events-alarms in the network is for other engineers to analize, make calculations, projections, etc. It is weird for me and for the others to have this alarm every day in the events-alarms files of each system.
    Each system is independent, doesn't need to have connection with the other systems. There are no clients because the database collection is enough for us. The systems are VERY STABLE, no need to trouble-shoot (remote access), or even checking how they are working. Truly, Lookout shows a good performance with this application. By the way, the application is too extensive, complex, many different things are controlled and monitored, many different communication protocols are used: OPC servers, Serial connections, etc. General speaking, the overall result is excellent. This little, no-reason alarm is the only problem: "Client License Limit Exceeded".
    I'll really appreciate any suggestion regarding this issue.

    Hi AkMat.
    Have you actually opened these files to see what they are yet? The few Apps I've downloaded (not from iTunes) typically come with a few files. The actual app, the instructions/help/TOU and sometimes an uninstall.

  • Creating Web Service from Java Class-How to eliminate nillable="true"

    Does anyone know how to eliminate the attribute, nillable="true", from the element tags which describe the parameters in the WSDL created when creating a web service from a Java Class? It does this only for the string types. Is there something I need to set when creating the web service or before creating the web service? Or the only way is to modify this WSDL then recreate the web service from the WSDL.
    example part of wsdl:
    this is in the <types> tag:
    <complexType name="getData">
    <sequence>
    <element name="schema" type="string" nillable="true"/>
    <element name="table_or_view_name" type="string" nillable="true"/>
    </sequence>
    </complexType>
    <complexType name="getDataResponse">
    <sequence>
    <element name="result" type="string" nillable="true"/>
    </sequence>
    </complexType>

    I did do this and I got the following error when deploying to the Stand-alone OC4j:
    Operation failed with error:
    Error compiling
    :D:\h\cots\Oracle\JDeveloper10g10.1.3\j2ee\home\applications\DBOperationsWSApp-DBData-WS\WebServices: Error instantiating compiler: webservice artifact generation failed :oracle.j2ee.ws.common.tools.api.ValidationException : Exception declaration mismatch between Implementation: dbdatapackage.DBDataOperations and Interface: dbdatapackage.DBDataWS. Impl class Method: getData declares exceptions not declared by the interface (java.lang.Exception)
    I am quite sure what it is saying. It generated the code for the Interface: dbdatapackage.DVDataWS. Impl class. Why would it not do it right? What expection is it complaining about? java.lang.Exception?

  • How to search a network/external hard drive in finder?

    I use my Macbook at work where I am required to save all files I work on to a network hard drive on our server. I also have to be able to find and access files from the network drive for customers. In Snow Leapord I had the ability to type in the search bar in finder and it would search the entire network drive and find what I was looking for very quickly. Lots of people at work access the network drive, and every one of them has a different sense of organization. The ability to search is an absolute must in order to find anything. After upgrading to Lion, I discovered that the ability to search a networked or external hard drive has been removed. Lion only allows me to search my local hard drive in my Macbook. Does anyone know how to search a network hard drive in Lion? If not I am going to have to eat the 30 bucks and downgrade back to Snow Leopard. I have scoured through every little preference and option and have found nothing that even sounds remotely like it has anything to do with the search feature. Anyone please help, if not I am going to have to break out the time machine backups and remove this broken os from my computer.

    system preferences, spotlight, privacy, add the network or external hard drive and then remove it from the privacy list. it should start to reindex this drive. You'll experience some slowness while this is happening and depending on how big your network is, it might take a really long time. But after that, you should be able to search in them as well. You can also organize what types of files show first so you can navigate to them easier.
    hope this helps

  • How forget a wifi network on a MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I entered the wrong password for a wifi network at my uncle's house and I can't figure out how to re-enter the password. Or how to forget the network so I am printed to re-enter the password.

    The MacBook keeps a list of all wireless networks you connected. Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced, and remove this wireless network from "Preferred networks". Then, try to connect again to this network. Anyway, your computer should ask you for the password if it wasn't typed properly

  • How to reset the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OSX?

    Do anyone knows how to set the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OS X?

    how about a GUI, ever heard of a GUI? it's this really neat thing, where you don't have to worry about remembering long strings of text to do something. Mac OS X actually has a rather decent one (that was sarcasm by the way, Mac is the best) you could have it done in like 30 sec, if you use the network pane of system preferences.

  • How to eliminate the thumbnail picture from a .TIFF picture?

    I apologize but could not think of a more suitable forum to ask the question - if someone has an idea for a better place, I will appreciate.
    When I create a picture with my (Nikon) camera in the TIFF format, it appears that the picture file contains in addition to the full blown picture, a reduced version of the picture, something like a large thumbnail vrsion of the picture. I found it by trying to create a PDF file of the .TIFF file - Acrobat created a two page file, one with the full picture and one with the reduced picture. It looks that I can't tell the camera not to embbed the thumbnail version.
    So my question is, from someone who is familiar with the .TIFF file format, how to eliminate that thumbnail version from the .TIFF file. Must be somewhere (hopfully one) location in the file that when modifying it it eliminates the thumbnail picture from Acrobat's view into the .TIFF file.
    As to the question why not simply erase that undesired page from the PDF file - the answer is that I actually going to assemble many (hundreds) such pictures into one PDF file. Acrobat will put all those pictures such that each main picture will be followed by its own thumbnail and therefore I will have to select manually each single thumbnail page before erasing them, extremely tedious. If I could process it at the individual .TIFF file as describrd above, I could easily write a program that does this modification to all my .TIFF files with one invokation.
    Many thanks,
    David

    So how to eliminate other 2 sub elements in the source structure?
    Any one with better suggestions, about this idea?
    Thanks in advance for all.

    Hi
    raju jut check LOC exists with the help of exists functionality (node functions)
    Use this for input for ifwithout else(boolean function)
    And use your access node as a input at "then"
    I hope you will get the output.
    Check your other thread regarding http sender.
