How to tell if Desktop is WIFI capable???

I have a Pavillion 6000 Desktop. How do I tell if this unit is WIFI enabled?
I'm wanting to use AT&T Mobile Hotspot Elevate 4G unit as my household internet device and don't know whether I can with this pc or not. Out here in the sticks the only internet access available is Air Card and / or Satellite. I would like to replace both of them with the AT&T mobile hotspot but don't know if pc will do it or not.
Thnx

Hi,
There are hundreads of models for this series, what is your model ? One way to check: look at the Device manager, under Network adapters. Can you see anthing called Wireless or Wi-Fi or similar in the following image ?

TS1398 My iPhone wont allow me to turn the wifi on. I've also noticed that I have no wifi address for my phone. If that is the problem, I don't know how to tell it what my wifi address should be.

Under Settings>Wi-Fi it is showing that my Wifi is off. When i open that to turn it on, it won't allow me to slide it to the on position. It's lighter grey instead of bold, which tells me that action is not available. Under Settings>General>About it says that my Wi-Fi Address is N/A. I have figured out that it should be the very same as my Bluetooth, which also will not work, but I don't know how to program that into my iPhone

That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

HT3500 How can I add WPS (pin) [for a WiFi capable CAMERA] to Time Capsuale WiFi

Hi,
How can I add WPS (pin) [for a WiFi capable CAMERA] to Time Capsuale WiFi network?

I suggest that you use the Add Wireless Clients feature in AirPort Utility.
Normally, this feature is used to add a wireless printer, but it will work with any wireless device.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab at the very top of the screen
Click Add Wireless Clients

Windows 7 desktop drops WIFI connection

Hi -
I seem to see a lot of posts with this same problem, but no solution that's relevant to me. I have a DLink DIR 655 router that has the latest firmware installed (I updated it yesterday). One of the machines on my wireless network is having problems.
Two Microsoft Surfaces, three Windows phones, and one Canon WIFI printer all work fine, its only a desktop that uses a USB Wireless card that has the problem. I am currently using a Medialink MWNUSB150N wireless card. Note, however, that I had
exactly the same problems with a DLink wireless card.
The problem is that the WIFI connection drops frequently. The systray will indicate that I am connected to the wireless network with internet access. Then I will notice that web pages are not loading, but it will still show that I am connected
to the WIFI network and the internet. After a short time, the systray will show that I am connected to the network, but have no internet access. After some more time it will show that I am not connected, but will usually show that connections
are available. When I try to reconnect (my SSID shows as available at this point), then I get an error saying no network is available. At this point, my SSID no longer shows as available. I've run the troubleshooter probably 100 times over
the course of several months. It never helps. Rebooting sometimes helps. Sometimes it seems like I need to do a voo doo dance to get the connection back. Following is the result of running netsh wlan show driver.
Any ideas?

Questions:
Regarding your advice to check the wireless security settings - I don't know exactly what to do. I went into the router admin page and checked the wireless security - its set to "WPA-Personal". Other than that, I don't know how to tell if
its using TKIP or not.
The next time it fails, I will try your suggestion to remove the network and reconnect. I can't remember if I tried that at some point, so I'll give it a shot. I'm waiting for it to fail right now as I tried something yesterday that I think has
a low chance of success, and it hasn't failed yet. I noticed that the option to "allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" was checked for the wireless adapter, so I unchecked that value. I only think it has a low chance of
success, since the timing of the shutdowns was pretty random and did not "smell" like a power saving thing, but thus far it hasn't failed. I'm still within the window of randomness, though. Sometimes it works for a little over a day and
sometimes it fails after less than 5 minutes, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the moment.
Comments:
Tried using different USB ports, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, and front panel vs. real panel just in case there was anything weird going on. No difference.
Updated the driver using the "update driver" button. Windows believes I have the best driver installed. I did look for other versions, didn't find anything.

How do I use a USB WiFi dongle with a MacBook?

I recently acquired a USB wifi dongle and downloaded the appropriate driver. When plugged into my MacBook it will connect to my Graphite Airport base station. I can even use Airport Admin Utility to change setting in the Graphite ABS with this USB dongle.
The driver software also included a 'client utility' which I use to get the dongle to function with the MacBook. It also required adding the dongle to the list of network [ports via the Network Preferences in OS X.
But I do not know how to use it to access the internet through the ABS. My ABS has a 56kbps dialup modem in it which I use with the MacBook's internal WiFi card as my way of accessing the internet normally. I would like to know how to use this new USB wifi dongle to do the same thing though.
TIA

If you noticed on my jpg of my settings the very top left window shows that the MacBook thinks the dongle is indeed connected to the internet. In actuality the dongle is only connected to the Graphite ABS.
My thinking is that the Graphite ABS (Apples first ABS) is simply set up to listen to Apple's own Airport card when it comes to the ABS' internal 56k modem. Maybe someone can tell me from experience that a Graphite will listen to a USB wifi dongle?
A bit of my personal philosophy... Apple stuff generally 'just works'. It does not require a lot of windoze-like 'jumping thru hoops' to make it work. So when it does not 'just work' I tend to think that it is because it can't.
Didn't try turning off the firewall, but if it requires that I would not want to use it anyway.
Yes, the ABS does distribute IPs, or at least something does because they are different from one time to the next.
Access Control is on, but again, I require that so it would have to work that way for me or it would have no value to me.
Again I will say, I certainly appreciate your help BDAqua. But I am starting to think we may be trying to do something that cannot be done unless you know otherwise?
Again, I would like to ask, is there is anyone using a Graphite ABS with any USB wifi card/dongle?

I am using the G Drive Slim to back up my files, but I don't know how to tell if or when it is finished. The white light does not change, flicker, go out, etc. When is it finished?

The whole story: The hard drive on my quite new Mac Book Pro, bought in December of 2011, crashed and burned in the Fall of 2012. I purchased a new hard drive and was informed that the only way I could have saved my "stuff" was to back it up with an external hard drive. Who knew?? I bought a G Drive Slim at the Apple store, and on their advice. BUT I really don't understand how to use it, and the instructions are completely inadequate. How can you tell when it is finished? I have educated myself on the proper way to eject the Drive, but I don't know how to tell if it is done. Or, frankly, if it is even doing anything. The white light burns steadily, no blinking, no flickering. Nothing. Thanks for help.

are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX" meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
To see your HD on your desktop GOTO FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there, and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.

How to tell SAFARI to select especific mail service

Does any one know, how to tell SAFARI to use for example, YAHOO web mail serivice instead of MAC MAIL, when selecting the option MAIL LINK TO THIS PAGE.
Tks in advanced from México

Ralphjh,
An Automator workflow can save the page in a web archive format:
First download the Save Safari Web Archive workflow.
I would add two additional actions at the beginning of the workflow, each from Automator's Safari library, so that your final workflow would look like this:
1) *Get Specified URLs* -- Deselect or use the minus sign to remove the default www.apple.com address. Open your puzzle page in Safari, make it frontmost, and click on the Current Safari Page button.
2) *Display Webpages*
3) *Run AppleScript* -- No need to modify the existing script.
4) *Get Selected Finder Items*
5) *Move Finder Items* -- The desktop is default.
Save the Workflow as File Format: application, and add it to your Login Items.
It all may be for naught however. I suspect that upon your return from vacation, you'll be disappointed to find that opening any one of the saved files will only result in opening the current day's puzzle. For example, on Tuesday April 29th, the puzzle linked from the URL you posted opened the puzzle for +that day,+ Puzzle Number 760. A quick look at the 30 Day Killer archive (scroll down the page) reveals that each day's puzzle has its own URL. The actual URL for Puzzle Number 760 is:
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/DailyKiller.asp?day=29/04/2008
You'll notice that the URLs for the individual days' puzzles in the Killer Archive differ only in the dates appended to them. You would likely need to find a way to incorporate that pattern into an AppleScript -- correlating the current date to the updated URL.

How to use N900 as a WiFi modem to connect a PC to...

Hi there,
I have used the PC suite software to connect my N900 to my computer. On there, there is an option to connect to the internet via the phone but it seems that this is done only via the phone's 3.5G capability.
I was hoping that I could choose either 3.5G or the Wifi.
I have a desktop computer at home that does not have a wifi card nor is it connected to my network via a CAT5 cable. So connecting it to the phone is the only option I have. Connecting through the phone's wifi capability would be more economical than using the 3.5G subscription.
Does anyone know if one can switch between the 3G and the Wifi int eh PC Suite ?
Thanks
Fred

I don't think it is possible to use the N900 as a wifi adaptor

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

How do I use Facetime and Wifi on the Iphone 4.

I never used wifi on the iphone before and how do I connect to the wifi signal in my house to use facetime? Also if I don't have a password for wifi what do I do? Can I have step by step instructions on what to do please?

facetime... when you go to contacts and choose who you want to call, you'll see their info and the options by how you want to contact... you'll see facetime, press it and make the call, your contact will receive the facetime call and if they want to except...
wifi... whenever you choose a wifi which is available and you click on it for the first time, it will ask for a password/passcode if its password protected. when you see the list of wifi networks available you'll notice a little PAD-LOCK icon which means its password protected.

How to tell N6.5 DHCP to use a W2k8 for PXE?

Hello,
could anyone give me a hint, how to tell my netware DHCP to use a Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis with PXE Server?
Actual Situation:
Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
Netware DHCP Server
ZEN7 SP1 Imaging
--> works fine so far, and no problem in other subnets, IP-helper are configured in the switches
New Situation:
Netware 6.5 Sp8 Server with ZENWORKS in Cluster mode
Netware DHCP Server
Windows Server 2008 R2 running Acronis Snap Deploy with PXE-Server - in future may be a clean Windows Deployment service without Acronis
--> that would be nice :)
I found serveral ini-files (dts.ini, pdhcp.ini, tftp.ini) where I configured the new IP-Address of the W2k8 PXE Server.
Now:
The Client gets its correct IP-Address from Netware DHCP
but after that the following messages:
Auto-select:
ZENworks Boot
Boot Server IP: --.--.--.-- (the correct one configured in the ini-files!)
TFTP.
PXE-T02:
PXE-E3C: TFTP Error - Access Violation
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

This option should only be set if both DHCP and PXE services are on the same server (as is probably the case in your situation as I'm guessing both DHCP as also PXE get loaded in the same cluster resource script).
For subnets serviced outside of the subnet your DHCP server is running in, you will need to configure multiple ip helpers: one that points to the DHCP server and one points to the PXE server so those requests on other subnets get serviced correctly.
To get things running it's probably easier to try to get this to work on the subnet your DHCP and PXE server are running in (so you are not also having to deal with the ip helper setup just yet). If that works, then expand you configuration to different subnets & ip helpers.
Hope that helps,
Willem
As a ps and for clarification, don't load the PDHCP on any of the NetWare servers... just have the PXE PDHCP service running on the Windows server.
The PDHCP/PXE service for ZenWorks won't understand/work with the Arconis one and visa versa.
