How to use 'WPA2 Personal' only in a AEX network?

In my AEX configuration, I specifically set the security to 'WPA2 Personal' only. When I join the network I choose WPA2 Personal.
But when I look Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced... it shows 'WPA Personal'.
How can I use WPA2 Personal?

Hi,
Question? What machine is this on? The CPU speed? The version of OS you have? Also, if you know the version on the AEX?
There are some 'newer' requirments to have WPA2... even tho it is stated in the OSX 10.4+... it is not an option without updated versions for the Airport Extreme. I am refering to both the AEX in the computer and the 'Remote' WiFi Airport Extreme. If one can be updated (firmware), but the has maxed out... that is it. I have maxed mine out and do have it. Your machine sounds older, if that is the one you are using.
Look under the Apple Menu and 'more info'. Let us know what it is. Also, go to Apple Update in System Preferences and see what version you have on the list (the latest one).
This will help with clearing it up for you.
Thanks

I just purchased a hp laser jet printer m1217 with AirPrint, i am unable to get it to connect to my time capsule wirelessly, i am currently using WPA2 personal any suggests

I Just puchased a HP laserjet printer M1217, i am trying to print wirelessly , the printer doesnot recognise my network, i am using a apple timemachine using WPA2 personal, anyone have any ideas

Don't know if you ever figured this out but here is the answer...
I just spent the last two days on this and have finally sorted it out. It actually isn't that hard to do but for some reason, no one has consolidated the information in one place!
First and foremost, make sure that you have all the latest and greatest firmware updates for your printer, your computer and your mobile devices.
Next, you need to connect your printer to your network via an ethernet cable, this is the only way to get in to the printer softare to configure it for your wireless network.
Navigate the printer menus on the keypad to Reports>Config Report and print this report. It will provide you with the IP adress and IPv4 address for the printer.
With the printer connected to your network and powered on, point your browser to the IP address of the printer. If this doen't work (it didn't for me) use the IPv4 address.
This will open the configuration panel for the printer and will let you configure the wireless for the printer so that it can join your wireless network. You will see various tabs across the top. Select network. Then along the left you will see wireless. Choose that. Now you should see a list of wireless networks available including your very own home network. Choose that one, enter your password and hit apply.
Disconnect the ethernet cable and you should be ready to Airprint from all devices. This worked for me, I can't imagine it won't work for all...then again...

How to use TCP Checksum Off-load in my network driver

I am seeking infomation on how to use TCP Checksum Off-load to tell the Solaris 8 stack not to handle it for both receives and transmits (and let our NIC handle this compute-intensive task instead).
There is mention that Sun GigabitEthernet Adapter cards, Release 1.1 supports Sol-2.6 use of NIC features: TCP checksum offload & byte swapping
There are limited bits of info in include files. For example
sys/strick.h indicates use of:
inetcksum_t's ick_xmit
stream.h has:
struct datab's unsigned u16:16; /* used to store hw-calculated cksum
#define STRUIO_IP 0x04 /* IP checksum stored in db_struioun */
#define STRUIO_ZC 0x08 /* mblk eligible for zero-copy */
strsub.h has:
struct zero_copy_kstat
Also /include/inet/tcp.h has tcp_sum for outbound.
Thank you. -Weimin Tchen

VenK7337,
Could you show your python code. so we know what your are "writing" to the ethernet port?
That way we can see what you are receiving.
Parsing the incoming data (from the TCP-read) depends heavily on the device that sends it, and can not generically be described. LabVIEW has many byte (and even bit) manipulation functions to convert many different data formats to its own build in formats.
So after the TCP listener is connected, you are constantly reading from the established connection (until it gets broken of course). More advanced example would be the internet toolkit if oyu have it.
From the read characters (and I hope you designed a protocol with a clear starting character, ending character and maybe even a build in checksum) you parse the data and perform you action, and of course generate a reply. Again the internet toolkit is a good example. It parsed the input as it comes it, based on the HTTP format. Then generates the reply based on the request received.
These days I would suggest not to use binairy encoded numerics. Try and use XML formatted data. Yes, it causes a lot of overhead. But typically this is not an issue and makes the code a lot more portable and maintainable. Also makes it easier to interface with other languages/platforms.
Umless of course you are looking at Khz data rates, then XML is not th preferred choice.
Hope this helps...

How to use a personal photo as a background with Live! Effects?

The background works very well, if there is sufficient difference of light and color between my face and the room behind me. I install 2 little lamps to light my face, and let the room in the dark. It also works very well with 2 users in the camera field. It is funny: to capture the background, my wife and me disappear under the table, and I click on "capture the background".
Is it possible to load a personal photography instead of Sydney, Effel Tower, etc., as a background?

Thanks for the reply,
He don't work, I have 2 iMac 27" 2011 and i try to use one of them as second display
Is possible ?
Thanks

How to use Train Component only with Task-flows as Train Stops

Hi,
I'm using JDeveloper version - 11.1.1.6
I have below requirement:
In a Page when user clicks the button, display the Popup with Train Component. I have to use bounded task flow for each Train Stop. I don't have any views to be used as Train Stops. (Most of the Train Samples have Views / JSFF Fragments as Train Stops and child task flows as Train stops)
Please let me know if I can achieve this.
Any pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
train stops must be displayed on a view. So if you have a task flow that navigates to other taskflows then it needs to have at least a single view to display the train stops. If you attempt to show. If you enter a task flow then this task flow will have its own train model. So maybe its better to look at what your use case is and why you need to quite called task flows without properly exiting them

How to use 2 Airport Extreme Units on a Network?

I currently have an Airport Extreme (AX) as my wireless host with internet connectivity, with an Airport Express also on the network to extend the range of coverage.
These past Holidays “Santa” delivered a new Mac Book Pro, along with a Time Machine which is built into an Airport Extreme. I am planning to install this to replace my current (less than 1 year old) existing AX. All of which begs the question as to what to do with the AX that I replace. Obviously selling it as a pre-loved item is an option. But are there other uses that I could put this AX to on my wireless network?
I currently have 2 PC’s and now 2 Mac’s on the network, plus 2 wireless printer / scanners, and our 2 i-Phones have access to the network also.
Thanks, Bruce.

Welcome to the discussions!
+These past Holidays “Santa” delivered a new Mac Book Pro, along with a Time Machine which is built into an Airport Extreme.+
You have a Time Capsule, correct?
The Time Capsule can "extend a wireless network" as well as perform backup functions on the network.
You could continue to use your AirPort Express in another part of the house to provide a stronger wireless signal in that area. (I've yet to meet the first person who felt that they had too much wireless coverage in their home).
If you have a DVR or newer DVD player that requires an ethernet connection for advanced features from the internet, the ethernet port on the Express is "live" when it is set to "extend", so you might think about that option as well.
Hotels don't use ethernet nearly as much as several years ago, but I always take my spare Express on the road to hook up to the hotel's ethernet jack and create a wireless network in the room for the laptop or iPhone. Works great.

"Only Get Delta Once" - How to use this correctly?

Hi folks,
we are currently facing the following situation:
We have a data source only being able to deliver full update.
That's why we proceed as follows:
1.) Full-Load with Infopackage to PSA
2.) Delta-Load with DTP from PSA to first-level-DSO (write-optimized)
3.) Delta-Load with DTP from first-level-DSO to second-level-DSO (standard-DSO). As the activation aggregates all duplicate entries, we are therefore able to deliver a delta to all following data targets (e.g. infocubes)
What we are now wondering about how to use the flag "Only Get Delta Once" which is available in all Delta-DTPs. The help explains it should be used when creating snapshot-scenarios like ours as each request is only delivered once, even if it gets deleted in the data target.
But what other benefit would we have when setting this flag? As I mentioned, the snapshot-scenario also works without this flag...
Could anyone perhaps provide me some more details about this flag and where it should be used?
Thanks & regards
bivision

Hi,
If you select the option 'Only get delta once', then every request in the PSA will only be loaded into the Data target once. For example. If you load a full request into the PSA through an InfoPackage and then load it to the Cube. In a snapshot scenario, when the new full load comes to the PSA you will need to delete the previous request from the cube before loading the new request.
But if you delete the previous request from the cube, and not from the PSA - and if you haven't checked the 'Only get delta once' flag, when you execute the DTP, it will load both previous and the new requests from the PSA to the cube. In order to avoid this you have 2 options:
1. You can delete a request from the PSA after every successful load into the Cube OR
2. You can check the 'Only get delta once' flag in the DTP so that it won't load any request it has loaded into the cubes previously even if it was deleted from the cube.
Using the second option de-couples the PSA maintenance from your regular data loading and also saves you an additional step of deleting the PSA request in your process chain.

WPA2 Personal Security not secure?

I have WPA2 Personal security on my airport network. Two computers are using this network, a G5 iMac and a MacBook. The Macbook only sees the iMac under Shared in the Finder window. The G5 iMac sees a strange computer. How do I get rid of this computer, as I'm worried about my security.

WPA2 is only secure if you use a strong password. a pre shared key that is weak is vulnerable to brute force dictionary attack.
BT routers are not made by BT they are just a speedtouch thompson router in sheeps clothing. They show up in the sidebar.
Other routes i have setup
linksys
netgear
zyxel
apple base stations
dlink
Billion
any Sar chipsets
Belkin
and may more DONT show up in the sidebar.
many isp's use the dreaded speedtouch router rebranded with their own logo.
These routers work fine as modems but don't work well as routers. They crash, they over heat they are buggy. The problem is that most dslams in the UK are alcatel so ISP's use thompson/alcatel adsl router as they prove to be the most compatible for good sync speeds. But the problem is the speedtouch routers are inefficient.
Alcatel have been consistently making bad products for years. Anyone remember the dreaded USB speedtouch?

Ibook G4 airport extreme wont connect to WPA2 personal need help

ok so I just reformatted my brother I-book G4 and started with a clean slate, 10.3.9 OSX I am trying to connect the airport extreme that is in the computer to the linksys network I have set up. I have a Imac with an intel processor and a powerbook g4 titainium the Imac is using the internal wireless that it came with and the powerbook is using a linksys wireless card through the slot on the side.
I am using WPA2 personal on the network and both of these computers connect just fine through the password. the I book will not allow me to even bring up WPA2 personal as an option. it recognizes the network and I can click it but will not except the password because the only option is WEP of different types. how do I get around this and get it on the network?
I bought a external USB wireless card for it but it wont even recognize that either.
also the computer will not boot up with the airport card taken out of the computer which I found very odd. what is up with that?

Copied from apple's support:
To set up a WPA2 Personal network:
1. Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
2. Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
3. Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
4. Choose WPA/WPA2 Personal from the Wireless Security pop-up menu if you want computers compatible with WPA and WPA2 to join your network. Choose WPA2 Personal if you want only computers compatible with WPA2 to join your network.
5. Enter an ASCII password of 8 to 63 ASCII characters.

How to use TC as TC in my current wi-fi.

Hello,
I bought 2 TB TC this November. So it seems to be last model.
In my home i have wireless network. Router is TP - Link. Internet is plugged into this TP link router (l2tp connection).
So i want my TC join to my current TP-Link network. I tried to extend existing network in airport utility. But after this step my TC is not responsive. It shows message that it couldn't connect to wireless network.
All my other actions to use it as separate wifi network didn't bring result. I got message : Error occurer while updating".
Please help me. Can you write steps to be done

Firstly you need a decent utility ..
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Install it directly if you have lion.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
Now you have a decent utility..
Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet.. and press the reset to get rid of your old attempts.
go to manual setup.
Go to setup the TC in bridge mode.
Setup the wireless in this section.
Use either a simple name like the above.. or same SSID as the TP-Link uses.. but set the wireless channel to manual and use a different channel out of 1, 6, 11 to the TP-Link.. sometimes automatic setting works ok.
Use WPA2 Personal security.. this picture is wrong is still using both wpa/wpa2.
Update the settings and plug it into the TP-Link with ethernet to WAN port.. (this is for ease to determine what goes where.. as WAN is no longer important in bridge. )
Then plug

Airport Express broadcasting both WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise?

We were recently scanning for wireless access points for a client using a product called Vistumbler. The client had two older Airport Express wireless routers, set to use WPA2 Personal, but Vistumbler was detecting both WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise during the scans. Has anyone else seen this before with any other routers or scanning software? If so, was there a way to only broadcast the current encryption setting?

The AirPorts can be set to WPA2 Personal.......OR........WPA2 Enterprise, but only one setting can be activated at a time.
In the highly unlikely event that the AirPort Express devices are really broadcasting with two different types of encryption, the devices either have corrupted software settings, or they are defective.
Try another scanner......like WiFi Scanner, located in the Utilities folder of the Mac, or another application to see if you get the same results.

MacBook Pro - 802.11n, WPA2-Personal and Time Capsules

I recently moved to using 802.11n (5GHZ) mode on my Time Capsule using WPA2-Personal security. I am unable to connect to the wireless network which is extremely frustrating since this is all Apple hardware. I have no problem connecting to the 802.11n 5GZ network using one of my PCs.
My MacBook Pro has the latest software updates available and does have 802.11n enabled.
I have been looking for similar issues on the forum and have tried a few things that were suggested by others, but nothing works. I've reset the router. Reset the SMU. Haven't reset NVRAM yet.
I have a mix of Apple and PC hardware that is connecting to this network. My 24" Intel iMac (Core 2 Duo) connects just fine.
I'm hoping there is a GURU on this forum that can assist me.
Thanks,
J.d.

I would try:
1. Examine your system.log for the error you are getting, if you cannot authenticate with the router it will say why. Go to the Apple icon, select "About this Mac", select "more info" button in the center, select "Log" under Software on the left panel side, select "system.log" then scroll to the bottom, look for errors in the log related to "airport" or 802.11...
2. Go to Finder/Utilities, pull up keychain access.app, click on System on the left, you should see an entry for your WIFI network, delete that entry, close Keychain access.
3. Try removing, reboot then re-add your Aiport entry. Go to System Parameters, Network, highlight "Airport" click on the minus button and remove it. Reboot your computer. When it comes back up go back to System Parameters, Network, then click on the button and re-add the Airport, when it says Airport 2, over write that with just "Airport", then click on Advanced, click on button to add the Preferred Network back in, type the name of the SSID on your router, then select WPA2 Personal from the drop down menu type. You can also display the password to confirm it matches what you input in the router for the password for WPA2 Personal.
Under TCP/IP, if you are getting a private IP address from the router via DHCP, then set IPv4 to DHCP. I would not use IPv6 for time being, set that to Off. Next click on your DNS and input your DNS if not automatically filled in by the router with DHCP, I always like to add a DNS not provided by the router that way if it fails or you go to Starbucks you will always have a DNS entry that works, I would input OpenDNS's entries, so those would be under IPv4:
208.67.222.222 and other is
208.67.220.220
So to connect, your computer needs to have an IP address, either DHCP or manually input (like 192.168.1.xxx) etc.
Next you need a DNS entry if not provided for by your router (should be if it is dishing out DHCP client addresses).
WINS and Proxies are only used in corporate environments where they are using a windows domain and/or proxy servers as a gateway to the WAN.
WPA2 Personal offers much better security than WPA or WEP shared, if you use a password make it at least 8 characters in length 10 is better. The longer you make it the higher the security, but it must match exactly what the password was set for WPA2 on the router.
TO make sure you are not having signal/noise problems get as close to your router as you can to establish the connection once that is done you can move farther away.
