I need to know if my wireless & networks setting is correct

I was changing/customizing the different areas since I just got this replacement phone and I had an app say it had to have roaming turned on to work a few days ago when I was having problems with it freezing up and not working. I thought this was odd so I pulled up "mobile networks options" in the "wireless and networks" in "settings" and I cant seem to turn roaming off. I don't remember turning it on but the phone was messing up when I got that message so I am concerned the app possibly changed it or I did not thinking out of frustrating of needing that app to work right then!
under the first option is data roaming and even if you choose deny it will still say "connect to data services when roaming" is this correct?
under preferred network I'm given several options such as "global" "CDMA" and "GSM/UMTS mode" which is it suppose to be set on? I do NOT travel outside the USA and I have unlimited data but I don't understand roaming and roaming charges so I don't know which to choose and if one will charge me etc.
then under CDMA options (when I have it chosen) it has "system select" and it has "home only" and "automatic" which one do I choose?
then there is a check box "enable always on mobile data" should this be checked?
I have looked and tried to figure this out but always hear about roaming in reference of travel outside the USA. as far as I know i have never hit a section in USA that has made me go into roaming and I really don't want the cost of it because I screwed up and chose the wrong one.
this replacement phones setting are just a little different so I cant figure out what it was suppose to be originally as far as my old phone had.
the phone fully functions on global and cdma which I have heard some phones wont on one or the other so that didn't help me figure it out =(
help!! I use data all the time and my husband told me to put it on wifi till I figure this out but i have to leave the house so I don't know what to do.

Awesome, lordkaos! I really like the Incredible 2.
When you go to the network settings, http://vz.to/178COko we recommend having it set to CDMA. If you do travel overseas, then you can select one of the other settings.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Need HELP! connecting to wireless network; IP Address problems!

I am trying to connect to wireless networks using the AirPort built into my MacBook Pro. There are two specific networks I am trying to connect to, both are WEP protected. I know the passwords and can get into each of them but I cannot connect to the internet, which is the main reason for connecting to them in the first place! When I go into System Preferences and click on Network, I see that next to AirPort it says I am connected to the network but may not be able to connect to the internet because my computer has a Self Assigned IP address. I assume this means my computer is not receiving an IP address from the network. I am set on full auto with DHCP. So what's wrong? Please Help!!!

That indicates that the MacBook Pro did not successfully communicate with the DHCP server on the network. Do those networks have access control (MAC address filtering) enabled? If so, the best solution is to reconfigure the base station so that this feature is disabled. This adds no real security since MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned.
If you can't disable access control, you will need to add the MAC address of the wireless interface of your MacBook Pro to the list of allowed clients.

Need help connecting to BEFW11S4 wireless network

A friend I visit often has a BEFW11S4 router. Other friends who visit connect immediately to the unsecured wireless network. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons I'm unable to connect with either of my laptops, so have to plug in the LAN. This is the only place I've ever had a problem connecting to a wireless network.
My laptops are Toshiba Satellites, running Windows XP Home & Office, respectively. Sometimes they won't even recognize the network, or when they do, just won't connect. I've gone through the tutorial and all settings numerous times, turned off the firewall, turned off Norton and still no luck. Any help getting me connected is appreciated. Thanks.

In your computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete any existing entry for your friend's network. Reboot your computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and add your friends SSID. Then select this SSID and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should login automatically when computer boots up.
Hope this helps.

Can I use Airport Express to connect device that needs wired ethernet to my wireless network?

I have DirecTV, which uses a broadband adapter to get its on-demand content off the internet. Time was my internet modem was near enough to the DVR that I could have an ethernet cable to the adapter. Now they are about 40 feet apart across the kitchen and living room. Is there any way I could use an Airport Express at the DVR as a wireless node to feed to the adapter through its ethernet port?

If the AirPort Express is an 802.11n version, and it has been configured to "extend" an Apple network, or "join" another wireless network, the Ethernet port is enabled, so an Ethernet device could be connected to the port on the Express.
Keep in mind that this will not be a true Ethernet signal, since it will depend on the quality of the wireless link between the main router and the Express.
There may....or may not....be sufficient bandwidth if you intend to download high definition movies, and your wireless network may really slow down when downloads are occurring, so CRMDVM's suggestion to understand the store's return policy in advance would be a good thing to investigate.

Help with wireless network set up on 8820

Can someone please give me some help before I pull the rest of my hair out!
I am trying to connect my 8820 and also an 8110 to our home wireless network, each time I go through the set up procedure and find the network, put in the correct WEP key and then try and connect it gives me the following error messages on both phone "Device failed to associate with the AP." can some one please tell me where I am going wrong?
I have changed the home network from WPA to WEP as there is no option for WPA in the settings.
Help Please.
Many thanks in advance

I am unable to connect a 8820 on my network with same message noted by User: leomyles. I am able connect my Bold 9000 without any difficulty. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would not have thought there should be such a problem within 2 Blackberry models.
I too need help on resolving this issue. I would have chosen another model for my staff had I known such a problem existed.

I cannot printany web pages or emails over a wireless home network. My OS is windows 7 and am using an Epson printer. I know I have the home network set up correctly as i can print files over the network.

I cannot print any email or web pages over a wireless home network. I know that I can print my files over this network, just not anything from the web or emails using Firefox. I am using Windows 7 and printing to an Epson.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I set up the wireless home network.

The most likely reason for this is that the wrong printer is chosen in the File->Print window.
In Firefox, go to File->Print and click the dropdown box with printer names. Ensure that the correct network printer is selected, then try printing again.

Hey guys, I don't want to hijack this thread, but I am having a simlar problem I have posted in another thread - no one has responded yet though, you may be able to help (http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=26206).
My problem is very similar to this guy's, but if I put my laptop on the wired side, I can fileshare. When it is wireless, I can't. I have AP Isolation disabled.

Mac Dummy here. Need to know what the standard Display Setting is...

Hi, I just got a macbook and i know nothing about MAC. Anyways, I was playing with system preferences and by accident changed the display settings mode. I want it back to the origional way it was. What setting am I supossed to be on. Thanks in advance. Kim

You weren't very specific, but I have an idea of which settings you mean. The resolution should be 1200 x 800, colors should be "Millions," and if you click the "Color" tab in display preferences, it should be set on "Color LCD."

Need to get .ENV and reports.sh set up correctly for 9i/WebUtil

We have been editing default.env, a app-specific version of default.env called duris.env, and reports. sh, trying to fix the conflict between Forms WebUtil and Reports in 9.0.2.0.1. Now, it's to the point that I can't even run Reports from Forms without core dumping(direct URL calls to Reports work fine) .
I am pasting the contents of these 3 files into this note, in hopes someone can look at them and tell me why Reports won't even run from Forms any more. Any suggestions are welcome. My email is [email protected].

http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6174105.html
However I don't have a selection called share Windows in my sharing prefs, nor do I have a Utility called Directory Access

I'm unable to browse the internet at home on my Macbook Pro (10.6.3), even though it shows I am connected to the wireless network with full bars.

This problem began weeks ago, when I suddenly couldn't browse the Internet at home despite being fully connected to the network. The network was a private, password-protected wireless network set up through a Netgear router.
I have spent hours troubleshooting and have tried multiple fixes including resetting PRAM, deleting and re-creating Airport, deleting and re-creating networks, changing IP and DNS, etc. to no avail. My roommate's PC works perfectly fine on the same wireless network.
This seems to be an issue with networks I use long-term. I can connect fine to networks at Starbucks, etc. for short-term use. Also, while trying to troubleshoot my connection issues on my home network over the last few weeks, I'd been using my apartment complex's public wireless connection (no password) with no issues. All of a sudden, I am having the same exact issue with that network. It's like something just snaps and maybe gets configured wrong after a few weeks or months of use.
I am desperate to find a fix, since now I can't use the internet AT ALL while at home and need it for work.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Connecting to Windows Computer via wireless network (Password issue)

I have a wireless network set up at my house, and we all can see each other's shared computers, and the windows machines can connect to each other without a problem.. but my Mac cannot connect to them, but they can connect to me. When I goto "Connect to Server" it asks me for a username and password for the windows machine.. I don't know what to do from here!!! Please help, thanks a bunch

In your Sharing panel, did you go into "Options" and check the box for sharing via SMB?
Then from XP you should be able to reach the Mac via //(ip# or DNS name)/
and you should see the available shares.

I'm looking to extent my wireless network.

I have a wireless network running off an airport extreme. Can I use an airport express as a remote base station rather than using another airport extreme. I will be needing to share the internet by ethernet from this remote base station and will also be plugging in a USB hardrive. The remote base station though will need to connect via the wireless network from the airport extreme.
I currently have a ethernet printer and a network HDD (used as my timecapsule backup drive) hanging off the extreme all of which works well.
cheers

You cannot use an Airport Express with a USB hard drive. Only printers are supported. You can extend a wireless network, however, as long as the Airport Express is in range of the AEBS.

I need to know if my wireless & networks setting is correct
