Internet access in a football stadium (large crowds)

I have no problem accessing the internet with the iPhone 3G...that is, until I get into a football stadium. I have five bars and 3G showing, but I can't access the internet, place a call, or receive/send text messages. As soon as I leave the stadium, all phone functions return to normal.
I noticed there was a symbol in the upper right hand corner that looks like an arrow head pointing to the right. I see people all around me with iPhone and Blackberry phones with AT&T getting full service...what is the problem here?
Thanks,

That's most likely the case, yes. At large events like that, both cell towers and Wi-Fi hotspots can easily get overloaded. Some users can connect some of the time, but that's random luck.

No internet access in football stadium

In and around the Arsenal Emirates football stadium (in London) I cannot get any internet access at all. A free public wifi is available but using that, or switching back to 3G, I cannot get any net access at all. An error saying the server is not available is the only message I get on Safari.
Would this be a case of too many users trying to access limited net access or something else? Someone with me last night had a LG phone and they could access the net ok (though I'm not familiar with how his phone works).
TIA.

As a stockholder, I would like see the development of iTV with Retina display and integrating Siri control, internet access, and iTunes apps. This new product would be a large screen, thin wall mounted television, much like a oversided iPad.

Do you think this product is possible?

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

Restrict wireless internet access on certain periods of time

Hello,
We need help on setting up a network with some restrictions for the attached clients.
We're quite new at setting up a network at this size.
Used devices:
1x SRP 540 router
1x SG 300-10P managed switch
4x AP 541N accesspoint
What we want to do:
1. Around 100 laptops and desktop computers need wireless internet access, but some of them on limited times during the day.
2. Not all wireless devices are allowed on using the wireless network.
3. There are also wired desktops that don't need restrictions.
4. We need the possibility to restrict most of the wireless devices to access certain websites or use certain applications on those computers to use internet access during the times that the computers are allowed to access the internet.
5. We want to restrict the clients for using torrents or other possibilities of downloading illegal content.
What we were able to do:
1. The accesspoints (AP 541N) are clustered to achieve 1 large wireless network.
2. Only mac-adresses that are listed in the accesspoints are capable of using the wireless network. Other mac-adresses are not allowed to use the accesspoints.
What we tried already:
1. adding the mac-adresses for the accesspoints to the list of "internet access policy" in the router. Internet access seemed still possible during periods the access wasn't supposed to be possible.
2. adding the mac-adresses from all clients in this internet access policy seemed useless. Only 10 Internet Access Policies seem to be possible to program. 8 mac-adresses per policy. Knowing there are (at least) two policies needed to restrict a group of 8 macs to access the internet in 24 hours (because blocking the internet from f.e. 22u in the evening to 6 in the morning is not possible because 6 is smaller than 22 - or 10PM).
Besides, after blocking internet access, we need also to write policies in blocking some websites or keywords.
Thanks already for your guidelines.
Wim

what about the thoughts of radius for authentication which is connected to active directory for your wireless users. Then have those people you must limit access too during the day in their own security group that's only allowed to login to the domain during certain times of the day.
To limit sites or what they can do on the Internet will require a separate solution for content/URL filtering. Then you can make policies and apply to your security groups in active directory block by category, keyword, and so on.
This is all great assuming you can get these clients into AD.
Just a quick thought, hope it helps.

Internet access

Hi Experts,
Could anybody please help me to configure network in my x86 solaris 10 machine to access internet what are the steps need to be followed.
Thanks,
KK.

Hi oaklandvale. I hope you were still able to enjoy the ballgame without your internet access. What stadium or park in Oakland were you at that was giving you data trouble? Were you only having trouble with websites or any applications that needed data too? Any errors? Sometimes it may be difficult to get strong signal during a major sporting event because of how many fantastic customers are trying to use the service at the same time. If you are trying to connect to a secured WiFi network but don't have a password, turning off your WiFi http://vz.to/1dFlgyY may help to lessen the mobile data interference. Making sure Cellular Data is turned on http://vz.to/12VTA3Z is a pretty good idea too.

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPAD2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my children?

How many ghz should I get if I plan on using my IPad2 for internet access, email, facebook and games for my daughters children?

Ghz is the CPU speed and that is fixed for each iPad model.
The GB is the number of Gigabytes of storage.
I had a 32G iPad1 and filled it up with 5000 songs, 20,000 photos and about 50 apps. It doesn't sound like you will need anything larger than that. If you are just talking about a few dozen apps and email, the 16G version should be adequate.

Very Limited Internet access - Download

I am now a Full Creative Cloud member. Can I download the complete Master Collection Creative Cloud Suite package for easy install onto my computer? I have very limited internet where the work computer is. I can get broadband from another location and would like to fully download the package from there and then take to the work computer for install. Is this possible? Or is it possible to ask for the software on disc?

G'day Mylenium,
Cheers mate for the link, however this does not offer the 'most-up-to-date' versions of all the software on offer as a paid 'Cloud' member.
Surely there is a way for Cloud members to download the most up to date paid software without restrictions for easy install onto a computer that does not have or very little internet access?
My office computer is located in the country and the only internet available, and very on and off due to poor reception, is 3G mobile coverage. At $49 per month for only 3GBs, this is very expensive, so we use the internet sparingly.
I do have access to a broadband else where to download content, but I am not allowed nor is it suitable to take along the WorkStation Rig to this broadband location to install downloaded software.
I am happy to download the occasional update and to have the software do a monthly check in for licencing, but to have to download large files is just not possible.
I must be missing something from Adobe, surely they have addressed this concern for others before?
Cheers
Michael

Iphone6 touch id stops internet access both wifi and cellular

iPhone 6 64GB iOS 8.0.2 Verizon - With Touch ID on (at least one fingerprint is configured), there are times when I depress HOME to wake the device and then try to use the fingerprint reading service, internet access stops both on wifi and cellular. Turning wifi off and on doesn't help. The wifi signal shows as OK. No subsequent internet access on either wifi or cellular. Have to restart the device (I hold the home and power buttons together until the Apple logo displays).
Right now, it is OK to not use Touch ID. In fact, since I specify how long to wait before locking the device it is actually more convenient to not use Touch ID.
However, when Apple Pay is available this will be a significant problem.
Any advice? Thank you.

I have not verified this, but I have read that the ios 6 ipad uses either the cell network or the wifi network, but not both at the same time.
You should be able to test this.
I'm not enough of a network tech to know if you could get this to work, but there are mifi devices that do wifi to cellular.
Here is one example:
FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month! You do need to buy a wireless device at $39. There are ways of getting bonus megs. One gig of addition data costs $10 per month. I used about 10megs per hour of internet surfing.
When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections. On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button. FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
The performance seems about like my DSL connection.

FrameMaker 10 can't be activated without Internet access

The company for which I work recently bought a number of FrameMaker 10 licences. Several days after installing it, a message began to appear when FrameMaker was launched: "Unable to activate Adobe FrameMaker 10". The message goes on to say that product activation is required, we must connect to the internet to activate it, and we have 23 days to activate the product before it becomes disabled.
The problem is, the PCs on which it's installed are connected to a defence classified network which is not connected to the internet and cannot be under any circumstances. Removing the PCs from the network and connecting them to the internet is not an option, given our security requirements.
One of our technical support people contacted Adobe to find a way around this, and was told that if we won't connect to the internet we can't use the product.
This seems extraordinary. Many defence contractors must be using FrameMaker, and many will have the same security requirements as us. And the latest releases of FrameMaker have S1000D support -- an odd thing to include if Adobe wants to stop selling products to defence contractors, as appears to be the case.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Has anyone found a solution?

> XP support ends on April 8th.
And that's support of XP by MS, not Adobe ... as in "no more security patches", which means that your XP system is dead meat for the first zero-day exploit that comes out after 2014-04-01. Predictions are this will happen within 24 hours of last patch. That said, so many enterprise environments are still on XP, that there is a credible chance that MS will reneg on the threat and keep patching for a while. Don't count on it.
And if you can move off XP, Windows7 is probably a safer target than Window8 (soon to be Windows8.1, for which the RTM, essential for ISV testing, only just became available today).
Win7 supports XP Mode (32-bit XP virtual machine) on Ultimate, Professional and Enterprise. You might not need that for FM10, but you might need it for other apps. Win8 does not support XP mode. XP mode, of course, is also EOL on 2014-04-01, but you could probably configure it to have no internet access, isolating it from the threats to a large extent.

Configuring Internet Access Policy on WRT160NV3 Router

Need some help configuring the schedule on my N Router. I would like to restrict access to the internet from a certain PC on my network (I have entered the system MAC address in the required field) and would like to deny internet access from 8:00pm to 6:00am. Every time I enter the hours, I receive a pop up that says "The end time must be larger than the start time". Can anyone advise on how to set this up to restrict access during those times?

You cannot configure a rule through midnight. Set up two policies one from 8pm to 1155pm. The other from 12am till 6am.

Guest Internet access in the Enterprise

We have set up guest internet access in our enterprise using GRE tunneling with a PIX. I'm trying to determine the best way to do authentication for users on this guest network.
I think I can do RADIUS (using ACS) with the PIX as an NAS. Question is can I use a different type of server (such as MS IAS)? Can I use either one to utilize an existing MS Active Directory database?
If I use radius on the pix for authentication, a login prompt pops up when a user tries to use the web. Is there a way to redirect users to a web page first and have the login embedded on the page? This is done in hotels now and I don't know if there's a Cisco solution for this.

JetPack 4G LTE connects but "no internet access" message

Would appreciate any help.
My JetPack 4G LTE mi-fi connects to the internet (3G or 4G) and shows that my devices are connected to it. However, I cannot get on the internet.
1) I have three different devices - two laptops and a smartphone. All three have the same problem.
2) I have a Sprint Mi-Fi that I use for a different business. All three devices can and do connect to that device and work properly on the internet during the same sessions in which they cannot connect on the Verizon JetPack. So it is not the devices I am trying to connect with.
3) The exact same thing has happened several times over the course of about 4 days and in two cities and two states - all three devices unable to connect via JetPack but connect fine through Sprint Mi-Fi. So it is not location or local network issue.
4) LED display on JetPack, in all instances, show a strong 3G or 4G (depending on where I am) signal and also that all three devices are connected.
5) Message on laptop wireless area shows connection but says "no internet access".
6) Under the wireless status or details, it says (on the list of info): "IPv4 no internet access" and "IPv6 no internet access".
7) I have done a battery pull with no effect.
8) I have done a factory reset (power up, remove cover, press reset button until long green light and short green light) with no effect.
9) After both battery pull and factory reset, I still show connected to 3G, all three devices connected, no internet access, and all three devices then work on the Sprint mi-fi.
10) Symptoms started about 4 days ago and have not changed since - it is not a come-and-go problem. It is not working at any time.
I am hoping to gosh to avoid a long ordeal with tech-support at Verizon. This is a company-issued device, so I could ask my company to take it up with Verizon, but I work remotely and access to the IT department is not that simple either. thought I would see if I am missing something simple. I hope I've given enough info for someone brighter than myself here can spot something I could do.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for your response. I am having trouble logging back into this site to respond (I never created a User ID and don't know my cell phone number as it is a mi-fi and not a cell). I reregisterd for the forums only under a slight ID variation and will continue to do so for this dialog. Thanks very much.
The back of the Jetpack says SSID: "MiFI4620L Jetpack 89B4". I am currently using the device (since the problems began last week) in zip codes 49504 and 49503 - same symptom both places.
Thanks again.

Internet access problems and viewing video on internet

I have very limited interet access most of the time. I get a message: "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. ..." I have no problem with email and other features of the phone during this time. The signal at the top of my phone says "GSM". When I am able access the internet, it give me a different signal (can't remember what that is, however). Even then, I cannot view most video clips, such as YouTube clips. They will not load all the way. It states, "Error has occurred in attempting to play media." Help!

I have unlimited internet access, so that's not the problem. Right when I got the phone, I replaced the original data card with a 4G card and enabled mass storage. I have (since my first post) had more access capability by enabling the WiFi (da) which finds my wireless connection at home. I've also been able to view a video clip, not successfully all the way through, however. During viewing, the phone appears to crash, i.e. the screen goes white and then it takes 3-5 minutes for it to reboot. This has also happened when the phone has not even been being used. Also, as I was surfing the net, the phone asked if I wanted to enable Javascript which I did. Is there anything else that I need to enable or do to the phone in order to have a more pleasant experience using the internet and viewing video clips?

Internet Access to Portal located in DMZ

I've seen questions on the forum regarding gaing Internet access to the Oracle Portal located in the DMZ. This answer does not resolve the issue of having multple DADs to access your portal like abc.com and xyz.com. For that see note:162044.1 on metalink. http://metalink.oracle.com.
If you registered a domain name e.g. abc.com and have the portal up and running in the DMZ. Your local network should be accessing the portal just fine. Your computer name for example is portal. The URL translates into http://portal.abc.com. You opened the ports in the DMZ to allow access and wonder why you get partial portal pages, no login, etc. It's becase users can't resolve the DNS entry for portal.abc.com. Call your ISP and get an "A Record" entry. After a few hours and propogation of the A Record, users on the Internet can successfuly access your site. This A Record should be free.
Good luck
Kellan

Hi,
You've to open the ITS for internet for accessing things from Portal too. As I've told you in previous post, the request goes directly to ITS server (http://itsserver.com/scripts..) and not as (http://myportal.com/scripts..). The idea of having it via Portal will be to mask the URL of ITS , which will not be visible (except for time you click on iview which will display in status bar). In any case, you can directly acces ITS as what you've told, however you give the proxy.
Regards,
Siva

Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?
