Issues getting on the net with wlan0 [SOLVED]

Hello!
I've managed to be able to see my network (if that count's for anything) but can not get on to it.
I installed netcfg, went in to /etc/network.d/examples/wpa.example and entered in all of my details - I then cp'd that over to /etc/networkd.d/ - it's just been renamed to wpa.
I now dhcpcd wlan0 but it just gives me "already running on pid 2546" so i kill 2546 && dhcpcd wlan0 and it times out with warn - using IPV4LL address 169.254.40.16.
I have also tried iwconfig wlan0 Tony passkey - but that also does not work. Spitting out "Tony : command not found: - however, the archwiki says to enter it this way.
iwlist wlan0 scan | less comes out with master netgear and Tony - both the same. Tony looks a bit like -
Cell 02 - Address: 00.14.6C.AC.6E.8C
ESSID: "Tony"
Mode:Master
Channel:11
Frequency:2.462 GHz (channel 11)
Quality=55/64 Signal level=23/65
Encryption key = On
IE: WPA Version 1
Group cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers TKIP
Auth Suites : PSK
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure you did this, but you have to '# netcfg wlan0 wpa' once you set up your profile (you don't need to use iwconfig or dhcpcd yourself anymore) or add net-profiles to your rc.conf to connect automatically.
Please add [SOLVED] to the subject-line of this thread.
Zl.
No, it's simply "netcfg <profilename>" - no need to specify wlan0.
So if I want to connect to the profile uniwireless, I would do:
netcfg uniwireless

Help me please! I can't get on the internet with my new phone

Can someone please help me. I purchased my Blackberry Pearl from an on-line seller and it was suposed to be new. The problem comes when I try to set up my e-mail account....I go to my e-mail set-up option and the only one that it gives me is " I want to use a work e-mail account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" . Obviously I do not want to do this but I have no other options. I can either hit close or next and next ask me for a password from my Enterprise Server administrator. I contacted Verizon and after much run around they finally told me that this phone was connected to another Blackberry account. I don't know if they really knew what they were talking about or if they just did not want to really help me because I did not upgrade my account and buy my phone from them. It sounds to me like they are trying to say the phone is stolen since they are saying that it is connected with another Blackberry account but if that were the case then Verizon would no be able to activate the phone and I can get it activated and make and receive calls but I cannot get on the internet with it. What good is a smart phone if you can't do everything it is supposed to do?

Hello,
Actually, what they told you is accurate. BIS accounts are what enable additional services (including Personal email). BIS accounts are all managed by the carriers. One BB, as defined by it's unique PIN, can have only one BIS account on one carrier in the world. If a BIS account exists somewhere else for a specific BB, then a carrier cannot create another account for it. That is the way it works. One of the reasons is of course to prevent the use of stolen items. That's not the only reason, but it's all irrelevant...if a BIS account exists somewhere for that BB, VZW cannot create one for it.
What you need to do is to contact the seller and hope they are reputable. They need to contact their carrier and have that BIS account shut down. Only then might VZW be able to create a BIS account for you.
Good luck!

I work in an area where we use T one lines for internet. I do have an iphone and am able to get on the internet on it. Will I be able to get on the internet with an IPAD 3 that I have recently purchased.

I work in a company that has only t one connection for internet. There is no interet srvice provided in this area. I do however have and Iphone three and have no trouble getting on the internet with it. Will it be the same for the IPAD 3 that I just purchased?? Want to be able to use the IPAD 3 at work and get on the interent and if I can on the Iphone 3 I'm hoping the IPAD 3 will also. Any thoughts?

Either your phone is getting on wifi or you're using the cellular network to access the internet. If it's wifi, then you just need to connect the iPad to the same wifi. If you're using the phone's cellular connection to access the net, then you'll either need to get a tethering plan to use your phone as a mobile hotspot for your iPad, or get a device like the Mifi, which is a portable cellular wifi hotspot

Try using this article to help with your iPad not showing up in iTunes---
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 -This deals with the device not being recognized in iTunes for Windows
The following steps work well with iPod but i would try them for help with your iPad issue:
Try connecting your iPad to another USB port directly on the computer. Verify that you're connecting it to a high-powered USB 2.0 port on your computer to be sure iPad is getting power. If you're connecting to a Windows laptop computer through USB, connect the laptop to a power outlet before connecting your iPad. Also, see iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB to be sure that your USB ports are supplying enough power.
Avoid connecting to an external USB hub. If a hub must be used, make sure the hub is USB 2.0, and that it has its own power supply. Also, make sure the hub is connected to a high-power USB 2.0 port on your computer.
If the issue persists, try disconnecting other USB devices from the computer such as printers, cameras, scanners, external hard drives, and USB hubs to determine if there is a conflict in the USB chain.

Is the computer the one the device normally syncs with?
If not, sync with the computer it normally syncs with.
If it is, place the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

Trying to get on the wireless with old G5

Hi,
I have one of the first G5's and have been on the internet using a ethernet cable to my
Airport Extreme.
I bought a new computer and like to put the old G5 in another place of the house.
Can anybody tell me how I can get on the wireless with this computer?
Can I use an Airport Express and plug it into the ethernet port or do I need more stuff?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Unless you can or wish to have an appropriate Apple wireless card installed, it ought to be possible to use the latest 802.11n (draft) AirPort Express as a wireless client the way that you have in mind (see the ProxySTA part of this article).
Otherwise, a dedicated wireless Ethernet bridge (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N or Netgear WGE111) could be an alternative. WPA security may or may not be supported (with or without a firmware update), so check the specifications.

I have a macbook and its hooked up to my airport express, however, I have a 5 year old dell pc that is connected to my wireless network, yet i'm unable to get on the internet with the pc. Does something need to be adjusted on the pc?

I have a macbook and its hooked into my airport express. I get on the internet through my network with no problem. Now I have a pc that says its connected to my network through airport express, yet I can't get on the internet with it - its around 5 years old with Windows XP. What should be adjusted on the pc ?

I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

Yes, they can play games - there are hundreds if not thousands of games available in the iTunes Store. Beware of the "free" games; many are free for the base game but charge for things like additional levels, "coins" etc. and those paid add-ons can add up quickly, to dozens or even in some cases hundreds of dollars. I'd strongly suggest you set up restrictions on the iPad to prevent your children from making unauthorized purchases. See:
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ht/Using-Iphone-Content-Restrictions.htm
You will need an Internet provider of some sort; Apple is not a provider and so the iPad does not include a data service. You can either use a home Internet connection with a WiFi access point (aka "router") or you can get an iPad with WiFi+Cellular and sign up for a data plan with a cell carrier. WiFi through a home Internet service will probably be cheaper.

I'm trying to set up a sync account but when I get to the window with the "Create a new account" and "Connect" nothing happens when I push either of the buttons.

By the way, this is in the brand new Firefox 4, not an extension.

Your boot drive is damaged in some way. If you have an original installation disc, you can boot from that and run Disk Utility. From DU you can select your internal hard drive ("Macintosh HD" is the name Apple puts on it - you may have renamed yours) and select "Verify Disk". If errors come up, try "Repair Disk". If it repairs, then you should be able to restart and boot from it. If it doesn't show up or won't repair, your drive is probably hosed.

Have one WiFi signal into the apartment for my Air, and another wifi signal for my 5c phone plan. Both from the same provider. Expensive. Is there a way to 'combine' WiFi signals so I pay only for one, but can get on the Internet with my Air?

Roamingnome, thanks for your response. Although I have been a Bell (Canada) customer for my WiFi signal for years, the 5c and its necessary mobility plan, is very recent. Some years ago, Bell supplied its own ‘router’ for my computer, and claimed that it was possible to get their WiFi signal only with the router they supplied. When I recently received the 5c, I wondered if the plan it requires, which is within the much wider, overall Bell zone, could be used somehow to get my Air online - some sort of tethering? - that allows me to give up the Air WiFi service and router all together, but still get the Air connected. Here in Canada, Bell Mobility and other Bell services are very separate. Any suggestions appreciated.

Why cant I get on the internet with my 3gs?

I was using a samsung focus windows 7 phone with my simcard then my friend upgraded to an iphone 4 and I got his old 3gs to get away from the horror that is the windows phone. Now I cant get on the internet with the phone unless im on wifi but I can still make phonecalls and text with the phone. Do I have to call apple to activate with my sim or something? I was under the impression it would just work?

The lock icon is the screen rotation lock. It has nothing to do with this.
Did you inform AT&T that you have upgraded to an iPhone? The data plan must be provisioned specifically for an iPhone in order to work correctly.
If all you did was take your old sim and pop it in an iPhone, it's not going to work.
