  • Connecting laptop to internet via mobile phone

    I would like to connect my Toshiba Portege laptop to the internet via my Nokia 6280 phone using bluetooth.
    I have a connection between the two using nokia pc suit but cannot get internet connection to work.
    The phone connects to the internet OK. I did try setting the connection up once but the could only get it to use IR the laptop wanted to know loads of information that I did not have, I think it was all set up on the phone via text message download.
    Anyway, any information/experiances you have would be much appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum!
    White screen on Nokia not good news, try removing battery for 10 minutes and replace, if no luck a visit to Nokia Care Point may be needed.

  • Laptop to Internet via iPhone over Bluetooth?

    Has anyone experimented with getting a laptop on the Internet using an iPhone (connected to EDGE) via a Bluetooth link to the laptop?
    Thanks

    I think bluetooth should be upgraded to allow to use
    iPhone to connect to the Internet with any laptop
    (i.e. Powerbooks or MacBooks), this is the only
    feature I am really missing with the iPhone! Do you
    think will be any software upgrade or third party
    software allowing to do that? Thanks for sharing.
    Wireless access from the iPhone is $20 a month. AT&T's unlimited access for laptops is $80 a month, and for other devices (PDAs, Blackberry, etc; the TOS forbids you to use the PDA as a wireless modem for a laptop) is $50 a month. Thus, if the iPhone COULD be used as a modem it would undercut all of the other wireless data services.
    Anyway, you wouldn't really want wireless laptop access over EDGE; believe me, I've tried it. If you really need wireless access get a 3G aircard with a separate data plan. It's really worth the price to have DSL speeds over the cellular network.

  • Connecting laptop to internet via cell phone

    I heard i can use my cell phone to connect my laptop to the internet, i currently have a lg envy touch , with a 25 megabyte plan which would not be enough as I am wanting to get rid of current dsl plan and wanting to use my wireless plan as my only paid source of internet connection in my home. 
    I can upgrade plan to unlimited for 29.99 per month which is what i currently pay for my home dsl.  I was told by verizon rep i could use a smartphone ( droid/ droid incredible) to set up a wireless connection in which i could also use my ipod and nintendo dsi to connect to internet as well at the same time as the laptop.
    So my thinking is i add another line to my 2100 minute family plan for additional monthly cost of 9.99 get the droid for 199.99 with the unlimited plan of 29.99 bringing my total monthly bill to 170.00 minus taxes. I currently only use about 900-1000 minutes but the savings of dropping minutes just doesnt seem worth it to me as I have children on my plan and their minutes will increase at some point and I would rather be locked in to a plan that gives me more than needed.
    So I am wondering if others on this forum could give me their opinion/advise?
    Does anyone else use the unlimited 29.99 plan as their only source of internet connection? and how fast/slow etc?
    If it matters I will be using the internet connection in Pasadena Texas and mainly we use the internet for general searches on basic info, job searches, facebook,  ipod music, no gaming or anything complicated, just a typical basic internet family use.
    Thank you so much!

    In addition to the unlimited $29.99 data plan, you would also need a $29.99 tethering plan, so it would cost you $60 a month - and the connection would not be as good as your DSL.  And we use our DSL to connect to a router and have several laptops and desktops using our DSL, which would not work with a tethered connection.  My advice - skip the tethering and keep the DSL.

  • New iMAC - want to connect PC Laptop to Internet via iMAC Airport

    Hello - I have a new IMAC and the Internet connection to the IMAC is fine but I'm having trouble establishing a wireless network.
    The store told me that I could use the Airport built into the MAC as a wireless router so that my PC laptop can access the Internet as well. My PC laptop is running Windows 2000 - and I have used it with a wireless router previously.
    I can see the iMAC wireless network connection in my laptop's available network; however, I'm unable to connect to it.
    Also, my IMAC system properties for Airport indicate that the wireless network is unavailable.
    I've not selected any security settings - unless there's some default settings that I'm not aware of.
    Advice or suggestions please???

    The store told me that I could use the Airport built into the MAC as a wireless router so that my PC laptop can access the Internet as well.
    That's correct. You will be using your Mac OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share your iMac's wired Internet connection wirelessly, using the iMac's AirPort, to your PC laptop. However, you will not be able to use wireless security, as the only option available (WEP), for Internet Sharing, will only work with other Macs.
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
    Enable Software Firewall - iMac
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    - Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] iMac > (wireless) > PC laptop
    Setup Port Order - iMac
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    - Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
    - Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection - iMac
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing - iMac
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    - Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
    - To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    - AirPort Options
    -- Network Name: <anything you want>
    -- Channel: Automatic
    -- Click OK
    - Click Start

  • Lost connection of 2 client laptops to internet via LAN on WRT320N wireless-N dual channel router

    The connection of almost 2 yr. old router to DSL modum was unstable recently. They're hardwaired to my desktop. A Cisco customer rep recommended downloading an "upgrade firmware" for the unit, and I did that. It seemed to have made the internet connection stable for the desktop, but now I can't connect the both 2 laptops to the network. The network and its properties are detected by each of them, but it appears the internal setting(s) are now out of sync with those of the router. Any help.      

    Assuming your two laptops are wireless, after you upgraded the firmware an reset the router you have to reconfigure it.  You have to input your wireless network settings again and make them match with your laptops.  Has this been done?

  • I am unable to connect my ipad to the internet via wifi, when asked for my password I get message "unable toI ge join network" however my laptop is able to access the internet using similar procedures and in the same physical location.?

    I am unable to connect my IPad to the internet via WiFi, when asked for a password then attempt to join I get the messag "unable to join the network" however  if I use my laptop in  the same physical locationand using similar procedures I am able to conect.?

    What router are you using? make/model/version
    What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
    If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

  • Connect mac mini to internet via windows phone

    hallo, how can i connect Mac mini to internet via my Windows Phone?

    You are going to have to buy an external modem.  They make ones that plug into the USB.  Apple does not make one so you will have to buy a 3rd party modem.  I would read the reviews before making the purchase to make sure you buy one that someone has tested with a mac.

  • HT4623 After ios update on my ipad mini i am unable to connect to internet via cellular connection

    i Have update ios 7.0.2 on my ipad mini. But after update of ios 7.0.2 i am unable to connect to internet via cellulau connection. Cellular connection appears on my screen but i get error as "Could not activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service". Cellular connection was working prior to ios 7.0.2 update. Please help.

    GOT MINE FIXED -
    THE 7.0.3 update reported my iPhone as LOST or STOLEN  to Verizon.
    They suspended my iPhone service immediately (as I would expect them to) and THAT is why I couldn't get on.
    Called Verizon wireless - they restored me in 30 seconds - EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN.
    They said "we've been doing this ALL MORNING."
    Hope this works for others, too!
    You blow bright orange chunks, Microsoft, er, I mean, Apple.

  • Help, I cannot connect to the internet via airport with either my Imac or I-Pad.  Connecting via ethernet works okay for Imac.  I can connect wirelesssly with my windows laptop.  I have reset my router, created a new network. It was all okay on Monday

    Normally I have my IMac, I-Pad and Windows Laptop all working on my home network via wi-fi. This week I find that I cannot access the inetrnet on my IMac or I-pad via wi-fi but I can connect to the internet via wi-fi with my windows based laptop.
    The airport diagnostics (reds/yellows) indcate that I am connected
    I can access the internet if I plug my IMac into the router via an ethernet cable
    I have restarted the IMac and the I-Pad, rebooted the router and created a new network.  None of these changes has made a difference.  Does anyone have any ideas please?

    I tried connecting my Ipod Touch 5th generation to the internet via ad-hoc from my windows 7 laptop. My iPod was connected to the internet but just in a moment. Then it disconnects. I tried so many other option such as creating another ad-hoc from other  laptop but still the same result. Is there something wrong with my iPod? this is so frustrating. I've been using ipod touch 4th gen before I got the 5th and connecting to the internet via ad-hoc was never a problem for me.  Would someone help me?

  • Thinkpad Laptop X4F -Will not connect to internet via wifi

    I'm not computer savvy so please keep replies dummied down if at all possible. I used this laptop last on Friday and booted it today and cannot connect to the internet via wifi. No problems whatsoever before this. Checked with other computers and devices in the house and the wireless network and internet are working fine.
    Checked this laptop and wifi is on (airplane mode off), says its connected to the router (in connections) but icon in tray just scrolls and says "identifying". Using the LAN works fine. Looked at wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.
    This computer is running windows 8 which I'm still having trouble navigating through.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you tried turning off the Wifi and then back on? Windows 8 should have that if you press the start key and typing in Wi-Fi. Click on Settings when you search and something for connections should appear. Turn off WiFi then back on to see if that helps.

  • Connect N96 to internet via Laptop by Wi-Fi

    Hi,
    I have a laptop connected to internet via ADSL USB Modem, there is a wi-fi network created on the laptop that I use to connect an other laptop to the internet. When I connect my N96 to that network, everything works great exept when trying to access a web site, it says "General: Feature not supported!". Is that kind of connection not supported or what ?!

    On what OS? Did you enable Internet Connection Sharing and http browsing in the advanced settings of ICS? This is a nice app for W7.

  • Macbook connectivity to internet via airport extreme is flakey

    Hi,
    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and I already own a June 2009 Mac book pro w/ snow leopard.
    I always run software updater, so the Airport 2009-002 patch/fix is on this system.
    I have a strange problem with my connectivity to the internet from my mac via the airport extreme.
    Very regularly (and seemingly randomly) the laptops connectivity to the internet will drop out... i.e. websites won't respond, big websites (like google) don't respond to pings or anything. While these internet "drop outs" are happening, i can jump onto my PC (which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet) and the internet is working fine.
    Also, Wifi never drops out through this whole situation. This means that while I can't access the internet, my reception is still FULL and I can SAMBA connect to my PC and with other computers on the network.
    It's very strange that purely internet via the Airport Extreme is having these issues.
    The Airport is in Bridge mode (which means the ADSL modem/router is the DHCP server). The ADSL modem/router does not have wifi active or anything connected to it (other than the airport).
    I've never had any issues with my internet - this is the first. My only real option if this can't get resolved is to return the airport, as this is inhibiting me from working from my laptop.
    Anyone else experience similar issues?
    Can someone recommend any course of action to work around this issue?
    Is there anymore information this forum needs to debug this problem? How can I obtain this info?
    I hope someone can help.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    I seem to be in a very similar predicament, however I'm served even worse:
    I'm loosing Internet connection over both LAN and WIFI. And the Airport Extreme does not detect the loss of connection even though the logging indicates the internal ntp client (trying to connect to time.euro.apple.com) fails (already on dns resolution).
    Currently, I'm dvlp-ing a shell script that checks 4 websites, and if all 4 are unaccessible, I launch an applescript that restarts my airport extreme basestation.
    This however does not always seems to solve the problem. Seemingly I would have to reset the modem.
    The problem can - according to me - not be provider related, since it does not occur when the TimeMachine is replaced by a SL-installed mac mini (that however cannnot function as router (yet)).
    Any hints ? anyone ?
    I previously had installed an Airport Extreme 10/100 version, which showed the same behaviour. Since the system was out of warranty, I decided to upgrade to a faster system, including TimeMachine, but unfortunately, the problem is still there.
    I'm guessing now it could be related to the router being configured in dhcp (getting its ip address over dhcp), but the server provides a static ip address (never changes),... and maybe here there's something fishy.
