NB 100: How to - Orange UK mobile broadband connection (icon 225 usb stick)

I've just managed to get my nb100 connected, here is how:
Step 1 - Register the SIM - instructions come with the device
Step 2 - network manager upgrade
#Right click on your network manager icon in the top right and select 'about'. If this is less than 0.7 (as was mine) upgrade is needed.
#upgrade to network manager >=0.7
>sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
#add the following to the end:
>deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
>deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/network-manager/ubuntu hardy main
#save, exit, run update manager, install updates and reboot. If network manager icon is missing - shut down completely. Should appear after turned back on.
Step 3 - Install the hso driver and ozerocdoff
locate and download the latest version (1.9 in my case) here: http://www.pharscape.org/forum/index.php?board=14.0
>cd Desktop/
>tar zxvf hso-1.9.tar.gz
>cd hso_26-v.19/
>sudo apt-get install build-essential
>sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
>make
>sudo make install
Locate and download ozerocdoff
>cd ../
>tar zxvf udev.tar.gz
>cd udev/
>sudo make install
Step 4 - Set up connection
Right click on network manager and select 'edit connections' > mobile broadband. Edit the connection listed and insert the following:
username: orange
password: orange
APN: orangeinternet
When you plug your icon 225 in it should now connect.
Pull the icon 225 out when you want to disconnect.. I tried using the disconnect option on the network manager and my notebook crashed..
Feel free to copy and improve this howto.

Droid A855 mobile broadband connect

So I am in need of using my droid as a mobile broadband connect to hook up to my laptop and it gave me the option to select it as a service (for $20) but I am not sure now how exactly to get it to sign on and what to do next? Is there a place to download instructions or do I just go into my settings and try it through there? I am so lost...sorry...

Good morning.
To use the Mobile Broadband Connect, you will need a USB cable, and you will also need a copy of VZAccess Manager. This is included in the Mobile Office Kit, BlackBerry / Smartphone box, or can be downloaded from www.vzam.net. Once it is downloaded successfully, you will be able to connect your Droid using the USB cable, to your PC or laptop. You will open VZAccess Manager, and then connect. You can also use this link for instructions to use VZAccess Manager.
If you need additional instructions or assistance, please send me a Private Message and I will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you,

Mobile Broadband Connect not working on x301

Hi
I definitely cannot get mobile broadband working on my UK x301
I have a fully updated system with all the Win7 Drivers (using both System update 4 and further manual downloads) and I found a Win 7 version of Mobile Broadband Connect however when loaded it hangs on Initialising... for ages and then complains that "the sim card present on the system cannot be read"
Can anyone help please?

That has been on issue ever since RC1. The Ericsson Broadband Modem only seems to work in specific combinations of older drivers. Also not every access connections version seems to behave nicely in combination with it. My success rate in configuring those has been approx 50% and I gave up.
I did manage a 100% success rate though with all most recent drivers + the specific 7uw706ww ericsson package from the beta website.
There's one catch though. This driver seems to be capped at 384Kbps e.g. stuck in UMTS mode.
For me that's enough to last until proper drivers come out, but it is higly irritating.

How do I share a MOBILE broadband connection through Time Capsule ?

Hello all.
I have one of those little USB stick Mobile Broadband Modem thingies that I plug into my i-Mac with 10.5.5 Leopard to get internet access. I discovered I can share the internet connection with my i-Phone using the ad-hoc internet connection sharing function in "System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing". This works fine as long as I am only trying to share with ONE device, eg my laptop, OR my i-Phone, and as long as I disconnect the ethernet cable connecting my i-Mac to my Time Capsule (otherwise Safari won't connect to any websites).
But. . . .
How do I share this Mobile Broad Band USB stick with ALL my network devices (i-Phone, Apple TV and Toshiba laptop) at the same time ?.
Should I :-
(1) Configure my Time Capsule to use NAT and "Share a Public IP Address" with the rest of the network ?
(2) Set the Time Capsule to use bridge mode and do the sharing in "System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing" ?
I could not get either to work.
I read an article on how to do this using a PC on Vista using something called "Port Forwarding", but has anyone achieved this trick in the Mac world ?

Shaun

Hello Tesserax.
I have the USB modem stick plugged into the back of my i-Mac, and yes I can set up an ad-hoc airport connection between my i-Mac and (say) my Apple TV, and share internet that way. This works but only if I disconnect the i-Mac ethernet cable from the Time Capsule. Presumably, this is because both the Mac and the Time Capsule are both trying to be routers ???
One of the British Mac Magazines explained that you should not try to use ad-hoc Internet Sharing (via System Preferences) whilst NAT and "Share an Internet Connection" (via Airport Utility) is turned on because they are alternative (and mutually exclusive) methods of sharing an internet connection.
I will try setting Airport Utility to use "Bridge Mode" instead of "Share a Public IP Address" and see what happens. I assume Time Capsule will still issue DHCP IP addresses in "Bridge Mode " ?? but hopefully the conflict between the Time Capsule and the ad-hoc i-Mac airport network will cease because NAT is off.
Remember, this is supposedly possible using PC computers on Vista . . .

Why gnome-ppp establish mobile broadband connection,not networkmanager

I am using usb radio modem AirPlus MCD-650 on my summer cottage and trying to setup internet. I have both Ununtu and Archlinux partitions, but prefer to use Arch, because my computer is too old for heavy Ubuntu OS.
There is no problem to connect to internet from ubuntu network-manager-applet in Gnome panel (which uses networkmanager daemon), even from LiveCD. But in Archlinux, following instructions on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_manager fails to succed. But another way: to use gnome-ppp program (graphic interface for wvdial) establishes connection. I prefer first way as less "clickable" and wonder if somebody can explaim me my mistakes.
As I noticed, in Ubuntu there are both lines in right-click network-manager-applet menu
1)Enable networking
2)Enable mobile broadband
but in Arch only first one in this place. May be it can help.

let me tell you what happens to me on a mobile usb.
first is trying to mount a partition and i have to go in Applications->System Tools->Disk utility and umount that disk. after a moment i can use it in network manager and is listening the new network and "enable mobile broadband"
i think they got a udev rule or something to stopping mounting that partition, where is the driver for windows/mac

Mobile broadband connection issue

I just bought MBP (first ever and was so excited ) and connected my mobile broadband dongle to it. It told me to install software and then go to Network Settings and "enable" the device. The device does not appear in the list, only wifi/ethernet/firewall, not my USB Broadband. Does anyone know why? Have installed it twice and restarted and everything, but I plug in the USB dongle and it gets recognised but I cant connect, it works on my old computer tho...

USB is not inherently a Mac Networking protocol. To make it recognizable as one, there needs to be some software that is run to configure the USB device and make it appear as a Network device.
Check in the downloaded software for a setup or configuration program, and run it.

How to share Windows 7 Internet connection AND Extreme USB hard disk?

Hi All,
I'm trying to share the mobile broadband Internet connection on a Windows 7 PC as well as the USB hard disk connected to the Airport Extreme (2nd Gen) with other WiFi devices. The problem is that I can get either the one to work or the other, but not both.
When I configure the Airport Extreme for DHCP+NAT, all machines on the Airport network can see each other, share files, etc. When I enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 7 machine, the only way I've gotten that to work is to set the Airport Extreme to bridge mode, but then file sharing of the Airport Extreme's disk no longer works.
Device info: Internet-connected Dell Latitude E5420 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen), Windows XP Home Edition + Nokia N8 + etc. WiFi devices.
I've read all the manuals I could find and searched these forums but haven't been able to figure out a solution. I'm really getting desperate and will really appreciate any and all suggestions!
Many thanks,
Francois

I've found a solution that works with my existing equipment. It's now possible to share the Windows 7 machine's Internet connection at the same time as the AirPort's drive. An additional challenge was to avoid having to manually reconfigure every WiFi client, but it turned out that's also possible.
For the sake of posterity, here's the guide! :-)
Background
My setup is based on an AirPort Extreme access point WiFi network. The AirPort shares a hard drive, and a number of Windows clients connect to the network. One of these, a Windows 7 machine, has a USB mobile broadband dongle which I also wanted to share with the network.
Previously I got this to work, but whatever configuration I came up with required manual reconfiguration of each network client, one way or the other. This was not ideal. Also, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) defaults to IP address .1, the same one to which the AirPort defaults. This needed manual reconfiguration of the ICS host each time ICS was turned on.
Solution
THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES THE AIRPORT TO BE IN EITHER DHCP + NAT OR DHCP MODE. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DEPEND ON THE AIRPORT BEING IN BRIDGE MODE, UNFORTUNATELY THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU.
1. Do the AirPort's non-Internet configuration
On the AirPort Utility main screen, click the AirPort button, work through all the tab sheets and configure the items as you require. Do the same for the Printers, Disks and Advanced buttons. Once that's complete, we can do the Internet configuration.
2. Set the AirPort to DHCP & NAT
This is needed so you can choose the AirPort network address in the next step (but you can still set a different Connection Sharing mode later on, see step 7). For now, set Connection Sharing to Share a public IP address:
3. Set the AirPort to the same network address as ICS
Set the AirPort to the network address used by ICS, namely 192.168.137.xyz. Note that the AirPort does not allow a beginning address below 2:
4. Obtain the AirPort's MAC addresses
These will be used in the next step. Record both the Airport ID as well as the Ethernet ID:
5. Fix the AirPort IP addresses to prevent clashing with ICS
The AirPort will default to the same IP address as ICS, namely 192.168.137.1. To prevent this, assign different addresses to the AirPort with DHCP reservations. Underneath DHCP Reservations, click the '+' and create reservations for each of the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces. You can use other values, but to be consistent with the rest of this guide use 192.168.137.253 for the AirPort interface and 192.168.137.254 for the Ethernet inteface:
6. Distribute ICS configuration data with AirPort DHCP
Yes, you read right! This is where the magic happens. To avoid having to manually configure each WiFi client for the additional ICS network, that configuration data is included with the AirPort DHCP configuration. Assuming you've stuck to the numbers above, configure the TCP/IP screen exactly as shown. .254 is the AirPort router (and also its Ethernet interface) address, and .1 is the IP address that Windows configures for the ICS interface:
7. Set AirPort Connection Sharing
If your AirPort is sharing a connection on its WAN port, choose Share a public IP address, otherwise choose Distribute a range of IP address. In the latter case the NAT tab disappears:
8. Save your AirPort's configuration
Your AirPort configuration is now complete and you can push the Update button. Once your AirPort has rebooted, its network will be fully operational.
9. Ensure your Internet sharing port is correctly configured
ICS involves two network ports on the sharing computer - the shared Internet-connected port, and the sharing port connected to your local network. When you enable ICS on the shared port, Windows will temporarily configure the sharing port's settings to fit in with the scheme above (it will get the fixed IP address 192.168.137.1). When ICS is disabled, Windows will restore the default configuration of the sharing port. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the default sharing port configuration is correct. When ICS is inactive the sharing port needs to obtain an IP address automatically from the AirPort via DHCP. Right-click your chosen WiFi sharing connection > Properties > Networking > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties and configure as follows:
10. Share your Internet connection
Right-click the connection you want to share > Properties > Sharing and configure as follows (you may find the other settings also useful but they're not covered here):
And now you're ready to enjoy your local network services as well as your shared Internet connection, all on your Airport Extreme network - without having to lift a finger to configure network clients!
Windows Network Profiles
If you use Windows network profiles to distinguish between Home, Work and Public networks, here are some additional notes you may find useful.
As Windows recognises networks, it applies their assigned profiles which add or remove sets of restrictions wrt. network discovery, file & printer sharing and so on. The amount of ICS configuration data that can be included with AirPort DHCP information is limited and in some instances this interferes with how Windows recognises networks.
It seems that Windows recognises a network once a default router has been configured for it. Following are some known scenarios with fixes for each, based on that principle.
1. WiFi network not recognised
When ICS is enabled, on the ICS host Windows configures only an IP address for the sharing port and no default router. When ICS is disabled, on the ICS host this port receives its configuration from the AirPort via DHCP, as do all other WiFi clients. This DHCP configuration includes router information for the ICS network, but again no router information for the AirPort network itself.
Therefore the AirPort network is not recognised on any Windows machines on the WiFi network, under any circumstances.
To make Windows recognise the AirPort network, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254 metric 3000
This metric is high enough to ensure that "real" default routes get preference over this one.
If you want to remove the above routing table entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254
For convenience I created shortcuts for these two commands.
2. WiFi network recognised, unrecognised network remains
Once you've added the route above to make Windows recognise your AirPort network, when ICS is disabled Windows will probably identify TWO networks on your WiFi adapter:
     Unidentified network, your_AirPort_network
Windows now recognises your AirPort network, but the DHCP router entry for the inactive ICS network makes it think there must be yet another network. However, the 192.168.137.1 ICS port is not present when ICS is inactive, so Windows reports the inactive router entry as an unidentified network.
If you want to remove this unidentified network/router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1
On your Windows ICS host, removing this entry can cause no harm.
However, on network clients where you removed this entry and subsequently want to share your Internet connection from again, you'll need to add it back.
To restore the ICS router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1 metric 1

How do I copy music from itunes to a USB stick? I can't click and drag - it bounces back

How do I copy music from my computer to a USB stick? It won't let me click and drag - it bounces back.

If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

How Android v4.0 mobile phone connect to i-mac 10.7 ?

Hi,
I am using android v4.0 mobile phone. when I connect my phone to i-mac 10.7, my i-mac can't dectect
my phone? Actually, I need to transfer my photos from my i-mac to phone , How can I do that ?
Thanks.

Hi ,
The solution that get me going is as below:
The steps to add printer is via http://localhost:631
1.    From Safari, go to localhost:631 to enter cups (note proxy settings may need to be changed to allow this)
2.    choose Administration tab
3.    Add printer
4.    System asks for password ---- this is the username & pwd for MAC Account (Checkbox not to be ticked for remember option)
5. Choose smb option - Windows printer via spools
6.    Printer address : queue name as smb://servername.domain/queuename
7.    Printer name –Not to have any space between words (HPCP5225dn—all one word)
     8. Choose the driver on next screen and on the one after set printing defaults.
When set up this way, the test page for the printer may NOT work first time. Open Word or another application and print a document, you will then be asked to authenticate. Enter userid and password only (ie not domain\) and printing will work.
If you save the username and password it is saved in the User keychain - as it is per user it is OK to save and it won’t ask for authentication again.
Thanks for your help and support.
As of now I am facing another trouble while configuring the printer via server on 10.6.8.
1.If I use the same method as used for 10.7 , the job goes to Hold and asks for authentication and in this case the username is domain\username but problem is that I am unable to save it in the keychain.
So everytime a job is sent ,it goes into hold and resuming the job asks for authentication.
2. If I go via system preferences to add printer --it comes up with some NT_Status_Log-on Failure message or NT_Status_Bad_Network name.
Please suggest any inputs to work on.

How can I build mobile application , connect with database and can show its working by simulator

Dear, I want to build mobile application.
Actually, my application has 2 parts. one is webbased application.
Second part is mobile bases.
instructor will take interview of the students. he will enters marks by mobile and then by using BT, it will be sent to webbased part and saved in mysql database.

Actually, the mobile part of your question is irrelevant to the central issue of building an application that will allow:
1. Collecting information from a student
2. Entering that information into a database
To do this, you would build a form page that allows you to input the desired information. When that form is submitted, validate the information and enter it into a database.
Once you have this working, format the form page so that it displays well on mobile devices.
To use this you would browse to the form page on your mobile device browser, input the information, and submit it.
Is that what you want?

How do I make a bootable system on a USB stick?

Hi Guys,
I have four systems at four locations all running Leopard and pretty much identical systems and I want to create a diagnostics tool in the shape of an 8GB USB key that I will always have with me as it will attach to my keyring. A CD/DVD is not an option as these get mislaid or forgotten and having it with the keys means it is impossible to forget.
Anyway I want to install a base system onto this USB key and then add what diagnostics tools I can as space allows. How do I do this please?
Trying to install from my Leopard DVD just causes kernel panics and using a utility like Carbon Copy Cloner simply tries to replicate the whole drive. Even using the 'sandbox' function in SuperDuper creates a bootable drive too large to fit on the key.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Have a good weekend!
Cheers
Rich

Hi Rich
Ted Landau at Macfixit wrote instructions a while back ... there's a set here. It's a couple of years old, so I can't guarantee its Leopard compatibility. Good luck!

How can i transfer ALL my playlists to one usb stick

I would like to transfer ALL my playlists to a large usb-stick (256 GB). So that ui can use the usb stick in the car like my old ipod classic that has not enough space anymore.Copying one playlist is easy but many different ones!
Pls help, tks in advance

Are you trying to copy all files? You can select them all in the general Music item and drag that to a stick. All the files will be placed at the same level. Alternatively in Finder you could drag your whole iTunes > Media > Music folder to the stick. Some of this is going to depend upon your car's player. Some will scan down multiple folder levels. Some will only do one and you will end up with one giant playlist of all your music. You will have to find out yourself what your car does.
I don't know about iTunes 12 but I know my older iTunes does not permit you to select multiple playlists at one time.
