Need wireless advise/help.

The guy down the hall, 20 feet or so, is providing an access code to his wireless network for 10$/month. I do not have an AirPort card but I do have an AirPort slot. I see AftertheMac has APPLE WIRELESS USB AIRPORT CARDS (Compatible with All Wireless Routers
WIFI 802.11g and 802.11b) for around 50$. I have been reading posts about Belkin and Linksys also working with G4 PowerMacs. Does anyone have any experience with the USB AirPort Card? Anyone in a similar situation have any advise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
G4 Dual 533Mhz, 1.5ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   FCP 4, Pioneer D111 SuperDrive

Hi,
Your model G4 requires the original AirPort card. They're no longer manufactured and can be expensive.
Avoid USB adapters. They require drivers and aren't that reliable. Instead, look for a wireless PCI adapter (Belkin and MacWireless have them for Macs) or a wireless ethernet adapter (Linksys WET54 or WET11). The ethernet adapters require no drivers and a good wireless PCI card should be compatible with AirPort software.

  • My ipad 2 won't orientate, and if i played an app such as temple run, the character won't move to the right or left when i tilt it, it just stay in the middle. i have reboot, check the lock and everything thinkable, but no change. need ur advise. help

    help need, please advise

    Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Greetings,   I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wirele...

    Greetings,
    I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wireless Router, and it worked well for years with my Alcatel DSL Modem (Bellsouth/ATT).  The modem went out and it was replaced with Westell Modem.  When I bypass the router I have no problem connecting to the Internet, however when I connect the router--no connection.  I thought it would not be a problem swapping the modem out.  I am running XP with Norton Internet Security and Anti-virus.  I have disabled Norton and do not believe that to be the problem.  Do I have to reconfigure the router?  If so, can I do it with the original install CD?  (I am disabled and the original CD/instructions/box is in the attic and I cannot get it easily.)  I have read several different threads, but they do not specifically address my problem.  Any assistance is appreciated.  Eddy

    Many Westell modems are actually "modem-routers" and they use the same 192.168.1.1  address space as your WRT54G.  This is the root of your problems.
    Try the settings at this URL.
    http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323
    Note that the "WAN" port on the BEFSR41 in the example is the same as the "Internet" port on your WRT54G.
    Please let me know whether or not this worked for you.

  • Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller ?

    Cisco Wireless Control System need wireless Lan Controller , for Rogue detection

    Hi Joao,
    The WCS is used in conjuntion with the WLC (Wireless Lan Controller) for Rogue Detection. It is not a must for this function but more of an add-on :)
    The Cisco WCS is an optional network component that works in conjunction with Cisco Aironet Lightweight Access Points, Cisco wireless LAN controllers and the Cisco Wireless Location Appliance.
    From this doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/index.html
    Overview of WCS
    The Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution management tool that adds to the capabilities of the web user interface and command line interface (CLI), moving from individual controllers to a network of controllers. WCS includes the same configuration, performance monitoring, security, fault management, and accounting options used at the controller level and adds a graphical view of multiple controllers and managed access points.
    WCS runs on Windows 2003 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4.0 and AS 4.0 servers. On both Windows and Linux, WCS can run as a normal application or as a service, which runs continuously and resumes running after a reboot.
    The WCS user interface enables operators to control all permitted Cisco Unified Wireless Network Solution configuration, monitoring, and control functions through Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. Operator permissions are defined by the administrator using the WCS user interface Administration menu, which enables the administrator to manage user accounts and schedule periodic maintenance tasks.
    WCS simplifies controller configuration and monitoring while reducing data entry errors with the Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller autodiscovery algorithm. WCS uses the industry-standard SNMP protocol to communicate with the controllers.

  • Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have...

    Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have the 2.4 GHz Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G version 2 I had bought some time ago (over year and a half) and never really had it hooked up since I have been moving from place to place. Now that I'm retired and staying in one place I'm ready to set up. I find myself having "several" power adaptors and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me if all the broadband routers had the Linksys name and/or logo on them? None of the adapters I have do. I want to use a proper adapter so as not to damage....are there any specs that would be helpful so that one of these adapters would work? Also I'm running WindowsXP Sorry to bother you folks with a dumb question as I'm sure there are others with far more important questions and concerns. Although I can't tell other than the end going into the unit fits, I do have one Class 2 Transformer which might be the one it's about 1 1/2 inches thick, about 2 inches tall with following written information: Model 49-12-1000D CUI Inc Input AC 120V 60Hz 20W Output DC12V 1000mA Appreciate any help you can give.....I believe my unit is an older one based on version so there may have been a "fatter" adapter then than now.

    The power adapter output should be 12V, 0.5A(so 6W power rating)

  • Need a little help please    Airport Express

    Need a little help please.
    I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
    I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated…
    Thanks
    In advance…
    PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

    Your connection sequence would look like this:
    Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
    This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.

    ok i need lots of help here... i have a WRT54G router and trying to hard wire a computer to it and wirelessly connect to a laptop... i have dsl internet connection... the power light is blinking constintly and when i try to setup the router the default password doesnt work already tried to reset the router and that didnt help... any thoughts> thanks

    the power led blinking all the time can be caused by a corrupt firmware, or a defective power adapter,  try doing a hard reset, you may need to do it a couple of times, and then power down both the modem and router.
    after a couple minutes, power up the modem, wait for the link led lights up, then power up the router and look for it to link up with the modem, at this time the power led on the router should be on solid if all is ok.
    if it still don't light solid, you may need to do a firmware update, or the router is defective.

  • Need some advise

    Hi All,
    I need some advise from you JAVA gurus. Here is the situation:
    Our Java development team developed an application running on Weblogic 8.1 SP3. The application is contained in the ear file....which is perfect. They now wanted to go live in about 3 months from now. We were discussing plans how to it live but running into a major show stopper.
    Our Linux/Unix weblogic support group do not support/ allow running any singleton java processes except whatever is running as weblogic instances.
    Application development has a requirement to run these 5-7 singleton small little java program (currently i do not know exactly what these small little java processes does).
    We have proposed that the application team should own these processes and they have to run it outside of the BEA weblogic servers (i.e these singleton processes are not allowed to run on our common Unix machines running WLS8.1 sp3).
    We have only ONE option:
    1) Run these small little singleton java processes somewhere else that will be owned by application team.
    Questions:
    1) What are the problems that may arise if these singleton processes do not co-exist with where the application server runs (hosting the application ear file)?
    2) Is there any other ways of circumventing this problem (any other ways based on your expertise) ?
    3) Also, iam trying to understand these singleton processes, so what questions should i ask before i have a head to head discussions with the application team ?
    [any watch list??]
    Thanks for all your help.
    Take care.

    duffymo/others,
    I was initially confused with the term "singleton" ...what i meant to say was "stand along java processes". So, there is nothing singleton but this application has few stand alone java processes that the Linux/Unix team do NOT want to run where the weblogic managed instances are running.
    So, say my weblogic servers are running on Host A and Host B each having 3-3 each BEA weblogic managed instances CLUSTERED...then these stand alone java processes IS NOT ALLOWED to run there.
    I hope this time i am much clearer .... :)
    Iam sorry .... i was totally confused with this term called "singleton" as i incorrectly misinterpreted as stand alone java processes ....sorry about that again.

  • Need a little help new to mac

    Need a little help I'm new to Mac.. i have had my ibook for over a year now and i like it a lot, but some times my usb post dies on my for a couple days maybe weeks. Ill have my ipod connected and when i go to plug in a flash drive. It doesn't detect my ipod anymore and my usb port don't work. it says that they were "removed improperly" and now they are not working again..i have tried to reinstall the whole os again and that doesn't work i don't have the hardware test disk so i don't know what could be the problem i know its not the logic board is there any test i can do to it to find out the problem its an ibook late 2001... there is no reset button on it. i tried to hold in the space bar and now when i boot up i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up im a mess need some help

    +it says that they were "removed improperly"+
    You have to go to the iPod's icon on your computer (or the flash drive's icon), select it and eject it there before removing it. Otherwise, data can be corrupted and/or lost. Repeatedly removing it without ejecting it from the desktop can cause it not to be recognized any longer.
    If your iBook is a "late 2001" model. It should have a reset button. Check out the chart here to make sure which model iBook you have:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
    +i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up+
    It's trying to find a network volume from which to boot.
    Once it's booted up, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your Mac OS X startup volume. Then close System Preferences. The next time you start up, it should start up without looking for a network volume.

  • Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop Windows-XP​sp3 OS - Need Data Recovery Help

    Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
    Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
    BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
    I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
    However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad.
    How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
    I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc)  that I want.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Update...
    I found a website that offers the following:

    Price: $27.00
    Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
    But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then goes to a blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.

  • Need some quick help - fairly urgent!

    I've just taken over a new job and have been the task of finishing the new brochure for Christmas, there's not a lot to do but a lot of the measurements need changing
    This is the layout I'm dealing with..
    All the boxes have been made in Illustrator
    The text has been done in In'Design and it seems every piece of text is it's own box if that makes sense
    My question is, if I select the whole specification box - copy, paste it into Adobe Illustrator and change the text there, then paste the edited box back into In-Design, will I lose quality when it gets printed?
    I'm worried if I do it this way it may come out blurred? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

    I couldn't find an Illy file in the end and have ended up creating tables in ID to replicate what was already there!
    Didn't take very long and I guess if I didn't do it now, I'd come across the same situation next time!

    There certainly are viable "quick fix" solutions proposed here, and if the dealine is looming and this file never needs to be touched again I might be tempted, but they are only postponing the pain for a file that needs periodic updates, and I wouldn't waste effort on them, myself, when that time can be put toward a proper rebuild now if that's the ultimate goal.
