Network security/browser problems

Don't laugh, I'm on an old iMac running 9.2.2, using explorer 5.1. Recently while on the internet I keep getting the message that I can't get a secure connection. (Nothing has been changed on my computer recently.) I was told by my internet help desk to install a new browser i.e. safari. In my attempts to find it, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't work for my system. Is a new browser the answer to my security problem or what do you suggest? I'm not very computer savy, so please respond in detailed english, not techy. Thanks
iMac Mac OS 9.2.x

Security certificates have a time limit on how long
they will be good for, and for old browsers, the time
limit may have expired. You need to use a newer web
browser to continue accessing secure web sites; the
only Mac OS 9 browser currently being developed is iCab.

Hello, Neil!
Thank you for taking the time to suggest the use of the iCab browser. I'm trying it out now as I type this reply on my 1999 iBook. This browser works great... at least so far.
It's amazing how these old machines can just keep on ticking, so it's nice to find a decent, current browser. Even my original battery lasts for almost an hour!
Much appreciated,
Joe

Internet security/browser problems

Recently while on the internet, wherever I go, I keep getting the message that I can't get a secure connection. (Nothing has been changed on my computer recently.) I was told by my internet help desk to install a new browser i.e. safari. In my attempts to find it, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't work for my system.

See if updating IE helps any. The latest & last version for your OS would be version 5.1.7. You can download from one the following:
Internet Explorer (Classic) 5.1.7
Internet Explorer 5.1.7
Internet Explorer v5.1.7
"WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
If you do continue to use IE, since you have only 128mb of RAM, I would make sure Virtual Memory is on & set to 129mb.
Purchase more real RAM. As much as you can afford.
Increase IE's preferred memory by 200%-300%.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18278 Mac OS: Assigning More Memory to an Application Program.
The same directions are also in the OS Mac Help Menu.
After you have installed IE, rebuild your desktop.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10182 Rebuilding Desktop File and Icon Recovery.
=============================
Other browsers for your current OS (yes they are free):
Mozilla v1.3.1(Wamcom)
Netscape Browser Archive
Netscape v7.0.2
MacUpdate-NC v7.0.2
iCab v3
Opera v6.0.3
WannaBe (Text only browser)

Trying to turn off "secure browsing" when I go to FaceBook to play games. This problem started after updating FF.

When I go to FaceBook to play games, FF will ask me if I want to "turn off secure browsing." Yes or I can't play the games. However, it will not let me do a thing except browse the site in "secure browsing" mode. I never had this problem until I updated FF. I have to us IE to play games on FB now. I hate IE. It's so slow and a pain in the backside.
Thanks
Rhea Krussell

In the upper right hand corner of facebook, 1. click the drop down menu next to home. 2. Click on 'Account Settings' from the menu. Now, on the right side, 3. click the option 'Security'. 4. The option to turn off secure browsing will be the second on down on the list in the main part of your screen. Hope this helps.

Network Security Requirement : Confidential - Not Enforced

I am having a perplexing problem with the network security requirement feature in SJSAS 8 Update 1.
In deploytool, under my WAR, in the security tab, for my only SecurityConstraint, I set the Network Security Requirement to CONFIDENTIAL. This should cause any access to thse objects over port 80 to be redirected to https via for 443.
The failure is that it does not redirect clients accessing over port 80 to a secure connection. The tricky part is that it fails in a completely random way. Sometimes for some WARs it will work as expected, then after X number of server restarts / redeployments, some of the same WARs will not do the redirect as expected. Through continuous redeploys and restarts during development, all WARs will or will not do the redirect in any given situation.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and worked around it? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

The following is the deployment descriptor for one of the WARs (this problem affects them all, on multiple different machines with different setups).

Do you mean that you get an untrusted error page because of a certificate problem?

Which particular error do you get?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Virus Barrier X4 question and a Top 10 Network/Security question

I am currently running Norton AV/Mac. It runs fine, no problems, no slow down, am happy! However, I know that there are some very experienced Mac users who are very down on Norton AV as far as causing problems/hogging resources/slowing things down...again, I don't have any problem, but I am still a newbie. I see however that one of the top 10 Network/Security downloads is Virus Barrier X4. If I want to run an AV program, could someone shed some light on wht this would be a better application? Also the number 1 download in this category is Mac Scan. I am confused, Forget virus's, I thought there was no Spyware/Malware? Why would so many people make this such a popular download..Curious! Thanks, Bill

Bostonfan49,
Spyware is a self-inflicted injury.
To prevent drive-bys, remember to uncheck the Open "safe" files after downloading box in the Safari>Preferences>General tab and make sure that you're blocking pop-up windows.
Configure your firewall correctly (turn off ALL unused services) and stealth it.
Don't use P2P (Limewire and the like) or visit "dodgy" (unknown, copyright infringing, skanky, pr0n, etc.) Web sites.
Never, ever install any program or give any installer your admin password unless you are certain that you know and trust the source.
Create a separate administrator account for installing software and updates and make your normal user account an ordinary, nonadminstrative user.
OS X is not immune to spyware: The spyware would still have to be coded to run in OS X. Requiring an administrator account and click-the-"Yes"-box user permission to install and run didn't prevent KaZaa (and its bundled nasties) from being downloaded and installed by millions, so this OS X "barrier" to malware is subject to the same vulnerability. That said, I'm not aware of much of anything in the way of spyware for Macs.

Officejet 6000 wireless and WPA2-Enterprise network security

I own an Officejet 6000 wireless printer. The manual says that it should be compatible with a wireless network with WPA2-Enterprise network security but when setting up the connection (I am using a macbook and am setting the printer up via usb connection) the newtork is listed but the security type is "unsupported." For whatever its worth it is listed 5 or 6 times but probably thats a different issue.
I can still select the right network but it only asks for a security key, but my network security requires a log-in name and password.
What can I do to get my printer connected to the network?

I get the feeling that most of the people replying here don't know the difference between WPA2-Personal and WPA2-Enterprise.
Personal has a passkey.
Enterprise uses both a username and password, usually in conjunction with a Radius server (802.1X athentication).
What we've had to do solve this problem is create a second SSID on the network that authenticates on WPA2-Personal. We use a really long password to secure the network, one that I will never be able to memorize in my lifetime.
All we can hope for is that these enterprise-level vendors will, perhaps, gain a greater understanding of wireless authentication processes and the needs of actual enterprise customers who at least a percieved need for wireless printer capabilities. It used to be that customer was always right, though. Perhaps those days are gone...
The other problem that probably ought to be addressed on consumer end is the fact that multicast tools that make AirPrint work (such as Bonjour), are being blocked from crossing between your wired and wireless networks, perhaps by the wireless controller or due to inefficient routing hierarchy or NAT/PAT issues. Solve this issue and you won't have a need for wireless printers.

Need my wireless network security key

I got a laptop and a kindall. Wanted to connect them to my wireless network. A screen asks for the wireless network security key. I have no idea what that is. Went to home computer and tried to copy the key, but I ended up deleting it and now can't connect to my wi-fi on that either. I attempted to restore computer to earlier date in hopes I could get back the code that was set up and when that didn't work, I set the router to default mode by using a pen to hold in button in back 10 to 15 seconds. Nothing has work, and I have no internet connection. I had to use my computer at work to type this. What can I do?

You must hard reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release. Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router. Connect via your browser with a wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'. Now configure the router back to your settings with your new SSID and password. Once done change all your computers to the same password. Write the password down and tape it to the router.

WHere is the secure browsing tab?

I had a secure browsing tab on my screen for several days and now it is gone. I'm sure I've done something because my toolbars are now at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom. Sorry, but I am not to computer savvy - thanks for any help.

Can you explain a little more on what you are trying to do? Can you create a screenshot?
*please see [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
You can access '''Private browsing''' by pressing the CTRL key, SHIFT key, and P to open a new Private browsing window

Network security key

I currently had Fios internet connection, trying to set up the wire connection and I am having problems.
Any time I put in the security password, a message come Network security key mismatch.
I have the log in password printed on the router, with the Essid, Wpas key etc.
Am I using the wrong keys or need to reset the wireless router?

What security type is the FiOS Router showing? WEP is the default for anything up to the Rev. F , and all Westell routers. The Rev G and I ActionTecs should be on WPA2.
Make sure you're entering in WEP keys in All Caps, and if it's a WPA2 or WPA Key that you enter it in case sensitive.

Help PC users can't open my iwebsite-is this a browser problem?

I created a password secured page with 3 films for a jury to vote on. All PC users can't open the page. They do not get access to the server.
The window to open the page with the username and password does not even pop up.
All Mac users have been able to access the site.
Is this a browser problem? Is there a problem with Internet Explorer?
thanks for your advice

When burning a CD from within iPhoto, it includes the iPhoto folder structure with thumbnails, originals, etc.
To burn a CD with images only, insert a blank disc, create a burn folder in Finder and drag the photos from iPhoto into the Finder burn folder. (Burn...)

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to lotto.funhousegaming.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

hello, first please make sure that the date & time is set correctly on your system.
<br>if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), could you tell us which error code is shown under ''technical details'' on the error message and when you inspect the certificate which issuer information it does contain (see screenshot)?

Finding the Network Security Key

I bought an HP laptop in August and I have a wireless router at my home. The problem is, when I stay at my father's house every other weekend, I need to access his wireless router in order to gain access to the internet to complete my school work. My older brother, who set up the router, refuses to tell me what the network security key is or where to find it. I need to know, so that I can access the internet to get work done. I haven't been able to find it by myself.

Unfortunately there will be no way to connect wirelessly to this network without having the access key.
But, you should be able to simply use a network cable to plug directly into the router. Provided no other access restrictions are in place, no wireless key is needed to access the network.

Is there a process I can follow to access my router in order to get this key?
Thank you.
