No security when creating computer to computer network?

Under the WiFi drop down menu you can create a computer to computer network as before in Mavericks etc, however it seems that there is now no option to have a security password.
Am I missing something as I would definitely like to have a password as before?
Many thanks
Adam

No you are not alone in experiencing this problem...
My workaround involves using an Airport Express to create the secure network.

  • SQL Query in Custom Security when creating Security Profile

    Hello all,
    I've created a security profile with Custom security and provided a simple query in Custom Security tab-
    PERSON.PERSON_ID = FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID
    Custom security option is "Restrict the people visible to each user using this profile"
    I am not able to see the record as expected.
    If I Hardcode the person ID "PERSON.PERSON_ID = 13449" with "Restrict the people visible to each user using this profile", I am able to see the record.
    If I Hardcode the person ID "PERSON.PERSON_ID = 13449" with "Restrict the people visible to this profile", I am able to see the record after running PERSLM and same is in PER_PERSON_LISTS.
    Am I correct in checking with FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID?
    (This was mentioned in system administrator guide :
    "+Oracle HRMS assesses the custom security when the user signs on. In addition, the custom security code can include references to user specific variables, for example, fnd_profile.value() and fnd_global.employee_id.+"
    docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13509/T2096T2098.htm).
    I have tried with FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID / FND_PROFILE.VALUE('USER_ID') / :ASG_ID (seeded query has a join with this bind variable) - not happening.
    I've given options as below :
    Employees = None
    Contingent Worker = Restricted
    Applicant = None
    Contacts = All
    Candidates = All
    All other options - Defaulted
    Thanks,
    Sumanth

    Resolved this - One cannot see self's employee record in the form for which this is setup.
    Hence the below query though correct in syntax did not show any data.
    PERSON.PERSON_ID = FND_GLOBAL.EMPLOYEE_ID
    My original requirement was that all employees belonging to one's Organization should be displayed, and this is working fine with an updated query for the same.
    Thanks,

  • I can not create a computer-to-computer network

    I am trying to create a computer-to-computer network to share files between my laptop and imac but everytime I start doing this the computer remains endless waiting in the creation process (both on the laptop and the imac) I switched the security in the meantime from WPA2 to WEP which should be ok as I understood.
    So please help what should I do

    Don't use WEP - it can be cracked in about ten minutes. Use WPA2, this isn't likely to be the problem.

  • Error creating computer-to-computer network

    Hello all, is there a fix for this issue yet?
    Creating computer-to-computer networks over Airport is broken in SL for many many users!
    Ad-hoc networking over wifi is essential for many iphone applications, come on Apple, sort this out?

    Ok, thanks ... So Apple doesn't actually read these boards?
    I've perused the numerous pages of numerous threads about the problem, and seen the numerous unhelpful replies.
    Sorry, but i'm not cool with this. Apple has progressively crippled my computer's functionality with firmware/software updates. First it was the superdrive, (firmware borked by update, had to be replaced) now ad-hoc networking. These are known issues which have affected thousands of people, and have been discussed in these boards extensively. Discussions are often marked as "Solved" and locked down, when it is clear that the only solution is replacement of affected hardware as it is simply not supported by Apple anymore. This is a tactic to force people to buy new Macs. Several Mac users I know do not tinker, they just want ti to work, so they tend to buy a new Mac every 2-3 years because the "old" one has slowed down (usually due to a full hard drive) - or - in some cases, they accepted an Apple update.
    The iPhone is a premium smartphone and its wifi connectivity with the Mac is much advertised. Guess what, it doesn't work for many who upgraded to Snow Leopard- yeah, "Error creating computer-to-computer network"
    There is no solution other than replacing the laptop's Airport card (an operation too daunting for most users) or messing around wih windows Atheros firmware flashers . For most people it really means go back to Leopard, and if you don't know how to do that and your machine is out of warranty, tough.
    I'm sorry if this isn't the place for complaining, i have already contacted Apple about it but the site says told not to expect a response. Maybe if enough people have the sme issues and make enough noise something can be done.
    This must be a very easy thing to fix in the OS but the fix is probably blocked by some policy to accelerate the obsolescence of Macs. Sooner rather than later, your Mac wil be "legacy".

  • "insufficient RAM to fill" message when creating panoramas - 16 GB on my computer?[was: RAM]

    Why am I getting "insufficient RAM to fill" message when creating panoramas when I have 16 GB on my computer?

    You don't say which version of PSE or which operating system, but except for PSE 12/mac, all versions of PSE are 32 bit programs, which means they can only use a maximum of about 3 GB of ram, no matter how much you have in your system. You can try going to the editor>preferences>performance and upping the percentage available for PSE.

  • Need easy instructions on creating a 2 computer network

    Hi!
    Recently I aquired a second Mac, a MacBook Pro. I'd like to set up a mini network between my 2 computers. The MBP is wireless connected to the Internet and the stationary through Ethernet cable to the Internet, directly to the broadband modem. It can be connected to the wireless router if needed.
    Can someone tell me the easiest way to connect these 2 "puters"? I have years ago managed to connect 2 "puters" but I get confused when I shall create the accounts. I am the only person using both "puters"
    Point me in the right direction. Thank you!

  • Computer - computer network and internet sharing

    I apologise if this has been discussed elsewhere - please point me to any useful links.
    I have a G4 iMac and iBook (running 10.4.6) both with airport extreme cards installed. I would like to use a computer to computer connection for file / printer sharign and most importantly to share the ethernet connection to the internet running through my iMac.
    I would be extremely grateful if someone could point out how to do this and incorporate a practicable level of security (I don't want any of the hundreds of people in adjacent flats downloading lord knows what through my connection).
    Having accomplished this, I then need to be able to create a similar connection when required so that when required I can share the internet connection from the iMac with our PC laptop running Windows XP service pack 2.
    So, the simpler the better, instructions for creating a computer - computer network for internet and file sharing between two Macs and following that between the Mac with the internet connection and a Windows laptop.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    You don't need to setup up computer to computer connection if your using internet sharing. Once you start internet sharing then your 2 computers are connected togther.
    I would be extremely grateful if someone could point out how to do this and incorporate a practicable level of security (I don't want any of the hundreds of people in adjacent flats downloading lord knows what through my connection).
    The problem you have is that if you enable internet sharing on one of your macs to share its connection over airport then the only level of security you can enable is WEP encryption.
    The problem with WEP encryption is that it offers no real security and can easily be cracked. WPA is the only security you should consider using and unfortunately OSX does not have WPA encryption functionality when using the built in internet sharing function.
    Your best solution is to get a wireless router that has a SPI firewall an WPA encryption. Depending on what your current internet connection is and how it is provided would determine the best kind of router to get.

  • "Device" with my SSID showing up in WiFi Menu as computer to computer network

    OK guys this is weird...
    A few weeks ago a noticed my SSID showing up unprotected under "device" in my wifi menu across all my ios devices. It shows up as protected in the list of all the networks in my neighborhood, but not under "device". Out of curiosity, I connected to it, and realized it was a computer to computer network. The problem is that I didn't create this network. It just showed up. I do not have internet sharing turned on. The only time it goes away is when I connect to my wireless network. When I switch back to Ethernet, it shows up again. I thought it would be as simple as deleting the network, but it doesn't show up anywhere else. I've tried formatting my hard drive. Still there. I've tried unplugging my router. Still there. I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of this thing, and it just wont go away. This has me slightly concerned.  Any help would be appreciated.

    William,
    Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure which device it is, if any. It just displays my SSID. One secure, one not. I did not create this network, and I do not have hotspot turned on to my knowledge. I do have all my devices logged in to iCloud so I can message and call on my devices, but I wouldn't think that would automatically create an ad-hoc. I never saw it before last week. I attached a screenshot. Thanks for your help.

  • ARP over Computer-to-Computer Network with WEP?

    Howdy All,
    I have two Macs running OSX 10.4.8. I want to connect them with a Computer-to-Computer Airport network (not an Airport Base Station) with static IP routing between them, but NOT using Internet Sharing.
    If I setup the Computer-to-Computer networking using WEP then ARP packets don't seem to get through (across the wireless). If I recreate the Computer-to-Computer networking without the WEP then the connection works fine.
    When I setup a Computer-to-Computer networking in Airport does it filter ARP packets for some reason (or perhaps it doesn't need them with Internet Sharing)? Can I create a computer to computer network some other way?
    I don't want to use Internet Sharing because of the NAT it creates.
    Thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions.
    Cheers,
    Ashley.

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks for your post. Unfortunately, I don't believe I explained things clearly. I am trying to do IP routing from one machine to the other without using the NAT that Internet Sharing would give me.
    I can get it to work fine when I have a computer-to-computer network without WEP security, e.g. I can ping each machine from the other. However, if I recreate the c-to-c wireless network with WEP it doesn't work.
    A tcpdump suggests that the ARP packets aren't getting through the computer-to-computer network when WEP is on. Here is a portion of the output from tcpdump:
    18:46:43.826657 arp who-has 192.168.49.7 tell 192.168.49.4

    18:47:03.528851 IP 192.168.49.4.ipp > 192.168.49.255.ipp: UDP, length: 146
    Of course, both machines have the same WEP password etc. It may be something to do with how Apple creates the c-to-c wireless network when WEP is used, I don't know.
    Hopefully that makes it clearer. BTW, Personal Filesharing was on and the Firewall was off in both cases.

    Ashley.

    B has connected to the wireless network called W (using the Airport menu extra).
    B has IP address 192.168.49.7 with router 192.168.49.4
    B has a static route 192.168.49 -interface en1
    B has IP forwarding on
    B has a wired network connection to a printer ...
    netstat -nr shows similar (but reversed, i.e. 4 and 7) for en1.
    This is NOT using "Internet Sharing" (i.e. it is off). I don't want the NAT that comes with that!
    System preferences shows both machines are connected to the "Computer-to-Computer" network W.
    Pinging the other machine from either side I get:
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    ping: sendto: Host is down
    ping: sendto: No route to host
    Again, if I create the network without WEP security with the same configuration, the pings work fine.

  • How do I use a computer to computer network?

    I tried to set up a computer to computer network form my mac to connect with my pc notebook.
    my notebook says it is connected but I do not see my mac anywere, what do I have to do to acess my shared folder on my notebook?

    Perhaps the actual computer-to-computer wireless network is not really working.
    Start by making sure you have created the computer to computer network properly on your Mac by reading Communicating with other computers wirelessly. Do NOT implement a password, since this feature is difficult to get working properly with a PC at the other end of the connection.
    Then configure your PC's wireless adapter to connect to the wireless network you created on the Mac.
    Note that having a wireless networking connection between these two computers sounds like a nice high-tech idea, but a direct cabled connection would be (a) less trouble to set up, (b) would be far more secure, and (c) would provide a dramatically faster connection.
