PLEASE HELP! Problems with Cisco WLAN and WPA encryption

I checked the threads and didn't see this posted.  I have a Cisco WLAN card in my T42_2373_C88.  It's a very unfortunate thing that this wireless LAN card/wireless config. utitlity doesn't support WPA encryption.  I'm not entirely sure that it's the problem with the WLAN card, and the reason for this is that I initially set up a network through the Windows config. utility bypassing the IBM utility (which I can no longer do).  I wasn't actually able to connect to my local network until I completely removed the profile for my home network in the access connections, only then was I able to connect (WPA-PSK (TKIP)).  I saw some drivers available for my make and model on the lenovo.com driver site.  I downloaded the drivers and went through device manager specifying the folder where the drivers were located and the drivers were not recognized by windows as valid drivers.  Unless specifically told otherwise, I don't want to manually override and load these drivers.  This is a business machine, and this specific wireless function is VERY critical. 
Thanks

try using URLConnection instead of HTTPConnection.

  • Problems with Windows VISTA and WPA-2

    Hi Guys,
    I am using a Linksys router supporting draft-N; it seems that after some time of usage; Windows Vista stop being able to connect to Linksys using a WPA-2 PSK.
    Everytime you search for the SSID and attempt to connect, the ''network is taking too long to connect''' and Windows always informs the user that ''limited or no connectivity'' even though the signal strength is excellent.
    Is that a common problem in Windows Visa (I am using Home Edition)?

    Yes thats the basica command problem with Windows Vista while connecting to the Wireless Network.... In this you can need to update your Windows Vista OS with all the Latest Patches and the Service Pack to improve more stability on your Vista Computer to get connected to the Wireless Network..

  • Please help: problems with tutorial 'building advanced portals'

    hi there,
    i'm an absolute newbie with oracle portal and trying to work through the tutorials. a lot of questions arise...
    like this one:
    i've created a multi-tabbed region (chapter 3.4) and added a chart to each tab. So now i have a tab-bar on top-navigation-level and a tab-bar in this region. but they don't look the same and i can't find out, where to manipulate the style of the sublevel-region-tab.
    Can someone help, please?
    thank you very much

    Ralf
    When you click on 'Edit Page' (top right hand corner) you should be able to edit both sets of tabs there and each individual tab properties.

    I saw a page in my Popular Science magazine and it had iPod Linux. So I went to the website installed it, and it worked!!! But the problem is , is that when I plug it in to my computer, it charges but won't show up as a drive. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Even within the iPod Linux Project the Fifth Generation iPod and the Nano are unsupported hardware so you are pretty much on you own, however check these links out:

  • Please Help-Problem with Optical Drive, it's a Mystery...

    Well I'm a fairly big Imogen Heap fan, and her new CD came out the 25th. So I went to Best Buy and I bought the deluxe version which includes a seperate disc with instrumentals. I got home, put it in, and my Mac made a "scratching" kind of noise, then it spit out the disc. I figured there was a problem with it, I went back to Best Buy, got a new one, and it did the exact same thing.
    HOWEVER, both of the instrumental discs worked just fine, and imported just fine. The normal audio disc also works on my Ubuntu computer, Windows computer, and my other Early 2009 Macbook Pro. I also restarted my Mac, cleaned the disc, and that did nothing.
    So, what's the problem do you think?
    (Also I went to Apple but there were no appointments available, and they were too busy to just look at it without an appointment )

    Hi Mate,
    I didn't do an OS install, I took it to an apple store and made a Genius Bar appointemnt. Explained the proble and after 15min conversation, they diagnosed it as teh following;
    The felt/rubber where you put the CD/DVD had gone hard and the friction is causing the CD/DVD to get stuck and be loaded. They tried to tell me that I need to replace the top case  (£140+VAT) as its in-built into it or I can use a £3 spudger to push the CD's in......needles to say the Spudger works fine.....Shame I wasted £100 on the new optical drive ;o( Maybe sell teh spare on eBay....Happy days!

    Does anyone know how many chaaracter my mac password can be up to ? I forgot my password and my trackpad and mouse is broken so I can't use Command S to make a new one and I'm just trying to figure out what the password requirements were in 2010? any help would be much appreciated I have another macbook but I would really like to get the other one up and running again as a desktop with a mouse and keyboard.

  • Please help me with my projectiles and angles program!!!!

    I am having problems lining things up correctly. my program generates a table telling you how far an object will travel based upon its angle and its velocity. the chart has the angles along the top and the velocites down the side. default angles are 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 and default velocities are 20,40,60,80,100. I need the user to be able to enter the smallest angle, the angle increment, and the total number of angles.
    My problem is for exmaple if i enter the smallest angle as 20, increment as 5, and total number as 4 it will display the correct calculations but the angles on the top will not line up. It will display angles 0,5,10,15 when its suppose to be showing 20,25,30,35. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Also i need the user to be able to enter the minimum initial velocity, maximum initial velocity, and the number of equally spaced initial velocities. for example if the user enter smallest velocity 10, largest velocity 30, and total number 5 it should display the distances for initial velocities 10,15,20,25,30. Any ideas on that one? I will post my code below. Thanks again for any help you can provide!!
    import java.util.*;
    public class test
    /** Main Method**/
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
              int smallestAngle, increment, totalAngles,angleDegree = 0, velocity = 0;
              double answer = 0;
              System.out.print("Please enter the smallest angle: ");
              smallestAngle = sc.nextInt();
              System.out.print("Please enter the increment: ");
              increment = sc.nextInt();
              System.out.print("Please enter the total number of angles: ");
              totalAngles = sc.nextInt();
              for(int i = 0; i < totalAngles; i++)
                   System.out.print("\t" + (angleDegree + (increment * i)));
              for(int i = 0; i < (totalAngles * 5); i++)
                   if((i % totalAngles) == 0)
                        angleDegree = smallestAngle;
                        velocity += 20;
                        System.out.print("\n" + velocity);
                   answer = Math.round((Math.pow(velocity, 2) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(angleDegree)) * Math.sin(Math.toRadians(angleDegree))) / 32);
                   System.out.print("\t" + answer);
                   angleDegree += increment;
              System.out.println("\n\n");
    }

    Ok i re wrote my code another way hoping it would help solve things. My prob now is that it will only display the correct degree headings and not produce any form of calculation. I need to find a way for the user to enter the minimum initial velocity they want, the maximum initial velocity they want, and finally the number of equally spaced equally initial velocities. After this I need the program to produce the table with the calcuations. MY CODE SO FAR IS POSTED BELOW!! PLEASE PROVIDE SOME CODE OR INSIGHT TO FIX MY PROBLEM!! :-) THANKS!

  • EAP-TLS problems with Cisco AP541N and Server 2008 NPS

    Hi,
    I want to use EAP-TLS with my shiny new certificates issued by my new Windows CA, and what happens? Nothing works.
    I don't have a clue what I should do. I try to establish a EAP-TLS connection using my Windows CE mobile device, but my cisco AP541N logs this:
    Oct 18 15:42:58
    info
    hostapd
    wlan0: STA 00:17:23:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.1X: Supplicant used different EAP type: 3 (Nak)
    Oct 18 15:42:58
    warn
    hostapd
    wlan0: STA 00:17:23:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.1X: authentication failed - identity 'XXXXXX' EAP type: 13 (TLS)
    Oct 18 15:42:58
    info
    hostapd
    The wireless client with MAC address 00:17:23:xx:xx:xx had an authentication failure.
    NPS logs this:
    Name der Verbindungsanforderungsrichtlinie: Sichere Drahtlosverbindungen 2
    Netzwerkrichtlinienname: XXXXXX
    Authentifizierungsanbieter: Windows
    Authentifizierungsserver: XXXXX
    Authentifizierungstyp: EAP
    EAP-Typ: -
    Kontositzungs-ID: -
    Protokollierungsergebnisse: Die Kontoinformationen wurden in die lokale Protokolldatei geschrieben.
    Ursachencode: 22
    Ursache: Der Client konnte nicht authentifiziert werden, da der angegebene EAP (Extensible Authentication-Protokoll)-Typ vom Server nicht verarbeitet werden kann.
    I'm sorry it's german, but the gist is: The server can't process the authentication with the specified EAP type, which should be EAP-TLS.
    I think the NAK answer in my cisco AP logs is the problem. Well, not the problem, since it is the standard procedure in the EAP request / challenge, I think, but somebody messes up with it.
    Did anybody encounter something like this before? Or just knows what to do?
    Thanks in advance
    Lenni

    Joe:
    Having NPS, you have the options to configure PEAP-MSCHAPv2 or EAP-TLS.
    EAP-TLS: mandates a certificate on the server as well as a certificate on every single machine for authentication purposes.
    PEAP-MSCHAPv2: mandates a certificate on the server only. Users connecting to the wireless network must trust the certificate (or, user devices can be configured to escape this trust and connect even if the server cert is not trusted).
    for PEAP-MSCHAPv2, Your options are:
    - Buy a certificate for the server from a trusted party (Verisign for example [which was bought later by Symantec]). This way all devices will - by default - trust the server's cert.
    - Install local CA. Install a cert on the server and then push the root CA cert for your CA to all client device so they trust this issuer.
    - If both up options are not valid for you, what you can do is to configure every single client to ignore the untrusted cert and proceed with the connectoin. (This is a security concern though. not recommended unless really needed).
    You must get a cert on the server and all clients must trust that certificate's issuer. Otherwise you'll not be able to user PEAP.

  • Please Help: problems with 2nd internal SATA drive on G5

    Hello everyone,
    I was transferring and deleting very large files from my main drive, a 2nd 250GB SATA internal drive, and an external 250GB FW800 drive recently (about 50GB worth of data transfered), and decided to run disk warrior and repair my permissions/verify disk in disk utilities once completed.
    Everything seemed fine until I verified my 2nd internal drive upon which I received the following error: "First Aid Failed" citing "Invalid node structure" and that the volume needs to be repaired. I attempted to Repair disk, though the process stops and I get the same error "Volume could not be repaired because of an error."
    This 2nd SATA drive only holds data (I'm a musician so it only holds sample data for streaming in Logic) but it contains allot of information (185GB used of 233GB) which according to my math comes out to about 80% used. This should be acceptable amount, correct? The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not sure if its relevant or not.
    What should I do? The drive itself seems to be working fine, but why would disk utility have a problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine. Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet, can it?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
    Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This obviously did not happen the first time I used diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so something must have happened recently. What could have happened? What should I do?

    This 2nd SATA drive only holds data (I'm a musician

    Yes, that's fine.
    The drive also has Journaling enabled, though I'm not
    sure if its relevant or not.
    Hmm, I think I once had a drive with a directory problem that couldn't be fixed with DiskWarrior without journaling being (temporarily) disabled. After disabling journaling, I used DiskWarrior to Rebuild the drive's directory, then I reenabled journaling.
    What should I do? The drive itself seems to be
    working fine, but why would disk utility have a
    problem reading/repairing it if its indeed fine.
    Should I be worried? The drive is probably no more
    than 2 years old, so it cant be drive failure yet,
    can it?
    I'm afraid it could be, I've had drives fail at any time between half a year after purchase up to 3 or more years after. Though often one hears the drive "die", or notices very slow performance due to bad blocks being weeded out, and the S.M.A.R.T. status - visible in Disk Utility (only for internal drives) in the bottom right, when you select a drive (not volume) is an indicator of a harddisk's health as well (though not the most complete, see this hint, or S.M.A.R.T. Guard).
    Update: I tried to graph the problem drive again in
    diskwarrior, and this time an error occurred! This
    obviously did not happen the first time I used
    diskwarrior to graph and build a new directory, so
    something must have happened recently.
    Did you try to repair anything with Disk Utility in the meantime?
    What could
    have happened? What should I do?
    So did the Repair with DiskWarrior not finish? What kind of error was it?
    In my experience, DiskWarrior mostly fixed any directory trouble. For more serious cases, see this thread.

  • Need Help: Problem with iTunes 8 and artwork.....

    This is a weird issue. I'm trying to add album artwork for imported albums manually in itunes that it can't find or has incorrect. Every time I try (no matter which method) the artwork either doesn't take, iTunes freezes, or the album in question skips the first track until I delete the entire album and re-import. Any suggestions? I'm running 10.5.6. Any help would greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Hope I can help. I had a similar problem. I could not update any information about the tracks album etc. I had checked permissions everything... finally I decided to go to ID3Tags and selected none and then the edits took. Strange don't know why, but in my case it has worked a number of times.

  • PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

    I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3.  I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
    I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes.  The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
    Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think.  Thanks!!

  • Please help me with export settings and format

    I'll try to explain my problem the best I can. I recently captured some footage from old VHS tapes to use in a Christmas video. I imported one of the MPGs that I captured to AE and applied a grain removal plus a couple other lighting effects to the video to improve the quality as well as I could. When I went to export it (through the render que) I found myself confronted with a huge amount of format options and after doing some reading online thought a Quicktime .MOV file with Photo JPEG compression would give me a reasonable size video but after doing the math (an a bit of the rendering) realized that my 2 hour video, that was originally only around 6GB was being converted into a .MOV file that was around 80GB, which is too large for my HDD. Now, I would love to go out and purchase a 1TB SSD right now but I can't currently afford it. I need to end up with a file as close to the original file size as possible but with the grain removed, and the highest quality (for the file size) and just need to know the best settings to use to accomplish that. I looked around for several hours and couldn't find a quick and easy answer like "just export a MPEG 2 file" with ..... settings. The file is going to be imported into Premiere for final edit with several others that are probably going to need the same adjustments. It will then be exported to a 1080p BluRay (with an HD photo slideshow). Also I am using Production Premium CS4, if that makes any difference.
    Any quick tips about the grain removal effect would be greatly appreciated as well. I'm currently using a removal amount of .8 with the effect running 6 passes. I also changed the texture setting under "fine tuning" to .4.  It's a little blury but MUCH better than grainy, and about as good as I can expect from a 25 year old VHS. If you've used this effect before and know a couple little tweaks I could apply to make the video a little sharper (without the grain) that would be amazing.
    Thanks in advance.

    The file size is defined by bitrate. The winners among production codecs regard to 'quality / render time / file size' ratio, DNxHD and ProRes, utilise almost identical bitrate: up to 440 Mbps while encoding with 4:4:4 colour subsampling and up to 220 Mbps while encoding to 4:2:2. Do some math, and you'll end up with 90-200 GB/hour.
    So, the only option to save on disk space is to utilise highly compressed codec like H.264. With target bitrate set to 100 Mbps (you can set the bitrate in the Export Settings dialog) the quality loss might look affordable (don't remember if you can encode to Level 5 on CS4 though).
    If you eventually choose H.264 (working with which on CS4 might in turn result in a nightmare), do not export to H.264 from AE directly. Export to H.264 via AME...

  • Please Help: Problems with erratic mouse

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and just recently started experience erratic behaviour from my magic mouse. I have read countless forums that document this issue - its a known thing. It honestly drove me insane to the point that I completely formatted my 27" iMac and got back up to 10.6.7 - after installing the magic mouse software again, the SAME behaviour happened. I tried changing the channels at which my airport extreme broadcasts my wireless signal throughout the house - no luck.
    I even switched over to my wired keyboard and Mighty Mouse - and you wouldn't believe it, but I am also experience this subtle jerkiness with the mouse - the cursor will get laggy when dragging from side to side, or up and down - definitely noticeable since I have been using mac's for 6 years now. I am absolutely blown away by this sudden phenomenon and have no explanation for it. My desk surface is fine (since it worked for years before hand). Both lenses on the mice have been blown out by a dust blower, they are clean.
    I am about to lose my mind. Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago and it drives my completely nuts. Even my wired mouse does have a noticeable lag. I use a lot of Photoshop and jerkiness is very annoying and it slows me down.
    Anybody has an idea why this is happening?
