Question about connecting to internet without using Wi-Fi

This is a potentially dumb question, but I am a brand-new iPhone user and former Treo user, so I am used to a different set-up when it comes to connecting to my mobile carrier's data network. I can successfully connect my iPhone to my wireless (airport) network, but when I'm out on the street, I thought that the AT&T data network would pick up where the wireless left off. But, nothing happening. I'm used to the Treo having a VPN settings page. On my iPhone, there are no VPN configurations. I signed up for a data plan with AT&T, so I thought they would have configured the phone with the settings. Can anyone fill me in on some missing information? Thanks!

I did some more digging for information last night and figured out how to get online when not connected to WiFi. Thanks! Problem solved.
This page: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/calls/
explained it all to me.

Just got a used IPhone from store and it won't connect to Internet without having to use wifi. Already called my phone company and it still doesn't work. How do I fix this?

I just went to GameStop to get a used Iphone3 and I can't seem to figure out how to get Internet without using wifi connection. Anyone know how to do so? Everything else works good.

Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

Question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table is full.
If I configure layer 3 sticky and specify the inactivity timeout as below, how does the CSS
handle subsequent needed sticky requests ?
advanced-balance sticky-srcip
sticky-inact-timeout 30
CSS document says that
Note:
If you use the sticky-inact-timeout command to specify the inactivity timeout
period on a sticky connection, when the sticky table becomes full and none of
the entries have expired from the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent
needed sticky requests.
My question is what is the next reaction by doing the CSS if the CSS is in the
following condition:
when the sticky table becomes full and none of the entries have expired from
the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent needed sticky requests
Does CSS just rejects/drops subsequent needed sticky requests ?
or
Does CSS does not stick subsequence requests to particular service but CSS forward
subsequence requests with round-robin basis ? which means if the sticky table is full,
the CSS just works round-robin load balancing fashion for subsequence requests ?
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,

Hello,
There is a good document explaining this on Cisco web site
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a0080094b4b.shtml
It depends if the sticky-inact-timeout is used or not. If not, it's FIFO (the oldest entry in the sticky table is removed). If yes, the CSS will reject the next sticky request.

Hi Noobycy,
There are few tools to find AD attributes without ADWS. See options you have below

2.
The ADSIEDIT tool
from the Windows Support Tools is a great tool to "explore" the AD.

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ?

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ? Or can I just attach to my stereo and have my Mac connect directly to it in the absence of a wireless network? Tks

you will have to configure the express to create a wireless network but you do not need a connection to the internet.

Lelisa it is only necessary to connect to the internet periodically to receive updates and validate your membership. If you have an annual membership you can be offline for up to 99 days. You can find additional details at Activation & Deactivation Help.
I would also recommend reviewing Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps which discusses adjusting the installation language.

There's no setting. Plug in the cable to the adapter for either USB or Thunderbolt and plug the other end into your router. You can turn off wireless at that point.

IPhone 5 unable to connect to internet or use web-based apps like Facebook or Tumblr

About two days ago, shortly after using my iPhone 5 to upload a picture of my son eating a donut to Facebook, I seem to have lost all ability to connect to the internet or update content on web-based apps like Facebook or Tumblr. I tried to restore my iPhone in iTunes on my computer but could not do that without first turning of "Find My iPhone," in the iCloud section of my settings. When asked to enter my password to turn off this feature the phone is "unable to connect to iCloud." It doesn't seem to matter if I'm connected to WiFi or using my cell data - I'm getting a strong signal in either case, but the phone is unable to connect to anything. I CAN make phone calls and send texts but that's just about it.
I recently updated to IOS 8.1.1 but it worked fine for several days before this problem started. Any ideas?

I reset my network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and rejoined my network, and that seemed to fix it. Apps are working on wifi and on data, and I can once again send imessages. Since I couldn't find a similar post very easily, I wanted to post this for whoever needs help with this problem ;D

2 questions about connection speeds

Hello,
First up: I've been using the same ISP for 3 years now, at the same apartment, and my top download speed has always been 1.5Mbps (roughly 185K/s). For some reason my top download speed "now" is precisely 150K/s, and it's been that way for the past week or so. (And this speed limit affects all my internet-aware apps.)
Is it possible that I've set an OS-wide download limit without realizing it?
Second question: I'm using MenuMeters to determine my connection speed. When using Transmission, a Bit Torrent app, I can also read it's total downloading speed. When MenuMeters tells me that my total download speed is 150K/s, Transmission tells me that it's only downloading at 135K/s.
Trouble is that Transmission is the only app running. And indeed if I pause the downloads, MenuMeters indicates 0K/s (so there are no other internet-using apps running). Since I haven't found any report of speed errors on the Transmission forum, I don't understand this incoherence.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Loa

Hello,
Tom: very close to what MenuMeters was telling. So I guess Transmissions has some bugs.
But that doesn't solve my other problem: why isn't my top speed 185K/s anymore? Can this be on my side, or is it entirely up to my ISP?
Thanks
Loa

policy on my windows 8 to see if I can edit some policies but I didn't see any function to creat one only it is asking for archieve.
2--connction trough remote desktop to VM is only purposed from ouside or you can use it to connect to VM internally too? very short answers wil be enough.

Macbook Pro finicky about connecting to internet

My 2009 MacBook Pro suddenly started having problems connecting to the internet wirlessly. I use a D-link router (WBR-2310) connecting to a Westell Modem that has the DSL connection from AT&T. The Mac connects pretty well when using an ethernet cable from the wireless router and also connects wirelessly when I do not enable security on my D-link router but when I enable security its connecting ability becomes very erratic. On rare occasions it will connect but most of the time it will not and I will spend about 30 minutes or more doing various things in the network preferences tab such as running diagnostics or the connection assistant or deleting the keychain for the network and re-entering under join other network and finally after about 30 minutes it may decide to finally connect. Often times when I first turn on the computer the airport will be on but the airport bars in the tab bar are grey then I will click on join other networks and manually enter the network name (even though the Mac already has this info) and select the security type and re-enter the password and the airport bars will fill in black but I will still be unable to connect to the internet. When I run network diagnostics it will have a green light next to Airport and AirPort Settings, a yellow light next to Network Settings and a red light next to ISP, Internet and Server. Often times if I change the TCP/IP to DHCP from Bootp the Mac will aquire a ip address but still will not connect to the internet. Today I configured the IPv4 address manually and was able to get on the internet wirelessly while typing this actually and when I ran a diagnostics so I could better illustrate the problems I was having it got hung up again and I lost my connection. This time the diagnostics had a green light next to network settings but red lights next to ISP, Internet and Server. I appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Hey andyjcmrdn,
I know it is an old thread but I wanted to share my solution anyway. It might be useful for some others. I found a thread somewhere mentioning that wbr-2310 is an old version router with a new shell on it. It was recommended to use the firmware from that model of Dlink (DI624). I gave it a try and used the firmware that I found. It seems like it is working now. I was having dropping issues with both my air and iphone 4, they would drop out during the day several times.

I am using WPA2 Personal with DHCP on.
I hope it will be useful for someone.
