I want to set up security for my linksys network. I foll...

I want to set up security for my linksys network. I followed the directions outlined on the linksys web site. I get through the process, create a password (key) and I save the settings. When I try to log on from my laptop, I am asked for a password, however when I type the password in, the statement says "invalid number of caracters. How do I get the password process to work so that I am able to secure my network. Also, without security, can someone break into my laptop and corrupt my files.

With WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphase.
However, you should be using WPA2, or at least WPA, and a strong password.
If you use an unsecured wireless router, anyone within range can login and use your Internet connection. At a minumum, this means that they will be using your bandwidth. At worst, they could be uploading copyrighted music, sending spam email, distributing viruses, or downloading child pornography --- all from an account with your name on it! Additionally, once someone is on your wireless network, they are in a very convenient spot to start attacking your computer. They have immediate access to all your shared files, and they could corrupt, steal, or delete them. With some work, they could likely get to your other files also. So my advice is --- secure your wireless network.
To set up wireless security, you must use a computer that is wired to the router.
Where to find the router settings: The router's login password is usually on one of the "Administration" pages. The other settings are all found in the "Wireless" section of the router's setup pages, located at 192.168.1.1
First, give your router a unique SSID. Don't use "linksys".
Make sure "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled".
Next, leave the router at its default settings (except for the unique SSID), and then use your pc to connect wirelessly to the router. Test your wireless Internet connection and make sure it is working correctly. You must have a properly working wireless connection before setting up wireless security.
To implement wireless security, you need to do one step at a time, then verify that you can still connect your wireless computer to the router.
Next, encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor (see note below)
WPA (sometimes called PSK, or WPA with TKIP) - good
WPA2 (sometimes called PSK2, or WPA with AES) - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise". Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES. With any encryption method, you will need to supply a key (sometimes called a "password" ).
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and key that matches what you entered in the router.
Retest your system and verify that your wireless Internet connection is still working correctly.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Picking Passwords (keys): You should never use a dictionary word as a password. If you use a dictionary word as a password, even WPA2 can be cracked in a few minutes. When you pick your login password and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers, but no spaces. A login password, should be 12 characters or more. WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 24 characters. Note: Your key, password, or passphrase must not have any spaces in it.
Most home users should have their routers set so that "remote management" of the router is disabled. If you must have this option enabled, then your login password must be increased to a minumum of 24 random characters.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Note:
WEP is no longer recommended. The FBI has demonstrated that WEP can be cracked in just a few minutes using software tools that are readily available over the Internet. Even a long random character password will not protect you with WEP. You should be using WPA or preferably WPA2 encryption.

Can't set up security for Airport Express?

Hello, we are tearing our hair out trying to set up Airport Express.
We have installed and are using the Airport Utility. We plug in the AX and it is a slow flash amber. It s being registered by our mac so we join the default "Apple Network XXX" then open Airport Utility. Checking the base station status it lists 4 items that need attention, we can work thru all of them but keep getting stuck on "Wireless Security".
We get to the point where it says select "WPA2" or "no security", we select WPA2, hit continue it then gives us the message "wireless network name is required to continue" but there is no where to select a name or enter one, the base station is also selected in the LH panel? We can't get past this point.
We have also previously in other screens already put in a password for the base station and again for the airport express - is this a 3rd password?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks! - Danielle

Danielle, welcome to the discussion area!
Try the following: Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab just below the row of icons to assign a name to your device, a device password (write that down) and adjust time settings as needed.
Click the Wireless tab and work your way down the page
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
wireless Network Name = Your choice
Check mark next to "Allow to be extended"
Radio Mode = 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) is a good choice
Radio Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal
Wireless Password = backspace to clear out anything here and re-enter your desired password
Confirm Password = Same as above
Click Update to save your settings. See if that will help.

Setting Up Security For A NETGEAR DG834G Wireless Router?

During the past week I have connected both my Macs to my new Netgear router with Ethernet cables.
My son, in another part of the house, connects wirelessly. It took a few hours (off and on) to connect his Windows Laptop to the internet and finally get his email working.
When we initially set it up, the router was broadcasting its name to the world.
I have now switched off the broadcasting of the name.
What level of security is this?
Are my 2 wired-in computers fairly safe?
I believe that his transmissions could be picked up, but as he has no financial or sensitive material I don't think that would be too serious - or would it?
We live in a quiet cul-de-sac where any strange people or cars would be noticed immediately, so we are probably not so vulnerable to wireless-hackers as others might be. Or am I living in a "fool's paradise"?
The Netgear has details of numerous security systems that can be enabled, but as with most computer instructions they are written for experts saying WHAT it can do and not for beginners saying HOW to do it?
Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of some reasonably simple, step by step instructions.
I am hesitant to go ahead on my own as I am worried that I might mess-up the internet connection I have struggled so hard to achieve!
Ian.

Ian,
As a general statement, wireless networks are inherently insecure.
"I have now switched off the broadcasting of the name.
What level of security is this?
If this is all you have done, roughly speaking, your network is just as
(in)secure as it was when you plugged in the router.
Do you have file or printer sharing turned on? Are your Mac firewalls
stealthed and refusing UDP packets? Will the router accept any inbound
request for an internet connection? Have you changed the default password
on the router?
The answers to these questions speak to the relative (in)security of your
Macs.
Is your son using any form of encryption, say, WEP, or, preferably, WPA?
If not, your network is less secure.
"We live in a quiet cul-de-sac where any strange people or cars would be noticed immediately, so we are probably not so vulnerable to wireless-hackers as others might be. Or am I living in a "fool's paradise"?"
Yes, and here's why.
"Does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of some reasonably simple, step by step instructions."
I was going to suggest reading the router's manual, but it is pure and utter
fertilizer. Looks as though a marketroid (who knows some buzzwords but
not their meanings) patched that monstrosity together using the user
menu storyboard walk-through and a lot buzzword-laden filler "lifted"
from the Web.
Would it be humanly possible to run an ethernet cable from your router to
where your son computes and turn off the wireless?
Since I don't own one, I can't help with a primer on securing it. Sorry.

How do I set the security for macros from high to medium?

I am trying to download a spreadsheet to Excel from a website that was recommended in an article in one of my art magazines. Everytime I try it, I get an error message that states a macro has been blocked because the certificate was never signed. It said to reset my macro security from high to medium. How do I do that?

How to set wireless security for Officejet Pro L7750 printer?

Hi there.
I connected Officejet Pro L7750 to wireless broadband router and all is well. Only problem is that all computers on the network can install the drivers and connect to the printer. How do I limit the printing capabilities only to 2 computers so the rest of the network won't be able to print to this printer?

Quite a few questions there, Sends, but I will do what I can to answer them.
I would first recommend buying a router, even if it is one that you won't connect to the internet and network this with your other PCs and the printer. This will give you the best functionality and results for what you are attempting to do.
Additionally, the Auto Off feature of the printer can be disabled, and is not affected by the connection type. You can usually go through the Setup Menu and select Tools to change the options there on the energy saving features.
Lastly, the auto off feature on your computer is a Windows question, but an easy one to answer. If you are on a laptop you can right-click on the battery in the service tray (bottom right hand corner) and change the energy conservation settings.
You might be better off installing the printer through the USB cord and alternating that based on when you are using it, but that would be optimal only if you are printing only a few documents on an irregular basis. A networked connection is the easiest to manage over several computers, honesty, but you do have some requirements for that connection and limitations as well.
I hope this information is useful!

I want to set password security on a pdf from the command line

I have a pdf file that is created and placed on a report server. I would like to run a batch cmd to set the security for that pdf based on a saved security policy. I will call the batch cmd file from a batch application. Can Acrobat XI handle this operation or do I need a third party tool. The pdf is created by BI Publisher (Peoplesoft).
Thanks,
Jay

You need to invoke your cmd manually, don't you? So, instead of opening the Terminal application, enter the command and press "Enter" you open Acrobat and click a button. It's a different manual step to start the process, but you need a manual step to start the process anyway. I do realize that you may have a bash/perl/python script that does more than just apply encryption but that's the capability that Acrobat has.
Regretfully, Acrobat JavaScript API does not provide functionality to encrypt with password. You can use JS to encrypt with certificates but [for unknown to me reason] not with passwords. Otherwise it could've written a JS script that encrypts, embed this JS in a separate PDF, open that PDF from a command line with your JS script executing on Open and have this LS script do all the work you need. Well, you can do that for certificate encryption but not for password encryption. I don't know why. And you cannot invoke an action from a JS either. Oh, well...

Instructions for setting WRT54GS security to WPA2? Can't find them anywhere.

Hi,
I'm an amateur at this, so please excuse this load of ignorant questions.
I have 2 PC clients, both Dell Dimensions 3.2GHz 1GB RAM, Wireless-G adapters. OS is Windows XP SP2
The router is a Linksys WRT54GS. I'm using the wireless ports only, at least when I'm not modifying the security settings. Then I use a temporary cable to connect one of the PC's to the router.
I also have a TiVo DVR series 3 with a wireless adapter.
The router came with a copy of Linksys Advisor. When I ran this software I was able to set the security level to WPA-Personal. However I could find no option to set the level to WPA2.
I know the TiVo supports WPA2 because I saw the option when I was configuring it for WPA-personal.
My question(s):
Why doesn't EasyLink Advisor have an option to set the security level to WPA2? Is it just deficient, or does it check to see if the client PCs support WPA2 and disable the option if they don't?
How would I go about checking if my PCs support WPA2?
Finally, if I have to set the security to WPA2 manually, what is the procedure for doing this?
It's pretty easy to see how this can be done on the router's little web server pages; but as soon as I set the security to WPA2 there, I'm going to lose wireless connections to the PCs and I won't be able to access the router.
I know I can get there via a cable connection, but then what do I do? How do I set up my clients for WPA2?
What's a real pain about all this is that the EasyLink Advisor gives hints on how to optimize performance on secured wireless systems. It advises going to WPA2! But its Wizard doesn't give the option to do that. Its offline help file is minimal - it just says "use the wizard" and that's it.
The online help describes how to manually configure WPA but not WPA2. And the instructions for WPA are incomplete. They explain how to set up the router, but then do not explain how to use the enccryption keys when reconnecting client PCs. They just say to select the SSID in the wireless icon's connect menu, then click on connect. Where does the key go?
Thanks for your time in reading this,
Big Al Mintaka

First of all, Windows XP SP2 can do WPA2, however it requires a patch.   Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=917021 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.
Additionally, be sure to give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
As to why EasyLink Advisor works the way it does - I just don't know.
To setup WPA2, you will first need to patch Windows XP, then, using a computer that is wired to the router, go into the router and change the encryption to "WPA2 - personal" with "AES". Reboot modem and router. You are correct that you will now loose your wireless connections until you update the settings in your wireless devices.
Next go into your computers and likewise change the encryption to "WPA2 - personal"  (= WPA2 = PSK2 ).   (Note: You do not necesarily need to specify "AES" in your computers (or Tivo), but if you are given a choice between TKIP and AES, choose AES.)
To find these settings for your computers, go to the wireless software in your computer, and go to "Preferred Networks"  (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will clear any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and enter your network info (SSID, encryption, and key). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer.
You will need to check the Tivo manual for how to change the Tivo to WPA2.

UAC Behaviour when set to "Prompt for Consent on the Secure Desktop"

We are in the process of testing UAC on Windows 8.1. UAC is enabled for admins and the setting for "Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval mode" is set to "Prompt for consent on the secure desktop".
This results in the administrator having to go through three separate prompts in order to execute the function which required elevation.
First there is a dialog which gives the options "I want to complete this action by entering my credentials on the authentic Windows sign-in screen" or "I don't want to complete this action"
Second there is a prompt to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to enter your credentials
Third there is the prompt for consent on the secure desktop.
Is there a way I can configure UAC to not have the first two prompts?

Hi Fangzhou and thanks for the reply. The action is just to "Run as Administrator" on anything. Perhaps I should share the full set of settings I have in group policy:
User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account
Enabled
User Account Control: Allow UIAccess applications to prompt for elevation without using the secure desktop
Disabled
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Prompt for consent on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Only elevate executables that are signed and validated
Disabled
User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations
Enabled
User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode
Enabled
User Account Control: Switch to the secure desktop when prompting for elevation
Enabled
User Account Control: Virtualize file and registry write failures to per-user locations
Enabled

I can`t use apple store. my apple id needs my paswoord, to set the security questions, after I introduce the paswoord it askes for the paswoord again and again! it doesn`t work, and the paswoord is the right one. What can i do?

i can`t use apple store. my apple id needs my paswoord, to set the security questions, after I introduce the paswoord it askes for the paswoord again and again! it doesn`t work, and the paswoord is the right one. What can i do?

I have figured out already. Firstly please try:
1) Installing iBooks on your iPhone via iTunes on PC/MAC
2) Adjust the time of your iPhone to 6 months ahead (e.g. 2013 May)
3) Close all apps currently running, clear Safari cache and history, sign out of Apple ID (Settings>iTunes & App Stores), reboot your device
4) Open iBooks on your iPhone, download any 1 book
5) System should prompt you to enter 3 security questions
6) Enter your answer and click "Done" at bottom right part of your input keyboard (Do not press upper right button)
7) Done!
I cannot imagine the system has gone so stupid. Apple, please retify the problem ASAP.

Questions in setting up Security group policies for Lync 2013 Users

Hi Team,
One of our customer looking for the below requirements:
ü
B>>> Being able to split users in to groups. Would like to be able to split in to Departmental groups, the groups will be Service Delivery, Finance, Business Development, Clinical Services, Radiologists,
SLA Team, Call Handlers.
ü
B>>> Being able to control which users are able to contact or see other users. For example Limit Radiologists to only be able to see Service Delivery and Call Handlers
We know that RBAC policies can be used by Administrator or Technicians who works remotely. However, a user sitting at a server running Lync Server is not restricted by RBAC.
Question:
Is there a way we can fulfill the above customer requirements in Lync 2013 environment?

Hi,
On Lync Server side, what you can do is to change the AD attribute msRTCSIP-GroupingID. You can set different value for different groups. Then each group will not able to search the users in other groups with user name. However, they can still search the
users in other groups with the sip address.

Hi Alex,
Possible to set the security permission for share files, not allow end users to printing and saving a PDF to another location.
Based on my tests, users can save the document with only Read permission, which is by design. If you don’t want users to print files, please do not give the print permissions on printers.
