Setting a preferred network connection method

Dear All
I recently purchased a Nokia E90, and I am in love, I have switched to this one from SE p990i and also iMate Jamin Smartphone. So in a nutshell, I would recommend this phone to everyone.
Now, I have a question, I have a wireless lan in the office and at home, and I also have a GPRS connection, is there a way to make the telephone –more precisely, Mail for Exchange, to try the WLAN connection first, and then if failed move to GPRS?
Can I do the same with other applications?
Thanks

I think not. The best way is put on "always ask" for type of connection.

Trouble with setting up the network connection

I am having trouble with setting up my network connection on my new laptop, we use a telecom xtra broadband connection for our windows computers in the house. But when i try to put what i think is the right information in the set up it comes up with "network connection could not be configured"

Hi,
you can not connected to sap on 127.0.0.1 ip address it is loopback address for local host.
instead of give the ip address where sap is running.
if you running SAP on your standalone PC/laptop then you need to assign one ip address to that host
use this ip address to connect.

Setting up remote network connection with wrt1900ac nubby question

Hi everyone, I am looking to set up remote network connection = been able to be on my network from public place. I have never done it before and i just purchased wrt1900ac and i was wondering if someone can point me to a step by step guidance how to do so. I also obtain static IP address from my internet provider. thank you in advance. I will be connecting with notebook with windows 7 on it

Typically to access LAN devices directly on a remote network you would VPN into the remote network. Either using Port Forwarding and a VPN Server or using a VPN feature built into the router.
This is assuming you don't plan to use something like Logmein or Gotomypc.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Setting up preferred network

I have a home network via ATT uverse and I can't seem to set up my laptop to use it as the preferred network. I have to manually find my network every time I log on or come back after it has been sitting idle.

System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock.
Highlight Airport.
Network Name-select your name.
Click on the Advanced button.
Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."
Click the OK button and lock the padlock.
Restart your computer.

TS4268 i keep getting message that cant be set up - check network connection. went to Apple store. they could not set it up and referred me to this article which also doesn't solve problem. Keeps getting network message, even in apple store. Help!!!!

I keep getting message to check network connection when i try to use face time or imessage. Went to apple store. They could not fix it and referred me to apple support which sent me an article to do the things the store had already tried. Store thinks it is a problem with the ID although the correctID and p/word are being used. Just get message that cant sign in and check connection and try again. Happens in every location. Can anyone help me with this since Apple can't?

Since you've tried the Apple Store, etc., even though you say your Apple ID and password are good, I suspect that's the likely issue.
I recommend double checking that with Apple. This link might help:

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

OS X 10.5.3 not connecting to preferred networks.

I'm having a problem with the preferred networks connection on my system (Macbook Pro CoreDuo 2ghz), so when the network sometimes drops out, or I move to a location where the network is different (but still on the preferred network list) I have to reconnect manually.
I have checked, and unchecked the ask for the preferred network box a couple of times, and it still gives the same screen.
It happened from fresh install of 10.5 and still happens now I have updated to 10.5.3. It is getting a little annoying with this, because if the area is where the network is a little flakey then I keep getting the connect screen, instead of just letting the machine connect itself.

Thanks for the welcome!
Well, the network router is not the issue, as I have been and placed the machine next to one of the APs and then started it up. What I am getting is the dialogue box saying "Unable to find any of your preferred networks, please select from list below." And then the machine is has to be attached manually, even though the preferred network is saved in the configuration.
What I am trying to do is to make the machine connect automatically instead of having to select the networks every time I want to connect. It is just a little annoying, especially when it was possible to remember, and auto connect without fault in 10.4. As the option seems to be available in the sytems preferences, I am starting to think that it may be a configuration issue on my machine.

Palm network connection through USB cradle

Is there any possibility to set up a network connection with the MIDP for Palm (i have an m500) through the cradle?
I more or less just need a byte stream in and out and somehow am lost on the way. Could somebody please hint at what needs to be done on side of the client/server?
thanks

[RWuensch],
Yes, you may set up a PPP network connection between your Palm OS device and the PC through the cradle for HTTP network connection, see this URL for one method of setting up the PPP connection:
Mocha W32 PPP for Win32
http://www.mochasoft.dk/palm.html#palmppp
Once the TCP/IP connection is established between the Palm and the PC, a MIDlet can then make HttpConnection connections to the network and the Internet.

Annoying "do you want to allow network connections" popup dialogue box

Every time I open certain applications, I get a popup message that asks if I want to allow network connections. It also tells me these settings can be changed in the preference pane. All of the connections there are set to allow network connections. I tried turning them all off and then on again, no luck. I am about ½ a step away from reinstalling the much more stable 10.6.8 OS.

How do I set up a permanent wifi network connection?

Hi all,
I had been using my D-link wireless router for a couple of years, when it just gave up the ghost this week. I happened to have a spare linksys wireless router which I then set up, and it works fine. My desktop pc connects fine, and my visiting friends hp laptop connects fine, on a permanent connection.
However, my MacBook Pro, whenever I close my MacBook, and then open again the next day, or later on that day... When I try to connect via the newtwork symbol in the task bar at the top, I get the message (a connection timeout occured) . Each time, I have to go into system preferences > Network and I have to set up the connection with a different location (current home8!), and retype in my passphrase. I have tried locking the connection so that no changes can occur, but that doesn't help .
Is there a way that I can just make this connection permanent? Why does this only happen on my MacBook, and not the other computers on the netwok?
Thanks.

Some of the following you may have already tried - Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

When returning from sleep my preferred network doesn't connect

After returning from sleep mode my prefered network won't automatically connect. I checked the settings and its set to automatically connect to my network. I have to turn of the wireless and then turn it back on or select my network before it will connect.

In Networking, make sure that Wireless is at the top of the list, if it is not then move it there above Ethernet. I also uncheck "Ask to join new Networks"
In Preferred Networks make the one you want the only one, if more than one set the priority of which one first. Check "Remember Networks this computer has joined" Most of this is in Advanced.

Macbook Pro no longer auto-connects to preferred network

The title says it.
While my computer connects automatically to some (maybe all but one) of my preferred networks, it now does not connect, annoyingly, to the one I use the most often (let's call it NET).
I've triple checked that it's preferred and should connect automatically, and the computer remembers the password, so that if I manually select NET, it connects no problem. But:
a) It won't auto-connect to NET, and
b) If I turn my computer on, when it presents the list of networks to me, I have to wait for it to reload the list, cause if I click on NET originally, it doesn't connect, and I have to refresh the list and try again.
c) Figured that might mean that it's just taking longer to load the networks and is showing me a list before it's actually picked up on the networks, but waiting forever doesn't make it autoconnect; it just refreshes the list.
Any ideas? This is a huge pain.

No idea. You could try deleting the file
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
... and restart your Mac.
To find that file quickly, select the above path (triple-click the line), control-click to bring up the contextual menu, and select Services > Reveal. Drag that file to the Desktop, or directly to the Trash.
This will completely erase your AirPort network preferences, requiring that you select your Wi-Fi network and authenticate again.
What OS X version are you using, and are you using an Apple AirPort Base Station, or a third party product?

Hi, how do i stop my macbook pro not to automatically connect to a wifi connection that is not my preferred network? i want to automatically connect my macbook to my preferred network everytime i turn on my laptop. thank you.

System Preferences > Network > WiFi
To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network your computer will attempt to join first.

Netsh does not work to set IP address of "Wireless Network Connection"

On Windows 7 Professional
This set of commands work for configuring the "Local Area Connection"
netsh interface ip set address name="local area connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
netsh interface ip set dns name="local area connection" static 8.8.8.8
netsh interface ip add dns name="local area connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2
BUT for the WiFi connection, this command errors with this message "ELEMENT NOT FOUND"
netsh interface ip set address name="Wireless Network Connection" static 74.94.87.157 255.255.255.248 74.94.87.158 1
BUT the 2 following dns commands DO work for the Wifi Connection.
netsh interface ip set dns name="Wireless Network Connection" static 8.8.8.8
netsh interface ip add dns name="Wireless Network Connection" 68.87.77.130 index=2

I FOUND A SOLUTION
I manually renamed the interface from "Wireless Network Connection" to "Wifi"
Then when I use "WiFi" in the command line, I no longer get the
ELEMENT NOT FOUND error.
I have no idea why renaming the interface works . . as shown on original post above, "set dns name" command worked without the name change, but the "IP set Address" did not work.
Anybody know what this is about ?
