Setting iOS DNS for All WiFi Networks
This article describes how to set the DNS for WiFi connections on iOS:
http://techinch.com/blog/change-your-dns-settings-on-iphone-ipod-touch-and-ipad
The problem is that it specifies DNS for an individual network
connection, not for all connections.
Does anyone know a way to change iOS DNS for all WiFi networks in one
fell swoop?
I have my ios devices DNS set via DHCP
You'd have to move to an MDM solution if you want over the air, push profile configuration setting to the devices
such as osx server Profie Manager. You may be able to do it with custom settings, I haven't tried it myself
The basic wifi setting in OSX server PM only allow settings for wifi SSID password etc
no DNS settings ip address etc. alternative MDM solutions may give you more options

It works perfectly fine in all wifi networks except for one
Hi everybody!
I have a black macbook from 2007. It works perfectly fine in all wifi networks except for one. It´s a new network, a much faster one they say, that has been installed where I work. It works perfectly fine in my home wifi network and in every other that I have tried to date. It´s just this one.
Might it be that this new, faster wifi freezes the laptop? any experts that can shed some light?Do you have a case on it?
If so, take it off.
If not, probably an issue with the camera itself so get the iPad replaced. -

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. -
Setting Default Preferences for All Users in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1
We are currently looking to set the default preferences in the CMC for all of our users.
I did locate this page Link: [How to set default preferences for all users in Infoview 3.1/CRS 2008]
The first part of the thread did seem promising but I am unable to find the sample .jsp code that people recommended.
I would assume that this scenario is common enough that someone knows a way to set universal preference defaults.
Thank youI thought I could just run it too but when I attempt to I get a Windows Script Host error:
Script: C:\User Prefs.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Expected statement
Code: 800A0400
Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error.
I noticed the first most line seems to be markup for a web interface though I am not familiar with vbs so I may be wrong. I used the publishing wizard to put the script on the CMC to attempt to run it through the CMC but it still does not work. -
Why do I have to search for a wifi network most every time I use the internet?
Why do I have to search for a wifi network almost every time I use the internet?
We have Cox internet on a wireless router.
It doesn't seem to be able to hold the wireless connection.....even a couple hours.
The router sits on the desk next to the computer.
Thanks for any suggestions you have.I don't have any trouble connecting to the internet once I choose our network from the choices.
The computer just can't remember it. -
Is there any way to set a property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Che
In versions of Acrobat prior to version 9, selecting a particular form tool (Textbox, Checkbox), etc. would only display Fields of that particular type in the Acrobat Designer (not LiveCycle).
If one wanted to change a particular property of all check boxes for example, one would select the Checkbox Tool, Click Edit>Select All>Right Click one of the Checkboxes and Set the Property for all of the Form's Checkboxes.
Selecting a particular form tool in the Acrobat (not Lifecycle) Designer in version 9 appears to no longer filter the display to that particular form field type. Is there any way to display only 1 particular form field type in or set a particular property for all existing Form Fields of a particular type (Check Box, Text Box, etc.) in Acrobat 9?Thanks for the tip..Am aware of this option and have used JavaScript to batch change properties in the past...
Am looking for a way to replicate the interactive procedure available in previous versions. Also, want a way to only display certain Form Field types (use this when analyzing forms which I didn't create). -
Set required status for all subtypes first error
Hello,
While implementing OSS note 1744002 for Application Control Workflow i had the following error.
In fact, i added a new attribute for BOR bus2201.
When i wanted to change the status to implemented, i got the following error 'Set required status for all subtypes first'.
Thanks,
Meriem.Hi Meriem,
Any new attribute should be added to the newly created custom SubType of the Object type BUS2201, but not Object BUS2201 itself.
Revert the BOR BUS2201 to its original state and add the new attribute to your z<subtype>. You will no more get the error.

Hi
Can I set page title for all pages in project, by using filter or something else? Or the only way is to specify the name in each page?
MichalMight be possible with filters, but that would be a rather expensive task. Just create an include file which you include in all pages. This way you also have a single point of maintenance.

The network description (KTEXT) has to be replaced for all existing network
Dear All,
Transaction code: CJ20N.
1. The network description (KTEXT) has to be replaced for all existing networks(AUFNR) in production client, by a combination of the project number ( 10 characters) + 1 space ( 1 character) and a truncated project description ( 29 characters).
2. The tables and fields involved are described here.
Table Table description Field Field description
PROJ Project definition PSPID Description
POST1
PSPNR Project definition (internal)
CAUFV KTEXT Short text
PRONR Project definition
AUFNR Order Number
AUFK AUFNR Order number
KTEXT Short text
Please guide me how to write the logic through BDC or any other way is there.
Urgent.
Regards,
Karthik.Hi,
to update the networks you may use FM BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN. It is well documented in function library; there is an example how to change description/short text of network order.
so you have to select all orders from caufv whith pronr<>space an then change text with bapi above.

Repeatedly prompted for a wifi network when already connected (iPad Air 2 / iOS 8.1.3)
Hey there
Subject says it all: since the iOS 8.1.3 update on my new iPad Air2 Wifi/GSM 128GB, I keep being prompted to choose a wifi network even when already connected to my home network or tethering on my iPhone. It's quite a pain to type a mail when I have to stop every few seconds to answer or cancel this stupid prompt window.
Oddly enough, it works all right on my iPhone (otherwise, I'd use 4G).
Anyone's got a nice trick to end that issue? Thanks in advance.Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost. -
I upgraded from ios 4.3.3 to ios 7, but during the final setup I input the language (english) and try to connect with my wifi and I get the message unable to join my home network. How can I get past this so I can complete the setup?
Are you using the encryption key code for your home wifi network? The encryption key code is usually located on a sticker on the back of the router.

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?Hajenius wrote:
Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative. -
Hi. In November I set up my airport extreme base station (5th generation I believe) to wirelessly extend the wifi network we use at home to see if it would increase download speeds. Before doing that, I did a factory reset of my airport extreme, and the owner of the airport extreme to which the ethernet cable is attached made changes to his network to allow it to be extended. I folllowed all the directions from the apple support pages, and finally got it to work. I could even access a portable hard drive which I attached to the airport extreme base station being used as the extension. Then a week or so ago I noticed that my laptop would no longer connect to my base station. I did not have time to look into it until this week. Airport utility, either on my Mac or iphone no longer recognizes my base station. My mac is running OS X 10.10.1 and my iPhone is running iOS 8.1.2 I have tried both hard, soft and factory resets of my base station to no avail. The only thing that has changed after doing that, is that when I do a soft reset of my base station, a neighbors airport express appears when it never did before. I can't actually connect to it, but it does try. Then after approximately 5 minutes, it disappears from my list.
Today I went and pulled out my OLD AIRPORT EXTREME base station... you know, the one that looks like a space ship and is running wifi 802.1 b/c? airport utility DOES locate and display that, but airport utility returns a message stating that it cannot be set up by this software. I am attaching an image of that.
Thank you,
John
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?I think the initial problem is that your iPhone was connected to an open network that wasn't yours.
Go to Settings > WiFi and "Forget" the network created by that AirPort Extreme, it's older than dirt. Forget your neighbor's network also.
Perform the equivalent actions with your Mac: System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced... Delete every network that appears, including your own.
Then, connect to your own network on all your devices, after which you ought to be able to use any of them and configure your Extreme without any difficulty. You may need to start over with a "hard reset" on both the main AirPort Extreme and the one extending its network.
Does this have anything to do with the fact that 'Back to My Mac' is probably enabled?
Not exactly, but using iCloud Keychain will populate all your devices with the names of preferred networks that any of them connect to, no matter where they are. I don't know why Apple considers that a beneficial feature.
