Setting up secure internet connection

how can i create a secure internet connection on my imac 10.5.8?
I notice when i click on the airport icon at the top of the screen there are other networks in the neighborhood that a listed but each one has a lock next to it requiring password. Any guidance would be great. thanks

In addition to Ralph's excellent advice, I've got a couple of questions:
What type of internet connection and modem do you have and who is your ISP?
If you have cable or FioS and the Mac is within ethernet cable distance from the modem, that type of connection is faster and more reliable (fewer signal dropouts than wireless).
Or are you trying to set up a wireless home network?
In that case, you need a wireless router; follow Ralph's suggestions. Most routers do not come with Mac-friendly setup software, so you will need to log into the router's website (should be in your manual and usually something like 192.168.x.x; user name and password usually preset, but should be changed once setup is complete). After logging in, you can go through the settings and security is best at WPA2.

Or are you simply trying to use your neighbors' internet connection? You won't be able to.

Please, help me to set up wireless Internet connection. My router is WRT54GS. I able to get online when computer is wired direct to VPN internet cable.
First, I can’t open password request screen on http://192.168.1.1.
Second, when "Setup wizard" runs step #6 (“Check the router’s status”), the program asks for the password. Default password “admin” is rejected by the program and I can’t install Linksys software. Just in case I already pressed reset switch on the back of the router but to no avail.
Third, I don’t find out my Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection and correct router’s IP address using ipconfig/all command after connecting WRT54GS with my computer. Ethernet adapter: DHCP disabled, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, IP address 10.32.132.193, default gate 10.32.132.1.
Tell me please: what’s the matter?

WebHelp leaves secure internet connection

When clicking "Help" from the application, you are prompted
with "You are
about to leave a secure internet connection. Do you which to
continue?" That
is normal.
However, if you select "No", a web page still pops up, with
the help
information displayed and a blank web page behind it.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

J.Bost -
In the web application that calls the Webhelp, what is the

Setting-up the Internet Connection

Hi All, my systems has the following Linksys products:
modem - ADSL2MUE
wireless router 1 - WRT54GS (1st floor)
wireless router 2 - WRT54G (2nd floor)
switch - SR2024 (for cable connections)
I was able to connect all the PC to the internet. My problem is I could not make all the PC be in same Gateway number in which I could not share the network printers and files to all PCs. Is there any way to solve this problem? Below are settings to each device:

WRT54GS - IP Adress (192.168.2.1), DHCP
* ADSL2MUE Internet Port is connected to WRT54G Internet port
* WRT54G Ethernet Port 1 is connected to SR2024 Ethernet Port
* WRT54GS Internet Port is connected to SR2024 Ethernet Port
* Printer 1 is connected to SR2024 Ethernet port (2nd floor)

* All PCs in the 2nd floor is using 192.168.1.1 gateway number thru WRT54G and SR2024.
I need your help on this.
Best rgds, joven

It does not matter how you set the internet connection type on the second router when nothing connects to the internet port. The internet connection type is used for the configure of the connection through the internet port. As nothing is connected in the internet port the setting is basically inoperable and makes no difference whatever you set there. You should not set a static IP address as that may affect the routing tables on the router even if the internet interface is down. Thus, just leave it on Automatic/DHCP and it should be fine.

Can't set up an internet connection on BEFW11S4 if WEP is Enabled

When I enable wep I can't make a network connection. I see select the network name under Internet Connection (on Mac G4, OSX) but the passord is declined. Where do I find the WEP Passord? Isn't it the same as the WEP Encryption Number (WEP Phrase)?

In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off the software firewall, and see if that helps.
Make sure you have the latest driver for your wireless card.
Make sure you have the latest firmware for your router.
If you still have a problem connecting:
Some Apple users have needed to set their computers to a fixed LAN IP address. Linksys has some very specific rules about using fixed LAN IP addresses:
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and the "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

Does anyone know what to do when your ipod touch finds a network but still says "cannot establish a secure connection to the internet"? is there something that can be configured on the ipod touch?

if the network use mac filtering and your mac add is not included on it's list you cant connect
if the network use wpa or other encryption setup and you dident provide the correct password you cant connect
if the network require you to login from a www page before granting you access you have to do so first
if the network require you to manualy setup the proxy to let you use the connection you have to do so first

Securing Internet Connection on Internet Gateway Router

Hi,
I am looking for some suggestion as to how many different security features that should should be implemented on IOS based Internet Gateway Router.
What are the different ways hackers attack, DoS attack, Worm Attack can be prevented on IOS routers.
I know it is a broad question, but a list of essential measures on IOS would be helpful.
Fawad

Hello,
I would recommend:
-Stateful inspection
-uRPF checks
-ACL's
-Connection limits
With that you will cover the essentials but of course as you know you need way more than a device to protect a network.

QuickTime and UTube movies stop & start. How can I re-set for slow internet connection?

UTube will start the movie OK, but stops a few seconds in, then buffers the feed?, and then continues. Sometimes it doesn't continue. I have a rather slow dsl connection - ethernet to my 2011 imac running 10.7.5. My question is: Is there some way to re-set the buffer settings so the videos play without stopping?

If none of the above works, please try the below.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

I am trying to set up my internet connection with my iphone 5 and the hotspot. I had no problem using the same computer with iphone 4. i am unable to do it and get an IP address conflict

I have a new iphone 5 with a personal hotspot. Am trying to establish wifi connection and get this message on my laptop. Network error, another computer is using the same IP address.

A free app called Fing will tell you what devices are connected to your network and what IP addresses they are using. Rebooting/resetting each of your devices will probably resolve things.

Can anyone help me set up wireless internet connection?

I have 2 computers a windows and the Mac and for the first time I can avail of broadband in my area ,I currently use an ISDN line to connect. So I will recieve a wireless modem which will be connected to the windows computer by a wireless usb adaptor and my question is how do I connect the mac wirelessly to the modem which will be in a different room in the house.
I would be very grateful for advice .
Thanks in advance

It means you don't have a wireless (apple calls it airport) card installed on your computer. So similar to your pc, which uses the USB adapter, there are alternatives for your iMac. You could install an airport card although this might not be the most cost effective way. Your best bet would be to contact a specialist to ensure that your computer is compatible and ready for this product though.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8881LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MjE0NDc1Mw
I'd try something like the link below. I have no experience with any product like this for an Apple, so I can't recommend anything or comment on their functionality. I'm sure there are more available as well.

Lynksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router - Help needed to share internet connection from PC to home network

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out with a problem I have:
I am currently connecting my PC to a mobile phone as a Wireless Access Point to give that PC access the internet. I also have a small home network, with one other PC and a Game Console. I own a Linksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router. My problem is this. How do I share that internet connection with the rest of the home network?
To the best of my knowledge its not possible to connect my mobile phone directly to my Linksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router, although if anyone has any ideas how to do this I'd love to hear!
So my alternative idea is to connect to the internet via one PC, set up that internet connection as "Shared." and then allow the other devices on the home network to connect thru this. My question is how do I set up my Linksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router to allow my other PC and game console connect to the internet? Bridge Mode? PPPoE? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! PS: both PC's are running on Windows 8

I have Cisco Linksys E900 router. I want to make my home Wi-Fi zone. But I don’t have Static IP. One more thing is that Service provider have web page Authentication. I have username and pass.
I am able to make SSID and security for my WI-FI LAN. I can use internet on one device. If I tried from second device again it’s asking me for username and password. While login it’s showing your first session in not logout. (Means I have to logout from 1st device and have to login on 2nd device.)
Is there any option that I can Use my all devices at same time?
