Sharing GPRS/3G connection over WLAN

Does anybody know if it is possible to connect a computer/laptop/handset to a Nokia handset (N80, E61, etc.) using WLAN and share its 3G connection?
Nokia N80 - v4.0623.0.41

Yes... I have done it, but it seems a bit flaky. I use it via a Bluetooth 2.0 EDR connection to my Apple PowerBook - we didn't get that far with our Windows machine (a Dell Inspiron) as the Bluetooth doesn't seem to work properly on that. Use Internet Connection Sharing on Windows XP or the Sharing Preferences on Mac OS X to set it up.
The 3G connection is OK for email and web browsing, but Skype didn't like it much. Maybe Skype optimises itself for broadband if that's what you usually use?

Number of connections over WLAN bridge?

I have a network that has been working flawlessly for many years but when I recently added a printer I ran into some problems. The printer is connected to a switch that is connected to an Airport Express that is connected over WLAN to an Airport Extreme. My problem is that I can only connect four devices to the switch. If I connect a fifth device it does not get an IP adress until I disconnect one of the other four devices. Please see the attached overview of the network. Red dotted lines represent wireless connections.
Any ideas about what causes this behavior is appreciated. Thank you.

on a jetpack or mi-fi 5 GB is nothing. Streaming Netflix can use 2.3 GB an HOUR. Even streaming YouTube in HD can use 1 or 2 GB per hour. I'm not sure why people think 5 GB is a lot for a regular internet connection. it's not. That why people should be using cable or DSL or fiber for internet

Nokia C7 - Problem with VPN Connection over WLAN

Hello,
today I installed Nokia VPN Client 44.01(5) for Belle.
Before this update I used the following configuration: I set two SIP-profiles up and for each profile a own VPN-connection. One for connecting over radio and one for connecting over WLAN or hotspots.
So over all I had three kinds of connections or connection groups to choose: "Internet" with the radio and home wlan connections, "Intranet" for the VPN-connection over radio and "Intranet over WLAN" for VPN-connections over other WLANs.
The advantage of this configuration was that I could use the SIP-profile depending on my location and the phone had not to use the "standard" VPN-connection ("Intranet") over radio.
Now after the update I have the problem that I can't connect to my VPN over WLAN at all. Not with the SIP profile and not manually over the internet browser. There is always the notification "Connection Problem".
I tried also to put the "VPN over WLAN access point" from the "Intranet over WLAN"-group to the "Intranet"-group and gave it the first priority, but that doesn't helped too.
Does someone of you had or have the same kind of problem or otherwise has any clue about that?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance! I hope that I described my problem clearly.

Sharing Airport Internet connection Over Ethernet

Hi
I've read various things about this on the forums here, but none of them seem to make a considerable amount of sense seeing as the person just magically works out the problem. So I'll attempt to describe my problem.
I'm trying to share my Intel iMac's Airport connection to another mac running 10.4.6 over ethernet. I'm using crossover cable, and so far I've got the two computers to recognise each other in Network tab of the Finder, so I can mount the other's HD on my desktop if i wanted. BUT, I am having no luck with sharing my internet connection, I have the 'Share my Airport connection over Ethernet' settings ticked in System Preferences on the iMac with airport, but the "light" on the network overview page is orange on both computers, and the one connected with ethernet does not connect to the internet.
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks a lot
Mo

You are sharing one connection from the main unit to a secondary unit. The secondary unit only has access through the main unit, so the system doesn't see a personal web connection, just a web connection. In order to share that connection, it must be seen as a "personal" or directly connected form of network. This is so that somebody can't just steal your connection and then filter it to a billion computers and hack you and really mess up your system. If you want to share that connection, I suggest you invest in a wireless router. Then you can share all peripherals from the main unit and other units in any configuration you wish, and then use your secondary(wireless) unit to share directly to the third unit(crossover cable) without having to set a bunch of manual controls and troubleshoot. Printers, some scanners, and sometimes even dvd burners can be shared across a router. And because the system reads two connections(comp-to-comp and comp-to-web) through the router, you can actually fully network all peripherals to work across each unit, so long as they all run the same versions of OS and software. Just remember, you get what you pay for with routers. $100-$200 should get you something decent and a USB speed-booster card wouldn't hurt if you can get it as part of the whole router package. I've used the same type of configuration and it has saved me days, even weeks of trying to move data onto cds and dvds to move between computers for using with different programs and tasks.
good luck

KDE networkmanager and sharing mobile internet connection to wlan

I'm not so expert in networking only a user.
I use KDE 4.6.1. I have a netbook with Atheros AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter driver ath5k. I have installed networkmanagement 20110226-1 and networkmanager 0.8.2-3.
I connect to the internet with a mobile broadband connection CDMA/EDVO that is well recognized and connect well.
I used to share the connection with other notebook.
But I can't create an ad-hoc shared connection.

Can anyone help me?

According to that blogpost (mentioned in above post - http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/0 … ging.html), the bug has been solved and:
Plasma NM does not follow KDE SC release schedule. I tested this code yesterday with KDE 4.4.4 and it worked. It is just a matter of distributions updating their packages with this code.
And from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/725041 (same bug, reported for network-manager package in Ubuntu):
This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.8.4~git.20110228t143901.5cdded6-0ubuntu1
Archlinux currently uses networkmanager 0.8.3-0.20110113, any chances of anyone including these updates anytime soon?

Sharing an ISDN connection over LAN

I'm thinking of updating my Main computer and need some advice/help.
Currently I can only get ISDN where I live in Australia, which may be slow but it's also unlimited. I have a PC set up with the ISDN modem (USB connection) which it then shares to the Mac's on the Ethernet 10/100 LAN.
I was considering moving My G4 PowerMac into that roll, but I have several concerns.
First Running does Telstra (Australia) support Mac's running ISDN, their site is unclear. I will contact them to clear this up.
Second how easy is it to share a connection with other Mac's and PC's, can this be done wirelessly also?
But more important how long will the aging G4 last running 24/7, right now normally at night or when not in use (when I go out) I put it in to deep sleep but how long will the Mac last running all the time?
The main reason I need to think about this is the only 2yo PC might have a fault and I don't want to be left Internetless if it fails and I need to think about how to spend the limited money I have. I would prefer getting a cheap PC to use as my Internet and file server leaving my Mac's to actually use everyday. I have not had any security issues with this set up as I have firewalls set up on the PC and Mac's and security software on the PC.

While there are Mac boxes listed at the Telstra Bigpond site, I'd tend to look for an IDSN-capable firewall with Ethernet capabilities.
There appear to be several of these devices around that claim Telstra Bigpond compatibility. Cisco, NetGear, Traverse Technologies, Draytek and other vendors all appear to be in this market.
You'll probably want a network box with an ISDN port (or ADSL over ISDN, depending on what Telstra offers in your area), a firewall, and with some number of Ethernet ports (an Ethernet switch) and/or wireless networking. I'm not familiar with Telstra Bigpond ISDN in any detail, though I'd expect one of these devices to connect into the provided ISDN modem.
Cisco 801 and 803 routers come up in discussions fairly regularly, though Cisco routers aren't the easiest devices for new-to-Cisco folks to configure and manage. And these are comparatively expensive, even if you find them used.
You might also check with some Australian local vendors; there were substantial electronics stores in Sydney and Melbourne. They're likely rather more familiar with the local router/firewall options.

Can connect over wlan, but not using ethernet cable between mac and extreme

Hi, I have a brand new Airport Extreme base station. Wireless LAN works well and both my wife's and my Mac can connect to the internet. When I connect the ethernet cable to my macbook, it does not connect to Extreme. Is this a feature or a required change in the setups?

This is easily done with dial peer statements . The dial peer in your originating router must route the calls to the terminating router first. That would look like :
dial-peer voice xxxxx voip ( the xxxxx is just a tag)
destination-pattern 45... (that would route any 5-digit calls beginning with 45)
session-target ipv4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address of the terminating router)
If digitones are to be dialed after the connection is established, use the statement:
dtmf-relay-h.245-alphanumeric
You could also use a statement to specify the codec to be used:
codec g711ulaw
You would need multiple voip dial peers if the calls were going to different routers based on the dialed digits. If all calls are sent to the same terminating router, use all wild cards in the dest-pattern statement.
At the terminating router configure pots dial peers:
dial-peer voice xxxxx pots
dest-pattern 45...
port x/x (whichever port the call is to be terminated on)
prefix 45 (this re-inserts matched digits which are stripped off by the pots dp)
Repeat for other ports which will receive calls.

Sharing a WiFi Connection in OSX

Lets say your in a hotel that has wifi and you have to pay $10 a day for the connection. You don't want to have to pay $10 again for your iPad and iPhone to connect as well.
I would like to share the WiFi connection on my MAC with other devices. I know how to do this with two WiFi cards but can this be done with a single WiFi Card?
I know technicialy it is possible to do this with one card because I have see apps for Windows and even an iPhone using the Jailbroken MyFi App that used a bridge tethered mode to share a WiFi (not 3G) connection to a number of devices.
Anyone know of a way to do this on a MAC?
All the best,
Joe

Hi Sig,
If only life was that simple. The basic Mac XOS Internet Sharing will allows you to share a wired internet connection over wireless or a wireless internet connection over wire. Or if you have two wireless cards you can share the connection on one wireless card with users onanother card.
What I wanted to do was share the Wireless Internet connectionon the same wireless card. It looks like you have to pick a different interface for sharing then the one your wish to share using the approach you are recommending.
All the best,
Joe

Nokia 5233: log shows unwanted GPRS packet connect...

About two months ago I noticed, on the log, a big number of GPRS - Internet connections that happen at random times. I've seen them in the middle of the night (3:00-4:00 AM) or the day.
Example log:
Direction: OUT
Type: GPRS
Duration: 00:01:15
Sent: 9Kb
Received: 13Kb
Received/sent varies, up to 140Kb transfers.
This phone has no wifi or GPS, no 3G contract. I have installed GMail and Opera browser but set net connection not to be automatic, for those apps and for all others. Set app validation not to be automatic. I've gone over every network-related setting and set to 'manual' or ''after confirmation'. Packet data connection is 'When needed'. On SMS messages set the 'Dowload messages' to 'Manualy'.
I've scoured the net on this topic and read the whole manual to see how can I turn off/on internet connection but it seems it's not so easy, maybe create a 'dummy' Acces Point? I've checked all apps' settings and none can access the net unless confirmed. Can anyone point to a way or utility to check what application is making those GPRS connections? Would a soft/hard reset help stop this? Maybe even a virus checker?
Thanks in advance!

No, no mail app anywhere already installed, and I haven't installed any third-party or Nokia one apart from GMail.
Today at around 13:35 it started again. While the connection was active I cheked on Menu: Settings: Connectivity: ConnectionManager to see if there was any info about it. Nothing, it doesn't show what app or process is using/initiating it. Two bursts of 16Kb and 29Kb. Cancelled the connection and still it tried another four times to re-connect!
Ended up putting phone on 'Offline' mode which killed the attempts; after a few minutes set it back to 'Normal' and it hasn't tried any shennanigans... so far.
This is really infuriating. Thanks for responding.

Voice over WLAN - Cisco 2504 and iPhones/Androids

All:
I'm working on a solution for someone who already has a Cisco WLC 2504 running 7.6.100 and 2602i APs. They are running iPhones with a SIP application instead of purchasing Cisco 7925G phones. They are having issues when roaming to different APs.
Site survey is good. I also used a laptop with Net Surveyor on it - signal looks good. SNR is good. They used to have coverage issues as well but I got that taken care of for them. Only issue now is roaming.
WLAN SSID:
-Qos: Platinum
-FT-PSK and PSK enabled
802.11a/n/ac Radio:
-Client Roaming: -67dBm for RSSI threshold and -62dBm for scanning threshold.
-Disabled 6mbps and 9mbps and 12 mbps is set to mandatory. All others are supported
802.11b/g/n Radio:
-Client Roaming: -67dBm for RSSI threshold and -62dBm for scanning threshold.
-Disabled 1mbps - 12mbps. 18mbps set to mandatory. All others are supported
Switch to which WLC is connected:
-switch ports used to connect to the controller are set to trust CoS and ports to APs and uplinks are set to trust DSCP.
With these setting changes - I believe most everything else is default. I am confused about the following:
-Best practice link - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/technology/vowlan/troubleshooting/vowlan_troubleshoot/2_Gen_Troubleshooting_Guidelines.html
Says to configure voice WLAN to use 802.11a. Issues with that: Some Android's could not connect AND the big one - I am not able to set Qos to use 802.1p for the SIP WLAN. It tells me to disable 802.11a and 802.11b. If I go into each radio on 'Network' tab and disable these - NOTHING can connect to any SSID. So unless I've misunderstood something - this is a contradiction in the best-practice link I posted above.
another question: If I enable FT-PSK and PSK - for devices that support FT-PSK (which i'm under the impression is 802.11r) will these devices use that and for devices that don't they'll use 'regular' PSK? How do I know if my client is connecting using PSK or FT-PSK as both are enabled on the same WLAN.
Again - only issue is roaming. I second or two of 'choppy' voice then everything is back to normal working as expected. Any ideas as to what else I can enable to get these iPhones to roam better - if this is even possible. Can iPhones roam using a SIP app with zero voice interruption? This is the equipment that they got and can't get anything else so I got to make the best of this. Perhaps I've already done that? Any ideas/suggestions are very much appreciated.

Hi
Before any other think I would like you to upgrade your WLC image to 7.6.130.0 & FUS to 1.9.0.0. FUS upgrade will require 30-40min downtime to your wireless.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/fus_rn_OL-31390-01.html
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn76mr03.html
It tells me to disable 802.11a and 802.11b. If I go into each radio on 'Network' tab and disable these - NOTHING can connect to any SSID. So unless I've misunderstood something - this is a contradiction in the best-practice link I posted above,
This simply says, you have to disable radio band before changing QoS profile values. Once you change those value you can re-enable the radio band. :)
If I enable FT-PSK and PSK - for devices that support FT-PSK (which i'm under the impression is 802.11r) will these devices use that and for devices that don't they'll use 'regular' PSK? How do I know if my client is connecting using PSK or FT-PSK as both are enabled on the same WLAN.
Read these 802.11r post & you will understand how 802.11r works. There are certain client devices does not like PSK & FT-PSK capability advertise on the same SSID & may have connectivity issues. But most of the clients like iPhone, iPads,etc will connect without any problems.

http://mrncciew.com/2014/09/08/cwsp-802-11r-over-the-ds-ft/
"show client detail <mac_address>" should indicate if client connected over FT-PSK or PSK.

E71 draws more current via GPRS/3G connection

Hello Folks
I have a E71, "Product code 0558790 and firmware 410.21.010" I use the nokia email messaging software so internet connection type Edge/3G( Vodafone internet ) and the power consuption of 3G connection very high and battery is being empty every day. I charge the battery every day.
V300 and older fimware was not draws more current but 3G connection draws more current in the latest V400 and 410 software. How can I extend the battery life of my E71 phone.

Wlan scanning off every time and I load the nokia eneryg profiler program to phone so when the gprs data connection begin, eneryg consumption increasing from 0.18 watt to --> 1.5 - 2 watt. After the email check finished the consumption decreasing the 0.18 watt. Battery empty every day. No virus, adware etc in the phone, just gprs modem draws more current in the latest V400 and V410 firmware.
Your power figure of 0.18W suggests that there is something running in the background. On my E-71 I get around 0.04W power draw when no apps are running.
Are you running Garmin XT navigator program by any chance? If so, make sure that you've disabled the background services, which use a lot of power.

Cant connect to WLAN?

After installing IOS 4.0.2 on my iPhone cannot connect to WLAN anymore. Mostly it dont fint any WLAN's at all. Sometimes i can find a network, but when I try to connect I cant. No matter if it is an open WLAN or encrypted.
Is this a known problem with this upgrade?

I have found the cover over the sim card slot is a little fiddly to insert into the slot. Can you connect to your network operator (gsm or 3g) or does the phone stay in offline mode. A little more info would help.

Share my Mini's Internet connection over Ethernet?

Hi there,
My Mini is currently connected over wi-fi to my broadband connection. Next to my Mini is my TV. My TV is soon to be able to receive the BBC's iPlayer as I use Freesat (http://freesat.co.uk). The TV has an Ethernet socket with which I will need to connect to the Internet.
Can I use my Mini's Ethernet and ultimate wireless connection to provide my TV with an Internet connection?
I've just been investigating things in the Sharing section of Sys Prefs and I get a warning come up when I select Share from Ethernet and Share To Ethernet about my ISP cutting me off... I' with BT in the here in the UK - so not a cable provider, just an old fashioned copper wired ADSL line. Is the warning to be heeded or ignored?
Many thanks

Gotcha - many thanks.
Incidentally, am I able to set up my Xbox in the same way (assuming that I wouldn't have the TV connected at the same time as the Xbox).
Thanks,
Tom
