Switching between a 802.1x at school and my home wireless network
Hey,
I've been having some problems trying to figure out how I can swap between my university wireless network and my home WI-Fi network
my university network uses
802.1x WPA2 Enterprise and the authentication is PEAP
my problem is once I create a new network location for my uni and enter in the details under the 802.1x tab in advanced settings, even after I change to another location and try to connect to my home network I can still see under the 802.1x tab that my uni setting are there. I am wondering if there is a way so that you can keep the 802.1x setting and proxy setting separate for each location as it seems to carry over the settings to every network location?

two locations - 1 network in each location...different networks in each location.
do you mean create a location for each then delete the airport service that would usually be automatically created in that location then in both locations create a new airport service which should make their setting individual from one another? cause I have already tried this and it didn't seem to work
thanks for your help though
it seems impossible which is seems stupid when they have a location feature wouldn't this be to allow you to create individual setting for each network location you go to?

Airport Ext. 4th Gen. and our Home Wireless Network in chaos?
Hi,
In the past 10-12 days (started the week prior to last) approx (May 20th to May 24th ) was the "beginning" of out of the blue random and various (as far as which laptop computer or desktop computer would connect to our home network. Time Warner in N.East Ohio is our ISP provider and have been out three times. We have a mixture of computers (iMac 800 mGZ running OSX 10.3.9 via ethernet from rear of Airport Extreme ( Airport Utility=V 5.6.1)
A-Port Extreme 4th Generation (Firmware V 7.6.3 (followed Aiport utilty popup when did update > reading up on it)
Also have a iMac 2010 OSX 10.6.8 , a iPad (latest version (?4 vs. 3) purchased Dec. 2012 and iOS up to date and also airport utilty for it , (it will do online wi fi at work (School based ) but at home is very problemtic (suddenly)
iPod Touch 2nd Generation (max iOS will go online each time at home so far ) re:Windows 7 based Computers
aDell Mini Laptop is hit miss , a recent Sony Vaio is not connecting at all and when it did could not print to a cross-platform HP Laser Jet wi fi printer (can hook up via USB also (Printer) A self built Tower (windows 7 with a SSD and a 7200RPM HD as a second drive connects most of the time (using a USB wi fi "dongle " (?) would a wi fi card be better
Note : We are at the point of recycling the Motorola SURFboard Doscis II Cable modem , the 4th Generation Airport Extreme and restart computers (and have also unplugged the computers and * the complete system (overnight=C-Modem, Airport Extreme and any all Computers and iOS devices (shut off if unplugging not a issue or option)
I read over in User Tips (Airport-Complete Power Recycle last modified 4.21.2012 in Apple Support Communities
I am going to do that (reset to default settings out of the box ) * We also purchased at the same time as The Airport Extreme (4th Gen) a 1st Generation Airport Express (802.11n 2.4-5.0) (not the second generation dual band Airport Express currently sold in the Apple Store (but ? am considering (based on outcome of complete Recyle adding it to extend our network as prior some users got 3-4 bars etc ) we had a 802.11b/g airport express
but never utilized it for some reason (we started with a Netgear 802.11b it lasted a month (they sent out a new one ) bought a white dome Airport 802.11b(or ) then a D-Link 802.11b/g that failed constantly (I do not recall the model) then in late 2009 bought a MacBook Pro, and also The 4th Generation Airport Extreme and as we added devices (computers Mac or Windows) iOS devices iPod Touch 2nd generation and most recent a iPad
all had worked without connectivity issues until date above
oddly (the Cable Modem=all lights including activity(blinked as supposed to or were solid as designed
and the Airport Extreme light stayed Green ... (other then when doing a recycle the Modem would synch then the Airport Extreme would be Amber (soldid for a few seconds, then blinked amber for a few seconds then turned Green.
I isolated the Motorola Surfboard Modem (ethernet out to a older imac and it got online (with A-Port Extreme ethernet connection disconnected-then did a recycle and wired in the Airport Extreme (WAN) to Cable Modem Docis II and then ethernet from rear of Airport Extreme (and the iMac (2004 with a Airport Card in it) went online
We use ethernet connection on it due to its security limits (type of ) where all other computers and iOs devices

I realize this is long (and some one can pull out possibly a quick option or issue (I did check the A-Port Utility settings and also power output (a MacWorld Article in March 2013 page 90 gave the ratio and there are other ways to do it as well (and out put wise (Signal) we are in the excellent range but when have connectivity issues

diamondblues a.k.a David K.Hi There,
I appear to be having the same issue. I have been using my provided time warner router and wifi with all of my Apple devices without an issue until recently. It appears that my macbook pro and twc router will not initiate the "handshake". I get a wrong password was entered or network error message. I contacted twc and they reset my router and renamed it along with a new password. This initially fixed the issue for maybe a day or so. Then the problem began all over again. I have been through he ringer, reinstalled osx, deleted plist...etc contacted apple care and twc. At this point both parties have been no help what so ever... So I connected a new western digital wifi router and all of a sudden I'm getting amazing speed and connectivity. I'm still puzzled as to why all of a sudden my macbook pro or Internet would just quit working... If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears and any help would be great.

I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link - 601 tech. 802.11n. My eMac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?
You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both. Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher. -
Hi,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" with SSD 256 Gb and its almost a brand-new (the 4th time to use the device) a while ago i was trying to connect to my home wireless network it said that the connection is timed out so i clicked the airport sign on the top it said that your airport is not configured then I restarted the system but it didn't restarted it showed the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel for more than 10min so I tried the force shutdown by pressing the power button till it switched off I waited for 5min then pressed the power button to start or boot the system and again the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning wheel, I waited for more than 20min nothing changed, any solution please?
Your help is really appreciated"Thanks a lot i followed the instructions for safe mode (i found out that i was pressing the C button after restarting) i did whats written there but the repair couldn't be performed so in addition i needed to re-formate the HD so i erased the volume and then repaired the disk--> quite disk utilities --> start the installation from the installation DVD.
Thanks really appreciating your help -
I have 2 macs and 2 PC (Windows 7) laptops in my home wireless network. (The iMac is hardwired via ethernet to the Airport/Time Capsule; the others are wireless connections using Airport). I want to use the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule as a network backup drive for all 4 computers. Is this possible? Could someone help me by telling me how to configure it? I know I will have to use different backup software in the 2 Windows 7 Laptops? Do I need to use the Windows backup software, or can I use a third party program like Acronis True Image? Thanks in advance for the help
It is your fault, pondini.. all your fault.
I read of all the things that go wrong restoring Time Machine backups.. particularly stupid things like mail, photo libraries don't go back.. etc. And looking through the incredible number of issues people have here, when their Mac finally takes a dive how hard it is to restore.
I restored a test hard disk from a TC.. and it takes ages and ages to even make up its mind to start.
I worked in computer support for ages, but not Macs.. so my experience is ghost.. ghost images.. on large commercial server setups, can stream restore to multiple computers at once.. even doing it computer by computer the image is simple as network boot to restore. But ghost went the way of Symantec.. sigh!! And was destroyed.
A product like clonezilla, Free linux boot cd.
http://lifehacker.com/5078397/clonezilla-backs-up-and-restores-your-disks
Can backup a Hard disk in just about any format.. yet to try it on a Mac to a TC.. but I will. Boot from CD.. instead of your lost Lion partition which no longer exists (because the hard drive had to be replaced) and the DVD they no longer give you, and restore the entire hard disk in a couple of hours .. to the exact image at the point you made the clone.. in any format, with any partitions.
My bet is that it will kill TM .. but you could be right.
It is just the prospect of all those permission changes, photos and mail libraries etc that worry me. -

Can I extend both a 2.4Ghz and a 5Ghz wireless network coming from a Timecapsule with a second Timecapsule / Extreme at the same time?
I am currently extending my 5Ghz network via an Express without any problems, but the Express can only extend either / or. I just want full coverage for both networks in the whole house.
If you can extend 5 GHz now with an AirPort Express and get satisfactory results, then the AirPort Extreme will work to extend both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands in the same location.
However, your computer is going to connect to the band with the strongest signal, so it may....or may not....connect to 5 GHz given a choice of two signals. -
I have an mdi applicaton in Visual studio 2010 (.Net framework 4.0). I'm having a flickering problem when user switch between an MDI Child form. I'm declaring the child form then setting the borderstyle.none at design time and dock property to fill
through programming and make them a MDIChildren before I show them so that it takes up the entire space of the MDI Parent window without being maximized (client request).
i don't want to display control box(minimize, maximize,close) of child form in mdi parent form. (client request)
The problem is that when the child form is being displayed it is briefly shown in it's default size with icon and control box before being resized to fill the available area on the MDI Parent form. When a Child Form loads, you can see it in it's original
size (the size from Design-time) then all this flickering while maximizing .
In other words, child form show up in the client area of the MDIForm, not maximized, with a caption, very shortly, before they are finally filling the client area. there is a short flicker when a new form is created and displayed. This process is most noticeable
with a not-so-powerful PC or there are lots of control inside child form.
below is my code to show child form
MyChild1 c1 = new MyChild1();
c1.MdiParent = MdiMainParent;
c1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
c1.Show();
how can i solved the problem of flickering issue?
I tried many options which i have described below
1.double buffering.
2.set style property to child form
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint, true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
3. override below method in each child form
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
get
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
cp.ExStyle |= 0x02000000;
return cp;
4. override below method in each child form
const int WM_NCPAINT = 0x85;
const int WM_SIZE = 0x05;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
if (m.Msg == WM_NCPAINT)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
if (m.Msg == WM_SIZE)
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized)
return;
base.WndProc(ref m);
but I didn't see any effects. please someone help me to resolve flickering issue. thanks in advance.Hi hardikvaishnav,
This is a known issue which has been reported to Microsoft Connect. Unfortunately, this issue will not fix due to stability issues around MDI. For more details, see
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/97787/border-of-mdi-child-form-flashes-up-despite-formborderstyle-none.
You might use a user control or panel instead.

How to switch between 2 Parent Tab Sets main and main2
Hi,
I have the following structure:
Parent-Tab-Set: main
Parent-Tab : Parent 1
Child-Tab : Child 1
Parent-Tab : Parent 2
Child-Tab : Child 2
Parent-Tab-Set: main2
Parent-Tab : Parent 3
Child-Tab : Child 3
Parent-Tab : Parent 4
Child-Tab : Child 4
Now I want to create a new Parent Tab in main, but always creates it in main2
My goal:
Parent-Tab-Set: main
Parent-Tab : Parent 1
Child-Tab : Child 1
Parent-Tab : Parent 2
Child-Tab : Child 2
Parent-Tab : Parent 5
Child-Tab : Child 5
Who understand this Tab-Thing... ;)
Thanks, JuergenHi Kappy,
well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
WHY NOT???
Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.
Cheers

IPhone 3G and "electrical outlet" wireless networks
I'm going to be borrowing some hardware devices that can be used to set up a wireless network via the existing electrical power lines in a room ("power line networking"). I'm vaguely aware of this technology, but my brother-in-law is familiar with it and has the gear to lend to me.
I'll be overseas in Europe and my plan is to set up a wireless environment in the hotel room with this hardware. From there, the intent is to have my 3G iPhone connect to this network.
Easy? Hard? Something in between?You'll need something that can extend that network onto an 802.11 wireless network. An Apple AirPort Express Base Station (or similar) and an ethernet cable would do the job. That's assuming that this electrical network gear provides a place to plug in a standard RJ-45 ethernet cable.
If you use something that's capable of 802.11n, make sure it's not set to N-only mode.
A laptop with both wired and wireless ethernet could also do it. On a Mac, go to System Preferences -> Sharing and turn on Internet Sharing.
Before plugging anything in, make sure that this power line network gear can handle the 220V/50Hz outlets. -
How to set up full access and limited access wireless networks to laptops
Dear Apple,
I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
Regarding the computers:
(1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
(4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
Thank you in advance,
David.The basic method for remote access is not changed.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You have a few issues.
The really big one.. the school firewall should not let you connect to home.
Check the IT admin at your school but if they allow anything but a few protocols like http and https through, they are not doing their job. You cannot afford in a large network to have every Tom Dick and Harry access any open device.. that can introduce viruses and trojans into the network behind the firewall.
The general method for remote access on large networks is vpn and the TC offers no vpn connection.. just AFP.
If you intend using 3G wireless stick or the like then you can get access.
The next issue is static public IP or how to find the TC.. you need some way to find the IP if your ISP does not offer static ip, and the tc has no dyndns client. Since Apple shut down new users for mobileme and will close that service there is no method to find the TC IP without owning your own domain. You would be better placing the TC in bridge behind a router that does offer dyndns and port forward AFP (TCP 548) to it. -
WRT54G2 and Iomega Home Media Network HDD
So I am on my second HDD with Iomega. I am thinking now that this is a router problem rather than a HDD problem. I have a 1TB Iomega home media network drive, eversince I bought my router and began using it I have been unable to use my HDD. It is hard wired to the router via RJ-45 cable and both units have been reset and powered up in about every order you can imagine. I have reset factory defaults on the router and made security changes to ensure there was nothing blocking that port. I am at wits end. I cannot connect to the HDD and the drive flashes yellow and blue indicating it cannot estabilsh or receive an IP address from the router. Can anone help me with this. The drive has already been replaced once after the same symptoms occurred previously. Any help is appreciated.
Per the Iomega support site:
How do I find the Home Media Network Hard Drive on my network?
Install the Iomega Home Storage Manager software. Once the installation completes, the Iomega Home Storage Manager icon will appear in the system tray (Windows) or Menu Bar (Mac) and your computer will automatically be connected to the Home Media drive's shared folders.
NOTE: If no DHCP server is found on your network the Home Media Drive will get the self-assigned IP address 169.254.55.82.
NOTE: The Iomega Home Storage Manager will automatically scan your network and connect to available shared folders. If you receive a message from your operating system's firewall alerting you of network activity, click the unblock button.
Mac Users: The Iomega Home Media drive's shared folders should mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.
PC Users: The Iomega Home Media drive's shared folders will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.
Also see the User Manual for the drive or the Iomega online support site.
The network drive has a menu system to allow the user to configure the network settings for the drive. Log into the drive per the User Manual directions and check the Network settings to ensure the Automatic (DHCP) is enabled. When this option is enabled it should pull an IP address from the router.
One other option is to configure the IP setting to Manual in the Network page on the network drive and input an IP address (Static IP Address) outside of the IP addresses the router will hand out via its DHCP server. You would also have to fill out any additional settings for the Manual option. So for example if the router is configured for IP address of 192,16.1.1, and a starting DHCP IP address of xxx.xxx.xxx.100 and a Maximum Number of DHCP Users of 50 than set the network drive's IP address to 192.168.1.200, or any ending IP number between 151 and 254, or between 2 and 99. That way it won't conflict with the router's DHCP address assignments and it will always have the same IP address. -
Airport Express and a Netgear Wireless network
Hi,
I am thinking of getting an Airport Express to be able to stream iTunes to my HiFi.
However I have an existing wirless network provided by a Netgear Wireless router / ASDL modem. I would like to keep the netgear as it provides my internet access.
Can an Airport Express live happily alongside the existing wireless network? Or would it create its own wireless network. Meaning my imac would either have to be on the internet (via the netgear) or the Airport Express network?
If it's a problem, does anyone have any alternative solutions?I use a three+ year old Netgear DG834G as my wireless router and an Airport Express to stream to my hi-fi with no problems at all (apart from drop-outs when I use my microwave oven at the same time). Use the Airport setup app to configure the Express to 'join an existing wireless network' as a wireless client. It took five minutes. I've never had to reset it, either.

Multiple Airports with private and isolated guest wireless networks available from both
Hi,
I've been searching online for some equipment that can do what i want to do without going into the enterprise grade and spending $5000 on Cisco gear.
Consider two locations approx 80m apart - Primary is a house, and secondary location is a garage. A Cat6 run exists between the two.
The goal would be to have a wireless primary router in the house for wired and private wireless internet access, with an additional Guest wireless that is isolated from the private network that I can turn on and off if guests are coming over.
In addition, the second location should also support both wired and wireless connections.
It seems simple to me, one device in each location. The WAN port on the garage device would connect back to the house device. The two devices should be smart enough to know that one is extending the other. Someone on the guest wireless that is connected via the garage AP would not be able to see the wired devices even though it's traffic is going across the same wire back to the primary router.
Can I do this without spending a fortune?
ThanksTwo Apple AirPorts would do most....but not all...of what you want.
A few notes.....
In order for the guest network feature to work correctly on an AirPort router, the "main" AirPort in the house must connect to a simple modem......not a modem/router or gateway device. That is a deal killer for some users right there.
When the guest network is activated in the garage, it must be activated for both AirPorts....house and garage.
You could actiivate the guest network for the house and leave the guest network off in the garage if you wanted, no problem there.....but.....you could not activate the guest network in the garage without also activating it in the house first.
"Guests" can only connect to the guest network using wireless. Up to you to decide if you want to leave the guest network open or use a password that would need to be used to connect to the network.
But.....If "guests" had physical access to the AirPort in the garage....and they connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the AirPort in the garage, they would be connecting to your main or private network.
So, if something like this was a concern, you would have to either hide the AirPort in the garage and trust that users would not find it....or....find some way to limit access to the back panel of the AirPort so that users could not connect to it using an Ethernet cable.
If the features and installation limitations are acceptable, you could spend as little as $100 for each AirPort Express.
If you wanted better performance from the AirPort in the house, you could use an AirPort Extreme there...about $200 and an AirPort Express in the garage.
The deluxe option would be to use two AirPort Extremes.
Finally, you would want to make sure that you understood the store's return policy before you buy.....in case something unexpected crops up, as can sometimes be the case. -
Extending home wireless network with 802.11b/g Airport Expresses
Home Setup: iMac with iSight G5 2.1GHz PPC, OS X Leopard 10.5.8, 2.5GB memory, 2 Airport expresses-802.11b/g.
Up to just recently, I was able to use my AE's to create a whole house wireless network: one as my main network connected to my cable modem, and the other as a wireless network extender. My extender got pulled out one day accidentally, and when I went to plug it in it wouldn't reconnect to my network...and so the problems began. Airport Utility used to give the option of "Extending the Wireless Network", but no more.
I've done a lot of searching through the forums regarding this issue, read through the sage advice by superusers Tesserax and Bob Timmons, and attempted to set up my main AE as my "WDS Main" AE and the other as my "WDS Remote". The WDS main connects fine to the internet, but the WDS remote continues to show a flashing amber light and inability to extend my wireless network. I've done soft and hard resets to the remote AE (which transiently gives me a green light, then back to flashing amber), network diagnostics using the Airport utility, but still no luck. The AE wireless extender continues to flash amber and is nonfunctional.
AE Wireless extender settings reported:
-WIreless Mode: Create a wireless network
-Connect using: Ethernet
AE Errors reported:
-Ethernet Unplugged
-Default Settings
I setup the AE Wireless extender as a WDS Remote, it resets and shows "Normal" without problems reported in the summary window of Airport Utility. Connection indicated as "Airport (WDS)" and Wireless Mode reads "participate in a WDS network", but the AE is still flashing amber and will not connect to the internet or Main WDS wireless network.
Went to the Genius Bar at the local mac store...they couldn't help at all.
I'm out of answers...help?!
AllanThere are basically two "flavors" of WDS that the AirPorts support: static & dynamic.
o A static WDS allows for a main, relay, and remote base stations in the configuration. This only operates in the 802.11g radio mode. Its advantage is it is well suited when you are trying to cover a considerable linear range ... like a rectangular house where the Internet connection comes in at one of the shorter sides and you want wireless at the other end. The biggest disadvantage of this type of WDS is that for every base station added, you lose half the overall bandwidth.
o A dynamic WDS allows for only a single main and multiple remotes. Think of a wheel with the main at the center and the remotes as spokes of the wheel. The advantage of this type of WDS is it operates in the 802.11n radio mode and doesn't suffer a significant bandwidth loss like the static version.
As a minimum, a dynamic WDS requires two 802.11n AirPorts (or Time Capsules). You can create a static WDS with either all 802.11g AirPorts or a mix of 802.11n & 802.11g AirPorts. Note; however, you cannot create a dynamic WDS with mixed mode base stations.
