Two networks wep - wpa

I'll like to stream my music and other stuff wirelessly but I don't need or want to asscess the internet using wep. The question -- is there a system or process to set up two networks one with wep to listen to itunes then one with wpa to access the internet ....
thank you all
powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

I know I'm not very clear. What I'd like to do if
use wpa encription. I understand that wep is not as
strong as wpa. I understand that you can only use
wep for streaming itunes.
That is incorrect, using WPA on a wireless network will still allow you to stream AirTunes via a connected Airport Express base station in client mode (or even if using WDS).

  • WEP & WPA networking issues

    Hello...
    Well, I'm really chasing my tail here.
    I've got a mixed wireless network at home centered around an airport extreme base station. I've chosen "WPA2 personal security." I have 3 computers with airport extreme cards that work just fine with this, but I have two older imac 800s with original airport cards (firmware 9.5.2) & running Tiger 10.4.11. They cannot log onto this network cuz WPA isn't an option on the pulldown. I did an online search and came upon this page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2594?viewlocale=en_US
    Which leads me to believe it is POSSIBLE for an original airport to join a WPA network.....but it falls pretty short in terms of telling me exactly how to pull this off.
    Would appreciate some help.
    Thanks.

    Tim, a simple way to test would be to change the router to WEP, then setup the Mac with that and the password and make sure you can connect. If it works, then you can reset the other equipment accordingly.
    While I do not advocate use of WEP because of its weaknesses, that would get you going for the short term. Meanwhile, search the AirPort software download to find the latest that will work with your OS and card. If that is installed, make a copy of what you now have for backup if needed, and you can then go to WPA you can raise the security level of your network. But always make a copy of the appropriate software that is working before replacement...can never have too many backup copies.

  • I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is completely off.  What to check next?

    I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport wi-fi to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is disabled.  What to check next?

    On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt.  It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router.  Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

  • 10.4.9 Killed my WEP/WPA abilities

    Just updated to 10.4.9 on my Core 2 Duo black Macbook, and I can no longer connect to my home network via WEP or WPA. If I remove all encryption from the network, then 10.4.9 will work. The network is ok, because my Powerbook running Panther continues to work fine, whether the network is WEP or WPA.
    My router is a D-Link DI-624, but the MacBook worked fine with it before the update.
    Anyone else seeing anything like this? I need WEP/WPA access on my MacBook.

    Jay, I just upgraded and see exactly the same behavior on my MBP 17. It would appear its not WPA that is the problem but rather that the Airport Network password item in the KeyChain cannot be accessed and its an outright frigging bug that should have been caught in testing. Try this:
    Open Keychain access and find the entry in the System chain. Open it and check the box to show the password. Enter your keychain master password and you'll get an error accessing the password. Change to the access control pane and you'll be asked for the keychain password. It is accepted and works, but if you go back to the Attributes pane you get the same error for the show password value when you check the box on the Attributes pane.. pane.
    FWIW I checked the disk and permissions before installing the update AND I ran first aid on the keychain, trying to avoid EXACTLY this problem. I saw similar though more easily fixable problems upgrading to 10.4.7 and 10.4.8. I hate doing Mac upgrades you can gaurantee SOMETHING will break! Look like a trip to the genius bar tomorrow!
    My Access point is a DI-624 like yours and other system can aceess it just fine so its NOT the AP, its the software.

  • WEP & WPA on single SSID

    How can I configure a SSID that able to support WEP & WPA on the WLAN controller? The reason I ask because we are currently have LEAP/WEP and we want to move forward to PEAP/WPA. I have to use the same SSID with 2 type of encryption to support the transition.
    Thanks,

    Yes. WEP and WPA is allowed on the same SSID as long as you are at 4.0.206 or later. You can do this by creating two WLANs on the same controller.
    The controllers will allow each WLAN to have the same SSID *only* as long as they effect a different encryption security policy.
    Documented here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/cont402060rn.html#wp171887
    Here is an example (using the text commands since I can't post inline screen caps) I run where I do dynamic WEP along with WPA both using radius. When using radius, you can select any of supported EAP types for both the WEP and WPA WLANs.
    wlan create 1 MYSSID MYSSID-wep
    ! create WLAN 1 ssid "MYSSID"
    wlan create 2 MYSSID MYSSID-WPA
    ! create WLAN 2 ssid "MYSSID"
    wlan interface 1 vlan86
    wlan interface 2 vlan86
    Map them to the same interface. You can map them different ones.
    wlan session-timeout 1 1800
    wlan session-timeout 2 28800
    Set up radius re-auth session timeout. Make WEP with 802.1x shorter. if using static WEP (very very insecure), don't do this.
    wlan security 802.1X enable 1
    We enable 802.1x on our WEP SSID
    wlan radius_server auth add 1 1
    wlan radius_server auth add 1 2
    wlan radius_server auth add 2 1
    wlan radius_server auth add 2 2
    wlan radius_server auth add 2 3
    Assign the 2 wlans to their respective radius servers - primary and backup
    wlan security wpa disable 1
    disable wpa on the wep only wlan
    wlan security wpa wpa1 enable 2
    wlan security wpa wpa1 ciphers tkip enable 2
    add wpa1-tkip to wlan 2

  • Difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2 and better suggestion to use for shared family users

    What is the difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2? My router is set up on my family PC and connected to a modem so I access Wi-fi through my laptop and my sister has a laptop too and uses our family network to get internet. I just set up a WPA today, so will we all be able to get internet (along with my family using the pc, and my sis on her laptop, even at the same time) protected? (like nobody else using our network)

    Wired Equivalent Privacy, commonly called WEP is 802.11's first hardware form of security where both the WAP and the user are configured with an encryption key of either 64 bits or 128 bits in HEX. So when the user attempts to authenticate, the AP issues a random challenge. The user then returns the challenge, encrypted with the key. The AP decrypts this challenge and if it matches the original the client is authenticated. The problem with WEP is that the key is static, which means with a little time and the right tool a hacker could use reverse-engineering to derive the encryption key. It is important to note that this process does affect the transmission speed.
    WPA builds upon WEP, making it more secure by adding extra security algorithms and mechanisms to fight intrusion.
    WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is the new security standard adopted by the WiFi Alliance consortium. WiFi compliance ensures interoperability between different manufacturer’s equipment.WPA delivers a level of security way beyond anything that WEP can offer, bridges the gap between WEP and 802.11i networks, and has the advantage that the firmware in older equipment may be upgradeable.
    WPA2 is based upon the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard, which was ratified on July 29, 2004. The primary difference between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2 uses a more advanced encryption technique called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), allowing for compliance with FIPS140-2 government security requirements. 

  • Is there a way to connect to two networks simultaneously?

    Here is my scenario:
    I am an audio technician who travels from venue to venue for work have to constantly switch between two networks to do my job.  I use MAC OS w/ the most current version 10.9
    Example:
    99% of the time, there is venue provided wireless internet via DHCP, w/ no wired option available.  I log onto it for all my internet related productivity.  At the same time, I need to stay connected to a manual/static ip local network to remote & monitor audio hardware (wireless mic's, dsp drives, mixing consoles, etc).  I have the ability to use either a wired or wireless connection for the local manual network (new airport express, or wired line). 
    I go to my network preferences in my system prefs and can see a green confirmation indicator that both networks are indeed connected.  However, depending on which network i give priority to by "setting service order", the other network drops.  For example, today Im using a wired line to remote/monitor my audio systems on my manual/static ip network and can stay connected as long as i set my ethernet connection at the top of the 'service order' list.  As soon as I go to launch my Safari browser it says I am no longer connected to the internet, eventhough my network system preferences show I am still connected.  The only way I can get the internet to connect is to reset the 'service order' and put wi-fi back on top.  As soon as I do this though, my manual wired audio network loses it's connection.
    I should note some settings.  Today's networks:
    wireless (internet):
    ip: 10.100.1.159
    sm: 255.255.0.0
    router: 10.100.255.254
    wired (audio network):
    ip: 192.168.0.128
    sm: 255.255.255.0
    router: 192.168.0.1
    Is there a way to stay connected to both, regardless of the 'service order'?  I have a brand new airport express if putting something like that in-line helps in anyway.
    Best,
    Brian

    Is there a way to stay connected to both, regardless of the 'service order'?
    There can only be one active connection at any given time, no matter how many networks you may be connected to.

  • Connecting to two networks at the same time

    Hi Kadin,
    I am looking for the same answer for a long time. I have two situations that requires to connect to two different metworks and that is when I travel with my portable Linksys router WRT54GC .
    1. I stay at a hotel with a wireless Internet network connection and I try to use the network to access the Internet and then (2) I also need to access my external Maxtor harddrive to which I am connected through my portable router WRT54GC .
    2. I have an almost identical situation but instead of the hotel network now I have a brand new T-Mobil cell phone made by ITC, which is called Wings and it uses a new way to connect my laptop to the Internet by using a Windows Mobile 6 Internet-share connection, which basically connects my laptop to the T-Mobile network and assigns it a IP address.
    The problem that I have is that in both cases I can connect to each one of the networks separately but not simultaneously.
    Any advise as to how this can be done. I also tried the Wireless WET54G as a bridge with similar negative results.
    Thanks,
    Pole

    Ok not real clear on your setup, but here is the "networking answer" why you can not connect to two networks.
    A device must have an IP address on the same subnet of the device you want to establish a connection or an IP route must be known to the network routers, since your internal address are most likely in the reserved private range, no internet router is not going to know how to deliver the packets to the correct hosts.
    the simple answer is assign a secondary IP address to the network adapter on your laptop.
    In the windows IP address properties for secondary address you can not set a default gateway. Windows only has 1 default gateway.
    good luck

  • How to web filtering via two network cards?

    I have Installed Server 2008 and two network cards
    on my pc. One LAN card for clients access and one for internet router. I need to share internet connection to my client computers with
    web filtering. So how to do that? I need to block some sites to client access.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the WS 2008 to share Internet connection and provide web filtering function for internal clients.
    Internal clients –(NIC1) WS 2008(NIC2) – Internet router – Internet network
    Manually assign IP address, default gateway, DNS server, etc. on NIC2. Manually assign IP address, DNS server, etc. on NIC1.
    Install Network Policy and Access Services – Routing and Remote Access Services. Detailed steps reference:
    Install and Enable the Routing and Remote Access Service
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770798(v=ws.10).aspx
    Then open Routing and Remote Access and start configuration. Enable NAT on NIC2 to transfer IP address. Detailed steps reference:
    Enable and Configure NAT
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd469812.aspx
    Windows Server itself does not support web-based filter, third-party tools with application-layer firewall might be needed to realize this function. Configure WS as a router, it supports IP packet filtering, which specifies which type of traffic is allowed
    into and out of the router. Reference：

  • Why are my devices finding two networks with the same name in my house?

    I have Verizon FIOS (Actiontech router) connected with an ethernet cable to my Airport Express. Everything works beautifully through all three levels of my house...except... there are seemingly two networks in the house...a 192.X network (I think that is the Actiontech router), and a 10.X network (I think that must be the airport express)...
    Here is the problem...
    My devices (MACS, i-PADS, wireless printers) sometimes connect to the 192.X network (usually on channel 11) and sometimes they connect to the 10.X network (usually on channel 1). If the computers & i-PADS are not on the same network as the printers, then I can't print because the computer can't find the printer.
    With the printers, every time the power goes out it's a crapshoot to see which network they reconnect to...and I have not found a way to manually choose a network since both networks have the same name and password (and I think they have to be set up that way in order for the Airport Express to work properly with the Verizon router.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    OK, thanks. Did you see the message I posted right after your previous reply? I'm copying it here. Would choosing option two below, "join a wireless network" vs. "create a wireless network" be similar (or the same) as running in bridge mode?  Thanks.
    Tried a different MAC in my house using Lion instead of Mavericks and was able to open a version of Airport Utility. I couldn't find the tabs as in your picture; however, I did find a box that says, "This airport express is set up to create a wireless network." Three options are then listed as follows:
    1- create a wireless network (the one that is checked)
    2- join a wireless network
    3- disable wireless and connect to a computer or network using Ethernet
    If I choose option two above, would that solve the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Connect to two networks, ethernet(LAN w/o internet), wireless(w/ internet)

    so i'm trying to connect to two networks, a wireless and a wired one
    the wireless(which connect to an access point) is a network which allows me to connect to internet, and the wired(regular router) one is a small home local network, which does not connect to internet.
    if i just have the wireless one on, unplug/disable wired one, i can connect to internet just fine, but if i do plug in ethernet cable, then all of the sudden i can't connect to internet anymore.
    in my Network Coonections window, it does show that the wireless one has "Access to Network and Internet" while the wired one has "Access to Network only". I'd assume that the computer is smart enough to find its way to internet, but apparently not.
    is there a way to set a preference, so vista tries to find internet conncetion thru wireless first, before go on to the wired network?
    I konw this is technically possible, because on my mac, i can set in such way that it takes certain connection first
    thanks in advance

    I think I am getting it but still no joy.
    On the WiFi connection to FIOS Router I have manually set metric to 1.
    On Same PC in Ethernet I have removed gateway and set a metric to 10.
    Before I did this connection to Internet was very slow when the Ethernet cable plugged in and Interface Enabled. After removing gateway and setting metrics access to Internet AOK.
    I have working Homegroup, network printer but no Internet access from Hardwired PC.
    Cannot ping FIOS router @ 192.168.1.1 from hardwired PC. Destination host unreachable.
    NMAP Quick Scan 192.168.1.* never sees 192.168.1.1
    So, I'm still not routing properly.

  • Dhcp across two network

    Hi,
    We are running into a problem with dhcp. Diagram is attached here.
    portion on the left side belongs to Network A & right side is network B. These two networks are seperated by Firewall B.
    Firewall B has minimal rules & permits traffic between the two Network A & B. On network B , 6506 does all routing.
    The edge switch in Network B has users connected to it. But these users(vlan50) connected to this edge switch are actually belonging to Network A, they are physically attached there.
    Layer 3 interface Vlan 50 - 172.16.50.0/24 is configured on the Firewall A & on its interface , dhcp relay is pointed to 172.16.70.10 ( dhcp server).
    Firewall A does all routing for this portion in Network A.
    Appropriate routing is in place on both sides. We have created vlan 50 ( layer 2 ) in Core 6506 in Network B.
    We are trying to see if  these users (in vlan 50-172.16.50.0/24) can get an ip address via dhcp server from Network A.
    This proves to be unsuccessful.
    It will be really helpful if people can help us out.
    Thanks in advance.

    John, thanks for the reply.
    Layer 3 for Vlan 50 - 172.16.50.0 /24 is configured on Firewall A . The 6506 only has vlan 50 in its layer 2 database.
    Helper address/relay pointing to 172.16.70.10 is configured on Vlan 50 interface on Firewall A.
    Both the firewalls have the broad rules which permit all traffic in between these two segment of network.
    Appreciate all inputs.

  • Two network cards configuration

    Hi
    I have problem with my network - I have two network cards and it seems they can't live both but I need them both so:
    1st card (rtl8139) is connected to cable modem and gets ip by DHCP (eth0="dhcp" in rc.conf)
    2nd card (nv forcedeth) is connected to router and gets ip by DHCP too (eth1="dhcp")
    When I start them both -> 1st and 2nd card gets good IP by DHCP but when I want to ping google.com for example packet is lost.
    What I want ? I want to use my eth0 (1st card) for internet and my 2nd card for local network.
    ##EDIT##
    My resolv.conf is 192.168.1.1 but I need DNS from 1st interface -> how to do this?
    Last edited by cpu (2007-02-22 22:46:09)

    Messy setup IMO, but anyway....
    Your faulty resolv.conf is the reason you can't ping google. Edit it manually as required, and then use the -R flag in /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd to prevent it being overwritten. DHCP on both interfaces will probably cause routing issues as well, in which case you will need the -G flag.

  • Connect to two networks?

    I'm using my next door neighbors wi-fi (splitting the bill with him). I'm trying to use my AE in (Bridge? mode) connected to my Lacie external harddrive. I set up the AE "internet" for "Off (bridge mode)" and my external harddrive shows up under "disks".
    My problem right now is that I don't know how to connect to both the neighbors Wi-fi internet network and my AE to wirelessly access my external harddrive? Is it possible to connect to two networks? Or is there a better way of doing this?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello ianbroste. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    In order to "combine" networks, your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) would have to be configured to extend the wireless range of your neighbor's router. This would (potentially) only work if his router is also another 802.11n AirPort.

  • Network stream Two network adaptor cards in PC comms with crio

    Hi all,
    I have two network adaptor cards in my pc which i think is causing my problems when collecting data over the tcp. 
    I'm seeing an error message -314340 from the create network stream write/read my address match up and i'm using a template crio vibration data logger. 
    I have two network cards in my pc. I think the error is a tcp one and I’m wondering if this is causing the problem. I’ve given the crio a static ip address 10.0.0.2 with mask 255.255.0.0
    You can see the network adaptor below and it’s ip address 10.0.0.1 so I’m connected directly to this via ethernet cable. However from the Routes print cmd I don’t see the 10.0.0.2. Also the gateway for the crio is default at 0.0.0.0
    Do I need to add the route to the list ? I found the cmd for that which I don’t think I’m using right… route ADD 10.0.0.2 MASK 255.255.0.0 10.0.0.1
    Cheers
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi i'm using the crio data logger template from the create project list:
    I'll post my code and some pretty pictures to help explain myself
    I'm using a different crio, so i created a new project and configured the FPGA vi for my hardware, then added the host side. I can run the code see the waveforms after 10 seconds it outright crashes and i've been searching through all the error messages tracking it back to some unfound reason. The irony is sometimes the program creates a tdms file and makes a deposit in the crio folder/deposit (this is defined from an xml file)
    I do notice within a few seconds the cpu on the waveform panel increases to 70+% before crash, so i'm also thinking the FIFO read is at fault, but it could be another red heiring (just installing the real time exection package so i can trace this better).
    I've changed the number of channels from the default 4 to 2 please look in the VibConfig.xml file to see the change as the [Host] Create Config XML.vi doesn't like to changing the channel from 4 for some reason. 
    My set up is [SENSORS] ==> [cRIO] ==ETHERNET==> [PC] Please help
