USB External HD with WRT350N - How to Avoid Entering Password to Access?

I just purchased my new WRT350N primarily to use the storage link feature. I have connected a 300 GB HP personal media drive (USB) to the router. The router shows up on my home network just fine. I have one wired desktop and one wireless desktop (both XP SP2) and one wireless laptop (Vista Ultimate 64-bit). When I connect to the router in XP ("My Network Places") or in Vista ("Network"), I have to enter a username (default "admin") and password (default "admin") to access the router and get to my external HD. I use the HD to, among other things, store my Thunderbird mail profile (which includes all my e-mail folders) and my KeyPass password database, as well as other applications that I want to use from my various computers. Having to use a password means I can't connect to the drive on start-up, use shortcuts to applications on the HD, etc. It's a pain in the butt, basically. Is there any way to configure the router to allow access to it, and my external HD, without the password (e.g., MAC filters)? Any other workaround's? Many thanks.

Hi,
Have you tried enabling "Reconnect at logon" when mapping the drive?

Yes, I have tried the "Reconnect at Logon" switch selected. What happens then is that I get an error message on startup stating "Unable to Connect Some Network Drives" or something similar. I still have to use the username and password to get through the router to my external drive. I just got off the phone with Linksys tech support, a nice, knowledgeable Indian fellow who affirmed that the router could not be accessed without having to sign in. He said it was "for my security." It strikes me as odd that you can completely disable the security features of your entire wireless network by simply adjusting some settings in the router setup. But you CANNOT disable the security feature of the router access! How weird can you get - Linksys allows you to completely leave your network unprotected, but by god, you're not gonna get into that router!!! He said all of the USB-equipped routers have the same feature - Netgear, Belkin, D-link ... I am SO frustrated! I bought, and returned, the Belkin "wireless" network hub before I got the 350N. It was not possible to run Thunderbird using a profile on the HD (connected to the hub USB) because of severe stability issues. Guess what? Same thing happens when I run it through the Linksys router! Firefox simply shuts down. There was never an issue when I ran Firefox on the external HD when it was connected to my desktop. So, the search goes on - trying to find a way to access my external HD without having to have it connected to a powered PC. What a drag ...

  • Using a usb external drive with logic

    I have a 500 GB Lacie usb hard drive which I'm currently using just to backup my system. (Still on Tiger by the way.) I'm in an older intel iMac (1.83. 2 gigs ram, 250 gig internal hard drive). After installing LP 8 and all the bells and whistles on the internal drive I now have less than half of my internal drive space available. My logic project files are there as well. Not a big problem but I'm trying to look further down the road... Usb drives are slower than firewire but my projects are relatively simple. I don't record more than 2 tracks simultaneously and rarely exceed 24 tracks total for a song. Two questions. First can I get by with my usb external drive? And second how do I move my projects onto and external drive and still have logic know where they are? Thanks

    I have the oldest macbook (1.83. 2 gigs ram, 60 gig internal hard drive)
    I have all my logic content on my external maxtor firewire 400 drive (usb 2.0 is actually faster than firewire 400) and everything is fine. the good thing is if your external drive has 7200rpm, but the ones with 5600rpm should do as well.
    Once you drag your apple loops to logic from your external drive, logic will remember for the next visit. And when you are opening a project which is on the external drive , just find it with logic finder and all should be fine.

  • Automount of SD card & USB external HDD with strange KDE pop up msg

    Today I reviewed lots of threads posted over the last year and some bug reports too about this issue, but it's happening for me too. Both SD card and USB external HDD have autodetectable filesystems on them because I can mount them by hand with "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt" and "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt". But it would be nice if I didn't have to do that.
    Although I didn't notice which explicit install that I did pulled them in as dependencies, I do have udisk2 and polkit installed. Also installed udiskie as a wrapper. I've been mounting these volumes by hand before now because I feel like I'm still learning the ropes of The Arch Way and guessed (apparently incorrectly) that mounting volumes by hand was just part of "The Arch Way". But based on some threads here and some bug reports, I guess this used to work in Arch but has been causing some problems for some people lately when they upgrade. I just installed Arch for the first time (using the 2015.02.01 iso image), so I don't have any background to go on.
    So what is The Arch Way for automounting external drives? I've skimmed the wiki article for this and because "Development of udisks has ceased in favor of udisks2." it seems that udisks2 is preferred. But it got installed and the daemon is running for me. The user is in the wheel group. dbus is running (though like one person who filed a bug, I too have several instances of dbus in my ps -aux output and I'm not sure if that is as it should be or not). I've done no special configuration ("not wittingly" anyway; I promise, my name is not James Clapper) that I think would have affected this.
    So for a newb with no special preference, how should automounting be configured in a new Arch system? In other words, what should be my first steps in trying to solve this problem for myself? I know there are lots of different ways to skin this cat, but I'd prefer the simplest and most elegant solution that does not depend on KDE or GNOME or other unnecessary tools. I've just (with this Arch system I just installed) begun using i3wm and I think I'll be sticking with it. That said, however, it's clear that I inadvertently/unwittingly managed to get some elements of KDE into memory as the following http://gamonics.org/img/2015-02-26-1731 … _scrot.png shows. This popped up both times, when I plugged in my SD card and when I plugged in my USB drive. Any thoughts on what's going on here? I did install okular explicitly because I think it's one of the best PDF viewers, but I don't understand why KDE is reporting anything to me when I'm running i3 and insert an SD card or a USB disk.
    And in the terminal, I get this output (apparently from udiskie):
    [root@archippocrates archie]# Failed to show notification: The connection is closed
    not adding /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/mmcblk0: unhandled device
    mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/mmcblk0p1 on /media/3532-3338
    Failed to show notification: The connection is closed
    Although the volume does get mounted automatically.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    I personally can't answer the question of "simplest and most elegant" way of mounting devices. It all depends on what you want. If you expect more exotic functionality, say correct unmounting of devices if they were disconnected during a sleep cycle, there's probably no way around udisks2. For that you get a complex piece of software prone to... unexpected behaviour. Mind you some of it is related to front-ends like GVFS.
    As to your KDE issues, last I checked mount handling was disabled by default there, but you can control it manually (see man kcmshell4). Though I haven't followed up on KDE 5 developments. If going with udisks2, I'd recommend using devmon from the udevil package as a front-end (more details on the wiki udisks page).
    PS: multiple dbus instances are expected, check the user names and specified arguments in the ps output.

  • How to avoid multiple password prompt for intarnet portal

    we have developed a intranet portal in Share Point 2013 with multiple site collection. when accessing through IE, Chrome, we can do settings to avoid multiple password prompt by adding the domain name of site in Trusted sites. How we can achieve the same in Safari while accessing through MAC or IPAD

    first time when you call the BSP application from the browser (or by double clicking the BSP_APPLICATION link from SAP GUI) you need to pass user credentials. For further windows this will not be required as browser will remember your info.
    if you need to <b>somehow</b> avoid this then the only option is to hard code the user id and password in the service in transaction SICF or by passing the same via URL.
    Another option is that if you port this application in a SAP portal environment, SSO can be used .
    Hope this helps.

  • Drop-down lists: how to avoid entering long item lists by hand

    Hello all,
    I am very new to LiveCycle Designer. I want to create a form containing several drop-down lists. Each of them have a relatively long (up to 30-40) list of pre-defined items that can be selected at filling time. Those lists, btw, can also change from time to time.
    My question is: how can I avoid entering by hand those long list of items?
    I have seen from the online help that LiveCycle Designer supports a "binding" mechanims that should allow me to load those item lists from an "example XML" file. I have done several tests, but never succeded. I just do not what XML fields should be used. For instance, I have named a drop-down lists as "List1", then tried to feed an XML file like the following:
    This and other similar attemps just cause LiveCycle Designer to cough and show error messages.
    Someone is willing to show me how to do the job?
    TIA to all volunteers.

    Please tel me how to encrypt the entering password to compare with existing encrypted password.

    Just restore it by putting the phone into DFU mode. You will loose every thing but it will be back to normal pal
    Press and hold power and home button together for 10 seconds by connecting it to cable, leave the power button but keep holding the home button for 30 seconds and it will go into DFU mode. Open Itunes and just perform a restore or update

  • Setting up a USB external Drive with USB Hub on Airport Extreme

    I have successfully hooked up the Airport Extreme Base Station (n) with two printers using a USB Hub. I am now trying to hook up an external hard drive(acomdata 250 gb). When I plug the hard drive into the Hub and turn the drive on the Airport Extreme Base station resets to amber and flashes green for a second then resets to amber again and it keeps doing that until I shut the drive down. I have a Mac Book Pro and an iMac on the network as well as a HP pavilion a730n on the network. I am able to share files between the PC and the Macs; however I can't seem to share the external hard drive. I tested the external hard drive by hooking it up directly to the Mac book and after a few seconds it mounted correctly and I was able to read and write.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    What version of the AE firmware are you running? If you upgraded to 7.1, LOTS of people have discovered that Apple broke the USB connectivity for both disks and printers big time. With the 7.1 firmware version a few people can see the disks, but most people CANNOT see the printers.

  • ABAP Program analysis with se30 how to avoid time out ?

    Hi Gurus,
    my problem is that I would like to analysis the performance issues of an ABAP Specific transaction.
    BAsically, I launch se30, provide transaction code under transaction field and click on execute.
    This launch transaction and then I put parameters and :
    a ) launch transcation
    b ) launch in background immediate.
    In both cases it doesn't work due to time out and I never obtain a usefull result.
    My question is : how can I use to analys such a transaction and avoid time out problem ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Regards
    Morgan

    One way would be to limit the selection criteria in such a way that the processed data is still representative but it finishes before the time out.
    Even when a time out occurs, there should already be a trace file up to that point that you can evaluate. Depends on your processing logic, if it is one big outer loop it might be valid data, if you have several independent blocks, then you might be missing something important.
    There is also the option "in parallel mode" where you can capture running BDC processes for analysis, maybe try this option as well. The trace file might grow pretty big though the longer your process runs, depending on aggregation level.

  • How to change AppleID password without access to security questions or rescue email?

    Hi,
    I am curious how a friend managed to change his AppleID password via his iPhone without knowing the answers to the security questions or access to the rescue email. As someone else helped him with the process (not an Apple employee), he hasn't been able to explain it. I still haven't been able to figure how it was done. Wonder if anyone out here could shed some light, thanks!

    Hi there mokcl,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you can't reset your security questions
    Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
    You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have a rescue address.
    You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
    A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.

  • Problem with iWeb asking for username and password to access my public site

    Today for some reason anyone trying to access my site is being asked for username and password. I have made no changes that would require a password. My site has always been public.

    I am having the same problems. My site is public, I checked the settings on the public folder on MobileMe to ensure that it was public and did not require password protection either. But for some odd reason, even though I didn't change anything, my site's pages seem to require a user name and password to get into them. If one continues to click cancel, the page continues to load.
    This does not happen every single time, but it happens more often than not. I have tried this with my iMac, Macbook, as well as my iPod Touch, and I get this on all machines. My brother has tried logging in from another location using his Macbook Pro, and he gets the password prompt as well.
    I tried turning on password protection to the site and uploading the changes, then disabling password protection and reupping the changes once again. I've tried uploading entire site, instead of just changes, but the problem continues to persist. I definitely need this issue solved since this site is important to me.
    The site url is: http://www.globalwinetour.com
    Does anyone have any suggestions to rectify this, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it? Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out!
    Many thanks in advance!
