Using iPad when connection to the internet is by ethernet cable

I'm going to be at Oxford this summer and hoped to leave my laptop home and just use my iPad2. There is wifi in the public spaces but to connect to the internet in the dorm, you must bring your own ethernet cable. The second part of my question is that I have the 3G iPad. Is there anyway to make that available in England?

CDMA vs. GSM: What's the Difference? | News & Opinion | PCMag ...
Code division multiple access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is the protocol used for most all US cellular service. GSM is the protocol used in Europe. Unless there is a cellular provider in England that can provide CDMA service and is a partner with whomever provides your cell service in the US, then you would not be able to use your cellular capability. This has no effect on your other wireless.

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

  • HT1695 My wife is working in London for 5 weeks and for some reason her ipad will not connect to btfon or btopenzones at her digs, but she has a ethernet socket, so can a wifi only ipad2 be connected to the internet via an ethernet cable

    My wife is working in London for 5 weeks & staying in digs, so we thought it would be a good idea to buy an ipad2 so we could skype each other, she could watch movies from the icloud, access skygo etc,and it wouldn't be as bulky as a laptop. All fine if you can get wifi, but for some reason her ipad cannot locate any btfon or btopenzone hotspots (or provider), IN LONDON??!! We can access them at home in a little village in Northern Ireland. Her digs have an ethernet socket, is it possible to connect her ipad to this socket via an adapter?

    No. She will need to come up with an alternative way to connect. A mobile hotspot perhaps.
    Finding some way to connect to these hotspots would be the ideal situation. I know that you realize that. We know nothing about what is happening, but if you can explain in some detail, maybe somebody here can help.

    Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option.  Some models have this.  You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

  • I have a BTHub4 - My iMac, iPhone, and children's iPads all connect to the internet no problem. I cannot get my 2 MacBook Pros or my partners MacBook Air to connect. Have tried diagnostics - says to change DNS but  it is correct.

    I have a BTHub4 - My iMac, iPhone, and children's iPads all connect to the internet no problem. I cannot get my 2 MacBook Pros or my partners MacBook Air to connect. Have tried diagnostics - says to change DNS but  it is correct. I have re-set both router and all laptops - no joy. They can all see the network but cannot connect.

    This is extraordinary. I have moved the router and also tried resetting it to its factory strings.  We have had this router for over a year and all our devices have always worked. Now all four laptops will not connect to the internet. Only one oMac and our phones and iPad.
    I have had far more devices running at once before but now all laptops are timing out on connection. Some say this iIP address is already being used but if I manually set to a slightly different IP address it does not help, noir if I manually set to the correct IP address. Why would all our laptops (four) suddenly be unable to connect?

  • My AirPortExBS n-type will create a network, but not use it to connect to the Internet

    I just got a new AirPortExtreme, n-type, and I can create a successful network but cannot use it to connect to the internet.  I can do both with my old APEx, g-type.  I can connect to the internet directly via Ethernet. 
    I've been in chat all **** day with Comcast, who insist it's Apple's fault, despite all the evidence to the contrary.  They just want an excuse to charge me a setup fee.  Jerks.
    Salient points:
    g-type wireless network (while it's useful to tell the two apart, I'll miss the whimsical UFO-shaped device) works. 
    n-type device will create a network my MacBook can detect, but it can't access the internet.  I got my APExpress in the mail (two days later, even though they were ordered at the same time) today and I haven't tried bridging that in yet, too many headaches already, but I can print wirelessly over the new network when my printer is attached to the square APEBS. 
    I have power-cycled the **** things almost a dozen times at the behest of my Mac's setup guide and Comcast's chat people. 
    My best guess is that my modem, because I did not buy Comcast's (jerks) "Wireless Self-Install Kit" is somehow not compatible with the faster AirPort...  though why it wouldn't broadcast at the 2.4Ghz band, at least, I don't know. 
    I will be thoroughly grateful if you guys could help me out here.  I've never had a problem with any of my Apple products before, so this is a little disturbing. 
    Thanks, Jenna

    Yes, I could connect them by ethernet if all I wanted to do was transfer files, but I would like to network them so I could use wireless internet.  The machines are not always so close together, I did that to simplify the testing.  With the very slow transfer speeds I am reluctant to move ahead with the internet step.

  • I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect

    I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect it keeps saying choose a netwokand the IP Address it automaticaly puts in is wrong?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
    If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.
