WEP and unable to set key?

I am by no means a Wifi expert but I do have a wireless router at home configured using 64 bit WEP. How do I input the key into my iPhone? It asks for a "Password" which is not apparently the same thing. If I try using "Other" and setting the security to WEP hex or ASCII it says it can't join. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Michael

I have the same problem in that the iPhone will not connect to my Wireless internet. I can delete my SSID name and disable the password and still not connect (Unable to Join Network). I've used all the security connection options (WEP Password and WEP hex and ascii) on the security side. I don't even get a strength "fan" on the top of the display. My router shows no indication of any attempt to connect. My powerbook has connected using the WEP configuration.
I went to the Apple Store with my iPhone and had no problem connecting with their Wireless network (but they did not have a password requirement). My router shows no indication of any attempt to connect.

Hi,
I had the same problem with my tx2z and broadcom-wl. After reinstalling the wl and trying to enter the key as a string "key s:XXXXXXXXXX" I had a look at the key setup using iwlist:
[alpha@myhost ~]$ sudo iwlist eth0 key
eth0 4 key sizes : 40, 104, 256, 128bits
4 keys available :
[1]: off
[2]: off
[3]: off
[4]: off
Current Transmit Key: [1]
from there I decided to manually state the key rather than allowing implicit decleration. Hence writing:
[alpha@myhost ~]$ sudo iwconfig eth0 essid BTHomeHub-XXXX key [1] XXXXXXXXXX
rather than the error producing:
[alpha@myhost ~]$ sudo iwconfig eth0 essid BTHomeHub-XXXX key XXXXXXXXXX
This produced no errors and allowed the connection. Hope this helps, and sorry for lack of technical understanding (it were a bit of trial and error and have only recently started with arch).
Also, if it helps, my rc.conf section is as follows:
INTERFACES=(eth0)
and my ifconfig and iwconfig are:

Service Desk Unable to set status to Customer Action and Proposed Solution

Hi Everyone,
We are unable to set a service desk issue to the status Customer Action or Proposed solution.
I have someone create a new issue in the bakend system and when I receive the issue I assign it to myself as the processor. When I try to set teh status to Customer action it is grayed out.
I have checked the following:
1. As a test I assigned My user with sap_all profile so does not appear to be authroisation related
2. The status profile has all six standard values (New, customer action, In Process, Sent to SAP, Proposed Solution, Confirmed).
3. The transaction types have been defined using the standard profiles for Text Det. Procedure, Partnet Determination Procedure, Status Profile. The Partner Function ORG is set to Sold-To-Party , The date profile is a SRV_SLA_ITEM and the Action profile is set to SLFN0001_ADVANCED. The Org Data Prof is set to a customer defined one: ZSSC000000001.
4. I have checked transaction ppoma_crm and the org structure and my user is assigned to a team lead position.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Michael

Hi Michael,
please check your status profile for the "lowest status no." and "highest status no." values of the status values as Alex mentioned!
You can find this in SPRO under "SAP Solution Manager> Scenario-Specific Settings>Service Desk>Service Desk>Status Profile".
If the "high" value of the status "New" is lower than the status number of status "Customer Action" than you can not set the message from "New" to "Customer Action"!
Hope this helps,
Christoph

Unable to set columns under Layout Margins and Columns

On certain pages in my 40 page document, I am unable to set the number of columns by using Layout>Margins and Columns. The columns option is dimmed out. I have tried to set them on a blank page and pages where columns were previously set (I can see the guides). I am using a single Master for page numbering and it is applied to every page in the document. There are pages where I can set the columns. I've done some page comparison and can't find the setting that might control this. Using InDesign CS6 on Windows. Thank you.

Why are you not using multiple column text frames instead of 2 text frames with columns on the master page? This would give more flexiblity.

WRT54GL Can't set WPA or WEP and connect

Okay, brand new WRT54GL, setup on the network, can connect, no problem. If I goto setup the WPA or WEP and enter the corresponding info on the Windows machine, I can't connect to the router. It leases an IP, and I can see in ipconfig (dhcp client) that I have a IP from the router, the new router IP (I changed it to 250 to verify I'm connecting and not getting something legacy) shows up as my router, but then I can't ping it or connect to the router in any way. If I disable the WPA or WEP, it works fine.
Just for the record, I run WEP on everything I touch, home, work, family and friends houses when I set up their wireless, etc. I do networking day to day, but granted I'm not changing my WEP WPA regularly (often enough to consider myself safe, but not Best Practices regularly) so I know what's up there. But on this box, it doesn't do. This is my first foray into the GL (I was thinking of the WRT fw's, but this isn't my box), so I didn't know if there was something different I should look at?
So, as you can probably guess, this box isn't at my house, it's at my buddies. I can go over and check on things, but I can't do it immediately. I'ld like to just see if maybe I overlooked something stupid. The part that's throwing me off is that I've done this countless times. Does this sort of thing ever happen to anyone else? I'm trusting that one of the forum regulars can thump me on the head and I'll see clearly. He is using it right now in unsecured mode, so no problem there.

Tried resetting about a dozen times while I was attempting this the first time. I did that because I knew that would be the first thing I would be asked to do.
The only error I was getting was that Windows could not authenticate with the device. (I forget the error, and did not go over there this weekend). Wouldn't it be nice if Windows told you exactly what the error was? What has me stymied is that Windows got it's complete DHCP info from the router, but wouldn't let me connect to the router (or anything else) so obviously it did auth at some point.

Oracle 9i - Unable to set /PAE and /3GB Switch in Windows 2003 Server SP2

Hi
I was wondering if anyone had any experience on Windows 2003 Server (SP2) with setting /PAE and /3GB switches.
I am unable to set both together, setting one or the other works fine in the boot.ini.
Oracle seem to think you can set both but it causes my OS to crash/become unstable.
Has anyone set both switches together on 32 bit Windows 2003 Server successfully?
I am using Oracle 9.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition.
Thanks

The server is new. But we installed 10g before 11g was available. Then upgraded to 11g, so it is a little mess. What the oracle installer should have done in a fresh install, it is maybe not what the server has now.
I have checked for memory issues, processor issues, http errors, every EM setting and metric, and everything looks just right, but the applications are slow and the users are upset.
Anyway, thanks for the advice. Maybe we will need to re-install everything or go back to 10g on Windows 2003 Server x32. That configuration was working fine before rushing into 11g.

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance

Unable to set network time and date

My Applet TV2 is unable to set the network time and date making it so I cannot login to my itunes account so not Netflix or anything making it pointless. I have tried adjusting my router settings (although I've used the same router for over and year and this just started randomly) I have ensured Port's 123 are open, I've restored the ATV2 4 times and have reset my router. I've seen links showing how to use SSh to set the time but I'm unsure if that will work. Any help is appreciated as I'm at a loss at this point

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Of the things I've seen work for people in the community you seem to have done most of them, but did you try these.
Restart Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a moment or two.
Ensure that the DNS address's used by the Apple TV and the router are the same and are the address recommended by your ISP.

Err... You only want to point the server to itself (127.0.0.1), IF you configure it (the server) to run DNS.
I tried to be clear about that, sorry if it was not.
You will continue to have a problem, if you point the server at the DynDNS name servers. I'll try to explain again.
You have an external IP that keeps shifting. DynDNS is a workaround for that. Normally, a server has a static IP. (I'm simplifying ALOT here for the purpose of illustration):
When someone "out there" on the 'Net tries to find "www.yourserver.dyndns.com", it queries DNS, the first server doesn't know the answer but passes the request onto DynDNS dns servers , and a reply is sent, "that server is at this IP address" and then the person's web browser loads the webpage served up by at IP address 6x.10x.xx.x (some publicly available IP, the one dynamically assigned by your ISP) which is where your server "ww.yourserver.dyndns.com", which is actually to be found. And hopefully your router is properly forwarding http requests (port 80) on to your server.
So then, if you point your server at the DynDNS servers, it will try to "find itself," and the answer is going to be that external, dynamic IP. Whatever it might be that day, is what the DynDNS server(s) will respond with. And that is not going to be a match, since your server is behind a Router doing NAT, and has an IP address of 192.168.123.1 for example. And nothing is going to do a reverse lookup for 192.168.123.1 either.
One way to resolve this, is to setup internal DNS on the server itself. Which is beyond the scope of this thread, I suggest searching this forum and reading up on it, after having read the Apple doc
http://images.apple.com/server/pdfs/NetworkServicesv10.4.pdf
starting on page 37.
Further thoughts: to change the hostname, you can use the changeip command, see page 50 of the command-line manual:
http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/
and download the Command Line Administration PDF.
in the Terminal: man changeip
for example, all on one line, if running as an Open Directory master:
sudo changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 192.168.123.1 192.168.123.1 oldhost newhost
The IP address is identical on purpose, if the IP is not changing, list it twice, that's the syntax. Old = new, in this case is all.
If running as Standalone, and changing the IP:
sudo changeip - 192.168.123.1 192.168.123.2 oldhostname newhostname
You can use (this is described in the Command Line Administration PDF)
serversetup -setHostname hostname
You could also edit /etc/hostconfig and change
HOSTNAME=-Automatic-
to =-your.servername.com-
To change the DNS server(s) used by your Xserve, use:
networksetup
man networksetup
on the server itself.
PS:
If you're charging a client for anything related to this, you need to learn about all of what we've been discussing in a real hurry, you should know it already (if charging for it), I mean this in a friendly (but steadfast) way. Start by reading the Apple documentation, it's a good place to begin.
And perhaps DynDNS has a way to handle "internal" (RFC1918) private IPs and external, publicly available IPs. I won't claim to know, first step I'd take would be to check their docs.

I went to my email and found the set up link, but when I clicked on it said it was unable to set up accont.

The web sight says "Something is wrong, unable to set up your account.

I will try another time. To tired to deal with this right now.
