What's the equivalent to a host file for iPad 3?

Yesterday, I noticed that I couldn't browse to any pages or web apps on my own local web server with my new iPad and Safari. Also, when I looked at web mashups on my rented webserver that used some resources on the web and some from my local web server,  the resources from my local web server didn't show up. 
Then late in the day, I remembered that I had fixed this problem before on my office PCs.  Back last year, I abandoned a rented T1 line between my office and headquarters beacuse of cost and reliability,  and got my office internet provider switched over to Charter.  To connect back to the office to share files, and remote login to servers, I set up a VPN. Headquarters IT wanted to route all my traffic to inside their IronGate, then route my internet traffic out. But Headquarters IT couldn't figure out how to pass DNS back out of their firewall so it wasn't working. I told HQ IT let's set up the VPN so just traffic heading into headquarters is directed through the VPN, and the internet traffic from my office could be just be handled by Charter. Since they couldn't make it work any other way, they had to agree. I just had to add one line in the host file of each PC that needs browser access to our web server  that resolves the host name of our local web server to an IP address that is valid inside our NAD LAN.
However, I don't know yet how to add this name resolution to the iPad. The problem though is that I'll have to reverse this host name resolution when I'm out of our LAN, because accessing our web server by host name works perfectly when I'm on a differnt WI-Fi network or if I turn Wi-Fi off. 

There isn't one.

    I believe that starting with 9.2, you have to specify different passwords when you install (can't be the default).

  • What are the extra XD CAM EX files for?

    I don't understand why the EX1 produces these strange files. If you shoot somethiong on the EX1 you get not only the MP4 file but also one SMI, one PPN, one XML, one BIM file. What are these extra files for? I don't get it.

    Josh, I don't know how young you are, but try to moderate your commentary a bit, eh?
    When I first got into editing with Adobe several years ago, the forums actually stuck to useful info and were friendly. I've been quite content with what I've been doing so far with my 7 year old stuff as have been my clients. Now I'm doing MAJOR upgrading; a total revamp of my studio and I'm finding that there is MUCH to learn; so much has changed from the days of "just get the fastest processor you can and the most amount of RAM you can afford and you're good to go." So, where do I turn? To the Adobe forums. MUCH has changed here too. :(
    Sorry to be so upset, but you calling me lazy in another thread when I asked a sincere question wasn't taken too well. I'm a 57 year old grandpa that is just trying to make his way in a difficult economy by working 15-16 hour days, 7 days almost every week for the past 3 months. Lazy? Like I said, back off and be useful in the forums because in other posts I see you have some good contributions.

  • What is the cost of replacing broken glass for iPad 2

    Broken glass on iPad 2

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".

  • What is the best voice to text app for iPad Air?

    I had the app Dragon (a voice to text app), on my iPhone and downloaded it to my iPad Air, but it's not working. Reading the "help" area it says something about ATT iPads don't support it. I have ATT.
    But, I can open the app and it reads "Tap and dictate" as though all is fine and dandy and then after practically yelling into almost every part of the iPad (to no avail), it just says " Sorry message not recognized. Please try again."
    Can anyone help me on this?  Also is there a better/best dictation app for iPad?
    Thanks, Joan

    You can use text-to-speech in any app. I'm a big fan of the app Drafts as it allows two touch tranfer to any number of other applications, not unlike how I recall Dragon worked. If you don't want to spring for Drafts (though I can't recommend it highly enough!), you can always use the built in Notes app then copy and paste when you're done. 
    No, you can't see the words as you speak. However, you can always stop after a couple of sentences and review.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the equivalent of a PST file in Entourage?

    I am new to Mac and not very familiar with Entourage.  I love PST files in Outlook because I like to store emails.  How can I do this using Entourage?

    Simple answer: no.
    Entourage is severely crippled compared to Outlook for Windows.  Even the current Outlook 2011 for Mac is quite limited compared to Outlook for Windows.  Microsoft just doesn't apply the same effort to it's Mac products.
    Hopefully other people will post workarounds or other tricks you can use.  Otherwise, perhaps ask in Microsoft's Office for Mac forums.

  • What is the equivalent to ctrl- ult - delete for a mac pro

    Can anyone help with my question.

    Perhaps you wanted a way to cancel a hung Application?
    Command-Option-Esc
    this brings up the Force Quit Dialog on top of every other window.
    Choose the Application you want to eliminate and click Force Quit.
    This often allows you to just stop the troublemaker, and get on with your business without clobbering everything.

  • What is the "Saved Gestures" option in iOS7 for iPad, and how does it work?

    I can't find any guides or tutorials on it anywhere.

    Not helpful at all, but I probably should have been more specific. I'm trying to figure out how to use the custom gestures. Do they do anything more than just trace specific shapes on the screen? For example, can you make a gesture that will open your photos or mail app without having to back out of the app you're in? Or to close the app you're in without using multitasking?

  • What is the equivalent Windows laptop?

    What's the best Windows laptop equivalent to the MBP 15.4"? My vote goes to the Thinkpad T60p.

    sigh
    He asked what's the equivalent. When people ask for the "equivalent", they mean comparable hardware at a similar price. Most techies (who are what Apple's trying to court right now) will want to see similar specs, maybe compare weights, size, etc. We don't really care about immeasurable things like "design" and relatively useless stuff like the "patent pending magnetic power connector" (I have never, ever tripped over my laptops' wires. Neither has my family. And over the course of the last 10 years I've owned 6 laptops).
    As for trying to compare, if you honestly don't know what you're talking about, please don't speak. Dual Athlons are not the equivalent of an Intel Core Duo. Dual Athlons are a lot faster and guzzle tremendous amounts of energy. If you want to make a valid comparison, look at the Inspiron 9300 with Core Duo and a similar video card.
    Please don't let the reality distortion field and marketingspeak affect what you say to others. This is a big year for Apple to court us geeks, and we really, REALLY don't like the reality distortion field and marketingspeak. Just give us specs and benchmarks. Thanks.

  • What's the equivalent of Windows' Alt+F in OSX?

    Hi all,
    Noob questions... What's the equivalent of Alt+F (too choose the File menu) in OS X?
    -Al

    Hello again Al,
    Simple answer is:
    *Control+F2 then F-key*
    (or *control+F2 then FI* if there is another menu beginning with an F)
    Enable (keep it permanently enabled) Full Keyboard Access by hitting control+F1.
    Now you can use all control+F commands listed in
    System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts
    In your "alt+F" equivalent example, here's what you would do:
    Control+F2 then Arrow (left or right) then Arrow Down,
    and you can also type the first letter(s) of a command's name:
    Example in Safari, File menu:
    hit "P" to get "Page Setup"
    or
    hit "PR" to get "Print"
    Return key commands the action itself once you've reached it.

  • What is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?

    Hi everyone,
           when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on? and what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?
    thanx

    Hi,
    <i>when v say v r working on scenario FILE to FILE? which format of file r v usually working on?</i>
    >>>Many a times it will be a Flat file with CSV format,Tab delimited format, fixedlength fields.
    <i>what is the diff b/w flat file and legacy system?</i>
    >>>We can not differeniate like this..
    Flat file may come from any systems, it may be live system or legacy system.
    Legacy system- is something like old, or past one. If you talk about SAP , then older versions of SAP can be  called as a legacy system.
    So it may be a file system, or any system which is old version but it doesnot mean it is not in use,

  • What is the equivalent selection in BI7? (Following BW 3.5 How to...Set up

    Hi,
    What is the equivalent selection in BI7? (Following BW 3.5 How to...Set up BW Statistics)
    I am trying to install BW statistics and all the good things that come with it for BI7. Following the instructions in a document that I was directed to on this site, in SBIW, I installed and replicated all the datasource in under “TCT” tree (Technical content)
    The instruction is for versions prior to BI7 and I had to make modifications as I go.
    Now, this instruction direct me to go to:
    rsa1, “Bi Content” (left) and then “InfoProviders by InfoAreas” and select all InfoProviders for the InfoAreas ”BW Statistics” and “BW Metadata” under the node “Technical Content”.
    1.
    In BI7, there is no ”BW Statistics” and “BW Metadata” infoareas under “Technical Content” if I follow the directions strictly.
    What is the equivalent of this in BI7?
    2.
    In the instructions, the author continues to collect these InfoAreas from under “Technical Content”:
    BW Data Slice
    BW Features characteristics
    BW Metadata
    BW Statistics
    In BI7, do we need exactly these? Or, now different? Should I just transfer all the infoareas under “Technical Content”? What is the disadvantage of collecting a ALL?
    Thanks
