BT WIFI VPN Client

Anyone know why I can't download the BT WiFI VPN client?
I first tried downloading it in may and when I click the link for windows 7 64bit I get the web page not available error.
I've tried every now and then since then and it still gives the same error.
I even tried downloading the win7 32bit and still get the same error.
It seems odd that the download link hasn't worked for 3 months and BT haven't even noticed.

Hi,
Did you log into BTWifi? If you did then I would try just connecting to the hotspot without logging in.
1) Find a BTWifi Hotspot
2) Connect to it
3) DO Not LOG IN
4) Go to this link http://www.btwifi.co.uk/help/security/vpn-software.jsp
It should then try to download it without going to the "Your Connected Page"
Hope That Helps.

WiFi & VPN to AppleTV without access to Ethernet?

Here's my set up.
I plan to rent a duplex in a foreign country where I share a wireless connection with the landlord. I do not have access to ethernet, only the WiFi connection.
I have a MacBook Pro and an AppleTV 3. I would like to be able to establish a VPN connection to my AppleTV with only access to WiFi.
Is this possible with a MacBook, or are there other WiFi (no ethernet) devices that can assist with this? I've heard of some people using WiFi USB sticks?

How will we see a difference? How will higher network speeds help the AppleTV performance? AppleTV uses UDP data streams which are fixed and slow, relative to Ethernet and 802.11ac wi-fi.
Not according to this article: Apple TV: TCP and UDP ports and protocols used - Apple Support
....and good thing too; UDP is best confined to live audio/video streaming and VoIP.
Also the relative performance of TCP and UDP depends entirely on the kind of traffic you're sending, e.g. lots of small files, or fewer big files. For tiny files, UDP has the edge, but for larger files TCP wins out (that's a gross generalisation though).

BT wifi, VPN and ipad

Hi,
I've heard I need a VPN when using hotspots (I have a new ipad mini)
I can find reference to a VPN supplied by BT but when I search , i get to a page that doesn't have the software on it. Can anyone help me please?

It may no longer be avaialable as the new BTWifi-X SSID is being transmiited from the home hubs. This is a secure connection which is only for IOS devices using the BT Wifi app,

[2.2 firmware] Unable to download Podcast even through WiFi+VPN

I upgraded to 2.2 and was hoping to download some podcasts directly to my phone but any podcast over 10MB that I try to download gives me an error message saying "This podcast is over 10Mb in size. Please connect to a WiFi network or download it using ITunes on your computer".
But the issue is I am connected to WiFi. I am also using VPN to connect to my network - could this be a problem?

Are you truly connected via VPN? You should try to access whatever services require you to use a VPN. For example, if VPN connection fails, you can be connected to wireless but not be able to use it and the phone will not transition properly to EDGE or 3G. Thus, the internet will be effectively useless.

WiFi VPN and login panel

When trying to connect to the WiFi at school I'm required to use a VPN connection. The VPN connects fine and the iPad starts to receive push notifications so I know I'm connected to the Internet, but a "login" window opens that is the default webpage seen when not connected through the VPN telling me I need to use the VPN. If I hit the cancel button in the top right corner, it goes away but also disconnects the wifi.
How can this login window be prevented from coming up?
Thanks,
Tom Huffman

WRTG160N drops vpn first one machine enxt day another. Also flaky browsing

i have a new 160n w/latest firmware.
My wife vpn's in to work and was working fine for a few weeks.(only change was VPN IP Address done a few days ago but worked with new IP for few days)
now the machine she used will not connect. it was working then suddenly was disconnected. when we try to connect it never gets passed 'verifying name/password'.
I tried reinstalling drivers/resetting tcip ect. but nothing worked.
I gave up and grabbed the laptop via wireless and set that up. worked great for the first half of the day and then did the same darn thing.
We swithced back to our original sonicwall router and guess what, works like a champ again on both PC's.
Router is the problem!!!
one other thing that was not working was visiting facebook.com and 1 PC. it would go to the page but stay loading FOREVER! cleared cache, reset internet setting ect ect . now with original router works like a charm too.

You may try to Upgrade the router's firmware...Download the Firmware from here , though you might have the same firmware already installed on your router you must still Flash the Firmware...
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...See if that makes any difference...Also change the MTU to 1400 on your router set-up...

Deploy Symantec certificate profiles to mobile devices using Microsoft Intune to manage company resources like WiFi

We are planning to deploy Symantec certificate profiles to Mobile devices to manage company resource like WiFi. I've seen documentation on Technet and the post here http://ronnydejong.com/2014/12/15/part-1-deploy-certificates-to-mobile-devices-using-microsoft-intune-ndes-overview/ that
we need to install Intune NDES connector which needs to be installed on NDES server. These docs are true when we are using Microsoft PKI.
Here, we're planning to use Symantec cloud PKI to deploy the certificates to mobile devices. So, I would like to know which are the required on-premises components ? NPS, NDES or something else? Any documentation URL would be helpful ;) We're in planning
face hence the question in the forum.

Thank you Jason for the reply !
Sorry for stupid questions !
Does that mean, NDES is needed only for initial enrollment process of a mobile device? We don't need it deploying Symantec certificate profiles to manage company resources like WiFi VPN etc... Or I'm totally lost here?
My understanding is : Mobile devices will get enrolled to Intune and that device will become a managed device. Now, the mobile device needs to get a connectivity to company resources like VPN or WiFi and for the we may need to deploy certificate profiles.
Isn't it ? So, you were saying for this process we don't need to have NDES. (or I'm wrong here as well).
If so, we'll be deploying a public certificate to all the devices via certificate profile deployment and the devices need to get connected with issuing authority to get a device specific private key before connecting to WiFi or VPN?

Restrictions Really needs improvement for Business use

Hi
We have written an app and are replacing our industry standard barcode scanning devices with over 100 iPod Touches worldwide using a third party barcode sled accessory. This is much cheaper (Around $800 vs $1500) and offers a much richer and less confusing user interface to the end-user. However our end-users are often low paid seasonal workers employed by our clients, so when it comes to the restriction settings in iOS we try to lock the devices down as much as possible.
I think more and more people are treating the iPod/iPhone/iPad in commerical environments and so the ability to secure and maintain these devices really needs to be improved. Our situation aside you can use your iPhone as a point of sale with a credit card swipe, if you have a retail chain with several of these devices for use by employees you don't want them to be messing around on them or making choices that you don't want them to purposfully or accidently.
For instance:
iOS6 upgrade seems to download automatically and prompt the user if they want to install. There is no way to turn updates off, and not even a password is required to do it. In my scenario if someone gets the upgrade push and then clicks ok they then can't work for 30 minutes, not good if there is a long line of people waiting to be served.
WiFi/VPN connections can be changed
Passcode lock can be turned on/off/changed
Date/Time / Keyboard / International / Accessibility settings can all be played with
Weather app always available
Stocks app always available
Maps can be used (location can be disabled at least!)
etc..
If I (as a developer) tell our deployment manager to tell our client's manager to tell their scanning manager to tell their temporary workers to not mess around with things like the above....someones not going to listen, and our IT department is just going to have to check each device and clean up.
I know that apple's portable devices are aimed more at consumers, but I personlly think it's about time that we have some more attention to more business scenarios.
I don't want to come accross negative so i'll finish by saying that a lot of the restrictions in place are very useful. Being able to disable the store, iTunes and safari are very big wins, without those we wouldn't have switched to iOS devices.
Anyone else have a similar need for more administrative ability?
Thanks for reading.

One of these might be good for a POS (assuming you need touch screen), but those are terrible for graphic artists to use. All-in-ones are to be put bluntly, over-priced pieces of junk with crappy power supplies and worthless integrated video cards. They will run too hot most likely and need maintenance more often than larger well-ventilated desktop towers. Your graphic artists staff will hate the small low resolution monitors as well as the lack of decent GPU acceleration. The only good thing about them is the small form factor, a sacrifice well worth looking past IMHO.
Graphic artists should be using high-end monitors, IPS panels for accurate colors and high resolution displays of 2560x1600 pixels. I strongly recommend looking at Dell's Ultra Sharp models (particularly the 30"). If you end up getting three Dell Ultra Sharps then you might as well get the whole system from them as well and develop some sort of professional relationship and support system like most businesses.
*The monitor should be the most expensive component by far and it is the most important for work productivity, do not skimp out here, you run a graphic design firm after all!
Look for reasonably priced desktops with 4-8GB RAM, Intel or AMD quad core processors. Stay away from discrete graphics, Photoshop uses GPU acceleration found on higher end video cards and it is useful. Larger hard drives perform better than smaller ones because of areal density, so buy larger hard drives than needed (1-2TB drives with 500GB or larger platters) and run them in RAID1 for redundancy, because I doubt you have a storage area network.

IStat Menus freezes in Mountain Lion

Is anyone else having trouble with iStat Menus in Mountain Lion? Ever since I upgraded, my iStat has been freezing randomly. It will sometimes freeze for hours and then unfreeze briefly and then freeze up again. I can tell because my clock has seconds turned on, and when I hover over the iStat Menu section of my menu bar, I get beachball.
I tried changing my clock/calendar so it's only the calendar icon and then adding my regular Mac clock and calendar back, and moving most of my regular system icons to the right of the iStat icons (e.g., WiFi, VPN, Time Machine, Sync, system clock/calendar), but they still freeze up when iStat does. The only icons that don't freeze are Dropbox and Clusters, which are to the left of iState, and Spotlight and the Notifications icon, which are to the right of iStat. The VPN icon used to be to the left, but I moved it to see if that would help; it didn't.
This is making me want to uninstall iStat Menus, which is a shame, because I loved the program until Mountain Lion hit. I used it every day.

Ugh. I haven't tried this yet, mostly because I have a lot going on in my life right now (writing an M.F.A. thesis) and don't have time to wait on something to happen to my computer while in guest mode (in which I can't access my files and go about my business, in the meantime).
Hmm.
It's a good suggestion, though. I'll see if I can carve out some time to try it sometime.

How to put the Motorola NVG589 in 'bridge mode' (or as close as you can).

OverviewMost people don't need advanced features that personally owned routers offer and will be just fine using the NVG589 and turning off their personally owned router. But if you're like me (and I know I am!) then you are probably reading this thread because you have ip cameras, personal clouds, photo servers, guest wifi, VPN's, xbox, QOS settings, et al. I have an ASUS RT-N66U , a VIP2250, and a wireless reciever with a WAP; but your settings should be similar.  The NVG589 does not have a simple 'Bridge mode' setting so you will need to get into weeds to get this working. I hope you're ready. First StepsMake sure you have a laptop or a computer that you can connect directly into the NVG589.Unplug all ethernet cables from the NVG589 except for the one going into the aforementioned laptop.Write down the MAC address of your personal router (the WAN MAC address if you see different ones for LAN and WAN) Settings on the NVG589Login to your NVG589 by going to 192.168.1.254Go to 'Home Network' then 'Subnets & DHCP'. Your password is on the side of the modem.If your 'Device IPv4 Address' is the same subnet as your local router, I suggest changing it. I changed mine to 192.169.2.254 but you can stick with whatever you like / need. My subnet Mask remains at 255.255.255.0Change 'DHCPv4 Start Address' to 192.169.2.1 (or whatever your above Device IPv4 address is but with a 1 at the end instead of .254)Change 'DHCPv4 End Address' to 192.169.2.5, Just a few more than the Start Address. We need these for any WAP extenders for wifi TV's. It's important that you only have the laptop plugged into the ethernet at this point.Click 'SAVE' at the bottom.Go to 'Home Network' then 'Wireless' and turn wireless off. You want to use the wifi on your own router right?Go to 'Firewall' then ' 'Packet Filter'. Disable Packet Filters. Again, we want our router to do the work.Make sure you don't have any of your own settings turned on in 'NAT/Gaming' (don't worry if you see 1 in there already that you can't delete).Go to 'Firewall' then 'IP Passthrough'. For 'Default Server Internal Address', select or type in 192.169.2.1.For 'Allocation Mode' select 'Passthrough' (I had to do it in this reverse order to be able to type for some reason)For 'Passthrough Mode', select 'DHCPS-Fixed'Type in the MAC address for your router under 'Manual Entry', lowercase is fine.Click SAVE. It will tell you that it needs to reboot. Hang on for a minute.Go to 'Firewall Advanced' at the top and turn everything OFF.Near the top of your screen, you should see an option telling you to reboot the router. Go ahead and do this now. It takes about 2 minutes.Personal Router Settings.
Unplug your laptop and plug in your personal router while the NVG589 reboots. Plug your laptop into your personal router and login to it. For me, it was 192.168.1.1 (hence why I changed things above)For the ASUS RT-N66U, I had to go to my WAN settings, then 'Internet Connection'.Change 'WAN Connection Type' to 'Automatic IP'. This will give your personal router the external IP of the NVG589 and is the key to making this whole thing work. Some folks will have to manually enter in an IP and this can be found under the 'Broadband - Status' section of the NVG589 settings. If you don't have 'automatic IP' then I feel bad for you since you will have to manually change this every time your IP changes.'Enable WAN', 'Enable NAT' and 'Enable UPnP' is all set to YES for me. I recomend Setting your own DNS server. I use Google's but you use whatever you like. Google's is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4'Account Setting - Authentication' is 'None'.There are no Special requirements from ISP at the bottom.Hit APPLY at the bottom and your router will reboot.I also changed settings in my IPTV under LAN:Profile was None.Choose IPTV STB port, I set to LAN3 & LAN4. I plugged my U-Verse WAP for the wireless reciver into the NVG589 and I plugged the ethernet cable going to the VIP2250 into LAN3 on my personal router. I'm really not sure if this was necessary but I'm having 0 issues with this setup. I initially tried putting the WAP on my personal router but had issues so I stuck it back on the NVG589 and it's fine. I could probably just plug the VIP2250 into the NVG589 as well but I'm just enjoying the small victory of using my personal router for now. Hit apply at the bottom, another possible reboot.At this point, I checked the internet and everything was working great through the router. I restarted by 2 TV boxes (the VIP and the wifi ones). Everything is peachy. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.    EDIT to update WAP configuration.

a couple of notes I would like to make on this. for the most part it's correct. Bullet 1.) 192.169.2.254- I would not change it outside the 192.168.x.x class network specification. Doing this can cause some connectivity , DNS, and routing problems going outside the class.  Example (and yes I did this once!)-- I changed my base IP address to 135.153.1.1 as well as changed everything else. Everything worked ok till I do a traceroute or a path ping. This problem was really pervasive when on my iphone, speed tests would be way, way off, and wireless would sometimes have problems connecting. many times the first hop which should be my router didn't resolve properly and I also created other DNS problems (page can't be displayed, etc...) For this example I would stay within the confines of the wikipedia entry for private network.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network it states24-bit block10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 16,777,216
single class A network
10.0.0.0/8 (255.0.0.0)
24 bits
8 bits
20-bit block
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 1,048,576
16 contiguous class B networks 172.16.0.0/12 (255.240.0.0)
20 bits 12 bitsof course the common block everyone with a router uses.
16-bit block
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
65,536
256 contiguous class C networks 192.168.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0)
16 bits 16 bits
In this addendum I would say use
192.168.2.254 or 192.168.168.10.254172.16.0.1 or 172.17.0.110.20.1.1 or 10.30.1.1 Either or would be fine. Avoid the headache I created and stay within a private network setting. most DNS boxes already know what the private networks are. If you stay within the confines of them you are not adding frustration to your cause.    bullet 3 to bullet 5.) a tweak of subnets and IP's Now you can leave this at 255.255.255.0 /24 (default) which would give you 254 Ip addresses on that NVG589 to use. however if you are not going to use them just eliminate them. Much less work on broadcasting that the router will have to do. Since you are passing the IP right to your router anyway save the work for the router behind.for instance if you want a shorter range255.255.255.240 would allow 14 IP addresses total this can also known as 255.255.255.240 /28255.255.255.224 /27 This would allow 30 IP addresses total
what you essentially do is cut down on how many hosts you actually have. Essentually you are making the NVG (as well as any router made by any manufacturer) smarter buy giving it a short phone book to work with. An example below for the NVG589device IPv4 address: 172.21.0.1
DHCPv4 start IP address: 172.21.0.7
DHCPv4 end IP address: 172.21.0.14
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 DHCP addresses available: 8Static IP's available: 5
Another example I would usedevice IPv4 address: 10.20.1.1
DHCPv4 start IP address: 10.20.1.5
DHCPv4 end IP address: 10.20.1.30
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 DHCP addresses avaialble: 25static IP addresses available: 4
Another example using 192.168.x.xDevice IPv4 address: 192.168.15.1
DHCPv4 start IP address: 192.168.15.5
DHCPv4 end IP address: 192.168.15.30
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.224 DHCP addresses avaialble: 25static IP addresses available: 4 Note: I do not count the base IP address as a useable IP (another headache I learned to avoid the hard way).    Continue on:  From the bullet point of Go to 'Home Network' then 'Wireless' and turn wireless off. You want to use the wifi on your own router right?I would continue on.  Final note:  I don't get here all the time to check and see who replied so if there is any questions please drop me a line as I don't come here very often.  Thanksdavid

Platform Service not running - Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit

PAP2T - IVR is not playing.

hello Folks ,
i have one PAP2T model, but when i restart this PAP its getting IP frm router & i cant able to open Interface & IVR configuration menu
Wat will be the problem , plz help on this issue.

I have just purchased a PAP2T and I am in the following state:
1) Connecting either of 2 telephone lines to either of LINE1 or LINE2 I get no dial tone
2) Using Network Magic I have identified the IP-Address for the PAP2T and have connected to the web interface
3) I have used the software from the Linksys website to upgrade the firmware successfully and I am now on version 5.1.1(LS)
4) I have changed the password for user and signed in successfully (by the way both the user name and password are case sensitive)
5) I have turned off DHCP and fixed the IP-address and re-logged on
6) LINE 1 & LINE 2 both show "Hook Status" as "On" no matter whether I have lifted the telephone header set or not
7) I have used a RJ11 connector to test the cable I am using between the telephone and the PAP2T and I have at least 1 cable I can make a standard POT call on
QUESTION:
1) Do I have a hardware problem on the LINE1 & LINE2 interfaces?
2) Is there anything else I can attempt before I go through the unfortunate route of returning the device for a new one?
Look forward to ANY response
Derek

Deleted Microsoft Exchange iphone account and can't create a new one

I was having problems with my Hotmail account and so deleted it with the intention of setting it up again. Now I am unable to add my account in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar and get the message "Account Already Exists. Only one Exchange ActiveSync account can be configured". But I don't have any other accounts. How can I get it to recognise that I have deleted the original account?
Is there a way around this without resetting the phone?

Try this, perhaps your exchange account was by profile:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to General
3. Go to Profile
4. Click on the profile and then click on the Remove and you will get a warning. ALSO, BY REMOVING THIS PROFILE YOU WILL ALSO REMOVE THE CERTIFICATES and WIFI/VPN settings that the profile may also had included.

Use Profile to Delete Existing Settings

Is there any way that Profile Manager can be used to delete or remove existing settings on an iOS device?
For example, we will be migrating to a new mail server soon. I would like to use Profile Manager to send out a profile to all user iOS devices to add the new mail account AND remove the previous mail account.
I would also like to remove previous Calendar accounts and subscriptions as well as remove a Contacts account.
I cannot find anywhere in Profile Manager that it seems to allow for the removal, deletion or replacement of any existing settings. Is this just not possible with Profile Manager?
If this is not possible, what have others done in this situation to get the devices 'cleaned up'?
I understand that I am coming into a situation where the iOS devices were manually configured initially and now will have a profile installed. If I were to start fresh with iOS devices that were based on an initial profile install, would what I'm looking for be possible then? In other words, if the Mail/Calendard/Contact accounts were initially created/added via a profile, would modifying that initial profile (ie. removing the initial accounts) result in those accounts being removed on the iOS devices?
Thanks for any help as I get oriented to Profile Manager.
Specs: Profile Manager 2 from Mac OS X Server 2.11 running on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

You can't remove or edit any settings that you haven't pushed a profile out for
If you've manually configured mail cal etc PM can't edit or delete it
It will add another mail account cal account etc alongside the existing manual ones controlled by PM
If you want rid of the old manual mail, cal settings your going to have to touch each device and delete them
Your going to have to touch each device anyhow to get the devices enrolled in PM if you have not already done so
If the devices were manually configured you won't have any profiles installed on the devices
Profiles appear in general, profiles xx number of profiles installed
Deleting these profiles will remove the settings
Yes with PM you can remove edit or add settings and push these out to devices, lock wipe etc
You'll need to open the appropriate ports and forwarding if your going to push settings out to devices that maybe outside your LAN
What I do is use apple Configurator to do a basic configuration with a profile to get the devices on my enrolment wifi
Install server certs and auto enrol the devices in PM to speed things up
PM is configured with user and device profiles for mail wifi VPN etc
