Windows without internet access?

Hi,
I'm wanting to switch from two Windows based computers into two Apples. I'm currently looking at the iMac to replace one and either a Mac Tower model or another iMac to replace the other. If I make the move, and it looks good so far, I'd like to ask a couple of questions to help with the decision.
#1-Can an Apple with the new Intel cpu have both the Apple OS on board as would be normal and also have a Windows OS such as Win98, etc. in the computer, say in a partition?
#2-Can an Apple computer with the new Intel cpu, say, be able to go onto the internet while using the Apple OS and also have a Windows OS like Win98 also on the computer, but have the Win98 OS be internet disabled?
#3-Can for the time being until we get accustomed to the Apple, switch back and forth between the OS's while the computer is on, or must it be booted separately?
dell xps r   Windows 98  

#1-Can an Apple with the new Intel cpu have both the
Apple OS on board as would be normal and also have a
Windows OS such as Win98, etc. in the computer, say
in a partition?
Boot Camp which has Windows in a separate partition, would require Windows XP SP2.
Parallels which can also be used to run Windows in parallel with OS X can allow you to run Windows 98.
#2-Can an Apple computer with the new Intel cpu, say,
be able to go onto the internet while using the Apple
OS and also have a Windows OS like Win98 also on the
computer, but have the Win98 OS be internet
disabled?
Using Parallels, yes.
If using Boot Camp, you can disable internet access when booted into Windows.
#3-Can for the time being until we get accustomed to
the Apple, switch back and forth between the OS's
while the computer is on, or must it be booted
separately?
Parallels allows you to run OS X and Windows at the same time.
Boot Camp requires you to re-boot when changing OS.

  • RV042 Windows incompatibility HTTP Connections between Subnets without Internet access

    Hello, 
    We are a company of the banking sector
    We have two RV042 Router.
    One of this Router (R1) is configured for restrict users without internet access. This router doesn´t internet connections, the Wan ports are blocked.
    Router 1: restricted users
    Router 1 IP Lan: 10.22.4.1/24   
    Router 1 IP Subnet 1: 10.22.1.2/24 (For communication with Web Servers on Lan 10.22.1.0/24)
    Pc1: 10.22.4.3/24
    DNS: 10.22.4.51/24 (This DNS Server have an Internet connection through subnet 2)
    The other router (R2) has an internet connection through the wan port for the access of the DNS Servers for respond to request of clients, and a web server in this subnet
    Router 2:  Web Server´s LAN and Internet Connection for the DNS Server
    Router 2 IP Lan: 10.22.1.1/24
    Router 2 IP Subnet 2: 10.22.4.2/24 (For communication with restricted user on Lan 10.22.4.0/24)
    Web Server: 10.22.1.60/24
    We need to access the web server from the network restricted users.
    From Linux Operating System, the access to web server its ok
    But, from Windows Operating Systems, we can´t access to web server. Time Out
    So, we think that there are some incompatibility between the Router RV042 and the windows operating systems 
    On the website of microsoft, there is an article regarding an incompatibility issue with the RV042 which could help
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934430
    we copied a file attachment.
    Thanks, sorry for bad English

    Hi,
    Have you also tested configuring static route?
    I am asking that, because RV042 does not support VLANs and following that cannot do inter-VLAN routing. Configuring subnet with Multiple Subnet option is only giving access to this subnet to internet. Unless a static route is not configured as where this traffic to be routed in the LAN, the router itself normally will drop the packet.
    If it works for you, this leads me to the thought that there is other routes that packets from LAN 10.22.1.0 to LAN 10.22.4.2 (and vice versa) are taking, but not necessarily the routers.
    Here I can just give a direction of where to look, but if you think you checked all possibilities, it would be better to contact the support line. They will help as long as the device is under warranty.
    Hereby the contacts:

    I am trying to install the newest version of Flash on a few computers without internet access, but I'm having a hard time making that happen.  What do I need to do to get the latest version of Flash on them without connecting them to the internet (they are in an area where internet access is forbidden).
    Thanks

    Hi Justin,
    You can download the full installers from the following help pages (including both Windows and Mac, as there was no OS specified):
    Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
    Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
    Scroll to the bottom, in the 'Still having problems' section.  There are several installer types for various browsers.  You'll want to download the ones for the browsers you use.

  • If I own Photoshop Elements 5.0 on an old computer without internet access, how do I open the image

    If I have Photoshop Elements 5.0 on an old computer without internet access, how can I open the image I created so I can print it?  The new computer with internet is not the one I have registered the Photoshop product.
    Thanks.
    Eddie

    Hi eddie
      If you saved the image on the old computer as a project or a PSD file it will only open in Elements. The best thing to do is make another copy and then transfer it to the flash drive.
    If you open the saved collage in the PSE5 Editor you can click the top menu Layer à Flatten Image
    Then click File à Save As and choose jpeg.
    Copy the jpeg to the flash drive and then plug it into the new computer and drag the jpeg collage to Pictures or another folder.

  • Need help turning off autoupdate without Internet access for Reader 9

    Does anyone know how to disable the auto-update for Adobe Reader 9.0?
    The only article I have seen explains how to disable the update for 7.0 or 8.0 (both change a registry key bUpdater to 0, which does not exist for 9.0).
    Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks!

    The only way I know to disable it is to go to Help>Check for updates.... Let it do it's thing then click the "preferences" button and deselect "Automatically check for Adobe updates."
    I'm not positive what happens if you try this without internet access...

  • Movie not loaded without internet access

    We have developed a flash movie to industry showing production data for a machine. Clients running this flash movie in a web browser. Some of these clients have internet access and others do not.
    The clients have access to intrernet shows flash movie without problems.
    The clients without internet access just shows a black box with the text note loeaded movie.
    The customer does not want to connect these clients to intenet but would consider opening specific ports or websites if necessary.
    What is it that requires flash player from internet to download flash movies?
    Flash movie connects to a server over XML socket to exchange production data. Serve respond to requests for policy-file-request with <cross-domain-policy> <allow-access-from domain='*' to-ports='*'/> </ cross-domain-policy> \ 0th
    It does not matter which version of the flash player or internet explorer that we use. We have tested many different varieties.
    Hoping for help!

    What errors are you getting when connecting to the server? There's several events you should be listening for, e.g. Event.CONNECT, Event.CLOSE, DataEvent.DATA, IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, etc..
    One of those should be giving you some useful information about the connection status.
    What sandbox are you using? Here's some info on setting the sandbox to essentially Administrator level so the SWF is allowed to connect to all resource types via a config file:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7c95.html
    If not running AIR (which removes the need for that config) you're going to want your SWF to have access to local filesystem and networking without restriction. You should check what Security.sandboxType is set to. If the config file is successful (or you use the SWF settings menu to add the SWF as trusted) it should report Security.LOCAL_TRUSTED. If it's AIR it will report Security.APPLICATION. Then you know the SWF has permission to access network.
    Outside that the events returned from the socket connect should let you know if the problem lies on the server. I'm assuming you're already running a Security.allowDomain("*"). I don't know if this pertains to LAN IP ranges however, that'd be a good question. It falls in WAN in the 192.168.x.x and 10.0.0.x ranges.

  • Is a networked Windows XP machine without Internet access safe/secure?

    Going forward, can a networked, domain-member Windows XP computer be considered "safe" as long as it does not have Internet access?  Patches are current, and current antivirus.

    Yes and No. Reason being exploits are still developed that can harm XP machines. Since MS is no longer supporting this operating system patches to cover those exploits will not likely be developed. These exploits can be carried out through the local area
    network and infect an un-patched machines. Now on to the aspect of 'Yes'...
    Good antivirus, and a firewall on the machine can make a lot of difference even internal to the network, local USB drives and exploits on the net.
    Best policy is to keep machines as up to date as you can even if that means upgrading operating systems unfortunately.

  • Install and use Adobe Digital Editions on a computer without internet access ?

    Hello,
    I have a pair of PCs, one of them, with Windows Vista, has never been connected to the internet since many years. It is used for word processing mostly. I didn't even bother to plug an ethernet cable inside or think about a Wifi USB key, in a way it's better that way, no useless distractions and no security threats.
    I want to use that offline PC for work, and it would require to use Adobe Digital Editions on that machine. I downloaded the offline standalone installer from adobe.com without problems, however, apparently, Adobe only accepts us to use the program after we have activated it through internet access.
    Does that mean there is simply no way out, and I can't use Digital Editions on my offline computer ?
    Would you perhaps know a solution to this issue ?
    Thank you VERY MUCH if you can help !
    Kind regards

    I don't think there is a way out.
    You could use it for non-DRM books without authorizing, but there are much better options (such as the free Calibre) for that anyway. http://calibre-ebook.com/
    If you make a temporary internet connection, then once authorized, you should not need internet access to read books you have got elsewhere and copied to it.

  • Create a CD/DVD for use without internet access

    I am very satisfied with the website I created using iWeb on Mobile Me. I would like to create a CD or DVD where I can add an autorun function to enable those without convenient internet access to see the information.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do the following;
    1 - publish your site to a folder on your hard drive. You change the destination by clicking on the site folder and selecting the folder you want to publish to (lower left hand image):
    Click to view full size
    2 - put a CD into your optical drive.
    3 - drag the contents of that folder, an index.html file and a folder with your site's name, onto the empty disk icon on the desktop.
    4 - drag the disk icon to the Trash icon in the Dock which turns into a Burn icon and burns the disk.
    The disk will let other Macs double click on the index.html file to open your site in the web browser of choice.
    However, PCs may not be able to do the same. Mac's OS X system has the necessary features built in but I'm not sure about Windows. You'll have to inquire about PCs.

  • How can I use Airport Express to create a standalone Wi-Fi network without Internet Access so I can browse web pages on the local network? I will be using MAMP as my server (Apache)

    I would like to create my own Wi-Fi standalone network at an upcoming tradeshow where there will be NO internet access.
    Currently, I run and develop sites on my iMac use MAMP to manage my sites locally. Using MAMP, I run my sites as though they are on the internet although everything is local.
    I purchased an Airport Express hoping I could create a standalone network so that the iMac would broadcast its website to whatever device connects to it such as my iPhone, iPad and MacBookPro.
    However, after setting up the network successfully (I have a green light on the Airport Express, and there is NO internet going through it), I  am  not able to go any further by logging into the iMac's websites from the other machines. Form my MacBookPro Finder, I can look at files and folders using afp://10.0.1.2, from the Find/Go/Connect to Server utility, but I can't browse the website that is running on the iMac via the Safari browser.
    Can anyone help me configure my MacBookPro (or iPad, or iPhone) to run the website on the iMac when they are all on the same network?
    Thanks so much!!

    1) connecting the TC using a ethernet cable from one of the two modem's LAN ports to the TC's WAN port
    2) create a new Wi-Fi network using the TC ?
    Does someone already create a new Wi-Fi network using its TC connected by Ethernet on a modem/router device ? How do you set up the DHCP (and NAT) ? Which range did you use ?
    This is easy enough to do..
    Plug the TC directly into a computer.. without other connections to do the setup.
    Using the newly installed 5.6 utility.
    Bridge the TC.
    Create a wireless network.
    This is an older screen shot and I would set security to WPA2 Personal only not WPA/WPA2 Personal as shown above.
    I do recommend you use wireless names that are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Update the TC..
    Now plug it into the modem router.. it will be a part of the network without doing NAT and DHCP itself.. which you do not want.. that leads to double NAT issues.. but it is a WAP that provides access to devices on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands directly to the main router.

  • SoundBlaster X-Fi drivers corrupt or not working "properly" without Internet access. Please fix!

    The latest drivers located here are corrupt. It is a single exe file that does a CRC check before install begins. During this self check, it fails and stops extracting the files. As such I can not install the drivers. Now, I can probably even tell you why this happens. First I will start by saying that the install only fails on a system with no Internet access. Why so? Because if it has internet access, it updates/checks the digital certificate online. This is not good or acceptable for me as I install the drivers on offline systems and also even on my main Windows 7 setup, I multi-boot and have Windows XP on it too. When I initially install everything the first time, I do not start by first allowing internet access. No sir. That comes last. The first two things after the motherboard chipset drivers are the audio and GPU drivers. Then, a few other important things and then my security suite and then, finally, internet access. That's just normal.
    Since this only happens to the driver file that supports Windows 8 (and all previous versions of Windows) and not the Windows 7 (and all previous versions of Windows) file, it's an issue that should be fixable. You may think it's not worth fixing, but I assume that this will truly be the last driver for the X-Fi card, and as such, can we please end it's life cycle with a driver that works on any O/S that it still supports?
    Notes:
    This issue only happens with the Windows 8 (latest) drivers. This does not happen with the previous (or any before) drivers. So this tells me it's an issue that could be resolved. Please check the digital signature settings on the Windows 8 drivers. Again, all other drivers work just fine on Windows XP with no internet. This issue only exists for the Windows 8 driver executable.
    The driver file is not altered or corrupt. The digital signature only fails if it can not access the Internet, or perhaps a newer Windows that has updated root certificates. (ie: Win7)
    Pictorial situation:

  • SCEP updates for servers without internet access

    I have servers that are Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2 that CANNOT have internet access.  I pushed the CM client to them and the SCEP client but they cannot get the SCEP updates.  The error in the WindowsUpdate.log is:
    2014-04-25 09:13:59:695  992 b94 Misc WARNING: WinHttp: SendRequestUsingProxy failed for <http://download.windowsupdate.com/v9/1/windowsupdate/redir/muv4wuredir.cab>.
    error 0x8024402c
    I think the Windows Update Agent is trying to update from MS. 
    When I run RSOP.msc, I do see that the CM server is listed as the WSUS server and was updated in local group policy which is what the CM client is expected to do.
    What do I do in a situation where the machine does not have internet access and I need to update the WU agent?
    Thanks,
