Wireless ip scheme

Quick question:  Any negative impact on placing the user wireless DHCP scheme onto the same vlan used for WAP's ip scheme?  Or is it better to place the users onto a different vlan?
Thanks
Larnel

I haven't seen any problems with that. You won't have broadcasts from the clients hitting the wired network anyway so that's one thing less to worry about

  • Existing wireless Network (not set up by me) add new mac to it

    I have little or no experience.
    A college computer science major (not available) set up a wireless network for my childrens emacs about 2.5 years ago. Using Netgear WGR614V2 router to a cable modem. has worked flawlessly.
    I just received a macbook Pro and in spite of trying to get it added to the network I can't seem to get it.
    I took the computer to starbucks and it accessed the network instantly, so it works fine.
    I need help in getting the computer to communicate with the router so that it can access the cable to the internet.
    I can see the various setting for the existing network by looking at the configurations on the emacs, but don't know how to set enter these to the new computer.
    I know you geniuses can do this in seconds. Please help Regards Jim Svarz

    Jim,
    I know how weird all these networking woes may seem to you. We all started as newbies
    Let's start afresh with the very basics:
    What we need to find out in the first place is:
    The name of your wireless network (this is also called SSID)
    If encryption is turned on for your wireless network (the most common names for wireless security schemes are WEP & WPA)
    If any other security measures (such as MAC address filtering, etc) are set for your wireless network that prevent your MacBook from joining in.
    All of the above information/settings is stored in your Netgear WGR614V2 router. (It's also displayed on your eMacs, but let's start with the router so you can get an overall picture of how your network works).
    If this is the correct model of your router: http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/wgr614v2.asp, I'm flicking through its manual to help you set you get up and running faster.
    Now, grab a pen & sheet of paper, sit in front of any eMac that works fine and place your MacBook next to the eMac. The next steps are following the instructions according to the router's manual.
    From the eMac:
    Open Safari
    In the address bar type: 192.168.0.1 (and press Return)
    You'll be asked for a username and a password, (Again according to the manual) the default ones are username:admin and password: password
    Assuming that the guy that setup your network didn't change the default ones, you'll be able to see (log-in) the router's configuration pages.
    Let me know if you can log-in to your router to continue to the next step(s)

  • IPhone can join WRT54GS network, but cannot connect to internet

    I've got a WRT54GS v.1.1 router w/latest firmware (4.41.4).  My wired and wireless computers (windows XP) can connect just fine and see the internet.  My iPhone 3GS can join the network, but cannot see the internet.  The phone can join the network, gets a DHCP address/gateway/DNS info just fine.  Other machines on the local network can see the phone and vice-versa.  However, any time the iPhone tries to reach out to the internet, a message pops up saying "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
    Again, other machines on my network can connect without issue.  My iPhone has no trouble connecting to other WiFi networks.
    I've tried all different wireless encryption schemes, including no password/encryption, with the same results each time.  I've also tried using a static IP address on my phone.  No luck.  MAC filtering is disabled, as is any other access restrictions.
    Finally, I've reset the phone's network settings, reset the router to its factory defaults, and tried everything else I can think of. 
    I've only seen one similar message one these boards with this problem, but it was never responded to.  Anyone seen this before of have other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David 

    Thanks for your response!
    IP:  192.168.1.100  (DHCP-assigned)
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1
    DNS: 66.218.44.5, 66.218.44.90 (the DNS's of my ISP)
    Router's (local) IP address is  192.168.1.1
    Router's internet-facing address is the one assigned by my ISP via their DHCP
    All looks right to me.

  • Wrt300n- wireless doesn't work after changing default IP scheme

    When I change the 192.168.1.0 default network scheme my wireless connection doesn't work to the internet I can get to the router's configuration ( I need to change for VPN reasons)  The LAN connections work fine.  Any ideas or settings that I can look at.

    Reset your router by holding down the reset button on the back for 30 sec. This should get you on the net but you will need to configure your router wireless settings to secure it. Good Luck!

  • Accessing WIRELESS schema packages

    I'm new to the Oracle platform and have a seemingly simple question.
    I've just walked throught the tutorial "Building a Notification applications
    using the Pass Thru Data Feeder w/
    database triggers" (http://otn.oracle.com/tech/wireless/tutorials/10g/databasetriggersnotifications.pdf), which highlights using the PTG_* packages in the WIRELESS schema. I'd like to do a hello world app using these packages on my data.
    The problem I run into is that my data tables reside in my middle tier instance, and the WIRELESS schema is installed in my infrastructure database.
    Can I access the PTG_* packages from the middle tier database? Is my installation correct? Or do I need to move my tables to the infrastructure database?
    Thanks Tim....

    Yes it is. Also, another oddity. If I include: -
    import Geometry.Point;
    at the top of the source file for the Rectangle, it
    also works fine. Yet it refuses to compile if I use
    "import Geometry.*;
    I'm confused. :) Shouldn't the ".*" incluide *all*
    package classes within the Geometry package?Most likely, the javac compiler is getting confused because it is finding the SOURCE CODE file Point.java in a directory that is in the Classpath, but not in a Geometry directory relative to the Classpath. When you use "import Geometry.*;" the compiler doesn't know that Point is really Geometry.Point. When the code uses the Point class, the compiler tries to automatically compile the Point.java source code to produce the Point class but finds that the class in Point.java is really Geometry.Point. When you use "import Geometry.Point;" the compiler looks for Point.class or Point.java in a Geometry directory relative to the Classpath.

  • Wireless password won't work

    trying to connect to wireless at work, but the password won't work.... i try'd the same password on ipod... works fine... also i can use wireless at home... no prob....
    any ideas?

    Powerbook G4, you may have a wireless card that is too old and doesn't support newer encryptions schemes like WPA or WPA2. What are you using as your wireless encryption algorithm at home?
    Per my profile, you can see that I have a computer designed and manufactured eight years ago. It uses an old 802.11 "Airport" card; not "Airport Extreme" as does my Mac Pro. It doesn't do WPA or WPA2. If the wireless access point (WAP) at work is using those, you'll be prompted for a WEP password because your computer doesn't know any better. But it won't work.
    So first thing you need to do is find out what does the WAP use. Next thing you need to do is go into your System profiler and see what kind of Airport card your Powerbook has.
    If it's not an "Extreme" or "Express" or whatever, just a plain ol' "Airport" card, then you are SOL trying to use that to connect to your work's WAP if they are using WPA or WPA2. There are some USB wireless thingies that you can plug in to an available USB port and you can use that to access the work (and home) networks. I know that BDAqua has previously posted a URL or three that point to some inexpensive USB 802.11 transceivers that you could use on your Powerbook.
    As a side note, if this is indeed the case for your situation, this would also imply that you are probably using an inferior (as in hacked/cracked) wireless encryption protocol at home. Once you get a WPA2-capable USB thingy, get in to your router's wireless setup and change it to WPA2-PSK-AES.

  • The wireless network appears to have been compromised and will be disabled

    I have been getting this message from time to time since I purchased my Airport about a month ago, I think in total I have received it 3-4 times. The reason it is interesting is because the behavior is similar to some other posts about dropped connections.
    They symptoms are I will be surfing along and suddenly I get no data at all, it just stops dead. If I have an active application that is trying to pull live data like PC Anywhere I will tend to get the above message. If I don't then no message but I have to turn off my Airport NIC in my laptop and turn it back to reconnect.
    I have found that by going into my Airport Utility and under Wireless Options changing the WPA Group Key Timeout to a longer period the problem has been mitigated. It is still a problem overall but at least the chance is only every 8 hours instead of every 1-2 hours.
    To improve security WPA changes encryption keys from time to time and my theory is that either the Airport base station or the Airport NIC card have problems with this procedure.
    One thought is that the Airport NIC misses the change and thus is still trying to send data using the old key. I don't know how this could happen, maybe it is going to sleep for a short period?? This would go along with the disconnect and reconnect working though.
    Another thought is that whatever method is being used to detect a security compromise during the exchange of new encryption keys in the WPA standard is way too sensitive and is thus deciding to lock all users out for the mandatory minute. This would explain why people seem to get it with D-link routers etc. Maybe after the minute things just don't negotiate properly, maybe this was by design for security?
    Has anyone played with the different encryption schemes? I am currently using WPA/WPA2 Personal. I am guessing that WEP won't have this issue because it doesn't use rolling keys. I wouldn't use WEP though because it can be cracked in ~1 minute. I know users have reported that no security works fine but I can't use this as I don't live on a 100 acre farm. Is WPA2 any better?

    I also switched to 5GHz N only mode at the same time. I see some other posts that indicate this helps.
    Maybe other 2.4 GHz traffic is being mis-read as a hack attempt and the wireless is shutting down??
    This is still better than the Netgear I had, when it stopped traffic both the wired and wireless were dead and there were no errors. I couldn't even access the config page.

  • Why 9ias WIRELESS seems to be a PANDORA BOX ??

    hi:
    In release notes of my 9ias downloaded documents it says that i have 9ias 1.0.2.2.2
    I've installed Enterprise Edition but i've choose just to configure after instalation forms and reports services.
    What the hell i need to put 9ias Wireless working ?
    I've follow the docs that say that i would have to configure jserv.conf, httpd.conf, jserv.properties, zones.properties, etc! I've configured them well. But i dont have the WIRELESS SCHEMA created on the database. My database is Oracle 9i and OS os Win2k Server.
    How can I invoke the Wizard or run the scripts for my Wireless Schema?
    I also denoted that technet as a new version called 1.0.2.2.2a (look there's a letter in the end... may be it means that was built in the (a)FTERNOON and the 1.0.2.2.2 in the morning...)
    I would like to know WHAT DO I REALLY NEED to put 9ias WE working (acka:portal-to-go ... may be should be called portal-to-leave)
    I'm desperatelly needding help!
    By the way, the thing that i hate most in Oracle is the null documentation! sorry Oracle guys... it's true. jdev, 9ias, etc lacks of docs in some important areas!

  • What is the best way to extend a Wireless network?

    Hi,
    We have 3 devices,
    1) Our Primary Network Router (which creates our office Network and has DHCP enabled).
    2) We have and Airport Extreme, which is used to create our Wireless Network (THIS IS SET TO “Create Wireless Network”), it has DHCP Enabled, its DHCP IP Scheme is set to 192.168.2.x, where the IP Scheme of our Primary Network is set to 192.168.181.x.
    3) We have an Airport Express that we are trying to use to EXTEND our Wireless Network.
    The most important thing we are trying to accomplish is to isolate the Wireless Network from our Primary Network, so Wireless Clients can access the Internet, but CAN’T SEE or ACCESS the Shared Network Volumes AVAILABLE ON THE PRIMARY NETWORK.
    At the moment, the Wireless Clients can access the Internet and receive an IP in the range of 192.168.2.x from the DHCP Server in the Airport Extreme. That part of it is working, but the Wireless Clients can unfortunately still SEE and ACCESS the Network Volumes available on the Primary Network. WHICH IS NOT WHAT WE WANT!!
    Question 1: How can we have the Airport Create a separate Network, so the Wireless Clients CAN’T SEE or ACCESS the Network Volumes from the Primary Network, but can still get access to the Internet through the Primary Network?
    Question 2: What is the best way to use the Airport Express to “EXTEND” the Airport Extreme’s Wireless Network? I have tried WDS “Main” for Extreme and WDS “Remote” for Express, but all that doesn’t allow you to use the Extreme to Create a Separate Network, it uses the DHCP Server built into the Primary Network’s Router. Also tried to set the Express to “EXTEND WIRELESS NETWORK”, which seems to work, but I am not sure why. Because I don’t have a cable from the Extreme to the Express, which is sounds like you have to when it is setup that way!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks
    Kalagan

    Question 1: How can we have the Airport Create a separate Network, so the Wireless Clients CAN’T SEE or ACCESS the Network Volumes from the Primary Network, but can still get access to the Internet through the Primary Network?
    There is no way to do this. Any of the wireless clients of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can see any device connected to the AEBS's WAN port. Clients of a subnet can see anything on the supernet.
    You could configure you network like this:
    Internet-> (WAN) AEBS (LAN) -> Primary router
    As long as the Primary router was providing DHCP/NAT the things on the LAN side of the Primary router would be hidden from the AEBS clients.
    A better solution may be to have 2 completely separate networks OR invest in some type of network security firewall device to actively isolate your Primary network.
    Question 2: What is the best way to use the Airport Express to “EXTEND” the Airport Extreme’s Wireless Network? I have tried WDS “Main” for Extreme and WDS “Remote” for Express, but all that doesn’t allow you to use the Extreme to Create a Separate Network, it uses the DHCP Server built into the Primary Network’s Router. Also tried to set the Express to “EXTEND WIRELESS NETWORK”, which seems to work, but I am not sure why. Because I don’t have a cable from the Extreme to the Express, which is sounds like you have to when it is setup that way!!
    WDS is 802.11g's method of wirelessly extending a network.
    "Extend wireless network" is 802.11n's method of wirelessly extending a network.
    Neither of them require the AirPort Express (AX) to be cabled to the AEBS.

  • How Do I Connect An Airport Extreme With Password to another Wireless Devic

    We have a setup for two different wireless devices so that there are multiple locations that can get online, but the entire setup has no passwords assigned. We would like to assign passwords to both wireless devices so that only the appropriate people are getting online. How does one do this?
    The first wireless device that connects directly to the modem from the phone company is a brand new Apple Airport Extreme. The computer that set up the device so that people can get a signal was from a PC that is directly connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable. Also connected to the Airport Extreme is an ethernet cable that goes (50-100ft) to another wireless device - by Netgear - which then sends out another signal to pick up wireless internet, which is the signal/network that I work from.
    If we assign a password to the Airport Extreme, I'm guessing it will complete screw up the connection to the Netgear. How would that be dealt with? And, how could we then, if we wanted, set up a password for the Netgear as well. I've read some initial information on the user guide CD and online, but I don't know the terminology of whether these are networks or just wireless devices 'bridged' together, etc.
    My biggest concern, is it works right now, but the owner of the devices wants to put passwords on it and I want to make sure we can keep it working even with passwords. Does anyone know how to easily set up passwords and can I do it from my computer even though they were initially set up by a PC? Or do I have to do it from the PC and if so, how, because I am completely a Mac person and am very unfamiliar with Windows. Thanks.

    Question that I need to know now is how do we set up a password on the Apple Airport Extreme now, when it is already set up and working without one?
    Open AirPort Utility.
    Select your base station, and then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. Enter the base station password if necessary.
    Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
    Choose a password scheme from the Wireless Security pop-up menu.
    Enter the password all users will need in order to join this wireless network.
    AirPort Utility 5.1 Help: Password-protecting your wireless network
    Also, are there different types of passwords and if so, what is the most reliable one so that we don't lose connections, time out or have any other quirks?
    There are different types of wireless encryption. WPA2 and WPA are the most secure especially when used with a non-dictionary password. 128 bit WEP is passable in most situations but not very strong. 40/64 bit WEP is extremely weak.
    There is really no general "reliability" issue with any of them. Some devices aren't compatible with some of them.
    If when we assign a password to the Apple Airport Extreme and for some reason the Netgear stops working, how do we unassign/take away the password on the Airport to get it back to the current setup that we know does work?
    Follow the procedure above but disable wireless encryption instead of enabling it.

  • Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

    I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
    If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
    Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
    Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
    OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
    Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
    Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
    Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
    Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
    IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
    The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
    Attempted remedies:
    1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
    2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
    3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
    None of these worked.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW.  There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
    Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page.  Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address.  Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11).  Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
    For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
    For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
    For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank.  This is important.
    Select Manual DNS Server:
    Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty.  This is important.
    Press Apply.
    Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network.  Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer.  Then turn on the computers.  See if this corrects the printing speed.

  • Trouble connecting wirelessly via Verizon FiOS router

    I am using a Titanium G4 Powerbook, OS 10.4.11.
    I have an Airport Extreme connected to a Verizon FiOS router. These are set to broadcast on different channels.
    Our iMac is connected to the FiOS via Ethernet: no problem getting online.
    Other Mac notebooks can connect wirelessly using either the Airport or the FiOS.
    This notebook can connect via Airport; however when logged into the FiOS wirelessly, and getting a strong signal, I cannot connect. Diagnostics tells me "ISP failed"; Airport tells me I have a self-assigned IP address.
    It seems I have some setting wrong somewhere?

    Why 2 routers?
    -- only the AE can broadcast Airtunes
    -- but the AE only has one hard-wired ethernet port (I need one for my imac and one for my ethernet printer)
    -- and the FiOS router's wireless signal is stronger, I can get it in more parts of the house.
    Thus the imac can be on via FiOS while the laptops are on via either FiOS or AE.
    As long as both routers aren't distributing IP addresses on the same schema, should it matter?
    I'll admit it would be easier to use only the FiOS router, but then no Airtunes. And I can't log onto the FiOS wirelessly, as I explained in my original post.

  • $30 upgrade fee is for Wireless Workshops and Backup Assistant Plus?

    I recently upgraded my device, over the phone, using the 2 year discount price of $199. I was completely unaware and never told by the VZW agent that I would be paying an extra $30 to help VZW offset the cost of Wireless Workshops and their Backup Assistant+ crap. The agent on the phone told me to expect a $199 + tax charge on my next bill but failed to mention the extra $30 and, to be quite honest, I'm pretty upset about this. I called the customer support line and was told the $30 free is there to support the cost of the Backup Assistant Plus service (which I do not use and have completely removed it from my phone because it's trash) as well as the Wireless Workshops they offer in their stores. This is complete ** and if I had been made aware of this nickle and dime scheme by VZW when I was upgrading, I would have canceled my upgrade and gone with another carrier instead of signing another 2 year contract. I will NEVER go to a workshop for a device, service, whatever that I know how to use or could spend an hour researching online so why am I having to pay for this? I use Titanium Backup Pro and the Android SDK environment to backup my phone and data instead of the clunky Backup Assistant Plus trash. In fact, I've completely removed all traces of BA+ on my phone...
    So why am I "donating" $30 to Verizon for services that I, and I'm willing to bet most people, don't use? Why wasn't I made aware of this by the VZW agent I spoke to on the phone?

    The final price of the phone was $260. I was told by the VZW agent to expect a ~$199 + tax ($215) charge on my next bill. There was no mention of a $30 upgrade fee. I was not notified BEFORE the purchase, and if it's listed on the discount upgrade page it's not very clear.
    I did not see the articles in the news about this fee in the past and VZW did not make it clear to me that I would be charged this fee. I expect the VZW phone agent to make me aware of the fee's associated with any service I use, like this upgrade, but the agent failed to mention it.
    Yes, I am complaining about the discount. I'm already unhappy that I was forced to lose my unlimited data plan when upgrading (unless I paid for the phone in full), but being charged an extra $30 for "services" like BA+ and workshops is absurd. Regardless of how much of a discount it was I don't like having surprise fee's come up on my cell phone bill. Why don't they include that free in the displayed upgrade price? Why not show $229.99 instead of $199.99?
    And it's 57% discount, not 60%+
    Well according to the stats you just posted sales tax is 8% so since you insist on including that, then at full price a $600 phone plus 8% is $648. $260/$648 is 40% thus you received a 60% discount. Also even at 57%, you are complaining about a 57% discount? Really? If you went to a car dealer and got a 57% discount you'd be ecstatic. If you got a TV for 57% you'd be ecstatic.
    This fee was announced April 11th 2012 It made ALL the major news sources.

    Just to name a few sources.
    There is no way you were not told in some fashion. You say VZW agent. So you ordered this over the phone? Ok so where did you see the phone you wanted? Um at this site? Well the fee is listed VERY clearly on the price of the phone. if youw ent into a VZW store it;s CLEARLY listed on the price tags.

  • Two factor authentication in wireless network by one-time password

    is this possible? What required for this scenario?

    Hello, thanks for the answer.
    I will try to tell in more detail that we want.
    We already have the following equipment:
    Cisco WLC 5508 and some ap's
    Cisco ACS
    Microsoft AD Server
    Process of authentication of the user in a wireless network is represented to me following:
    at first the user enters the registration data, then to him through SMS the one-time password comes.
    Thus we don't want to use digital certificates.
    Whether such scheme is possible?

  • Unable to connect to a secure wireless network - Event ID: 8002 Task Category: AcmConnection..., Event ID: 11006, Event ID: 11006

    Hi, 
    I have a Dell Latitude E6440 running Win 7
    Enterprise 64 on a domain. It will connect to any unsecured network, and it can see the secured network in the list when I click the wireless connection icon on the system tray. When I go to manage wireless networks, the secured network does not show
    up (and thus, I cannot delete the network to try to re-add it). Normally, we would add the secure network here. I click Add, give the name in the correct syntax, add the needed information (WPA/2-Enterprise, EAS or TKIP), and hit Next, it immediately returns
    with "An unexpected error occurred". A similar thing happens when I hit Connect from the list of available networks that pops up when I open the system tray icon: it says it was unable to connect, when I hit troubleshoot, it says that it could not
    identify the problem. The event log shows the error below. I haven't been able to find any resolutions here or elsewhere that address the fact that I can connect to unsecured wireless networks, but not secured wireless networks.
    Other notable troubleshooting steps:
    Uninstalled/Reinstalled wireless adapter with the latest driver
    Other laptops are able to access the same secure wireless network
    The first WLAN-AutoConfig error in the event log was Event ID: 12013, attempting a 802.1x authentication. Then Event ID: 11006; stating "Explicit Eap failure received". After a few days of alternating all 3 errors, they started to only error on
    Event ID 8002.
