Work around ATT Wireless Hotspot?

After many frustrtaing phone calls with ATT support for my mobile hotspot, turns out ATT blocks port 5900 which means I cannot do Screen Share between my laptop and desktop.  I have a reliable VPN and can do Screen Share on many other wireless servers but ATT - no.
Any ideas to work around it?

I have a Verizon hotspot instead of ATT, but the web page settings for my hotspot have a VPN allowed setting that activates port 5900.  It was turned off by default.  Perhaps your hotspot has a similar setting.

  • How can i get my computer to print with a wireless HP envy4502 using an ATT sierra hotspot

    I have a HP envy 4502 wireless printer that works find printing from my iphone. I use an ATT Sierra hotspot that is connected via usp to my computer to access the internet form it. My problem is I would like to print from my computer without having to connect the hotspot via usb and connect wireless via the hotspot. How do I connect the printer. Do i need a cable to connect it to computer or do I need a router to connect the computer to the printer wireless. I am confused as to what needs to be done so my hotspot doesnot have to be physically connected to print.

    Hi kragan,
    I understand you would like to print from your computer to your Envy 4502.
    I can help you with this. You should be able to run the wireless wizard on the front screen of the printer and connect it to your Hotspot wirelessly. If you put your computer on the same network, both devices can communicate withe one another. HP Printers are designed to work with 802.11 WiFi networks, thus connecting to the Hotspot may not work.
    This particular model does have the feature called Wireless Direct (WD). HP wireless direct is a new feature that allows your Wi-Fi capable devices (for example: smart phones, tablets, or computers) to make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point. You connect to your printer's HP wireless direct signal the same way you connect your Wi-Fi capable device to a new wireless network or hotspot. - Source
    Please use the instructions in the link I sourced to set the printer up using wireless direct. Simply open the link and click on 'How to connect to HP wireless direct'. 
    Once the WD is enabled, open your network settings on your computer and choose the printer network, it will look like a variation of the printer name.
    If you would like clarification or have any questions I would be happy to help.

  • I have a 3rd party "TPLink ADSL wireless" router controlling DHCP , Now require Airport Basestation and Timecapule to merely join the existing network. I know this was a work around once posted, but can't find it again? Help....

    I have a 3rd party "TPLink ADSL wireless" router controlling Internet and DHCP , Now require my (Airport Basestation and Timecapule) to merely join the existing network. I know this can be done but it was a bit of a work around the automatic setup. The autmatic setup only offers (Create new/WDS/Extend) Does anyone know how to do it, or can point me to the post.
    Many thanks

    Unfortunately, I need to connect both devices (Extreme and Timecapsule) via wireless. The ADSL router is not conveniently located to allow me to cable them directly. They are both being used to drive a bank of non networkable printers and external harddrives via the USB ports on each.
    My frustration with myself is I had it setup, but failed to record for future, the trick in how to unhide the "join network option". I then had a failed firmware update from Apple and then needed to reset the routers and bang the settings were gone.
    The Security setting is not an issue I know those I am using WPA2 personal.
    I would be grateful for the wireless setup if you have it handy...
    Thanks do much

  • Will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    will the airport devices and time capsule work with telstras mobile hotspot (Sierra Wireless AirCard® 753S Mobile Hotspot)??

    Yes. There are 2 ways you could use these devices:
    Wirelessly 'join' the network. This would be slower and doesn't offer extending functionality.
    Use an Ethernet cable (through Powerline if you can't run a cable). This is faster and offers extending functionality. I would recommend using Bridge Mode if possible.

  • End of GOOGLE SYNC work around (or app) for WIRELESS sync for Gmail calendar

    thnx for help !
    i use my google calendar exclusively -no Outlook at all, no desktop manager ever.
    With my Curve  i used to use GOOGLE SYNC to immediately update and sync manually.
    There is no more GOOGLE SYNC (support ended) ...  Not for my new Tour as it still was working on Curve 12/12/12.
    I timed my update I made on my Google calendar online and it took 30 minutes for the bbery calendar to show the update using the wireless sync in the Tour setup.
    HOW CAN I MANUALLY tell my bberry to sync wirelessly instead of waiting for however long it takes to auto sync ?
    Why did it take so long?
    is there a WIRELESS work around or an APP  for the end of Google sync?
    Using Tour 9630
    thanks again!

    Could you please ellaborate on which other helps, you've tried?
    Data plans are not available for 9780 in Denmark, rendering me unable to access my Google Calendar, except from going through a browser - not ideal, by any means.
    So... Any workaround would be appreciated - even only for primary calendar. 
    I know Nokia has working apps such as Googasync, but I'm unable to find similar for BB (which is curious, as they are both based on S60).

  • Disabling LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw as a wireless hotspot

    Hello
    Bought HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw.
    It announces ( broadcasts) its wireless network HP-Print-74-LaserJet100.
    Which interferes with my other wireless network, and makes quality of signal lower.
    Is it possible to disable wireless hotspot feature on the printer?
    Wifi is disabled in setup (printer is connected by ethernet).
    Thank you in advance

    Hi rghw
    I will be happy to help you.
    To disable the wireless direct you can also do it right on the printer by going to the setup button (wrench) on the printer, right arrow to network setup menu,wireless menu, wireless direct, turn it off from there.
    The web server is to access the network page for the printer.
    To access the web server page, print out a configuration report from the printer by going  to the setup button (wrench) on the printer, right arrow to reports, config report to get the ip address for the printer.
    You type in the ip address for the printer in the address of bar of internet explorer to bring up the embedded web server for the printer.
    If you need more assistance just let me know.

  • How to download HP Wireless Hotspot software

    What is link to downlaod HP Wireless Hotspot software?

    Hi surrendernot,
    It is possible that either a) you were using different scanning software other than HP software for scanning, or b) the HP software is different on Windows 7, than on Windows XP, as they are completely different Operating Systems, and could be a newer version of the software.
    Some other methods of scanning can be found within this How to Scan guide, HP Multifunction Printers - How to Scan: Windows 7, you can try scanning without HP software as well.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • Has anyone got an iBook G3 to work with an iPhone hotspot?

    hi! First question here, and its been a real headscratcher.
    I have an iBook G3 with 128bits airport card (picking up and connecting to routers no problem)
    I also have an iPhone 4 which I've used as a personal hotspot, providing internet to my Macbook pro for around year.
    Now as you can imagine, I've discovered that although the G3 discovered my iPhone, when i enter the password and hit connect, i get a glorious error. It say it could not connect because of a problem with encryption.
    After a lot of internet research, I discovered the old, original Airport card does not support WPA2 encryption, which annoyingly is the encryption my phone uses.
    Ok, so options... 1 can i upgrade this card? 2 Can I download software (3rd party?) to get around this problem? 3 Can i tell my phone to use WEP encryption? 4 Can i use an external (usb?) Wifi adapter? Ive also seen the possibility of Bluetooth or USB tethering? 5 Would a Bluetooth adapter work?
    Any advice or solutions/suggestions would be incredibly welcome. As i've discovered there are a lot of questions about this online but few working solutions.
    iBook G3, 500Mhz, 256RAM, 10gb HDD

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Question: If you have a MacBook Pro, why are you wanting the iBook G3 (which is 11 years old at this point) to work with an iPhone hotspot?
    Why not just use the MacBook Pro?
    That said, the MAXPower device is available at Other World Computing, if you really want to try it:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP2802GU2/
    And if you'd rather use a cradle instead of plugging it directly into a port:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/MXP2802NU2C/
    To boost your speed a little, you may want to consider maximizing the RAM with a 512 MB module:

  • Bug? re: SFX in 10.1 / constant work-around

    When I first installed FCPX 10.1, I noticed my SFX and GarageBand elements were missing in the music and sound-browser. I learned a work-around to solve this. (from this user group)
    Except, as it stands now... Every time I quit the FCPX app, I have to do the same work-around:
    Quit FCPX
    Open GarageBand
    Quit Garageband
    Re-Open FCPX
    This is cumbersome to do EVERY TIME I launch into my project (after quitting the app.)
    Is this a known bug?
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Does anyone have a permanent solution?
    Thanks.

  • Work-around for Alltel um150 on Snow Leopard?

    I just bought a new iMac with Snow Leopard preinstalled. I downloaded the Alltel QuickLink Mobile access manager for the um150 usb broadband wireless device. When I tried to connect, a window came up that asked for the serial number, but it would not accept it. VZ email support told me that they currently have NO usb devices that are compatible with Snow Leopard, but they would have one "in the near future." However, their VZAccess support page lists the um150 as one of 4 supported usb devices, with an update to VZAccess. Since my device is an Alltel um150, my guess is that it is not compatible with VZAccess. Does anyone know of a work-around that will make my device work with Verizon? Thanks!

    My question was resolved on the Verizon forum. Using my PC I downloaded the Verizon VZAccess Manager for Snow Leopard (vzam.com) to a disc and then loaded it into my iMac. It setup, reconfigured, and connected. It created a new problem, however. I cannot access the VZAcess Manager window, though I am connected to the net on startup.

  • Having trouble emailing photos through mms work around

    So I read the post concerning the mms pic work around through emails and thought I'd give it a try.
    I've gone through pics in iPhone, selected one, use email option and sent to an att number using two different emails.
    1st [email protected]
    The second attempt was [email protected]
    Neither sends, and phone says that items went to an out box which I have not found.
    If I check email it says 2 unsent messages, tries to send them and never dose.
    So what am I doing wrong?
    Also, can't find outbox, I use yahoo.
    Thant for help.

    Thanks, since the post I ve tried to email a pic to myself through the photo email option( to my regular email) and it says it is rejected by server.
    So now i believe that it just something wirh my phone photo email option. I cab send emails through the mail option but if i goto photos to send, ut will be rejected.
    Hmm I'd do a search but I'm the phones edge right now and would take awhile.
    Can you send photo emails?

  • Connecting from WRT54GL to Verizon MIFI2200 wireless hotspot

    I have my WRT54GL connected to my desktop and I have been using satellite internet. I can connect via wireless from my laptop. I now want to get rid of the satellite and use a Verizon MIFI2200 wireless hotspot. So, I want to connect wireless from my desktop to the MIFI2200. I do not seem to have anything on my desktop which will allow me to see wireless networks. The MIFI2200 is working because I can connect from my laptop. The desktop with the WRT54GL is also working, because I can connect to it from my laptop. What do I need to run on the desktop to see available wireless networks? I don't seem to have anything available like Linksys Wireless Manager.
    Thanks!

    You need a wireless adapter for your desktop to connect to wireless networks.

  • Work around for iPad V's kindle?

    Many posts declaring the differences between the kindle and the iPad seem to ignore that the iPad NEEDS wifi connection to download a book and the kindle does not. I am a Macaholic since forever, but I think this is a significant difference.
    I am verbally accosted at dinners or parties about this. Many people I know a
    Were ready to flip to the iPad but this has stopped them...for instance they can download a book on the beach with the kindle and not on the iPad. Here. Is my question..could using the kindle app be a work around for this issue?
    Thanks in advance for any responses!

    Ian, I guess I struck a nerve with you
    Honest, I am not out to bash a company I have only the utmost respect and admiration for, no parody on my words is needed.
    However, if a friend says he can go to the beach/out in his back yard and download a book...why would I try to argue his rational point? In fact if he is done with his book he has been reading and wants to either preview or buy another...he is S.O.L.
    These are people that have had a kindle for awhile and are not really high profile Mac users...or even well initiated Internet users
    In trying to become adoptive of the Apple concept and possibly first time Apple users...they are pointing out why they considered and then chose not to flip to the Ipad
    Having myself practically every new laptop/desktop and gizmo Apple has produced since the 90's I must say I went for the wifi model only b/c I did not want another fee from AT&T
    I just believe Apple missed on the ability to directly download books without a fee based system...and one could probably point to their unattractive association with ATT&T to blame it on!!

  • I have an Iad2 and ever since ios6-there are issues.I get occasional lock-ups and have to reboot. The WSJ app freezes when running their videos to the end. The only work-around is to stop the video before it's over. Worse than windows me !!!!!

    My Ipad2 worked perfectly before ios6 upgrade. It now freezes occasionally and I have to reboot to get it to work. Also the WSJ app will now freeze if I try and run one of their videos that is imbedded in the article. My only work-around is to stop (press done) before the end of the video or I have to do a total reboot. The problems remind me of Windows ME . Will Apple resolve these issues or become more like Microsoft. Hopefully there will be a restore button in the future like Microsoft was forced to do because a lot of upgrades are just terrible. Am I crazy or are there other people having the same issues with ios6, or could this just be a coincidence and my ipad2 is starting to fail just when ios6 arrives ?

    I know this will not help but, the bluetooth headset I purchased for my wife works great and it pairs with our car and our sound bar in the livingroom (Motorola Droid Razr) 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US
    However I did not upgrade over the air but from a android web site and placed it on my external sd card. I believe this made the difference in why we had no issues and upgraded functionality has been great.
    Please note when I mention these bluetooth devices I mean the Razr connects with no problems.
    It also had no internet issues and none of the problems others have complained about in other threads.
    unfortunately when you say thousands have these issues I cannot say that is accurate. The hope is when large numbers of owners have updated to the Jelly Bean and are complaining inmase then Motorola will issue a patch to verizon to get out to the affected users.
    Of course now that Google owns Motorola Mobility and has laid off loads of workers it may never issue an os patch.
