WRT54GS Need help, interesting security problem

Hi All,
New to this community, so I hope that my description is understandable. Plus, I've been reading with ernest, am totally confused and wish someone could just tell me "this is how you fix this: Step 1..." but it never seems to happen that way.
1. WRT54GS Wireless Router, (not sure of the version because my setup page says one thing and the bottom says different) was originally setup with a Gateway Desktop, longer than 5 yrs ago.
2. Currently the host computer is a Dell. We have 1 wireless laptop, 2 netbooks, 1 iPod, and 2 wireless printers in a home network.
The main problem is getting online (I never know how many devices will try to do something at the same time) with the router (keeps saying that the "Security" is Open"). I've tried to setup new networks, resulting in the same problem. Is it possible to just remove the Dell from the network or could the wireless laptop become the host computer? And could someone explain to me how to do that? The last time I tried to change the security on the router, (I believe that WEP is what the Dell set it at and I was trying to change it to a higher level), I got a notification that not all the devices were the same, security could not be changed. Help, I just want us all to be able to use a secure network!!

If you are not sure of the version why don't you post what is printed on the bottom and what is shown on the setup page?

Where does it say "security is open" exactly? What page? Where? When?
Go to the setup page of the router. Wireless and Wireless Security. Post your current settings on those two pages. That will show how your wireless is configured.
We'll take it from there...

Need help with getResource() problem under weblogic 6.1

Hey all,
          I've got a serious problem that I can't figure out. This should be really
          simple - but it's alluding me. I have an ear file with a number of servlets
          inside it. This ear file also contains a resource that my servlets want to
          read from. This resource is located (within the ear file) at:
          "/content/structure/a.txt". The file contains raw ascii.
          To have my serlvet read from this file, I thought it would be as simple as:
          URL content =
          servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/a.txt");
          // pw is an instance of PrintWriter
          pw.print(content.getContent());
          However, when I execute the above I get the following exception:
          java.lang.NullPointerException
          at
          java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)
          at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)
          at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:581)
          OK, so fine - I figure that I'm new to this. The documentation for the URL
          class tells me there is another way around this. It says that rather then
          calling getContent() directly, I can open a stream on the URL and read from
          that, like so:
          URL content =
          servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
          es.txt");
          FileInputStream fis = content.openStream();
          but when I do this I get the following different exception:
          java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.zip.SafeZipFileInputStream^M
          at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
          Apparently this thing is trying to return a web-logic-specific stream (which
          is incompatible with an FileInputStream) - which I don't want to use or
          learn about since I want my stuff to work under other webservers.
          Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple.

Wenjin,
          I appreciate your response. I tried treating it as a normal InputStream -
          but it didn't make any difference. Here's what I did:
          URL content =
          servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
          es.txt");
          InputStream is = (InputStream)content.getContent();
          And here's the exception:
          java.lang.NullPointerException^M
          at
          java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)^M
          at
          java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)^M
          at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:554)^M
          at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java:807)^M
          at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
          You can see that it is definitely breaking somewhere in getContent().
          If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Need help with daq problem

Hi,
I need to generate a clock with a period of 20 micro seconds, duty cycle of
approx 20% and a data line as well as an address line all linked to the clock
pulse.
I have tried many different solutions, all using the Daq PCI-1200 but nothing
seems to work correctly. Usually the system bombs and I have to do a manual
reset to over come the problem.
Any suggestions?
Ken

You'll need an external clock, expecially under Windows.
Windows ticks with appr. 18 Hz, and the CPU tick isn't always available
when Windows tasks multi.

Need help for security question. I forgot passwrd rescuee email. How to reset rescuee email?

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'. This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

Need help w/Securing a Complete Directory

I also have an "error.cfm" page but it doesn't seem to work

Thanks!

HELP! What do I need to change. Thanks to all who respond in
advance.

"sarathy", I think (but don't quite KNOW just yet!!!) that I need to type into my browser's location bar as a part of the url for the jsp the "webapps" folder which is under the main installation for Tomcat! And, to quote your last posting to me "hey before you test your clock.jsp... can you see the examples of tomcat ?.. if not there is a problem in tomcat installation.. may be setting paths and stuff. Do you know on which port you installed ?.. the def is 8080 try http://localhost:8080/", I can answer with a resounding YES to being able to see and execute all of the various jsp and servlets, so maybe I will counter what I earlier indicated in my last post that there is something basicly wrong with my Tomcat installation, like it being installed into the wrong folder.
No, like I said up above, i think that if I only make sure I type into the web browser's location bar the "webapps" folder first, then the "jsp" folder, then finally the name of the particular jsp file which I choose to work with, then I will be quite okay on being able to consistently see my jsp whenever I want to. Please respond back to me if you agree/concur with my analysis or maybe you don't and wanna give me an alternative method of doing this. I will gladly even listen to a different approach to doing this because I am getting pretty desperate with my efforts to "get it right" with being able to execute either a jsp or a servlet.

I need help with simple problems. im a student.

i'd like to be advanced with my studies so i will post questions.. i need help on how to answer. thank you.
1. create a java program that will evaluate if the value entered is a positive, negative, vowel, consonant and special characters.
im actually done with the positive and negative using if else statements.. i used an integer data type. now my question is how do conjoin the characters when i need to evaluate a vowel and a consonant. i cant use char either. please help. i dont know what to do yet.
2. create java program that will translate the input from numbers to words. e.g. input:123 output: one hundred twenty-three.
i have an idea to use a switch case statement. but i have no idea on how will i be able to do it. so if you guys can help me.. well then thankies..

Welcome to the Sun forums. First, please note that you have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for topics related to Sun's JavaHelp product. You should post your questions in the New to Java forum.
As part of your learning, you will have to develop the ability to select an approach to a problem, create a design that reflects that approach, and then implement the design with code that you create.
So, it's inappropriate for us to take the problem statement that you have been given and short-circuit your learning process by giving you the implemented problem solution. We can comment on the individual questions that you may have, and point out problems and errors that we see in the code that you develop.
As a hint, when you are stuck, forget about Java and programming. Just start with a sheet of paper and a pencil, and figure out how to layout the task on paper. The consider how to translate that to programming.
If you have problems, post short example code that shows the problem, and explain your question clearly. We can't read minds.
Make sure you post code correctly so that it's not mangled by the forum software, and so that formatting is maintained. Select your typed or pasted code block and press the CODE button above the typing area.

Hi, I need help to secure my linksys wireless router, i tried the setup guide but i didnt work..

hello
I need help securing my linksys wireless router with speed boosters. In august me and some friends took over this rented house, and with the house we got their old internett system, we use a linksys router, This nett is open for everyone, but we want to secure it for other users. We didnt get the manual and i've tried the guide on your site but it says it cant be changed. The old owners didnt either know what to do. Is there some help i can get with this? Is there some buttom i can push to reset it and then make it possible?

Connect your computer using wire to router. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name, if admin doesn't work reset router and do above step again. Go to wireless tab, here change wireless network name from linksys to any other name. Save the settings. Go to wireless security sub-tab here change security mode to WPA personal etc, and enter you secret key in passphrase/shared key, Save the settings.This secret key will be security key of your wireless network.

Need help with video problems

Hi!
Back in May I was having problems with video on my Mac. I was helped by this site and am hoping for more help. I downloaded the realaudio, but was still having problems. I assumed because I was on dial up. It was so slow. It would take forever to load and then play for a few minutes then need to load some more. I now have DSL and was looking forward to kissing the video problems good-bye! My new problem is that when I try to watch or listen to anything like innertube it "stutters." Is there something else I should be doing? How can I fix this problem?

With those specs you should be absolutely fine. I would suggest that you update to 10.4.10 at least (download the full Combo updater). Once you are on that:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5)
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. This: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=19845 may also interest you.)
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
See also the very informative post from QuickTimeKirk dated Dec 3, 2007 in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1268489&tstart=0
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them).
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

WRT54G - Need help asap!

First and foremost, thanks for helping...
I've been running into a problem with my WRT54G. When I try to access the admin page at 192.168.1.1, it will ask for the password and accept it, but then the page loads VERY slow (sometimes timing out), and if it does load... a lot of buttons/options are missing/misplaced.
This is trying to access it from any of the 3 computers connected to it (one wired, two wireless). The internet connection itself is blazing fast.... not problem there. But I need to get into the admin page to change a few of the port settings.
My ISP is Comcast, and I have ping'ed the 192.168.1.1 address with good results.
Anyone have an idea?

Try to adjust the browser settings...Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...

Need help with Security when running AS3 inside browser

Hi,
I am fairly new to flash, but a fairly experienced
programmer.
I have created a game that runs perfectly and communicates to
a WinSock server over port 4000 to publish its final score to.
Using simple XMLSocket and Send.
When I run the game in the standalone flash player everything
works perfectly as it should
However when I embed in a HTML page or similar it goes wrong.
The game works fine, but the final posting to the WinSock socket
server fails. I have retrieved the error message.
ioErrorHandler: [SecurityErrorEvent type="securityError"
bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2048"]
My server is a local server to me running IIS 6. Everything
runs fine by the standalone flash player so I know ports are clear
and firewalls are not the problem.
Searching around google and forums I have found out that in
9,0,124,0 (the flash I am running) that they made some security
enhancements, namely you need to post a crossdomain file.
My file is sat in the wwwroot of my webserver where my flash
swf is hosted and looks like
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
I have also tried adding the following to the 1st section of
the swf file
Security.loadPolicyFile("
http://mydomainname.com/crossdomain.xml");
I have tried all conbinations, but I cannot get the flash to
communicate to the socket server when it inside a web browser.
If i run it in the standalone player, everything works
perfectly.
Can someone help me please. I have been googling and ripping
my hair out for ages. This is the final stage of my project and I
am failing at the final step.
Just to add.
My server and testing computer are on the same domain, the
web server is a win2003 server and my testing and coding server is
a XP machine running IE7. They are linked by a ADSL router sharing
the same external IP address but via DHCP addressing. Everything
works fine for port forwarding of the winsocket port.
Just to emphasis, I believe this setup is correct, as it all
works fine when I run in the flash player.
Many thanks

I fixed it eventually.
In flash 9.0.124.0 they now force you to have a socket XML
server running on port 843 a server somewhere if you wish to use
XMLSocket inside a browser.
Nothing to do with domain or crossdomain.xml files.
You need to also call
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://x.x.x.x:843") before you
open the socket.
to load in the XML that defines what is allowed.
Search google for AS3 and socket server port 843 and you will
find examples and even a simple Java based server to use.

Noob needs help with dreamweaver- problem encountered

madelinebeth.net
This is the website i am trying to create. It is not
complete, but on Safari it looks fine. When i open it on firefox,
it gets all messed up and i dont know how to change it. It
initially gets messed up on dreamweaver when i add links o
different slices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

> is a bug in firefox that does not render correctly using
tables
Never heard of that. Are you sure?
>yes you can use photoshop, fireworks, etc. thats what
they are for
Could not disagree more. Image apps are for
creating/manipulating images.
Period. The HTML they spew is second-rate at best.
