My work lap top often picks up wifi signals, but, is not programed for some hotel internet.?

I would like to know, if there is something I can do, to solve this? It is a dell. I review medical charts, so it is definitely hippa oriented, but it is very agravating, when you are in a strange city, and need to drive all over town looking for a wireless signal, cause your lap top thinks the hotel internet is intruding. Is there an adapter of sort I can get? I easily log onto Panara’s, or McDonald’s wifi, no problem.


Is is possible to download a large file with wifi?

I downloaded the trial edition of Adobe photoshop elements – the file is 1.24GB, and only 120MB has downloaded!
I’m using my schools’ wifi but the connection is pretty strong. Is it possible to download a file that big with wifi? or should I just give up and buy the damn program?
Alright, I’ll just wait it out.
I started downloading last night, and when I woke up this morning it was still downloading super slow!
The estimated time was 6 hours and 20 min, when I woke up this morning – it was 442 days!


How do I get past a ban?

iTunes library over WiFi?

I’m planning to buy an iPod touch, but my music collection is huge.
Is there any way I can stream my iTunes library on my PC over my WiFi network to my iPod touch? (ie. programs for the Touch and my computer)
to clarify, I want my iTunes library to be played on my ipod Touch, because the Touch is not big enough to hold the entire library. (ex. playing music that is on my computer through the Touch)


How to make downloading programs like AZUREUS and LIMEWIRE work in a restricted network?

I am a student in a University. My only way of connecting to the internet is through my University’s WIFI (Wireless Internet).

In the past, I can download files through Azureus (Torrent) and Limewire (P2P). However, yesterday, the school did some upgrading on the system. When I tried using Azureus and Limewire, it no longer connects.

I just want to know if there are ways to make these programs work using my University’s WIFI system, which as it seems, blocks them from connecting. Thank you very much!


Internet speed and format question?

Ok, these are 2 questions in one :)

First of about internet speed.

I got wimax and when i plug in lan cable in other pc or lap top it works perfectly but in mine speed is terrible. I got 2mbit connection but in mine its like 400kbs.
What could be problem? I got no programs that could be limiting it or something :s

And now about format.
So to fix speed problem I’m gonna format hdd(i hate doing that, gotta burn like 200gb now and will take days to get pc to be normal) should I do classic format or just insert windows cd and click reinstall?

And beside installed programs and files I got, what other important things should I back up before formating because I don’t want to screw something up for later, like missing drivers or some pc part not working :s

Oh and no, I will not take it to service for this.
400kbps not kbs my mistake.
It’s downloading at speed like 20-40kbs


How do I make my wireless internet connection as my default internet connection?

i use WiFi now but some of my programs, when they check for updates, they prefer the DSL connection.

How do I make them STOP doing that and start using the wireless net connection?


What is the Difference Between Dell Studio and Studio XPS VERY DETAILED..?

Ok, so I am looking at two different computer,Studio XPS 16 and Studio 17. Processor,Operating System, Warranty, Hard Drive, and battery are the same. The only difference I see in the specs is the Wireless card for XPS is Intel© Centrino© Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 and for Studio Intel© Centrino© Advanced-N 6200. The Video card difference for XPS is ATI Mobility RADEON® HD 4670 – 1GB and for STUDIO 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650. the STUDIO has a webcam and is 235 dollars cheaper. WHICH IS THE BETTER DEAL?


Is there a way to text from a computer?

I don’t want to have to be on internet explorer because it is blocked on my computer but is there some type of computer program that will work. I have WiFi on my computer and my parents said that if i could find a legit program to text from my computer I can use it.


Internet speedtest results are good, but gaming/downloading still slow?

I have a Clearwire 4g Wimax card. When I ran a speedtest to the closest server to me I get 1.34Mbps.When I switch to a speedtest server 300 miles from me(just an example), I get 5.45Mbps. With that type of speed(the second server), I should not be lagging on Xbox Live, and it should not take me 2 hours to download a 700MB file. Any suggestions on why I cant seem to access all of the available speed for Xbox Live or even any browsers in general?
I appreciate your response, but how exactly do I do that?
Maybe I should mention the Xbox is connected to the internet through ICS with my laptop


How to connect to program port on PC over the internet with browser?

I can connect to this program on my PC called (remote control suite) via WIFI on my home network with my iphone webrowser by typing http://(my PC IP address):88. However, I can’t connect to it when outside my local network or using my 3G internet data plan on my iphone. This program creates an ir (infa-red) remote controller to change channels on my tv cable box that is accessible via a url so I can change the channel remotely. I have a scientific atlantic modem, lynksys WRT54G router and a HP PC. I tried to follow some port forwarding info I found online by finding out all my equipments IP’s etc. but with no success. Any instructions would be great!


How do I get wireless to work in XP Mode under Windows 7?

I am using the following wireless adapter:

Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150 (AGN)

I am on a Lenovo ThinkPad T500, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I have tried to install the XP driver for the wireless card within XP Mode, but that did nto resolve the issue, other than that i see a message in the lower right that there is an adapter problem which is that the driver cannot be found. Using the Network Passthrough (NAT) network setting does nto resolve this, as it still needs the driver so that it can detect the wireless card. Any suggestions on how to fix this?


How to know the Password for wifi that is already in my computer but appears in ******,?

The real thing is that my school lets you bring your laptop but if you want to enter to the school wifi, you need to give them the pc ready were the password is ready to be written, and then they wrote it. In other words you give to the “technicians” your pc and they wrote the password. Is there a program that lets you see the password after you have enter it.
PLEASE just tell me the program that you use to connect your pc to a wifi network that after you have enter it it shows you the password.


I just moved and can’t find any internet but satellite, please help!?

I just moved to Chattaroy, Washington (zip 99003) and need something other than satellite for my MagicJack and my husband’s wii. I can’t find any cable providers and don’t know much about internet. We need a high speed connection to get any online games working for my husband, and while our satellite is “high speed”, it’s not good enough for what we want to do. Is there any other way to get high speed in my area? I know there are several connection types and such, but don’t know what all is needed. The problem is that we pretty much live in the middle of nowhere. Please help us! First person to give us a provider out here will be given best answer. I’ve already tried Comcast and Time Warner, and it’s not out here. Also, these providers (not like we can find them here anyway) don’t work well with the wii, so anything else not satellite would be great! Thanks!

Providers that wii doesn’t support: Alltel EVDO AOL (America Online) All types AT&T Dial-up, AT&T 3G BroadbandConnect Clearwire Pre WiMax Commspeed MMDS Earthlink Dial-up, Satellite Future Technologies Wireless Hughes (HughesNet) Satellite Netcaster Satellite Northboone Wireless Seanet Dial-up Sprint/EMBARQ EVDO SpyTec Satellite Wireless Beehive Wireless T-Mobile Cellular Utah Broadband/MetroBridge Networks Wireless Verizon Cellular Vianet All types WildBlue Satellite Xplornet Wireless


Download music on University network without getting ‘caught’?

At my University we were told not to illegally download music/movies/etc because they would be able to see. In our room we connect to the internet using cat5 cables and some common areas have wifi.

Is there a program or some setting I might be able to use to successfully download things via torrent w/o getting caught??


CLEAR wireless connection problems?

We moved and we switched our internet service to CLEAR.. well we have 2 comps and this one is the main where we have the CLEAR directly connected and when we bought it the guy said that if we have a wireless router on the second comp then it can connect to the CLEAR modem. But it’s not working? The wireless router we have isn’t CLEAR (linksys) and we also have 2wire.

While trying to fix the problem (and getting little to no help from the customer service) we came across something called bridging? Would we need to do that with this? And also it says that it’s Wimax..(the CLEAR) don’t really know what that means.

So yeah. help please? I’m dying w/o internet and obviously I’m not all that comp smart so dumb it down please haha?


Wifi-only on Samsung i760?

Is it possible to use the Samsung i760 just as a wifi-enabled PDA without using the phone or connecting to a phone provider? Is is possible to use just with Skype or another voip program?


What are the differences in WiFi security?

As I see it there are two separate security issues when it comes to wireless networking (wifi not wimax). First is the ability to stop a freeloader from your WAN and start piggybacking off of your nickel. I believe this is what WEP and WPA are for, correct? In other words blocking an unauthorized user on your wifi wan.

Secondly, a more serious concern, is the ability to snoop into your WAN and see all data traffic. Sensitive things such as cred card numb, pswds stuff like that. Does WEP and WPA and WAP apply here too? If not then what does? VPNs is one solution.

I’m a bit confused to which to apply when. Thanks!
Pls read carefully. My question is not how to set up the security options. My question is what are the DIFFERENCES in wifi security?

Unable to connect to internet, but can ping wireless router and ISP modem through router?

I am trying out a new Wi MAX service. They gave me their wireless receiver which is a Sewonintech Wi MAX CPE router. I connected my Netgear router to the Wi MAX router and my computer to the Netgear router.

The Netgear router has an IP address of 10.0.0.1, visible from the computer. The Wi Max router issued the Netgear modem an IP address of 192.168.1.2. The network address on the Wimax router is 192.168.1.1.

However, even with these setups I am unable to connect to the internet. I can ping the Netgear router as well as the Wi MAX router with no problems.

I bypassed the Netgear router and connected the computer directly to the Wi MAX router. The computer was issued a new IP address and I was able to connect to the internet immediately and with no problems. The source of the problem seems to be the Netgear router here.

The Netgear router works flawlessly with my old cable modem. When I setup my network to run through my cable modem, I am able to access the internet with no problems.

I’m looking for any guidance I can get to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
