Restrict access to wireless networks

I need to change the setting or create a batch file that limits user accounts. Laptops running XP. The problem is that users are network access wireless to a company nearby and using that to work around our network access and filtering of sensitive sites service.

How can I configure laptops so that users are unable to connect to the WIFI nearby?

  • Password to access the wireless network

    I am trying to set up my iPhone to my home wireless network and I don't remember the password to access the wireless network and it drives me crazy! I'm going to network and sharing Center, then the properties of the wireless network. I click on the security is WPA-personal security type, is type of encryption: TKIP the box to show the network security key characters will not let me click on it. Anyone have an idea how I can access my own password?

    Thanks a lot, a lot in advance! Lisa

  • I'm trying to access a wireless network with the password provided for me. I get the following error message

    I'm trying to access a wireless network with the password provided for me. I get the following error message: "the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 characters ascii or hexadecimal 10 or 26. "what does this error message mean and how do I address so that I can access the wireless network?

    I use XP Professional with service pack 3. I get this error message every other time I try to log in to a protected wireless network security. I used to not get this message; but, now, it may be impossible, sometimes to call all wireless providers when I might only need for a short period or after hours service opening.

    In addition, it is my computer that requires the network password to be different, not the provider of wireless. A password is given to me who works for other users, but my computer won't let me use it.

  • where can I find the security code to access my wireless network

    security key

    where can I find the security code to access my wireless network.

    Hello

    Check with the manufacturer of the router's support and most have forums and excellent documentation online.
    You should be able to access the router to set a new SSID and password if necessary.

    You must know the SSID (name of the router) and the password.

    If you do not know these you can find in the running on the WiFi system now with this
    free tool. This is not a crack, it should be run on a local computer that has access (or access)
    to your router. Sure, the information will not be there if Windows was reinstalled or information
    has been deleted otherwise.

  • No Internet access on wireless network

    My HP desktop computer that uses Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit has been working well when out of the blue, I can't connect to the internet.  I can connect to the wireless network, but then he said: no internet access in most of the time.  When I go to solve network connections, it will either say "the default gateway is not available" is fixed and sometimes "connection is broken" detected, not fixed.  Sometimes it will say no problem.  I can not load a web page or download anything (although I can connect sometimes but at a very low speed and it does not last more than 30 seconds or so).  There are two other computers that use the wireless network and they both experience no problem.  I tried the Mode safe mode with networking, a clean boot, uninstalled my antivirus, tried to use IE and Firefox at each stage, and a few solutions that I found online without success.  Help, please

  • Satellite Pro L510 cannot access my wireless network

    The laptop recognizes wireless networks are available but requires a 'logon domain' with my user name and password.
    Where can I find the logon domain? What is it?

    Hi mate

    I don't know how you are trying to connect to the WLAN, but generally you n t need no user to connect to the WLan router password.

    You need, it's the right SSID (wireless network name), Wlan encryption right and good WiFi encryption password.

    First of all, ensuring that the WiFi network has been successfully activated!
    Key combination to select Wlan using FN + F8!
    Also read the manual of use of laptops for more details how to enable the Wlan!

    Then, you must configure the Wlan router every router supports a configuration different procedure but normally you should always have a manual with your router.
    There should be a step by step instruction how configure it!

  • How to get two laptops to access the wireless network.

He just continues to try to acquire again and again, he can never acquire it. This second computer using Windows to configure the Wi - Fi connection and was working fine until I tried to connect the Dell laptop upward. Then, the IBM laptop cannot acquire an address. I go around and try to understand it. Someone at - it information to solve this problem? Both computers are runing Windows XP Pro SP3. My wireless router is a Belkin54g (F5D7230-4V8000)

    You can control a with either wireless network adapter software integrated in Windows XP (or WZC Wireless Zero Configuration) or with software provided by the manufacturer of the card (for example, Intel PROSet/Wireless), but not both at the same time.

    Most, but not all, software configuration wireless no Windows is smart enough to disable WZC automatically.

    There are a few sites that offer "safety tips" for wireless networks which includes 'hide' your wireless network by disabling the SSID broadcast.  This is not a good idea and does not, in fact, your wireless security.  See http://blogs.technet.com/b/steriley/archive/2007/10/16/myth-vs-reality-wireless-ssids.aspx if you have disabled broadcast SSID of your router, automatic configuration won't be able to find it.

    I get a message that the network is secure, and the second computer guard trying to acquire an address, but will not acquire an address

    If you have enabled encryption wireless router (a very good idea), you will need to enter the correct password in order to connect a find an IP address. What type of wireless encryption configured on the router?

    This second computer using Windows to configure the Wi - Fi connection and was working fine until I tried to connect the Dell laptop upward. Then the IBM laptop cannot acquire an address.

    You have changed something else.  The idea of a wireless network is to allow multiple computers to connect; connection to a computer shouldn't affect how another computer connects.

    The easiest way is to configure your router to connect a computer using an Ethernet cable (if you connect wireless, you will be disconnected when you make a change to the configuration of the router wireless).  For the Belkin router User Guide is here--> http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/p74559-f_f5d7230-4v8xxx_manual.pdf

    Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and type 192.168.2.1 in the address box.  You should get to the home page of the router. Click on the "Login" link at the top.  The default password for the router is blank (no password) unless you changed it.

    Click on the link "Channel and SSID" under the heading "wireless" on the left side of the page.

    • Make sure that there is to check the "Broadcast SSID"
    • "Wireless mode" should be "g only" or "fashion g and b" (the latter is necessary only if you have a very old b wireless adapter in one of your computers)
    • I suggest you let off QoS (but click on "more info" or see what says the User Guide)
    • The wireless channel should be 1, 6 or 11.  If you have no difficulties, let him you will find
    • "Protected mode" should be off (but click on "more info" or see what says the User Guide)
    • If you make changes, click on "Apply Changes".

    Click on the 'Security' line under the heading "wireless".  You should be able to see both what type (if any) encryption is configured (64-bit WEP, 128-bit WEP, WPA, or WPA2) and the password (if any).  Unless your computer maps are old, you should use WPA2.  If the adapter in one or more of your computers is too old to be capable of WPA2, use WPA.  Regardless of the bit, WEP length, is easily broken.

  • Restrict access to the network on 871 router via mac address

    Hello

    I have a Cisco 871 router and I am trying to allow only specific MAC addresses access to the network. Is there a way to specify that only specific MAC addresses are allowed to access? Any other MAC access will be denied?

    I can either have static IP or DHCP for local machines.

    Can I use this "secure DHCP IP address assignment" details found here... http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t15/feature/guide/ftdsiaa.html ?

    I use these...

    static Mac address table

    OR

    Security table of Mac addresses

    ... to achieve this?

    Thank you.

    You can use "mac-address-table static" If you know all the mac addresses that will be connected.

    If the router is by distributing ip addresses so you can indeed do secure IP DHCP address assignment.

    Note that you can make a 'mac access-list' switch and aplly in any vlan you want.

    Alternatively, you can do "dhcp snooping" allowing guests who got a dhcp ip addresses and are not identity theft.

    I hope it helps.

  • Restrict access to external networks by VAPP org model

    In an org, is there a way to restict access to nets external org by VAPP model?  I would have a net external org which is only available for a particular VAPP tempate in the catalog, and then other models do not provide access to the nets outside org. I tried to play with custom roles, but no luck yet.

    Thanks in advance,

    As far as I KNOW, I don't think you can handle the microphone at this level.  The Org of external networks are available based on a set of true or false... either available or not available.

  • How to restrict access to the network for customers in the lobby.

    Hello

    How is - this preferable to limit the access of the data ports in the lobby of the company for Internet access only? Although the hosts are not on the field, is it safe to allow them to reach the port of data?

    I suggest setting up a vlan separate for these ports and usig dot1q on trunk this vlan to a DMZ interface dedicated or the subinterface on your firewall with an ACL that only allows access to the internet. That should do the trick.

  • Access to the wireless network

    All of a sudden I can't access my wireless network that I use for this computer for 2 years.  My modem works as I have tested.  But it does not find my wireless network.

    Hello

    Power Off (Unplug) your Modem (cable, DSL or other type ISP service you are using) and the router and waiting
    3 minutes and power and then turn it back on. Then, restart the computer.

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. Use a wire or download the drivers on
    another computer then transfer them using removable media.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for card (NIC) network and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they

    Thank you.  I'm like a dog with a bone when it comes to these things and not rest until I get solved.  So, I found something in the knowledge base of the forum who pointed me in the right direction.  Using Device Manager we uninstalled and reinstalled the card wifi, and bingo, it works again.  Ceases to amaze me, but how a computer works fine 1 minute and then the next time that you are never going to use it, boom, something does not work.  And you did nothing to change anything so that it does not work.
