Using my laptop to sign for free WiFi places

IM no longer able to sign free Wifi locations such as MdDonalds & libraries. I'm pretty sure it's my fault, always messing with my laptop settings. Can someone tell me what to do & how to do it? I know that my laptop is working because I'm able to get on the Internet using my Hotspot. Pls tell me step by step if you can, what I need to do. Thank you very much

  • can I use a laptop to set up a wifi access point?

    When I first received a laptop of opportunity in last December, a colleague tech at my night school mentioned that I didn't have to buy a 803,11 access point device to plug my switch, but I rather use a WiFi card on my computer to create my own access point. I told him I have such a card and put a little out of my mind.

    However, I have someone outside to spend the night at my place, and he needs to check his e-mail. Unfortunately, it seems that the RJ-45 socket on his laptop is broken, I have tried several cables and impossible to get a connection, including the cable to connect the computer I'm using now.

    Is it possible that I can use ICS on XP Pro (preferred) or Vista 32 bit Home Premium (really want to use it, I have never set the boot loader after the upgrade to XP on a separate partition, especially because XP has worked so much better) to set up enough connectivity for him to connect to the mail server?

    Should I Windows 7 or Vista to do this? I know how to do the reverse quite easily (share Wi-Fi on the Ethernet port), but I don't know how to set up the SSID and others. I would assume same WEP or WPA2 (Yes, I know how it is easy to crack, but it's better that transmitting passwords in clear text because it discourages occasional interception) would too, so it will accept a connection open, unencrypted. I'll just close access once it does.

    How could I go to set it up? I'm not spending money on software that is not free for one night, one-shot deal. Kiss, I just need a connection of bare bones for him. If its Ethernet port was working, I would leave him to plug my switch, but since it's not I need to create a gateway using what material I have on hand, and the only device with any kind of ability 803.11 is my own laptop.

    I know it's possible, I don't know if this is something only Linux, or a solution that requires 3rd party software.

    Yes, you can use ICS.  See http://practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/

    I forgot to include this--> http://www.home-network-help.com/ad-hoc-wireless-network.html

    You will need to configure security manually from the properties of maps dialog box wireless (on both computers) and IIRC, you can use WEP in ad-hoc XP networks.

    Go to the correct place
    Right click on the wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    Click the wireless networks tab
    Click Add to create a configuration
    in the 'Association' tab, set the SSID, network authentication 'Open' and WEP data encryption.
    It's been so long that I made that I remember exactly, but I think you can use only the 10 digit Hex key.

  • where can I change the password for free wifi on Acer 10th switch

    I use a public wifi who changes his password every month. I connected it with my Acer Switch 10 E for the first time last month (a week ago) and I was asked for the password. Now, it's a new month and I am not prompted for the password and I can't find a place to change the stored password. I can still access my own wifi and wifi to work who have correct stored passwords.

    I tried to select options wifi and it allows not sharing and sharing. When I'm in the range of wifi and run diagnostics it either tells me that the computer cannot detect the network hardware - that can't be true because I can connect at home - or the wifi connection is set to manual, which is not the issue because if it is set to manual or automatic He asks me the password.

    If I select the show the network connections and the State in the internetb Control Panel, I see the wifi connection but it doesn't have a name, when I right click on the wifi connection, it does not give me a Connections tab where I could change the password. If I select Change card options it is the same story. Other people around me are connected so I know that's not the router. If I try to add a new connection it tells me it cannot detect network hardware.

    I should be able to make the details screen connection display and change the password, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but again, this access to the security for any unconnected network tab is precisely what I was not able to do. The problem is: when not connected, no wifi connection appear in the list of wifi-State; only an icon for the device software. If I right click on that window opebned upward has shown me the properties of the driver etc., not on the network. He had no security, and no properties 'Wireless' don't link.  10 Windows, you need to get separately to the networks are not connected. Now, I found the item "manage known networks." It was much further down the page than I expected from images that I had seen, that showed above the element change adapter settings. Then I was able to forget the network and he asked me for a password. Just deselect "automatically connect" does not ask me the password. Connect automatically seems to be defined as a sort of default.

    Thanks anyway.

    Hello!

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible.
    You can use t as the screen of the laptop as a monitor. The laptop doesn't have a video input port, there is only for video output ports. This is the reason for this.

    So if you want a HD screen for your PS3, you will have to buy a monitor only. The laptop can be used for this.

    Good bye

  • Is satellite L350-170 - possible to use the laptop as external monitor

    Ok... So I broke the other day to the top of my screen on my laptop, and was amazing, if it is possible to use another laptop as an external monitor.

    while I put my files on an external hard drive

    or isit only possible connection to the pc?

    Hello

    It would be possible to use the second laptop as an external display ONLY if the computer a laptop would support the video port line-in to the receipt of the video signal.

    But the most common books supports the only video out s-Video port or a vga port, and in this case, you will not be able to use the laptop as a second monitor external.

    For example, the Satellite L350-170 supports only the RGB port that allow you to connect this laptop to external monitor but you can not use this laptop as compensation for external monitor.

    See you soon

  • Need a new laptop computer for my wife

    SORRY for THE LONG POST, but I wanted to try and get my questions / situation has responded (seeks advice) all at once.

    Here's the deal.  My wife is currently using a laptop XPS 17 4 year.  500 GB hard drive, 8 GB mem with a 2nd generations i7 processor, that was fast, 4 years ago.  Time for an upgrade.

    Its use is: absolutely no game (we are too old for it), so don't want to pay for any card/video enhanced feature - lots of photoshop retouching with Photoshop Elements - will use MS Office Word, Excel, and OneNote - a lot of genealogical research (mainly Ancestry.com and family tree) - internet surfing (mainly shopping) - email - wireless - and I think that's about it.

    Probably do not have a barn-burner system, but I don't like powerful systems because you don't know what might appear in the future - so I prefer pretty processors high-end with lots of memory, for photo editing work (was told that Photoshop Elements do not use the video card that is my reason to minimize this feature).

    Probably will not replace the system for another 3-4 years, which is another reason to prefer a high processor range.

    I thought processor i7, 16 GB memory, maybe 1TD of hard disk and minimum graphics card.

    I have sort of a question on the display.  It is currently using and like the screen 17 ".  But if one were to get a 15 ", with the same size of HD (number of pixels I guess), the image on the screen seems to have a finer resolution because the pixels are staring closer together.  Or a 15 "display would make it more difficult when Photo editing editing and cleaning of old photos (she does a lot of that is related to his work of genealogy).

    Oh and one last thing.  We want Windows 10 and think that we are not particularly interested in touchscreens - although if you get a touchscreen, it does not hurt, he likes it.-, do not use it if you do not want, you do.  I wonder too, if you save a lot by getting a non touch screen, since most of the systems is underway now configured with a touch screen - which is a real perception.

    And one final point may be of interest.  I was thinking somewhere around $1,000 for the system.

    I hope that you stuck with me and read the whole long post and give me some advice as to what type of Dell system would have these requirements and needs.

    Thank you.    Ron in round rock

    Hello!  In my opinion the Inspiron 17 5000 should do you very well.  If you like and are used to a 17-inch screen, it can be a bit uncomfortable reduce the size of 2 inches.  In response to your question about pixel etc, if you have a screen 1080 p on a 17 inch screen and drop down to a 15 screen inches most people would say the image seems a bit sharper because the pixels themselves are smaller, but it also depends on how far you are in the screen , the brightness of the screen, the quality of the screen, etc.

    Watching the series, I mentioned, it is one that has everything you are looking for, but only 8 GB of RAM for 849,00, or the 16 GB for 1099 version.  Even if you don't really want a dedicated graphics card, it comes with the AMD r5 which used to bad at all.

    If you wanted to drop to a 15 inch screen, you can get the Inspiron 5000 15 series for 799 which has all the technical features you are looking for, or you can switch to the Inspiron 15 7000 series itself, but that is more oriented towards people who like a little play.

  • No sign bar on my blog, using my laptop with Firefox but on IE.

    There is no sign in the space, showing on my blog from my laptop page. I have to use IE to log in using my laptop, but I can work on it fine using Firefox to my office. I tried without the toolbars and it just doesn't appear in the upper right as it does on THE desk or using laptop computer. any suggestions?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

  • Try to set up an iPad Pro with free wifi network which has need of a browser pop up for work.

    The IPad will not be implemented because the free wifi needs a browser pop up for access and the installer will not allow this.  Any idea to do this work?

    Launch Safari and manually type an address, no matter which site will do. Safari should redirect your connection on the free wifi portal.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Free WiFi does not

    My laptop (HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC) does not connect to the internet. The problem started after I downloaded AVG Zen, I have shortly after uninstalled. State of the control of HP network connection arrives with two messages of "IP not subscribed (109). I don't know what it means that this is the first time I saw him. I rebooted the WiFi router and my laptop several times and there was no change. When I troubleshoot WiFi he said it might be a problem with the driver for the WiFi aidapter. I don't know how to solve them. The WiFi icon has full bars but has a little (!) next to it. Someone help me please. I can fix it manually, or do I have to consider for repair?

    In the taskbar, icon search, type recovery.

    Recovery should appear at the top of the search box.  Click on the recovery.

    Then the control panel should open, and you select open system restore.

    Then follow the instructions on the screen to restore your computer to a day that it worked OK.

    Select the closest available restore point to before installing this software.

    Hey everybody,

    My question may be stupid, so I apologize in advance but If I buy a Mac of opportunity I get applications like iMovie etc. for free?

    Thanks for the explanation or instructions to solve my problem.
