Ta Sypnapse I did try leaving the password in blank and didn't work either. Lately is getting an habit to change default settings in anything. I suppose that is to protect business... But sometimes is not, is just to say "I am more clever than you, try to go in now if you can". This is the case that someone did in a set of PCs in a Hastings' charity where I am teaching old people to use the PCs as voluntary work and really p**s me off to have to hack and disable the passwords because hacking is something that you don't expect to do in a charity organization, but... Of course, the "thing" did provoke a row and in the end the "thing" was what I said before: "Look how clever I am". Fine... He got a bit of his own medicine. It is obviously an issue with the modem when is working on wireless mode, because before I was using the same modem but not on wireless mode but plug on the phone line and in the PC Ethernet USB plug and was not interference at all in any gadget at all, so IT IS the wireless transmission the problem, but as Thompson has changed the default access settings... To let things clear, I am not a hacker as such, but I did some online courses just to know because the best defense against something is to know how "something" works. An alarm system is good so far nobody knows how it works and where the detecting points are, otherwise is just useless. Kind regards. Tino

Ta KenB Sorry... Was supposed to set the picture in a legible size and I forgot to do it. But yes, says: A username and password are being requested by http://dsldevice.lan. The site says: "Thompons Getaway" And then the places for "User name" and "Password". I did try before, following your advise, the Admin for both, Admin as username and Password as password and in the back of the router are only numbers for "SN" (Serial Number), "Bulk", "Mac" and "Access Key". Following the advise of ukbobboy I did use also the Access Key, but no one of them did work either. By the way: installed in the PC in the Thompson file when I did install the modem software, t here are a icon that says "Wireless Configuration Utility" but when I do click on it nothing happens at all. If you click in the link enclosed in their text, you will get the notice that I've forgotten to resize.

Thank you RandyL I have it in Photobucket, anyway, just in case, but I am going to try what you say. I was telling to KenB that what shows up when I do click in his link is not the same Thompson picture that he did enclose, but the one below, if I manage to do it. In any case also I write the Photobucket URL. http://s1058.photobucket.com/albums/t403/Tino1948/?action=view&current=ThompsonGatewaylogin.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t403/Tino1948/ThompsonGatewaylogin.jpg Just learning... Kind regards. Tino

Good afternoon KenB Just a question... In this Forum, Can I post a screen shot just clicking on "" and enclosing the URL or I need Permission to do so? The notice in the bottom left says "Posting Permissions" and I don't know what that may mean. Kind regards. Tino

Ta, ukbobboy Nop... Doesn't take those values either.

Nop, similar. I don't know how to to copy and paste figures from a word doc or attach something from my PC in this Forum but I have all the screen shots filed on the "IT problems". Certainly the one that I have doesn't show anything from Thompson like yours just the site makes reference to Thompson Gateway.

This question is not resolved but I am having a replacement so, please, consider the issue closed. Ta.

This thread has been passed to the Mac OS X side of the Forum. Please, classify it as "Moved". Ta

Nop! Doesn't work...

This is what happens... [h=1]HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required[/h]

I just did it again Plastic Nev... Let's see if "disappears" again.

(NOTE.- I did this post this morning but seems to have vanished...) This issue is not mine directly, but I having it in one of my voluntary works . They use Mac OS X Snow Leopard and they use FileMaker. In a sudden, and without good reason, a particular part of the database can not be shared using IWP so members of the charity can not open the file when they need it. I did advise them to use other kind of sharing online without using FileMaker, but is a matter of security and they are not willing to change anyway. The contents of the file are very sensitive due the profession of the members and the social status of the “clients”. The file can be open from the host PC but not from the remote PCs or laptops as before. We did try all the tricks on the book with not avail, especially the ones about the ports 80 and 591. Until last week all was OK; no updates, upgrades, software improvements or changes were done in the meantime but since the last Monday doesn't work. There are a lot of similar cases –or just the same- with all the FileMaker versions in several Forums but no one of their solutions proposals did work for us (and not for a lot of the people that made the posts either…). What can be the problem and how to resolve it? Thank you. Tino

Funny! I did it this morning and, when I did it, the post was there, but it has disappeared... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or at least I can't find it. I did put practically the same thread title and the same question but it is not there... I'll going to do it now again. Ta Plastic Nev. 73 Tino

Sorry, I am not clever... Because I am using XP when posting, I thought that I only should use the section this section, but now I wonder if this post should be better moved to the Mac one. If I am not breaking any Forum's rule I am going to repeat the post in the Mac section, but if I am, please, accept my apologies and delete the post in the Mac section. Kind regards. Tino

Hi KenB Aaah! Google... I don't know why I am not too very keen on Google but, again, Why not? I'll have a go more often. I am not using IE but Mozilla Firefox. I feel that is a lot faster than IE, more accurate and with more facilities and better menu and control bars. I don't know... Probably I am starting to get the typical old people manias... Certainly, in general terms, Microsoft and I have a rough relationship. For "funny" and not important things I use the best OS that Microsoft has produce so far, XP (the best improvement of 98), but Vista, 7 and 8 are absolute crap. They took away all the goodies of XP but they put a lot of "divine wonders" that drive crazy to the teenagers. For business I am using Ubuntu Linux and AppleMac OS X Lion and I am in love with the Apple word processor on their office application iWork, Pages 09. Linux never was intended to be costumer friendly but for geeks and IT illiteracy crazy people like the one that is writing this replay. The free applications add-ons that came with Obuntu are very impressive and are more than 3.000. The basic Ubuntu, the Ubuntu Desktop, takes about 68Gb and the manual is 120 pages, but the Ubuntu Server manual is more than 360 pages (near as the one of Apache). The full Desktop with all the applications installed is near 4Tb. The good thing is that Linux is an open source, so is free. The last to be paid for was RedHat (the one that I was using while in London). Well... Let's go with the Thomson issue. When I did hit ENTER as you said, says that "The server could not be found". I did try to open the Wireless Configuration Utility that gets downloaded when install the software, doesn't allow me to open it because I am not authorized and I have not their Administrator password. So, I'll keep not going near it with this particular mobile phone and the laptops. The funny thing is that Telecom Plus gave me a modem to plug into the laptop to get into the network while going out and also works OK inside. Certainly, inside with the PC switched off, the laptop doesn't need the modem, catch 100% the signal from the wireless router. ?????????????????
