Infinity connection timeouts since July 22nd

I know there was a major outage on the 22nd and I was affected by that.
Up until then my connection was rock solid.
Since the 22nd I have been getting connection timeouts on my line and have been needing to reset the router and modem which doesn't always work.
Anybody got any suggestions!!!

That's all I can tell you because that is all it says.

Did you find a solution?
Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled.

Connection Timeout after updating to 10.6.6

Dear Friends
I've got Macbook Pro mid 2010, when I was on 10.6.5 there was no problem connecting to Wi-Fi but after the magic update, I always got "Connection Timeout". another thing to add, I can connect to any network via windows 7 I installed on my macbook.

My two cents is that I have had some type of network problem since install Snow Leopard. I even went back wiped drive and did clean install. Seems their is a problem but not sure if its multiple problems or just one. Safari seems to load pages at a crawl at times. I did several speed tests and found the WIFI connection noticeably slower (about half) compared to my Windows Vista computers running WIFI. Even though my MacBook has N version connection and the Vista ones G.
I have tried different DNS servers and nothing seems to help. The router is the second one I tried. I had a Linksys wrt54 then bought a Belkin F5d8236-4 and both have no effect on the problem. Even a different browser did not help. I have simply determined that Apple needs to fix something in Snow leopard.

Connection timeout on hotel wifi - only with MacBook8.1 (810.9) configd plug-in:8.1 (810.9)

I'm having a "Connection Timeout" issue while trying to connect to my hotel's WIFI.
I bought an ex-lease refurbished white MacBook (Build 12E55 - 2.4GHz, the last 2010 model I think) a couple of weeks ago. I bought it so I could use it while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia. I've got OS X 10..8.4 installed.
At home in Australia, this MacBook connected to my home WIFI with absolutely no issues at all.
Now that I'm in Bali, I'm surprised to find that every time I try to connect to the WIFI at the hotel (where I'm staying for a whole month), I get a "Connection Timeout" error. I'm surprised because my iPhone connects to the hotel WIFI with no problem at all, as does our two iPads and the Android phones that belong to other family members. It's only my MacBook that struggles, even though I get even better signal strength indicated on my MacBook compared to my other devices.
I can connect my MacBook to my iPhone hotspot fine, though I'd prefer to use the free hotel WIFI over my very small 3G data allowance.
So the problem isn't that my MacBook can't connect to any WIFI, because it did at home and it still can to my iPhone hotspot.
And the problem isn't with the router, because all other devices work flawlessly.
I've trawled many forums and articles trying to find a solution. Here's everything I've tried already, that I can remember. (Not in this order and not all at once.)
Rebooted MacBook (duh)
Sitting directly under the WIFI router. (It's not a signal strength issue.)
Set up new Network > Location. Deleted Ethernet and Bluetooth PAN so it's just WIFI in the list.
Renewed DHCP Lease countless times.
Tried manual TCP/IP variations. It doesn't help that I'm not sure what to put in the IPv4 Address field. I do know the Subnet Mask and Router IP from looking at my iPhone network info.
Tried using my MAC address as the DHCP Client ID. Also tried just using "1" or leaving it blank.
I don't know what an IPv6 is either.
Tried BootP and completely Manual setups but not really sure of the correct settings to try.
Tried using the DNS servers that I found on my iPhone network info for the hotel WIFI. (One of them is 8.8.8.8 which I think is Google's DNS thing?)
Tried checking Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP Mode, since it was suggested as part of a solution in a forum thread.
Tried changing the MTU to a couple of other settings from an article I read. I think one was around 1453 and the other was 1494 or something close to that.
Tried resetting PRAM
Tried resetting SMC
Tried a variation on resetting SMC that involved pressing down the normal keys plus one extra, for 10 secs, since it worked for someone who was told to do that by an Apple Care person. (He didn't know why it worked and other forum posters thought it was supposed to have been a SMC reset.)
Checked the Network> Wi-Fi in System Information to see if the Channel is compatible. The router uses Channel 1 and my MacBook is capable of using Channel 1.
Checked my country profile. It's X1. I have no idea if that's good. All I know is that I'm in Indonesia not Australia and I'm having WIFI issues with this hotel network.
Checked the PHY Mode. Supported are 802.11 a/b/g/n. The hotel router uses 802.11n.
Made sure I was using WPA2 Personal.
Tried deleting all WIFI-related passwords in Keychain.
Tried deleting all Network-related preference files.
Tried removing all LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents.
It's not a "lost WIFI connection when waking from sleep" issue but I tried turning off sleep anyway.
My husband even had the nerve to unplug the hotel router (small hotel, we're the only guests at the moment) for 10 minutes hoping it will reboot. But I don't know if that's the actual modem or just a WIFI repeater thing (sorry, can't remember the right terms). It didn't work anyway.
I've run out of options, other than just sucking it up and getting a big 3G data allowance since I'm here for a month.
If there is anything else I can try - perhaps working out how to set up my Network manually properly, please help me out. Here is everything in System Information that might help. I'll happily provide any other info.

Sorry. The topic title got mucked up when I tried to paste in my System Information. And I can't paste it in using my iPhone without it going haywire. I can provide any details you need.

Wi-Fi connection issues since securing network

Hi all,
Hoping to get some solutions as I have tried to troubleshoot this issue with other posts and google searches. Here is my scenario :
I'm running OS Lion 10.7.5 on my MBP and have been connected to our home wi-fi for about 12 months on a connection that wasn't secured by password.
Since having some download issues and fearing that someone is connecting outside our household, we have secured our wi-fi and added a password.
Both mine and my sister's iPhones got prompted to select a network, selected the appropriate one, punched in the password and were connected with no issues. My iPad Mini, Dad's laptop and both my parents' phones all connected with no issue.
When I booted my MBP, I was prompted with needing to join a new network and upon selecting our home network was met with an immediate 'Connection timeout' response.
I try to connect manually through Network in the System Preferences and got the same 'Connection Timeout'. When I click 'Assist me' and try to connect that way, I am finally prompted to input the password, which I do correctly and I get 'Invalid Password' etc etc response ... then after about 5 seconds it connects me !!
So even though the connection timed out and I wasn't able to put a password in, manually doing it told me the password was wrong etc then I get connection like normal. If I switch my laptop off/reboot/log out/turn wi-fi off then back on, I'm back to square one and can't connect unless I follow the same tedious steps.
Fearing it was an issue with our router, we have since bought a new one, installed it and reconnected all the devices as mentioned above, however my MBP connection issue still exists.
How can I get it to connect automatically like it used to and recognize our home network with a correct password, without continually having to go through all those steps ?
I have tried to delete that entry in my preferred networks and tried to re-establish it etc. Keychain Access doesn't list my router and input password.
I'd like to be able to solve the issue asap if possible and hopefully without having to delete all of my other known networks that I connect to as I travel all over the country for work and have about 6-8 routers I connect to, depending on what city/office I'm in.
Any assistance would be appreciated !

Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller

Best router for a macbook experiencing connection timeouts?

Hi all,
I know macbook wireless connection issues have been discussed to death already, but I have a slightly different question and with Black Friday looming, I was hoping to get some input from those who may have had success with finding a new router. I apologize for the incoming wall of text, it's been a long, arduous journey.
My 2007ish Macbook ceased to be wireless over a year ago, at least at home. I was on Snow Leopard at the time, and using the internet when it dropped suddenly but connected after a restart. It dropped several more times and each time would require more restarts. By the end of the day, it didn't see my router, nor the neighbors' forever unsecured linksys router (yet i've had to go to war defending our network from their 17 year old son) or any other nearby network. I'm no longer 100% certain, but I do believe there had recently been an update (wifi died around July 4th 2011 if anyone is an obssessive date keeper) In the next days I installed kismet and istumbler and took the macbook for a drive around the neighborhood, where it proceeded to detect all kinds of other networks that it had never seen before (like, ever because its out of range). At home, still nothing.
Over the next few months, I furiously googled for hours upon hours and tried everything I came across. And I do mean everything, even things I consciously knew would not have any affect. I did a clean install of Lion but no change. It's been to the apple store three times, where of course it detected their network and connected with no hesitation and diagnostics showed it maintaining better signal strength than I can ever remember seeing at home. They gave me various suggestions, from the predictable 'replace wireless card' to the ludicrous 'send it off and have the antennae replaced' which would be $800 dollars because they would need to open the screen part. Yeah..no. At least they replaced my swelling battery and top case for free. Anyway, thenceforth I remained chained to my desk by ethernet.
Fast forward to now. Still chained to the desk, but more determined than ever to do something about it. About a month ago I gave it another go and eventually after a few adjustments it started to actually detect the router and I can click to connect, enter the password, but of course, connection timeout. So the network name sits there in the dropdown menu, but bars all greyed out. Very frustrating.
So as a last ditch effort, I have decided to try replacing our router, a Linksys WRTP54G that is infuriatingly locked to Vonage, which we no longer have. There's a motorola surfboard modem connected to the router, and a switch between the router and macbook. The switch isn't the problem, it wasn't even there when the problem started. I've also tried a WRT54G which didn't work either. The Macbook works fine on a university network, but I don't have access to any of the specifics about the network. It also connects to a plethora of other home networks and routers, some of which I do believe are b/g routers.
We're due for a more powerful, capable, and not-cursed-by-vonage router anyway as our devices have increased in number from 4 to nearly 13. I want one that can support NAS and if possible Open WRT. I was also planning to move us behind a VPN very soon. I know that's maybe getting a bit nitpicky, but I am definitely prepared to pay more if it means the Macbook is wireless and I can clear up the 20ft river of chords snaking not so subtly around our upstairs.
So the question is, has anyone had any luck fixing the problem by replacing the router? Even if it doesn't have tons of features, any input on what kinds of routers seem to make Macbooks with this problem fall in line would be so helpful!!

Apple AirPort Extreme has served my mixed environment very well. You can buy a refurbished one from Apple and save some $.

Network Connection Timeout when "Chkng for available downloads" from iTunes

I have been struggling with this problem for weeks and have spent a significant amount of time trying to diagnose and fix without success.
When I select “Check for Available Downloads” through iTunes, I receive a “Network Connection Timeout” message and iTunes fails to download any information. It does ask me to validate my access with a password before it fails.
This problem initially occurred after I purchased the iTunes Plus updates for my music library. It backlogged about 70 updates that are now sitting in the queue to be downloaded to my local iTunes library. However, since I made that purchase, I have not successfully been able to do any downloads from the iTunes store. I suspect that the volume of items in the queue is related to the problem (as a trigger or the cause).
I have also tried to buy a single song. Although the purchase is successful (it charges my card and adds the song to the download queue), it doesn’t successfully download the song. I cannot, at this time, even get to a point where I can display a list of the queue for download. It always fails when trying to access that available download queue.
Podcast downloads still work fine through iTunes. I have never had problems with the store before and have done very large downloads (e.g. audio books) in the past. I have had no changes to my configuration leading up to this problem.
I am running a relatively new computer with a clean install of Windows 7, plenty of memory and very fast processors. I’ve got high capacity DSL. The connection is wired from the router into my network card (not wireless).
I have tried a number of things as noted below and the problem still occurs:
1. Confirmed access to internet, and ability to download from other web sites without timeout
2. Confirmed my ability to access the iTunes store, change my personal information, browse songs
3. Confirmed ability to download podcasts
4. Deactivated my windows firewall, antivirus and Net nanny content protection.
5. Deactivated the router firewall, and placed my PC in the DMZ of the router (which means that it should be wide open to the external network).
6. Swapped out the DSL modem for a different DSL modem and completely removed the router from the configuration.
7. Checked my drivers on the network card and made sure they are up to date.
8. Ran Windows 7 network diagnostics – no problems detected
9. Ran iTunes network diagnostics – no problems detected
10. Uninstalled all software related to iTunes and reinstalled most current versions (iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjur, etc.)
Thoughts?

Connection timeout error in web report(portal)

Hi Experts,
Points to note about the 500 connection timeout error
1. Error persists only in portal. query/ report works fine in RSRT and Bex Analyser.
2.As per previous discussions tried implementing SAP notes to change ICM parameter for max of 10 minutes.
However, it is said by Basis team that they can change parameter only if all the report gives the same error.
Since all the report works fine they are nt ready to change the parameter.
4. Error: Time exceeds 600seconds
5.This issue arised only after upgrading the system to 7.3. post - upgrade. this report was working fine before.
6. Even in the portal, report works fine when we use ABAP web link.
Please share your suggestions.

In the trace file there is a error message for this report "Could not find a command, masscommand or group command with alias <new task>. It is defined in group . <TaskCollectionGroup>. pls any one help me. This is for 7.31 NW portal

Connection Timeout Expired in Windows Event Logs

I just recently installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 server and have been receiving this error message in the Windows Event logs:
Cannot connect to SQL Server. <database server name> not found. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below.
Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase. The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; Or it could have timed out while attempting to create
multiple active connections. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=12; handshake=6; [Login] initialization=0; authentication=0; [Post-Login] complete=14000;
I have never seen this error message before in my life on any prior installation of SharePoint that I have ever done. It is only occurring on this one particular installation of SharePoint. The environment is corporate built, so I have no idea
as to how to troubleshoot or determine the root cause of this error message.
I looked at the value of the database-connection-timeout in stsadm and it gets back a value of 15, however, I am unable to alter the database connection timeout using stsadm since I either get an "Object reference not sent to an instance of an object"
error message or "This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm by users who have permissions in SQL Server to read from the configuration database. To connect this server to the server farm, use the SharePoint
Products Configuration Wizard, located on the Start menu in Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products."
Please advise.

What is specification of your SQL server? i think its more CPU, RAM, I/O issue with SQL server.
under which account you are running the stsadm command?
check this one

Web Service Connection Timeout - Whats the default value?

Does anyone know the default value of connection timeout property in Web Service activity?
One of my web service takes longer time for processing. So just wanted to know this value for debugging.
Thanks,
Nith

Hi Dexter,
In your case, we can try to increasing the size of the connection pool to resolve the issue. By default, the Max Pool Size is 100. You can refer to the similar issue below:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c57c0432-c27b-45ab-81ca-b2df76c911ef/timeout-expired-the-timeout-period-elapsed-prior-to-obtaining-a-connection-from-the-pool?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
Since the issue is related with ADO.NET. I suggestion you post the question in the following forum:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=adodotnetdataproviders
It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Connection Timeout error message - HELP!

Hi,
I am so fed up with my internet connection....so here is my story....
I live above a shop in a rented flat which is owned by the shop owner, he kindly gave me the password for his router so I could use his internet free of charge.
This has worked fine with 3 different connections he has had since I have lived there and was working with the current one up until about a week ago.....it all of a sudden went off, however it was still showing up as an available network in my networks list, but when I try to connect to it using the password it brings up the 'connection timeout' error message.
I thought that this was something to do with his router so I brought my friends 3 Huawei E585 wireless internet device round to try that, but the same message appears, HOWEVER my iPhone 4 connects to this perfectly fine with a full signal strength.
THEN....my Dad took my Macbook and the 3 Huawei E585 device over to his house and my Macbook connected to it straight away??? ....... is there anything in the building that could affect the connection?? - as it seems to be my flat for some reason all of a sudden!? ..... my Dad has suggested it may be some sort of electrical interference if anything new has been installed recently?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I'm SOOOOOO fed up of not having internet!!
Thanks

John,
I had the same problem when I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard in January. My memory is already rusty but try the following:
1. Go to System Preferences > Network pane. On the left pane, click on AirPort. In the right pane lower right, click Advanced button. Then on the AirPort tab, click on the name of your network and then the minus sign to remove it from the list.
2. Click Apply and quit System Preferences.
3. Put the computer to sleep.
4. Wake the computer.
5. Go back in to Network preferences, AirPort tab. Click the plus sign to add your network. Fill in the Network Name, choose the type of Security by clicking on the pop-down bar, enter password/code/phrase and click Add. NOTE: Do not connect to the network at this time.
6. Click Apply and Quit the Network Preferences.
7. On the Menu row, click the Airport icon and select your network. (IF your network does not show, choose Join Other Network. Fill in the Network Name, choose the type of Security by clicking on the pop-down bar, enter password/code/phrase and click Join.)
8. Verify connectivity
9. Put the computer to sleep.
10. Wake the computer.
11. Verify connectivity

HT4628 MacBook Pro connection timeout.

I'm running Lion on my MBP version 10.7.5 and I can't connect to my friend's wifi. Every time I try to connect it reads a connection timeout. I can connect to every other wifi network I try but his. I can connect with my iPod and his entire family with their devices but not my MBP. I've read other forums and tried everything. I've done Ethernet and it works fine. I've set my network priority to wifi and even manually set his. I've done the custom location thing and all of that but no luck no matter what I do. I need help.

In support of Nykki, we have same issue with connection timeout. Have trawled the support here and on others and in summary:
Macbook Pro on 10.7.5 software is up to date.
It doesn't always do it - I'm posting from the notebook now.
It hasn't always done it, problem started in last 2 weeks and my daughter with a 13 inch Macbook has the same intermittent problem since two months.
No, it's not helpful to suggest changing routers or blaming firmware on the router - my iphone, ipod touch, kids' imac, wife's ipad and an Apple TV3 all work fine. If one more Apple worker or Apple fan suggests the problem is somewhere other than on my MacBook Pro I'll scream.
Sometimes it manages to connect if I do a shutdown-restart on the notebook.
Yes, I have tried the tricks with deleting the wireless networks using KeyChain access, did not work.
Has Apple itself actually acknowledged this issue - there are thousands of search hits on the topic?

OID Firewall / Data Connection Timeouts

Hello
I have an OID cluster (11.1.0.5) setup within our environment and have a firewall installed between the OID servers and the database servers. The defualt connection timeout for the DB connection was increased to three hours, but after three hours I keep getting the periodic failures of OID / enterprise manager. I have set the idle connection timeout and retries in the OID configuration, but this still seems to occur even with the timeouts / retries configured. Is there a max session length or some other way to tell OID to close db connections after a period of time so that the max session is not reached?
Also, if I am just querying OID with a script, it seems to work past the three hours but I think this is more of a cache thing whereby it is responding with cached entries. When I go to enterprise manager and try to manage OID, I will get the failure after the timeout with a LDAP error code 49 error and need to submit a bunch of requests to OID to refresh the connection to the database.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nick

Alex,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Not having Maximum times in ODP will make things complicated and a myriad of race conditions can occur.
There is an involved example of a Transaction Timeout Cancel that I could implements with a an application Maximum timer on page 5-27 of the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Developer's Guide and it is not easy to implement
However, it is not described anywhere on how to implement a Maximum Connection Timeout.
In the example below from the docs the application will block at the Open() call:
// Connect
string constr = "User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=oracle";
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
con.Open();
So do we do the following:
// Connect
string constr = "User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=oracle";
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
*//Set_Application Timer*
con.Open();
OnApplicationTimer()
con.Close()
//Do application timeout processing
What will the Close() do for us here? What will happen if the Connection open is still in progress when we try to close it?
Should we forget attempting to Close() and wait until Oracle decides to return in the first method as shown below?
OnApplicationTimer()
//Do application timeout processing but don't explicitly send Close()
// Connect
string constr = "User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=oracle";
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
*//Set_Application Timer*
con.Open();
//Eventually it will timeout. If succesful, clo0se immediatly since it is too lpate.
