Multiple Internet Connections

Hey there everyone, I had an idea the other day and was wondering if this is possible in any language. I would love it if Java had some way of doing this, but I wouldn't think so.
The thing is, I see more and more machines coming out with wireless and lan capabilities. This makes me think, why can't we make use of both connections to the internet? If I'm sitting at home and both a wireless connection and lan connection are made, why can't I download a file using both connections thus doubling my download speed. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I could go about doing this? Does Java have the capabilites to get to the actual connections so I can choose which connection I want to use?
Thanks in advance for any guidance anyone can provide.
Eric

Hey there everyone, Thanks for all the replies. This is correct that the particular connection I was talking about is connected to the same cable modem, thus using two connections is still sharing one. My thought though was, say you had a limitless connection, where you could get the maximum download speed of your nic card 100 MBPS. If you have the wireless that can get say 10 MBPS (Fictional number), the idea would be to utilize both connections thus giving you the 110 MBPS download.
I know about simultaneous downloads done by get-right and most browsers. I wasn't looking for that, I was looking for making use of the 2 physical connections.
I figured that it had to be at the Operating system level, do you think this kind of access can be obtained through JNI? Thanks for the heads up on Linux, I'll definetly have to look into that.
As for the two IP's, does one machine get two IP's for the two connections? I thought the one machine only had one IP. Will have to test that out next time I can.
Thank you all again for the replies, if there are any other suggestions I would be most greatful.

Multiple Internet Connection Issues

Hi there, long time reader first time poster.
I figured I should post this as, while having read through hundreds of similar posts I still can't figure out how to solve my connectivity issues.
I just bought a new iMac 21.5 inch 3.2Ghz i3 model and while I am happy with the machine overall, it is the second one in a month - the first had a faulty ethernet port and refused to connect to the internet out of the box. Apple replaced it without question - almost as if they knew.
The replacement has now seemingly developed the same issue.
Some background info. The computer was connected both through ethernet and through the TC I bought to back it up until yesterday. So I was getting both a wireless signal from the TC and one through ethernet.
I have a hub that has 5 devices connected to it ( Printer, Cable TV, iMac and TC - now a PS3 ) That hub is served a signal by a simple NTT modem connected to a phone line. That modem is now nearly 5 years old but has always given great net speeds so I don't believe the problem to be the modem - I could be wrong though.
I just bought a PS3 and tried connecting it yesterday but had multiple problems. Despite me entering the correct PPPoE information to the letter, the PS3 refused to connect, saying the password and username was incorrect. I could connect it via a Bluetooth signal but no hard wired connection would work.
So I unplugged everything from the hub, shut down all the machines, turned off the modem and let it sit for 10 minutes and then plugged the ethernet cable from the PS3 straight into the modem, giving it a direct line. Switched on modem, rebooted PS3 and tried again - this time it connected through ethernet. I still don't know how or why. I can guess but I'm sure you guys know much more about this than I do.
So then I tried connecting the iMac back to the net, reconnected all the hub, followed the same procedure. Off, sit for a bit, on etc. This time the PS3 has no connection and now the iMac has no connection either!
The TC gave a green light though so I was able to get wireless. I tried removing all net locations from the iMac, installing new ones, renewed the DHCP lease, but no matter what I did (PPPoE info 100% correct) it just refused to establish a connection.
The the bloody TC light flashed amber and I couldn't get wireless either despite being plugged into the hub and getting a signal! The PS3 is now working and the cable is fine so I am starting to think either I have cluster ****** the whole setup or something is wrong with the iMac.
I go away for an hour then come back and the stupid TC has somehow picked up a connection! The light is green again?! But now the time connected display is scrolling repeatedly. I've got net but what the **** is wrong with all this?
Bottom line - not ethernet connection for the iMac but TC seems to be working and all other devices have a connection.
Please help me if you can! I just can't figure any of this out.

Your description is a bit confusing, but I use English as a second language, so it may be just me.
1. How is the hub connecting to your modem, by ethernet cable or wirelessly?
2. Which device is negotiating the internet connection with your ISP, the modem?
3. Does the device that negotiates the connection use PPPoE?
4. How are the other devices being handed their internet connection? DHCP only?
Only one device should be connecting directly to your ISP using the PPPoE protocol and configured with your account username and password. This device is preferably the modem. This device should be configured to hand out internal IP addresses to the other devices on your LAN using DHCP. All of the other devices should be configured to request an IP from that device, whether by ethernet or wi-fi, just with DHCP.

Optimal use of multiple internet connections

G'day,
lets say that you can access the internet via multiple means lets say over ethernet and airport. Perhaps you want OSX to prefer one over the other when one is faster than the other, or just to share internet usage over the two resources.
Is there a way of doing this using OSX, or is the a 3rd party app to achieve this?

You can aggregate two links of the same type (e.g. two (or more) gigabit ethernet ports) but you cannot do it with different interface types (e.g. one wired ethernet port and one wireless).
That's because of the way that link aggregation works - the host system and the switch it's connected to have to agree on how the packets are split between the multiple links. This cannot be done if links don't all go to the same place - e.g. one link to a switch and one link to a base station.
With a wired and a wireless port, the best you can do is active/standby.
Of course, this discussion is only relevant if your internet connection is greater than the speed of one of your links - in this case 54mbps - otherwise all you're doing is talking to your router faster, which is going to throttle the traffic down to your WAN link speed.

Multiple internet connection download balancing on Mac

Hi All!
I have two separate Internet connections, both are adsl 2mbps. One is available by Ethernet cable, second one is a WIFI. The come from separate lines. Lately I am downloading a lot, and I am looking for software that would utilize both connections. I went through forum and I found couple of threads here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9437318#9437318
https://discussions.apple.com/message/9437318#9437318

https://discussions.apple.com/message/8137953#8137953
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1660762?threadID=1660762
But none really answered my question. All threads are archived already so I decided to refresh this topic, as some time passed and solutions could changed.
Do you know/use any good software that would load balance Internet download form both lines so I would endup with 4mbps?
This would be very helpful for me. Thanks a lot in advance!

I got a first Mac Pro from Apple Store on September 1st. I had to send it back due to the misfunction of the AirPort connection. I have an AirPort network with an AirPort Express base station and four PPC-macs functioning perfectly. From the beginning the Mac Pro connection (same rooms side on side with other Macs, for instance an iBook) had only one third of reception strength for the Internet and the speed for the connection with other computers in the same network (which I need badly) was in-cre-di-bly slow. Big jobs were'nt even finished correctly.
Yesterday (september 22th) I got a Mac Pro in replacement – exactly the same phoneomena. Serial Number is CK6370X2UPZ. Just as our Norwegian collegue expressed it: you could cry. I will send this one back, too, an wait for a month or so before I order a new one.
At the Apple Service they tend to tell you that you are the first one reporting such problems.

Multiple Vlans with multiple Internet connections using PBR

Hello all,
I'm trying to wrap my head around this configuration and not having a lot of success. I have several Vlans 3,6,71,72,160, and 180. I have two internet connections, Internet1 is connected to an ASA5510 and Internet2 is connected to a Meraki MX80. I'm using two 4506 switches on my backbone trunked to 3750 switches that my clients connect to. None of these switches have IP Services and my 4506 supervisor does not have an Enterprise license. However I do have one 3750 100Mbit switch with IP Services so I'm using that to do my PBR. All my routing is currently being done on the 4506 switches and all Internet traffic is going to the ASA. What I would like to do is force vlan160 and vlan180 through the Meraki as their Internet connection and the rest of the Vlans go through the ASA. I'm thinking about trunking my vlans from the 4506 to the 3750 (the one with IP Services) and use policy based routing from there to force vlan160 and vlan180 to the Meraki. But in order to do this I think I would have to move my routing onto the 3750 switch but since that is only 100Mbits I'm thinking this is going to choke my network down and defeat the purpose of the 4506 backbones. Any suggestions or alternate ways to achieve my goal?
Appreciate any help you guys can send my way.

Matthew
What is the speed of the connection from the 4500 to the ASA and what is the combined speeds of the internet connections ?
You definitely don't want to do all the inter vlan routing on the 3750. You could connect it up as shown in your diagram but leave all the routing between vlans on the 4500s. Then you -
1) connect the 3750 to the 4500 using a L3 point to point link
2) connect the 3750 to the ASA using a L3 point to point link
3) do PBR on the 3750 interface connected to the 4500 for traffic coming from the 4500.
If the 4500 supervisor/IOS version doesn't support routed links on that end just use an access port in a dedicated vlan ie. no other ports in the vlan and create a new SVI for it.
You would need to update your routing to reflect the next hop on the ASA, Meraki, 3750 and the 4500.
Disadvantages are -
1) you only have fast ethernet ports on the 3750 so if the combined internet speed is greater than that then it will be a bottleneck.
2) it is a single point of failure ie. if it is lost all internet via both connections is lost.
The alternative would be to not have the 3750 in the path but connected to the 4500 via a trunk link and then route just vlan 160 and 180 on the 3750 ie. move their SVI(s) onto the 3750. Then the 3750 could have a direct connection to the Meraki device and point the default route that way (no PBR needed). The trunk would only allow those specific vlans on it. This would mean a failure of the 3750 would not mean ASA internet lost but it would mean loss of connectivity for the two vlans routed on the 3750.
You would need to add routes to the Meraki for return traffic plus routes on the 3750 and 4500 for inter vlan routing.
The main disadvantages here are -
1) inter vlan routing between the vlans routed on the 4500s and the vlans on the 3750 will be limited by the 100Mbps connection. However you could use an etherchannel trunk so you could get greater overall throughput and some redundancy
2) more importantly though i suspect you are running HSRP between the 4500s for the client vlans and moving the SVIs onto the 3750 means a single point of failure for those vlans.
Personally i would tend towwards option 1) because of the SVI HSRP issue and perhaps because there may be a lot of inter vlan traffic and even with an etherchannel it would be too much.
But, single point of failure issues aside, a lot does depend on internet bandwidth in option 1) vs inter vlan traffic in option 2).
So it's a tradeoff and personally i don't think either are ideal so i'll have another think on this in the morning to see if there is anything more obvious that i have missed or maybe someone else will add to the post.

Airport Express - need to run multiple internet connections from it.

My systems:
iMac
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
Currently, I use my airport express to wirelessly "feed" an internet connection to my Vudu box (movie download box). Right next to that box I would like to connect my Wii and DirecTV boxes to the internet using the airport express. The problem is that the airport Express has only one LAN line.
How can I share this one port with all three devices? I don't want to keep adding Airport Express boxes nor do I want to add an Airport Extreme at that location as I use airtunes on my stereo and Airport Extreme doesn't offer that. As you can tell I am not very computer literate so go gentle on me
any help is much appreciated.
Guy

Ok I need everyone's help. I just bought the AirPort Express I am running Windows XP Service pack 3 I have the ethernet connected to the airport express from our wireless router at the same time my computer is connected to the internet the same way. My computer has Internet just fine. After installing AirPort utility it is saying it is unable to find any Apple wirelss device. I am wanting to use my AirPort express with my IPhone when I travel Internationally. I know it works because fellow employess have done this. I have tried unplugging my Airport Expess and the light keeps blinking amber. How do I get to to flash green and how do I get the Utility to detect the Express so I can set everything up?

Internet Connection Keeps Dropping

So for a couple of months now my internet connection has been randomly dropping out. It happens sometimes a couple of times a night, sometimes not at all. When the connection drops out the router seems to power off (all lights turn off, power light turns red). After a couple minutes the router seems to reboot and everything is fine. During this time FiOS TV continues to work.
I have now had 3 new routers and new ONT. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried multiple coax lines and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried moving the router to a location with better ventilation and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried plugging the router into a UPS and that hasn't solved the issue. I have tried plugging the ONT into a UPS and that hasn't solved the issue.
I am about ready to drop FiOS all together, a connection that randomly drops out multiple times a night just is not usable. I can't play any internet games for fear of getting disconnected, I can't watch videos without it stopping halfway through. I have a tech coming out Friday but I am not sure what they can do.
Does anyone have some suggestions?

Yeah, I have a suggestion, read this: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Verizon-FIOS-Router-Actiontec-MI424WR-GEN3I-Issue-Dropped...

Server loses internet connection after creating virtual switch in hyper-v

On a fresh Server 2012R2 Essentials install, I set up Hyper-v and created an external virtual switch. Connection to the vm is good but Health Report no shows loss of internet connectivity and that the router is incorrectly setup.
However, I still have a working internet connection? I worry that the server may not update or allow Anywhere Access at some time. Any suggestions? Thanks

If Hyper-V virtual switch behaves strange and server is destined for testing, then it's correct and I recomend delete this virtual switch and create it again.

Firefox has been causing drops in my internet connection lately. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!

OK, I recently wrote to the author of Session Manager about this problem, since I thought I'd narrowed it down to that, but, well, maybe not. I'll copy & paste that conversation here, rather than waste a lot of time writing up something from scratch, especially since I've already wasted an INCREDIBLE amount of time on this problem, and I'm about ready to go berserk...
Hello. I've been using Session Manager for a long time, but lately, it's been causing a problem that's been driving me out of my skull, and I think I've finally pinned it down to SM. lately, when I've tried to load sessions, even with a small number of tabs, it's caused my internet connection to drop, or, at least, to slow down to the point where pages try to load, but finally come back with a message that the connection timed out, or the page had took too long to respond. I have my Windows Vista Home Premium computer running Firefox 11 connected via Ethernet to a wifi router that is connected to a cable modem. I tried disabling pre-fetching, resetting my router to factory settings, I tried a different router, I tried removing the router and connecting directly to the cable modem, i tried a different modem, I tried disabling the Symantec extension, I tried clearing windows' DNS cache, I tried disabling Firefox's DNS cache, I tried disabling Symantec's Firefox extension (I have Norton anti-virus), and I tried disabling my anti-virus & firewall programs (hmmm, did I leave anything out?), but none of that solved the problem. I haven't noticed this behavior with any other program, and Firefox goes along swimmingly otherwise. The reason why I think I've finally pinpointed it as SM is that trying to load a certain 9-tab session caused this problem multiple times, but I eventually got it all loaded correctly, and then I tried restarting it, and Firefox's own built-in feature of loading the tabs and windows if it closed properly the last time worked just fine, and it loaded quite quickly.
So, why might this be happening, and what can I do about it? Do you think it might be a matter of the SM data being corrupted/ If so, how do I get rid of it? I found the Session Manager Export Tool extension and exported my sessions and then tried uninstalling and re-installing SM, but it hadn't gotten rid of the old SM data. Please help, as I consider SM to be a vital part of my Firefox and have come to rely on it, plus I'd like to be able to use my old saved sessions again. Please help ASAP, too, as I've already wasted an unbelievable amount of time on this and I am extremely frustrated and aggravated. Thank you.
The response I received:
"Session Managwr cannot cause your Internet connection to drop, it simply doesn't have the ability to do that. All it can do is cause Firefox to restore tabs that have been saved. It can cause lots of web pages to load, which could slow down Firefox or possibly your Internet connection (if you have a really slow connection), but it can't drop your Internet connection. The only exception to that that I can think of is if your modem has a web page with a reboot button and you press that, then save the session such that restoring the session causes the reboot button to press, but that is extremely unlikely.
By default Firefox loads tabs one at a time anyway so it's unlikely to slow things down when loading sessions. If Firefox can restore sessions properly, the Session Manager should be able to do so as well, since Session Manager uses Firefox's restore capabilities.
I'd recommend disabling plugins in Firefox and/or other addons and see if that helps. If you can figure out what changed recently that would help narrow things down.
As for Session Manager data. It doesn't store anything other than the sessions. You can delete those if you wish."
My reply:
Well, I have a cable internet connection, so I don't think speed is the problem there.
Are you sure about Firefox loading only one tab at a time? I know when I load a session, it seems to show several tabs loading at the same time, and I can't remember it ever not being that way.
Frankly, though, I need more specific, targeted help than being told to just start randomly disabling extensions. I've ALREADY wasted an INCREDIBLE amount of time on this and am ALREADY EXTREMELY frustrated and aggravated, and to just go blindly shooting around in the dark at random is only going to throw craploads more wasted time and aggravation onto the already huge pile. I'm at my wit's end here. I can't take much more of this. I need REAL help. I need more specific, targeted advice about what sorts of things I should be looking for, what sorts of things I should be trying, etc. I don't have any patience left to just start flailing around randomly and likely getting nowhere fast.

HT1751 I need to set up iTunes to run on my local network, independent of the internet because of a bad internet connection.

I have Hughes Net, for internet. Due to this, iTunes in the cloud, does not operate for us. I need to put my music on a local drive, and create a network drive, to use iTunes, while at home. (I'm still not sure about how I'll handle the music on our iPhones). I have a current AirPort Extreme, (802.11ac), and I have a 64gb flash drive, as well as a 1.5TB external SATA drive, that can be used. I'd like to NOT have to keep the MacBook Pro powered on all the time, but would still like to play music, through/on my iPads and iPhones, while at home.
How can I set this up, to run, independent of the cruddy internet service, which won't allow me to stream a single song, without stopping to buffer, for multiple long periods, during one song?

itunes can share music over the network without an internet connection, but you will need a computer running itunes powered on to be able to share it (setup in itunes by going to file (windows) or itunes (mac) > preferences > sharing)
if you just want to setup a network attached storage drive for the network that holds all the music that would be done independently of itunes and you would need a compatible NAS drive (I don't believe the airport is technically a nas drive but you could ask that section of support communities as well https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport)

How to provide access to multiple users connected to a Dumb switch? (multi-auth/multi-domain)

Good morning everybody,
I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
show authentication sessions:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
What I want to get is an output like this:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
interface FastEthernet0/x
description Connection to DUMBswitch
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan XXX
switchport port-security maximum 10
switchport port-security
switchport port-security violation protect
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication priority dot1x
authentication port-control auto
authentication timer reauthenticate 4000
authentication violation replace
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
spanning-tree portfast
The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
- PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
- When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
Thank you
Stoimen Hristov

Hi Stoimen,
I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

Unable to get an internet connection while tethered

I've updated my phone to 3.1, I've tried in Win7 and XP. I've removed the bluetooth memory of the iphone from the PC and vice versa multiple times, rebooted both, uninstalled the bluetooth drivers and reinstalled. No matter what I do, DHCP fails to assign a proper IP address and gateway.
It worked fine up until a few days ago, then it just stopped. This happens both over USB and Bluetooth

No Internet Connection in some locations

Greetings all, and thanks in advance for the help...
I have a MBP 13", running 10.7.4. In most locations, the wi-fi works fine. In certain locations, though, I cannot pick up a connection even when all other devices in the area (wife's MB, iPads, PC's, etc.) can. For example, it consistently works in my office and at home, but I cannot get a connection at my in-laws' house. There are certain public hotspots where I see other people with Macs working online, but I cannot get a connection. In all cases, I will see the network, but it will show the '!' and the menu will read: Alert: No Internet Connection. If I access the connection in Networks, it does not pull an IP address. If I renew DHCP lease, it will still not pull an IP. If I connect to the router with an Ethernet cable, it works fine.
I've looked through many threads here, and have tried the following:
I have powered down and reset the MBP, router and modem.
I have confirmed that the router is not using anything higher than 10 (currently 9 for example).
I have connected manually, taken the IP address that is assigned and works (i.e. 192.168.0.7) and entered that as a manual address for the wi-fi connection.
I have run System Update and installed any updates necessary.
I have created a new location and tried that as well as using the Automatic setting.
I have burned fresh incense and been very cautious to only wave the smoke around the computer in a clockwise direction, never counter-clockwise.
It's maddening to not know at any given location whether or not you'll be able to connect there, and I know that if I take it into an Apple Store, they'll tell me "Well, it works in here, so it must be your router." Again, if it were only one location that consistenly didn't work, I'd be inclined to believe them, but the fact that a) other devices (including ones using Lion) work in these locations and b) it's multiple spots that consistently don't work tell me that there's something system-oriented happening here.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Many thanks.

I am having the same problem. It depends on where I am.
If I'm at home connected to my Netgear wifi connection, everything works fine. Some days into down to the coffee shop in my building and I get the no Internet connection warning, but others are connected.
I have to ask the coffee shop folks to reset their wifi router, and then I get the connection.
I am not sure what the disconnect is between the coffee shop router and my MacBook, but I'd much rather prefer to find a solution to reset my wifi card so it works, then having to ask the coffee shop barista to reset the router every time I have this happen.

When downloading content in Premiere Elements 11, I get an error "no Internet Connection"

When I try to download content (themes, etc) in Premiere Elements 11, I get the message that there is no internet connection. I am connected via LAN and have no other issues connecting.
"Download failed. Either the server is currently unavailable, or your computer is disconnected from the Internet. Check your connection and try again."
I have tried on multiple occasions. I have changed my default browser. I have tried different content (themes, titles, etc) and I have tried to download all or only one item at a time.

SG has given you for details for Premiere Elements 12 when you have Premiere Elements 11.
In Premiere Elements 11 Expert workspace, go to Help Menu/Deactivate. If you see a viable "Deactivate" (which it looks like you have), your program should be activated. In Premiere Elements 12, Adobe has Help Menu/Sign Out as the equivalent of the version 11 Help Menu/Deactivate.
Typically the Content Download depends on Internet connection and Adobe Server. And, the process is for many of us slow. I would give the process another try at another time of the day.

Have you tried the process with the antivirus program and firewalls disabled?
Please try again with the antivirus and firewalls disabled and then we all can think about what next.
Thanks.

Add On...If you have not done so already, please right click the desktop icon for your Premiere Elements 11 and select Run As Administrator even when you are running from a User Account with Administrative Privileges.
In my comments, I have assumed that you are running Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. Is that the case?

WiFi: No Internet Connection Issue

Please Help!!!
MacBook Pro 13 inch i5-processor, 4G memory, Late 2011 edition running Lion 10.7.3
I finally made the switch from PC to Mac... after I had way too many PC failures. Several told me that they have not experienced such frequent failures on Apple products.
However, I am very frustrated and second guessing whether I made the right choice... so asking someone to help.
I bought a MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago that worked great for a few days. Then the internet slowed down. I thought it would be my router. I checked out the connectiviy at other locations where the speeds were great (commercial locations). On a PC the connection was good but on my Mac it was slow. So checked out for an update. There was one, applied that and there was an improvement. But found out that if I put the Mac to sleep and do not shutdown the spped degrades over time. Well, for some reason a couple of days later the speeds 'took care of itself' !!!
Now I have a new problem for the past 4 days... that has limited me in my day-to-day work.
WiFi connects and finds the signal and connects but do not have any internet connection. Gives me an error "No Internet Connection". This is what I have done so far...
1) Connect a wired connection... internet is fine.
2) Took it to Geek Squad (Best Buy) they ran a command "sudo ifconfig..." fixed it and gave me the same commands to try next time. However, that does not work at all since then
3) Ran Network Diagnostics... no help
4) Turned WiFi Off and On along with Forgetting this Networks and Joining again. Done this with several combinations and multiple times... no dice
5) There was a recent update and applied that ... no help
I am close to giving up on a Mac altogether... please help...

Can someone please at least acknowledge if they are or have experienced this same problem?
