NAS Drops connection

I have been receiving errors when trying to open my NAS after not using it for a while after logging on to Windows 8.1. I am using a WD MyCloud with firmware v04.01.03-421. I can access the MyCloud from other devices including an iPad, iPhone, and Windows
7 Ultimate PC with no problems. If I log out of Windows 8.1 and log back in I can access the drive again. I receive the following error when trying to access the folder through mapped drive or through the "network" option:
Windows cannot access \\NASFILENAME
Check the speling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose
Error Code 0x80070035
The network path was not found.
The file name is correct and this is only a problem on my Windows 8.1 PC.

Hi Roger,
"I have been receiving errors when trying to open my NAS after not using it for a while after logging on to Windows 8.1"
Do you mean it can be accessed before ?
Please try to following command line to disable the autodisconnect feature to have a check.
"net config server /autodisconnect:-1"
Here is a link for reference :

We also need to change the power option of the network adapter.
Open Device Manager to change the power management settings for a network adapter. To disable this setting in Device Manager, expand “Network Adapters”, right-click the adapter, click “Properties”, click the “Power Management “tab, and then clear the “Allow
the computer to turn off this device to save power” check box.
If there is any antivirus software installed ,please turn them off temporarily to have a check .
Please also check the status of these services "Workstation, DHCP Client, DNS Client, Server, TCP/IP Netbios helper, Computer Browser".

  • NAS drops offline (OSX, WRT54GS v6)

    The following is my conversation w/ Smartdisk:

    OS 10.4.9 When txferring files, the NAS will drop from the network. The error message says something about access to the server is interrupted. Needless to say, it's frustrating. The NAS is connected to my 801.11g Linksys router, and I access it wirelessly. Please advise.

    Hello,
    The issue you are having is a timeout issue with the Wireless router. I would recommend checking the settings on the Router to ensure that there are no timeouts enabled and that there are no file size transfer restrictions. Thank you.

    I've just been all over the router and don't see anything that bears any resemblance to that, unless it is in the Quality of Service tab, but it doesn't say.

    Hello,
    I recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the router and see if they can locate it for you. Thank you
    SmartDisk Support
    So, how do ensure there are no timeouts enabled and that there ar eno file size transfer restrictions?
    Cheers

    There is no such setting on this router. Are you able to ping to the NAS once you lose the connection? If yes then it may be something in the settings in the NAS. You may try upgrading the router firmware, if needed.

  • WRT110 Drops connection

    Good day to all!
    My WRT110 drops connection from time to time, once or twice at random per evening + when one of my other PCs boot up.
    I have a Synology DS209 NAS wired, a broadband internet connection (through a modem) and several PCs on wireless. In this situation the problem is reproducable: I have connection on PC 1, and when I boot any of the other PCs, the connection drops for 5 minutes (both internet and to my NAS) on all connected systems. After these 5 minutes, every system connects again. All systems have DHCP switched on, and all systems have different IPs just before this happens. I have done a "back to factory defaults" and power cycles, but the problem stays.
    When I look with Vistumbler (or NetStumbler), I see drops from 90% signal to 0% once per -say- 5 minutes and irregular.
    Do I have a defective router?
    Thanks for an answer....

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Turn Off IPv6 Support in Vista
    Go to Network Connections folder (click on Start button, then right click on Network, select Properties, then click on “Manager network connections” on Tasks pane).
    You should see various LAN, wireless, Bluetooth, high speed Internet, and other network connections available on the Vista computer with the network adapter description. Right click on the network connection that you want to disable the IPv6 interface and select “Properties”.
    Click “Continue” on User Access Control permission request prompt.
    Clear the check box next to the Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the list under “This connection uses the following items” box.
    Click OK when done.

  • New time capsule+new airport express=daily dropped connections

    I have a new 2 TB Time Capsule and a new Airport Express that I puchased to update my old set-up of an Airport Express and Airport Extreme.
    I have the TC set-up as the primary base station in the back of the house and the airport express set-up to extend the network in the front of the house. I was getting constant disconnects up front for the first several days so I finally exchanged the new AX for another one thinking maybe the first one was faulty. I reset the TC back to factory defaults for good measure and re-set up my network the same way with the new AX.
    Two days with no disconnects, thought it was fixed, and then it started again...no joy. Not as often as with the first AX, but still it happens 2-3 times a day and always up in the front of the house while we're on our MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. When this happens both the AX and the TC have green lights and full bars of connectivity show in the menu bar, but yet no internet access. The only way to reconnect is to restart the AX. I have noticed too, that when this happens, the Airport Utility does not show the TC at all...even though it's light is fully green and it should be there, it just shows the AX until I restart and then both show up again.
    I've tried changing the channel from automatic to a specific channel but this really doesn't change things much. Now I'm starting to wonder if something is awry with the TC. I've also noticed that it sometimes fails to back up because it can't find a connection to my iMac which is right next to it in the back of the house.
    So far this upgrade has been more of a downgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Just an update and still seeking some advice for this situation...anybody?
    I tried re-setting both TC and AX to factory settings and re-configuring. Still get at least 3-4 dropped connections up front on a daily basis; however, TC has been connecting successfully and backing up my iMac, so at least that seems to be ok.
    Still the same situation with the TC not showing up in Airport Utility every time the network connection drops happen...just the AX is seen until I finally have to restart the AX and then both can be viewed in Airport Utility and the internet connection is restored. Sometimes I can restore connection by simply toggling my airport access on and off in the menu bar of my MacBook Pro, but more often then not, I have to restart the AX itself to get back online.
    Is it possible that this could be an issue with the TC? Somehow it might be dropping the connection to the AX? I can still exchange it for another if this may be the case. I'm already on my second AX thinking that the Express was the problem initially.
    So far, nothing seems to help the situation. About the only thing that I haven't done is configure the AX to just join the network rather than extend it...but that would be defeating the purpose of why I bought it in the first place (to stream iTunes and extend network).
    I never had issues with my old set-up, but then I had it configured as a WDS because I didn't have the option to "extend" the network as it was an older AX and Airport Express.

  • 10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections

    I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
    Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
    Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
    At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
    2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
    One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
    I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

    I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
    From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
    Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!

    Sorry - to add:
    I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
    Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).

  • Poor performance and now dropping connection

    I am very underwhelmed by performance since switching to infinity FTTC last year. Download speed is very variable and I just cannot get an upload speed much better than 1.1 Mb/s.
    Now we have a regularly dropping connection. Last Saturday morning we had a thunderstorn with heavy downpour and phone line dropped completely - no dialtone and unsurprisingly no broadband. Did a line check from my mobile - all fine and no reported problems in the area. I phoned BT and got an Indian who just repeated what the website told me and said couldn't get an engineer for 4 days! Phone came back late the same afternoon and a little while later broadband came up but connection was up and down like a yo-yo. After 4 days of sunshine when the engineer turned up broadband had been up solid from 3 am and phone was fine. Engineer did more detailed tests which showed no problem and reckoned our problem must have been fixed, and that reason broadband had been dropping was because of computerised checks due to reported fault which would cause line to drop.
    For a few days all was fine, although performance still underwheliming, until we had another downpour yesterday morning. Phone line stayed up, although a little crackly, but once again broadband started dropping regularly. Since then it has gradually improved (no more rain).
    My suspicion is (and always has been) that with the heavy rain water is getting into a connection somewhere. How do I go about communicating it to BT support (I can't even find a web page or number for reporting broadband problems) this fact and actually getting someone to look into it properly? I rejected the "fault reported fixed" on the tracking your fault web page but so far nothing.
    I am distinctly unimpressed with BT support and unless this gets fixed soon I am seriously thinking of switching to fibre to the home with Virgin (despite hating Branson) especially as the move from Yahoo mail to BT mail has not been smooth and the BT webmail is full of bugs (which again I cannot find any way of reporting).

    Thanks. I tried that. Broadband up and down regularly until the day the engineer came. Day before had intermittent heavy crackling on the line and calls dropping. Day he came all is fine and of course his diagnostics checks come back all clear. Apparently, or so he told me, they are not allowed to work on our line unless the checks show a fault...which they didn't.
    I've just had 24 hours of our broadband working but just now it's started dropping regularly again.
    I am getting very frustrated/annoyed. What do I do now? How do they expect to solve the problem if it isn't constant and they can't get an engineer to look at it within 3 or 4 days? Do I just keep on calling our an engineer until by chance it happens to hit a problem while they're on site? Not good for customer satisfaction and surely it must cost them to keep sending out an engineer!

  • AT&T U-verse dropping connections suddenly

    Hi all.
    Since upgrading to Yosemite, there has been a degrading of my internet reliability with AT&T U-verse, and its been getting worse and worse.  I now drop connections every HOUR.  Speed and WiFi strength are great when its working, but it will spontaneously stop working, and if i do a series of diagnostics, quitting safari, turning wifi off and on, etc., I can get back online after a few minutes.  BUT WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?  At this point I've mucked around with just about every network setting so I no longer even know what they should be.  AT&T is fairly useless regarding tech support for Macs, so hopefully someone here knows the current UVerse setup and can give me some advice.  Here's where I stand:
    - I have a 2009 Mac Pro, running latest Yosemite.
    - Router is AT&T Motorola NVG589, connecting to U-verse service (not gigabit, just regular)
    - When internet service drops, it appears that the WiFi continues to be connected well, at least for a while.  The NVG589 status page still shows my machine connected, and the WiFi signal strength in the menu bar remains full strength, but Diagnostics show failure to connect to ISP and internet.  Other Devices, like my phone or other laptops, continue to connect fine, so the broadband is fine, so maybe the WiFi is only appearing to work or something else is going on.  At some point, the WiFi also stops responding until I do a bunch of restarting stuff.
    - I have already trashed the various preference files and created fresh new locations, but to no avail.  It all works fine for a while then goes spotty again.
    - I have my network prefs set to "Link-local only" which had worked fine before.
    - I set the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    I don't really know much about the various pros and cons of different settings, but apparently you can get the NVG589 to assign a static IP address (or semi-static or something like that) but is that BETTER?   would that end the dropouts?
    Any other ideas?

    Hello Javier Bonafont,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that it can be very frustrating when you are having multiple Wi-Fi drops in signal at home. There are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please refer to the attached article for information and steps to help you troubleshoot this situation.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • New Airport Extreme (6th Gen) Dropping Connection from Time to Time.

    Problem:
    6th Generation Airport Extreme drops connection intermittently at random times.
    Set Up:
    6th Generation Airport Extreme (main router - no hard drive/not a time capsule) located center of house on the main floor. 2 Range extenders each approximately 30+ feet away from main router. First range extender (Airport Express - newest generation) located on the third floor parallel to main. Second range extender (Airport Express - new generation) is located at the end of the kitchen (main floor).
    Main Router is connected straight from a Motorolla Surfboard modem on a foyer table at the center of the house.
    Range extenders connected to Main Router wirelessly and at wall outlett height.
    Previous Setup:
    Same setup as above but, with the 5th Generation Airport Extreme instead of the 6th Generation.
    Firmware:
    All current versions.
    Devices:
    1 SONY VAIO VGN-FW490J
    HP Notebook G60
    Several WEMO outlets
    1 iPad Mini
    1 iPad 2
    1 iPhone 5
    1 Motorolla RAZR MAXX
    Macbook Pro
    iMac (wired from main router on foyer table)
            Note: All of these routers/range extenders/modem/computers are plugged into surge protected outlets.
    Notes:
    With the new Airport Extreme my family and I have been experiencing intermettent connection drops. The amber light on the main router turns on and within a few minutes turns green and connection resumes again. This has been happening for a few days now ever since I purchased the new router. This has not happened before with the 5th generation router, which I donated to our church.
    I have not exchanged the product yet. I will be initiating a Complete Power Recycle after some suggested solutions in a bit. I have contacted my Internet Service Provider (Comcast) for a line check and found no problems.
    Has anyone found any solutions to resolve the intermittent connection drops? Is reverting to the previous firmware going to solve this?
    I would like some insights before trying to do all this. Thank you all for your time.
    P.s.
    I've done a detailed post since posts like these is frequently asked questions on set-up, devices, connections, etc:

    Update:
    Before I went to exchange my 6th Gen Extreme, I ran through all possible solutions from complete power recycle to no devices connected. I even went out of my way to my cousin's house to test it out. The same problem still kept coming.
    I was able to exchange my 6th Gen Airprt Extreme with another 6th Gen Extreme the other day. I set it up how the instructions told me and within an hour it did the exact same problem as the previous 6th Gen Extreme. I gave up and decided to get the ASUS RT-AC66R (ASUS RT-AC66U is the same, just the 'R' is Best Buy's model.)
    The ASUS router is just as great as the 6th Gen Router. You can actually get it down to $180 by price matching to Amazon. The ASUS router has 3 antennas that you can adjust according to where the signal is used more. I pointed them more towards the backyard, upstairs, and the living room. The range is by far better than the Extreme because of this. I was able to drive down a good block (3-4 houses down) and still connected to my router. Also it has 2 USB ports which was fantastic for me so I can plug in my external hard drive and a non-wireless printer. It has many more features that I really liked that I didn't even know was possible. The router utility interface is a bit confusing at first but, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
    Some features that I liked with the ASUS was the ability to have multiple guest network with time limits. 3 for 2.4gHz and 3 for 5gHz. I think that Airport guest accounts are only allowed 2.4gHz but not a 5gHz. Though I only needed 1 for each but, I can see this working well for businesses.
    Another feature is traffic manager. I am able to set specific bandwith for different types of use such as, high priority 80%-100% bandwith for gaming, medium priority badwith 70%-90% for HD media streaming/data transfer, and 50%-80% low bandwith for casual web surfing. It also has it's own "beamforming" so that data isn't free roamed.
    Lastly it has AiCloud sync which is basically like having a hard drive into your router but, much like having a Dropbox at the same time.
    More or less I think I'll stick with the ASUS router rather than going with the new Airport Extreme. I think that it's more on firmware issue than it is hardware. If you are not willing to switch to another brand and want to keep staying with Apple, I recommend going back to the 5th generation until a new firmware or rebuilt 6th gen extreme is out.
    I have not found any problem with the ASUS router and no intermittent connectivity issues.
    Now I am not trying to make you buy the ASUS router. I'm merely expressing how great the product is.
    I do have 60 days from Best Buy return policy to try out the ASUS (and report of any malfuntions) and if within that time a new firmware is out for the Extreme. I highly doubt I'll go back to the extreme though.
    Hope this helped!!

  • LaserJet Pro P1102w dropping connection

    I hope someone can help. We have been having a long term issue with our HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wifi printer keeping a stable connection to our network. It connects to our network via wifi. It is in a high signal wifi area of the office.
    In the printer network settings I have tried setting the printers IP as static and also tried it as dynamic being assigned by our DHCP server.
    The problem is the printer keeps randomly dropping connection in that we can no longer print to the printer / access the printers webpage or ping the printer. The problems is fixed by either powering down and restarting the printer or if you leave the printer after a period of time the printer will once again be contactable (by doing nothing).
    I have updated the printers firmware, computers printer drivers. Checked network settings but just cannot resolve the issue.
    It's driving me crazy!

    Thanks for the clarification Angus,
    Try disabling the Auto Off feature, this current configuration actually turns the printer Off after 5 minutes idle (Any key pressing will turn the printer On, but any remote command as printing or accessing the printer page will fail..
    You may enter the EWS by entering the printer IP through Safari.
    Enter the Settings tab.
    Select Print Settings and turn the Auto Off after as Never.
    Click Apply and reboot the device, then check for any change.
    Now reboot the device and check for any chnage,

  • Apple TV3 dropping connection from iTunes...

    Hi there,
    I've read a lot of issues on the same thing but I wonder if anyone is having the same issue as me.
    Thinking it was a hardware problem I secured a replacement from the store but I'm having the same issue.
    I have a PC, Windows 8
    BT Infinity (with their home hub, I'm UK based)
    My Apple TV is wired directly to the hub (I have also adjusted the settings to give the Apple static IP addresses, I've also tried it with automatic IP)
    If I boot everything up from scratch the Apple TV will play both music and my movies (both my DVD rips and those purchased from iTunes store and downloaded to the PC).
    However, let's say when I've done the above I decide to watch a movie that is on the PC, it works and I can watch the full film or even a TV program.  Then I decide I want to watch another film after viewing that one, that's when I get the spinning wheel.  The Apple TV will recognise my iTunes library and display the movies but unless I watch something on the cloud I cannot view what's on my PC hard drive.  Then after a bit the Apple is telling me to turn on home sharing.  It already is on and my PC has no sleep settings activated, I turned them all off so unless I power down nothing will enter sleep mode or even powersave.
    I then have to reboot the PC and open iTunes again.
    Like I mentioned I've taken the first one back for an exchange, the same problem persists.  I've also been on the phone to Apple who advised to power everything down for 5 minutes then turn the router back on followed by the Apple then the PC.  That worked, so I then left it for 5 minutes and then the problem happened again when I decided to watch a film that I put on my PC hard drive.  It seems that I have to choose what I want to do quickly but it wont work with further requests after something is played. 
    I am using the inbuilt virus checker that comes with Win 8 (Elements I think it's called) and I use Windows Firewall.  I have tried creating a rule to allow iTunes to connect out on the firewall settings but this did nothing.  I've tired automatic IP addresses and now trying static ones but again, no joy.  Bonjour has been uninstalled, reinstalled, opened up connections in the firewall, basically everything I've read on this issue I've done.
    I read somewhere about turning off the Dolby Stereo, and yes, you guessed it, nothing corrected it.
    Has anyone had this problem exactly and any idea how to overcome it.  Apple have suggested a clean reinstall of my PC, so I tried it, wiped everything and started again.  Nothing, so I tried it on my laptop which has Windows 7 and it seems it's not localised to just one specific version of Windows.
    Getting a bit fed up now! 
    As a last ditch attempt I also checked the serial number to see if it was an old unit that needed to be replaced but it's not.  Oh, and I have also tried wireless and wired.  That didn't change anything.
    One interesting thing though, when looking at the settings for the BT Home Hub and looking at devices, when I know the Apple TV is connected it's showing as not connected.  It appears as though it is dropping connection after it has perhaps synced the whole film from the PC.  I can't think of a way to force it to stay connected.
    Any suggestions?

    UPDATE
    This is now resolved, not with the use of the Homehub though.
    After another conversation with Apple they asked me if the Youtube app on the TV works, which it does then there's a problem elsewhere!  Therefore Apple think there's an issue with the hub or the home network.  They also asked me to try something on the hub called Port Forwarding.  However, because that the hub isn't an Apple product they are not allowed to advise me on tinkering with the settings.  But did suggest to Google a website called port forwarding. 
    Having a look at that I tried what it suggested by connecting to the BT Homehub, you guessed it, that didn't work either.  I called BT who advised that their technical help team that would deal with this has been disbanded and the person I spoke to gave me the port forwarding suggestion on Google.
    At this stage I had had enough and after reading a few more bits of feedback I then looked at replacing the hub with something I could buy myself.  This led me to Amazon where I purchased the ASUS RT-N56U and a modem to go with it.  I ripped out the hub and linked the modem to the line in the wall and the router to the modem, I had to bridge the router to the modem and after that was done I set up the wireless.
    I'm now very pleased to say that it works, everything is syncing as it should do and the speeds of my downloads have also increased.  So far no issues at all.  I also have a constant connection to the PC and can view as many films as I want that are downloaded to the PC.  No lagging, no problems at all.
    Bit of an expensive solution but the modem and router I bought can also replace a Virgin one should I change suppliers in the future.
    If you follow this solution and are doing it the same with BT just Google the username for the hubs as it's the same for everyone, you can get that username from the hub if you connect to it but if you're like me and didn't think of that all the solutions you can google.  I used the CD's that came with the items and I had it all set up and running in 5 minutes.  If you do purchase the RT-N56U don't forget you need a modem, as that bit I forgot about and then had to order that via Amazon as well.
    That's really all you need!

  • Issue with AFP server dropping connections on 10.8.5 server 2.2.2

    We are having issues with users getting dropped from their AFP server shares.
    These issues did not start happening until we upgraded to 10.8.5 and server 2.2.2
    the first symptoms were an occasional user would lose his / her active connection while copying files. They were unable to disconnect from the network shares without physically disconnecting the LAN or disabling the network on their system. Once the connection was removed they could reconnect to the network and establish their AFP shares again.
    However this his escalated to every user losing connections to their AFP shares at the same time.
    The server has no AFP error in the AFP error log however we are getting diskutil crash reports at around the same time. (See Below)
    The server has
    smalltree 1x6 8254 with latest drivers supporting a LACP bonded 6 pair connecting to an edgecore (LACP configured)switch.
    small tree 10Gb card directly connected to an edit station.
    onboard ethernet connected to switch in support of DHCP & DNS. (previous version of server would not see the bonded pair)
    Two Accusys A12S2's
    (we did not have this dropping connection issue before the upgrade to server 2.2.2 and OSX 10.8.5)
    Users connected to any network connection to the server appear to be affected when the AFP shares are disconnected. Direcet connect, onboard ethernet port and Bonded pair connections)
    diskutil verifies all shared drives appear to be ok. (All Green)

  • Trying to figure out cause of dropped connections...

    Hello, I have an Airport Extreme (a few years old) working with a MacBook Pro.
    I'm trying to figure out the cause of occasionally dropped connections. One interesting thing I noticed today was this: the wireless indicator on my MacBook pro (in the status bar) was off. Then, when I restarted the machine, it connected to my base station automatically.
    Does this mean that the base station has been fine all along and that maybe the card is flaky?
    The other piece of evidence I have is a MacBook running side by side with the MacBook pro, and once I saw the MBP connection drop while the MacBook's stayed intact.
    But the base station itself is a few years old and of course wi-fi is always subject to interference (especially in high rise apartment buildings). I recently changed the channel from 1 to 4 and seem to have had better success.
    My MBP connection has been fine using other hot spots (e.g. Starbucks).
    Is it worth trying to replace the base station and seeing what happens?

  • FiOS Quantum Gateway Router - Intermittent Dropped Connections

    I just got this router and incredibly disappointed!! I had the Arcotec.. Excuse my spelling and was having intermittent problems with that but this new a Gateway is herendous!!! I can't believe they charge you a 199 for this. Wifi signal lost constantly. Called tech support.. Now they want to charge me 75 bucks for an extender that they say will help.. Optimum looking better all the time!! Very frustrated.

    I am experiencing the exact same issue. My issue also started after i upgraded to their 50/50 plan and swapped out my Actiontech M42xxx for the Quantum Gateway Router. They had me do the following and i am still having the issue. 1. disconnect the coaxial cable and the power from the router2. Reset the fios box in my garage by unscrewing the battery power and removing the battery3. Replaced the router (Verizon did this and the replacement was another Quantum Gateway)4.

    Hi All, I upgraded my FiOS service a couple of weeks ago to the Quantum 50/50 service and bought the Quantum Gateway/router (model# FiOS-G1100). I used to use the Actiontec router (model# MI424WR, Rev. I). I've been having issues probably for months with intermittent or dropped connections on both wired and wireless connections. Fast forward to the beginning of December. I called tech support enough to the point of them sending a tech out to look at it. My ONT was old, and he replaced it. I had hoped that this was the issue, but it wasn't. The drop-offs continued. I again hoped the upgrade in service and router would also fix the issue. Nope... didn't. This 'latest, most powerful' router only has two lights on it, one for wireless signal and the other that looks like a globe. The router sits on my desk, so I can watch the lights.  While I am surfing around, the globe light will suddenly flash for about 5-10 seconds. While this is happening, my connection drops/stops, and then resumes a couple of seconds after the globe light stops blinking. I also noticed that the globe light will turn red once in a while, but not nearly as often as the blinking white does. It's not really consistent as to how long I can be online before the connection starts dropping. I haven't honestly watched it for a long period of time (in other words, I don't know if it's still doing it while I'm not at the computer). I just notice it while I'm trying to use the connection. Once the router starts disconnecting, it can happen as often as every few minutes. VERY annoying. My setup is:2 Mac laptops (one used wirelessly and one used wired connected to a display)1 Apple TV (wired)1 Apple Airport Express (wired)1 printer (wired) I don't have any cordless phones, powerline adapters, wifi extenders, or other electronics that might be messing with the signal. I use VPN software but haven't noticed a difference with it on or off (I think). Any thoughts as to what this might be or where to look? Thanks in advance.       I am still having the issue. there is obviously an issue and either Verizon knows about it and doesn't want to say they know there is an issue and fix it, or they are too dumb to take the time to find out. Each time i call i give them detailed information on the issue and ask them to check their knowledgebase if its listed as a know issue and they keep saying it's not. The issue happened again tonight, 1/8/15. at first my laptop dropped Internet connection while i was surfing. then i checked my other wi-fi devices and they all lost connection. i then went and checked my wired devices and they too lost connection. I look at the router and this time both the Globe Internet and the Wi-Fi lights were solid white. i looked at the Internet Ethernet light and the bottom light was green. I could have resolved the issue by unplugging the router and plug it in back, but instead i called Verizon so they could see the issue. 10 minutes into the Verizon call queue the Globe Internet light changed from solid white to solid red. 5 minutes later i finally got to speak to a tech. at first he said the box in my garage wasn't connecting to the router and asked me to disconnect the coaxial cable and the power and, according to him, he sent some command and instructed me to connect the coaxial cable and power the router back on. I did that and then the issue went away.I told him the rootcause of the issue was not identified and fixed and the issue would occur again and i needed him to alert engineering or product development about the issue. i then told him its a know issue with the router and he should do a google with "Verizon Quantum Gateway dropping connection" and he would see how many people are having the same issue. I told him Verizon need to take their heads out their A*%%%$ and spend some time and investigate and resolve the issue. Me

  • Firefox 3.5 and up randomly drop connections

    Greetings! The problem I'm having is: Every time I've tried to install and use Firefox 3.5 and up, as I'm browsing the web and I go to, say, click on a link, Firefox will randomly "drop" the connection. It'll pause for 10-15 seconds, then pop up a generic "cannot find server" message. I then go to reload the page, and for another 10-15 seconds it won't even attempt a connection -- it'll just instant-reload with the same generic "cannot find server" message. After that, it will mysteriously be able to connect just fine... for about 2-5 minutes. The problem repeats... over and over...
    I should mention that I constantly have a "ping www.rr.com" window open in the background, and even when Firefox is "unable to connect", the ping window shows my connection is just fine. All of my other programs are able to connect just fine as well -- only Firefox 3.5+ or programs based off of Firefox 3.5+ (SeaMonkey 2.x) have this problem.
    Thinking it might be an addon problem, I've completely uninstalled (even using Revo Uninstaller) and reinstalled Firefox 3.5+, and even with absolutely no extensions installed, it still randomly drops connections.
    This problem also happens on my netbook PC, again with a fresh Firefox install (even on a fresh Windows format + install) and a solid ISP connection.
    I can confirm encountering this problem with Firefox 3.5.4, 3.5.5, 3.6.6, and even with SeaMonkey 2.0.3 and 2.0.5. On the other hand, Firefox versions 2.0.0.20 and SeaMonkey 1.1.18 are NOT affected by this problem.
    I hope this problem can be resolved soon, since sites like Youtube are starting to really dislike Firefox 2.0, and I'd like to use up-to-date browser extensions. :(
