SG 200-08P config and firmware

Hi,
we just got 10 new devices with the actual fw 1.0.6.2.
Two problems were coming up ...
First: user and password ... The other SG 200 switches allow password with special characters like !? ... the SG 200-08 does not! That is not very helpful.
And we would like to have this fixed.
Second: After configuation of VLANs along with CDP an Cisco Phones we always had to restart the device to be sure the configuation change was applied. Otherwiese we were hunting problems that did not really exist. May be this could be fixed in a new version of the firmware, too.
Thanks ;-)

Thanks for the info. I was working off another post where someone laid claim to installing the 1.3.x firmware on their sg200 to enable SNMP protocols for Spiceworks Management software.
Does this mean there is no SNMP options for the SG200-08P switches?

SG 200-08p Wont upgrade firmware

I have a fleet of the SG-200-08P switches which are way behind on firmware. I went to upgrade them to the newest firmware available:
     "sx200_fw_1.3.7.18.ros"
After about a 5-7 minute wait, the web interface returned the message (tired multiple times):
     "Firmware Image download through HTTP failed. Wrong File Type."
I reset the router, same results. I went and installed the second most recent verson, "SG200-08x_FW_1.0.7.4.stk", which installed without any issues. Then tried the "sx200_fw_1.3.7.18.ros" file and again with the same result:
     "Firmware Image download through HTTP failed. Wrong File Type."
I then did a factory reset and tried again, same results. It seems that none of my routers want to use the .ros files, it preferes the .stk files. What am I doing wrong?
I'm accessing the upgrade feature via "Main Menu -> Administration -> Upgrade/Backup firmware" and have it set to:
X - via Http
X - Upgrade
X - Firmware image
Please HELP!!!

SG 200-08P - connecting PCs and Phones

Hello,
we have a serious problem over here with some new SG 200-08P switches firmware: 1.0.6.2
They are setup behind 2 SG-200 50 layer 2 switches - actual firmware 1.3.2.02.
We have 4 VLANs: 1 for DATA and 2 for PHONE, 10 fpr MGMNT and 20 for GUESTS - on the 08-P only VLAN 1+2 is needed. CDR protocoll is active.
Ports 1-7 on the 08-P is setup as "Trunk, 1U, 2T", parameter: Auto Negotiation ON. We tried FlowControl ON and OF - makes no difference. Port 8 is setup as "Trunk, 1U, 2T, 10T" to the floor switch. The connecting port on the floor switch SG-200 50-switch ist setup as "Trunk, 1U, 2T, 10T".
One of the problem switches: on port 1-4 of the 08-P there are connected 4 Cisco 6921 phones . On Port 5-7 there are connected 1 HP Z400 and 2 Elite 7200 PCs. One of the 6921 phones is switching to a DELL Latitude 6420 laptop.
So it happens every morning, that the first staring PC ist working fine, then the switch has to be switched off and on to get the next PCs connected to the network. The switching 6921 phone does not connect at all. But after some more switching off/on it works.
We thried another 08-P hardware with the same config, we tried an older firmware level ... we setup the PoE-phone ports as GENERAL 1U, 2T. We gave external power to the phones so that PoE is not overloaded ... nothing helps. Only some switching off/on helps and the PC gets its IP address from DHCP and the phones all come up an find the CU 6000.
Is there someone outside who may give a helping hand on this?
Thanks so far...

Hi Jens-Peter,
I would try disabling smartports and green ethernet on the SG200 switches. Then you will need to hardcode each of the ports to have the necessary settings. Often times when a reboot is required to restore functionality smartports is the cause.
As for the 6921 phones, you need to be sure to have auto voice vlan enabled. Otherwise the phones will not be able to pick up the correct VLAN via CDP. Let me know, if you have any questions.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

PoE does no work for my SG 200-08P ?

Hi,
I've bought two SG 200-08P which have their 1-4 ports who can delivered PoE.
Whatever the PoE equipments I plug into those ports, it doesn't work.
If I plug a non PoE equipment in the 1-8 ports it's working fine.
I can log into the web interface of the switch, and when I go to "Port Management > PoE > Properties", I can see the following screen:
I don't know how switch the "Power" option to "On"...
I have the exactly same issue with a second and new SG 200-08P.
I've changed the firmware and I am now in the 1.0.6.2 version but I have the problem with the original version.
I also try to reset the switch several times, but it doesn't change anything.
Is anyone has a idea to what can I do or test ?
Thanks.

Hi Tom,
For now, I only try to connect differents Siemens IP phones (1 or 2 or 3 PoE classes) : OpenStage 20,
OpenStage 40 and OpenStage 60.
Those Siemens phones are working fine with other PoE switches like linksys, HP, catalyst, 300 series, Netgear ...
I've just noticed something interesting, in the "Status and Statistics > View Log > RAM Memory" menu :
When I clear the logs, only my computer is connected on port 8...
I'll try to find other PoE devices, to test with.
Regards.

SG 200-08P

Do you know what the applications of the following may be?
We are using a Cisco smart switch (model # SG 200-08P) and pinging the WK2 to check for Ethernet communication. When “DHCP auto configuration” is enabled the Cisco switch generates a consistant TFTP read request:
Opcode: Read Request (1)
Source File: fp-net.cfg
Type: octet
This subsequently locks up the WK2 for a few seconds at a time and disables Ethernet communication. If the “DHCP auto configuration” is disabled on the Cisco switch, then there are no problems.
Test Results:
DHCP Auto Config Enabled:
6ft/Direct PCB – Fail
100m/Direct PCB –Fail
6ft/ Jumper –Fail
100m/ Jumper –Fail
DHCP Auto Config Disabled:
6ft/Direct PCB – Pass
100m/Direct PCB –Pass
6ft/ Jumper –Pass
100m/ Jumper –Pass

Hi Jens-Peter,
I would try disabling smartports and green ethernet on the SG200 switches. Then you will need to hardcode each of the ports to have the necessary settings. Often times when a reboot is required to restore functionality smartports is the cause.
As for the 6921 phones, you need to be sure to have auto voice vlan enabled. Otherwise the phones will not be able to pick up the correct VLAN via CDP. Let me know, if you have any questions.

SG 200-08P Secure lockdown question/s

I have an SG 200-08P. I need to restrict access to the web interface for security. Unfortunately I have found this nearly impossible.
- Is there any way to restrict access to HTTPS? Seems simple but I haven't found a method of doing so. IIRC this is required for compliance with some security standards.
- How can I set the switch to only allow management from a single port (it seems like this is an option but I haven't figured out how). Every time I try to set up a VLAN for administration the switch ends up locking out all connections or something similar and I have to reset it.
- As far as I can tell the 'cisco' user can not be deleted, disabled, or removed from administration under any circumstances. Is that really correct? Seems like a horrific security hole to me.
Thanks in advance for your time.

I finally got things configured so only one phisical port can be used for administration.
I am still not happy with Cisco for disallowing the re-naming of the default user and especially for leaving HTTP open no matter what.

RAID Driver and Firmware updates?

In my continuing "learing activities"
I found that when Vista SP1 installed the RAID Drivers were V6.xxxx from sometime back in 2007
I found V 8.7.0.1007 of the RAID drivers on the intel site.
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filter_results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=2101&OSFullName=Windows+V...
After I installed them I did get a nice GUI manager program showing all the drives and staus and so on and
at boot up a item shows up on the task bar for a short time indicating RAID status... then the icon disappears again...Anyway...
On to my real question... Lenovo offically has the drivers at 7.6.xxx
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-69823
These would match my (as-delivered) RAID firmware level which is also at 7.6.xxx
I recall times when miss-matched firmware vs. driver levels can cause issues on IBM server machines.
I'm wondering if that is the case here, and if so I can not see a place to download the FIRMWARE upgrades....???
I was miss-matched before with s/w level 6.x and firmware 7.x now I'm still miss-matched...
Wondering if I should drop back to Lenovo V7.6 software drivers so that I AM matched up...
(This is still a "test" config so no harm done in any event ... I'm just playing....)
Thanks,
Jim

A valid drivefrom an array IS recognized if plugged into a different port on the motherboard
a rebuild is automatically kicked off.
if the drive rebuilds when moved then the system is assuming a failure.   afaik, drives cannot move ports without the system assuming something has failed, even if the drive itself is healthy.
yes, it did kick off a rebuild, I was just a bit surprised that it recognized it as HD member of the array since somewhere in the docs I read that the SAME port must be used when replacing a drive ... I had just "assumed" (yeah, I know about the "assume" word   ;-) ....) that the manager was doing it's thing JUST based on port assignments -- I guess there is a RAID signature on the actual drive somewhere...
The SATA port numbers on the motherboard do NOT correspond to the numbers reported in the RAID manager s/w. Motherboard numbering starts @ 1 while RAID mgr starts at 0.
socket 0 is the FDD socket.   i believe the RAID manager starts the first drive of the first array at 0 regardless of which sockets the array populates.
Hmmmmmmm that's not what I'm seeing .. I have a "regular" 34-pin cable connection on the MB for the FDD... which I am not using.. as I have the mult-card reader. I plugged my 2 optical drives into the two SATA ports on the front edge of the MB ( labeled #1 & #2) then plugged my two 1TB drives into MB ports 3 and 4 (which I have in a RAID1) and have the 250GB drive on MB port #5 with #6 being empty.
The RAID Mgr s/w reports that ports 0 & 1 are optical, ports 2 & 3 are used for the RAID1 port 4 is the 250Gb and 5 is unused. Not a big deal ... just not what I expected.
Since there is no easy way to tell which drive in an array has failed (no blinking LEDs like on the big server boxes) one needs to be careful to swap the correct drive in the event of a failure....
that's a feature i'd like to see in future models.   some sort of visual (and audible, for that matter) indication of drive status using simple red and green LEDs would be great.
in my case, without the LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager software, i'd have no idea what any of my five SAS drives were doing.   i found it on LSI's site purely by dumb luck. in the event of a drive failure, it's set up to show a visual warning on the screen, email my personal account, and send a message to my blackberry.   if something happens, i'll definitely know about it.

Hi. I have a configuration whereby I use a SG-200-08P to power a SG-200-08 (no PSU connected) which in turn is connected to another SG-200-08 that is powered via PSU. It seemed to work but recently I've been getting connectivity issues. The Ethernet cable from the non PSU powered SG-200-08 to the PSU powered SG-200-08 is 100m. Are there any ways to configure these switches in order to resolve the connectiviy issues? Thanks.

Tom, many thanks for the response. I definitely think it's a power issue as the connection to my laptop keeps trying to connect/identify for a few seconds, then stops, then trys again/again and 100m is quite a long run from a switch that's powered by POE. Configuration is as follows:-
Router -->>--SG-200-08P -->>-- 100m -->>-- SG-200-08 (no PSU) -->>-- 100m -->>-- SG-200-08 (with PSU) -->>-- Laptop
My first thoughts were to attach the PSU to the SG-200-08 in the middle that's running off POE at present. Although because a power source isn't easily available there I was hoping I could perhaps divert more power to the port in the SG-200-08P that's powering the SG-200-08. Thanks. Guy

Zen Nano Plus - Connection Problems and Firmware Upgrade probl

Like many others posting on this forum, for a while I had problems trying to get my GB Zen Nano Plus to be recognized by the .0.03 Firmware Update software.
I eventually got it by doing this:
While the Firmware Update software was "Searching" for a device, I kept on unplugging and plugging in the Zen Nano Plus from the USB cable while holding down the Play button, unti it "caught". I tried this since I noticed it would initially see the unit saying "A device has been detected in recovery mode...", but then throw the unit into "non-recovery" mode and hence force the Firmware Update software to keep on searching.
Anyhoo, after it did finally "catch" it (after about 0 times unplugging/plugging while holding the Play button down), it showed my firmware as .03.02, and so I did the upgrade to .0.03. The upgrade said "Complete". I then take the unit off of USB, and put my battery back in. and. uhm. well. Now it won't turn on at all. *sigh*
So there I go again in the "unplug-plug" loop on trying to get the older .03.02. Finally caught after about 30 times (yes my hands are tired). And after downgrading to .03.02, putting the battery back in, the unit turns on fine.. WHEW.
So, beware to everyone. Not sure if I'd trust the .0.03 Firmware. Doesnt seem to work on my Zen Nano Plus, and I JUST bought the thing from Circuit City about a week ago.
And for those of you having problems getting the Firmware Upgrade to work.. try my (tiring) method.
I tried this on my Dell D600 laptop (actually used the USB ports on the docking station).

With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
-->PCI Bus
You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.

Firefox will open 4 or 5 tabs fine, but then will not load any further websites after those first 4 or 5, or allow you to refresh one of those first tabs -- including about:config and the addon page

Firefox 5 worked fine. I installed Firefox 7, and when I ran it, tabs would just say "connecting to..." and hang. Restarting did not help. Websites open fine in IE and Chrome. Disabled all firewalls and antivirus, did not help. Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox 5, everything worked fine again. This was using Vista 64-bit.
Upgraded to Windows 7, uninstalled Firefox 5, installed Firefox 7, had same problem. Uninstalled Firefox 7 completely (including the profile information, I saved that information in another folder), restarted computer, and installed Firefox 7 using a completely clean profile. Did not install any add-ons, checked to make sure all plug-ins were up-to-date, and updated plugins.
Now when I start Firefox, I can load 3 or 4 or 5 tabs fine -- after those first few tabs are open, I cannot open or refresh any other tabs -- including about:config and the add-on manager -- I have to restart Firefox. The hangup doesn't appear to be related to what websites I am attempting to open, but it looks like the number is the problem. I have run through all of the FAQ procedures, including changing the max number of network connections to 48, and the problem does not seem to go away.
As a side note, I had this same problem when I tried to go from version 5 to version 6 as well. Version 5 is the most recent version that worked on my system.

Can you try Aurora - download it from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/
And let us know how it works.

HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

Hi,
I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date. All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue. If that doesn't work, let me know.
I am a printer tech for HP.

Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware

Hiya,
I recently bought a new Macbook Pro,it is Mac OS X version 10.4.8, i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)?
I also tried to install MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2, however it says the computer doesn't need to install it. And I checked my Boot ROM Version is MBP22.00A5.B00. After the update it should be: MBP11.0055.B08 (MacBook Pro 15 inch). So I don't know what to do?
please help!
Thanks.
Catherine

"Do I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel) and firmware"
You don't "need" to install anything. If you think you can benefit from the updates then go ahead.
"i am just wondering whether I need to install Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (Intel)? "
If it came with 10.4.8 preinstalled, then you do not need to install it.
"So I don't know what to do?"
Nothing. If it says the update isn't needed, then it's already been applied at the factory.

Document management system configs and status

Can anybody tell me the configs and flow of document status and document version in DMS....
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Document Versioning in DMS can be controlled as per the following selection criteria,
Value Description
0 No version numbers
1 Numeric version numbers 00 .. 99
2 Numeric version numbers 01 .. 99
3 Alphanumeric numbers A0 .. Z9
4 Alphanumeric numbers A1 .. Z9
5 Alphanumeric numbers AA .. ZZ
6 AA .. AZ,A0 .. A9;BA .. Z9
7 as 6, but without 0
8 _A .. Z ; AA .. Z9
9 as 5, but 00 allowed
A as 6, but 00 allowed
for USER-EXIT
in dc10, the number which u select automatically controls the version each time you create a document under same document number/doc type/doc part.
if you need to create a document under user-defined version or manually entered number then you can choose ur version which lies between the range selected.
There is no such unlock status displayed on Document info record (DIR).
beside document status you can see something called as "Not Released" indicator in red colour.
the document status changes from "Not Released" to "Released" once the status is set in which setting is done.
for configuration,
dc10>select doc type>click on define document status-->create new statuses if required/double click on the final status (say Released) and set the status "Release Flag".
under "Status type set to 'S' locked status".
save and create a document.
prior you need to set the status network using system defined statuses or even you can create your own user defined statuses.
once the status is set to Released, automatically document will set to Released along with the release date and also it will get locked so dat it cannot be further edited by anyone.
Thank You,
Manoj

HP printer and Firefox 4.0.1 not talking....prints from Explorer fine..help, I have reset the printer in config and updated all plugins...still not working. I want to use firefox but can't if I can not get this issue solved.

I have tried the obvious....CP and made sure the correct printer was selected and it wasn't set to print to file. I then did the about:config and reset the printer. I have also updated all the plugins with none of the solutions working.
