Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well. 
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub  is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation  has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a  Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
 Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm  really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in  what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

    i am seeing alot of sync issues lately, the forced windows security update last week looks like it might be the culprit. reinstalling DTM has fixed it for a couple PCs for me. just thinking if you are goign to uninstall 4.3, might as well upgrade on the install.

  • Outlook 2010 IMAP connection problem and not work with TLS enabled

    Dear all,
    Need your help.  5 users of my customer Outlook 2010 suddenly popped error message "Your IMAP server closed the connection".  We checked that there is no problem in IMAP connection in Exchange 2007 server (SP3) (we tested with setup new
    account in another Outlook and able to connect, send and receive email).  
    We are able to workaround the problem of that 5 users by disabling TLS in account setting for SMTP to Exchange.  The users can then connect and able to send and receive. (however, in our testing above, there is no problem with TLS).
    Could you help to enlighten me what may be the cause of this situation?  
    Best Regards,
    Rayson Wong 

    Hi,
    Please click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Select the IMAP account and click
    Change > More Settings button > Advanced tab, and then adjust the
    Server Timeouts slider bar to a longer time to check the result.
    Also make sure the SMTP server port number is set correctly.
    Please let me know the result.

  • N95 8BG "WiFi Connection problems" and "Web: no ga...

    Like many users, I could not get my new Nokia (N95 8GB) to work with my WiFi. After many attempts, using the various ideas posted, I came up with a solution that works reliably for me.
    First lets deal with "WiFi Connection problems"
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Wireless LAN
    'Show WLAN availability' = 'Yes'
    'Scan for networks' = 'Every 5 minutes'
    Some users have suggested choosing 'Advanced Settings' from the 'Options' menu, changing 'Automatic configuration' to 'Disabled' and the either setting 'RTS threshold' to '2346', or setting 'Power saving' to 'Disabled'. I tried both of these but they did not make any difference in my case. However they may make a difference for you, hence their inclusion here.
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Access Points
    Choose 'New access point' from the 'Options' menu
    'Data bearer' = 'Wireless LAN'
    'WLAN network name' = If your network is set to broadcast its SSID, use 'Search for networks' then select your network from the list, otherwise use 'Enter manually' and type in the SSID.
    'Connection name' = anything you like, but I use the SSID
    'Network status' = not sure about this maybe someone can confirm, but I think if the SSID is broadcast then it is 'public', otherwise it is 'private'.
    'WLAN network mode' = match this to your access point configuration. Mine is set to 'Infrastructure', so I do not cover the ad-hoc scenario here.
    'WLAN security mode' = again I am using WEP so have not covered other scenarios.
    'WLAN security settings' = these should match you access point configuration.
    'Homepage' = whatever you like. I use 'http://www.google.co.uk', just so that when I start browsing I get something reliable, useful, and dependable. If Google fails to appear it usually means there is something wrong with your config.
    Now lets handle the dreaded "Web: no gateway reply"
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Access Points
    Scroll down to highlight the new access point and choose 'Edit' from the 'Options' menu. Now choose 'Advanced settings' from the 'Options' menu.
    Assuming you network used IPv4, which most do in my experience, select 'IPv4 settings'. I don't know about IPv6, and don't use a proxy so these are not covered.
    The values you enter in 'IPv4 settings', depend upon your network/router settings, and whether you have a DHCP server or not.
    Assume your a router IP Address, on the LAN side, is 192.168.0.1, and that it has a DHCP server set to serve addresses in the range 192.168.0.64 to 192.168.0.192, using subnet 255,255,255,0. Since the mobile does not seem able to get an IP Address from the DHCP server we give it a static address 192.168.0.55. Notice this is outside the range sereved by te DHCP server to avoid conflicts.
    We end up with:
    'Phone IP address = '192.168.0.55'
    'Subnet mask' = '255,255,255,0'
    'Default gateway' = '192.168.0.1'
    'DNS address' = 'user defined'
    'Primary DNS address' = '192.168.0.1'
    'Secondary DNS address' = '0.0.0.0'
    I used something similar and was at last able to browse the web via wifi.
    I hope all of the above helps someone out there.

    I have just experienced this problem having been using the WiFi network for months without problems. I tries all the suggestions on these forums including the power settings, turning off WEP, and the fixed IP suggestion and none worked. I even reinstalled the firmware and reconfigured everything. It turned out to be the router. I had rebooted it several times to no effect but the DHCP always gave the N95 the same IP address lease. So I changed the range of IP addresses the DHCP could lease and restarted the N95. It got a new IP and was back working again.
    If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

  • Email password problems and phone help so usless.

    So fed up with BT.
    Last week I was forced to change my password over and over and over and over.
    'We've detected some unusual activity on your email account.......'
    Which everyone on this forum knows is rubbish, and is just some glitch that BT cannot sort out. Its been going on for years.
    The fall out from this is that although I can now recive mail I cannot send it in Windows Live mail.
    BT operator tells me they have no training for Windows Live Mail and cannot help me. Thats it apparently, I've got to like it or lump it. Thanks BT.
    Isn't Windows Live Mail one of the most popular email programs out there?

  • Connection problems between desktop and Palm

    I used to be able to HotSync with my computer, but it stopped working. I thought it might be the cable, but I have gotten a new one and the connection is still not established when I try to HotSync. The computer doesn't seem to be recognizing the Palm cable as a Hardware device. I've trying all the trouble-shooting ideas from the Palm website, but I haven't figured it out. Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have not been able to back up my Palm in a couple months.
    Post relates to: Palm m515

    defenitely a device driver conflict.
    did you try Soft Reset you Palm?
    1. make sure your hotsync manager is running (it's the red & blue circle arrow down in your system tray where the clock is)
    2. Right click on hotsync mgr and  make sure the Local USB and Local or if you see a Local Serial option has check next to them
    3. Try closing down your hotsync manager by right click on it and select Exit and then re-enable it again by going into Start > Programs > Palm > Hotsnc Manager and try hotsyncing..
    When following the steps below - Did your system detect your hardware???
    For XP, right click on My Computer and select Manage.
    On top menu click on View and select "Show hidden devices".
    Turn off your Palm.
    Disconnect & re-connect your USB cable from your Palm to PC.
    Turn ON your Palm and do a hotsync. (keep on eye on your device manager)
    If the Palm Handheld appears, click the + sign to expand.
    Right click on The Palm Handheld and select properties.
    Click on Driver tab and click on Uninstall. (If you see more than 1 palm handheld device driver uninstall them, I have seen this in Windows 2000)
    Perform a hotsync and let your system detect the new hardware.
    if not you will need to uninstall Palm Desktop software and clean up your registry and backup your data.. let me know I will email you the steps..

  • ITunes Store Connection Problem and R6025 Error

    I have a problem with iTunes (v 7.6.2.9) on my desktop machine that I haven't been able to resolve. The same version works without problem on my laptop, both are fully up-to-date XP SP3 installs with no iTunes add-ons.
    iTunes starts correctly, but then does one of three things:
    1) It hangs during connection to the Store, with the bargraph almost at the end of the travel.
    2) It brings up the Store page, but although I can move the cursor around to click the Store links, nothing happens. Eventually the 'Accessing iTunes Store' bargraph may appear but it never connects.
    In both of these two instance, no error messages appear, the Store simply locks up. I can still use iTunes perfectly as a player, access my library etc. However, I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to close the iTunes process from the Task Manager.
    3) As per (2), but about five seconds after the Store appears, an error box pops up:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Programe: C:\Programe Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6025 Pure Virtual Function Call
    Pressing OK closes iTunes.
    I've done all the obvious things - removed and reinstalled, cleaned out registry errors using jv16 Powertools 2008, I've even used Process Explorer to examine all the dlls in use with iTunes and compared the version numbers to the correctly working version on the laptop - they're all the same. I've also run a low-level memory error checker, but it passed with flying colours.
    So I'm a bit stumped to know how to take this any further. I know other people have had R6025 problems in the past, but they seem to have generally been resolved by installing a later version of the application... which isn't much use to me, as I'm on the latest already. Incidentally, I did try going back one version to 7.6.1, but that behaved in exactly the same way.
    If anyone has any ideas about how to troubleshoot this sort of problem, I'd be very interested. I'm assuming that I have another application conflicting with iTunes, but I've no idea how to find it.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Yay! I've found the culprit...
    For historical reasons, I still maintain my old Compuserve 3 account as my public e-mail address. Part of the CS3 installation is a Remote Password Authentication system called Virtual Key. I noticed that these dlls were being invoked during Store connection attempts, which I thought was a little odd.
    I deleted the following files from Windows/System32: (annotations courtesy of the Compuserve info text file for Virtual Key)
    RPA.DLL - The dynamic link library that implements the RPA protocol for Virtual Key.
    RPACFG.DLL - The dynamic link library that implements the Virtual Key accounts wizard API and other configuration APIs.
    RPAWINET.DLL - The dynamic link library that is required to enable Virtual Key for Internet Explorer, version 3.0.
    RPASSPC.DLL - The dynamic link library that is required to enable Virtual Key for the Internet Mail client and other non-web clients.
    RPAEDIT.EXE - An editor application for editing Virtual key Accounts as well as viewing and deleting sites from the Virtual Key Site List that is created by Virtual Key when accessing secure sites.
    RPAUI.HLP - Help for Virtual Key features.
    VKUNINST.DLL - An uninstaller program for Virtual Key.
    RPAINFO.TXT - This file.
    As I only access Compuserve through the proprietary CS3 front end, removing Virtual Key has had no impact on my Compuserve mail system and iTunes is now working perfectly.

  • I have a big problem and need help.

    I was trying to delete some files when I got a message that said that one of the files contained a program that was running. I close out the program and deleted the file but something happened. I closed out Windows Explorer and notices all my desktop and taskbar icons were gone and replaced by the Adobe Reader icon. I tried to run Google Chrome and it tried to open it with Adobe Reader. I then deleted Adobe Reader to see it that would fix the problem it didnt. Instead when I tried to run Google Chrome the second time it pulled up a window telling me to choose a program to open it with. I'm stuck and dont know what to do. The only program I can open is Windows Explorer now. PLEASE HELP!!!

  • USB connection problems... help??

    Ok, i have no idea what the **** is wrong with my Ipod.. I connect it to the USB wire and it lights up, but it refuses to connect to Itunes, nor does it wish to synchronise any of the songs/videos/pictures/etc and its stubborn arse also refuses to charge up.
    I know for a fact its connected since my PC tells me so (this USB device would work faster in a 2.0 Hub) ~ I got that in the past, ive had my Ipod for quite some time now, almost a year i'd say... and this is the only problem i've ever had with it but its starting to irritate me now..
    I'm not too sure if this may be the problem as I was recently deleting unused hardware from my PC and may have accidentally removed a software that my Ipod needed to connect to Itunes, but on saying that, i downloaded the new Itunes 8 as I assumed any missing hardware etc would be replaced/added back in, and in turn, would re-connect the Ipod.. and still, nothing..
    so im not sure if its something ive removed by accident, or if its something else (reading some of the topics/threads i see some are having similar problems so im not entirely sure if its my fault, or itunes8).
    Any help anyone can give me would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thankyou all in advance,

    If you have a Push email account (such as Mobile ME, Exchange or Yahoo) go into Settings/mail,contacts,calendar, tap on the account, and switch it OFF. Then press home. Reboot (Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). After it finishes booting go back to settings and turn that account back ON. Note that your are turning the ACCOUNT off, not turning PUSH off.
