10.4.8 connect to XP Pro (SP2) problem error-50

I hit cmd-K in Finder, entered smb://ip.ip.ip.ip. After awhile, a box pops up telling me "unexpected error occured -50" (or something like that, its in Chinese). It used to work fine before I resinstalled the PC. I am quite sure I've covered all the basics, such as turning off encryption in XP's security settings.
Any idea would be very much appreciated.
iBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.8
Thanks

Hmmm, can't be sure, but if that's an Apple Error#, that's "-50 paramErr Error in user parameter list", which generally means an illegal character in a Filename or such... or spaces, etc.
But it may be an SMB or other error, dunno!

Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

Cannot connect to XE after following "How To" Windows XP Pro SP2

Hi Sharon and everyone,
I have read all related posts, the how-to and tried many times including restarting XE but still cannot connect using SQL Developer. I already have a small schema created using ths SQL Window of XE and can connect using "Toolkit for Oracle" (though this behaves erratically and I don't like it so far). I have succesfully connected also using the XE ODBC Driver from MS Access and INSERTED Rows in a table in the Schema.
I want to use SQL Developer but I get the following message when trying to connect (this PC is Server and Client) :
"Status : Failure -Listener refused the connection with the following error:ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not know of SID given in connect descriptorThe Connection decriptor used by the client was:127.0.0.1:1521:xe"
Inputs used :
Username : system
Password : *******
Basic Tab :
Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port: 1521
SID: XE
TNS TAB:
Network Alias: "XE" (this is the default and there is no mention in the How-To of overriding it at all ! )
If I change the Network Alias to "EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA" or "ORACLR_CONNECTION_DATA" I get the same message.
If I try using "Service Name" instead of "SID" I get a similar message but with "does not currently know of service requested". ( All 3 Network Alias values tried)
Please can you help me ?

Hallo Sue,
Thanks for a prompt reply. It helps to know that the Basic and TNS (and I presume also the "Advanced") Tabs are mutually exclusive.
This does not however solve my problem as when I enter the SID "XE" in the Basic Tab I get the error :
"Status : Failure -E/A Exception :Connection reset" the first time I click on "Test".
If I then click on "Test" a second time I get "Status : Failure -E/A Exception :Connection reset by peer: socket write error "
The 3rd time I get :
"Status : Failure -E/A Exception :Connection reset" the first time I click on "Test".
The 4th time I get :
"Status : Failure -Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptorThe Connection descriptor used by the client was:127.0.0.1:1521:xe"
If I check using lsnrctl status the listener is listening on port 1521 (protocol=tcp, host = swisspair2).
A further problem I have had since installing XE which may be related to this problem is that I cannot start the Database Home Page (despite reading all threads similar on the XE Forum I can't resolve this either). The error I get when trying to start the Database Home Page is "The connection was refused when trying to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080"
Could you suggest any problems that I may have on this "Server/Client" PC (Windows XP Professional SP2)

IPod, iTunes, and Windows XP Pro SP2

I recently upgraded my computer from running Windows XP Pro (no service packs installed) to running Windows XP Pro SP1a, and now SP2.
While running SP1a, I connected my iPod (5th Generation video, 30GB model) to my computer, but it didn't appear in My Computer, nor iTunes. It was recognized by Windows, as noted by the "Safely Remove Hardware" option, as well as my normal "
"HI-SPEED in non-HI-SPEED" warning (my computer is running USB 1.1). I've also tried all four ports, and all four gave me the same response.
I tried connecting it again once I installed SP2, and again, same problems arose. I began trying to troubleshoot it by doing the Right Click on My Computer -> Manage -> Start/Stop iPod Service thing, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, repairing iTunes, using the CD I got with my iPod... nothing worked, and it's still only be recognized but basically unusuable.
The iPod displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message, and shows signs of being charged, so I know it can't be anything wrong with the connection. I've also connected it to my school laptop (running XP Pro SP2, USB 2.0 connection) and it worked perfectly fine, showed up in My Computer and everything.
I've even run iTunes, gone to Help menu -> Run Diagnostics -> iPod Diagnostics, and 3 of the 4 "lights" are green; the last one, "iPod Connection Status" is red. And that, of course, tells me nothing about why my iPod won't be recognized otherwise.
I've come to the conclusion that, under SP2, you can't use USB 1.1 but that makes absolutely no sense at all... could anyone help me out and give me any ideas as to whether or not that is true, or else what might be causing the problem?
Thanks so much in advance!

Just tossing in my experience quickly:
Ever since I "upgraded" to v7 of iTunes, my iPod (60G w/Video) hasn't been recognized, same as Rebecca. Also my TransFlash memory cards aren't recognized, either. I went through many steps listed in these forums, to no avail; I even did a repair install of Windows. I have noticed in my Device Manager the following: a yellow exclamation point beside "parport" and "serial". (Right-click "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices) For both of these entries, under their properties, it says this: "This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)" I haven't found much info surfing the net as of yet... I hope this info helps a bit. Don't mean to hijack, here, either. But in my opinion the new iTunes upgrade corrupts the windows registry somehow, as this story of mine seems to be quite prevalent...

Apple Mobile Device Support fails to install on Windows XP Pro SP2

I have a dualboot between my Vista and my XP, my itunes on Vista works great and can connect with my ipod touch (2.1) but on my XP the installation of AMDS fails. Tried completly re-installing all services, i searched the internet for possible solutions but it seems i'm the only one having problems with windows XP, all the other similar problems are on Vista.
I know it's AMDS that fails because i unpacked the .exe file and ran all the installers one by one, they all work except AMDS (i get a rollback feature). I downloaded it with 3 different browsers from the official apple site and to eliminate that it's my hard drive that gives errors i also did a CHKDSK.
Also, it's not my ipod either, it can connect to my Vista and other computers with windows XP.
All the latest drivers are installed and during the installation no CD/USB was inserted except my mouse, i even tried it with the CD tray open (sometimes helps). Safe mode also doesn't work
I have no idea what's wrong. Could anyone help me out?

Hi,
good news: You're not the only one with this problem. Bad news: I don't have a solution either. To restrict possible answers here is what I did so far:
- computer was set up brand new with Windows XP Pro SP2
- iTunes installed, AMDS didn't, everything deleted after this, nothing (no iTunes, no Quicktime, no Apple updater) left on computer
- disconnected laptop from network, switched off firewall, switched off virus scan
- ran install package for AMDS only, as Johan described, install won't finish, files are first copied then everything gets rolled back (and no log found). This means the service is not existing, so the problem is NOT solved by going into services and switch it on ...
ANYONE PLEEEASE?
Cheers & thanks

Hi Nikolay!
Have you installed the VPC Additions after setting up Windows? I believe you can insert your VPC CD and install them on the Windows side through the D: drive.

WRT350N + WMP300N = BSOD Crash on Win XP Pro SP2?

Yes, the problem I am having is that with WRT350N + Wireless + WMP300N = BSOD Crash on Win XP Pro SP2.   Really, from what I can tell, WRT350N + Wireless = BSOD Crash on Win XP Pro SP2.   Yes, I know, a router shouldn't be able to crash a computer, PC drivers, PC misconfigurations do.
However, my crashes didn't start happening until I switched to my WRT350N wireless router. Actually, at that time I didn't even have the linksys WMP300N ... it was another wireless card. Now I have the linksys WMP300N, and the crashes still happen.
I updated my driver on my NIC to the latest version two days ago, and at the same time upgraded the firmware on the router to the latest and greatest. You know what that did? Instead of crashing my PC once every day or so I get crashes about 5 mins after I start my PC.
I've tried using the linksys wireless configuration utility, and the Windows zero configuration, still crashes. I've tried Wireless Mixed bode, BG mixed, G only, still crashes.   Different channels, still crashes.   I disabled Symantec Client Security firewall, still crashes. Uninstalled SCS and used windows firewall, still crashes.   Disabled netbios and dynamic DNS registration on my adapter, still crashes.   Disabled wireless QoS on PC and router, still crashes. Tried disabling and enabling (individually) Wireless AP isolation, frame burst, CTS Protection mode, forced 54mbps rate ... still crashes. I have no HD attached to the router. I've disabled UPnP on the router, still crashes.
You know what does fix the crashes? Disabling my wireless adapter. You know what else fixes the crashes?   Connecting to a different wireless router.
I'm completely baffled. Any ideas what I can try? I'm an IT Consultant by trade, and have been working with PCs and networking in a professional capacity for over 8 years, so I have a decent amount of troubleshooting experience.   The BSOD doesn't say much, just equates to a hardware/driver fault ... but no indication what.   My crash dump analysis (full, not just minidump) also provides no data as to what driver).
Thoughts? As much as I hated my former Netgear, I'm about ready to even go back to that....
Edit: My PC is using DHCP, configured as a reserved address.
Message Edited by TroyL on 02-20-2008 07:08 AM

Hello, hopefully I can help you. Some things that resolved my issue were disabling some options in the advanced properties of my NIC (WMP300N) Even if you don't have the same NIC, you should probably have some similar options:
-Manage Wireless Settings = Disabled (note: I disabled this since I'm using Windows to manage the settings)
-Mixed Cell Support = Disabled
-Minimum Power Consumption = Disabled
-Power Save Mode = Disabled
-Wake Up Capabilities = None
-Bluetooth Collaboration = Disabled
-40MHz Intolerant = Disabled
Try disabling those things, and go from there ... good luck . With those settings, I haven't crashed in several months now. I don't know which setting it was fixed it, I haven't been brave enough to go playing with it again ... if it ain't broke, don't fix it, lol.

Simple networking problem XP Pro SP2 wireless 10.4.3 (mac mini)

Hi all
I wish to set up a wireless network between my new mac mini and a laptop running windows. I need some help with IP settings I think...
Initially I'd like to get bidirectional filesharing working. Eventually I'd like to share internet from mac OSX to laptop XP.
mac has OSX 10.4.3 , 1.5GHz , 1GB , airport option
laptop has XP Pro , SP2 , 802.11b/g , 10/100 ethernet
I've been able to share dial up internet from the laptop to the mac via an ethernet cable, and also get filesharing working in both directions with a physical connection.
Wireless is the problem.
The mac is connected to a dynalink DSL modem/router identifying as 192.168.1.1. The mac ethernet IP is set to use DHCP and sets itself up as 192.168.1.2 using 192.168.1.1 as a router. Both on subnet 255.255.255.0. Mac broadband internet works fine.
I think I need to know IP details to configure the mini's inbuilt airport to wirelessly network with the laptop. For example, should I set the TCP/IP manually, or DHCP with manual address, or what? And to what address?
I think I also need to know what IP settings to configure the XP wifi card with. For example, can I tell the card to use DCHP or will I need to set it manually?
I can get the XP box to connect wirelessly to a secure network I create with mac--so I don't think it's a WEP key issue--but I can't get pings through or create shares in either direction--prolly cause the IP settings are all wrong...
If I try to share the internet from "built in ethernet" to "airport" then the XP can't connect wirelessly at all.
I know the laptop card is physically OK because it functions okay at work (well it did until I screwed up the settings).
Sorry to be so clueless.

Thanks for the suggestion--didn't work, but I'm not confident that I'm fully understanding what you are recommending... to recap
I have on Mac mini
router: 192.168.1.1 sub 255.255.255.0
ethernet: 192.168.1.2 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 (set by "use DHCP" , ip tossed by router)
airport: ??can't figure out what to use??
On laptop
802.11g card , "use DHCP", connects at work
You are saying set the mac mini airport card to
192.168.X.X sub 255.255.255.0
I tried 192.168.1.4 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
also 192.168.10.4 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
I also tried forcing the laptop card to configure as
192.168.1.3 sub 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1
Wireless network connects but I can't ping between machines.
With mac "internet sharing" to airport on, I can't get ANY wireless connection from windows to the mac network.
I MUST be misunderstanding something(s) here.
* Firewall settings? Would these block pings?
* Bridging ethernet-airport on the mac?
* DNS settings? I don't need 'em for broadband..does the router handle this?
If anybody out there is networking wirelessly from an XP machine directly to a mac mini OSX 10.4.3 airport, I'd be *eternally gratefull* if you could share the tcp/ip setting details of the various interfaces.
cheers

K9N6PGM2-V, Win XP Pro/SP2, USB only works at USB-1 speed

Apologies is this is on an FAQ somewhere -- I did look, but didn't see it. Anyway, the USB ports work fine at USB-1 speed, but not at USB 2.0 speed. In fact, MS XP reports that there are no USB 2.0 devices available. Kinda frustrating, since the MSI manual specifically mentions USB 2.0 pin headers for this motherboard.
The PC (see signature) is built from scratch. At this point, the only software that is on it is XP Pro, SP2, and downloaded MSI drivers, and the only hardware added is the Intel Ethernet card. I installed the full package of drivers from this web page:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1472
Specifically, I downloaded the full set ("NVIDIA_MCP61_SYSTEM_MB.zip") and installed everything except "forceware network access manager.".
One other note -- When I installed the motherboard, I connected the front panel USB connectors to the motherboard's JUSB1 connector (should I have hooked it to JUSB2?) ... however, the same behavior (USB1 speed only) happens with the built-in connectors (next to keyboard/mouse input, etc.)
Can anyone help? Thanks.
Phil

G60 214 upgraded to XP Pro SP2 all good but microphone not recording

Hi all,
just upgraded an HP G60-214 to XP Pro SP2 with much assistance from yourselves for which many thanks !
Getting the Conexant HD 221 sound to work was difficult but is now good but I'm having trouble getting the microphone to work.
Device manager shows an NVidia driver and says it's working properly but 'Sound Recorder' doesn't record anything and neither does Skype. The volume is set to maximum and it isn't muted.
Anyone got this to work under XP ?
Thanks for looking !

Hi
I have a similar problem.
If I use skype, or infact other programs, the microphone seems very unstable.
In most of my skype calls I loose the mic at some point or another. during these drops Skype warns me that the mic is very low, but I have not changed any settings. It seems that there is a problem with the integrated mic. Loose connection or something. This is not just with Skype but with other programs where I use the mic. However, there is no problem with hearing the other side of a call. Thus speaker is fine. Tired of this problem as I cant call without having problems. Please help.
thanks in advance.

WinXP Pro SP2 XE works, VS 2005 Developer tools won't

Visual Studio 2005 Oracle explorer sees nothing.
Took me 2 days to figure this out
Copy the tnsnames.ora file from:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN
To the new home directory created when you installed Oracle Developer Tools for VS 2005, probably something like :
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\Client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
Now Oracle explorer will see the XE database when you add a connection.
If you want to access your database via HTTP and have your XE server installed on an XP Pro SP2:
By default, Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall blocks external access to your database on port 8080.
You must enable HTTP access via Administration on your XE Server. You must also turn the Windows firewall off on the server machine or insert an exception for TCP port 8080 in the Firewall. Firewall settings are located at control panel, firewall, exceptions. Stop the firewall, insert the exception, then start the firewall up again.
Have fun. Learning is so rewarding.
Bruce

Well done.
I encourage you to post this in the XE forum as well. Gives credit where credit is due - in the forum that can hugely benefit from such info.
(You HAVE registered for the XE forum using http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/registration haven't you?)

How to connect my macbook pro to LDC television

I have a macbook pro 13-inch, mid 2012 model.
I have an LCD television of 32 inch from panasonic (TH-L32C8K).
My TV does not have hdmi port but have vga and AV ports.
To connect to Macbook I bought an thunderbolt to hdmi cable. Then I bought an hdmi to vga cable. So my final arrangement is like this
Macbook<-->thunderbolt-to-hdmi-cable<-->hdmi-to-vga-cable<-->Television
On the television i changed to AV mode to PC. But nothing is shown on the tv screen. My TV works with other thing. When i connect the macbook pro, it does not show anything. Can you guys suggest whats going wrong? Before buying this macbook, i was like dreaming about it. But now life became so hard using the mac. Everything is pricy and not compatible to outside world devices.

That's a complete mess and I am not suprised that it is not working.
Instead of getting two adapters, you could just get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a simple VGA cable, so you can be sure it will work. Maybe you should have looked for more information before purchasing anything.

No wireless access with Windows XP Pro (SP2) on Macbook Pro

Hello,
Just installed Windows XP Pro (SP2) on my new Macbook Pro using Bootcamp Beta. The installation has gone fine with the exception of wireless access to the internet through my Airport home network.
I've tried all the other configuraton wizards on XP...no joy.
The three other macs in the house (2 wireless, 1 ethernet) and one Windows laptop (wireless) are all fine and dandy.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

Right Click on My Computer
Select Manage
Click on Device Manager
Make sure that your Ethernet Adapters are working properly
If there is an red X or a yellow ! next to any ethernet adapter then try to reinstall the drivers.
(you can reinstall the drivers via the installation cd or double click on the hardware device under device manager. there should be a reinstall drivers button in there. point it to the CD that you burned from bootcamp)
(there will be a couple of devices that are not working properly.)
