3429 - Won't detect Networking Devices (And can't manually force drivers)

Got an "old" 3429 from a friend who's been using it at their office for a few years - Did a complete re-format and installed Windows 8 on it.
But now it won't detect any of the network hardware (Ethernet OR Wireless) and I can't get it installed manually (not for lack of trying) by using the drivers listed on the driver download page for the computer.
Additionally - Can anyone tell me what kind of RAM limits this machine has? The specifications seem to be for a never revision of the Thinkcentre that claims the machine uses standard size DDR3 sticks, which doesn't correlate at all with mine - It has a single laptop sized RAM slot (SO-DIMM?)

I've double and triple checked everything now - Both adaptors are enabled in the BIOS, the Ethernet port shows yellow light when connected to the network and nothing appears in Device Manager for either adaptor (No matter how many times I tell it to scan for hardware changes - nor are they pre-installed and present in the list. Only the bluetooth connection is running)

Itunes won't detect my devices

Itunes just updated and now it won't detect any devices plugged into the computer, such as our iPhones 5, and 4

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

Thank you

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.

No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

FMLE won't detect audio devices

FMLE won't detect any of my audio devices even when I set them to default device. It only detects my microphone, and I've searched online for many fixes and to no avail.

Pretty much same issue. I usually have my audio device set to "what u hear" for streaming (on creative soundcard), so I can pick up both my mic and ingame audio. However a couple weeks back it just stopped registering "what u hear" and won't pick it up at all (even though ive tested in the creative console and it's definitely working), will only let me set to just my microphone. Have found no fixes anywhere =/

T520 won't detect Network card in WDS/WinPE/Ghost image disk

Hello all,
I figured I would just post this so I could save 2 days of someone elses life.
I'm not sure how many other modes have the EFI and UEFI bios's in them but this has caused a lot of problems when trying to capture an image / image the Lenovo T520. So for anyone else that is having these problems here is how I got around the problem.
The Problem:
While trying to boot up off a Capture image with a CD or PXE boot for our WDS server the laptop would not detect the network card giving no IP address and listing the adapter as a hybrid. When trying to do a ipconfig /renew it would give an error around the lines of the loopback something or other ....... the adapter could not be contacted or initated.
I instantly thought this was due to the vanila WinPE / Capture image not having the drivers for the Lenovoo T520, so I went to the website downloaded the new drivers and injected them into the WinPE disk(You will want ot use the NDIS Drivers which are included in the package for this). Following this process it would still not detect or install the NIC. After many hours of searching it would apear this was due to the EFI/UEFI bios options not going through the proper boot cycle when in a PE enviroment. The solution was to mess around with the EFI/UEFI switches in the WinPE boot image during the creation proccess as listed below:
ocdimg -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,bc:\winpe_x64\etfsboot.com#pEF,e,bc:\winpe_x64\efisys.bin c:\winpe_x64\ISO c:\winpe_x64\winpeuefi.iso
The link with more details is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947024
Eseentially once the new boot image was complied with the proper EFI / UEFI options enabled it went through the proper boot process detected the NIC and installed the drivers which I previously provided on the disk and we where off to the races imaging the new laptop.
Hopefull this will help some others who are struggling with this or any other model that has this type of bios.
Cheers, and thanks
Please feel free to post any additional comments to help others if you found better ways to get around this
One side note the EFI/UEFI to legacy mode only does nothing for the NIC problem, I have seen some posts where they can help with the hard drive issues when imaging, however as for the nic not loading in PE enviroments this setting in the BIOS did not reslove the problem.

Hi Rusty1234
If I did not remember wrongly, you may present or add drivers (network, hardware) under WDS / Ghost software or copy necessary drivers (e.g. your T520 network card drivers) under it's PXE / boot section.
Happy 2012!

Help! New iMac won't recognize ethernet cable and can't check it

I just unboxed my new iMac and can't get on the internet (I'm on my powerbook). The problem is this; in Network, it says "The cable for Built-In Ethernet is not plugged in." Only, it is. Can't be the cable b/c that's the cable I'm connected with right now. So, I go through "assist me" and when I click on "Assistant" it takes me to the Intro page where I'm supposed to give a Location Name. I do this, calling it "home." The ver next screen, after clicking "continue" takes me to "How do you connect to the internet?" The problem here is that, of the 5 options, only one is selectable. Airport is the only one that can be selected?? "I use a telephone modem to dial my ISP" as well as "DSL Modem/Cable/Lan" are all greyed out..they cannot be selected. I use an ethernet cable. Why is this not able to be selected? It's very frustrating. I've turned off Airport and Bluetooth, yet I still cannot check any of these. I need to check "I use a cable modem to dial my ISP" but I can't b/c it won't allow me. Can anyone help me here? I can't use my brand new iMac and it's kind of a bummer. I thought these things were plug and play? Thanks.

I went and checked logs. Now, I'm not exactly sure what it means, but this is what it shows in the console.log:
Mac OS X Version 10.4.10 (Build 8R2218)

MCXD.initializeDirectoryServices: Unabe to get the ethernet address
So, I'm curious about that last line. I'm completely stumped. I'm going to have to call apple care. I plan to speak with my IT guy who installed my SW to see if there's any pref's or something that my agency puts on the agency computers that would maybe be doing this. He said he'd be doing a "build" on my machine so that I had that same software I have at work, so I could work from home. Don't know how that could cancel out my ability to select Ethernet in my Network Port Configurations, but who knows.
I'm just bummed I have a new computer and can't get it up and running.

SCOM Network device and port status alert

My network team has requested to receive an alert when a port on a network device such as a switch or a router goes down,whether it’s operational down or administrative down. At the same time they wish to know when this network device goes down entirely.
When setting up both of these alerts, One does not take prescednce over the other. Therefore, the team gets alerted when the network device goes down plus all of the ports being monitored on that network device. Is there a way to build logic into these monitors,
where if a network device such as a router or switch goes down the monitor which is monitoring the ports will get suppressed or overridden?

You can define anything that you u need to contribute to the overall monitoring of the health.
What is needed is to create the aggregated monitor first before building whatever you require

Installed 2 new network printers and can't see old network printer

I installed an Hp2055dn(wired) and an HP Officejet 6000 e609n(wireless) this week for a group of classrooms to share in an elementary school. They work perfectly. My problem seems to be that another printer, HP 2600n(wired), has disappeared from the network and can't be seen by any computers on the wireless network. It still can print from our wired computer lab though. I'm assuming there must be a conflict somewhere but am at a loss to start to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
It sounds as though you may not have gotten Aperture updated to version 2.1.4, which is required to work in Snow Leopard. There are numerous topics about updating to 2.1.4 after attempting to run an earlier version in SL Read some of those:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10578088&#10578088
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10840115&#10840115
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10737633&#10737633
Having updated to 2.1.4 while running Leopard, and before Upgrading to Snow Leopard, I cannot provide a clear path to what to purge in order to get the update done in SL, if you find all is correct regarding the location of the application, etc. Removing Aperture and installing again, but running Software Update before ever launching Aperture may work, and downloading the current trial version (which is 2.1.4) and then applying the Serial number of the package you bought will also work.

IBook G3 Cannot Detect Networks -- Other Computers Can

My boss's iBook G3 (dual-USB) cannot detect networks. Often the airport icon will not even load up in the menubar, and sometimes it loads, but shows no available networks. We are in a building with dozens of networks, but nothing shows up. Two other computers are accessing our network via Airport just fine. Any thoughts? This is driving us nuts! Any help would be much appreciated.
(By the way, this iBook has successfully connected to our network in the past. Yesterday and today it has just started misbehaving. Thanks again for your help.)

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! The network settings have not been changed, so I don't think that it is an issue of b vs. g.
After leaving the iBook asleep for about an hour, I woke it and managed to get a signal (a few other available networks also showed up). Then I put it back to sleep for a few minutes to see if I would get a signal again. When I woke it up, the signal flashed from 4 bars to none, and the computer froze. Does this fact, and the fact that the Airport icon in the menu bar has been very, very slow to load (about 5 minutes) suggest that there is something wrong with the Airport software on the iBook?
Thanks for your help!

Wiped the T42p (2373-GUU) and can't fix the drivers.

Hello,
I'm hoping some of you can help me out with this. It's extremely frustrating. Our old laptop got hit by viruses and I had to wipe it's OS. The problem is, I had no discs so now I can't find the drivers. I've been downloading and installing just about every driver on this site and none of them seem to be the right ones.

I was trying at first just to get the driver for the network hardware so I could get the computer online so that I could then update the other drivers.
So, if any of you just know which network driver I need, I would appreciate it so much.
Thank you!

Hi Esonnier! Welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
If you are in the right place on the Lenovo Support & download site, you should be getting somewhere with the drivers you downloaded.
First, just checkin: Lenovo driver installs are a two-step process. 1. Double click the download to extract the files (usually to a directory under C:\DRIVERS). 2. Go to the extract directory and run the install (usually double click setup.exe but not always). The instructions have the exact procedure for each driver.
Are you doing the two steps?

Solaris 9 x86 doesn't recognize my lan card and can't get the drivers

Hi guys! I have a problem with my solaris os.. It doesn't recognize my realtek 8029 lan card and this means that i can't download the drivers from the internet.. Anyway i got the drivers using my other installed OS ( slackware linux 9 ) from the www but there's a problem it seems that i cant mount the harddrive where the driverz are..neither linux->mount solaris hd disk nor solaris->mount linux hd disk do the trick..(+ i don't have a floppy drive ) Any ideaz how to transfer the drivers from the hd disk where the linux is installed to the solaris disk..?

I have the same NIC (RTL 8029 chip), and.. the solution 4 you. :) I made this quick guide for me, so I can add netwotk support to my system, very easily. Happy to see that another person needs that info.
Follow these steps:
1. Download the file from the link below, put it at /, and unzip it.
ftp://sun.drydog.com/pub/solaris/nei-i86pc-solaris5.7.zip
2. Run (from command line) the command:
add_drv /kernel/drv/nei; devlinks
3. Create the file /kernel/drv/nei.conf and write
name="nei" parent="isa" reg=1,0xe800,0x1f interrupts=5;
(this is the hardware address for my card, you should find your's).
4. Create the file /etc/hostname.nei0, whick will contain the line
192.168.0.1
(this is the IP addr. I use for my internal network, change that to any other reserved addr. you like, like 10.0.0.1)
5. If you use IPv6, create /etc/hostname6.nei0 ,too, with the same contents as hostname.nei0
192.168.0.1
6. Edit /etc/hosts and add the line:
192.168.0.1 myname.mydomain
7. Edit /etc/inet/hosts and make the file look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 myname.mydomain loghost
8. Edit /etc/inet/netmasks and put:
192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
9. Run from command line mode or from a terminal:
/usr/sbin/drvconfig -i nei
10. Run from command line mode or from a terminal:
touch /reconfigure; /usr/sbin/reboot
11. After rebooting, type "ifconfig nei0 plumb" to make sure the device was recognized.
It should show up in the output from typing "prtconf"
Normally, now you can use your RTL8029 card.
I hope I help a little bit mate. :)

Airport Extreme - won't detect network!

Hi, I'm new to these parts so please be gentle with me! I've got an airport extreme card fitted to my ibook G4, and I've been using the card happily for about a month now. It's worked fine but last night it suddenly lost the network and however hard I try, it refuses to connect me to my Netgear router. It must be, I think, a problem with my card because everyone else in my house (who is also on a wireless network) has reception. Therefore they won't be too happy with me if I start messing around with the router. I was just wondering if anyone could shed any light onto why its dissappeared and how to get it back. I'm on channel 11 if that helps. I've tried everything I can think of so far and nothing is working!

Okay there might be a wall with some substance like a mirror or metal etc. in/on it that will interfere with your signal.
Try moving to different places in the house and see if it changes.
I have found that either in the air or some portable phone's/devices signal interfere with the signal in some spots.
As likely you know the signal appearance arround the antenna is not round but looks closer to a circle crossed with a star shape and so some areas do have better signal quality with or without walls stuff blocking the signal.
What works is odd ball channels like 3 5-9 is usually good as most devices do select the first/last channel first.
Channels are not locked to 1 specific channel as well as with radio stations if one channel is occupied there has to be a spacing to prevent channels from crossing so channel 1 can use upto the space of channel 3 etc.
Also try to place the wifi transmitter device as high as possible as this does help somehow ?? why I don't know as a blockage is a blockage. Microwave oven etc.
I have found with a linksys 2 antenna that by placing the antenna at an angle say that would look like a "W" with the antenna making up the sides of the W does cover and compensate for weak spots in the transmission.
This latest Airport update of 8 nov 2005 has made more trouble than anything as being 3 inches from the router now only gives 75% signal where previously I could go 900ft and have then only 75% signal.
Hope this helps.
