A sudden loss of connectivity...

Since February of 2008 I have had my network configured to allow me to send large files from work to home via DAV, DAVS, SFTP, FTPS and FTP (I enjoy tinkering with my set up). About a month ago everything came to an abrupt end and I have not been able to get it up and unning again, so here I am, hoping there will be some insight from you. My set up is as follows:
I use a DynDns URL (epconnect.dyndns.org) which correctly resolves to 98.224.193.135 to keep connected. If you want to try to check the connecions I have a test folder set up for FTP for user: test / Password: 20test09 and a folder set up or DAV using directory: DAVTest / user: test / Password: 20test09. I will watch for activity on these folders and keep them open for a month or so.
COMPUTERS I USED AS SERVERS IN TESTS:
Macintosh 01 - OS X 10.5.6 / Static IP 192.168.1.136 / PPC
Macintosh 02 - OS X 10.5.6 / Static IP 192.168.1.137 / Intel
ROUTERS I USED IN TESTS:
Linksys WRT54G 01 V. 6 - Firmware V. 1.02.6
Linksys WRT54G 02 V. 6 - Firmware V. 1.02.5
General network settings - Subnet 255.255.255.0 / Router address 192.168.1.1 / Apache 2.2.9 / httpd.conf file altered to allow WebDav / Web sharing enabled / File Sharing (FTP) enabled
All of the following tests were run both with and without the Macintosh firewall enabled, the results were the same in each case.
Tested http://localhost on Macintosh (01 and 02) in browser * - CONNECTED
Tested IP http://192.168.1.(136 and 137) in browser * - CONNECTED
Tested IP http://98.224.193.135 in browser * - FAILED
Tested IP http://epconnect.dyndns.org in browser * - FAILED
Tested IP ftp://192.168.1.(136 and 137) in browser * - CONNECTED
Tested IP ftp://98.224.193.135 in browser * - FAILED
Tested IP ftp://epconnect.dyndns.org in browser * - FAILED
Tested FTP for 192.168.1.(136 and 137) in CyberDuck ** - CONNECTED
Tested FTP for 98.224.193.135 in CyberDuck ** - FAILED
Tested FTP for epconnect.dyndns.org in CyberDuck ** - FAILED
Tested DAV for 192.168.1.(136 and 137) in CyberDuck ** - CONNECTED
Tested DAV for 98.224.193.135 in CyberDuck ** - FAILED
Tested DAV for epconnect.dyndns.org in CyberDuck ** - FAILED
At one point, just to test my router port forwarding, I enabled DMZ and forwarded ALL ports to 192.168.1.136 and 192.168.1.137 respectively but there was no difference in the results from the individual port forwards.
The Ping tests run on 192.168.1.136, 192.168.1.137, 98.224.193.135, and epconnect.dyndns.org all connected with no packet loss BUT in one case I forgot and had the ports forwarded to the Mac that I had TURNED OFF but still received a PASS! ***? I am guessing that Ping is worthless as a test to see if the site is responding because of this.
I ran a port scan from the DynDns.com Open Port Tool and all of the ports returned as OPEN using both epconnect.dyndns.org and 98.224.193.135. However I used the Macintosh utility Network Tool and ran a port scan from 21 to 443 (the only ones I need) for both epconnect.dyndns.org and 98.224.193.135 and both of the tests timed out returning NO OPEN PORTS.
I reset the Comcast Cable Modem (Arris TM502G/CT) with the CAT5 cable, the power cord, and the coaxial cable disconnected by pressing and holding the reset button on the modem for 20 seconds, waiting for all of the lights to come back on, then reattaching the router (NO CHANGE).
In desperation I reinstalled OS X on Macintosh 01 from scratch and reconfigured all of my settings but I STILL cannot get epconnect.dyndns.org to connect to FTP, SFTP, FTPS, DAV, or DAVS. Not even my test homepage will come up in the browser.
The following is an excerpt from Comcast:
I understand you have questions about which ports are blocked on the
Comcast network. I have included the current list of blocked ports for
you below:
67
68
135
137
138
139
445
512
520
1080
I am unsure what I could be missing. I spoke to Comcast a few minutes ago and they state again that they are not blocking th ports and there have been no changes in my service that could account or this. I also sent an email to DynDns.com and nothing is wrong on their end. I can't recall anything I changed on my Macs except for any recent upgrades from apple and I reset the routers back to factory spec and reentered all of the port routing by hand.
* Tested in browsers IE 7 and Safari 4 with a Dell PC and Firefox 3 and Safari 4 on a Macintosh.
** Tested FTP and DAV connectivity with EngInSite DataFreeway 2 on the PC and Cyberduck 3 on the Macintosh.
* I didn't bother testing FTPS or DAVS since the self signed certificate I use is for epconnect.dyndns.org and wont work on the local network.

Bump.
Any ideas?
This is a particular problem with users based in distant territories, e.g. South Africa. Our FMS is based in the UK.
I would imagine the number of hops in the connection is a big factor in this. Are there recommended FMS settings for this kind of scenario?

Sudden loss of connection all together

I'll start off by saying hello to everyone.
We've had infinity installed for some time now. I'm talking many months, definitely more than 18. This is the first time we have encountered a sudden loss of internet connection. We have already called BT and followed all their steps but what the people at the call centre don't understand is we want to know WHY! Not the possibilities, a solid reason. I was always able to give this to our business customers when I worked first line support. We recently had a storm which I think is contributing, since going over everything many times and no joy I have wondered about the phone line. Since the loss of connection it has always got massive static interference on the line. The service updates say all is good, but I can't help but think that page is just nonsense and that it is at fault and that BT are too up themselves to admit the fault is their end.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thank you very much in advance.

Home hub 3 - Sudden loss of connection after havin...

I have been with BT for about a week now and over the last 6 days the internet has been working fine. Today I had to do some eletrical work so cut the power to the whole house, obviously this turned off the router. I did this on several occisions not really thinking as there was a few jobs that needed the eletricity being cut.
Since doing this I have had bad connection problems, the internet seems to work fine for about 10 mins then cut off for a minute them come back on again. I have done a full master reset but it still losses connectivtiy.
It could be that the line is dodgy but it seems weird that it was working completely fine and now it isnt. Rang up bt who are now monitoring the line for 24h. These are the adsl stats are below if that helps. If anyone has any suggestions on fixing the problem or the cause please let me know!

Is there anyway to tell bt that the line isnt unstable but it was infact me being stupid and turning it off?
Currenlty the stats are as shown. The nosie margin still very high and the downstreem very low. I am hoping this will change over the next few days. I am still losing connection however, have left the router doing its own thing and just using the internet when it allows me!

Sudden/intermittent lost connectivity

I just got a new ibook with an Airport Extreme card. My router is Linksys. Twice now, I've had sudden loss of connectivity, and the only thing that restores it is restarting the computer. (Renewing the DHCP lease may also work.) I have NEVER had this before -- on my old ibook, I had an old (non-extreme) Airport Card, with the same router. I DID upgrade to Airport 4.2 on the old computer, and did not experience any problems. Any thoughts?

From your other post, start broadcasting your SSID and see if that makes a difference.

Sudden Loss of Internet Connection to Airport

I am having a similar problem to Fred55 (four posts down). My computer however, before it "fixes" the problem of accessing the airport says,
"An application named airport needs to access your keychain but there is an existing version. Do you want to change all your keychain items to allow the new version access to your keychain?"
-It then gives me the options Don't Change or Change.
So far, I have always said Don't Change, and then clicked on Allow Always, but then it seems to go back to the same loss of connection if I turn my computer off. I have looked at where it would change to, and it shows this:
System/Library/Private Frameworks/Apple80211.framework/VersionsA/Resources/airport. The difference being that the new version that the computer wants me to change to has versionA in it.
If you havent noticed I am not Mac saavy and could use some help. Should I instead of clicking Dont Change click the Change and let it move all the keychains to this VersionA business? Thanks for your input.

mulrich, Welcome to the discussion area!
Should I instead of clicking Dont Change click the Change...

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Suddenly unable to connect to my webserver

Hi everyone.
So I ran into a sticky situation on a swf that has been working quite well for several years and this morning out of the blue my test movie (local) suddenly refuses to connect to my web server. I think the culprit is the new flash debug player I installed last night. I upgraded to 10.1 from 9.something. After sifting through countless google searches and beating my head against my desk for the past few hours Im at a total loss as to what happened and how to get my local testing working once again. The really confusing thing is that I can publish and upload to my web server and it works just fine. (Not really an option as a compile/upload takes a bit less than 10 mins)
Im running Flash Pro 8
So the first thing I did was uninstall the new flash debug player. Ran a test movie, no luck (Error opening url()...)
Next I downloaded and installed Flash player 9 content debugger (netscape-compatible browsers). Ran a test move, no luck
Gotta be my server then, nope all directories/files and permissions are exactly the same.
Hummm... I wonder if I can connect to my server at all? I uploaded a brand new test file (test.txt) to the server and open it in a browser to make sure its accessible. Created a new fla with the following code:
var server:String = "http://www.campaign63.com/resources/test.txt";
this.createTextField("params_txt", 10, 10, 10, 100, 21);
params_txt.autoSize = "left";
System.security.allowDomain(server); //shouldnt be necessary but I want to rule as much out as I can
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
    if (success) {
        trace("text file successfully loaded");
        params_txt.text = my_lv.testValue;
    } else {
        params_txt.text = "unable to load text file";
my_lv.load(server);
with the local playback security set to "Access network only"
Fails: "Error opening URL "http://www.campaign63.com/resources/test.txt""
To rule out my code I change the first line to: var server:String = "test.txt"; it works (regardless of the local playback security setting)
Im am at a total loss...
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, I did that after thoroughly reading the page
Still no luck. As I was doing that I noticed that I didnt get the "sandbox" message with the setting tab that would take you to the FP global setting page unless I tried to open the swf from windows explorer. Opening from Flash it just give the "error connecting to url..." message. Anyway I did add the local folder location that contains all the related project files. Also when I right click and "open with" I am only give the option to open with Flash Player 8.0 r22. I cant find the new Player that I just reinstalled (after a restart). Not even with a windows search. However if I verify my version I get 10,1,53,64 debug yes.
Just to verify that something in flash could connect to the internet my old ftp login for "open from site" can connect. It has to be the player, right?

Sudden loss of link after "getting" file from server

I have used the "get" feature to modify one of my files from my site. While I was saving my changes, I noticed that I had lost all the page's styles -- no style, no background, only html structures! I've tried to repeat the "get" feature to replace the effected page, but instead of replacing the unstyled page, there was no change. The unstyled page remained unstyled. I was able to use the "get" feature to to place the page in question in another folder. My question is, can I just delete the unstyled page and merely upload the very same page that's in a different folder to the server? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I might add that I'm still very much a novice in web design, learning every day.

Hi there,
Since I upgraded to 10.6.5, I sometimes suffer very weird partial losses of connectivity after waking up from sleep. I am wondering if other people have witnessed the same thing.
When this happens (and it doesn't happen every time), HTTP still works, but:
- HTTPS doesn't work anymore,
- Mail is unable to retrieve emails (neither with MobileMe using SSL on port 993, nor with my university IMAP server also with SSL on port 993)
- Adium X (IM client) is unable to connect to any IM server (including MobileMe, GTalk, AIM, Hotmail, and Yahoo!)
Worth mentioning: I am using Privoxy as a local HTTP proxy.
I looked at the logs in the Console, and I haven't seen any suspicious messages. In the Network pane of the System Preferences, everything looks normal.
When I unplug the ethernet cable and immediately plug it back in, everything goes back to normal.
Any ideas?... What do you suggest I should check, next time it happens, to narrow down the source of the problem?
Hello!
Same problem with me but i´m not using the mentioned tool (privoxy) at all. No connection with imap, ichat and some google calendars in ical. Web browsing works without problem. I assume that this happened after upgrading to 10.6.5. One thing to mention: i am using accounts with low privileges, same with you, Allamistakeo?

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue. Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

My iMac suddenly no longer connects to wifi network when in KIOSK (username) mode, and only connects when as ADMINISTRATOR mode. Its strange because the iMac has been working fine in KIOSK mode for over a year until 2 days ago.

One of the memory cards was indeed faulty, and the other completely fine
Thanks very much for all your help!
Although there is one little thing that I've noticed. The iMac works properly, but I tried to software update to see if that may help my Minecraft sound issue (as I still don't think only having 2GB instead of 4GB would cause such a problem) but the software update application won't work. Running the "Software Update" from the apple menu on the toolbar gains no response, nothing happens. If I run the software update from system preferences, the application icon appears for a second, then disappears (as in the blank app. icon, the blank canvas with the pencil, pen and ruler in the bottom right corner). It does this every time I try to run it. It did work when the computer was crashing, but this started when on one of the occasions I ran the app. while it was crashing. Since this occured during the crashes, and still occurs now, I'm wondering did something simlar happen minecraft, as it's sound disappeared during the crashes and is still gone now.
However, the computer is now working again without crashes, which is the main thing, thanks for helping me fix the issue
Edit: I would mark the topic as solved, but I'm unsure if this would lock the topic or something simlar, so I'd rather leave it open for any ideas regarding the software update and Minecraft issues I'm having

Suddenly can't connect to Yahoo email? "Incorrect username or password".

I thought I was past all the email headaches I've had with the X. Its certainly not a Blackberry...lol
Everything has been working fine for the last month and now all of a sudden it wont connect to Yahoo. I've tried removing the account and setting it up again. I've tried every different suggested setting. I got it to work and it synced up all my yahoo email and then an hour later it wouldnt connect again. The error message is "Incorrect username or password". I've entered the correct information.....trust me.
I am at wits end with this phone. The email problems have been going on since the Droid came out. Why hasnt Verizon resolved the problem?
Any suggestions as to what I can do to get my problem correct? I love the phone...but hate the email functionality.

Not a Verizon issue...a Droid issue. My bad...I see I stated verizon in the first post. I meant to say motorola.
You can search the internet and find many people have had the same thing.. I've had lots of problems with bellsouth also....and so have many others. I still cant , and never have been able to, send an attachment with my bellsouth account.. I had a Verizon Blackberry for years and never once had trouble accessing yahoo or bellsouth. I dont want to switch back. I think the Droid is a cool phone......but if I'm paying $30 for a data plan and need to get my emails I expect to get my emails.

Suddenly can't connect to windows server

I suddenly can't connect to the windows server. The username and password is correct, but it says "Connection Failed: Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the name and password or contact the server's administrator." It pings the server as well. My internet and email works fine. The IT guys can't figure it out either, but they are not mac gurus. Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information. I also tried connecting through the server alias under the network and its the connetion failed as going through Connnect to Server and entering it as AFP://ipaddress.
Can it be from the 10.4.11 update? It was fine before the update I believe - but I can't recall for sure. I'm a lone mac user in a very pc company, so any mac expert advice would be helpful.
Is just strange since I have no problems connecting to our work email via GroupWise.

Yes for any previous connection, Macs will send what's in Keychain Access, even if it's wrong, before you get asked... delete that reference in Keychain Access.
