A20m Trouble with Ethernet Card and the Internet

I have a A20m Thinkpad that is not connecting to the internet. At first my problem was that I did not have an ethernet card as detailed on this forum post.
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Legacy-ThinkPads-A-I-V-300-600/A20m-Network-Controller-Driver/m-p/219725...
Thus I bought this ethernet card and installed it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190223756432
From what I can tell I installed it correctly and then I preceded to install the drivers for this card. The ones located on this page.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4K4PWT
It seemed to work well and the controller shows up in hardware devices.
That went well, but I still cannot connect to the internet. I thought it might be the card itself but after running the 3Com NIC Utilities that came with the drivers it said that there were no problems with the card.
Also of note I have noticed that there are no lights on the port where the ethernet cable is plugged in. I am not sure if there should be. Any help people could offer would be most appreciated. This Thinkpad is running windows XP.

Called them up today and basically I got them to pay for shipping this time. They told me they did not have any more new ones of my model and are not willing to ship me a suitable new replacement model after all this trouble and just gonna keep on shipping me refurbished until we find one that works (the heck? ...his quotes). So basically by the time I get my 2nd refurbished replacement (and assume it actually works this time) my computer would been down for over 2 months.
I am currently saving up for a 9800gt from evga since they are budget priced now (heard they actually have a good customer service and good quality cards) and based on my experience with MSI I can't recommend their products to anyone now sadly.
Hopefully MSI will send me out a tested a verified to word refurbished card this time.

Trouble with SPDIF Passthrough and the Audig

I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 from Dell and am trying to connect it to Logitech Z-680 speakers. I want to use digital surround sound. I found the instructions on how to do this on Logitech's site. However, I have a problem.
Step 2 states to go to Audio HQ, select 'Device Controls' and then select the 'decoder tab'. My Device Controls does not have a 'decoder tab' nor does it have a 'SPDIF Passthrough' option that I can find. Where do I find the SPDIF Passthrough option?
I have updated all of my drivers and Creative software as far as I can tell. In the Device Controls help it states: "Digital Input Settings is available only if you are using the Optical Digital I/O card or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Dri've." Does this mean my Audigy 2 from Dell does not support optical out?!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Janefoe,
Since this card is OEM I would suggest contacting Dell at this time. You can then find out from them if this feature was included with this card and if so how to enable or disable SPDIF Passthrough.

Trouble with my wireless and cable internet connections with S05

I got a Lenovo S205 last month and have been having trouble connecting it to the internet.
I connect wirelessly to my internet box and sit about 1m away from it. Even though I am so close and my connection shows full strengh on my computer when I am browsing the internet pages often fail to load or miss images or css. I can sit and hit refresh for a mintue before the page loads but my wireless icon never says it has lost connection or signs me out of msn etc.
I tried a different brower to check it was not that but it is still the same. I also find when speaking on skype that my video feed will stop and start again and the sound doesn't come through smoothly.
Because of the trouble and how close I am to the internet box I tried with a cabel but when I plug it in and turn off wireless the computer doesnt seem pick it up and says I have no connection. I tried the same cabel in my old laptop and it worked fine so it seems something wrong with my port.
What can I do to fix it? Thanks
Stephanie

hey steffi,
try uninstalling both the wired and wireless drivers for your unit.
let windows install its own generic drivers and try again on both wired and wireless connection at your home.
if possible, try it at a different location and see if it makes any difference. If you are able to connect and have no problems browsing the web on a different wireless/wired connection, then you will need to check the settings of your home's modem

For 3 years my iMac and miniMac both communicated with a Canon printer and the internet using an Airport Extreme. Last winter, the miniMac lost printing via the Airpor and now can't communicate with the network at all.

For three years my iMac and Mac mini were networked via Airport Extreme with a printer and the internet. More recently, I added an iMac and iPhone. PROBLEMS: A few months ago the Mac mini lost its connection to the printer, and now it cannot locate the network at all.

If you use the extreme as a router then the tc should be connected via its wan port to one of the lan ports on the extreme. Tc should be set up in bridge mode. Basically you could set it up to create another wireless network beside the one created by the extreme. There is no need to use WDS or extend the other network.
Use the same SSID and password for both machines. Computers will connect to the strongest signal.

I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

Trouble With Opening InDesign and now Photoshop and Illustrator

First off I apologize if this isn't in the correct section. I couldn't find a section specific to my problem since it involves multiple aspects of Adobe products. I was having trouble with InDesign, it kept crashing. So I followed all of the advice I could find on the forums about deleting the preferences and cache information in the Library folder, and that didn't seem to make a difference. So then I thought maybe it needed an update, so I logged into Adobe Application Manager and sure enough, it did. So I clicked on "download" and it stalled there too. Then the manager became unresponsive. I couldn't cancel the update or log out or anything. So then I saw in the forum someone suggested the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool if your manager becomes unresponsive. I ran that and then shut my computer off. When I turned it back on, InDesign started working BUT my Photoshop is completely gone from my system (I never messed with it in the first place since I wasn't having any trouble with it.) And the when I tried to click on Illustrator it said "Do you want to begin your trial?" Huh?
I have had a subscription since 2012, why on earth would it suddenly think that I no longer should have access to these programs? If I log on to my Adobe account it shows my subscription and that it's up to date (last payment was April 5, 2015). The versions I was using were the CS versions that I had downloaded directly from Adobe and when I used to have any trouble or when I got a different computer I could just log into my account and then redownload them. They are no longer showing under my products, so I can't figure out what on earth is going on. The website has changed since the last time I downloaded them, so that partly could be me, but I thought they would at least be showing up under products. I contacted Adobe support and the first person I talked to on chat said "this is clearly a technical issue I am transferring you to someone better suited for this," but that's all he said. And I haven't heard from anyone since so I thought I'd make a topic and see if anyone else out there has had a similar problem.

The versions I am using are the CS6 versions.*

At work we have many who travel with train alot, where the internet is very unstable at best. And they have trouble getting their e-mails. So the question is if there is a way to increase the mail cache in iOS 7, to lower the dependence of internet.

At work we have many who travel with train alot, where the internet is very unstable at best. And they have trouble getting their e-mails.
So the question is if there is a way to increase the mail cache in iOS 7, to lower the dependency of a very poor internet connection.

I don't think so. Unless it's in the settings, there's not much that can be done.
are they using wifi on the train? If so, maybe switching to cellular. There are devices like the Mifi, which is a battery operated portable wifi hotspot that they can connect their device to.
If the wifi on the train is solid, I know I've had issues using certain hotspots. For example, my yahoo mail simply will not pull down via the mail app if I'm on some AT&T hot spots. But if I go in via safari then it works. So if the signal is good, maybe using a different way can help.
Or maybe looking for a mail interface that isn't apple's. There are others in the app store that may have better function or more control.

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store. When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del. When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway. I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
Cheers for now,
Marty

this worked perfectly for me, with no loss of library! BUT was warned about uninstalling things in the order listed...FYI.

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up.

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up. This afternoon the NO SIM message came up and I cannot fix it. What is my next step? I am traveling in Canada now and it is not convenient to come back to the States just to get a SIM card.
Thanks,
Lou

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. How can I initiate Verizon sending me a new SIM card? I will be here long enough to receive it if they can send it to me.
I have been trying to call Verizon Wireless, but they won’t take my call from my Skype account and I don’t have my phone.
Thanks again,
Lou

I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

Please give us more specific information -
What make/model camcorder are you using?
Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video? Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder? Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?
