Access Connection - proxy settings

Since one of the last updates, access connections do not switch proxy setings (IE ans FF). All other network settings will switch correct, but not proxy...
Why is'nt lenovo/ibm able to convert proxy exceptions for Firefox? As it proxy settings was changed (before the latest update), in access connections used thy ";" as separator also in firefox, this can not work. ff need ",".
Please make access connections woking as soon as possible. Its one of the main features i loved/need at my thinkpad...

Noone working with access connection with the same problem?

  • Access Connections: proxy + homepage settings not taken over in Firefox and IE since upgrade to 5.0

    Hi,
    I got a really annoying problem since upgrading to AC 5.0: both in IE 6.0 and FF 3.0 the proxy and homepage settings are not taken over when switching the network profiles. A first attempt based on a statement found here
    http://www.thinkpad-forum.de/thinkpad-software/thinkvantage-software/13963-access-connection-absturz...
    seemed to look succesful. (for non Germans: they have solved a crash-problem while creating new profiles in reducing the size of FF's prefs.js file to a value under 45 kB). I had a similar problem, too, and solved it in this way. Also the proxy issue seemed to look better then but but only for some days. Now its the same again, proxy and homepage (did by the way never work with AC 5.0) do still not have any effect on IE and FF.
    What's the reason? Has anyone solved or at least experienced this problem?
    Thanks a lot for any hints...
    Best regards,
    Carsten
    PS: T41p, Win XP Pro SP2, IE 6.0, FF 3.0.1

    BSNF:
    Stopped working on 5.0. Upgraded to 5.02 through System Update, continued to not work. Have deleted all profiles, recreated: Still doesn't work. Have uninstalled Access Connections, reinstalled: Still doesn't work. Doublechecked settings in profiles, verified that check box is on in order to get Access Connections to do its thing.
    Both IE 6.0.2900.5512.xpsp.080413-211 (that is, the system proxy and home page settings) and Firefox 3.0.1 are affected.
    Turned on log file; there were 152 lines of error message, included below, some of which clearly make reference to Firefox. Don't know what's wrong. Some kind of permission thing?
    <tr><td></td><td><font color="#FF0000"><b>ERROR    SvcGuiHlpr(     kab(Prvlg).4576.0340) [9/14]14:26:40:960  GetPrefsFile got prefs file path [C:\Documents and Settings\kab\Application Data\Mozilla\firefox\Profiles\vbpsq9vz.Work\prefs.js]</b></font></td></tr>

    I've got a much bigger file that contains the log when switching back and forth. There's other error messages in there, too: Missing PID, etc. Any ideas?

  • L530 - Access Connections: proxy + homepage settings

    The problem is on a brend new L530, installed from scratch with Win7 Enterprise 64bit, no Lenovo Solution Center, just Lenovo System Update (5.02.0018)  and Lenovo Access Connection (6.01).
    The steps I did:
    Ethernet cable plugged in
    Started system
    After a while AC asked for the new profile name, flagged the "Modify profile" checkbox
    Modified settings
    Applied profile...nothing happened on the Control Panel (Internet Options) so IE is useless.
    Looks like Firefox settings changed (Manual profile and all the settings are there).
    I wish AC would set "Control Panel -> Internet options" so every modern browser would work (Chrome and Firefox both have "System Settings" for the Proxy settings).
    Keep in mind that If I reboot the system (maybe forcing AC to re-read profiles) looks like everything works fine.
    So the real problem looks related to profiles created after AC loaded.
    Any hint?
    Moderator edit:  Please DO NOT post in 4+ year old threads!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Maybe this could be useful for someone as I think I found where the problem is: pay attention at the "No Proxy" setting!
    I did some tests and it looks like AC doesn't handle "Firefox" syntax for this setting (i.e. 10.0.0.0/8), if you put that on the profile the proxy setting will not be set.
    The other problem is that Firefox will not understand IE setting (10.*).
    Right now I set up profiles just with "IE syntax" and wrote on BugZilla:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260883

  • Cant connect Proxy settings keep resetting on exit since upgrade

    Ever since I upgraded to 4.whatever it is now every time I close firefox when I start it up again I cant connect because it changes my proxy connection to manual proxy configuration despite that I dont use a proxy. I can change it to whichever of the other options and it works fine until I close then reverts back.
    It is very annoying is there anyway to fix this so it saves my settings?

    Disabling the extension (add-on) FireShot did it for me =)

  • How to access proxy settings in terminal

    I want to use git in the terminal, but unfortunately I'm sometimes (but not always) behind a firewall that requires me to use a proxy server.
    I've successfully set up environments for all these locations, including the proxy settings that are relevant in each context, but I'm unable to access them in the terminal (i.e. there's no HTTP_PROXY environment variable). My idea is to 'inherit' the system wide proxy settings in the terminal and use them to configure git.
    Is there any way to access the proxy settings in the terminal.

    In you home directory, create a file called .bash_profile (notice the leading dot)
    nano .bash_profile
    add to that file
    export HTTP_PROXY="http://your.proxy.information:nnn"
    Save the file
    Restart the Terminal session.
    Command line Git should work via the environment variable you just created.
    NOTE: you will need to use
    ls -a
    to see the .bash_profile in a Terminal session, and because the leading dot makes it an invisible file, the Finder will not show it without some magic Finder Foo

  • Windows 8 and IE10 not accepting Proxy Settings via Group Policy

    We have recently introduced a couple of Windows 8 computers in our network, and we are having issues applying the Internet Explorer Proxy Server settings.
    We use a Microsoft TMG 2010 server as our proxy server for accessing the internet.
     We have been using a GPO with the following settings to automatically configure our Windows 7 computers running IE9 with the appropriate Proxy settings:
    User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Internet Explorer Maintenance\Connection/Proxy Settings
    “Enable Proxy Settings” : Checked
    “Address of proxy” : server.domain.local
    “Port” : 8080
    “Use the same proxy server for all addresses” : Checked
    “Exceptions” : Here we have a list of several internal or partner sites that should not be proxied.
    This GPO has worked beautifully for our Windows XP and Windows 7 users with IE 7, 8 and 9.
     Now with Windows 8 and IE10, this no longer works. 
    I’ve therefore added a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller to the network, and using GPMC on that new DC, I created a new GPO with the following settings:
    User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings\Internet Explorer 10
    Now, seeing as these are preferences, it’s a little different.  But, I’ve “checked off” the option “Use a proxy server for your LAN” as well as “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”. 
    Then I click on “Advanced” and setup all my proxy settings the way I would like them, including the proxy server name, port and exceptions list.
    When this new group policy gets applied to my Windows 8 PC, the only setting that gets applied is the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”. 
    It does not configure the name or port of the proxy server nor does it configure the exceptions list. 
    If I go back to the GPMC, and edit the new GPO, the settings are all there. 
    However, if I just view the settings from the main GPMC screen (without opening the GPO itself), 
    I don’t see all of those settings (again, only the one “Use a proxy server…”)
    What am I missing???

    Hi All, - (Revised Answer by myself)<o:p></o:p>
    I banged my head against the keyboard on this one for some time trying to get this group policy to apply.  I
    did every thing that was suggested, learning about the F6 and F7 keys to Green underline and Red underline the options required and not required.  I even gave in and used the registry settings and it still did not work.  It turned out that I had
    2 issues.  The first one is obvious and the second not so obvious, this is how it is setup:
    I have a 2012 R2 Standard DC with Windows 8.1 clients/workstations and IE 11.  As you are aware you must make
    sure that the following are underlined in green:
    Automatically detect settings - (but not ticked)<o:p></o:p>
    Use proxy server for your LAN<o:p></o:p>
    Bypass Proxy for local address<o:p></o:p>
    Next I made sure that the following had red dotted lines:
    Address<o:p></o:p>
    This still didn't work, so I went through my 'Do Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with' removed all
    of these and then re-added one by one until the problem materialized.  The first issue was when using wildcards I had added an entry with the following:
    http://domain.subdomain.com/*
    Then caused my proxy fields not to be applied, I re-added this just with:<o:p></o:p>
    http://domain.subdomain.com/
    <o:p>This next one is IMPORTANT.</o:p>
    I had these entries in a Word document of which I had copied and pasted from the entry box for 'Do
    Not use proxy servers for addresses beginning with'.  As shown in the screen shot above provided by SVEN_BURGER I had very similar entries:
    http://domain.subdomain.com/;10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*
    Each time I copied and pasted the line (+ more) above the proxy field on the Windows 8.1 client
    be blank after using 'gpupdate /force' I then noticed that in my Word document the whole string was being seen as 1 URL due to the http part at the beginning, so I changed my entry to look like this:
    10.*.*.*;172.27.*.*;http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
    I again noticed that this section:
    http://172.27.*.*;http://domain.subdomain.com/
    Was being seen as one URL in my Word document.  To resolve this I had to add the URL's individually and
    apply and OK these before going back in and making the next entry.  So I ended up adding them all individually after separating the
    URL's in my Word document.
    I hope this helps.

    I share your pain with same Intel WiFi Link 1000 bgn.  After many, many hours yesterday I am now solidly running Wireless N at 144 Mbps on a LinkSys E4200, 99% reception from 30 feet away.  
    Previous to yesterday I could not get 'N' to work at all.
    First, if you have a newer dual frequency Router, this Intel adapter only supports 2.4ghz..
    1. I am using Access Connections 5.85, Windows 7
    2. Router: 2.4 Ghz Network Mode: Mixed
    3. On my LinkSys router Channel: Auto NEVER worked for either  'G' or 'N'.  I picked channel 4 by chance and things got better.  No further experiments. 
    3. Channel Width: Auto (20mhz or 40mhz).
    4. Earlier forums indicate WPA2-P and AES must be selected.  That's what I am running.
    5. Numerous references to "power" conflicts.  Set all Power Management to Maximum Power. 
    (Control Panel -> Device Manager ->Network Adapters -> Intel WiFi Link 1000 bgn -> Power Management)
    (Access Connections -> Wireless Settings -> 4. Advanced Configuration-> Maximum Performance)
    If you followed these steps, Wireless G should be working stabily for you now.
    Now for the secret sauce to make Wireless N work:  go to http://communities.intel.com/message/82098#82098
    See Feb 3, 2010 post How to get 5100 AGN to connect at N speed?
    I am indebted to this guy.
    Save the instructions!  For some reason my EDGE 14 wireless totally quit this week and that's what sent me down this wireless rabbit hole again.  At least this time I was able to make N mode work for the first time.
    Frustrated but relieved,
    Lew

  • Steps to apply Proxy settings for all Server in a specific OU using Group Policy ?

    People,
    I have several terminal server (2008 R2) running as RDSH in an OU called Terminal Servers.
    So how can I create the GPO setting to make sure that everyone who login to this terminal server will be getting the proxy settings automatically to proxy.domain.com on port 3128 ?
    I've created the GP object and then link it directly to the Terminal Servers OU using the following options:
    User Configuration (Enabled) > Policies > Windows Settings > Internet Explorer Maintenance >
    Connection/Proxy Settings > Enable proxy settings 
    But somehow when I login as myself and DOMAIN\Administrator the proxy settings in the IE11 is still unchecked with the old Proxy value and sometimes blank in some servers.
    /* Server Support Specialist */

    > I've created the GP object and then link it directly to the Terminal
    > Servers OU using the following options:
    >
    > User Configuration (Enabled) > Policies > Windows Settings > Internet
    > Explorer Maintenance >

    User policies apply to user objects - the servers will ignore them, and
    as long as there is no user in your terminal servers OU, no one will get
    this setting.
    Link your policy to the OUs where the users are, then use item level
    targeting to filter for a security group you create for this purpose,
    and add all your terminal servers to this group. Don't forget to reboot
    the servers after changing group memberships...

  • Proxy settings not sticking

    All,
    I've got a strange issue. I have a policy set up that has a proxy server set under /User Config/Windows Settings/Internet Explorer Maintenance/Connection/Proxy Settings. That works fine. However, I'm trying to add some local web resources into the exceptions field and none of them seem to be taking.
    An example of one would be library.mydomain.org, where that domain name is merely an entry in our internal DNS server and not accessible from the outside. However, even with the policy applied, the browser is still trying to use the proxy server and ignoring the exceptions I set. I can't confirm whether those exception are in the control panel since the users associated with the policy are very locked down.
    However, I have a seperate policy for other users in which the exceptions work perfectly fine. Could the policy be corrupt?
    Also, and this is a throw in question, how do you all create your policies? I find using console 1 to be an extremely irritating and slow process. It takes up to a minute from when I close the group policy window until I get control of console 1 back. Are there any other methods for policy editing?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Contribute 4 - no proxy settings for outgoing CPS authorization

    Does CS4 have any access to proxy settings for publishing
    server identification?
    There are three outgoing requests in Contribute:
    1) FTP or SFTP --> this has a proxy setting
    2) contribute browser -> this uses proxy settings inside
    of Start->Settings->Control panel -> Internet Options
    3) HTTPS: validating CPS un/pw -> this has no proxy
    setting that I can find.

    Thank you for the quick reply! But the solution provided by you, it seems, has still not been able to address my issue. I ran the program at command prompt with your said parameters, but the download still gave an error in the App window.
    Also, is there some way of defining these parameters in the source code? I am keen in using NetBeans to run the program.

  • Access Connections wifi - maximum power savings - lenovo fix it yet?

    Same problem as reported here and it's still happening to me on all T and X series (that is all I use).
    The defualt setting is maximum power savings for the wifi profile in Access Connections. This setting eorks 25% of the time, so it's basically useless and must be changed (i use max performance). This makes it nearly impossible for people to connect to wifi hotspots outside of the ones I create for them for our offices.
    Of course the settings either change back to maximum power savings on their own, or during an Access Connections or driver update, so all hell breaks loose here.
    Please Lenovo, when the F$#* are you going to fix this?  It's only been 2 years. Should I check back in 2015?

    Is this driver setting directly tied to the "performance" setting in the Access Connections profiles? I was under the assumption that the Access Connections performance settings had more to do with WLAN radio power than powering off the radio when idle. I haven't found anything in the Lenovo Power Manager that has an effect on the behavior of the performance settings when creating new profiles in Access Connections.
    I'll test the suggestion on disabling power management for the adapter. Does anyone know off hand what impact this may have with Access Connections own tools, such as powering the adapter on and off, waking up from hybernate or suspend, etc.?

  • Access Connections 5.x.x doesn't switch proxy settings automatically - NOT SOLVED

  • WIndows 8.1 Direct Access Client Needs to approve external wifi use before it connects - proxy not responding

    Ok So I have windows 8.1 with Direct Access Client and it works fine when I am able to check and uncheck proxy settings - which is a bit of a pain and seems unnecessary (I hope). If I take the laptop to a Starbucks I get the error that the proxy server is
    not responding so it never redirects for me to "accept" the rules.
    If I uncheck my proxy settings it then redirects and connects to their internet wifi and off I go - DA connects and all is well.
    I am using a GPO to configure the proxy settings as shown (all options are greyed out for the users)

    Hi,
    Your problem is a classic one when using that kind of proxy settings, unfortunately.
    To solve this without the need of user interaction, there are two solutions that will sort this out for you. In your case, if you want to use your corporate connection for internet traffic even over da, I'd opt for alternative 1 or 2 depending on what you are
    trying to achieve.
    1. WPAD (Web Proxy Auto Discovery protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Proxy_Autodiscovery_Protocol) - it actually uses the Automatic browser configuration checkbox on your client and looks for the file wpad.dat on a specific web server that you Pointout
    with either dns-record called wpad or DHCP option 252.
    2. Auto configuration script (pac script http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config) - uses the same kind of file as above. The difference is that you get the possiblity, like you want in your scenario to target what users that should get the script.
    See this below article for more details on the options you have.
