Access Connections main service stops randomly

Hi all,
I have a T60 at work with the latest version of Access Connections. Over the last few weeks, my Access Connections will randomly show that it disconnects in my system tray. However, I am still connected to my company's network. Our tech group came out and said that they are seeing instances of the Access Connection Main service just stopping randomly. When I go into Services, I can verify that it has stopped. This happens anywhere from 20-60 mins after logging onto our network. It also only happens when I am docked to my docking station, not when I am wireless. If I have a tech remote into my machine and restart the service, it starts up just fine again.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing the service to stop like this? It doesn't present a problem if I stay docked...but if I undock and try to go wireless, it doesn't do the auto switching because it's frozen...so I always have to reboot.

Hi,
in this situation make following:
- go to services and open Properties of both AC Services and in the Recovery tab set all 3 options to "Restart the Service"
- In case this should not change the situation, then go to "Log On" tab and select "This account" and insert your name and password.
In this situation would be also good to check the Event log if there is any notice, why the Service stopped working.
Any info is appreciated.
Cheers

Essbase Service stops randomly

Essbase Service stops automatically, this stops the Essbaseapplications. When I restart the applications they get into FreeSpace recovery taking more time to complete blocking the useraccess to the other application. EssbaseService Error: 997, Shutting down Essbase service.. thanks Ramesh

What version of Essbase? Are you using App Mgr or Essbase Administration Services, and do you have PC Anywhere?

What's wrong with my Access Connections?

Can u help me? When I upgrade the Access Connections to v5.61, I can't get into the Access Connections.
Symptom 1: the process is running in the task manager, but no user interface comes out.
Symptom 2: when I choose the profile of wireless network, it can't work normally - the status is "Limited or No Connectivity".
The related services are running:
Access Connections Main Service
Ac Profile Manager Service
Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Event Log
Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Registry Service
Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Service
There is nothing wrong with the drivers and the hardware, coz I can use Windows configuration to make it work well. So what happened when I upgrade the Access Connections and how to fix it?

Hi,
the hint to uninstall Access Connection is something irrelevant.
However, of course it's your decision.
The basis is, that of course you have to upgrade all the apps and drivers like:
Power Manager
Power Management dirver
System interface driver
Hetkey features
Wifi driver
Once this is done, of course restart the system.
Make sure, that the AC services are running and the "Windows Zero Configuration" and "Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0" windows services are also started.
For your situation, also try to go into %programfiles%\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities and try to start following files:
ACMainGUI.exe
Access Connections.exe
The "Access Connections.exe" is the original file, that should by default start. The second one should work, if you can see it there.
Also please make sure, the you have .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed and configured for your system.
NOTE to the persons, who are writing to uninstall Access Connection: Please don't place such notes, as this does not belong to this kind of forum. Valuable informations are of course appreciated.
Cheers

Access Connection Suddenly stopped working...

Hello,
Access Connection application version: 5.42
Build: 6JC725WW
I have a T400 with Win7 64 bit. Everything has been working fine since new, juat about a month. Today for no apparent reason the Access Connection application drops my wireless connection about 1 minute after I turn on the laptop. It shows all green bars as it has since new and works just fine for about a minute then the screen blinks, goes black for a fraction of a second then comes back with the green bars all grfay and a red circle and line on top of the wireless icon. The task bar as the bottom of the screen also turns light gray.
The Access Connections application shows no available wireless networks where before there were at least a dozen from around my neighborhood.
Here's the strange part, about 3 minutes later after this happens the laptop screen blinks again, the light gray task bar turns back to normal and I get a wireless connection via "Windows Wireless Service". The other strange thing is the connection name is the same as my location profile but with a "2" after it. It was "Indy" and now in the OS wireless configuration it shows the connection as "Indy 2".
Anyone know what might be going on here? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figoure out why the Access Connection application has stopped working correctly.
One other thing, the wireless connection is working as I'm submitting this post on the machine in question. What's odd is when I do an FN F5 to turn the wireless "on" or "off" the window that appears clearly shows that the radio is "off". Attempts to turn it on only close the window but doing an FN F5 again clearly shows it is still off. How could it be off if I'm able to browse the internet and see my home network?
There seems to be a problem with this ThinkVantage Access Connection application. Can I uninstall it? I'm not really a big fan of running software that "sort-of" works and it appears this app is buggy.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi!
Because the AP WAP200 are powered with POE, all clients may losts connection at the same time only for an electrical failure on the SF302 switch. Check your hardware and ensure that the power supply is working properly. Check also the connection cable to the power line and to the switch

Latest versions of Power Manager and Access Connections got borked.

I have a T60p running a fully patched XP SP2, model 2007CS3, and I work for IBM. I'm posting this because our internal IT support team has no clue how to fix this.
I updated Power Manager to 1.52 when it had initially released, and since then it always fails with an error in pwmuictl.dll, however the taskbar indicator is working properly. So I have to rely on Windows' built in power management only.
Couple of days back I updated the ethernet drivers to 9.12.41.1001 as in the latest package listed on the site.
After that Access Connections 5.2 stopped working- the AcSvc service would fail on startup and subsequent restarts.
I rolled back the ethernet driver to the previous version- uninstalled the device and reinstalled specifying the older drivers- to no avail.
After a lot of struggle I downgraded it to version 4.23 that is used internally- and now my LEAP based wifi does not work. If I create a new connection profile- Access Connections craps out after filling in wifi security parameters. I reset my LEAP password and tried again- it still does not connect.
So effectively, updating the ethernet drivers turned out to be a big mistake. I hope someone can help, if you need additional information/screenshots let me know.

Hello Martin,
you have AC 5.02 instead 4.52 installed, like your screenshot shows.
Some user have been experienced problems with this version and the version of new Powermanager.
So if your system runs satisfactionally then there is no need to update.
I would roll back and see if your program became operationally again.
Kind regards
Andreas

Another service stops

Have one of my dsfw servers (oes11) that just yesterday or today
started having a dsfw service stop randomly.
Doing an xadcntrl validate shows:
Checking for RPC Endpoint Mapper Service is unused
Doing a reload usually gets it going again, but sometimes other
services end up not starting & then it takes a reboot to get everything
going again.
Suggestions?

Hi Stevo,
Is this on the server where DNS/novell-named cuts off every so often? And ifso, did you try adding the "-n 1" switch as per previous thread?

Thinkvantage "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working

My new computer is a T400 running Windows 7 (lenovo disk installed after purchase) .
While it still connects to the internet through the Windows(?) "open network and sharing center the Thinkvantage Technologies "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working. It worked fine for a while (4-6 weeks).
Any ideas on how to get it started again?
Thanks
John

Thank you for your reply. I'm just not sure what "it" to uninstall or where to get the new "it" to download. Would you mind adding those details for me? I appreciate your help

Services stop at restart, router restart or randomly

On 10.7.2 Server DHCP, DNS, Netboot, Web and Open Directory services stop (as seen in Server Admin/Server.app) and are unable to be restarted. If I try to restart them I don't get an error message, but the indicator resolutely remains grey (instead of green).
I can make this problem happen by:
restarting the server
restarting the switch/router that runs the whole school
It also happens pseudo randomly.
To fix the problem I need to:
Unplug the main router and our internet ADSL box
Shut down the Server
Cuss.
Plug the main router/switch in
Plug in the internet box
Wait for a minute or so
Turn on the server
This is far, far less than ideal. I'm happy to grab error messages from console if that helps - but give me an indication for what service you'd like it from.
Perhaps you can tell me if this is a conflict somewhere - a bug, or something I can fix. It's driving me crazy.
Cheers,
Glen.

Hi Fabrizio,
why do you want to reboot your server every sunday?????
If you reboot your SAP this often, you'll have performance problems every Monday. All
of your SAP internal Buffers must be filled again after an reboot. If your DB is on the
same Host, also your DB Buffer is empty.
If this is an productive System, i highly recommend you that you not reboot your SAP System this often....
(By side, thats the difference between an *nix and an Windows System.).
What is the reason for doing that?
confused

Device is connected to to a wifi network but does not have access to Blackberry services over wifi connection

please help me, my blackberry curve has been working perfectly fine (everything network and wifi connection are working great) since i got it but all of the sudden when i connect to our wifi at home i noticed that the wifi logo on the upper screen is grayed out. i checked the manual and it says: device is connected to to a wifi network but does not have access to Blackberry services over wifi connection. i dont know what to do, i tried the hard reset (removed batt for 1 min while phone is on and put it back in) i also tried to remove the wifi profile and added it back up but still nothing seems to work, my service provider has BB services available on my phone, i can received BBM, pushed email, use FB on my phone using my network but i cant use my wifi to browse.. what should i do? help me please!

With a PC, the Windows Firewall and/or the anti-virus software will sometimes block an attempted Internet connection.
Check both applications to see if you can find a "blocked" item and then take steps to "allow" the connection.
If still no luck, temporarily disable the wireless security for a short period to see if the PC can connect that way. If it can.....then you know it is security related issue.
See if the PC can connect using a setting like WPA-PSK-TKIP. The equivalent Apple setting would be WPA/WPA2 Personal.

Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming. I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected. Any ideas? Router? ATV dying?

Apple TV 2 all of a sudden has trouble streaming. I stream from my desktop computer's iTunes for movies, and tonight it started stopping randomly mid movie and saying it wasn't connected. Any ideas? Router? ATV dying?
It just says not connected, and as soon as it bails to menu, it connects again and will play for another minute before doing the same thing all over again.

Hello David,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your Apple TV is having trouble streaming videos from iTunes on your computer. This symptom could have a variety of causes, and I'd suggest the following initial troubleshooting steps.
In addition to restarting your devices (Apple TV, computer, router), try the tips in this article, starting with "Check your home network:"

All the best,

Allow a user access to start and stop a particular service in Solaris 11 using RBAC controls

So, using svcbundle I created a service called "oracle" that starts and shutdown a db. I'm aware of how to grant RBAC access to be a "service operator" to be able to control start/stop ALL services. But I'd like to grant a user access to start and stop JUST this service.
in this document on page 15, it states that it's possible to do this kind of granularity but doesn't explain how to do it step by step.
how does one achieve this?
thanks.

You need to add a property group such as
<property_group name='general' type='framework'>

<propval name='action_authorization' type='astring'
value='solaris.smf.manage.oracle' />
</property_group>
Then add the solaris.smf.manage.oracle authorization to the user profile.
As an example, see Less known Solaris features: RBAC and Privileges - Part 2: Role based access control - c0t0d0s0.org

Close your SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Open SSMS by right clicking Run as Administrator and then try to login to Integration Services.

How to stop Access Connections from automatically connecting to WAP at turn on or restart?

I had a problem with my X200 winxp sp3 wireless connection. I got it working OK again but in the process I did something that changed the action of Access Connections when I turn on or restart the machine where it automatically connects to the WAP whereas before it did not do this, rather it required a manual connection. For the life of me I can't find the setting that controls this behavior...can anyone point me in the right direction.
thanks for any feedback
*Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

Might not answer completely, but what is your "profile" set to? I have a "profile" called Office that wll only use the "hardwire" LAN Connection. I have another "profile" called Mobile that will only use the Intel Wireless card, yet another that is "HSPA Modem" that will only use the AT&T wireless card.
Could it be that your "profile" is set to use just your Wireless Connection?
Just a thought -
