Access Connections Upgrade/Verizon Aircard 5750 No Longer Usable

I have a Verizon 5750 which has always worked really well and has never had any configuration problems. I used the Verizon software to connect to the wwan.
I tried making a profile for it in Access Connections, but it doesn't connect. I am not entirely sure I have the connection setup correctly though, and I can't find the instructions to create the rofile beyond the fact that I can do so.
Verizon isn't of any help because the error is a "Windows error".
My company doesn't support these connections as such.
While it is true an error 720 is a Windows error, I think that either the card needs to be reactivated, or I am missing a setting somewhere that is not readily apparent.
I would get another card, but I suspect from what I am seeing on the web that I would still have the same problem.
Does anyone know the fix for this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, I don't blame you. Being in an IT support organization myself I can well understand that there is no way any one team is going to cover everything.
It just so happens that in this case I can tell you what the fix is, figuring out the RC is actually the hardest part of this problem. I can give you my setup and what fixed the problem in my case.
Software: AT&T Global Dialer - ThinkVantage Connections 4.2
Windows: XP SP-2
Hardware: T60 with standard 11a/b/g Wireless Lan Mini PCI Express Adapter
Original Problem: Mandatory corporate push upgrade of ThinkVantage Connections caused various problems with AT&T Dialer and network connectivity overall. General Windows Errors include Error 6 and Error 720 indicating that the adapters are not binding.
Real Problem: AT&T Dialer was uninstalled. (Rumor has it that the uninstaller for AT&T Dialer may not always complete an uninstall cleanly) If the program does not uninstall "right" it will corrupt the RAS files.
I searched the web and found the information and download that fixed my problem. There is an obscure MS Windows Utility named RAS Repair (rarepair.exe).
Here is the link I found points to the utility:
http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windows-xp-network/2711/Trying-to-locate-the-program-rarepai...
I ran the file and it fixed my problem immediately with no periphial impacts to programs etc.
Will this fix all 720 or 6 errors? I don't know, and obviously I take no responsibility I am only saying that it fixed my problem.

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

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>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]</td></tr>

I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade

I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade in early August. Windows 7 Ultimate/x64.
It stops connecting to WPA2 Enterprise (AES-CCMP), Microsoft PEAP, no server cert, with any credentials I try to use. The same account(s) works with native Intel manager on other notebooks and on mobile devices. I lost the wireless connectivity to enterprise WiFi network.
And, after deinstallation of Access Connections, the inability to connect keeped intact with native Win7 WiFi management.
I think, something was broken in Access Connections 5.83 Build 83C753WW and some registry settings/ dll modules were altered but not returned to normal after deinstall.

Access Connections is definitely broken for WPA encryption. Both versions 5.02 and 5.84 fail for me. If I use the Windows XP wireless configuration instead of Access Connections, everything works.
Does anyone know how to report this to Lenovo? I chased links around the web site but couldn't find a place.

Service Pack 3 (XP) Access Connections can no longer associate w. wireless AP

T61p with Atheros/Lenovo ABG card. Installed XP SP3. Access Connections can no longer associate with my access point. I uninstalled Access Connections and enabled Windows Configuration. Same problem. Reinstalled Access Connections, same problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Which version of the Lenovo drivers are you using for your laptop?
I have a sneaky feeling that SP3 installed a "newer version" wifi driver and didn't quite tell you. In fact, during one of my updates at MS (for XP-SP2) the Atheros wifi drivers got on a list of "drivers to be updated". I unchecked the selection before the MS update "installed a newer version of the driver". This could potentially be the issue that's preventing the wifi card from communicating with a wifi manager properly. If that's the case, the best bet would be to try "disabling" the Wireless LAN in Device Manager completely, uninstall all wifi-related drivers and reboot.
Let's troubleshoot a bit further. I would suggest this - it's a bit of a procedure, but you'll find out what's going on...
There are two other possibilities for you to try:
1) Use Atheros Client Utility - keep Lenovo wifi drivers (this is less intrusive):
- Forget about AC or Zero Wireless, and install the Atheros Wifi Manager instead - it's called "Atheros Client Utility". Often the case can be resolved by using a "native" wifi manager for a "native" card (Atheros - Atheros). Access Connections is a great tool, but if you do make full use of all the features, then it's a bit of an overkill for the regular user.
- uninstall AC, disable Zero Wireless.
- Install Atheros Client Utility
- you can get the Atheros Client Utility from here or here (don't install the drivers when prompted, just the Client Utility)
- see if that works.
2) Use stock Atheros drivers with the MS Zero Wireless instead of Lenovo wifi drivers
- only issue here is that the Fn-F5 feature will not enable/disable your wifi card. (Lenovo drivers are tweaked for precisely this purpose). Point is, however, that you want to troubleshoot where the problem lies, so this may be worthwhile.
- Uninstall the Lenovo Wifi drivers as well as the AC program (you can retain your profiles as an option during uninstall process of AC),
- then install a stock Atheros-based wifi driver (if you need a link I'll post it here), then try to see if Windows wifi manager (Zero wireless) will "see" any AP's. If it does, then it means something's up with either AC or Lenovo wifi drivers, or both. If it still doesn't see it, then something inclued in SP3 could be to blame and more thorough (re)search would be required.
Otherwise, you may also want to take a peek at MSDN forums to see if others are experiencing Wifi issues due to SP3.

Time too long for refresh a BO document in remote access connection

Hello,
One hour to refresh a bo document (.rep) in remote access connection with openvpn or cisco vpn behind a livebox or a 3G key while this take one minute in local network environment...
For information BO is on a vmware virtual machine and the database is on a iséries as400.
Thank's for your help

BO has no controls over VPN or network bamdwith, it takes what OS and DB drivers give it.
You'll need to identify at which point of the workflow to refresh the report the slowness is occuring.
You'll need to enable webi tracing and see how long the actual refresh take.
You'll need to enable network traces to see where in the network the slowdown is occuring.

Access Connections Ethernet Location Switching only saves one port at a time

Like many other people, I cannot get automatic location switching between two Ethernet networks to work properly.
I have two stored network locations; one for home and one for work. Both of these are set up as Best Available Network with both Ethernet and Wireless.
Under Tools - Location Switching, both networks are listed, and "Include Ethernet connections in automatic switching and prompt me to save Ethernet ports" is checked. However, in the details column, the current location has 1 saved port(s), and the other has 0 saved ports. The saved port is always the one most recently connected.
If I go to Edit Saved Ports, only one location is listed, with the correct IP address and MAC address for the router. If I connect at the other location, only that location is listed, again with the correct IP address and MAC address.
The router IP addresses are different (work is 192.168.0.1, and home is 192.168.1.254), and obviously the MAC addresses are different, so it should be possible for Access Connections to distinguish them. Unfortunately the only "editing" that is possible is to delete the saved port. I would be happy to add a saved port manually, but that is not an option. In addtion, despite the "...prompt me to save Ethernet ports" being checked, I have never received a prompt. Even if I delete the saved port, it resaves automatically next time without any prompt.
I have also tried setting up both locations as Ethernet only, but have exactly the same problem.
My T520 was supplied with Access Connections 5.85 preinstalled. I tried upgrading to 5.97 in the hope that it had been fixed in the meantime. Unfortunately it has not.
Access Connections is still marginally useful to me for automatic switching between Wireless and Ethernet, and for a simple manual switch of settings such as default printer, home page, and file sharing. However, it would be very useful for the home and work locations to be autodetected and switched.
From the number of unresolved questions on this board on the same topic, it appears that this is a long standing deficiency with Access Connections. Is there any chance of this being fixed?

I found from another bulletin board that ethernet location switching seemed to work OK with Access Connections 3.82, but stopped working with releases after that, and from my experience still does not work with 5.97
http://www.thinkpads.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=38514
Two questions:
1. Does anyone know if Access Connections 3.82 works with Windows 7?
2. If so, where could I get a copy? The oldest version on the Lenovo website appears to be 5.50
I will refrain from commenting on the necessity of going back to such an old version to recover basic functionality for this utility......

Access connections Windows 8

Ever since I upgraded my Thinkpad W520-4270 CTO to Windows 8 I`ve been having a lot of issues with my wireless network adapter. When upgrading, I was asked to uninstall "Access connections". I keep getting notifications from the Windows Action center to contact Lenovo support to resolve an issue related to Access connections software.
Here`s some information on the issue:
1) Whenever I restart my computer I cannot connect to my wireless network. It says "Connecting" and after a few minutes changes to "This is taking longer than expected". Also, the "Disconnect" button doesnt work.
2) I can fix this issue by going to "C:\DRIVERS\WIN\WLANINT" and repairing the driver installation. However, sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it working.
3) At random times, the internet disconnects and I have to repeat this process.
I still have warranty for my Windows8 software so if this problem could be solved at their end, please let me know what I should ask them specifically.
My 1-year Lenovo warranty has just expired so I would really appreciate any help I could get.

Hi, AlxD
Has Access Connections been fully removed from your system? I would make sure that it is, just to make sure that is not causing any issues. I would then suggest to update both your BIOS and your wireless drivers have been updated. The latest version of BIOS can be found here and the latest wireless driver can be found here.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Access Connections Ver 5.30

Hardware
Original description: Based on 1951-43U: T1300(1.6GHz), 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, Intel 950, CDRW/DVDRW, 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, 9c Li-Ion batt.
Software:
OS : Windows XP SP3
Having recently updated Access Connections from 4.52 to ver 5.30 on a Thinkpad T60, I've noticed that when I create a new wireless profile with WPA encryption then Access Connections fails to connect unless you disable encryption on the router.
I had a Wireless profile previously configured before I migrated to Ver 5.30 and if I use this profile then Access Connections connects up to the LAN fine. My system is using the latest HotKey,Power management and Wireless drivers (see list below)
- Hotkey Driver Version 2.11.0001
- Power Management driver Version:1.52
- ThinkPad 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter v7.4.2.134
I've since tried uninstalling AC (removing profiles) and tried reinstalling AC via a fresh install and still cannot connect to Wireless LAN with WPA encryption enabled. I've also noticed that the
Ctrl+FN5 key does not allow you to turn off the Wireless radios and simply turns on/off the Bluetooth radio when pressed.
Has any one encountered any similar issues and if so, can anyone provide guidance on how to resolve this issue?.

Rahul,
I haven't exactly figured out a solution. However, since then I have upgraded to Windows 7 and am using a combination of Lenovo Windows 7 beta drivers and Lenovo Windows Vista drivers and I no longer have this issue.
Hopefully someone at Lenovo will see this and realize the Windows XP drivers are broken and fix them.

Access Connections 5 and up issues

Hi,
For years our organization has been using Access Connections 4.52 flawlessly. Recently we purchased a boat load of R500 notebooks. At this point, we were forced to upgrade to version 5.20 as 4.52 will not recognize the wireless card.
With 4.52, when a client would boot up wireless and attempt to login to our network , Access Connections would pop up, then attempt the login only AFTER it has connected to the network. With 5.20, 5.33 and 5.50, this function seems to work ok until I sysprep the image.
After I sysprep our image, this is what happens: User boots up wireless and attempts to login to our network....gets and error stating "OURDOMAIN is not available"....15 seconds later Access Connections wakes up and connects to the wireless network. Now, here is the really dumb part. I can resolve the issue on my image by opening Access Connections > Location Profiles > Select Profile > Edit > OK. Access Connections will now behave properly, until I sysprep.
Is there any solution out there for this? Or even better, is there a way I can make 4.52 work on a newer model. 4.52 did not have this issue.
Thanks
Rosy

Hi,
I cannot see it being fair, to blaim Access Connection for situation, that is clearly not caused by Access Connection.
In the past I was working with multiple corporate images, which I of course had to create, which included syspreping the image. And I can tell you, that sysprepping a 100% working image is always, and I really mean ALLWAYS screwing up some part of the image. If you have been doing images for longer time, then surelly you will be agreed with me.
If you are not, then you have not created enough images manually (I mean starting with the times of RIS, going through WDS, IUB, SCCM .... ).
So much for understanding, where to look when you are looking for the root cause.
So Access Connection is a tool, that depends on other applications and driver. Almost the same as by all other TVT applicaitons. For Access Connection it's highly important, that it's installed in following order together with other tools/drivers:
1) Power Managerment driver
2) Power Manager
3) System Interface driver
4) Hotkey utility/driver
5) LAN Driver
6) WLAN driver
7) WWAN driver
8) Access Connection
It's highly important, that this order is kept.
So back to the imaging, here is what might happen, when you sysprep the image:
- you sysprep it, where some parts (usually ini files) are remoted from the dirver installed on the machine.
- of course you configure the sysprep to load up all the drivers depending on the HW, or some input from the client
- this will load everything back and inclusiv all the drivers
ISSUE:
- WLAN, driver is installed/inicialized after Access Conenction was present in the image
- by syspreping some of the above menitoned applications from Lenovo are taken as drivers and therefore, they are re-installed only after sysprep kicks-in
I'm pretty sure, that you know, how you install you image and by some points you might not be agreed with what I'm writing, but I was working with the informations, that I could find in your description.
I think more description on the sysprep, or the imaging tool and structure might help me imagine, what is goin on.
BTW: I just remembered, that by olders versions of AC 2.x and 3.x when such issue was present, like also LAN was not detected and all this happened after I installed a corporate image, then my fix for the image was quite simple:
Reinstall all the above drivers + apps in the order as you can see it in here .
Cheers
