Accessing Home Hub 4 with windows 8.1 and Internet...

Hello
I can no longer access my home hub manager wirelessly running windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 from my toshiba laptop by either typing in the IP address or by http://bthomehub.home/. I can still access it by either method from a laptop running windows XP. I have Infinity and Home Hub 4a. This problem has arose recently and I did upgrade from windows 8 last week so could this be the problem. Has anyone any suggestions?
Regards
Adrian

Seems to be a Network Adapter problem for most people, and usually updating the driver works.
If you have just installed 8.1/8.1 pro, you will typically need to install your motherboard and other driver software. After you have done this, most people can access the internet, but have problems with the bt hub ip/url access link.
To update the Network Adapter(s) use the following steps:
1. search for Device Manager, and open it up
2. Select/expand Network adapters, and the adapter(s) on your machine should show up.
3. Right click on the adapter(s) that appear and select 'Update Driver Software'
4. It should come up with 2 options - select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
5. The next screen should come up with the default location for your machine, so just click the next button on the bottom right of this window.
6. Your network adapter(s) will appear, and just select 'update driver software' and the latest version will be installed.
7. That should fix most problems right away - if not, your machine (including hub and router) may need switched off and back on.
I can't guarantee it will fix every problem, but the most common problem seems to be that the latest network adapter drivers needs a manual update after installing 8.1/8.1 pro, even after you install your motherboard / ethernet drivers.
If you still experience problems accessing bt hub or internet, you can try this additional step:
1. On your keyboard press Start + X keys (or microsoft logo key + X)
2. This should open up system options dialogue box at the bottom left of your screen.
3. Select Command Prompt (Admin) option.
4. In command screen (old DOS screen) type the following: ipconfig /release (there is a space between config and /)
5. This will release your ip address back into the network and cut your connection (don't worry)
6. Whilst still in command screen, flush the dns cache - type: ipconfig /flushdns (space here again also)
7. type exit to get out of command screen.
8. Switch off your pc, and switch it off at the wall, also switch off router & bthub.
9. Wait a few mins before flicking switches back on at the wall only - dont switch on pc yet - wait a min or so then switch on pc.
10. You may need to run through the updating network adapter drivers again from the steps at the top - although this should not be needed.

  • Can I add additional link to "Other links" section of TFS web access home hub page

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add additional links to Other link section of TFS web access home hub page?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hazeq.

    >Do you see any issues if I modify this page? What will happen when TFS updates happens, there are no issue in these scenarios? Currently
    I have TFS 2013 with update 4.
    I didn't see any issue. but when you need to upgrade your tfs, your website also need to be upgrade.
    so I think the code you made will disappear.
    >Can I also use Jquery over here? How should I add jquery library reference?
    sure, you can do everything you want with jquery. just copy it into the sub-folder and reference it.
    !!!Backup your website before you update the code.

  • Very slow Access 2002 query with Windows 7

    I need help troubleshooting consistently slow queries in an Access 2002 database with Windows 7.
     I’m running a temporary query in a local copy of a back end database with only tables. The identical query will take just 2-3 seconds with Windows XP but 30-60 seconds with Windows 7. Multiple Windows 7 workstations are all slow and
    all Windows XP machines run the query quickly.  I even used JetShowPlan on both workstations to compare and the plans are identical. Two tables are involved with rushmore used on the first and a full scan on the second table of about 150,000 records.
    Even in XP Mode on the Windows 7 machine the query still takes only about 10 seconds. Anyone have any ideas why Access/Jet on Windows 7 can be so slow? Thanks for any ideas.

    Hi Tony,
    Thanks for the pointer - I had found that one earlier and tried it - did not help.  I think the HP ProtectTools Security Manager is Normally loaded
    on Laptops - my problem is on Workstation.  I did a test of 2007 Access in the Virtual XP Mode window - There is works 'normally'. 
    To give you an idea how Slow a query in 2007 access/W7 is;
    I started a search for part numbers with 'busbar' in their description...
       on W7 - Database is LOCAL to WS and upgraded to Office 2007
    I then opened an XP Mode window
    Opened the 2007 Access DB to the 'normal' database located on fileserver.
    enter the same Part search
    counted to 10 - 19 Parts found
    Closed DB
    Closed XP Mode window
    Waited about 2 minutes... same 19 parts found....  Wonderful!
    I will wait till my MS Rep can get me in line for the Hot fix or MS releases it.  Till then I will teach the Users how to Use XP Mode.

  • Can't access home sharing with current Apple ID info

    I can't access Home Sharing with my current Apple ID info. But I can access the discussions forum with my current Apple ID info though. This is very strange. Anyone having this problem? I tried turning on the Home Sharing function in the iTunes Advanced menu, but to no avail because it won't accept my current Apple ID info. I have the ATV2 model.
    Message was edited by: Charles Swaim

    My ATV 2 can get view movies from Netflix and Youtube without a problem, but when there's a need to use my Apple ID for the Home Sharing function -- from either my Mac or the ATV 2 -- it won't work. It's weird how my Apple ID can access this discussion group without a problem, but can't engage the Home Sharing. I'll see if there's another update available for the ATV 2. Hopefully that might help. Many thanks for trying to help.

  • Error -54 with windows 8.1 and iOS 7.1.2

    I tried adding two albums to my iTouch 5 with windows 8.1 and recently updated my iTouch's OS to version 7.1.2. I keep getting the error -54, saying it couldn't be synced but it still keeps sycing and comes up a lot. I tried restoring my iTouch and restarting my laptop, can anyone help?

    That's weird. Here it is in full.
    It may be too late for you to try what I did, but by the looks of it, it will be viewed many times going forward.
    I noticed I was having the problem with songs that had been in WMA format but converted by iTunes. From what I read, this error is actually about permission issues for the files. I tried changing the permissions on the directory and cascade them to each file, but that didn't work. Reading more, one user got around the problem by zipping the problem files and use the files from the zip to sync. That worked for them. I tried that and it didn't work. Then I just figured there is some residual setting either on the iPad or in iTunes that was still hosing me.
    I'd gotten pretty annoyed by this time so I figured I have to start with a clean slate. I reset the iPad to factory condition. I then went to windows restore and selected the restore point prior to installing iTunes. I then went thru the painful process of setting everything up again. Once I was installed and let the music be added to iTunes, I went thru and "unchecked" everything I didn't care if it went to the iPad. That was frustrating since I didn't actually have any check boxes showing. Since I was going to exclude whole albums, I did a right click on one in iTunes and there was an option in the context menu to uncheck the box. I did this for all the unwanted albums At this point, I connected the iPad and it was recognized. I went to the page to set up the syncing options. I tried to do it manually, but that was going to be a huge pain so I did the automatic sync and check the box to NOT sync unchecked items.
    Finally, it started to work. I still got about 15 of the error -54 messages. I just clicked it away and the syncing continued.Since I had nearly 2000 songs transfer, I don't know which caused the error but I now have music on my iPad.
    It's a lot of work, but I finally got the results I wanted. Hope this helps.

  • Lync Server 2010 conference not working with Windows 8.1 and IE 10

    Hello,
    The problem is that whenever a Windows 8.1 user tries to join a Lync server 2010 conference using Internet Explorer 10 (or 11, tried that too) the user can't join the conference. If the conference is created by a Lync server 2013 user joining works fine.
    When using Lync 2010 client we get the following error in the client: "error id 87 source id 7".
    When using Lync 2013 client we end up with a blank conversation window.
    There are no traces in server log, client log or event log.
    Below is a set of use cases that may help you to understand what is the problem scenario. Each of these works or does not work with both Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 client.
    - Lync server 2010 conference, windows 7, Chrome, Firefox, IE 10 or 11 --> Works.
    - Lync server 2010 conference, windows 8.1, IE 10 or 11 --> Does not work.
    - Lync server 2010 conference, windows 8.1, Chrome or Firefox --> Works.
    - Lync server 2013 conference, windows 8.1, Chrome, Firefox, IE 10 or 11 --> Works.
    It does not help to add the meet address to IE compatibility list (Compatibility View Settings).
    If i press F12 in IE and change the document mode of the meet page to IE 9 version then i can join meetings with Windows 8.1 and IE 10. Unfortunately i cannot make that as a default setting for the meet website.
    Any ideas on how to get Lync server 2010 meetings working with Windows 8.1 and IE 10 or 11?
    IE is the company default browser. Windows 8.1 is not a default operating system but we have increasing number of Windows 8.1 computers in our environment (mainly directors).

    According to your description, it is hard to tell whether the issue is related with IE or Lync Server 2010 or both.
    Compare the log when Lync client on Window 8.1 with IE 10 or IE 11 join Lync server 2010 conferencing and Lync Server 2013 conferencing.

  • HT1349 I just purchased  new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

    I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to.  How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

    Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this.  I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes.  I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you.  I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud.  So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out.  There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service.  As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough.  Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree.  But thank you for reading and replying.

  • Scanning with windows 8.1 and laserjet 3050

    I have had my Laserjet 3050 for many years and all printer functions have worked well for that time using Windows XP.  I have two new computers now. One with Windows 8.1 and the other a Mac with OS 10.9.  I am able to print with the LaserJet from either computer but unable to scan to saving to computer on either computer.  I have checked for HP updates and new drivers but no success.  UIn XP I would go to the Start menu and then programs to the HP folder and there I would click on scan.  There is no such program or application or HP folder on new either computer.  The Windows 8.1 will not read the installation disc that came with the Laserjet 3050.  What do I have to do to be able to scan and save to computer?  

    OK, I figured out how to scan in Windows 8.1 but still unable to do it in OS10.10.  I can print to Laserjet.  My LaserJet 3050 is recognized in System Preferences/Printers & Scanners but to scan my LaserJet and Mac don't see each other.  I am not able to find an app to do this function.  How do I correct this?
