BT Infinity activation/connection problems

Hello all,
Please help!!
As part of a house move I had the opportunity to upgrade from standard broadband to Infinity....Initially my activation date was 7th April 2014, and my TV and landline were both completed on that day. Infinity activation was put back to 14th April, and I got the text and email yesterday to say it was all ready.
I set up the HomeHub 5 as per the instructions and got the orange power light with flashing red broadband light. I tried restarting/resetting the homehub a few times with no luck, so decided to wait until after midnight.
Tried again today, same issues. Called up and spoke to someone in India, hoping for a quick fix, but could only stay on the phone for 30mins or so before heading to work. On the phone I basically got talked through all the usual stuff that I had already tried - restarting, resetting, check the socket, all of those seem to be fine.
Can anyone help me? It's already been over a week since I was supposed to be up and running and it's now getting very frustrating!
Cheers in advance

BT INFINITY AND CONNECTION PROBLEMS

Hello
I have just had BT Infinity Installed. Whilst the Wireless Connection works on a mobile phone and a Kindle, I am having trouble with my laptop. With both Chrome and Internet Explorer, I am unable to connect to the Internet at all, despite my connection to the modem being active. I am getting a DNS Server Message, "The server at www.website.com cannot be found because the DNS lookup failed."
Please can someone advise me as to how I can solve this.
Thanks.

Glad its been fixed

Internet toolkit problem - growing Active Connections list

When I built executables with G Web Server, sometimes, the list of active connections start to grow and whole system seems to stop responding for CGI calls.
Does anybody know what could be the reason.
Thanks in advance
Pawel

OK, I found it. The main part of top vi must be enclosed in a "while loop" as it is done in all Internet Toolkit examples. Then the problem is gone. I guess it is connected with the way how G web server talkes to the "CGI read request.vi".

Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well.
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

Content Server connection problems

SAP Content Server connection problems
I have installed the SAP Content Server on a Windows 2003 server. I connected to the Max DB on the remote server from Database Manager on my PC. I created repositories in R/3 in OAC0 and CSADMIN and saved documents to the Content Server. This all took a few hours from O/S install to saving a document in the repository, so I do understand the basics of the Content Server and Max DB.
Unfortunately we are not going to use Windows; we will be running this on UNIX. Therefore I'm trying it out on a Linux system while I wait for the AIX system to be available. It's been a long road but I have finally gotten the install to finish 'successfully' however I can't connect from R/3.
When I run the check http://10.XXX.YYY.ZZZ:1090/ContentServer/ContentServer.dll?serverInfo from the browser on the Linux host I get back a good status as shown below:
serverType="SAP HTTP Content Server";serverVendorId="SAP AG";serverVersion="640";serverPatch="0";serverBuild="16";pVersion="0046";serverStatus="running";serverDate="2008-03-25";serverTime="22:39:45";startUpDate="2008-03-25";startUpTime="22:32:21";lastAccessDate="2008-03-25";lastAccessTime="22:38:33";
However when I do this from any my PC it won't connect. (Of course the real problem is I can't connect from R/3.)
If I try the same URL from a different user session on the same Content Server Linux host I get the same good status.
I thought maybe the httpd.conf file was wrong so I tried:
Listen 0.0.0.0:1090
In cs.conf I tried commenting out AdminSecurity & AdminSecurityGroup.
I also changed StorageDriver from SAPDBStorage to FSStorage.
I don't know if this is related or just another problem to tackle once I can get through this one. I was not able to add the new system to the Database Manager. I get the error "-4 could not connect to socket [10060]".
Thanks to all for any help. Points will dutifully be rewarded.
David

Hi Henk,
It looks like I am dumber than a rock. The firewall was indeed active on the Linux host. I turned it off and can now do the http connection test to the Content Server. (I awarded very helpful points.)
I still can't connect to the database with the Database Manager however the message has changed; it now says "-4 XSERVER might be inactive". I just turned off the firewall so I have a few things to try, like figure out how to start MaxDB without the DB Manager. I'll post my progress. Thanks Henk.
David

Now I have installed the Database Studion on my PC. No I'm getting this message when I try to connect to the host/database on the Linux system: "Cannot connect to host 10.XXX.XXX.XXX:7210 [Connection refused: connect], -813."
Does MaxDB need to be started to connect? Any idea how to start it manually? Thanks,
David
Edited by: Dave Hill on Mar 28, 2008 1:06 AM
Ah, at long last. There's this tiny yet very important little program called x_server that SAP didn't include in the SAP Content Server install guide. This needs to be running in order for anything to connect. I'm sure most of you know about it but for the rest you can find it in:
/sapdb/programs/bin
Then type
./x_server start
I'm not sure what user it should run under but I started it as the sdb user.
You could automate the database startup with a script. See http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/e9/005dac1592496783e26133eb7fad0b/frameset.htm
Thank you Henk, I'll call this problem solved and award points.

DBCPpool Active connections / DB down

Greetings,
I seems to have a strange problem with DBCP and Oracle Connection poll mechanism. Here how it goes.
1. Get Database connection from DBCP BasicDataSource ds
ex :- conn = ds.getConnection()
2. Create a Statement from conn, conn.createStatement()
3. Get ResultSet from Statement stmt, stmt.executeSql(sql)
4. Now, Shutdown the oracle DB or disconnect the client from Server (remove the Lan cable)
5. execute one more SQL query like stmt.executeSql(sql)
6. SQL Exception is thrown at during point 5 , like 17002:I/O error
7. Exception is occurred if i close the connection, conn.close(); (Error Code 0 and message is connection is already closed)
8. At this point, DBCP is not returning the connection to ideal pool, means Connection still has active status and we can check the active status from BasicDataSource like bs.getNumActive()
I think its bug with DBCP if now I hope someone can to light to solve this issue.

I believe these are all processes on each DBs, could you please execute following query to get actual running proceses on your DB.
SELECT dbid,
DB_NAME(dbid) as DBName,
COUNT(dbid) as NumberOfConnections,
loginame as LoginName
FROM
sys.sysprocesses
WHERE
dbid > 0 and status='running'
GROUP BY
dbid, loginame
as there will be various status of processess exists on your DB.
1. does that makes a traffic load on my database? -- If the number of processes are pretty high, then apparantly this will be traffic load.
3. how can i stop / control getting that much number of active connection ? -- Try to get active connection by following command.
sp_who2 'Active'
Thanks

Interne connection problem with Macbook

I have a new 13 inch white macbook . It keeps on disconnecting with the internet . My PC laptops dont have this problem . I am using AT&T Gateway wireless modem . The macbook would show no connection and then after the diagnostics are run and the browser is closed and re-opened it connects with the internet, it is annoying . I am using safari and firefox both . The problem is more with online banks and online apparel stores not with yahoo or google.Seems the browsers are not compatible with these websites.
Please help.
Thanks

Yes, there are a few sites that are not 100% compatible with Safari OR Firefox, and work ONLY with Internet Explorer. Do the help files or instructions for your troublesome bank or merchant website(s) specify what browser(s) version(s) and operating systems they support?
Airport (wireless internet connection) problems to your network and/or wireless router are different, and 99.9% of the time, not related to browser compatibility issues.
Unpredictably connecting or disconnecting from a wireless router is a wireless networking problem, not a browser compatibility issue.
*Wireless troubleshooting:*
Can you also connect to your Mac directly to your AT&T wireless router with an Ethernet cable?
That will help you diagnose what are connectivity/network issues, versus what are browser compatibility issues. If your browser(s) work fine with the troublesome sites when directly connected by wire, then you're NOT having browser compatibility issues. Macs are picky about wireless connections. My original inexpensive 'b/g' wireless router worked fine with my older Windows XP computer and Nintendo Wii, but my MacBook kept dropping the signal every 10 minutes or so. I upgraded to a famous brand 'n' wireless router, and my problems disappeared.
*Browser Compatibility Troubleshooting*
Indications of browser incompatibility are:
Fonts that don't display correctly, such as overlapping or missing letters or words.
Wrong colors or colors that obscure some parts of the screen.
Text that displays line by line at the left margin, over colored backgrounds, instead of as a web page.
Screen display design elements are wrong, such as a color box that seems too large or small for the text displayed on it.
Some or all of the 'button' elements of the website do not respond to pointing the cursor and clicking, even after refreshing the screen, and the only solution is to closing the browser.
Look carefully at the Status Bar at the bottom of the browser so see if it displays an Errors count. (Then choose Window, Activity, to see what errors are occurring.)
If you MUST have 100% Internet Explorer compatibility on your Mac, you can always purchase Windows and IE and install it under Bootcamp, Parallels, VMWare Fusion or similar programs.
Let me know what you discover.

Php5 orcale9i connection problems

Good morning
I am experiencing an intermittent connection problem
When connecting to oracle using $oci_new_connect.
It appears that if two connections use the same username
And servicename they can interfere with each other.
I get a range of errors including OCISessionBegin: ORA-03127:
no new operations allowed until the active operation ends
and OCIFetch: ORA-01001: invalid cursor.
The problem is intermittent, the query will run
With out problem if there is only one user connected . The data is fine no
Clobs or binary stuff, just varchar2(20).
I am not using persistent connections and use the
$oci_new_connect each time. And close connection asap.
To get around this I have set up 10 different service names and
Would like to use them sequentially.
I would like to store the last used connection servicename as a
Globally available Environment variable on the windows server
Running apache.(or just a counter counting up to 10)
I can then read and increment the variable with each new connection.
Any ideaâs on the best way to achieve this.
Thanks
David

Yes, in general use the refactored OCI8 driver (i.e. use version 1.1) from
http://pecl.php.net/package/oci8 or http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_oci8.dll
A couple of connection bug fixes were merged to PHP's CVS last week.
All current source changes are at http://cvs.php.net/php-src/ext/oci8/
The connection fixes are not yet in PECL because Antony is waiting to
finalize some Collection enhancements.

Weird Slow Connectivity Problem

Hi guys
We are facing a slow connection problem and we cant seem to find an answer
as to whats happening.
Our application has
1. An app server hosting EJBs , datasources etc
2. A webserver on different box hosting servlets and command classes.
3.A Sql server 7 database on a different box.
All these boxes are on a secured network ; which means that access to them
is given on a requirement basis.
We have JSPs on the web box which get a datasource connection from the app
box to run queries against the database server.Our problem is that even to
run a very simple query ; it takes a long long time (in order of minutes)
and the same query runs lightening fast in the test environment where all
the boxes are on the same network.
We use type 4 SQL driver.We initially thought that this could be a network
problem as it doesnt make sense that the same query runs very fast on the
test boxes.But the network settings seem ok.
The network settings are this way :
Appserver box has access to database server box.
Webserver box has access to Appserver box.
So you can see that webserver doesnt have direct access to database
server.Is it needed to run queries ; since I am taking a connection from the
appserver.How does the whole business of running queries work when I take a
connection from a datasource on an app server.
I had this question posted to the BEA weblogic customer support ; but they
really couldnt help me.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Pankaj Vij

This has many possible troubleshooting paths. You don't mention if this is a workgroup or domain based Windows network. Checking the "Directory Access" settings as appropriate may yield the solution.
If this is a domain/active directory network the issue may lay with the machine account on the domain server.
Create a new user account on the Mac and see if the problem follows when you log in to that account and try to access the SMB share.
If the problem goes away, then you should look at the original user's startup items to see what might be launching at startup or simply move all files to the new user and delete the old account (not the preferred method).
If the problem persists with a second user on the same machine, then I'd take another Mac, boot it to target disk mode (laptop is good for this), using a firewire cable, boot the troublesome mac to the target mac and try to replicate the issue.
If issue persists, this is a network permissions issue on the server, if it goes away it is a local software issue on the Mac and a clean install of the OS may be needed if you can't locate the meddlesome settings/software.

Having connection problems with Mail after installing 10.9.4

I upgraded to 10.9.4 a few days ago, and ever since, I've been having connection problems with Mail. First, it stops downloading new mail automatically and second, it won't send any of my messages. When I try to send, I get a message that it is unable to connect.
Quitting Mail and restarting it seems to clear the problem, but then it happens again, maybe an hour or two later.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

BT infinity activation

I was due to have an engineer cone to set up my infinity today arriving between 1-6. At 6pm they still hadn't showed so I contacted BT and was on the phone to them for 90 minutes trying to sort it out, they informed me that the engineer had phoned and supposedly I had told them everything was sorted out and didn't need them when looking into this more it showed they had actually contacted a different person not me. I asked when they would send an engineer out and was told a new appointment would need to be made, however I took today of work for this appointment and am due to go holiday next week so could end up having to wait 4weeks. Has anyone else had the problem and what was the result, seriously contemplating going back to sky. first day with BT and already having problems, great customer services there providing, not impressed,

I just wanted to post here to recount my experiences of trying to have infinity activated in my apartment. I have explored every other avenue to try and resolve this issue but to date no progress has been made.
My partner and I have sent emails, spent at least 10 hours cumulatively on the phone with support and have waited around the house for 3 failed appointments! Only one of these bothered to send any form of notification that they wouldn't arrive. Which is the very minimum one would expect. That's 3 days off work for my partner and since she is working on a temporary contract basis, 3 days of lost wages.
I really cannot express how frustrated I am with the whole process. Support have been no help whatsoever. Yesterday we were told there is an issue with our line which needs to be resolved before this can proceed. No one could explain when that might be, what the issue was, why we were sent the equipment and given an appointment or most importantly, why we weren't informed of the error before taking the days off work?
Despite assurances, an engineer has failed to show up again today and we did not receive the promised call from support. It's been nearly 4 weeks now without any resolution or explanation from BT. I've lost all faith in the company and unless I am contacted between now and then, I am going to cancel my order as soon as I get home from work. I just thought I'd share my experience and maybe get some explanation for why we've had to waste so much time and money on this.

Connection problems with DI-SERVER 2007 & B1WS from remote machine

Hi,
Can you please help us better understand what the issue is, and how to solve it?
I am seeking to get B1WS working on remote machines.
I have built a small test application, which works fine on the server which also hosts the SQL Server instance and IIS.
When I move the application to another machine, no connection happens, and it always throws this error:
Message:
"Unable to connect to the remote server"
Inner Exception:
"No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:80"
Error Code:
10061
This configuration works:
Licensing Server: Server A
Database Server: Server B
IIS Server (B1WS): Server B
Running App: Server B
This configuration does not work:
Licensing Server: Server A
Database Server: Server B
IIS Server (B1WS): Server B
Running App: Workstation C
I have checked permissions on the web services folder, and gave Everyone all permissions. The same connection problems persists.
All help is welcome!
Thank you in advance,
Mike

Dear Michael Gurevich,
Was resolved?

[SOLVED, kind of] VPN connection problems

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem connecting to a VPN in KF5:
Until a couple days ago, I was using KDE4, and there I was still able to connect to a VPN (I'm using IPVanish), although after connecting to any VPN I always had to run the command
# ip route add default dev tun0
for the NetworkManager to actually use the connection.
However, now with KF5, this doesn't seem to work anymore. All my VPN connections are listed in the applet, and connecting to any fo them also seems to work (it takes a few second, then the VPN connection is added to the "Active Connections" section), however, all my network traffic still goes through my "normal" connection. Running the above command after connecting to a VPN doesn't change anything.
Here is the log of NetworkManager, I can't spot anything unusual:

I'd be thankful for any hint or tip!
Edit:
Okay, I figure out a way to use VPN:
NetworkManager somehow appears to have some problems with OpenVPN. I tried to set up a connection using PPTP (both are offered by the provider), and it works right away without doing any additional work.
It's not really a solution to the above problems, but it solves the issue for me...

Try going to www.whatismyip.com whilst it works, then double check when it doesn't. Router might be having its 'heartbeat' and changing IP's. Going to a static might work, or using something like dyndns.
Also, find out whay port your VPN uses then to to www.canyouseeme.org to check you can be seen from the outside world, if not, then could be port forwarding issue.
Both of these are kind of unlikely seeing as it is a daily thing that happens at the same time, however they would be worth checking just to make sure.
Just my two cents

BT Infinity and VPN problems

Hi
Can someone please help me. I am completely non-technical, so any responses need to be idiot proof or I won't understand.
I recently changed from Sky to BT Infinity because of slow Internet speed.
I often work from home. The computer is government property so VERY secure. I believe there is something called a VPN connection??
When I had Sky I had no connection problems. Since BT installed their system I cannot connect to the Internet (Wireless or via Ethernet cable). My personal devices all work OK, so BT say it is my work equipment that is at fault.
Our technical dept at work say that the laptop is fine, so they can do nothing, and it must be BT that has the problem.
I tested the connections in the office and my computer is fine. So my router is fine and my computer is fine, but they don't seem to 'see' each other.
Now the weird bit. When I search for networks in my area I can see mine as well as two others in the vicinity. Mine is password protected and I cannot connect to it. The two others are not password protected and I can connect through them. I do not want to piggyback onto my neighbour's broadband.
How do I get my computer to connect to my laptop?
Thanks in advance.

If you change the wireless encryption on the home hub 3 to WPA only, that may help. Its possible that the laptop drivers are out of date, and cannot cope with WPA2 or mixed WPA2/WPA.
