Cable down

I purchased a sun ultra 5 used that is supposed to have solaris 8 on it. When I try to boot from the disk it begins to boot and then I get a :
SUNW,hme0: No response from ethernet network: Link down--cable problem? followed by a
Starting IPv4 routing daemon.
starting rpc services:rpcbind keyserverSUNW,hme: No response from ethernet network.
Can someone tell me what this means and more importantly, how to remedy it? Thanks .

Hi,
If you havn't plugged in something into the hme0 intefrace, this error will occour...
it only tells you that your hme0 is not able to set up a connection, so this is a standalone computer. if you would plug in a working network patch it should dissappear (this message)

  • Cable down on the ground

    My Internet and Cable TV wire from the power pole to the house came down in a thunder storm and is laying on the ground. I'm having trouble contacting you all. Please help, give me a No. that works.

    I apologize for the trouble you had with this. I see that we had a tech go out, was the issue resolved for you? -FC 

  • Cable down again

    Another bit of rain, and another total failure of Telstra Cable in Patterson Lakes (VIC). This is the 3rd time in the last few months that our entire street has died (yes, I have confirmed with neighbours, it is not just my house). Using my cheapo $30 per month backup Internet service (which is more reliable than Telstra!) I found that the Telstra Service Status website is saying that this issue will be fixed on Tuesday night. It is currently Sunday morning, so that's 3 days to fix, including 2 working days. Is anyone else tired of paying for the premium service in the country, only to find it falls over all the time? TELSTRA - GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

    http://servicestatus.telstra.com/servicestatus/goc.do?q=postcode_3197.html&postcode=3197
    It's a known issue in parts of the area, and they expect it to be fixed in a couple of days.
    Checking the Service Status is a good way to see if they are aware of it being widespread and when they think it'll be fixed.

  • I have two airport extremes, one acting as amodem and the other operating in bridge mode.  The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable. How do I know if they are operating wired or wirelessly

    I have two airport extremes, one acting as a modem and the other operating in bridge mode.  The extremes are connected using ethernet, but remain connected even when I disconnect the Cat5a cable (I did this to check that the 100 feet of Cat 5a cable connecting them was working). How do I find out if they are operating wired or wirelessly?  I want to know as I assume I will get much better speeds if they are wired.

    Hi Bob, many thanks for the prompt response.  I think I did what you suggested, but you're the expert so I have sent over a few screenshots.  The extreme in question is High Birches Home Office (the rest of the network has been in place and working well for some time).  My new home office is going to be in the garden, circa 100 feet from the main house.  I have installed armoured Cat5e cable down to the shed that is going to be adjacent to the home office once built and situated the High Birches Home Office Airport Extreme there temporarily.  Everything works well, so I was surprised when I unplugged the ethernet, that it still worked.  I also tested the ethernet cable by switching off my laptop's wifi and unplugging the cable from the airport extreme and directly into the laptop and that worked ok.
    If the screenshots below (I did every Airport utility tab for the High Birches Home Office) don't tell you anything more, then the set-by-step instructions would greatly appreciated so I can ensure I completed the steps correctly. 
    Many
    Thanks, Greg.

  • WIRE DOWN: Can't get any response to a wire down.....

    It is virtually impossible to report a Verizon wire/cable down.  It took me nearly an hour to find a number.  Verizon sites have nothing.  I finally got a number from Ask.com.
    I reported the wire down; explaining that I had called the localelectric utility.  They were there in 30 minutes - but they said they can't repair the line, as it is a Verizon cable that is down.  Apparently, since the service is not OUT - they don't seem to care.
    Wire is hanging from pole line...about 6 ft. off the ground.  I reported - Ticket number: {edited for privacy}; but nobody came.
    Getting a response from the Maryland Public Service Commission is almost as bad.  What gives??

  • Video out cable

    can anyone tell me where i can source a video out cable for my fx5200 ? i didn't get supplied with one and trying to track the cable down , i'm in australia , sent a few emails to the australian branch of msi , but they haven't replied back

  • Broken Bluetooth Connection Cable?

    While upgrading some RAM and fixing the audio wire attachment on a client's mini, one of the three cables would not re-attach (one being for the Airport, and I'm not sure what the third one is). Upon further inspection, I realized that the entire port had come up with with cable. Is there any way to get this back on or do I need to buy a new bluetooth/wireless board or what? Help!

    see a lot of these posts and my phone4 don't have the same cable
    but also see posts about the old pin30 cable breaking
    I also still use my org ipod touch 1g's cable with it and other ios devices working fine
    suspect if people pull the cable rather then the connector when they disconnect the cable it wear the cable down faster

  • Wifi Extender vs Ethernet Cable

    Hi im new here and appologise if this question has been asked before but im a bit miffed...
    I got bt youview activated last week then called up and ordered an extra box
    which was delivered and activated today, i originally wanted three youview+
    boxes in total but BT says they can only provide me with a maximum of two,
    even if i pay upfront, i would need to buy the additional box for my
    kids room from a retailler which i did and plugged in on saturday there.
    I also purchased two Wifi Extenders (not the BT ones) and they seemed to be
    working fine on my upstairs boxes, great signal and pulling netflix and all the
    other on demand content through fine, however on my second bt subscription box sold by BT that was activated today, the extra channels on my package were not pulling through. Ended up calling BT for advice on how to fix the issue with the box not pulling through
    the extra channels and the advisor talked me through various tests etc then said
    to restart my home hub and box then she would call me back but after restarting the box
    and home hub it still didnt pull through the channels so i had a 25m cat6a ethernet cable lying around which i decided to try so i plugged in and it pulled the channels through fine to my second BT subscription box.
    I bought the extenders to save me from having to run a cable upstairs, which i have now had to do. I thought it would just be a matter of running a short cable from each extender to each of the youview+ boxes but my question is, if the extra channels are streamed down the internet, why do they not pull through using wifi extenders but netflix and all the other on demand content does, which again is streamed?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yeah have always preferred using ethernet cables from cat 5e upwards but now they have cat 7, it's always changing but safe to say even when gfast comes into play cat 6a wil still serve me well.
    I had originally planned to run the cable through the wall, up the outside of the house behind the pipe then into the front bedroom upstairs but the brickwork this house is built with seriously is the hardest thing ever known to man, the walls are solid and about a foot thick so drilling it was a complete nightmare. That's where the extenders had come in. All internal walls to where the hub is, is also made from brick so couldn't even drop the cable down a cavity. I Have had to run the cable neatly all the way on the skirting and it looks good but the main thing is, the wife hasn't complained, so all is well :-)

  • Time Capsule does not wirelessly connect to wireless cable modem gateway

    I am trying to get Time capsule to act as what I think is supposed to be a wireless bridge (Apple retail employee's advice) to enable an old G4 iMac upstairs to have wireless ("Airport") online access from the wifi cable modem downstairs. I can get everything to work when I run ethernet cable down the stairs but avoiding that is exactly why I bought the Time Capsule.
    I thought time capsule was a wireless device! how do I get it to  speak to the gateway?? Right now it is blinking amber slowly.
    Havent tried yet but I would ideally like to run time machine back up of my Macbook pro, from wherever I am, upstairs or downstairs.

    Thanks everyone. My understanding is that the time capsule needs to be hard wired to the gateway , not what apple retail store "genius" told me. I really wanted to wifi-enable the stranded G4 (and thus access the laserwriter 8500 cabled to it) upstairs.
    -- now I'm re-reading bob timmons' remark, and wondering: i don't think I need time capsule to be a router, do I? I just need it to connect to the G4 with a cable, and receive wifi from the gateway ( ... and do time machine backups). I really only need one ethernet port, and the wifi connectivity.
    so on a whim I had also ordered a airport express, thinking it would be fun to get iTunes on an old stereo system. Now I think I need it to do the job of wifi-enabling the upstairs G4 instead. Just came this afternoon. We'll see if this allows me to get rid of the ethernet cable mess.
    But first I will try to (restore factory defaults, and then) reconfigure to "join" an existing wifi network (which so far is just the macbook pro and the cable modem gateway). My confidence level that this will work: poor.

  • DVI to S-Video TV out no longer working

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo, bought mid 2007. Up until December last year I have been able to use an Apple DVI to TV adapter to display on a TV. For some unknown reason this no longer works. To find a solution I have tried plugging things in different orders, deleting preferences, creating a new user but nothing works. It may have happened after a Mac OS X Leopard update but I cannot be sure.
    What I do know is:
    - the DVI port still functions on an LCD, using a DVI to VGA adapter or just straight DVI.
    I've read about failing video cards etc but I don't think any of these apply to my model. I believe it might actually be a software issue...
    Has anyone had any success with recent versions of Leopard and connecting a TV?
    Thanks.

    turns out the dvi to s-video converter was kinda sorta broke, I had to jam the cable down into the s-video and rca plastic piece, I guess it wasnt making a perfect condition. Oh well works now.

  • DVI to s-video TV display

    what I want to do: I want to be able to use my tv as a second display to watch movies on etc.
    What I have: Macbook pro 15in with a DVI Out, DVI to s-video/ composite adapter.
    RF modulator for the tv as it is an old tv with only coaxel in, the RF modulator has an s-video and composite in.
    Ive tried hooking up the dvi to s_video adapter to the dvi port, the s-video cable to that converter then to the rf modualtor, the rf modulator is hooked up to the tv and is working properly. I tune the tv to channel 4 like i do for my ps2... no dice. when I hook my macbook pro up to my dvi monitor it auto detects is and displays. it does not do this however with my tv. I have tried testing displays and changing the resolution down to 800x600 AND lower, still no go. What do i need to do? does it involve the F7 button?? bc ive pushed it... infact i have no idea what that does, i thought it was a display button. guess not.

  • How do we get the TV just bought up and running

    I cannot believe that there are no notes on my account as since 19th September which is the date that our new infinity broadband and tv contract was due to start I have sent several emails and spoken to at least six people for about two hours on the phone and I am no nearer getting a solution to the problem
    I'll try once again to explain the problem.
    After studying the packages and speaking to a sales person on the phone I ordered the package as all the requirements that I was told was needed was a mains point to plug in the router and hub and an outside aerial which we have.
    On the 19th the engineer arrived and connected the broadband and installed the hub and router upstairs where our telephone line comes in. I asked if he would be installing the tv box but he said another engineer would be coming to do that. However he explained that as the hub/router is upstairs we would need cables down the stairs and into the living room. I said that no one had said that and it wasn't one of the requirements that I had seen and been told.
    When he left I phoned to check on when the engineer would be coming and also to mention that the box was unsuitable and the engineer had recommended another box that wouldn't require cabling.
    The person that I spoke to was quite abrupt and after telling me that there wouldn't be another engineer and that I would have to install myself I explained that I couldn't because of the cabling problem. He then suggested that we should be transferred to the "mis-sold" department. He then cut me off!! I called back and got someone called Becky who tried to explain technical solutions so I passed her over to my husband. Again she didn't seem able to help so he asked to cancel the contract and for you to collect the equipment. She said we couldn't do that until the following day which didn't make sense.
    As we were not getting anywhere I cancelled the direct debit as I thought this would prompt someone to contact us and hopefully resolve the issue and I also sent my first email stating my intension to cancel in line with DSR.
    Since then I have sent other emails and had three phone calls lasting over an hour but each call has either been lost when trying to transfer me or on the last occasion I was told that the problem can be resolved by moving our phone line which would be a simple job of extending the external wiring approximately fifteen metres but we've been told this will cost us £130. I had said in a previous email that we are entitled to cancel under the Distance Selling Regulations but also said that we have been loyal BT customers for many years and although we could have chosen one of the many competitors we stayed with you but feel that we are now being treated really badly and as I previously stated the stress is really affecting us.
    I really think that as a gesture of goodwill and taking into account our loyalty to your company this move should be made without any further cost to us as you did not make us aware that we would have this problem.
    In my previous email I was referring to the charges on the latest bill for activation and charges for the TV. The tv box is still unpacked and I informed you on the day it was due to be installed that it is unsuitable so why was it activated and why have I been billed for it?
    I would really appreciate you finding a quick solution to this problem as I feel that I am getting nowhere

    This is a user to user forum. So no one here has access to your emails. Some of the things you state you have been told are untrue.
    Cancelling your direct debit is not going to do you any favours.
    The box doesn't need to get changed all you need are a pair of power line adapters and you can watch TV. The box will work anyway as a PVR so you shouldn't be frightened to set it up and plug in the aerial. It doesn't need set up.

  • Can I use an Airport extreme to extend my ATT wireless network?

    Hi
    I get my internet through an ATT DSL wireless router positioned up in my attic. I have a studio in my basement with 2 computers, a plotter, a laser printer and a fax/scanner/photo printer. I've run an ethernet cable down from the attic in to a central location in my basement. I've run ethernet cable from the three printers to that same location. I want to set up an unused Airport extreme base station in my studio to connect the plotter and two printers to my wireless network. One snag is that one of my computers has a bad airport card slot and needs to be connected to the network with an ethernet cable.
    Can you help me solve this?

    OK,
    Got er done this weekend and I have extended the network to my studio. One problem though, My main computer keeps dropping off the wireless network. It connects for a second and then gone. I have solved this for the moment by disconnecting my scanner from the AEBS and connecting my main computer to the AEBS. I still have not connected my laser printer to the network, but will use its USB connection to connect it to the AEBS. I just need to go buy a longer cord.
    Things work for now and I can work on some jobs this week. I plan to search the boards to solve the dropping off problem soon.
    Thanks again for all of your help.

  • I received a used iphone in a replacement and I was told it was brand new, Now more issues.

    So I bought a iPhone 5s back in October 2013, I had to have it replaced back in June 2014, here it is less then a year with the replacement and I had been having trouble with it ever since receiving it, it would work perfect for them.  The issue I had was the digitizer would stop functioning in the upper left corner, and about a week ago the finger print stopped functioning.  brought it to apple and they would not honor an arrangement they had made with me to exchange if it still had trouble after resetting to defaults because it had been 4 months,  stupid but understandable.  They quoted me $269 for a replacement.
    So today I decided to pop the screen off and take a look, first off I did not realize I broke the latches at the top holding the screen down, so I ripped every display cable.  But once I opened it I saw there was the metal clasp holding the fingerprint cable down, but there is a huge gap between the cable and the clasp, so it does not stay plugged in.  But the biggest thing I saw was the remains of a void sticker inside there (picture attached).  When I got it replaced, I asked if the phone was a refurbished replacement and he said no, it was a brand new phone, it is was new there would not be stickers removed inside there.
    I know I probably screwed up ripping the cables, but do I have any case here?  I know that the paper work says refurbished products may be used, but I was told they were not and since they were, they were not even refurbished properly.  Any input would be appreciated.

    Actually, you no longer have any case whatsoever.  You've opened up the device.  That voids all support for that device from Apple.
    And I really, really hate to tell you this, but that sticker you're seeing?  That doesn't mean it's a used device.
    And a verbal statement is really irrelevant anyways.  Unless you have documentation that says it was a brand new device, then it's not.
    The long and the short of it is this; if you had not tampered with the device and opened it (even if you hadn't damaged the cables, opening it up voids ALL SUPPORT), then you might have a case.  But now (especially that you've posted a picture of the opened device; no way to try to deny that now), you no longer have the $269 option.  Now you'll have to pay full retail price.  Or seek third-party support like Chris said.
    Best of luck.

  • Very upset/disappointed with terrible attitude and...

    I write this as almost a last resort after almost pulling all my hair out with BT. 
    I had reported a fault of low speeds to house on the 11th November. I realised after trying to download a file for an update the internet slowed down to almost a dial up speed. According to the estimated speedtests we should receive from BT we were expecting to see speeds between 9-11mbps. For the past 2 years without realising what we "could" have we have received 2mbps.. 
    So I began to lodge a complaint which eventually discovered a local area fault (God knows since when has this occured) and BT said they could book an engineer to fix the fault at the exchange and it would be free of charge due to it being external. I booked the slot and confirmed with the advisor that it would not be necessary for the engineer to come into the house as I would be out. The advisor confirmed this so I felt confident that the internet would be improved. But this is BT! Of course there would be a disaster in the tail.. 
    Although the house wasn't empty due to my brother opting to work from home on his project via an online portal, the engineer turned up. Knocked on the door to tell my brother he was here to fix the fault and would need to come inside after doing some work outside. The engineer proceeded to disconnect the broadband without telling him, causing him to lose all his work. My brother rang me to tell me what had happened and said the engineer wanted to come inside. I told my brother that he didn't need to but was then told by my brother that the engineer just wanted to test the socket. I allowed the engineer to test the socket.. now when we say test if "test" means rip the old socket out damaging the wall, the plaster and the skirting to stick a new socket on AGAIN WITHOUT asking for any permission. I caught the engineer as I came home from work myself and asked how he had got on, he said he wasn't from the area but he claimed the issue was fixed. This was all done on the 15th November.
    On the 16th, we did a speedtest after he left and found we had gone up from 2 to 3mbps and then it plummeted all the way down to 0.01 - 0.5. I was furious. After several calls to BT they sent another engineer out to look at the damage and confirmed the engineer before had NOT fixed the problem. But BT had dispatched the wrong engineer this time and he said he could not touch the socket. Again we went through the terrible service and I spoke to supervisors/managers whoever was the "next one up" from the person I spoke to.
    We had another engineer come out to test the line and told us to ask for a line reset (whatever that is) which when we put to BT they refused to do. We were constantly lied to as we were told they were monitoring the line/escalting it all with no avail. We called them out on it several times with no consistency to the story. This continued for another week where we used the service socket to access speeds of 12mbps?! However running a cable down the stairs from the service socket to the hub upstairs looks messy and we should not have to do it, so we reverted back to poor internet speeds. 
    The time taken off work soon caught up with me and I gave in for a few days. 
    AFTER ALL THAT, BT admitted there had been an error and they'd throttled our speeds too far and we were restored to 3mbps. This was finally done around early December. Now on Christmas Day, the problem reappears with my youngest brother who wanted to play on his new games console with his friends cannot use the internet as the speeds are too low. 
    I actually wonder how BT survive on terrible service. We've noticed our complaint has been closed WITHOUT them even asking if the problem has fully gone. We've had to start a new one now and are now considering legal action. This is a total disgrace due to;
    1. Paying for a service that's not being properly maintained.
    2. Paying for a service that is below par what we should expect.
    3. Damage to our property by Openreach on behalf of BT.
    4. Time wasted due to BT's inability to organise a simple job.
    5. The lack of care/sympathy/compassion shown in any of the situations. 
    I cannot wait for fibreoptic to arrive here, straight switch to Virgin to avoid this complete mess. If anyone is willing to help solve these issues, please get in touch. Otherwise it's going to escalate and BT will have no defence. 

    Welcome to this customer to customer help forum.
    This sounds like a fault in your own internal wiring, especially if you say that it works from the "test" socket.
    Quote " This continued for another week where we used the service socket to access speeds of 12mbps?! However running a cable down the stairs from the service socket to the hub upstairs looks messy and we should not have to do it, so we reverted back to poor internet speeds"
    BT would not be responsible for any internal wiring issue, as their responsibility ends at the test socket.
    Internal extension wiring is known to cause problems.
    If the last technician fiitted a new master socket which looks like one of these pictures.
    or 
    Then your home hub will only work if its plugged into the small socket on the front. The extensions would no longer carry the broadband signal.
