Can sky+ HD box interfere with the internet?

I have been having problems with my internet for about 4 weeks, 6 weeks ago I got sky with a sky+ hd with recording etc.
So for 2 weeks it seemed fine but I am starting to doubt it.
My internet cut off exactly 8pm tonight which is when I had the box to automatically record something, low and hehold when the program stopped recording my internet came back on.
It doesn't seem to be a problem when the tv is just on, more a recording and i am not sure it does it every time.
Has anybody else had problems like this before?
I am experimenting to see if I can make it drop at the moment from recording etc but it may take a while.
Oh yeah and to add, it is not plugged into the phone socket and never has been.
Cheers

Hi mearlam
I have had SKY+ HD for years and have certainly not had any problems with it affecting the broadband.
As its not connected to the phone line, then no filters are needed.
One thing maybe to look at, is are you connecting wirelessly. If so is the HomeHub close to the SKY Box. If so, maybe move it further awy incase there is any electrical interference.

Can people interfere with the wireless signal?

This is strange and I can't figure it out. My Linksys WRT54GSv5 router works fine with my notebook accessing the internet. When certain friends of mine come over, the wireless internet quits working the minute they enter my kitchen, that's where my notebook computer is. I'm connected to the wireless network, but no web pages will load. When they leave, everything works again without rebooting or anything. Is there an explanation for this?

This has happened 4 times in a row when they came over. Yesterday, while they were walking up to my house, I tried to load a web page on my notebook and it worked fine. The minute they entered the kitchen, I tried a web page again and it would not load. I wonder if there is a device that may interfere with the wireless signal that they have with them. There was no microwave in use. As far as I know, my friends are not robots. But maybe they are aliens from another planet. Seriously, I can't figure out why this is happening.

The "Apple ID Password box along with the keyboard keeps popping up on my iPad and stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac but my old one still remains on the iPad. Also changed password. Nothing works! I can't use the iPad like this!

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password. The old email address is still on the iPad. Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away. Thanks for any help!

This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

Can an "Informational" signature be tuned to interfere with the flow of traffic?

We have an informational signature that we have tuned a couple of different ways in an effort for the signature to deny packet inline, but it appears that the IPS is not performing that action.
Do we have to change the severity of the signature to something other than "Informational" in order for us to be able to "block" traffic matching that signature?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Pranay,
Thanks for the reply.
Should I assume from your response that the answer to the title question (Can an "Informational" signature be tuned to interfere with the flow of traffic?) is "yes"? If that's the case, please let me know and I will mark this question as answered.
Any event action filters that have been configured on this IPS were disabled for testing. Signature is enabled and is active and was recently updated (04/01).
Thanks again,
Tom

How can I count time that a computer has been connectted with the internet

I want to count the time which a computer has been connectted with the internet?
I had already tried several times,
one is socket,
second is Runtime.exec("ping -n 1"+ip)
I don't think they are better;
do you have another idea?

The internet is a conceptual entity not a physical entity so you are never connected to it.
As a conceptual entity the internet is represented by a cloud of computing devices (computers, gateways, routers, etc.)
Your computer connects to a another computer by being routed through various devices and then finally connecting to that remote computer.
Depending on various thing you can measure the time that you can connect to other devices by either pinging a common IP in the internet (such as yahoo.com) or by pinging the router that that represents the entry point for your cloud (such as the router/gateway of your ISP.)
If you are concerned about a particular connection, such a specific remote computer, then using a socket and sending a 'keep-alive' message and recieving the response is the best way to track that.

I recently moved into a new apartment and I can connect with the internet by direct connection to the cable/internet modem. But when I connect my Airport Express, it just blinks with a yellow light and I cannot connect via WiFi. Any suggestions?

My safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet.

my safari doesn't work sometimes, but I connect with the internet. Some of the videos I can't see with the Safari browser, but I can see it with other brower. But my friend can see these videos with her safari. And I can not connect with the app store sometimes.

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins. Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs. Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

I can't read a file with the ext PDF the sender informed me that the file was reset to PDF.

I can't read a file with the .ext PDF the sender informed me that the file was reset to PDF. But when I tried to open it the caption box informed me"the file is not in PDF format. I suspect the sender simply changed the file .ext which is why I can't open it! What can I do about it! I am working on an iPad.
Thanks

If the document is not, in fact, a PDF, then you will need to get your sender to provide a PDF.
Can you open this document in any other application?

"Letting Adobe Flash communicate with the internet"

Ok, Here is the deal. I have some .flv video files hosted on my domain with a fantastic looking flash player. It all works great. Except that every time that I change any of the code in the html snippet, or load the page with said snippet on it in iweb, i get this message:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
iweb-widget:58/$x-html-markup
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
my.domain
To let this application communicate with the internet, click settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings
{OK} {Settings...}"
and here's where my problem comes in. I can click ok, and it apparently just ignores the "security" risk and lets it go through that one time, but the next time I load up the page, I have to do it all over again.
Alternatively, I can click settings, and exactly the same thing happens as when I click ok.
Any idea how to get this message to go away. I understand what the "security" risk is, but I also know exactly what it is that I am hosting and I want to allow it to communicate with my webserver.
For reference, here is the code in my html snippet
"<embed
src="http://my.domain/mediaplayer/player.swf"
width="640"
height="352"
bgcolor="000000"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="file=http://my.domain/movies/shortclip.flv&backcolor=000000&frontcolo r=EEEEEE&lightcolor=000000&screencolor=000000"
/>"
For clarification, when published and uploaded, every thing looks great and runs as it should, but I really hate this amazingly annoying nag message.

I am already using the JW Flash player.
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JWFLVPlayer
same thing as the link.
That part is working fine. I just need to know how to change the settings so flash player doesn't get angry about it contacting an external site.
Just kind of annoying that every time that I even load up the page to view it in iweb, I have to click to let it contact the external page, for every video on the **** page.

I have the system "windows 8.1". When I try to install Photoshop Elements 9 I became the error Message; Photoshop can't be install, I need the Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. The setup will be closed.

There is a problem with IE10+ in that it is mistakenly seen as being IE1. To get around this either use a different browser or use compatibility view (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-10)

How can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times?

how can I turn off access to the internet at scheduled times? I use an Airport extreme and several units to extend the range. Kids have multiple devices that I don't want on the network at certain hours. On the other hand, ideally, my wife and I would like to be able to access the internet with our devices after the kid's bedtime and during their school study time.
