Can't connect after reformat due to virus

Toshiba Satellite P105 Model: PSPA0U-1x001N Windows XP
I was infected with "anti-virus live" I cleared it with a Malware program that was recommended on "bleepingcomputer" but a day or so later could no longer connect to the internet. I wiped my HD and reformatted with the factory disc to restore computer to factory settings. Now I STILL can't connect to the internet. I show an excellent wireless connection but still get "page not found". If I plug the cable in directly from the modem it says "limited or no connectivity" . I know the modem works because when I plug it directly to this alternate laptop it works great. I did all the troubleshooting possible with my ISP (Roadrunner) and they said its not an issue with them. When I was starting the process of reformatting a pop up said "cannot erase file Windows/Drivers/Ew3BootseQ" Is that a virus hanging on? I am on a different laptop now btw.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Well no luck. I'm back in the same boat. Excellent signal strength but no internet.   I don't have Norton on now so I couldn't try that...
I did another ping test ( again I have no idea what I'm looking for here) but maybe it could mean something to some one on here?
I'm going to type out my results since I'm using a different computer here so can not copy/paste. I don't have the cable hooked directly to the router so that is why that is unresponsive but it doesn't work either even when it is connected. Even though it works on this one fine.   But the wireless still says signal is excellent. Anyway, here it is:

Does anything seem like an obvious issue that would keep me from accessing the internet?

HT1386 Unable to update due to apple icon stuck. Can't connect to iTunes due to unable to put in passcode

Unable to update due to apple icon stuck. Can't connect to iTunes due to unable to put pass code into phone.

Have a look at these threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2572431&tstart=15
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12206661&#12206661
I had the same problem. It appears that the servers chuck a hissy fit if you don't download your purchases in a timely fashion. I used the 'report a problem' feature in my iTunes account to contact customer support via email. They replied about 24 hours later, reset my download cue and the problem has now been resolved.
Hope this helps you solve your issue.

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

Yes. We tried to reboot iphone(s), tried also with ipads 6.1. We tried to reset network settings.
We tried to add wifi profile to clean new iphone using iphone configuration utility.
Wireless supplier can't help - they told it is an ios issue and I think this is true because all
ipads/iphones works just fine on ios5 or 6.0.1 but can't connect on 6.1

Some clients can't connect after 10.6.6 update - the see an error -43

Hi There,
I'm a designer so am not all that technical but have managed to setup and maintain OS X servers since 10.5.
I've just updated the server to 10.6.6 and now some of our clients can't connect - they get the following error:
"There was an error connecting to the server. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator."
If I click OK to the error above on the client, I see another error which reads:
"The operation cannot be completed because one or more required items cannot be found.
(Error code -43)"
I've restarted the server and the clients but no luck.
The server is running the following services:
- AFP
- DNS
- Firewall
- NFS (although I don't remember setting this up - is this started with AFP?)
- Open Directory
I can ping the server and login via ARD so not sure why we see the first IP address error as mentioned above.
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome.
Regards
Ben

One question, is this when you hit "Connect to Server" or is this after you've established a connection and try to open/edit/save files?
Here is some general advice:
1) I assume your whole network is behind a router and that we are talking a small office environment (5-10 people) and not some large enterprise. If so the Firewall service can probably be disabled. As a matter of fact if your issue is that clients can't connect at all the firewall may actually be causing your problem.
2) NFS can almost certainly be disabled. Its generally only used for two reasons 1) The netboot service needs it. 2) You support unix/bsd clients. I can see from your list of services that netboot isn't something you're doing and I doubt that as a designer you would have much use for unix/bsd systems.

My compy can't connect after putting in router

hello all, i have a compaq presario, and a WRT54GS router, the wireless works great, but about 2 weeks after hooking the presario to it, it lost internet, didn't even have a IP address, so we did a system recovery, fixed it, but then, the same thing just happened. wireless is good, but the wired is messed up, i have talked to compaq, they said talk to Linksys about it. so here i am. please help.Message Edited by panhead09 on 03-25-200708:23 PM

well..if the wireless connection is working good..i guess there is some problem with the NIC card of your computer...or the ethernet port on the router...only to isolate the problem , connect the computer directly to the modem and check whether the computer gets a proper ip address and can it connect to the internet..

Report Builder Can't Connect after IP Change

I can write the queries that I need to but continually run into issues with SRS and its Report Builder
Someone moved the report server onto another LAN and it has a new IP. All the reports can still connect to the data source and so work just fine.
When I launch Report Builder 2 from the Report Server/Report itself, it pops up that "connection failed" and follows up with "Unable to connect to the server that is specified in the URL"
Basically I need to configure it to point to itself I guess but that seems to not be happening. The changes were already in the report manager when I went to check them. I have no idea how long it's been this way.
I've attached a pic to show the successful connection to report server, but bad from report builder. Also the configuration of the report server.
I found posts related to proxy but that can't possibly help b/c the thing is looking for an IP that doesn't exist! It's own has changed.

Hi Kirkee,
According to your description, after someone moved the report server to another LAN and a new IP, all the reports can still connect to the data source and work fine. When you launch Report Builder 2 from report manager or report, you got the error message.
The error message "Connection failed. Unable to connect to the server specified URL <Report Server URL>" means we are not able to connect to the Report Server. We can follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Open the Web Services URL (known as Report Server URL) in the Internet Explorer (IE). Make sure it is able to open it.
Try to use IP to access the Report Server from the Report Builder.
Run the Report Builder under the domain account (Press key SHIFT and then right click the Report Builder, click 'Run as different user').
Check the Reporting Services error logs (by default, it can be found from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles).
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Can;t connect after comcast install

my airport worked previously with a cablevision modem hookup.
now, with comcast, i can only connect directly via ethernet...my AX shows a green light, and network diagnostics show the AX is working but the ISP is not, yet when i connect direct to the comcast modem it works fine....any ideas?
terayon TJ 715 is the modem connected to the cable.
Thanks!

It is important to do a complete power recycle of your network components when changing equipment. Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the modem, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

Can't connect after installing 9ias 1.0.2.2

I've just installed 1.0.2.2, after having run
1.0.2.0 for six months. I did't migrate, rebuilt from scratch. Everything is running, but I can't connect. Any idea which/where/what tnsnames.ora need to be deleted/modified? There's so much redundancy of config files.

You cannot connect to Apache web listener or Portal? In 1.0.2.2 the default listener port is 7778 (versus 7777 in 1.0.2.0).

IPhone 3GS can't connect after software update

My iPhone 3GS can't connect to my M1424WR anymore after I updated my iPhone software. Apple suggested I update my router software - any tips?

Try use "forget this network" then re enter the wep/wpa key (network password) this happens sometimes with my iTouch.
Other than that, there is no reason the iPhone cannot connect. =/

Can't connect after installing

I installed the VS.NET integration tools and now an asp.net application can't connect to a 9i database. I haven't changed anything in the original app.
I get the following error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Any insight into why this has happened?
Thanks,
Christian

Or 3. Set TNS_ADMIN in the registry so that you only
ever have to maintain one file. This is documented on
technet. I should however have read the original reply first. I strongly suspect that your particular problem will be caused by the new 10g Home becoming the default Oracle home. This can be changed by firing up the OUI and choosing installed products and then the environment tab and setting the first home to be the 9i home. Alternatively of course you could consider moving the whole system to use the 10g client :)

Can't connect after password change

roommate claims we were hacked and he changed the password to a WEP but now i can't connect. it basically comes down to a "connection timeout" every time i try. i've changed and updated all the proper areas in network preferences and keychain access but nothing works. and even though the password is in keychain access and it asks me if it can allow its use, it will then still ask me for the password in window.
any ideas? i realize this is vague but not sure where to go from here. oh, and also the network wifi comes and goes even though i'm sitting next to the router. i tried another router and it's all the same complete with vanishing wifi so i'm assuming it's something with my computer. but then i also have a G4 desktop and it won't connect either.
i was using open DNS but have deleted that info in the preferences as in the past, that sometimes causes problems when connecting to new networks for the first time.
so could it still be a DNS issue or possible keychain access or something i'm not even thinking of?
(and dumb question, but does it matter in a WEP password if the letters are caps or not? tried it both ways but anything i can eliminate as a cause at this point would be great.)
thanks very much

When someone maliciously accessed your network, he may have changed other AirPort settings too, so I would verify everything is as it should be. Your roommate could also have changed something beyond implementing WEP encryption, either intentionally or not.
You might also see if you can isolate the cause to your computers by creating a new network "location" for them.
I don't believe OpenDNS is the problem. If your AirPort network becomes unavailable at random intervals, that problem must be solved before anything else will work.
... does it matter in a WEP password if the letters are caps or not?
Yes. WEP passwords are case-sensitive.

Dreamweaver CS3- Can't activate after reformat of hard drive

Hello
I had to reformat my hard drive due to a virus and made note of all my serial numbers.
I put Dreamweaver CS3 back on laptop with disc and it accepts my code but then I have to phone to activate it fully.
I then get a message on the phone telling me to go to adobe.com/go/activation, I can then do nothing there.
It tells me to click help in dreamweaver and activate from there but I can't get past an activation screen to get there.
Please help as I need to work on my website.
TIA Ian

I know CS2's server has been deactivated due to some unnamed "technical problem".
As for the OP, I would uninstall and run the cleaner tool then try again. The cleaner tool is available here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
You "may" also benefit from trying the install this way, just make sure to follow ALL of the instructions...

Can't connect after changing BI Publisher Administrator password

I have a single machine instance of OBIEE 10.1.3 on Windows. All elements have been working fine and I have been able to successfully sign on to:
1) BI Publisher
2) Dashboards/Answers
3) BI Administrator
However, today I decided to change my 'Administrator' password in BI Publisher for good order's sake. And now after making that change I get an error reading:
{color:#0000ff}*'The server can not be used due to a configuration error, please contact the administrator. If you are the administrator, please consult BI Publisher user guide for proper configuration'*{color}
With 'error detail' reading: oracle.apps.xdo.security.ValidateException
Using the old BI Publisher password also returns an error (invalid user/password). I also stopped and started OC4J service all Oracle BI products. My BI Administrator signon still works fine.
I've read several posts about failed connections like this and ran across one that implied that characters in the new password such as *, #, $ will create problems. Unfortunately my new password does contain some of these characters {:>0 and I suspect this may be the issue My question: What is the least complicated way to back out of this situation and simply restore my sign on? I'm totally focused on data architecture and reports on this single user system right now. Thanks

Madan,
Thanks for your help.
The password in xmlp-server-config.xml is encrypted. It looks (similar) to this:
<property name="BI_SERVER_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD_ENC" value="C14CD2495C033BB8E816E10BCDC25372" />
<property name="BI_SERVER_SECURITY_ADMIN_USERNAME" value="Administrator" />
I tried changing the encrypted password to my password but got a java sign on error.
I then modified the last block in CredentialStore.xml and restarted the BI Server and OC4J but I still get the 'oracle.apps.xdo.Security.ValidateException' error when signing on to BI Publisher. Here's the entry with the (dummy) password which
I tried with the first change above and without the first change above.

Server.app can't connect after 10.7.3

I've already tried the trick where you see if the server stub is running, and it says it is loaded. However, it will not let me connect. I can only admin the machine now via screen sharing. It won't accept any connections from server.app or the other server admin tools.
This is a brand new server and I'm trying to get this up and running, but this is FRUSTRATING.
What else could it be?

After just standing up a Lion Server, and installing Server.app on my MBP with the intent of administering it from there, I was dumbfounded as to why it would not recognize my attempts at connecting. I tried everything I have read in the forum posts on the subject, to no avail.
Then, I tried this. I connected by LAN IP address, in my case, 192.168.1.3, static DHCP on Airport Extreme, and it worked. So I am guessing that there must be a DNS problem somewhere in my configuration. Either that, or port 311 is blocked at the firewall, which I have not checked yet.
