  • Can't get internet to work on my formated Satellite A100

    Hey,
    I recently formated my computer and then I installed all the drivers that i needed for my A100 PSAA9... but internet wont work... i kinda understand why but don't know what to do about it....
    if i'm not unentierly mistaken the driver needed to get internet to work with my adsl is the LAN driver, no?
    Well i downloaded that one but when i tried to install it there was no setup file or installation file only an uninstall file... unfortunately for me i managed to click that one a bit too fast without checking what it was now, that leaves me with 2 questions:
    Are the LAN drivers pre'installed with windows so that internet can work from the start?
    How do i do then if this is not the case to get internet working?
    All help is much appreciated, thanks on beforehand Maxime Maison

    Hey, thanks for all the advice so far!!! I googled the device manager and figured out what it was :P problem is i have my OS in swedish so it's different...'
    anyway, I did what you said but i still doesn't work.. i don't know if there is something else but i'll provide details so you can tell me if i did something wrong:
    I enter the device manager, I expand net adapters and i get 1 option called: 1394 Net Adapter I click update drivers and get the options that you posted above. When I click the don't seach i'll choose myself part i get the 1394 net adapter in a little box displayed as net adapters and i can either click "floppy exists" or click previous, next or cancel nothing where i can choose to click the unzipped driver i downloaded. I click next and the says that the software has been installed for the 1394 Net Adapter and then i click finish.
    This might mean that the driver was installed all along i don't know but internet still won't work so i don't know what to do and until you showed me all of this i had done nothing else but the first time i did it, nothing seemed to have changed....
    i wish it could just fix itself :(

  • Can't get internet to work w/windows: DSL- Graphite

    I am trying to get this home network to function, here is the problem.
    The home network consists of the following:
    DSL
    Airport Graphite
    Ibook G4
    Win 2K PC
    The G4 works fine, but i can't get internet on the Win2K machine. It even gets as far as having an IP assigned using DHCP, but then no internet.
    Perhaps because the default gateway is missing?
    I am able to connect to the base station it seems. The wireless connection comes up and shows that it is connected.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    looks I'm having same problem
    my Ibook G3 and ABS graphite working as perfect team, any way I set the DHCP in my network. BTW, here is it:
    - DSL router (hired from ISP), web GUI, bad technical help; set with 192.168.1.1 private IP@, no DHCP
    - ABS fw 3.84, manually set as 192.168.1.3, internally DHCPing addresses like 10.1.1.x with NAT
    - iBook G3 700 with X 10.3.3 and airport card
    - company laptop running W2K SP4 with D-Link DWL-G122 wireless adapter, always connecting to the network but unable to browse any web page
    everything works fine (I'm writing this message wirelessly from iBook), looks there's no way PC can get an IP@, the wifi adapter can't reach DHCP server (as a result of a "ipconfig /renew [adapter name]"; it always gets automatically an IP@ like 169.x.x.x because no DHCP server is available.
    I tried also the ABS to distribute IP@s in 192.168.1.x format (without NAT) but no change. I tried to work with ABS as simple bridge to router working as DHCP server, but PC cannot pass thru ABS... can connect only using ethernet cable to router directly
    any suggestion GREATLY appreciated, since I'm working from home and I need to connect from 9 to 6 with PC!!!
    thanks
    Andrea (Mac newbie)
    PS: ABS is configured on those two MAC@s only, I have also a PIII desktop running Mandrake Live, but by now will use the D-Link adapter on it

  • HT1695 My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    My iPad shows it is connected to the Internet wherever there is free wifi but it is getting up and I can't get it to work? I tried rebooting but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that  wifi network

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • I have a question. For the past week I have not been able to access my iTunes app it always kicks me out. I've turned it off and on and still nothing. I was wondering how can I get it to work or what should I do. Thank you

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Using airport extreme in china - can't get it to work

    I just moved to china and have been trying to set up a new Airport Extreme dual band to my high speed internet connection but can't get it to work (bought the AE in the US and worked fine there). I have a Green light on the physical AE, and in Network Status section under Network Diagnostics I get green lights on Airport, Network Settings and ISP, but yellow/red on Internet and Server. The type of internet connection is direct, supplied by China Telecom with no router/modem in my unit, but with ethernet cable running directly to the phone room connection. I manually set up the AE using the same IP address, subnet, DNS as shows up when I plug the ethernet cable directly into my computer, with the internet working fine with a direct connection to computer and no AE.

    What you did makes complete sense Mike, but if you don't have access to the router you may have to get your ISP to recognize your Extreme's MAC address:
    AirPort Base Station: ISP provisioning may prevent Internet connection via broadband (cable or DSL)
    For example: Suppose that you have a computer connected to a cable modem before purchasing an AirPort Base Station. Your Internet service provider might recognize your computer's MAC address as the correct one for your account. Your new base station then takes the position on your network that was formerly occupied by your computer, but you have not taken any action to let your Internet service provider (or its hardware) know the new address. The base station then sends packets to your Internet service provider that do not contain the required MAC address, and the packets are ignored.
    It may be as simple as leaving everything disconnected from your service provider for a period of time. You might also try turning Connection Sharing "off" (bridge mode).

  • Can't get it to work after 3 of them

    I have had 3 of them I have the 3rd one here at my house but still can't get it to work.  not sure what I am doing wrong.  My sister has one and can't under stand why it will not work for me,.  I really need one the service is not really good here.

  • Can't get Java to work in IE 6!

    I downloaded and installed the file jre-1_5_0_01-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe and couldn't get java to work on websites that used it. So I tried to install it again and got the message "You already have this version of the JRE installed. Please uninstall the product through your add/remove programs utility before reinstalling." followed by "The Wizard was interrupted before J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 1 could be completely installed...".
    So I went into Control Panel --> Add or Remove Programs --> J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 1. I clicked to remove the program and eventually got the message "Fatal error during installation." Then I tried going into Control Panel and click the Java coffee mug icon. Nothing happened when I did that -- no Java console/panel or anything.
    So basically I can't get it to work and now I can't even remove it. In Internet Explorer --> Tools --> Internet Options --> Advanced I have the box checked beside Use JRE 1.5.0_01 for <applet> (requires restart). But when I go to Tools --> Sun Java Console, nothing happens.
    Can anyone help me out???

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Windows...
    In your user folder (c:\documents and settings\somewhere in there) you will find a java folder. Try removing that and then reinstalling the JRE through the java.com website.

  • I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

    I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

  • T500: Can't get WLAN to work!! HELP

    Hey all, new to the Lenovo community so sorry if I sound like a noob.
    I just bought a Thinkpad T500- 2056 CTO (Vista Business) from a colleague of mine. I searched the internet for the specs of this notebook and saw that it was equipped with an integrated WLAN card but I can't get it to work. I checked the Network Adapters in the Device Manager but there was only an Ethernet Gigabit driver. I tried downloading the only 2 different drivers that Lenovo's Support and Downloads has but that didn't work. Can anyone help me out? I'd greatly appreciate it.

    What specifically did you look at on the internet to determine the spects of a  2056-CTO ?

  • Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband.  How do I set it up?

    Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for Garageband ('08)? The program allows MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated. I have a trial version, but can't get it to work in Garageband. Wonder how to set it up.
    Thanks, Doctor Mark

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

  • After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I see my buddy, but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies.

    After years of owning all things Mac, I am finally trying to use iChat, and can't get it to work. I am using gmail, and I see my buddy (no camera icon next to her name), but all I can do is send a message--the video and audio chat icons are gray, as is inviting to a video chat under Buddies. My buddy has the same problem as I.  We are able to do video chat through gmail, but I had hoped to use iChat.  I am using OS 10.6.8, iChat v. 5.0.3.  What am I missing?

    HI,
    iChat will Video chat to another iChat in a Jabber Buddy List (Google run a Jabber server for GoogleTalk)
    However it will not Video to the Web Page login to iGoogle or the Web Mail Page login.  (where people can Google Chat as it were in a  Web Browser).
    Nor does it video to the Google Talk Stand alone app for PCs or any other Jabber apps on any platform.
    iChat uses a connection Process called SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) which is also used by other VoIP devices.
    Jabber/XMPP invited the Jingle Protocol for Jabber Applications.
    Google have included this in their Standalone app and the Plug-in for Web Browsers on both PCs and Mac (you can get this as a Standalone Plug-in or as part of Chrome)
    More on this here  This article has been changed several time in the recent months.  It now claims a greater involvement by Google in writing the Jingle Library (Although now Google's version does not work with the others)
    This tends to mean that using the web Login to Google to Chat also cannot video chat to other Jabber apps that are using Jingle.
    If your Buddy is using iChat then check the Video Menu has two items to Enable Camera/Video chat and Microphone/Audio chats are ticked.
    In the View Menu the Show Status Items should be ticked (Selecting them toggles the tick and the function On or Off)
    It could be Internet speed but at this stage I would doubt this at this stage.
