Can't import profiles in Access Connection​s 5.02

I exported location profiles in Access Connections 5.02. When I exported, it prompted me for a password, which I entered. However, when I tried to re-import the profiles, it did NOT prompt me for a password and failed with an error saying "Unable to import file. Incorrect passphrase or corrupted file." Well, how can I enter a passphrase when it doesn't prompt me for one on import?!!
This is on a Thinkpad T61p.

Hi bravedave,
should your update say something meaningfull, or just a sticky note?
BTW: for the above situation, you will be prompted for the passphrase, once you open AC GUI and import this .loc file manually.
BTW2: I would more advice to use the LOA export file, as this is more extended and you can do more, then just import and export AC profies. However, for this second option you need to download the Admin pack for AC.
Cheers

  • X60t: Can´t create a new profile within Access Connections

    Hi,
    I use the current version of the Intel Drivers together with the current version of Access Connections for Vista on my X60 Tablet.
    Trying to create a new profile within Access Connections I get an Error-window containing the message: "An unsupported operation was attempted." After that the window hangs and cannot be closed.
    I tried to uninstall and reinstall Access Connections but have the same problem after this procedure.
    Is there anyone having an idea how to solve this problem?

    Hello,
    which version of AC do you use? 5.21?
    The problem is known, going back to previous version helps.
    Then here is a thread and a workaround already.

  • One Wireless Profile in ACCESS CONNECTIONS interferes with another?

    I have a profile on my T61 laptop for my secured home wireless connection. It's worked fine (now that I've figured out all the idiosyncracies of ACCESS CONNECTIONS) up to today.
    Last night, I connected to a Boingo wireless system at the airport, and saved the profile in ACCESS CONNECTIONS.
    Today, when I tried to connect to my home system via my home wireless profile, I continually was told by ACCESS CONNECTIONS that the router was out of range or unavailable. I checked my profile and all settings were correct for my home wireless. All profiles are turned off for automotic location switching.
    Long story short -- after other failed steps, I finally deleted the Boingo airport profile from ACCESS CONNECTIONS, and suddenly ACCESS CONNECTIONS was able to connect to my home wireless system again.
    Why would one wireless profile interfere and seeming superimpose its connection settings onto my home wireless profile? I believe I now have found another idiosyncracy, it seems?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is the solution to the problem.
    GoBoingo has a software program that is set to run during Startup (MSCONFIG in Windows XP); this program alerts the laptop user to the presence of a nearby BOINGO wireless hot spot. This program apparently is interfering with ACCESS CONNECTIONS in the sense that it seems to point the laptop's wireless to a BOINGO access point, regardless of whether one is nearby or not. Then, when I try to use ACCESS CONNECTIONS to connect to the home wireless profile, I'm told that the wireless router is out of range -- and, of course, it is, except that it's a BOINGO wireless router, not my home wireless router.
    The solution is to remove the GoBoingo software from running in the Startup window, and instead manually start up the software if one wants to check for a nearby BOINGO wireless hot spot. After unchecking GoBoingo from Startup list, and rebooting the computer, I was able to connect to my home wireless router without any problems.

  • Unable to edit or delete profile in Access Connection 5

    Hi Everybody!
    I'm unable to edit or delete profiles in Access Connection on my T41 running latest Access Connection v5.
    The edit and delete buttons on the Access Connection Profile menu are shown only in light grey color and it's not possible to click them. I have administrator rights on my machine. These profiles were initially migrated from a very old v3 (automatically during system update) and I guess that this is one of the root causes of my problem.
    I have also tried to use the QCTRAY.EXE /DEL command, but that's also not working. The profiles just remain there unchanged.
    I would be very pleased if somebody could give me a hint on how to overcome this boring problem.
    Best regards,
    Helmut
    Solved!

    v3 profiles are not compatible with v5.
    The best solution in your case would be to uninstall Access Connections with profiles and then reinstall and create new profiles.

  • Exporting Access Connections profile / Import to Windows Wireless

    Hi All.
    I have an issue which i really hope someone have a solution for as either googling and searching through 53 pages on this forum has not provided me with an answer. Here goes...
    The hospital on which i'm working are about to change their IT-infrastructure and when this migration takes place i will no longer be able to use Access Connections. I have about 30 profiles in AC and all of them with a security key which would be hell to setup again through windows wireless.
    Do any of you know of a way to export profiles from AC and then import them to Windows Wireless?
    Thanks in advance!

    Domain policy wireless profiles are not compatible with Access Connections.
    The problem stems that Domain profiles are stored in a different part of the registry than a locally created WZC profile.  Since these are part of the domain policy, they cannot be altered locally.  Microsoft wouldn't provide Lenovothe encryption used (for obvious security reasons), so the domain policy based profiles can't be manipulated by Access Connections.
    But we do provide an ADM template that can be used to do much the same things.

  • Wireless is missing from Fn+F5 and Access Connections

    Hi,
    I just installed a new harddrive on my T60 and restored WinXP from recovery DVD, everything seems to be work fine, I have upgrade Windows to SP3 plus all hotfixes, and updated ThinkVantage software to latest version using System Update 3. Today when I try to use WLAN I found a problem, there's no way to add a WLAN profile in Access Connections, I can choose Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG when creating new profile in AC, but after I clicked Next, I couldn't find any wireless SSID even though there is one active. The #3 dropdown (wireless mode) is also empty, the security property button is also grayed out, so I cann't proceed further.
    I thought this may be becuase wireless is turned off somehow, so I used Fn+F5, to my surprise there's no wireless in it! It only has Bluetooth. I do have Wireless Network Connection 2 in Windows' Network Connections, it's listed as Not connected, the hardware manager also shows the wireless NIC without any problem, so I think WIndows does recognize the wireless NIC, but for some reason Thinkvantage refuses to recognize it, any ideas?
    Thanks

    Solved!

    I solved my problem by uninstall and reinstall WLAN driver and AC (maybe other related drivers, don't quite remember). The sequence of uninstall/install is important, I think you need to uninstall AC first, and install it last.

  • Enable auto connection with Access Connection​s?

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make my T61 connect to my mobile broadband internet connection automatically when coming out of sleep and/or hibernate? Can it be done through Access Connections? I'm running the latest AC on Vista 64.

    You can set Access Connections to connect to your WAN if none of the other wireless profiles are available.
    Open Access Connections and in the upper right, switch from Basic to Advanced.
    Go to the Tools tab and click on  Location Switching. 
    The bottom check box can be set "When no other connections are available, connect through WAN or WiMax"
    Set that and click Ok.

    Guys, what the prublem may be? It was OK for 2 years of use but now previously set profile in Access connection catches wireless LAN automatically at start up without problems but I can not manage it. It takes up to 15 minutes before Access connection window will appear on screen and it takes up to 10 minutes to react to any click inside that window.

  • Access connections problem

    I am trying to use Access Connections to automatically switch my location profiles, i have 2 problems though:
    1. every time I plug in my computer to the lan, first I receive an IP properly, then access connections seems to be siwtching profiles and the result is a 169.254 IP and therefore no connectivity, so access connection shortly thereafter switches on wifi and connects with that.
    I have tried removing the profile and creating it again (while connected on the ethernet and also disconnected) but no use, same happens.
    2. my company pushes a wlan profile which access connections realizes nicely and offers me to use that in the profile and takes me to the wireless settings page. on this page everything is grayed out (wlan settings come from a policy, so nothing to override) and clicking next just says: "enter wireless settings" which I cannot do as everything is grayed out...
    Any ideas how can I fix thexe two problems?
    thanks

    Thanks for your reply!
    If AC needs to manipulate the profile, I understand your reasoning, I can accept it.
    The thing I don't get then is the following prompt:
    "New profile(s) deployed by active directory have been found. Do you want to select a profile and apply it to this location profile?"
    If it's deployed by ad - and therefore not supported by AC - then why can I "apply" it if I won't be able to get past the next screen? This is somewhat misleading - not nice UX .
    Q1. Is there any other use for this prompt?
    Q2. If the ad deployed WZC profile was set to no authentication - so that there's no need to "enter wireless settings", I would succeed, I guess?
    My understanding was so far that AC doesn't manipulate directly (can create profiles though) the way Windows connects to the Wireless networks it just notices changes in connectivity and applies necessary settings (proxy, printers, etc. - which are not part of the domain policy WZC settings).
    Q3. Am I getting this wrong?
    If AC doesn't support domain policy WZC profiles at the moment, what is the process of suggesting features for a later version?
    Thanks for your time,

  • Access Connections does not accept Windows Wireless Config

    Hi All,
    We are rolling out RADIUS/802.1x wireless lan in our enterprise. The wireless settings are deplyed via AD grouo policy - no problems there.
    I have an issue when i configure my access connections (ver 5.21) on my T61 machine. I configure AC to use Windows wireless security settings whcih are picked up correctly. The issues occur when i switch from this profile to another profile for exampls and vice versa. AC seems to think that i need to configure my wlan security settings each time i switch to that profile and wont connect. I get an error message:
    The SSID 'WM2009' selected for this profile must be configured in windows. Click OK to configure the wireless settings in Windows'.
    I know that the wireless settings are fine, as i can connect with the window wireless client fine - its just AC that has the issue.
    Any ideas appreciated!

  • Access Connections Ver 5.30

    Hardware
    Original description: Based on 1951-43U: T1300(1.6GHz), 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 LCD, Intel 950, CDRW/DVDRW, 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, 9c Li-Ion batt.
    Software:
    OS : Windows XP SP3
    Having recently updated Access Connections from 4.52 to ver 5.30 on a Thinkpad T60, I've noticed that when I create a new wireless profile with WPA encryption then Access Connections fails to connect unless you disable encryption on the router.
    I had a Wireless profile previously configured before I migrated to Ver 5.30 and if I use this profile then Access Connections connects up to the LAN fine. My system is using the latest HotKey,Power management and Wireless drivers (see list below)
    - Hotkey Driver Version 2.11.0001
    - Power Management driver Version:1.52
    - ThinkPad 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini PCI Express Adapter v7.4.2.134
    I've since tried uninstalling AC (removing profiles) and tried reinstalling AC via a fresh install and still cannot connect to Wireless LAN with WPA encryption enabled.  I've also noticed that the
    Ctrl+FN5 key does not allow you to turn off the Wireless radios and simply turns on/off the Bluetooth radio when pressed.
    Has any one encountered any similar issues and if so, can anyone provide guidance on how to resolve this issue?.

    Rahul,
    I haven't exactly figured out a solution.  However, since then I have upgraded to Windows 7 and am using a combination of Lenovo Windows 7 beta drivers and Lenovo Windows Vista drivers and I no longer have this issue.
    Hopefully someone at Lenovo will see this and realize the Windows XP drivers are broken and fix them.

  • What's wrong with my Access Connections?

    Can u help me? When I upgrade the Access Connections to v5.61, I can't get into the Access Connections.
    Symptom 1: the process is running in the task manager, but no user interface comes out.
    Symptom 2: when I choose the profile of wireless network, it can't work normally - the status is "Limited or No Connectivity".
    The related services are running:
    Access Connections Main Service
    Ac Profile Manager Service
    Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Event Log
    Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Registry Service
    Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Service
    There is nothing wrong with the drivers and the hardware, coz I can use Windows configuration to make it work well. So what happened when I upgrade the Access Connections and how to fix it?

    Hi,
    the hint to uninstall Access Connection is something irrelevant.
    However, of course it's your decision.
    The basis is, that of course you have to upgrade all the apps and drivers like:
    Power Manager
    Power Management dirver
    System interface driver
    Hetkey features
    Wifi driver
    Once this is done, of course restart the system.
    Make sure, that the AC services are running and the "Windows Zero Configuration" and "Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0" windows services are also started.
    For your situation, also try to go into %programfiles%\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities and try to start following files:
    ACMainGUI.exe
    Access Connections.exe
    The "Access Connections.exe" is the original file, that should by default start. The second one should work, if you can see it there.
    Also please make sure, the you have .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.0 installed and configured for your system.
    NOTE to the persons, who are writing to uninstall Access Connection: Please don't place such notes, as this does not belong to this kind of forum. Valuable informations are of course appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Access Connection log file, no clear structure, behavior criptic

    I am troubleshooting an issue with Access Connection ver. 4.42 executing over a Lenovo Thinkpad T61
    I enable the log, using the login tab, for the Diagnostic option in the Tools Menu.
    The log generated is in html format, but the contents its very dificult to understand.
    I think the developer put this for debuging, and they know, what mean every entry ( I think).
    someone know the meaning of the entries in the log file AcconAdvanced.html ???
    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm..  that is a bit strange...  The 3945 card in the T60 and the 4965 card use the same driver, so you'd think the problem should be showing on both systems.
    When you switch to another profile and you get the pop-up window showing progress, at what point of it do you get a red X?
    Also, if you click "help me fix this" what error is listing?
    I presume this is with v4.42 of AC?  Might want to make sure that also have the latest hotkeys and power management driver if don't have them already...
    Hotkeys:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68000
    Power Management driver:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4GXPEG
    Don't use the driver from Intel's site, Access Connections needs to use the Lenovo driver in order to function properly.
    But, you could uninstall Access Connections and the Lenovo version of the driver and download/install the Intel driver with their PROSet application to see if it have the same behavior. That would help say if it's an AC problem or a driver issue.
    As for the disconnecting problem, can try changing the Power Management and Roaming Aggressiveness of the card.
    Edit each profile under Access Connections and on the Wireless Settings page, go into the Settings for Advanced Configuration.  Set the Power Save Mode to Low (best network performance).
    Then open Device Manager and open the properties of the Intel wireless card.  Go to the Advanced tab and change these two settings.
         Power Management: Uncheck Use default value and move the slider all the way to the right to Highest.
         Roaming Aggressiveness: Uncheck Use default value and move the slider all the way to the left to Lowest.  Click Ok and exit.  Then reboot the system.
    You may need to tweak the Aggressive Roaming setting to a left of middle setting if you find yourself not roaming soon enough.
    Try that and see if it helps....
