Cannot connect to MDS through my Excel Add on

Installed MDS for SQL 2012. Created a website as a default website. I can navigate to the website.
But I cannot access MDS using the Excel add-on. Been struggling with this for hours now and very little out there on the issue.
When I connect I use all conceivable permutations of the URL...
http://server/mds
http://localhost/mds
htto://server:80/mds
http://localhost:80/mds
I get the following error
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
The connection failed because the URL is not valid or the Master Data Manager web application version is not supported.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
There was no endpoint listening at
http://server/mds/service/service.svc/bhb that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. (Microsoft.MasterDataServices.AsyncEssentials)
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. (System)
BUTTONS:
OK

Hi,
In addition to the message above. I enabled the logging in the Master Data tab in Excel (see Enabling Diagnostic Logging for advanced troubleshooting here
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/4520.troubleshooting-the-master-data-services-add-in-for-excel.aspx). The logging results added here. Still none the wiser.
But note that I recently upgraded by OS key from Windows 8 (basic) to Windows 8 Pro. So not sure if that has created a false positive (I.e. an MDS site working, whilst it actually does not).

Cannot connect to VPN through NetworkManager anymore.

I cannot connect to VPN through networkmanager anymore. Last time used it, it worked perfectly but I don't use it so often and last time was 2-3 months ago. So I don't know what went wrong, or which package upgrade broke it.
I switched to systemd a month ago, it may or may not be related.
I can still connect from the commandline using the vpn/vpn-disconnect tools.
All that happens is an alert windows saying: "The VPN connection '......' failed because there were no valid VPN secrets." And here is the journal:

Google did not turn up any useful info other than a few year old threads saying "upgrade your networkmanager".

Well, I managed to get the auth dialog to show up reliably by applying a couple patches from this Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679212
Still getting breakage in that it's not properly authenticating:

This behavior is not what I'm getting from the command-line client, of course, so... still digging.

After a while, cannot connect to WRT320N through 192.168.1.1

I have a WRT320N with latest firmware 1.0.03.
Everything works OK other than the fact that after a while (hours / days) I cannot connect to the router through http://192.168.1.1 but I have connection to the internet though. If I restart the router, I cannot connect to it but after a while I can't do it again. When I try, browser stays for minutes and eventually gives me the "Page not found error". This is happening from any computer (I have 4 computers wired and 2 wireless). The wired computers are connected through a GbLan switch and they have different OS: Vista(x64), XP(x86), Windows Server 2003 (x86) and Windows Server 2008 (x64). The 2 computers wireless connected are Windows 7 (x86) and Windows 2000. From all of them I have the same problem and after restarting the router I can connect again from any.
This behavior had been in place from the beginning but not being under pressure because I rarely have to change something in router's settings, I did not report it in time and now it seems is out of warranty.
My question is if this is something that happened to others (but I was not able to find any similar reports) or is it something wrong with my router? As I said before, other than that, router is functioning without any issues.
Thank-you

Is someone using bittorrent or any p2p software? p2p software, downloading using torrent opens a lot of TCP port, hogging the router's resources. Thus, accessing the router's gui is sluggish or not even opening up.
Upgrade the router's firmware.

CANNOT CONNECT TO WIFI THROUGH IPOD TOUCH 4G..ROUTER REQUIRES USERNAME AND PASSWORD..HELP NEEDED

i have a ipod touch 4g...and my router requires WEP key and a username and a password when i connect to it through my laptop..ipod touch only asks for a password i.e. the WEP key..question is how to enter the username and the password in ipod touch?

my service provider has provided me with a username and a password..therefore my router is "NOT ALWAYS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET"..also PPPoE is enabled...
i think i ll have to call the ISP and tell him to remove the username and password...because i dont think that ipod has a provision for entering passwords other than the WEP key..

Cannot connect to VPN through Time Capsule.

I have setup a VPN but my buddy cannot connect to it unless he bypasses his Time Capsule (2011 model) and connects his Mac directly to his cable modem.
The Time Capsule is setup with DHCP to lease out a different IP range than my VPN.
We have looked over all of the Time Capsule settings and cannot seem to find anything wrong.
My brother has a similar setup except using just a nornal Air Port Extreme and has no problems connecting to my VPN.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Port forward using the v5 utility.. I have strong suspicions about the v6 for port forwarding.
It does depend on what particular VPN you are talking about.
Check what ports are required.
You can load v5 utility even into Mountain Lion .. as well as later Lion versions thus and so.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

Cannot install nor uninstall Analyzer for Excel add-in

When I try to run the Analyzer installer executable, which was downloaded directly from our BI Publisher server version 10.1.3.2, the installer only asks if I wish to UNinstall the add-in. Since I have no other choice, I say yes, thinking I can start all over. It goes through it's cute little progress bars and states that it finished uninstalling. No matter how many times I run the installer, it always asks if I want to uninstall the currently installed add-in.
The add-in does NOT appear in the list of installed add-ins inside Excel.
That's just for starters. If I open an Excel Analyzer template workbook, the 'Oracle BI Publisher' menu appears. When I try to login, it says that the add-in must be updated, so I confirm. Then it successfully connects to our BI Publisher server, and starts downloading/installing various files. But this process terminates with an error, stating that the update process failed, and I will not be able to refresh the data.
There is an entry in the Windows Add/Remove Programs utillity that corresponds to the Excel Analyzer Add-in. No matter how many times I click the Remove button, this item will not be removed from the list. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 and repeating this entire process. The result is always the same. I can neither install nor uninstall the Analyzer add-in.
Is there any way to make the installer re-install the Analyzer without thinking it's already installed? Is there some utility provided by Oracle that will manually remove the mess that is Analyzer for Excel?
I HATE the Analyzer for Excel, but it's the only interface to our data warehouse that everyone is skilled enough to use.

After failing to uninstall the program again, I tried using the 'Repair' option of the XMLPReportAddinSetup.msi package. That seemed to finish normally.
So then I tried to open an Analyzer template file. It opened, but when I tried to use the 'Login' item from the 'Oracle BI Publisher' menu, it said it needed to update the add-in. Instead of updating it, I chose to UNINSTALL the program, because I thought it would now have enough pieces to complete the uninstallation. It still won't uninstall. It is still listed in Add/Remove programs.
The next time I did the whole process again, and when I got to the point where the add-in says it needs to update from the server, I confirmed. This update again failed with an error.
I still cannot uninstall the program. I noticed also that the date on the program in the Add/Remove Programs listing is from Sept 30, not today.

Cannot connect network drives through network switch

macmini cannot see network drives connected to airport extreme. Network drives are connected through dlink 48 port 1 gig switch.How can
I edit airport extreme to see these drives?

The switch will be unlikely to have anything to do with the problem.. but bypass it and see.. plug a laptop or something directly into the extreme.. do the disks now show up?? If not the Extreme setup is wrong.. if they do and you can transfer files.. something is odd with the switch and you will need to work with dlink to figure if it is blocking some protocol.. Tell us how this test works out.. you can force the mac to use SMB by manually mounting the drive.. No switch is going to block SMB.
Do the external drives show up on the extreme in the airport utility?
Have you turned on file sharing?
Make sure in finder preferences you have enabled network drives.
No go, are the drives formatted correctly.. they must be HFS+ or FAT32 format..
I used to say GUID partitioned but not sure now..

Cannot Connect To Wireless Through Windows 7 Bootcamp

Hey guys,
To start, I have the retina display Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion, meaning I have no ethernet port or optical drive, so any of those fixes are out of the picture.
I recently installed Windows 7 through bootcamp and I found I had no internet. So I googled it on another computer that was using the same wi-fi and found out that I hadn't installed my mac drivers, simple enough. So installed them through the USB I used during bootcamp.
After installing the drivers, the error of "You have no network drivers" dissappeared and it showed my networks. So I clicked on the network that my OS X connects to, and less than a second after I typed in my credentials and pressed enter, "Windows was unable to connect to (network name)" popped up. So, I clicked "Troubleshoot problems" and it told me that "Troubleshooting coudn't identify the problem."
I thought I'd check random different options, so I typed in random credentials that I'm sure nobody has on this network (User: ahsdeu, Pass: hshah), and I get the same problem. Maybe it's my User/Pass then? No, I use the same credentials on my OS X, and it's working just fine. I used my guest profile to be sure I was logging in to the connection on OS X from scratch. And the internet IS working, I can use Safari just fine.
All nearby wi-fi networks are password protected, so I can't try using one of theirs.
I went to the internet and googled this problem, but the only solution people were giving was install the drivers through CD/USB. But I already did that.
Here's the settings on my Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter:
Device type: Network adapters.
Manufacturer: Broadcom
Location PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0
Device status: This device is working properly.
The driver is up to date (or so it says).
As far as the network settings go, the IP, Subnet and Gateway are all set to auto (I already tried putting in manual information I got from another computer attached to the network, didn't work). It is enabled (tried disabling then renabling).
I turned off firewall, no dice. I've tried re-instaling the setup from my USB with the "repair" option with no success.
One more random note, sometimes instead of giving me the "Windows was unable to connect to..." error, it asks for my credentials again. THEN it tells me the error.
I know it's a lot to read, but I figured I'd try and reduce the amount of questions by being very specific in explaining my problem.
Thank you in advance for any help at all. I hope somebody out there can help me and any future users who encounter this problem.

I'm having the exact same problem although I have Windows XP. I submitted an email to iTunes Support, but the auto response I got indicated that I would have to wait up to 48 hours for a response. I'm pretty annoyed by that. I can't believe there isn't a phone number I can call for help. Someone just told me that if I had a protection plan I could call, but as much money as I spend on iTunes already........

Cannot Connect to Domain Through Wireless Connection

Hello TechNet Gurus,
As the title suggests, I am having issues connecting to my domain through a wireless connection. I am running Windows Server 2008 R2 (Data Center and Enterprise) to build my understanding of server administration to supplement my undergraduate
coursework (B.S. Computer Engineering & Cyber Security minor). So far I have a working domain controller attached to a switch that I re-purposed from an old WRT54G Linksys router. In turn, the switch is attached to a WRT54GS Linksys router.
When connected through physical media, the domain controller works as expected. I can connect to the domain from two personal laptops running Windows 7 Professional and from two virtual environments running Windows 7 Enterprise. Through these connections, I
can divvy out group policy, access network drives, and other services successfully. However, I attempted to connect wireless, and when I do, I continually get an error indicating that my username/password is incorrect. I carefully re-input the login information
(over-and-over), and I even recreated the user/computer objects. All to no avail.
After a couple of days of research between classes, homework, and work, I found some promising tips:
Added the following entry to the registry for the local machine: %comspec% /c netsh wlan connect name="JBnetwork"
Added the following local group policy (using gpedit.msc): Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
Unfortunately, the above tips have not resolved the issue. From what I understand, the issue stems from the order that the wireless software and domain authenticate. I have also read that this may purely be a networking issue that is not directly related
to Active Directory or Windows 7 configurations. Whatever the situation is, this has me completely stumped and I could use some expert advice.
This is my ipconfig, for the reference:

Thanks to anyone who can help!

@Zanderol24,
Thanks for following up with me. I completely forgot about this post because I was able to figure out a solution by poking around in Group Policy.
The issue was a pretty simple fix. I tweaked the wireless policy a bit: Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies.
Thanks again!

Cannot connect to internet through AirPort in Costa Rica - HELP!

Hello,
I have been traveling Costa Rica for the past few days, and have had no problem connecting to WIFI across the country, but, tonight, I am not able to connect. I clicked on my AirPort icon > Open Network Preferences. The Status reads "On", BUT under the status is a message that says:
"AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169... and will not be able to connect to the internet."
Reading through the posts here, I have tried several fixes...
- Renew DHCP Lease
- Repair permissions
...And still no luck.
I have no access to the router itself, because I am staying at a bed and breakfast. Anyone have any other ideas?
I really appreciate your help in advance. I love this community!
Sincerely,
Nathan

Hey,
This is obviously seems to be a DHCP problem, do you have any other wireless devices with you like an iPhone, iPad or just any wireless capable device ? If yes, try to connect through it and see if it will obtain a valid IP address successfully, if it didn't, then surely it's a router issue that it isn't able to distribute IP addresses, if you don't have a second device, can you see any ethernet connections in the wall ? another solution is to contact the IT person at your location and ask him if you should configure your network settings manually and if so, what would be the settings. Sometimes something as simple as restarting the router fixes similar issues

Viral, we may need to see:
- The code you're using to log in
- A description of the setup
- Whether you can get in using the same username/password through other protocols.

Sys User cannot connect to DataBase10g through ODBC

Hi guys ,
am making ODBC connection of Oracle 10g2 with sys user from xp administrative tools(Data sources ODBC) but it's giving me error.
ORA-01017:invalid username/password ;login denied.
with the same user /password i connect many times at sql* plus.
Please guide me why its all happening.
Note=ODBC connection with other user HR/Scott have no problem.

Using sql can very well mislead. See below,

Connected.
SQL> connect tom/kyte as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> conn aman/sharma as sysdba
Connected.
SQL>So would suggest that change the password while being connected as Sys from sqlplus (easiest way) or through recreating the password file and retry the connection.

HI,,,,, i HAVE USED THE SITE CALLED OUTPERSONALS FOR SOMETIME BUT CANNOT CONNECT ANYMORE EVEN THROUGH EMAILS RECEIVED FROM THE SITE ,,, ANYBODY THERE HAVE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE ,,, THANK YOU ,,,

used the site lots in the past but it now says its insecure site
and wont connect me

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

Cannot connect to Serv through my computer's Oracle SQL Developer client.

Connection issue:
When I try to connect to the server , I receive the following message:
“An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Vender code 17002”
The odd thing is that I am able to connect through the Citrix SQL Developer using the same settings. My internet connection is working fine, and I am not connected to a VPN.
Please assist me.
Thanks,
Vas

OS/Networking mis-configuration!
Oracle is the victim; not the culprit.
Root cause & fix are external to Oracle.
Is any type of OS Virtualization involved here?
