Connect times are dreadful, related to DNS

I had FiOS installed on Tuesday 11-Feb-2014. I got it, but I don't get it. 15/5 tier, Actiontec M1424WR-Gen3I, 40.21.10.2 firmware. I'm running Vista and my browser is Firefox 27.0.1. I experienced the problem with a wired connection yesterday, before I pinpointed DNS. I have not tried wired since.
speedtest shows consistent 15.xx/5.xx, as promised and expected. It's connecting to speedtest.net (or any website for that matter) that is the problem. I gathered data using Network Monitor in firefox that led me to the conclusion that the problem is DNS. I am using OpenDNS on my computer.
I've been trying to track this down for 2 days, and here's the latest:
Here are the results of "ipconfig /all" at 5ish pm after a restart. Connections times were all good.

I played a game for an hour (plants-vs-zombies if you must know) in a private browsing session for about and hour, then left the computer for two hours. Computer and router both on. When I returned at 8ish, connect times were dreadful again.
When I ran ipconfig /all again at 8 pm this is the result:

The only difference is in the DNS servers. How did this happen and how can I stop it from happening ? This could be a deal breaker. I have not contacted Verizon support yet.
Thanks in advance for any advice or solution you can provide.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found out why that is happening (suddenly having an IPv6 address for DNS). If I disconnect/connect through Network and Sharing center the wireless network connection gets and IPv6 DNS address. When it connects during system start/restart it does not.
Thank you both for your help and guidance. I will mark the "disable IPv6" as the answer, since that should always work.

Call connection times are long

Hello,
I have iPhone 5 and I live in Turkey. When I want to call someone, my call's connection times are very long. For example, when I pressed call button, I have to wait 9-10 sec to hear first ring tone. I have had this problem with my previous and new service provider. I think this is a device problem.
Is it OK to connect a call in 9-10 second to someone? Or my device has a problem. What can I do for that? If I bring my device to Apple store in Europe (in international warranty), can I switch it with a new one ?
Thank you.

That is weird, but sounds like a carrier issue...
I have been to Europe with the iPhone 4S call connections should be nearly instant (1-3 seconds lag, if any)
In America, the traversal time from the phone to the network is about 5-6 seconds.
So, for you, 10 seconds is strange.

ADI Connection times

Hi, I'm wondering if any other customers use ADI over a WAN link. We connect from the UK to the US via a 512k link and get a tnsping time of 1500ms initially, then 450ms and a regular ping of about 200ms. When we connect to ADI it takes 3+ minutes to connect, with the worst connection taking over 15 minutes. We are on the latest version of ADI and have tried tuning SQL*Net but so far with no success.
If anybody else runs ADI in this way what sort of connection times are you experiencing.
thanks

Wow, I've never had a question go this long without a reply. No help from anybody?

Netflix app error - Please make sure network connectivity and date and time are accurate

Am getting this error message when trying to view instant movies via ipad2 or iphone. Anyone have this error? I can't connect to Netflix via either device - I've tried unistalling & re-installing Netflix app on both devices. I am connected to the internet via our home network and date & time are correct on all devices & home computer - any other setting I'm missing? I didn't have any of these problems before I installed the new iOS5 on my devices. Netflix said it's an apple operating setting that needs to be modified.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

HI Jason,
I feel for you. That's a lot of work!
How large is the partition you tried to create using BootCamp for Windows?
And how much free disk space is on the MacBook startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
Just in case, check the Mac startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart

Can't connect to the iTunes Store

I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.

I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.
It is becoming frustrating to try to get it activated .
I do not know how to get it activated when it keeps informing me that there is no net work connected
Could not sign in please check your network connection and try again.
For both iMessage and FaceTime .
Any radical solution that you have will be appreciated as it is becoming frustrating .

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

ORA-02399: exceeded maximum connect time, you are being logged off

What could have been the cause of "ORA-02399: exceeded maximum connect time, you are being logged off"? I am always getting that issue even if I am continously doing some query.

There's a resource limit active (RESOURCE_LIMIT=TRUE in pfile/spfile) and a user_profile (which limits the connection time) dedicated to the user.

Getting Connection Time out while connecting and with tnsping

Could you guys please help me out here?
Thanks.

That tnsping error indicates several possible problems, most related to the setup for the client. Or network setup on the database server host.
Connecting to a database using sqlnet requires three things, the database host, the listener port, and the ORACLE_SID or instance SERVICE_NAME.
The tnsping utility is only concerned with the first two items, host and port. It will not perform an actual connection, and will not verify the tnsalias ORACLE_SID or SERVICE_NAME values.
An "OK" result from tnsping verifies that the specified host has a listener running at the specified port and it is servicing connections.
Since you're not getting an "OK" from tnsping, could be something is blocking the connection (i.e. firewall), the host= specification is not correct, or the port= spec is not correct. Note that host= must either be a valid and correct hostname, or a an IPv4 address. If IPv6 is in the mix, only the correct hostname will work. A hostname that resolves correctly.
Look at your network interface setup on the host, find its IP address, make sure the IP will `ping`, and try a new sqlnet.ora entry with the IPv4 address.
ifconfig -a
<interface>: flags=...
inet n.n.n.n
# in sqlnet.ora:
xe2 = ... host=n.n.n.n ...
tnsping xe2
... ok? ...

Connecting Time Capsule to PS3 Slim

We are having a heck of a time getting our new PS3 Slim to work with our TimeCapsule (wireless internet connection). The PS3 sees the Time Capsule, but the PS3 queries against the Time Capsule and then times out before it ever gets an IP address from the Time Capsule. We have WPA2 incryption. So we looked on Google, and someone said we needed to convert the password to a hexidecimal string (which we did using Airport Utility). When we got this string, it was all cap letters and numbers. When we entered it, the PS3 told us the format was wrong, which we assume is because it needs a lowercase letter, which the Aiport Utility did not give us.
We have other computers using our network, so we know connectivity is not the problem. We can't seem to get the PS3 to talk to Aiport.
Anyone had this problem and have a solution? Do we need to change to WEP? Do we need to change the Time Capsule password to a numeric string? We are at a loss.
Thanks.

We have our PS3 connected wirelessly to our Time Capsule > ADSL Modem > Internet, first I used the Easy option to configure the PS3 then once I had a connection went back and Customised the settings.
One thing to make sure of is the *WAP2-PSK (AES)* Key make sure you enter it correctly as mistaking a capitol I - i for a lowercase l -L will mess everything up.
*PS3 Network Settings*
*Internet Connection:* Enabled
*Connection Method:* Wireless
*Signal Strength:* 90%
SSID: *****
BSSID: *****
Channel: 1
Security: WPA2-PSK (AES)
*WPA Key:* *****
*Address Settings:* Automatic
*IP Address:* ***** (I set my Time Capsule to reserve this IP Address for my PS3)
Subnet: 255:255:255:0
*Default Router:* (This shows my Time Capsule IP Address)
*Primary DNS:* 212.159.6.10
*Secondary DNS:* 212.159.6.9
MAC: *****
MTU: Automatic
*Proxy Server:* Do Not Use
UPnP: Not Available (I set to enable when going through the setup process)
NAT: Type 2
Another thing to note after you have successfully got your connection running is the DNS addresses. I did have ours set to Automatic which was then using the Time Capsule, however going onto VidZone I could not get videos to play, Playstation Home was fine. So I went back into the settings and changed the +Primary and Secondary DNS+ addresses to the ones my ISP states on their website. After this all the videos in VidZone run like a dream.
Hope this helps some people.

[SOLVED] Pacstrap connection time-out

SOLUTION: Don't be a newbie like me and not know what DNS stands for. What I did to solve my problem was simply modify my /etc/resolv.conf to point to 8.8.8.8 instead of my default gateway.
G'day everyone, I apologize in advance for my lack of experience.
I understand this distribution is not for beginners, but I personally love steep learning curves as it provides the most enjoyable and interesting experience for me.
It's also the fastest way to learn.
Albeit, I have yet to even successfully install Arch!
I'm a little put off, but I've already deleted my Windows partition so now I am committed.
Anyways, so I've been following the absolutely wonderful Beginner's guide. But I seem to have made some huge mistake, or something is terribly wrong.
I'm only upto the part where it suggest typing "pacstrap /mnt base base-devel".
However when I put that command in, I am eventually returned with:
1 root@archiso ~ # pacstrap mnt base base-devel
==> Creating install root at /mnt
==> Installing packages to /mnt
warning: database file for 'core' does not exist
: : Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.aarnet.edu.au : Connection time-out
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from ftp.iinet.net.au : Connection time out
Etc etc. I tried using the original Mirrorlist and that gave me back 30 odd different server connection time outs. So I switched to just the Australian servers. It managed to download the 'extra' and 'community' packages when I swapped (they weren't downloading earlier either).
I've done a bit of searching (probably not enough) but I'm about to head off to sleep as it's almost midnight and I have work tomorrow. So I figured there's no harm in posting as that gives people many hours to respond. What I did find in my searching was that things like this occur when iPv6 is enabled. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of restarting (or so I believe), because as you may have seen I'm actually trying to still install! So I'm a little stuck? Any help at all is appreciated, even if it's like

I think you can use those installed packages in order to install into your home computer. Please go through the following link

Itunes update to firmware fails, because connection times out.

I have been unsuccessfully attempting to update my iphone 3gs and ipad to iOS 5 for over a month now. I have spent many, many hours on this, and many phone calls to apple support. I disable Norton 360, and windows firewall, and my firewall on my router. I've tried updating my router's firmware, which bricked the router--thanks apple for insisting this was the problem, and I have replaced the router, with a new one. Itunes diagnostics gives me the following information. I am using itunes as the administrator in Windows 7, 64 bit, although itunes doesn't recognize it, unless I reinstall it as the administrator, but then once I restart the computer, itunes no longer recognizes that I using Windows as an admin.
Also, the firmware cannot update, because the connection times out, despite all my firewalls, and antivirus being turned off.
I've tried downloading iOS 5 and then updating using restore, but that didn't work. I've poured through support forums, and error codes: I get 1611, etc. Cannot seem to resolve this.
Any ideas?

*Fix* Usage and Standby Times are the same - iPhone 4S 7.0.4

I'd like to share my experience here because I actually found the solution on here but I'm actually having trouble finding it again.
I had three problems:
1. My standby and usage times were always reporting the same values, thus draining my battery faster than usual. This is not normal behavior; whenever the screen is off it should report standby times, and after the phone is unlocked it is considered usage. They should never be recording in tangent.
2. Whenever I would try to turn off my phone by holding down the power button, the phone would basically restart itself, showing the Apple logo boot screen and then restarting. The only caveat was that it would turn off if it was plugged in and being charged. But take it off the charger and try to replicate it turning off and it would restart.
3. The sound would sometimes think that it was connected to a Dock, so when I went to the Airplay options, they were listed as Dock Connector, Airport Express and Apple TV. There would be no volume slider in the Control Center, and when pressing the volume buttons, there would be no dots, just the bell with a line through it.
Many people might be having genuine battery issues, where you have an older phone and your battery is just really bad and needs to be replaced. My 4S was still under AppleCare in December 2013 and the battery was pretty bad, so I had it replaced in an Apple Store. So for me, the battery life itself was not the problem.
I tried a lot of things to try and fix the above problem but none of them helped. This includes chatting with Apple support (I was surprised they didn't steer me in an obvious direction, considering the large amount of folks who were having these kinds of problems, but they played dumb), restoring fresh and restoring icloud and itunes backups, all kinds of combinations of settings for Mail, iCloud, etc., but nothing worked. I probably restored my phone at least ten times in my troubleshooting efforts. The isolated test of restoring my phone fresh, setting it up to the start screen, making sure the battery was charged 100% and taking it off the charger waiting about 10 minutes. Then I would check standby and usage times.
I had read about fixes for the phone not being able to turn completely off, and it had something to do with cleaning the charging port. I attempted to clean the port with compressed air and other methods, but it never fixed this problem. Then I read a post on Apple Support about a guy who had the exact same problems as I did, then said he changed out his charging port and this fixed it. Well, it was $40 so I paid someone to do it in 45 minutes.
After I got my phone back the problem didn't appeared to be fixed, but after a restore and even with an icloud backup restored with it, I looked down at my phone and presto chango, the times where separate and working as they should. Last night with wifi off while I was sleeping, the battery only went down 3%. I know this is turning out to be a narrative, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the problem was and it was a frustrating process. I'm happy it's resolved.
Apple Support thought it was a corrupt install package from iTunes, or some kind of software glitch or maybe some part of iCloud constantly trying to call home, but it was a combination of both hardware and software. Because of the bad charging port, for some reason the phone thought it was still being used and thus was still treating standby as usage.
I would encourage those that are having this problem to do a test and see if your phone will turn off when you want it to. If it resets automatically and if your standby usage times are the same, replacing the charging port might fix it.

Ever since iOS7.0.6. and still on iOS7.1 both me and my wife had huge battery drain on our iPhone 4S and stand-by was equal to usage time. We finally found the solution to a post of another user on the Dutch Tweakers forum. There seem to be a bug within a certain Dutch coupon app called 'Scoupy' which drained the battery completely although GPS setting was turned of and also 'refresh on background' was off.
Scoupy said that a fix for their app is send for approval to the App Store. We removed the app and our usage/stand-by time is again as normal (higher stand-by time then usage time) and best of all a 'normal' battery use as it was the case on iOS7.0.4. I hope this could help someone. I'm wondering if the iBeacon changes in iOS7.0.6/7.1 together with a bug in the Scoupy app could be the cause? Maybe this is also with our similar apps you have on your phone.

My MacBook Pro retina 2013 won't charge. I've checked all connections which are all ok. Little red light shows on magnetic plug, instead of usual green.

If you are seeing a Red LED, you may have a faulty MagSafe Adapter.
I remember reading that the orange light is produced by a combination of a Red and Green LED. If that's the case, It seems that the adapter isn't lighting the green LED properly at that time.
I would suggest you seek service with your nearest Genius Bar (Apple Retail Store) or Apple Authorised Service Provider as they have access to diagnostics which may assist in isolating any hardware issues you may be experiencing.
Cheers.

Message Mapping - connection time out

Hi ,
I hae just created a message mapping and when I click on Test tab and load a payload in source and try to test the mapping , it gives me connection time out error from java...
What could be wrong ? Mapping involves an XML to IDOC .
Cheers,

Hello,
I think so (Experts, please correct me if I'm wrong). Before, we had a scenario in which the external definition was about 960kb. It really did post issues when testing in the message mapping itself. There are three options:
a.) Use less detail in your sample message mapping, in this way you can correct the error in the mapping itself.
or
b.) Test in operation mapping, and then do the correction in message mapping afterwards. If the testing is successful, make sure that you don't click the drop down icon. Instead, export the result as a zip file and then extract it. (if this hangs, go for c)
or
c.) Test at runtime
Hope this helps,
Mark

Connect times are dreadful, related to DNS
