Connection Timed Out (Browsing only)

Hello
First of all I want to say Thanks BT for providing such amazing service since I switch from 02 2 years ago.
I currently got BT Infinity 2 unlimited download 76mb and it has been flawless! No problems whatsoever. I even had a mini LAN even during xmas. The speed is incredible!
However recently for the past few weeks my cable connection computer is constantly suffering a connection time out when browsing. So when accessing BBC Sport Facebook or Reddit it just times out randomly then after few seconds everything is ok again. My family streams alot and the laptops on wireless all seems fine. Strangly my bro and I also watch Twitch alot because of League of Legends. The time out only occurs in browsing however during league of legend chat window I also getting a time out notification.
This is not a serious problem as myself and my brother havent had a connection time out during online games so far. But the browsing issue is getting very annoying. Just wondering has anyone had this issue?

there are other psts on this board similar to yours https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/Cannot-access-BBC-or-Facebook/td-p/1309069

PLEeeeeASE help!! Why oh why is connection timing out for only one podcast?

Hi.
Previously I have had no worries downloading podcasts, but now suddenly have trouble with Nova 100's Hughesy and Kate.
(www.nova100.com.au/nova100PodcastRSS.xml)
When I try to download it, it comes up with an exclamation point saying "network connection timed out".
Other podcasts seem to be working fine, even bigger files.
Have tried deleting it from iTunes and then re-subscribing, both through the itunes store and through the advanced tab with the url. Still no luck.
Someone else had tried downloading from their computer, so URL must be working elsewhere. Have also tried disabling firewall.
Can anyone shed some light on why this might be happening pleeeease?!?!
Thanks v. much!!

I never figured out why the java.net code wasn't posting, but I've gotten it to work with the Apache Commons HttpClient. Funny since in another place we use that same java.net code to post XML to another site. I wish Sun would stop playing with their servers so much and focus on Java even more. ;)

SP01: Add-on connection timed out.

I have upgraded an existing add-on to SP01. It runs fine in development mode and it installs correctly using and installer and Add-on Administration.
When it tries to execute in production mode it gives the error: "Add-on connection timed out" after only about 12 seconds.
I have checked the sapbobscom2005.dll and it is the correct version and special build.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this are greatly appreciated.

Hi Mel,
This behavior is not new in SP01 to my best knowledge!
I remember having found the same behavior back in 2004...
What you need to do is to first connect to UI API + afterwards eventually do some more initializations!
HTH,

Help "there was a problem downloadig the software for the iphone. The network connection timed out. What to do??

Have tried downloading update for my iphone multiple times, get an error message : 'there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection timed out" It only took 45 mins. for the download but when it is processing the file, this is what happens. Any suggestions?

Disable your antivirus and firewall.

Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me.

Cannot access iTunes Store - "connection timed out" or "secure connection failed" issues.

If you are having problems connecting to the iTunes Store to:
(a)     activate a new iPod, iPhone or iPad; or
(b)     re-activate an existing iPod. iPhone or iPad after upgrading the OS for the device,
then hopefully this article will assist.
It is assumed that have encountered the following problem. When you connect your device to your PC the device is recognised by iTunes, but the main window simply displays the name of the device (e.g. iPad). The progress bar at the top says "accessing the iTunes Store", but it stalls and eventually there is an error message saying something like "connection timed out".
There are a number of variants of this problem, but the common thread is that your device is unable to access the iTunes Store to authenticate a new device or after upgrading the OS on an existing device.The first recaction is to check that your Internet connection is ok and that that "itunes.exe" a not being blocked by your Windows or third party firewall settings, but the problem persists.
Having recently experienced this problem and scouring the Internet for a solution, I eventually solved it using the following approach:
(a)     Check that you are connected to the Internet (i.e can browse the web).
(b)     Open iTunes and choose "Run diagnostics" from the help menu and then select the "networking connectivity" option (uncheck the other options) and click "next" twice. A report will show the results with a "green" or "red" dot next to each item. You should see a "green" dot next to the first two items ("Network interfaces verified" and "Internet connection verified"). However there will probably be a "red" dot next to the third item "Secure link to iTunes Store verified".
The important thing to note is that a secure connection could not be established. This is an indication that your wireless security is the problem. It does not satisfy the security level expected by the iTunes Store. It seems that an unsecure connection or one using outdated encryption (such as WEP) is no longer sufficient for the iTunes Store. This may be why the problem has emerged with the most recent versions of iTunes. The now widely used wireless encryption standard WPA or WPA2 is expected.
So you need to check your router wireless security settings and, if you have a PC that uses a wireless connection to the router, make sure its settings match. The following is a guide bearing in mind that there are many different types of routers and Windows OS.
Router
TIP: If you have a wireless connection from your PC to your router, then check your PC wireless security options first to see that "WPA" or "WPA2" are available (see below) as it will be a pain to change your router settings only to discover that your PC does not have the same options.
(a)     Most routers can be accessed using your web browser by typing in the router's address (e.g. http://192.186.1.1). If you don't know the address look at the mannual that came with your router as it will tell you how to do this.
(b)     Once your browser displays the router interface you may be prompted for a username and password. These may be the default factory or ones that you have created previously. If the username or password has not been changed, but you don't remember of know what they are again go to the mannual that came with your router as it will have that information.
(c)     Assuming that you are able to access your router interface, look for the "wireless" tab or menu and a sub-menu or option for the "security settings". They'll be there somewhere. Once you find the security options you can select the encryption level. As stated above, you should choose "WPA" or "WPA2". You will then be asked to create a network key which can be anything with the required number of letters and/or digits.
(d)     Once your finished write the settings down (including the key) as you will need them for your PC if you have a wireless connection to the router. Save the changes (if prompted to do so) and re-boot your router.
PC Wireless
(a)     Again the appoach that you need to take will depend on your OS (XP, Vista or Windows 7), but generally speaking if you go to the "network" on your PC there will be the option to highlight it and right click or choose a "properties" item. I vaugely think this can be done in XP by right clicking the wireless icon in the taskbar and navigating to the dialogue box that shows your network. In Windows 7 you will need to go to the "Network and Sharing Center" and then choose "Manage wireless networks".
(b)     At some point (sorry to be vauge) you will find the wireless network security options for your network. Select the same level of encrytion ("WPA" or "WPA2") and type in the same network key that you chose for your router. Save the changes and your wireless connection should come to life. If not then make sure that you have put in the correct settings before freaking out.
Back to iTunes
Once you are connected to your router again (wirelessly or by lan), then plug in your device and open iTunes. As before it will try to access the iTunes Store, but hopefully you won't have any problem establishing a secure connection and you'll be up and running.
Best of luck!

Something is still blocking iTunes, do you have any other firewall installed?
When you say you removed Norton, to you mean you uninstalled it. An uninstalled Norton security product can still bock iTunes as some of it is left behind.
Several people have found that using the Norton Removal Tool to remove all traces of Norton fixes this problem.

Connection timed out when try to connect orb through iiop

I have been trying to test a very basic corba example in weblogic 11g, it narrows an orb sucessfully with naming service, but I got connection timed out error when trying to call a function in the orb. My weblogic and my source code are on the same machine and I connect it with browser(coz it is a web application), so I doubt if it is firewall issues, but I could be wrong. I appericate so much if anyone can help.
Here is the error message I got, you can see I listed all the objects in the naming service and I am able to locate Hello object:

Don't mean to add to the possible confusion here, but most newer routers (Apple included) allow their users to "hide" their network, so it's also very possible and likely in an apartment situation that you can pick up interference from a network that you or Air Radar cannot "see".
So, trying to find the "right" channel becomes a bit more of guessing game.
Understand that you need "g" for your devices. For the future though, you might watch the Air Radar screen for channels in the 36-48 and 149-161 range to see how much less activity is going on there.

Hi christeag,
The only thing I can identify as an issue is that your Windows Firewall is running and iTunes is not enabled in it, so this may be the source of your issue. Here is an article for you that will help you rectify this situation:

Connection timed out, but diagnostics show I can connect OK. ***?

Problem: iTunes has recently crapped itself. I have no new software of changes to make. I am running the stock XP Firewall, and iTunes was checked fine. I unchecked and rechecked to no avail. I ran diagnostics and all seems well. I am using Symantec Endpoint Protection, but have been running that for years. I even made a new HOSTS file, but I still have no luck getting to the store. I actually want to conduct commerce here, but cannot. This seems to be a huge issue of late and I need your help.

I don't have an answer, but I thought I'd back you up by saying that I've had exactly the same problem. I received the same diagnostic messages.
I have tried completely disabling Norton Firewall (where I had already allowed complete access for iTunes and anything that looked remotely related) and turned of the Windows Firewall without any luck. I could launch a basic browser and navigate to the iTunes website manually, but from within the iTunes app, I continue to receive the "unable to connect... connection timed out" message.
I also uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. This appears to have made the problem only worse in that now when I run the diagnostic, it returns the following:

iTunes has never successfully accessed iTunes store.
This is incredibly frustrating. I have done many searches for the problem and found several bits of advice: clearing the DNS cache, clearing history and cookies in IE, etc. I've tried all of these to no avail. I would like to now deauthorize the system iTunes is currently on and set it up on another system, but without a valid connection to iTunes I can't even successfully deauthorize the computer.
I've seen several other forum posts over the past couple of years regarding this problem. Seems like Apple could have, by now, consolidated the responses and provided a straightforward troubleshooting document.

Network Connection Timed Out when downloading from...

I have only had BT broadband for a few months but am regretting it due to the huge number of dropouts I have - lose connection many times daily which is a big pain as I rely on this for my work.
One specific problem that has reared its head recently is if I try to download latest iphone upgrade from Itunes then after about 30 seconds it fails with "Network Connection Timed Out' and the connection breaks. This happens every time I try.
Also sometimes when I access sites I get TCP Network Error.
I know these problems are to do with the BTHub Router because if I switch to using my old Netgear Router which is still running on another line in the house (I need the backup as BT fails so often) then all works fine.
Can anybody help - or should I just throw it all away and try another provider?

Hi can youplease do the following
1 Bt quiet line test dial 17070 option 2 you should hear no noise any thing heard should be reported to Bt faults on 151 but do not mention broadband when you call once any noise is removed broadband should improve
2 run a Bt speed test speedtester.bt.com andpost back here the results in full
3 obtain your full hub stats byentering 192.168.1.254 into to your browser address bar and navigating to connection and post the full details back here then someone will be able to offer more help about your connection

When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
          ▪          port 80
          ▪          port 443
          ▪          phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com, ax.init.itunes.apple.com, ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net
iTunes uses well known ports and these ports may need to be opened for iTunes: 80, 443, 3689, 5297, 5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
          ▪          evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
          ▪          evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

Error: Network Connection Timed Out

I am beyond ****** off at the moment. My iTunes was working perfectly until two weeks ago, and now it insists my Network Connection Timed Out when I try to access the store or update podcasts.
It can't be my internet connection, because as you can see, I'm able to access the internet. For some reason it's this specific copy of iTunes (7.5), because the iT7 downstairs works perfectly. Of course, since Apple are so fecking stingy, I can't add a few files from there without wiping everything off my iPod.
So here's the run-down:
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8600, Windows XP, browsing with Firefox and attempting to load the latest podcasts onto my iPod Shuffle. I don't give a toss about downloading songs, I just want to update my podcasts without having to search the net for the source file.
I ran the Network Diagnostics and it insists the Conneciton to iTunes failed, suggesting I adjust my cable (i don't have one - it's wireless) or flush my dns settings (which i've done several times).
I found a thread on these forums from March and tried every solution:
- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... doesn't work.
- opening Internet Explorer 7, then opening iTunes... doesn't work.
- searching for a host file and removing the phobos apple line... doesn't work. The phobos line wasn't there
- using itunes 7... doesn't work.
- flushing my dns... doesn't work.
- turning off my firewall.... doesn't work.
- avoiding clashes with mcafee or zone alarm... doesn't work, cos i don't use those
I think it's appalling that I've tried all this, and i'm still no closer to knowing what the problem is, and that Apple failed to respond to any of the other people's problems in the earlier thread. And that i spent about ten minutes signing up to this fecking forum just to ask for help. Surely support should be readily available to anyone!
Can anybody help me? In the other thread, people found alternative sites for buying music, but has anyone got an alternative, ipod-compatible podcasting program?

I have this same problem. Here's what I can add to this discussion - iTunes accessed the iTunes store a day or two ago. I have a home network and can access the internet from all of the networked PCs. I can access the iTunes store from all of the networked PCs using Internet Explorer. I can access the iTunes store from my laptop iTunes. I can not access the iTunes store from my workstation PC. I get the same "network connection timed out" message. I downloaded and installed a new (same version) of iTunes on the workstation PC. both the laptop and the workstation are running the same OS (Windows XP SP2), both are Dell computers, both are accessing the internet via a wired connection to the same switch and the same router. All other internet connections work fine.
What's different? In the last couple of days my Workstation lost access to a network printer. I worked with HP for over an hour to re-establish network connection to that printer with no success. I have access to the same networked printer from my laptop.
The IP address for the network printer is identical to what it was when it was installed - HP suggests looking for a change to the IP address. I made no changes to the workstation PC, the home network or the router, ISP, or internet connection.
But, it seems to me that the loss of access to the HP networked printer and the inability of iTunes to access the iTunes store are related.
I also called Apple and attempted to get technical support. I own 4 iPods with 104 Gbs of storage on them, I own 1900 CDs and iTunes has 36.5 days of music loaded into it.
I purchased Apple Care on all of the iPods - it's expired and they never warned me. They want to charge me $29 to fix this problem - even though I no longer can purchase music via the iTunes Store, so I need to pay $29 in order to gain access to the iTunes store to spend more money with Apple?! Not a smart business decision. I own a few other PC based music programs and more than willing to transfer all of it out of iTunes and into one of the other products. I'll sell all the iPods on eBay and purchase other MP3 players if I must.
But, I suspect the problem is (1) Apple doesn't have a documented answer to this problem, (2) the level 1 techs that answer the support phone are clueless - they just e-mailed me the same article from the Apple website that I told them I read and does not apply to my problem, and obviously does not resolve my problem. (3) Apple is not setup to resolve this type of problem with their level 1 support, and they can't escalate the problem without charging us.
I'll try again on Monday, may even purchase Apple Care first and then use that. The Apple Care Tech Support is typically better than the free level 1 call in support.
Suggestions, comments, etc. are all appreciated.

JDBC Lookup in PI 7.1 - SELECT ? FROM DUAL and Connection timed out

Hi,
We have a scenarios (Idoc to JMS) with JDBC lookup. We have used graphical JDBC lookup functionality.
We are reading country names for a given country code from SAP in an external database table. The query is so simple. That should not take much time
Now the actual issues is,
When we are executing the scenario, its taking quite a long time. Almost 6 minutes to excute a mapping. Which causing high performance issue in the Porduction.
We started the inviestigation about found some interesting stuff. Here we have used Willy Introscope for the investigation.
1. First few messages are taking quite a long time. LIke 6 minutes per messages. As i can see in the log i am getting below error in Willy,
I dont know why PI is executing below queury apart from real secelt query to fetch the country name. I am getting below error: Error Message: Backends|ABCD2 mydatabase01-1526 (Oracle DB)|SQL|Dynamic|Query|SELECT ? FROM DUAL: java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection timed out
2. After couple of messages, interface works very normal. I mean rest of the messages works pretty fine.
Please let me know if you have any idea about this error. What could be the problem for the issue.
Thank you in advnace.
Best Regards,
Prasad.

Did you check how many SQL requests were executed per one message ? Do you have a log of these SQL requests ?
I assume that the country table is quite small, so that lookup should not be an issue.
About this:
>Message: Backends|ABCD2 mydatabase01-1526 (Oracle DB)|SQL|Dynamic|Query|SELECT ? FROM DUAL: >java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection timed out
1. I only know SELECT * FROM DUAL, not SELECT ? FROM DUAL. Better use the former
2. the exception means that the database server can not be reached => check your network configuration
So I assume that there is a network (performance) problem between PI and this Oracle server. Or the Oracle Server is so overloaded that it has (sometimes) problems in processing new requests.

Reissue: Connection Timed Out and Airport Admin Utility Issues

I put this post last November, but no one seemed to have a solution to it, so I thought I would try again...
Our lab has and Airport Extreme (802.11g). Intermittently (once a week to a couple of times a day) our airport extreme will stop allowing new connections. Here's what appears to happen. The airport still appears in the the list of networks in the airport icon in the menu bar (ie it still broadcasts SSID), but when I try to connect it whirls for a while and then says connection timed out. If I go to the Airport Admin Utility the base station doesn't appear there even though all of the rest of the ones on our network do (I should at this point, mention that we have both ethernet and WiFi layers on our network--the base station operates as an access point in bridge mode). The only solution is to power cycle the base station. A couple of extra tidbits.
* Base station firmware is current at version 5.7.
* We never have more than about 8 users connected to the base station.
* This inability to connect is independent of what computer is trying to connect and even occurs with iPod touches.
* This problem has occurred for a couple of years (multiple firmware versions).
* I also have similar problems on a network at home that has the new Airport express/extreme N arrangement on a cable internet connection.
* Sometimes this seems to fix itself after 30 minutes or so of just ignoring it. Other times it does not.
* The restoration of the ability of the airport to accept connections after the power cycle is always immediate.
* We only have 6-10 connections, less than the max supported.
* The Airport usually continues to work for those computers that are connected to it before it stops allowing connections.
So couple of questions:
1) Do other people see this problem?
2) Is this some problem with the WAN network connection impairing the ability of the base station to establish WiFi connection that eventually resets itself after something times our or resets?
3) Any suggestions as to what to do about it?

Two reasons I don't think that this is likely the issue. Both are based on my assumptions about how noise would affect the working of a WAP. If these assumptions are erroneous, please let me know.
The first is that I have tried both automatic channel selection and manual channel assignment based on an unused channel that was several channels away from other WAPs. Kind of circumstantial since other devices can emit noise in the same region of the spectrum (our phones are 5.8GHz and the microwave is no where near the base station.
The second though, is that I can stand literally a foot away from the base station with my notebook or iPod touch and still have the same problem. It would seem the the noise would have to be enormous to interfere with a device that close the the base station. Also, why would the other connected devices continue to work?
In the interest of providing a complete picture, I would say I have thought quite a lot about whether noise is a problem. This base station is installed in a lab, with lots of electrical equipment whirring away and to make matters worse, the base station itself needed to be installed right next to (Within inches) a circuit breaker box. I winced when I did this.
Interestingly, the thing normally does work and the signal strength & signal to noise (reported by airport utility) and transfer rates are quite good when you can connect.
Thanks,
Michael
