Connection times out when streaming/skyping/watchi...

Hi, recently my connection on my laptop has decided to cancel out after about 20 odd minutes of streaming or watching a video online. This started happening about 3 or 4 weeks ago and its really annoying because I skype with my girlfriend a lot. Now, when this happens and i open the connection tab it usually says "No internet access" . I have 5 bars of connection all the time, however, i notice once it goes it usually goes down to 3 or no bars. When this happens i disconnect on my laptop and then reconnect. I have tried updating some drivers which say they are all updated, i have changed settings like "always turn off this device if inactive" to unticked. I have bt infinity, the actual wifi does not disconnect because other laptops in the house seem to still be connected. I have a toshiba laptop which runs windows 7. Any help with this? I've tried many things but none have seemed to work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

just in case there is a network conflict you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.
when you say your updated the wireless card driver did you get it from the manufacturers website as that will be more up to date than windows update.
you can also try chnaging the wireless in the hub from default b/g/n to just b/g unless all your wireless devices are 'n' rated

    I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

    After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update.  I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt. 
    Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far.  Good luck, it is frustrating!  Hattie47

  • Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

    Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

    I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

  • How do you avoid Connection Time Out when using Migration Assistant

    Connection Time Out occurred when trying to use Migration Assistant to Transfer filess from a Windows Computer to a new iMac.  What do I do to avoid this?
    I've connected the Windows computer to the iMac using an ethernet cable and both computers are on the same network.  When I started the transfer, it said it was copying the first file on both machines but nothing was happening.  Then finally it said there was a Connection Time out.  Is there anything else I need to check?

    I suspect it has something to do with your network settings on your PC. I'd recommend calling AppleCare right away. you have 90 days of free AppleCare telelphone support, they can help walk you through the process. Also if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend Pondini's guide to using Migration Assistant. You can locate it by clicking:

  • ITunes Connect times out when trying to deploy an iOS app

    Ive been trying for the past hour to submit an app via xCode and as it trys to log into iTunes Connect I get a time out error.  Is anyone else realizing this issue?  Does anyone know whats happening and when we can expect it to be back up?

    Probably a temporary outage on the backend. Try again and it will probably work.

  • Network connection time out when connecting to Itunes store

    When I try to connect to Itunes store i get this message:
    "Itunes could not connect to iTuens sore network connection has times out Make sure your network connection is active and your network setting are correct"
    Can some one walk me through or link me to a site or discussion so i can get this fixed

    I had the same problem several days with the AppStore. Software-downloads did not proceed, i tryed everything, shut down firewalls, change the host-file, disable proxy-server - no success.
    I have Kaspersky-Suite as firewall and anti-virus-software.
    Accidentially I find a solution:
    - select in iTunes at downloads "Proceed" of a download-entry . iTunes then connect with the server, so it is enough time to:
    - right-click on the windows-tray-symbol of Kaspersky and select "stop service" (something like that, i work with the german version).
    Now, surprise, the download proceed and starts working again. In case the download is freezing again:
    - Reactivea Kaspersky-service with right-click as described above, then deactive the serve again as i described.
    Seems this "Workaround" opens a door to an network-connection Kaspersky usually block by itself.
    Shutdown the firewall and finishing the Firewall-Software is a good idea, but you never know, which process is running in the background despite you shutdown everything possible...
    Hope the "solution" is working for you!

  • Connection time out issue with wep security

    Does anyone know what is causing connection time out when connecting to WEP network.
    Password is correct.
    $ and x0 in front don't work.
    A solution would be great.
    Thanks

    Hello freestyleadamski. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    o The MacBooks back until late 2006 can handle 802.11n/a/b/g
    o The late 2006 MacBooks will require the "n"-enabler to support the same.
    o The mid-2006 MacBooks will only support 802.11b/g
    o The iPod Touch will only support 802.11b/g
    Which radio mode should I be using so I can connect my macbooks (I have one and my wife, hers is slightly older) and our ipod touch?
    In order of most to least recommended: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible), 802.11g only, 802.11b/g compatible, & 802.11b only.

    What is going on?
    It's being rewritten by dhclient or dhcpcd, most likely. You can put your settings in /etc/resolv.conf.head to get them to stick, because when dhcpcd rewrites resolv.conf it includes the contents of resolv.conf.head at the start of the file. You can also tell dhcpcd not to rewrite resolv.conf by adding "nohook resolv.conf" to /etc/dhcpcd.conf. I assume you can do the same with dhclient, but I don't know how off the top of my head and I'm writing this from a train with very patchy coverage on my phone so I'm having trouble getting the page to load.
    The culprit may also be pppd, if you're running ppp connections off this machine. You can disable usepeerdns in the config for that ppp peer.

  • E51 Wireless Lan - Net Connection Time Out

    Hi all,
    I cant get my E51 to open websites. It connects to my wireless LAN fine, but I get the message Net Connection Time Out when I try to browse to any website. Before the message comes up, it takes a minute or so of blank screen before the error message appears.
    I have a netgear router and I use WEP. The key is entered correctly.
    Has anyone come across this before?

    this probably is a case of a bug in ur device so what u can try are: plz make a back up
    take out your sim card and put in *#7780# to restore factory settings. you should not lose any data, but all settings will go into default. try that first.
    the second option is a reset *#7370# this one will erase all of your data, 'wipe the phone clean' and restore to factory settings. see if any of these options work and if you are able to use your phone as you like/need to.
    the third option U can go in for a hard reset which will turn ur device as it left the factory totally new
    U can also update/reinstall ur firmware and see the result...
    Also use ur device without the memory card and see
    in case of ur memory card there are different options available to you to get rid of the corrupt/unwanted data in your card.
    menu--tools--memory---options---format memory card......
    remember everything including ur factory installed apps will be deleted......... but u can always download them later either from nokia or google them...
    or insert ur card in any reader or laptop and check for virus and also the hidden folders.......

  • Time outs when redirected from RDS CB to RDSH

    Hi,
    I'm troubleshooting connectivity for the following setup:
    1x RD Gateway server
    1x RD Connection Broker Server also License server
    1x RD Web server
    1x RDSH server with multiple RemoteApps
    Gateway is configured to allow bypass for local connections.  Certificate has the correct name and is successfully installed. Certificate is from an internet CA.
    When users come in over the internet RemoteApps launch pretty quickly every time.  When users connect over the LAN RemoteApps launch successfully but much slower.  When users connect over some VPN connections the connection times out when launching
    a RemoteApp.
    Over VPN I can see a successfull CAP and RAP in the Gateway Event log.  I can also see a successful connection and successful redirection from the gateway to the connection broker over HTTP.  In the SessionBroker log I can see a successful connection, but
    then when the redirect to RDSH is attempted event 819 occurs "This connection request has timed out. User could not log on to the end point within the alloted time. Remote Desktop Connection Broker will stop monitoring this connection request."
    When you connect over the LAN it takes longer but successfully redirects, and when connecting over the internet (non VPN) it connects quickly and successfully.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    What’s your server and client version you are using?
    Please uncheck the option “Bypass RD Gateway for local address” for gateway setting and verify whether there is any improvement in connections. Also as you have commented that you are receiving time out when you use VPN connection, please see whether there
    is any blockage from firewall side for not allowing VPN connection to make the connections. 
    This might also occur due to antivirus or other 3rd party related software. Because as you can connect directly from internet without any issue but there is some problem with internal LAN and VPN connection, So seems issue with internal firewall\antivirus.
    Please check whether it is not blocked or any policy applied for not allowing connection. 
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • "connection time-out occurred" when my mac goes to sleep.

    When My macbook goes to sleep I get a "connection time-out occurred" when I try to connect to the internet. and I have to restart my mac and restart the router. The is always a BT hotspot page displayed on the screen.
