Console Connection problem

I am trying to connect from my Windows 7 machine through IE 8. I can create machines do almost everything I need to except connect to the console.
The error I get is below.
I am able to VNC into the machine that I have VM Manager installed on which is centos 5.0 and connect to the console just fine.
load: class VncViewer.class not found.

Firefox won't help you I'm afraid - the problem is actually at the server end not the client.
What you actually need to do is install TightVNC on your Oracle VM Manager node.
You can get it from http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/
You will then have to close down your browser on your Windows 7 machine and reconnect to the Oracle VM Manager system and try the console again. It will moan briefly about the certificate but accept it and carry on - you should not get the Java error again.
I found this a great help because the cursor control on my Oracle VM Manager is nearly imposible because I am 5000 miles away from it and over an ILO connection, but with TightVNC on my laptop I can get the same GUI up with mouse control that is as good as local!
Let me know if this fixes yours too!

SCCM console connection problem to SMS provider

I have installed sccm in the bolw deisgn for the lack of Cluster test environment. It is just to test SCCM HA.

not connect. What could be the reason? Is it possible by technology at all or not? If it is, how could it be possible?

Router Console Connect Problem With Mini Usb (1941 Series - Os Win7 64Bit) (SOLVED)

I can not connect console with mini usb, my router is cisco 1941 series and my os win7 x64 help me please ?
My problem was solved thanks to this topic;
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11492306/usb-console-driver-install-failing#comment-9697916

Hi,
Here is how I have managed to enable the communication with the 1941 using the usb A-B cable:
Download the usb console driver 3.1
Install the x64 version on your PC (as administrator)
After the installation was completed:
Open the Device Manager. There will be a new entry named “CiscoUsbConsoleWindowsDrive”. Expand it and select the “Cisco USB to Serial adaptor”.
From the drop-down select “Update Driver Software…
In the “Update Drive Software” dialog select “Browse my computer for driver software”
In the next window, a driver location should be displayed, if not browse your PC and find the …\Windows_64 folder where you have extracted the 3.1 driver.
After the driver software was updated, there should be a new entry in the “Ports (COM &LPT)” named “Cisco Serial (COMx)”.
You can configure the port here:
Right click on the “Cisco Serial (COMx)” and select “properties” and set the properties to this;
Bits per second :9600
Data bits              :8
Parity                    :None
Stop bits              :1
Flow control       :None
The new COM port should be ready to accept the connection with the router.
I am using Tera Terms VT, and it is working well with the above driver and settings.
Should you wont to use the Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP) download the 2.7 version and make shore you have the current Adobe Flush and a current Java installed on you PC.
Hope this will help.

Sun iplanet console connect problems

Hello,
We've changed the ldap port from 389 to 390, we did this via the iplanet console.
Restarted ldap, everything OK.
Now we want to change it back to 389, but we can not connect with the iplanet console.
It looks like that the console besides the 27400 also connects to port 389 which is not running.
Any help would be great
Regards,
Dirk

hello,
problem solved: read the following
If you want to change the port number of the Configuration Directory Server used by your Administration Server, you can use either the following GUI or CLI instructions (391575)(391363):
GUI Instructions:
Open the Directory Console and select the Configuration tab.
Change the LDAP port to a new value
Click OK. The success dialog tells you to restart the server for the changes to take effect. Do not quit Console.
Restart Directory Server from the command line.
Next, change the Administration Server LDAP port with the following steps:
In Console, select the administration server that you want to change, and then click Open.
Click the Configuration tab, click Settings, and then change the value for Port.
Click OK. The success dialog tells you to restart the server for the changes to take effect.
Quit Console.
Restart Administration Server
To change the Administration Server LDAP port from the command, use the following instructions:
Command Line Instructions:
Go to the Administration Server's server root and make the following changes:
Open /admin-serv/config/adm.conf and change LDAP port to the new Configuration Directory Server port number.
Open /shared/config/dbswitch.conf and change the directory default URL to reflect the new port number.
Restart Administration Server. When you launch Console, it will point to the new Configuration Directory Server port.
Note: The above steps are performed for each individual Administration Server in the topology that will use a new Configuration Directory Server.

I suggest you upgrade your saposcol on the Linux box, it's more than a year old and it's possible, that the SMD client needs a newer version that provides the data you're requesting.

10.4.5 connection problems

I recently upgraded to 10.4.5. When I used 10.3.9 my wireless connection was fast and dependable. Since my upgrade my connection and download speeds are a tenth of what they were using 10.3.9. Looking through these posts I see lots of people are experiencing connectivity problems with 10.4.5. I am almost ready to back up, reformat and go back to 10.3.9. Maybe somebody has some suggestions. My setup is as follows:
1) Cable modem connected to a Linksys Wireless G Access Point.
2) Third party (Buffalo) Wireless G card in the G4 (worked great with 10.3.9).
3) Unencrypted wireless network (my house is far enough from the neighbors that security isn't really a concern).
4) 2 windows computers connected via ethernet cables to the access point.
5) 1 windows computer with a wireless G USB adapter.
6) Wireless bridge connecting game consoles.
Thanks,
Rick

I have upgraded my network to 10.4.5 and have not experieced any issues with my ibook and my collegues powerbook which connect wirelessly.
I have a cable modem connected to a linksys wifi router without any issues.
However I am not using 3rd party wireless cards. It would sound like the airport driver that ran your card worked better for you under 10.3.9. Rather than revert your OS back to 10.3.9 have you considered using the older airport driver?
There are 2 airport kernel extensions on my 10.4.5 system
/System/Library/AppleAirport.kext
/System/Library/AppleAirport2.kext
You could use a utility such as pacifist to extract the airport.kexts from your panther disk and replace them in your current OS.
This hack may or may not work, I have not tried it myself. I dont endorse hacking systems other than my own or provide a guarantee it will work it is just an idea. So be sure to make a backup of your original extensions.

password: enter_your_correct_password given at the time of oracle installation
role: select sysdba if you would connect as sysdba else select normal for users other than sys
hostname: enter your oracle server hostname or ip address eg:- 192.168.11.12
to find the hostname open terminal/command prompt in oracle installed machine
type ---> hostname
type ---->ping hostname
you can find the ipaddress of the server
port number: 1521 (default) ----> i guess , else check the port number in the tnsnames.ora file under your ORACLE_HOME/network/admin folder

Try asking the Customer to fire up the JNDI browser in the admin console and try to browse the JNDI tree.
What class is the InitialContext.lookup() happening in? Is that getting executed in the servlet class or a standalone client?

EJB3: JNDI connection problem managed server

Hi all,
In a JUnit test, I tried to look up a Session EJB from a remote managed server:
Hashtable<String, String> props = new Hashtable<String, String>();
props.put(javax.naming.Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
props.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://server1.ux.yucom.es:1751");
props.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "userName");
props.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "pwd");
props.put(weblogic.jndi.WLContext.ALLOW_EXTERNAL_APP_LOOKUP, "true");
InitialContext context = new InitialContext(props);
Command command = (Command) context.lookup(jndiName);
But the code already fails while instantiating the InitialContext, because of a connection problem:
Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: t3://server1.ux.yucom.es:1751: Destination unreachable; nested exception is:

I'm able to connect to the the Admin server... In this case I receive a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException, obviously, since the remote EJB is only targetted on the managed server and not on the admin.
This is confirmed by following little test on the command line:
java -cp %WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.jar weblogic.Admin -url t3://server1.ux.yucom.es:1700 -username <user> -password <pwd> PING
=> OK, packets received
java -cp %WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.jar weblogic.Admin -url t3://server1.ux.yucom.es:1751 -username <user> -password <pwd> PING
=> Failure:
Failed to connect to server1.ux.yucom.es:1751: Destination unreachable; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect; No available router to destination
Does anyone has an idea why the connection to the managed server fails??
Is it a configuration problem in WebLogic?
Thx a lot!
Wim.

Hi,
Are you able to Remotely Access any Simple Web Application deployed on "server1.ux.yucom.es:1751".
Example: http://server1.ux.yucom.es:1751/TestApp/index.jsp
If NOT: Means Some where there is a problem with the Port...Just for testing Try Changin Manged Server port to Default HTTP Port (80).
If Yes: Then there are chances that Your Box is not allowing any t3-Protocol Traffic on 1751 Port. Just for Testing Enable HTTP Tunneling on this Server from Admin Console
AdminConsole --> Home-->Summary Of Servers --->ManagedServer1 ---> Protocol (Tab) ---> HTTP (SubTab) --->Enable Tunneling (Check This Check Box) Save the changes.
And then After restarting your Server ... Try to ping your Server using:
java -cp %WL_HOME%\server\lib\weblogic.jar weblogic.Admin -url http://server1.ux.yucom.es:1751 -username <user> -password <pwd> PING
In the Above command Use HTTP protocol instead of T3. If Now u are able to Ping the Server means Your Port 1751 was not allowing any other Protocol except HTTP.
Thanks

Sb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit

Asb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit'sI recently installed windows 7, because I was tired from Windows XP, but unfortunately after installing all the drivers for my hardware I realized my 5. isn't working quite as expected.
My first problem was, that the Crystalizer didn't work, after installing tons of different software, found on creative labs forums the crystalizer started working.
Then I realized that the CMSS-3D wasn't (and still isn't working). How do I fix that ? I've tried numerous ways but nothing happens, while in windows XP everything worked fine after installing the drivers.
I also miss some configuration options in the Creative Console Launcher, namely the check boxes:
?"Automatically enable headphone settings" and "Automatically mute speakers".
Where the hell did they go?! I use them, I need them. How do I get them back? Is XP somehow privileged than 7? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?
I also can't change the speaker configuration - it's stays 5. whatever I do, and the drop-down menu with the choices is missing?! Auto-detect option doesn't work, and if it did worked - I don't need it.

Timeouts and connection problems after 5.1(2) upgrade

AIM/chat and some other programs are having timeout/connection problems after upgrade to 5.1(2). I am using S241 also. The connection problems stopped when the IPS was set to bypass. Rebuilt IPS and left sigs at default settings and problem is still happening. I am not seeing any of the IPs that are having the problem in the Event Viewer or on the Events in the IDM.
Any known issues with the 5.1(2) that would cause this type of problem?

I don't know specifically, but I did notice that 5.1(3) was released today.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well.
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .
