Did 7.4.2 solve windows losing connection to TC share
I was hoping this new firmware would solve the my issue but at least for me it still persists.
After restarting my TC I can connect my XP box to my TC share.
Though after a few minutes - approx 10 or so - I receive a message that the drive is no longer available, and I can no longer connect unless I restart the TC. My Mac work fine.
This a the newer dual band TC from early 2009 so I can't roll back to anything before 7.4.1.
toonz,
this is the file from the network diagnostic I did while still running 7.4.2.4 - I also sent it with an email to the tech support for itunes store; so far all I've heard back is that they are working on it and will send me an email when it's fixed. (by the way, I deleted the ip addresses etc. but everything else is the same as it was then.)
Running itunes 7.3.2.6 is working fine, by the way, I was immediately able to connect to the store and download. If anyone else is thinking about downgrading, try saving your playlists first (search for 'saving playlists' in itunes help) because you won't be able to use your old itunes library file. I don't know if saving the playlists separately will help, since I didn't know that would happen when I started. meeshala

Windows 8.1 laptops losing connect to network share
Good Morning,
We have a few laptops that seem to be able to connect to our network file share and then al of a sudden, its unable to find or access this file server. Trying to isolate what the issue could be. I am going through GPO setting to see if something
is misconfiguration. I know with Windows 7 there used to an excel spreadsheet that explained what settings did what for different systems. The logs do not seem to be providing much help.Neeskokotywak,
If you haven’t already, try connecting to your share by IP address.
If this works and stays connected, it’s almost certainly DNS issues that you’re having.
It’s also worth trying a few commands on the laptops experiencing these issues.
Press your Windows key and X simultaneously and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Make sure to choose the Admin option as you’ll need elevated privileges for some of these commands.
Enter the following commands:
ipconfig/release
ipconfig/renew
ipconfig/flushdns
netsh winsock reset
You didn’t mention what method you were using to connect to your file share but more information on creating a shortcut to your network share can be found on
this webpage. I hope this helps!

[solved] Can't connect to samba shares
This is probably my fault, but for the life of me I can't figure this out. I started out trying to get usershares to work by following the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba, and I am unable to connect to the resulting shares either from the local host or from my netbook. It tells me permission denied. I then tried creating a public share with guest access, because I couldn't get the usershares to work. I am unable to get that working either. I have
chmod 777 -R
the folder I am sharing, as well as the
/var/lib/samba/usershare
folder. Please help. Here is my smb.conf:
#======================= Global Settings =====================================

Last edited by mdshann (2014-03-04 06:01:04)uninstalled samba, reinstalled it. deleted old config file. created new config with just the contents that the wiki states is necessary for usershares to work. the current smb.conf looks like

added my user to samba using
pdbedit -a -u mdshann
started smbd and nmbd and enabled both. tried to share a folder, caja says samba is not installed. use yaourt to search for caja and find package mate-file-manager-share. installed said package, killed and restarted caja. shared folder and told it to add permissions automatically. checked the boxes to allow guest and to allow users to change files. still I cannot connect. just for reference, I have used the wiki article sections from the beginning of the article through adding a user. I did not use the creating a share section as I want usershares to work through MATE and CAJA. It creates the share and it is visible on the network, I just can't connect to it.
Pretty much the same as what I tired before, with the same result. Only difference is I haven't tried manually creating the share through smb.conf, but that didn't work before either. No reason to think it will work now, the problem was the same whether I used the gui usershares option or adding the share to smb.conf.
I was able to get samba working with a very similar config file as in my first post, on arch based manjaro on my server at work. I did not enable or use usershares at work, but creating the shares in smb.conf worked just fine. Why will the same procedure not work on arch? Same packages for the most part, manjaro just adds a few. In fact, when I set up samba on manjaro, I used the arch wiki article, as Manjaro's wiki is sparse. Main reason we used manjaro at work was the speed of installation was much quicker, and we needed the machine back up quickly so we could start backing up our customers data. (I own a PC repair shop.)
On a side note, this community has served me well in the past the few times I have have issues since I started using arch 5 years ago. Why my post has gone so long without a reply other than being chastised for trying to call attention to a 3 day old unanswered thread is beyond me, but I am not thrilled by it. It has now been a full 2 weeks since my original post. I have never had this issue before, and if I can't bump or somehow call attention to my thread I am unsure of how to get help. Am I supposed to keep posting new threads on the same issue? I would think those would get closed rather quickly if I had. Should I post nonsense on this thread, I mean anything other than the word bump. A discussion of cat videos maybe? -
Losing connection to network shares
I have a 2TB Western Digital NAS which, until recently, has worked with my Mac (2013 Mac Mini, Mavericks 10.9.3, 16gb RAM) without a problem. I keep all the media for iTunes and a Roku 3 (which talks to Plex Server on my Mac) on there. It mounts from the network as /Volumes/Public.
I am currently finding that whenever I leave my Mac for a few hours - say I go to work for example, or go to bed - that when I come back to it, it has dropped the volume. If I open Finder (which, if the drive has disconnected, seems to take anything up to 30 seconds to actually appear), the drive still appears under the Shared section of the sidebar. If I click on the drive the share appears, if I double click on the share it re-establishes no problem. A few hours later it will be gone again.
I've tried re-setting all network settings and created a "Home" location instead of using Automatic but this doesn't seem to have helped. I don't have any settings to allow the computer to sleep - my monitors go off but the computer stays awake. It also doesn't matter whether I connect to the drive through AFP or SMB - same problem. I'm actually wondering if my Mac is dropping off the network altogether and losing the NAS is just the most visible symptom - but surely it should automatically reconnect if this happens?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.I have a 2TB Western Digital NAS which, until recently, has worked with my Mac (2013 Mac Mini, Mavericks 10.9.3, 16gb RAM) without a problem.

Network Drives Losing Connection from Server 2012 to Windows 7 64bit Machines
I have about 20 users at my facility and recently upgraded our server from one running server 2003 to one running server 2012. Since that occurred, I have had numerous issues that I did not encounter on the old server.
Lately, users have been losing connection to the shared network drives randomly and constantly. The drives will come back on-line on their own but it could be 2 minutes or 30 minutes before they do and when users are in the middle of working on a document
from the network, they are unable to save until the drive comes back. Manually disconnecting and re-mapping them works sometimes but then the problem will re-occur. I have tried re-doing the shares and security settings and run a couple of supposed hotfixes
on the client side and the server side to no avail.
Now our regional office is suggesting that I re-connect the old server and then rebuild the new one with server 2008 r2, something I would like to avoid if possible.
I feel like this is a simple setting that I am missing, no conditions have changed except for the new server.
The server is a Intel Xeon CPU E5-2609 2.40GHz with Server 2012 64 bit on it. All computers (except on on 32 bit) are running Windows 7 Enterprise edition 64 bit.
Please help.I made this change to the registry on the server and am waiting to see if I have any more drops.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Value:
autodisconnect
Data
type : REG_DWORD
Value:
ffff (Hex)
There was a client side change suggested but I am missing that value for the client side change and others in the organization who don't have it are not experiencing this problem. -
LaCie external hard drive keeps losing connection to Windows 8.1 computer
Hello all,
My LaCie external hard drive (Rugged version) seems like it keeps losing connection to my brand new Windows 8.1 laptop. The laptop is an HP Pavillion 15-p 133cl TouchSmart Notebook which I just got today. Basically, every few minutes, or if I nudge the external
a bit, the computer will seem like it disconnected and reconnected to the external hard drive in a split second and bring it up in the Windows Explorer. This external hard drive doesn't show any problems connecting to any other computer, but it has occurred
with 2/3 ports on this computer so far. I'm a bit worried, because I definitely DO NOT want the files on this external to get corrupted in any way. What should I do? Thanks a bunch.may I know your external HDD model, to check which USB version to isolate power and cable connection issue
if this is USB 3.0 try to attached at USB 3.0 at your laptop, your laptop has 2 USB 3.0 and 1 for 2.0, for external HDD with USB 2.0 sometimes need more power / more than 1 connection, sometimes the power will loose
but since the trigger it will disconnect if you nudge the HDD, I suggest back up data to your laptop first, try to change with other data or power cable, try also update your laptop chipset
try to check with other device to isolate port issue
may I know if you are using other PC, did your external HDD also will disconnect if you nudge it?
contact your external HDD manufactured to get some suggestion -
Apple TV losing connection with iTunes on Windows
I am running iTunes on both an HP MediaSmart Windows Home Server (WHS) and a newly installed Windows Vista system. I have multiple Apple TV's around the house - both ATV2's and ATV3's.
I was using the MediaSmart Server as my main iTunes server for Apple TV streaming. That was the system's only function. Unfortunately, I was constantly restarting iTunes and/or the system as my Apple TV's would lose connection to home sharing. I thought WHS was the problem so I set up an unused computer to install Windows Vista (only license I had laying around) and installed iTunes. Everything seemed to work fine for a few days then I started losing connection to that iTunes also. I turned off the WHS system thinking it was causing the other iTunes to choke. That did not help.
For reference, All of my computers are hard wired and I have some ATV's that are hard wired and some that are using wireless. Wired or wireless....the problem still exists. Also, I have competely disabled anti-virus and the firewall on both iTunes servers.
I can watch multiple movies at one sitting. However, if iTunes is idle overnight (or even for a few hours it seems), my Apple TV's can not re-connect to home sharing and I need to restart iTunes.
Last night I disabled the AppleMobileDeviceHelper and the iPodService services hoping that would help. I have not had a chance to fully test this out yet, but did stumble across quite a few posts where MANY others are having tjhis same issue. Many are saying it has to do with the ATV3's sleep mode. If I recall correctly, my major problems did seem to start about the time I got my first ATV3. When I get home tonight I will disable the sleep mode on all of my ATV's.
Here is the question...just in case that works: Is powering off the device by holding down the play button the same as allowing the device to "sleep"? I ask because I use Harmony remotes and I have programmed them to power off the Apple TV when turning off all devices.
As I said, I have multiple ATV's (7 to be exact - 3 ATV3's and 4 ATV2's) and would hate to leave them all on all the time just to fix this problem.
Any feedback would be appreciated. It is difficult to discern a solid solution from the 400,000 other posts on this topic.
Thanks.Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19952545#19952545
Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's? -
Windows 8 keeps losing connectivity
Hi, not sure if this is unique but for the past few weeks Windows 8 has been losing connectivity every few minutes when browsing web pages, playing games etc. I am sure it's windows 8 as I have another work laptop using XP that I can be on all day via a
VPN and that does not drop at all (it would normally drop within a few seconds of losing connectivity). I've done a lot of searching on the net for the same issue, others seem to be having similar things happen such as slow speed but can't find anything that
matches, hence this separate question.
I have also tried swapping routers to no avail. The thing is, you wouldn't know anything had happened from the network connectivity. Suddenly a page won't load. The wireless connectivity at the bottom right of the screen shows a full 5 bars (not limited
connectivity). The way to get it back again is to leave it for a few minutes or disconnect from the router and reconnect again. Even whilst typing this I have had to do that twice.
I'd appreciate some suggestions!
Many Thanks, Paul.

Does this issue occur with both wireless and wired?
I suggest to perform these tests to troubleshoot the issue:
1 Update NIC card for your machine
2 Temporary disable firewall and antivirus program
3 Logon with Safe Mode with Networking
4 Update framework for your router.

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:

Windows 2000 connection problems (solved)
I have a Windows 2000 box that was working fine with DSL and cable but when we moved and got FiOS, it didn't work. It has a RealTek RTL 8139(a) PCI fast controller built in to the motherboard that is connected to the port of the back of the Westell 9100em router. The symptoms were very strange: I could ping the router and load the router web page. However, I could not load any webpages outside of the router. DNS was working (lookups were fine and fast) but it seemed like no packets ever came back to me - it was like the TTL was set too small or something - they just died in the ether. Traceroutes would get about a dozen hops out and then time-out. I figured there was a problem with the ethernet controller, so I switched to a 10/100 Hawking USB-to-ethernet adapter. However, this showed the same problem. Then, I switched to a USB wireless adapter. Again, same problem. At this point, it was a total mystery. There didn't seem to be a problem with a particular adapter and I knew it wasn't a problem with FiOS since I had multiple wired and wireless machines (XP,Mac,Linux) in the house with no problems whatsoever.
I had read on these forums some problems people were having with RealTek 8139 adapters: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Problems-with-the-Fios-20-5-connection-speed-in-my-area-d... so I did a google search on "windows 2000 realtek fios" and found this: http://www.testmy.net/t-19923 This was exactly the same problem I was having, so I did what was suggested: Uninstall TCP/IP and the Microsoft services/clients from the ethernet adapter, reboot, then reinstall the protocols and services... And it worked! I can now load up web pages with no problems.
Even though I was a 25/15 customer, I was pretty happy to get a 7/7 service (according to Verizon's speed tests) after not being able to get any http connection at all previously. For the heck of it, I tried the speed optimizer tool: http://www2.verizon.net/help/fios_settings/optimizer/ After rebooting the machine, I am now getting 25 down and 23 up on Verizon's test and 26 down and 13 up according to the speakeasy test.
I guess the lesson for me is that FiOS is unlike DSL or cable - you might not be able to just plug your computer in and have it work optimally or work at all. But if you tweak it just right, it works pretty wellcrichter, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sorry, I don't know what type of encryption (if any) is supported by Windows 2000.

[SOLVED] Samba is crashing when windows clients connect
Hi all,
Recently started seeing weird behavior. I installed Arch on this box a few weeks ago. It has been working fine, up until two days ago. To my knowledge nothing has changed, so I really have no idea where to start working.
When I try to connect to a share from my laptop, I can browse through a few directories, but I then get the error "The specified network name is no longer available". If I map the drive, I get errors stating that the device is already in use or something like that. Here's some info from the logs on the server:
Any thoughts? Samba is running the latest version. Kernel is 2.6.34
Last edited by Fox2k (2010-08-02 19:32:58)Never mind, problem solved. Apparently tor generated 40 gigs worth of log files and filled up the drive, causing samba to segfault.
Note to others: If you need to troubleshoot tor and you put the daemon in debug logging mode, make sure to change it back.

Hi All,
Not posted here before but hopefully I provide the info needed
I have a BT Home Hub 2.0 (Black with blue lights down right hand side) with firmwhere 4.7.5.1.83.3.31 (Type B) and a Broadband Accelarator/I-Plate at the main phone socket in the wall.
I have worked from home for a number of years and rely on the internet, I have 2 laptops (1 wireless and one ethernet) and 1 gaming machine (also on ethernet). The problem I am having is that my gaming machien on ethernet randomly losing connection with the BT hub while my other 2 laptops on wireless and ethernet remain connected. It's strange as the others are still working. I can either fix the problem by clicking on the connection icon near the clock and letting windows fix it or restart the machine where it also fixes it.
The gaming machine spec is:
Manufacturer: Self built
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)
Memory: 8 GB DDR2
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 12804MB GDDR5
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
Motherboard: NVIDIA NForce 680i SLI
Computer Case: Antec 900 Ultimate Gaming Case
The only thing I have changed on my gaming machine is the graphics card, sometimes the internet would be fine for hours then lose connections, othertimes I lose connection after 20 minutes. I have not managed to tie it down to any software or game that causing the problem. It's really strange. Before this problem, the gaming machine has been fine on ethernet connection for the past year. I have not changed any other hardware of BT Lines etc.
Any pointers would be greatly appreacited
Thanks!

Deskjet 3520 keeps losing connection to Mac
Last night, I installed an HP Deskjet 3520 printer to use with my desktop Mac (which is using OS Yosemite). I have an etsy shop where I sell prints of my illustrations, so I often have to print out multiple files in a row. When I installed the driver last night, I was able to wirelessly print the test page, but after that, I could not print wirelessly. Instead, I used the USB connection, which worked fine. I printed a round of prints and everything worked fine.
This morning, I need to do some more printing, and my Mac reported that there was no connection to the printer (even though the printer was connected via USB). I deleted the printer from my Systems Preferences Printers and re-added it, and I was finally able to do my printing (still not wirelessly).
Now, tonight, I have tried to do more printing and the Mac reports that there is no connection to the printer, USB or wireless. I tried deleting from Systems Preferences and re-adding again, but that didn't work this time. Then, I tried resetting the printing system, uninstalling HP, and re-installing the driver. Now, I'm at the part of the installer where the device needs to be configured and I am receiving the message:
Device Not Reachable. The wireless network settings were successfully downloaded to your device. However, your Mac was unable to locate the device on the network.
I don't know what keeps going wrong! The little screen on my printer says it is connected to my wireless network AND I am still connected via USB so I don't know how the device would not be reachable. I also don't know why the printer would keep losing connection with the computer every time I need to start printing again. Please help!!Hi @tylertot
This is in deed a little strange, but I'd like to help! Some of the steps I am going to offer are steps you have done, but I;d like to perform the following steps in the order presented to see what happens. Please give the following a try;
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable, also unplug the USB cable. Restart teh Mac and then plug the printer power cable back in. You can also go ahead and reconnect the USB cable.
Reset Printing System - (I know you did this already, thus you know how, but here are the steps for others who may view this thread)
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions - I don't see that you have tried this yet, and this step might be crucial to resolving the issue.
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver. You can add the wireless or the USB, or Both. If you ad both, I suggest adding a name to identify one connection from the other.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
You can see in the image above where the name section is, if you add both connection types simply add USB to the beginning of one of the names.
Adding both printers and naming them to help identify them helps when it comes time to print. When you print something you can choose the printer with the appropriate connection type. For example, you can choose the wireless driver ad if you get an offline message try printing again but choose the USB driver. If the USB one works you will know the issue is related to the Wireless connection, and if it doesn;t then the issue is related tot he operating system. Really this is just a proactive troubleshooting attempt in case issue arise in the near future. If you only want to add one connection type that is okay too.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Windows "Easy Connect" does not reply with the password / "Easy Connect is not Available"
Hello,
I have posted a related question some time ago, which was eventually resolved. However, after some time a problem with Easy Connect (used for MSRA) came back:
Whenever I arrive at the point in setting up a MSRA session where Easy Connect is needed, I get the reply: "Easy Connect is not Available". Here is an example of the problem:
Start MSRA
--> as expected, a window with "invite someone to help you" and " Help some who has invited you" appears
Select "invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a window with "Who do you want to get help from" appears
Select "Invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a windows with "How do you want to invite your trusted helper?" appears
Select "Use Easy Connect"
--> as expected, the temporary "Create invitation window / checking network capabilities" window appears
Next, I would expect this windows to close a new window to provide me with the Easy Connect password. However, instead I get the window "Easy Connect is not available".
I cannot continue. (I have screenshots so can repost with them if that would clarity my question)
Any suggestion how to resolve would be appreciated.
(Please do not reply with the 3 suggestions from the FAQ (both computers must run windows 7 / Access to internet is limited / your router does not support Easy Connect - doesn't help)
More background information and things I have tried:
The "Easy Connect is not available" window offers the "Tell me more about how to fix this problem" which I have tried, but those suggestions do not help
If I use the other MSRA option: "Help someone who has invited you" (this would be my typical use case), followed by "help someone new" and than select "Use Easy Connect", I also get the "Easy Connect is not available"
window instead of the expected option to enter the Easy Connect password. I believe this is that same problem.
This happed with both the 32 as well as the 64 MSRA versions
I'm using Window 7 Ultimate, 64 bit with all the latest updates
This desktop PC is wired to the internet via an Edimax gigabit switch, a Dlink DIR-855 wireless router and a fiber modem in bridge mode
The W7 desktop has a single active network connection only
I'm using Windows Firewall and Windows Security Essentials
Disabling the firewall on the PC did not help
Network discovery is enabled in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings (that’s UPnP – right?)
The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool does not seem to be available anymore from MSFT sites
Restarting "Peer Name Resolution Protocol" did not help
Restarting "Peer Networking Identity Manager Properties" did not help
Starting up with a "Clean Boot" (disabled all non-Microsoft services using MSConfig) did not help
I would also be interested to understand how I can check on the status of the "Easy Connect" service. Is this a service hosted somewhere, or??
Thanks!Dear Andy,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Let me answer your questions:
Q: Could you use the other methods: save this invitation as a file and use e-mail to send invitation?
A: yes, that way I can establish a MSRA connection
Q: Have you disable other network connections, including disable all virtual network card?
A: if I check with ‘Device Manager/Network Adapters’ (or Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections) I see two network adapters (my Asus motherboard has two network connectors). Both are available, but only one is used. I have
disabled one. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. I will leave it disable for now.
Q: To find detailed information about this issue, please locate to event view and find the logs about remote assistance.
A: I have to admit that the Event Viewer is unfamiliar territory for me. So, I’m not sure where and what to look for. However, as suggested, I found "Event Viewer (local)/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Remote assistance/Operational".
Each time, I attempt to use MSRA/Easy Connect, it seems two entries are added. As I cannot seem to upload files with this post, here are just the two entries:
“Diagnosis Repro Attempt resulted in a failure.”
“Remote Assistance troubleshooting has confirmed the problem: Remote Assistance Easy Connect isn't available.”
If you need more details, please suggest what to forward or check. I'm eager to find a solution!
