EO1013 no serial or network connection

I have an HP IP KVM EO1013.
The device powers up, and all local facilities work well: I can use the attached servers happily through the keyboard, monitor and mouse attached.
My problem is with the network side of the device.
There appears to be no LAN connection to the switch the device is plugged in.
If I run diagnostics, the "LAN connection" option in the manual doesn't show up
If I choose "Versions", only the "IA" button appears - there is no "Digital" button
The problem is a tad worse as I can't Serial interface into the device. I'm using the settings the manual recommends but nothing appears on the screen. In diagnostics the Comm Interface lights green indicating there's no issues.
Has anyone had any similar difficulties? Can anyone shed any light on the issue?

Hello Stuka G. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Try the following:
1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
- Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
- Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
- Restart, or log out then back in.
3. Add Preferred Network(s)
- System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
- In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
- Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
- Restart or log out then back in.

    If you are trying to connect via wifi to our iPhone then the password should be displayed on your phone when you go into Personal Hotspot, by default it is a random password set by the phone but you can change it there.

  • ITunes 10.0.1 "the network connection could not be made"

    This was not a problem for me on 10.0. I can no longer update my podcasts because I get this error message
    "There was a problem downloading (podcast name) the network connection could not be made"
    so first I ran diagnostics for the network connection and it said that it could not make a secure connection to the itunes store. I clicked help and it said to add a rule to the windows firewall (even though one already existed), I did that and now its green but I still get the same error message. Here is the information from the diagnostics.

    I modified it slightly because my IP address is not necessary for troubleshooting this issue. is anyone else having the same problem? how can i fix this

    Did you get anywhere with this? I'm getting the same error when I try to use Home Sharing. It worked through all the 9.x versions, but with 10.0.1, I can't even home share between two identical MacBooks. I get the above error when I try to copy a song / video / etc. from one library to another.

  • Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later; Have been trying to fix for ages.

    Hi Everyone, been struggling all day to restore my settings on my ipod, as my little brother has put a restriction password in place and made me not able to get into Safari, iTunes, Camera which I really need. I have tried everything, resetting my proxy settings, turning off the firewall, changing my network location, ran diagnostics. Everything seems fine on that, I post below my results. I also tried restoring from the device, but with the restrictions code in place I can not do so. And everytime I am dowloading the software update before the restore it comes up with 'Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later'. I have been using google for ages and am not sure what I have missed.

    Hi Diesel vdub,
    Did that and I tried again, download stops halfway through and comes up with same message I have already quoted. Wifi Signal is 5/5, network is working, just not letting me download via iTunes.

  • Losing network connection and NIC acts weird from warm/hot weather/temperatures?

    Hello.
    Is there a known issue on MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboards' onboard RealTek RTL8168C (P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC network disconnecting and acting weird during warm/hot weather?
    I noticed lately and back on 1/11/2009 night when weather got warm/hot (e.g., my room can get over 85F degrees, but lately it has been 80F degrees), my network would lose its connection. See http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5580/screenshots.gif for a few SpeedFan's sensor readings when the incidents occurred. I have never seen this happen when the weather is cooler (60-70F degrees in my room).
    I also think this only happens if I am using the PC lightly (nothing intensive) like watching fullscreen videos (video overlay), surfing the Web, etc. I don't see any errors or evidences that it happens when idled (e.g., asleep or out). Uptime doesn't seem to matter since I have seen days to 3.5 hours.
    I tried upgrading network driver twice (e.g., Realtek_XP_5714_0219 from
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false ...), disabling Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 (XP's disabled already), releasing and renewing IP address (works, but still no network -- can't even ping my router!), unplugging and replugging the cat5 cable (do see the network port lights on), touching the network jack and hardware inside and outside of the case (not hot), trying another cat5 cable and a network port on a switch instead router's), changing from "Minimal Power Management" to full power (no underclocking/slowing down when idled), etc.
    During the disconnections, I tried:
    C:\>tracert 192.168.0.1

    I also noticed the disconnections usually start with red X icon in my taskbar with its bubble and then later the long disconnection even though no red X (1 GB and connected). If I were to disconnect the cat5 cable from NIC, then it wouldn't even detect it is missing the cable!
    The only way to fix this was to reboot (best way and last longer) OR disable network connection and re-enable it (Windows XP's Network Connections) or the NIC itself (Device Manager), but that doesn't always last long (maybe a minute). Example of my pings right after disabling and re-enabling NIC:
    C:\>ping 192.168.0.1 -t

    Force your NIC to run at 100Mbps full duplex and see how it goes.
    Check your router / switch ports as well as cables.
    I will try 100 Mbps if it happens again. So far, it hasn't occurred after installing the driver supplied by MSI's Web site and not RealTek's Web site. The room temperatures even got warmer like 83F degrees.
    As for router and switch, what am I checking for? Other computers didn't have any problems. As for cat5 cables, I already tried another one like I said in my original post.

  • I am suddenly getting "the network connection could not be made"

    I am getting the error message "the network connection could not be made" and am online without any problems. Itunes etc been fine until a week ago and now can't get it to connect to the net - can someone help me with what to do!

    We'd better check on that, kris. If you enable iTunes in your Windows firewall, does that help with your connection? See the following document for instructions:

  • Network connection error with itunes

    My husband and I have tried for two days now to login to the itunes store to buy more music. It says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection was refused. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again." Is anyone else getting this message? We already updated itunes and we are able to connect to the internet. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have been having the same issues for several days. I feel like I have tried eveything and can't get it resolved. Here are my diagnositcs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

  • The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller

    We are setting up a new AD environment  with one AD/DC running DNS services,  and a secondary DNS server configured with secondary zone. The problem is that none of the machines in the the domain are getting GPO.
    When I run a gpupdate /force from a machine, I get the following output:
    "Updating Policy...
    User Policy update has completed successfully.
    Computer policy could not be updated successfully. The following errors were enc
    ountered:
    The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to
     a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would
     be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group
     Policy has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for sever
    al hours, then contact your administrator.
    To diagnose the failure, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.html f
    rom the command line to access information about Group Policy results."
    While the system event log outputs the following:
    "The processing of Group Policy failed because of lack of network connectivity to a domain controller. This may be a transient condition. A success message would be generated once the machine gets connected to the domain controller and Group Policy
    has succesfully processed. If you do not see a success message for several hours, then contact your administrator." 
    All the machines that were joined to the domain are able to resolve in forward and reverse lookups, ping the DC and ping each other so  I dont understand how the error can be resolved.
    Here are few things I have tried:
    1. I came across this KB which checked ok for me: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241515
    2. Made a copy of the default GPO, applied to a OU with one machine, and made sure to remove any GPO links from above
    3. Enabled the following  two local Group policies on a test member:
    GP slow link detection
    Startup policy processing wait time
    4. Modified firewall to allow everything on both member and DC
    5. Verified DSN logs, SRV records, access to sysvol ( added authenticated users to sysvol)
    I have yet to figure out the reason for this issue. Has anyone seen anything like this before?

    1. I checked the NIC, it only has one IP. and I followed your article. I set the primary DNS to its own IP and the secondary DNS to the loopback ip
    2. This is a new DC and DNS server. I dont have old records yet. I also check the DNS event logs. No errors
    3. I made sure the member server is pointing only to the only DC/DNS server
    4. Here is the output from the dcdiag....  everything passed except, the Netlogons part. I'm not sure what means or how to fix it yet:

  • Kernel Panics during system boot, and no kind of network connectivity

    I've tried quite a lot of things here, so please read them all before you suggest something - and thanks for taking a look at my question (-:
    I recently got my Mac Pro back from the AlaskaMacStore (not an actual apple retail store, and they aren't very good at that), having brought it in for loss of FW800. They sent it to Apple, and I received it back, supposedly with a new motherboard - and my FW800 working. However, it proceeded to kernel panic (complete visual system freeze, not greyscreenofdeath - oddly enough, iTunes would never stop playing during them) at least once a day after that.
    Not wanting to deal with them again, I just used it like that and put up with it - but soon enough, I lost any sort of network connectivity as well. With AirPort connected to my Time Capsule's network (which worked fine on my Macbook Air and iPhone and various other devices), I was being told "...Self-Assigned IP address, and thus may not be able to connect to the internet...". Even connected directly via Ethernet to the Time Capsule, or directly via Ethernet to the cable modem, or directly via Ethernet to another Mac, or connected to another Mac's ad-hoc network, I could get absolutely no network communication going on of any sort.
    This was too much for me, as all of my work requires frequent and heavy internet access, so I gave in and took it back to the local mac store equivalent - they charged me 100$, and kept it two days, just to tell me they 'couldn't reproduce the problem'. I took the Mac Pro to a friend's house, and went through the same tests - connected to his modem, with his Ethernet cords, and to his wireless and other macs. Same deal, no connection or indication of a networking being connected beyond that blasted 'self-assigned IP' in Network prefs.
    Having no desire to be defrauded by the local fools again, I decided I didn't really have anything important on my internal hard drive, and decided to wipe the internals and re-install Leopard. My horrible luck continuing, I found my only Leopard disc to be cracked, prompting me to drive out and purchase a new one. Inserting this into my Mac Pro's drive, I found myself faced with yet another horrible problem.
    During the boot to the Leopard DVD, the grey loading screen (with the apple logo and the spinner) simply froze with the spinner pointing left. I left it for a while, expecting this to be part of what I'd previously experienced with the slow boot-from-DVD on a Macintosh... but after 30 minutes of waiting, I got quite worried, and booted back into my normal OS by holding down Option and selecting my RAID.
    Now, note this for later - it booted absolutely fine, and though I still had no network connectivity, the system had no problems. I changed the startup-disk to my RAID and then back to the Leopard DVD, naïvely thinking this would solve the problem, and ran into the same problem after restarting and booting to the Leopard DVD again.
    Dismissing this as a optical drive problem (haven't had occasion to use optical media in nearly 3 years, don't really trust it in general), I booted the Mac Pro into Firewire Target Disk mode, and connected it to my Macbook Pro, and then booted the Macbook Pro from the installation DVD. Again, note carefully here - there was nothing wrong with the DVD itself, as the Macbook Pro had no trouble booting to the DVD.
    I used Disk Utility to preform some planned modifications to the internal drives of my Mac Pro (erasing my previous inefficient RAID setup in favor of a new, faster (but less secure) RAID0 striped setup for my main two 1TB drives), and then proceeded to install a fresh Leopard onto the newly minted RAID. I usually cancel the 'disc checksum' that the Leopard DVD runs on itself, not really worrying about it, but in light of recent possible problems with the DVD, I went ahead and let it run - no problems, it completed and went straight into the normal install.
    The install itself completed in a timely manner, and my Macbook Pro re-booted automatically, to the newly Leopard-ed RAIDed internals on the Mac Pro. It booted to the new install without a hitch, played the Leopard intro video, and continued to the setup cube. I opted to shut down (by hitting command-q and selecting the shut down option), so I could set it up on the Mac Pro instead.
    Surprised was I, when I experienced the same grey loading screen freeze on the Mac Pro, booting to the newly clean install on the new RAID, that I had seen trying to boot to the Leopard disc. Worrying that my Leopard disc was, infact, corrupted in some way, I tried placing the Macbook Pro into firewire Target Disc Mode, and booting that drive over FW800 on the Mac Pro. Same freezing problem occurred.
    Well, now, the only installation that HADN'T kernel panicked on boot was the old install, and that had been erased for the new RAID configuration, so I was left without a way to boot to a working install and test things from the Term. This left me with Single User Mode, which I immediately booted into.
    Interestingly enough, there was no problem booting into Single User Mode - so I poked around a bit before mounting, and I had seemingly fine access to the entire filesystem of the new Leopard install, and nothing looked screwed up to my (albiet untrained) eye. After mounting and continuing the boot, it froze - but since this was verbose SUM, and not simple normal boot, I was able to see exactly where it froze: something about 'mDNSResponder starting', and then no input or output was accepted, leaving me assuming it had kernel panicked again.
    To test this, I again attempted to boot from the Leopard DVD on the Mac Pro, this time in verbose startup mode, and watched it freeze up at exactly the same point. After a little googling, I found some suggestions to disable the launchd plist for mDNSResponder - I tried SUM again, and did so, then continued with the boot. This time, there was no output relating to mDNSResponder, so the launchd change had worked; however, it still froze - this time, right after three lines, first something along the lines of 'Login Window Application Starting', and then two lines printing Ethernet IDs of some sort. After those Ethernet related lines, it again froze.
    What with the DNS and Ethernet bits showing up in the freezing, I was getting worried this was still tied into my NIC in some way, so I unplugged my Ethernet cords and tried the exact same boot again, and again disabled mDNSResponder. This time the only sensible thing before the freeze was the 'Login Window Application Starting' line, which seemed perfectly normal. I doubt there is/was anything wrong with that, so I'm assuming there's still some networking-related process freezing/panicking the computer, and it just doesn't happen to log in a visible way during startup.
    Does anybody have any suggestion as to what such a process might be, and how I can at least pause or kill it from SUM, so I can at least finish booting the computer?
    If I can't figure out a solution to this, I'll have to buy a new Mac Pro tomorrow morning... I have very, very pressing matters that can't wait for a new Mac Pro to ship, nor can they wait for me to ship this one to Apple and back (I live in Alaska, we have at least a weeks wait if nothing is seriously wrong when sending an Apple product in for repairs on our own), and nor can I wait 2 days for the local Apple store to tell me there's nothing wrong with it and then have to wait another week to, again, send it to Apple myself. I don't want to have to shell out for a new, expensive computer when there's a (most likely) perfectly good one sitting here... so any help would be MUCH appreciated.
    If you've read this far, phew, you deserve a cookie. That was one... long... post.
    (If you care, this post was cross-posted to my blog, at http://blog.elliottcable.name/posts/macpro_epicfail.xhtml)

    Talk about bad luck.
    The point at which the system "freezes" with the gray spinner (and just after the login window app starts) is right about the point the accelerated drivers should kick in for the video card.
    So a couple things could be going on.
    1) bad video card dragging down the bus
    2) The system board is fubar - this I think is likely - issues with onboard ethernet, and whats seems to be video card related.
    I would hazard to guess that the PCI-express bus has something wrong with it, ethernet and video live on the bus, SATA, and USB live in the southbridge.
    So, looks like a trip to a certified apple dealer/repair center is next for your Mac Pro - probably for a new system board, again?
    Something tells me that your system really didn't get to Apple for a new board.
    You can verify by looking at the serial ID tag on the system board, note the rev and serial # before and after such repairs.

    After an upgrade, that profile is commonly du to firewall blocking.
    Do you have any other firewalls even if you are not using them?
    Have you ever had Norton even if you have uninstalled it? Norton is commonly preloaded on new PCs.
    An old Norton can block iTunes if it has been uninstalled.
    Are you using an administrator account? iTunes doesn't seem to think you are. It should not be a problem running from a limited user account. That is what I do except when I am installing programs.
    Normally TLS 1.0 would be enabled, but I don't think this is the cause of the problem. It can be enabled from Internet Options>>Advanced tab.

    Hi,
    What security software is running on the PC? The security software could be causing the issue, try to reconfigure or temporarily disable it.
    You can also try flushing the DNS as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368 provides more troubleshooting tips.

    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:
