Error reading from base station?

I installed the airport extreme disk on my Dell pc(hoping to connect with cable modem) & the airport utility claims to have found a base station faa0c9, and IP address 169.254.72.207 (i didn't enter any of this information) but it will not 'continue' claiming error code 6753 an error occured while trying to access the base station make sure your network connection is valid and try again.
i'm pretty sure my network connection is failed since i'm able to access the internet...
help!

I have a similar problem, I have reset everything, haven't tried changing the i.p. on the computer. If I have to do this everytime I listen to music, I think this is going to get returned, because it needs to be set to a particular I.P. to use DSL. Anyway, all I get is amber. I can see the base station in the admin program, but I can't do anything else (error reading from base station). If I turn on Wireless Zero Configuration like it suggests, then I can't see anything at all. If plug in via ethernet cables, I can't see anything at all. I've used a cross-over, a regular cable and used a switch to make sure there isn't cross-over issue but all I get it is flashing amber. Is it possible that the unit is just defective? Should I just return it and burn CD's? Sounds like there are a lot of issues with this, not to mention how I can use this and DSL with the same I.P. Anybody else had problems with ethernet?
Thanks

I found the installActions file in the installer folder and I think this could be the problem
INFO: The 'shiphomeproperties.xml' file is missing from shiphome location '/home/oracle/Desktop/database/install/../stage/products.xml.' Add this file to the 'Disk1/stage' directory of the shiphome.
though I am attaching the log file for more details do you think the installer is corrupt :(

Hello everyone,

When I check the logs I get the following error. Tried investigating in the notes & SDN network for know issues but to no success. Tried starting from scratch by reinstalling OS, DB then SAPinst, but hit the same issue. I tried extracting SAPEXE.SAR using SAPCAR it gives the error. "

It looks like SAPCAR is being use If anyone has faced this issue and can share some light on it I shall be great full.

Hi,
The problem is that you are using the file SAPCAR.EXE for uncompromising the kernel that you have downloaded from market place.
at the time of uncompression a new SAPCAR.EXE file is generated and it want to replace the existing file but that is being used for the uncomression. therefore you get that error.
please change the existing file say SAPCAR1.exe and then try again. it will work fine.

Many thanks

Hi Foreverduy,
Before you run SQL Server 2008 express setup, make sure that you have installed Windows installer 4.5 and.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.100).aspx. Moreover, please turn off all the third-party softwares which could prohibit the installation process.
According to your error message, the issue could be due to that your account has no rights to install SQL Server, or the corruption on the media.
Firstly, please ensure that your account has admin rights. Also make sure that you right-click the setup.exe and choose “Run as administrator” to complete the installation.
Secondly, please check if "msdbdata.mdf" file exists at d:\8268cd7b247d294de359c9\x86\setup\sql_engine_core_inst_msi\PFiles\SqlServr\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Binn\Template. If it exists, please make sure that your account has read permission to the extracted
folder.
However, if the file doesn't exist in the extraction, the media could be corrupt. Please download the
media
again and check if the issue still occurs.
Regards,
Michelle Li

Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache. [was: Lightroom 5 question]

@Lightroom 5 will not open and gives me a message saying it encountered an error reading from its preview cache.

This is the Photoshop forum however.
Close Lightroom and go to your Lightroom catalog folder.
The default location is usually in Pictures.
Delete the file in the catalog folder which ends Previews.lrdata
Do not touch the catalog itself which ends.lrcat
Then try re-launching Lightroom.

Lightroom has crashed with error message 'error reading from its preview cache' - this happens every time i try a launch it. I have looked a forum to repair the fault. there are different recommedations.can you tell me step by step how to recify this pro

lightroom has crashed with error message 'error reading from its preview cache' - this happens every time i try a launch it. I have looked a forum to repair the fault. there are different recommedations.can you tell me step by step how to recify this problem. i can not find ircat ir data etc in the programme files. Thanks

Yes:
Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
That's it!
So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
This document gives location:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
Which OS?
If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

Error on ASA5505: "IKE Receiver: Error reading from socket."

Hi,
I'm expecting a problem with the network of a customer.
He has one ASA5505 connected to 2 RV082 using VPN IPSec (1 top office and 2 remote sites).
Each sites have 2 internet ADSL providers: "Provider A" and "Provider B" for backup purpose.
The remote site 1 has the default connection using "Provider A" network on both sites (top office and remote site) and "Provider B" for backup purpose.
While remote site 2 has the default connection using "Provider B" network on both sites (top office and remote site) and "Provider A" for backup purpose.
(Kind of load balancing when all connections are working good)
When all "3 sites x 2 =" 6 connections are working, I doesn't have any problem and all is working good.
But since 2 weeks, the "Provider A" of the top office is disconnected: both remote site uses "Provider B" and are connected to the top office on
the "Provider B" connection. ("Provider A" is no longer used on every sites.)
This configuration works good until a short disconnection appear on "Provider B" connection on "Site 2".
Then I have many "IKE Receiver: Error reading from socket." on the ASA5505 syslog and the RV082 located on "Site 2" says it's connect but it isn't. (It is not possible to ping "site 2" from top office network.)
If I force this RV082 to reconnect, I can from the top office, ping "Site 2" and open a remote desktop session to the server located on "site 2".
But I cannot ping top office network from "Site 2" and I cannot open a remote desktop session to the server located on "top office"
(it's very strange I can ping from a A network to a B network but not from B to A).
Restart the RV082 of the "Site 2" and/or the ASA5505 does not fix the problem and I continue to get the IKE socket error message.
To fix the problem until next "Site 2" "Provider B" disconnection, I have to disconnect or restart the RV082 located on "Site 1" and then do the same to the RV082 located on "Site 2".
I use updated firmware: RV0XX-v4.1.1.01-sp.bin for both RV082 v3 and asa843-9-k8.bin for the ASA5505.
ASA routing part :
# 192.168.1.0 is the network of the top office

# 192.168.3.0 is the network of site 2

Airport Express Network won't play music from Base Station and remote spkrs

Is there any way i can hook up speakers to the base statino and the remote speakers? I am getting a message that says the base station is not configured to play music as part of the group. it says I can play music from base station, but not simultaneously with the living room speakers which i have set up on a repeater airport express.
Thanks,
PW

Well, I can choose multiple speakers, "living room" and "computer," and they play out of both, but it will not play from multiple speakers if I include the base station, which is hooked up to speakers in my office. The base station will only play if I choose it exclusively, and I wondered if there was something i needed to do to configure the base station to enable it to play as well.

How far away from base station can I get with Wi-Fi?

I want to know how far away from my base station I can get with my iPod touch's Wi-Fi. I can't test it out since it is still shipping, but I would like to know, since I will be travelling a lot with it. I know you can connect it to hotels, restaurants, etc. that have Wi-Fi, but say there's none of them around (since I live in central Nebraska). How far do you really think I can go?

I hope you only 'travel' around your house. That's about as far as you can go before losing your wifi connection. Alright, might work in the backyard. Seriously, check the range of your router. Mine covers 200 feet, more than enough for my apartment. Certainly not enough to travel and remain connected.

MacBook disconnects from base station and connects to extender

My 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display often disconnects from the latest generation AirPort extreme that's in my living room and connects to the extender, a 5th generation wireless-N model, instead. This results in a fifth of the download speed I should have. Is there a way to prevent the system from doing this? I thought about moving the extender a bit farther away, but I don't know if that'd solve things since the Internet at that side of the house would end up slower as a result.
Any ideas?

Can I plug the ethernet in to my Macbook downstairs and use the AE upstairs?
Unfortunately, no.
You are asking about configuring the AirPort Express to "extend" a wireless network from your Mac. It cannot do this.
It can only extend a wireless network when you have another AirPort base station. In other words, it always takes a minimum of 2 AirPort routers to extend a wireless network.
If you add another AirPort Express approximatel half the distance from your "main" Express and configure it to "extend a wireless network", you will have more wireless signal coverage upstairs. Here, I' am assuming that you have the "n" wireless versions of the AirPort Express.

Can I iTunes to Airport Express while surfing internet from Base Station

I am new to Macs and Networking. I have DSL ethernet plugged into Airport Extreme Base Station and Express into my stero. I have set up a network pointing to each but when I choose the Express network for streaming music, I cannot connect to the internet which is on my Base station. Is there a network configuration that will do both. Working w/a new Powerbook G4. Mac OS 10.4. Thanks for any help.

OW, Welcome to the discussion area!
Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode or KB 107454, AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations.

File transfer speed and distance from base station?

I tested the file transfer time (outside with no obstructions) by moving a large video file between my MacBook and a computer wired to an Airport base station. The times were the same as distance increased until the connection dropped. Why?

Do the calculations.
(Although wireless qualifies more for voodoo project than science).
500MB translates to 5.7MB/s which is near enough to 46Mbits/s
500MB in 94sec is 42.6Mbits/s
That is really slow for 5ghz at such close distance to the airport.
What OS are you running? Please open the wireless diagnostics.
About Wireless Diagnostics - Apple Support
Run the wireless utility.
And get the actual link speed and how well it is working.
Then use iperf to get actual network speeds. Rather than moving a file test the link rates.
iperf is included in Mac OS and is available via terminal.
This post gives some clues. http://acidx.net/wordpress/2013/05/testing-a-network-connection-with-iperf/
I think your seeing a hold up due to slow ethernet say.. 100mbit ethernet will ruin any numbers you are trying to get in tests. As well as older slow Mechanical hdd in laptops.
But the link speed in the Utility will tell you the story.. if you link at 450Mbps which should be possible up close.. and it drops to say 200Mbps at a range of 130M you are still far faster than the rate determining step.. very likely to be a slow disk plus slow ethernet.
Go to the performance tab.. and keep it running as you move the computer from next to the Airport to the 130M point. You should see a pretty large drop in connect speed.. but you also need to keep this running as you transfer files.. since it tends to vary greatly during a file transfer.
For science experiments.. this is already a pretty good one.. you are trying to determine the rate determining step in a network system and why wireless is not causing the problem you expected. The use of actual diagnostic tools is great.. almost like science.
The big spike in this graph is me changing from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.
