Failed to connect

Please please help me. I switched to Fios cause I was sick to death of Comcast.
I can't believe it but I have the same issues. Often during the day - and I mean very often - I get a pop up that says the Internet lost connection!!!! This is with my smart phone and all my computers including my iPad!
How can I lose connectivity when it is hard wired as well as using a router?
I want to upgrade to Quantum but know it won't make a difference.
Every time I call, they check and say the connection looks good from their end and when
I troubleshoot from the computer it says everything is fine!
But it's not fine!!!!!!!!!
I am definitely getting intermittent signals. I live near Hunt Valley and have a 4g phone
But definitely not 4g service which I am paying for!
Please! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Some thoughts:
Same problem with two providers would suggest the problem isn't with the provider.
Same problem with multiple devices would suggest the problem isn't with your equipment.
What is left is the wiring within your home.  A loose connection, a bad connector, or damaged cable.  My guess is that when FIOS was installed they connected to a junction box and used the existing house wiring.   The easiest way to verify that would be to run a temporary cable from the junction box to the router.

  • Failed to connect Error - Need Help, Please

    I installed , created the simple "Hello" program and it ran fine on the simulator.
    Then, I click the run OTA and now I'm in deep yogurt!

    I just want to restore things to what they were before I selected Run OTA. I've been reading for the past 3 hours and haven't found out to restore. I even deleted and re-installed but, still get the same meassge (probably some saved java pref file...). Anyway, HOW TO RESTORE to a virgin setup????

  • Remote app on ipod fails to connect to itunes 10

    After upgrading to iTunes 10, my remote app on the ipod touch 4G fails to connect. I've reauthorized, which times out most times, but eventually when it works, it only continues to connect to iTunes until I close and restart the program. I've disabled all firewalls and still have the issue. iTunes 10/iPod Touch 4G/iOS 4.1/ancient remote.app do not play well together.
    Anyone else unable to get the remote app working reliably with this combination?

    Hello all,
    I would like to get more details from people who are still having trouble getting Remote 2.0.1 to connect. If you are unable to connect, please email me <[email protected]> with the following information:
    - A detailed description of the specific issue you are seeing.
    - What OS is on the host computer? (the one with iTunes on it)
    - What OS is on the affected iOS device(s)?
    - A description of your network topology. Please be as detailed as you can, including hardware and firmware versions, if possible. Also please explain how everything is connected.
    - Is the base station running default settings, or do you have any non-standard settings enabled? If so, please elaborate.
    - Do you have the built-in firewall enabled on the host computer?
    - Do you have any other firewall or Internet protection (anti-virus, etc) installed on the host computer?
    - Were you able to connect with versions of Remote prior to 2.0?
    - If you have multiple computers, can you get Remote to connect to any of them?
    - Does Home Sharing work between computers on your network?
    - Do you see any messages in Console (in Applications/Utilities) on the host computer that seem to coincide with the connection failures?
    Thanks,

  • My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

    My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
    At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
    (note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
    Anyone had this problem?
    Even better has anyone got a solution?
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

  • On Windows 2012 Terminal Server Outlook fails to connect to Exchange 2013

    I have a new install of Windows 2012.  I have two physical servers.  One is a W2012 std Domain Controller ("DC").  The Second is configured as W2012 HyperV  ("HV").  Under HV I have
    two VMs.  One VM is W2012/Exchange 2013 ("ExchVM) and the other is W2012/Terminal Server ("VMTS").  All systems are behind a firewall appliance.  Exchange is working via Outlook and OWA internally and externally.  The self
    created SSL must be installed manually on external machines since it comes up as an untrusted certificate.  Once installed remote outlook works and OWA works.  I have configured the terminal server and I am able
    to login remotely as various users under my "TS group".  The problem is when ever I attempt to open Outlook for the 1st time, it fails to connect to the exchange server.   (Open Outlook 2013, click next
    on the splash screen, "Yes" Add an Email Account splash screen, click next, Auto Account screen populates NAME and Email Address correctly, click next, Searching for mail server settings..., check on establishing network connection, check on searching
    for alias@ domain, then fails the logging on to the mail server)  The error reads:  "Outlook cannot log on.  Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name.  The
    connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."   I am connected in RDS from offsite, and from the RD session I can access shared folders on ExchVM and DC.  I have
    tried have verified the server Exchange server name is correct via "Get=ClientAccessServer" command.  I have also tried to use the guid via "Get-Mailbox
    ALIAS | fl name, exchangeguid.  Keep in mind all desktop users on the network are connecting to Outlook without issue.
    I would appreciate any thoughts on solving this issue.

    Hi,
    According to your workaround, it seems that the Outlook Anywhere configuration in Outlook client is not correct when using the Autodiscover service.
    Once you connected to Exchange server by manually settings, please run Test E-mail AutoConfiguration tool in external Outlook client to check the autodiscover service:
    open Outlook - press CTRL key - right click on the Outlook icon from right bottom corner taskbar - Test Email AutoConfiguration. Put your email address - uncheck use guessmart and secure guessmart authentication - click Test to check your Autodiscover service.
    Please check the Log tab and confirm whether the Autodiscover service is connected successfully. Also confirm if the connection issue happens to all external users when they open Outlook for the 1st time. In Exchange server, please make sure
    autodiscover.domain.com has been included in your Exchange certificate which is assigned with IIS service.

  • Fingerprint reader not working in IE and saying failed to connect to sensor

    Hi all,
    I bought a Qosmio x500 10t a couple of months back. For the first couple of weeks i had no probs using the fingerprint reader to log in to windows and to log in to websites in Internet exploer.
    All of a sudden it would not work on any website stored. The green banner showed accross the top of site and asked to swipe finger but nothing happened when I swiped. I rebooted and it worked again but not for long before failing. This time a reboot didnt work so i deleted my finger prints and websites and started from scratch. That worked for a couple of attempts before probs started again. And on trying to get into Fingerprint utility it says failure to connect to sensor. So, I did a system restore. It worked for a couple of times again and then same probs. So I found the updated utility software, uninstalled the old and put on the new. Same again, worked for a couple of times then failed.
    I could not find anything stuck in the registry but to be on the safe side i did a full system clean back to factory setup using backup discs. Hey presto i thought it had worked. Everything going ok for first 24hrs and then same problems start to occur. Only this time it is also prompting me to enroll fingerprints even though i already have. And when i try to get into the utilioty it says failed to read sensor again.
    The fingerprint log on to windows always works as long as i dont close the fingerprint utility down before shutting down. If i do exit the utilty i cant reopen it as it just says failed to connect to sensor. And then i have to unistall and reinstall the utility software. Aty the moment it occasionally works on websites stored but most of the time it doesnt do anything.
    Please help. Do I need to send laptop back to Toshiba??

    Hi,
    *I got a solution* for the problem that the fingerprint sensor "suddenly" does not work any more.
    When starting the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility, it says "failed to connect to fingerprint sensor".
    Is it possible that just before it stopped working there was a new firewall installed, or firewall settings had been changed?
    *In my case, the problem was solved by changing my firewall settings* (Windows 7 Firewall Control) to ALLOW all traffic for
    the Authentec Fingerprint Sensor Service (AFSS). It is the file "AtService.exe" in C:\Program files
    The reason is simple:
    The Toshiba Fingerprint utility communicates with the fingerprint sensor service via TCP/IP.
    Therefore, any firewall that blocks traffic on the local computer will block the communication.
    *After changing my firewall settings, fingerprint sensor works* on my R700 flawlessly now.

  • Error sending emails to Internet: Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10051

    Our exchange 2013 CU2 (CAS+MBX, Win2012) was sending emails to Internet using another server (a kerio email server) and outbound internet email was working as expected.
    We have now removed the Kerio server, I also removed the kerio_Send_Connector I was using to send emails to internet and I also changed the email domain in Exchange to be authoritative. I created a new Internet send connector with default values, but the same
    bad behavior is present.
    Our Exchange 2013 receives emails internally and externally with no problems. The problems are sending emails to Internet. I am suspecting something in the firewall but i need to do some more research.
    If from the same Exchange server I telnet to an Internet email host:25 I do get the smtp banner but as soon as I start typing HELO/EHLO I get disconnected and errors are logged.
    Errors when sending emails to any emails address (this is from an email sent to google, all others are the same):
    Remote Server at aspmx3.googlemail.com (74.125.136.26) returned '400 4.4.7 Message delayed'
    7/1/14 9:52:44 a. m. - Remote Server at aspmx3.googlemail.com (74.125.136.26) returned '441 4.4.1 Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP address: "Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10051, Win32 error code: 10051." Attempted
    failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts. The last endpoint attempted was 74.125.136.26:25'
    I cannot find any references from such Winsock error that are related to Exchange 2013.
    So far all email is being queued at the Exchange Server 2013. I am afraid to install CU3 and make things worse.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Just check if the receive connector settings are set to fine
    check the send connector properties and see whether it is  set to use DNS to route emails through external DNS/Internal DNS or smart host .
    Do a telnet to external domain like hotmail,yahoo and see  at what transaction you are getting an error
    Enable verbose logging, restart the transport service and check if you get the same error in the verbose logs as well
    Get in touch with the ISP and see if the port 25 for Outbound SMTP is  opened.
    YOu can check if SMTP Proxy is enabled in the firewall. If so disable the SMTP proxy in the firewall and check.
    Good Luck!!

  • Device Manager HP Printer ! Symbol, Windows "failed to connect" Sound- Yet Printer Works

    Every startup, I hear the Windows "device failed to connect" sound.  How can I get rid of this?
    I have an HP J6480 Printer with WIn 7.  Device Manager is not recognizing the printer driver. 
    Under Device Manager, the printer is listed with the ! error symbol.  No other devices have an error symbol.  Yet the HP Solution Center and printer work.
    1)  I have tried fresh installs of the current HP Full Feature Software. 
    2) I have tried the HP Uninstall program, going through all five Uninstall programs two times.
    3) I have run CCleaner to clear registry issues.
    4) I have tried deleting the Device Manager "Officejet ! J6400 series" entry.  The Solution Center and the printer then do not work.  Apparently, Device Manager recognizes the printer but not the driver.  I have to go to "Programs", "HP", then "Officejet J6400 Series" to reinstall the software. 
    5) I have tried to get Device Manager to recognize the software.  When I click on "! Officejet 6400 series",  I get the message "the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)".  If I then click on "Update Driver" and select" Browse my computer for driver software" then click on "Browse "C:\Users\Myname\Downloads", where I have both the HP 13.0 Full Feature Sofware Software and the Basic Print and Scan Driver files, it says "Windows cannot find driver software".   If i click on "Search automatically for driver software" I get the same message.
    I would very much appreciate any ideas!  Thank you!

  • Lumia 620 fails to connect to car bluetooth - coll...

    My lumia 620 did initially connect to my ford focus car audi/phone successfully.  However after about a week it failed to connect and I haven't been able to connect since. Defeats the object of hands-free!
    Steps taken (which work with previous phones of various makes/models):
    Turn bluetooth on in car
    Turn on phone bluetooth connectivity
    Car display finds my phone successfully and provides a PIN to enter in the phone
    Phone bluetooth status says 'unable to connect to ford audio system' and times-out.
    I've noticed that the 'tap to pair' message doesn't appear as it previously did and I can't find anywhere else to look for bluetooth settings.
    A colleague who has an identical phone can successfully connect - it does show the 'tap to pair' message.
    I have updated the ford audio system software and checked the other phone connects ok. I have also tried removing the phone battery several times but still no joy.
    Help please - thanks

  • My HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m failed to connect wirelessly to my router

    When setting up my printer to connect to my wireless router, the printer can see the network Name (SSID) but failed to connect to it using WEP password.  The Wireless Network Report shows the printer Authentication Type is "Open System" while my router is configured as "Shared".  How do I change the Authentication Type on my printer to match the Router? Thank you.

    WEP is not at all secure.  It can be broken in about 10 minutes with freeware.  It is also known to cause printer connection issues.

  • OVI fails to connect to Nokia N8-00 on "Checking t...

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems connecting OVI to a Nokia N8-00 handset via Bluetooth.
    The Add New Device wizard is able to detect the phone but when selecting it from the list and proceeding it stays on "Checking the Bluetooth capabilities of your device." for some 20 seconds after which it eventually fails with the error of "Failed to connect to your device. Problems occured while authorising the Bluetooth connection between your device and computer."
    I've verified that both devices are configured as authorised by their respective counterpart.
    Also tried to remove the pairing from both the laptop and phone and re-pair them again - same problem.
    I am able to sync the phone with OVI via USB no problem.
    I am also able to use my OVI with another Nokia phone (E72) via Bluetooth without any issues.
    This points me to a possible problem with Bluetooth on the N8 phone itself but I don't have any way to prove it.
    I wonder if anybody else has experienced the same issue?
    OVI version 3.0.0.290
    N8-00 version 013.016
    Thanks, Jan

    OVI is A BUG! I'm using PC suite with an old version 7.1.40.6 (still compatible with the N8) which wor'ks great with my N8 for more than a year. Time to time I update OVI to check if the known bugs are fixed but since new are coming it is a no end situation. I have had a N95 and a N97 before which never either worked properly with OVI and Outlook 97, 2003 & 2010.
    How CAN THAT BE Mr NOKIA?
    Because of this, I'm closed to give up with this good phone supplier offering a VERY WEAK software support to its clients!
    Good luck to all of you still patient ...

    All bluetooths stack versions, OVI versions, PC Suite versions are same as those of another laptop which connects well over bluetooth.
    By the way still, my Win7 Home Premium's OVI's system info tells that it is using Microsoft Bluetooth Stack Version 6.1.7600 build 16385 (Active & In Use).
    PLS DO HELP. OTHERWISE I'VE NO OPTION BUT TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER SYMBIAN 3 DEVICE. I DON'T WANT TO PART WITH MY N8 OR MY ACER ICONIA TABLET.
    Note: This problem seems only with N8 because I've tried other nokia models. They all connect well. But I've also tried another N8, that also DIDN'T CONNECT. What the heck problem is with N8.

  • Wicd fails to connect with a WEP key

    I'm trying to connect to my wireless network after the recent update to net-tools. I sorted through most of my issues with the hostname command (I think) by installing inetutils and the recent update to wicd. Now, after trying to reconnect, my /var/log/wicd/wicd.log looks like the following:
    2011/10/04 09:23:48 :: trying to automatically connect to...UVEE2

    dhcpcd[13078]: dhcpcd not running
    This looks strange to me because I am connecting to a wireless network that has a WEP hex key, and nothing in my configuration suggests any WPA key. I even tried rm-ing all of the *.conf files in /etc/wicd/ to no avail. Thank heavens for netcfg, or I think Arch Linux would have just blown my network stack again, the way the net-tools "upgrade" did
    Does anyone have any tips on how to solve this?
    P.S. Maybe it would be good to have some testing process for future updates affecting network connectivity? If this were my only computer I would totally have been dead in the water with the net-tools update. It took a sizable amount of time and effort to find out I needed to bootstrap the hostname command. For a while, before I figured to check the wicd logs, I was considering just dropping Arch Linux. Breaking the internet is just about the worst because you leave people with broken systems and no way to look up how to fix them.

    Sorry, but I don't think that thread applies here. That thread is dealing with the net-tools upgrade, and the missing hostname utility. I fixed that, dhcpcd works just fine.
