Getting my network connection up

ok so i need to install the madwifi driver in order to get my network connection up but the thing is i don't have a network connection to paco -A madwifi-blahblah so how do I go about installing the driver? I do have access to the net from another computer so i guess it would be something like going to the repo to download it but which packages(madwifi and dependencies) do I look for?

Yes you can just search through a repo online and download the *.pkg.tar.gz files you need. You can then do "pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz".
The files you'll need are 'madwifi', 'madwifi-utils' and 'wireless_tools' all of which I believe are in [core].

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Does that user able to login previously?
    From your comment, it seems that there is some permission issue with that user. As you have checked that user with different system also. Please check that user is added under “Remote Desktop User” local group and also allowed “Allow log on through
    Remote Desktop service” permission under group policy. Also please check that when user tries to login it uses “Domainname\Username” format.
    In addition for a try, also check by disabling firewall on one particular system.
    To add users and groups to the Remote Desktop Users group by using Local Users and Groups snap-in:
    1.  Click Start > Administrative Tools, Open Computer Management.
    2.  In the console tree, click the Local Users and Groups node.
    3.  In the details pane, double-click the Groups folder.
    4.  Double-click Remote Desktop Users, and then click
    Add.
    5.  In the Select Users dialog box, click Locations to specify the search location.
    6.  Click Object Types to specify the types of objects you want to search for.
    7.  Type the name you want to add in the Enter the object names to select (examples) box. 
    8.  Click Check Names.
    When the name is located, click OK.

  • I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" error message when trying to update my iPads and iPhone to iOS 5.1

    I keep getting "the network connection could not be established" message when trying to update my iPad, iPad2 and iPhone4 devices using either my iMac or MacBook.  The Macs and iOS devices are apparently working correctly otherwise.  Problem started about a day ago when I connected one of the iPads to my iMac and iTunes notified my of an update for the device.  I tried and got the above message.  Tryied other iPad2 and iPhone4 and get the same message.  Also, get same message when trying to update using the MacBook. My system SW is 10.7.3 on the iMac and 10.6.8 on MacBook.  iTunes is version 10.6. Have gone thru the check list of things to check and have re-started. Would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

    Another user named Springbk posted a fix that worked for me as I was having the same problem today:
    I Changed my DNS settings to OpenDNS
    On a Mac go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES>NETWORK>ADVACED>DNS
    change DNS by adding ( + )
    208.67.222.222
    then
    208.67.220.220
    click okay/apply after. then try the update. after the update, just delete the two open DNS server numbers. should revert back to your old one.

  • How do I get a network connection with an Arch rescue CD? [solved]

    trying to get my system back up as this has also happened to me after a -Syu
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93107
    In my case I get
    mounting ' ' failed
    No such device Failed to mount the real root device.
    Bailing out, piss off.
    or similar, and yes, the device is listed as ' '
    It does not help typing anything into the boot loader (grub2)
    Lots of things not found and then it just stops trying to load and I have no shell
    Now I've got linux-3.1.1 but something is screwed up. I'd like to go back to 3.0
    but have too many dependancies on >3.1
    Anyway, I tried chrooting into my system with the latest Live CD.
    I followed the chroot Wiki but can't get pacman to connect.
    Shouldn't there be more to get my network up?
    Of course any other suggestions to get the system running again are appreciated.

    How did you set up chroot?
    FYI, you don't need to chroot to use pacman with a not root filesystem.
    man pacman wrote:-r, --root <path>
    Specify an alternative installation root (default is /). This should not be used as a way to install software into /usr/local instead of /usr. This option is used if you want to install a package on a temporary mounted partition that is "owned" by another system.  NOTE: if database path or logfile are not specified on either the command line or in pacman.conf(5), their default location will be inside this root path.

  • Updated iTunes to newest version, and once iTunes opened, it crashes immediately.  Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program numerous times.  Also had a hard time getting a network connection over the weekend (I knew my connection was fine)

    Updated iTunes to the newest version but have been unable to use it since.  Once it opens and tries to connect to the iTunes store it crashes and asks me to close the program and report the problem.  In the Windows information center, it tells me to update iTunes to the newest version to fix the problem; when I do and I tell it to repair the problem it goes through the motions, but the program doesn't change, it still doesn't work.  I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the program numerous times from the weekend until now to no avail.  After the update was completed, it had a difficult time making a network connection; I knew that the connection was fine, as I was on the internet and receiving e-mail at the same time.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 &amp; above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • HT4550 I get a "network connection was lost" at the end of a download.  filesize seems to be complete.

    Trying to download a couple of documents from an iTunesU course.  The file seems to download properly, then at the very end says that the "network connection was lost"  and the file in finder has a .download filename suffix, e.g. Lecture 1_1.pdf.download.  There are 2 files in the list that are doing this.  The rest came down properly.
    Is this a problem with safari or the download page I am using? 
    Any ideas about what to do next?

    David...
    Try posting in the iTunes U community as well >  https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes_u
    Also, with iTunes open, click Help from the iTunes menu bar top of your screne.
    Type   iTunes U   in the search field top right corner of that window.

  • Installed 3.6.11 and now Firefox will not get a network connection. What could have changed?

    I used Firefox all the time. I installed Firefox 3.6.11 and it all looked fine. I'm running on XP service pack 3. Now when I bring Firefox up it does not connect to the tabs specified at startup, say that they cannot be found and if you try another one it will say try your modem (works with IE and mail). I can't get a connection to the network.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • I get a network connection timed out when I try to restore my ipod touch and I know connection is fine

    My daughter forgot her password on touch.  We have tried to restore, but after 6 or 7 minutes we get a connection timedout error message and it says to try again later.  I turned off firewalls, but that did not help.  Any suggestions?

    Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and restore usually resolves that problem.

  • Windows 7 Pro not finding network connections after boot camp installation. Is there something special we have to do to get the network (wired and wireless) set up?

    If you haven't yet installed the Windows Support Software, that's probably why, so install it now.

  • Cannot obtain network connection with Clear modem. Is there a special trick to get beyond the blinking amber light?

    My connection follows this chain:
    Clear modem to telephone router
    telephone router to network router (in this case I am attempting to set up the AirPort Express in this place).
    so I have opened up the Airport Utility and didn't have any luck with getting the Network Connection to turn green and subsequently the AirPort Express is not completing the handshake with the network to get fully connected.
    I've gone back to a Netgear router in the meantime and that gets the conection right away. I have only Mac computers connecting to the router and one Epson printer that will connect wirelessly.
    Any advice or experiences with this setup would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I got the support I needed directly from Apple. It turnsout to have had zero to do with Clear. I had named the new AirPort network the same as the previous network and we concluded that it was making the new settings confused. I did a hard reset, renamed the network to a completely unique name and we were off and running. Thanks Apple!
