Has my Network controller failed?

Recently installed a New HD on a DV1000 notebook and have all the drivers on disc. All seemed fine till i got a Blue screen when turning on the wireless ant, switch. or updating the driver in the device mgr. for network controller. ??? Any ideas if replacing the NIC card will help? My nic cable conection had not worked in a longtime.
I seem to think that NIC not working has surfaced to become more serious. otherwise the wireless card always worked prior to reformatting. and updating the system and drivers. Is it worth continuing to try and fix this or is the motherboard part too costly?
Any advise
Much Thanks
Peter La

Hi David,
Thanks for the insightful help into this problem.
If anyone out there ever experiences this problem and are looking for an answer then the way to cure the problem is to erase the disk entirely and reinstall your original OS disk and then update the system. There must be some issue within the system which no body it seems has any idea how to correct in any other way.
All the best.

T41 has Network Controller problem

I was given a T41 2373-7JU that I loaded with XP Pro. My problem is it will not connect to the internet via it's browser. In Device Manager it shows a Network Controller problem and I've been unable to correct this no matter how many different drivers I've tried. Also, how do I tell if there's an internal wireless card inside? It did connect to the internet earlier today using my USB adaptor but now I can't even do that anymore. I've tried a dozen or so solutions without any success so where should I go from here?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Following are the drivers you need for Ethernet and wifi card (and yes, as per support page there's an internal card installed in your system):-

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-42683
To install the drivers successfully, you need to run the .exe setups from C:\Drivers.... for each device after the first setup completes.
For ethernet, the setup is in C:\DRIVERS\Win\ETHERNET\PRO1000\Win32 and for wifi C:\DRIVERS\WLLANCSC.
Hope this helps.

Nvidia Networking Controller Drivers in Vista BootCamp ????

I have installed Vista 32bit in BootCamp 3 on my new 13" Macbook Pro, all seemed fine but for some reason, Vista does not recognise the Nvidia Networking Controller driver installed from the bootcamp drivers, it says it failed to load the driver when checked in Device Manager.
Also, I have problems which I think relate to the Broadcom Wireless driver too. Signal strength when running in Snow Leopard is full bars, no problems. But when booted into Windows the wireless signal strength is one bar and oh so poor.
I have to move within a couple of meters of the router to get a good signal.
What is wrong with these drivers ???? i thought Apple supported Vista ????
I have read elsewhere of people suffering at the hands of the poor Broadcom driver, is there any update from Apple for this, or does anyone know of a new version of the drivers from Broadcom at all that give better performance ???
Same with the Nvidia driver, anyone know what to do about that, Apparetnly you can't just go to Nvidia and download the Nforce from there as the Apple OEM drivers are different and I dont even know which Nforce version the laptop uses anyway.
Please Help - Going Insane - Grey - And VERY bald!!!

Anyone have any ideas about this at all ????
I have updated bootcamp to 3.1 now but nothings changed. I did switch on Afterburner, disabled low power consumption and also changed the driver to use b/g/n auto which has helped slightly but not dramatically. As I have said OSX runs full signal so I know theres no router signal issue.

Network Manager fails to detect unsecured network.

My current laptop uses a clean install of Arch Linux with the latest gnome-shell release. NetworkManager has no problem connecting to the wireless networks at home, but the problem I have is at college.
My college has an open wireless network; sometimes it fails to show in network-manager-applet. That's the first problem. The second problem, If it does show, it'll fail to connect. In order for me to connect, I had to install the iw package and type sudo iw eth1 connect <network-name> after it fails. Only then will it connect.
How do I fix this so that NetworkManager will stop acting up?
Here's the wireless adapter installed and the driver it's using. (I use AUR's broadcom-wl package because it can detect more networks and doesn't act up for me.)
[dbdii407@laptop ~]$ lspci | grep Broadcom

Maybe it is a "mixed interface issue", if that's the case, then you should read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … ork_device

Failover Cluster Network Name Failed and Can't be Repaired

I have an issue that seem to be a different problem than any others have encountered.
I've scoured everything I can find and nothing has fixed my problem.
The problem starts with the common problem of the cluster network name failing on my 2 node server 2012 file server cluster. The computer object was still in AD and appeared to be fine so it was not the common problem of the object
getting deleted somehow. At the time, there was no other object with that name in the recycling bin, so I don't think it was mistakenly deleted and quickly recreated to cover any tracks, so to speak.
Following one guide, I tried to find the registry key that corresponded with the GUID of the object, but neither node in the cluster had it in its registry (which may be part of the problem).
Since it was in the failed state, I tried to do the repair on the object to no avail.
We run a "locked down" DC environment so all computer objects have to be pre-provisioned. They were all pre-provisioned successfully and successfully assigned during cluster creation. The cluster was running with no issues for a month
or so before this problem came up.
When I do a repair on the object while taking diagnostic logs the following 4609 error appears:
The action 'Repair' did not complete. - System.ApplicationException: An error occurred resetting the password for 'Cluster Name'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Unknown error (0x80005000)
There appears to be a corresponding 4771 error with a failure code 0x18 that comes from the security log of the DC that states there was a Kerberos pre-authentication failure for the cluster network name object (Domain\Clustername$)
I believe this is what is causing the repair failure. All the information I found related to security error 4771 was either a bad credentials given for a user account or the fix was to reconnect the computer to the domain. I can't seem to find
a way to do this with the cluster network name. If there's a way please let me know.
I've tried a number of things, like resetting the object, disabling it, deleting and creating a new object with the same name, deleting that new object and recovering the original, etc...
Can anyone shed some light on what is going on and hopefully how to fix it other than rebuilding the cluster? I'm quite close to just tearing it down and building it back up but am hesitant because this cluster in currently in production...
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
I don’t find out the similar issue with yours, base on my experience, the 4096 error
often caused by the CSV disk issue, and the 0x80005000 error some time caused by the repetitive computer object in OU. Please check the above related part or run the validate test then post the error information.
Although I do have a CSV, there doesn't seem to be any problems with it and it was running just fine for a month or so before the problem started. I double checked and there is no duplicate computer objects, maybe I don't understand what you mean by
repetitive, could you explain further?
The cluster validates successfully with a few warnings:
Validating cluster resource Name: DT-FileCluster.
This resource is marked with a state of 'Failed' instead of
'Online'. This failed state indicates that the resource had a problem either
coming online or had a failure while it was online. The event logs and cluster
logs may have information that is helpful in identifying the cause of the
failure.
- This is because the cluster name is in the failed state
Validating the service principal names for Name:
DT-FileCluster.
The network name Name: DT-FileCluster does not have a valid
value for the read-only property 'ObjectGUID'. To validate the service principal
name the read-only private property 'ObjectGuid' must have a valid value. To
correct this issue make sure that the network name has been brought online at
least once. If this does not correct this issue you will need to delete the
network name and re-create it.
- This is definitely related to the problem and the GUID probably got removed when we attempted a fix by resetting the object and trying the repair from the failover cluster manager.
The user running validate, does not have permissions to create
computer objects in the 'ad.unlv.edu' domain.
- This is correct, we run a restricted domain. I have a delegated OU that I can pre-provision accounts in. The account was pro-provisioned successfully and was at one point setup and working just fine.
There are no other errors nor warnings.

Thinkpad T43p (2668-G4G) Network Controller and Biometric Coprocessor issues on Win XP Pro install

Hi all,
I am new the the forum but I guess its time time to recognise my defeat and send out a distress signal: Mayday Mayday Mayday...
INTRO
My original HDD (Hitachi 7,200 rpm IDE) crashed a few days ago so I repaced it with a WD 160GB drive (5,400 rpm). I always get a firmware message on start up and I could only partition 130GB (not the full 160GB). This I have read from various forums is a common problem with the Thinkpads and that it wont really affect the performance of my T43p... any comments?
THE REAL PROBLEM
I then restored the laptop with Win XP Pro and SP2+SP3 and all relevant updates (I have done this on numerous times and once before with this T43p without problems) and then setup all the Lenovo Drivers I could find pertaining to this model [2668-G4G]. I've got everything up and running EXCEPT the Wifi. I've tried everything but just cant get it to work. I used System Update, I tried downloading and installing in different order, I've removed the Access Connections etc. etc. None of the Drivers on the Lenovo website seem to work for me. I even tried using older versions of the Drivers, which I compiled on a CD last time I restored my T43p but even that doesn't work. When I check the Device Manager there are always two yellow alert signes referring to Biometric Coprocessor and Network Controller.
Has anybody had these problems before and managed to resolve them?
The HDD issue is not as crucial I guess but if anybody has a solution to that I'd be greatful.

Network controller, pci device, wifi drivers not working

my device model is dv6-6121tx
i am not able to install network controller and PCI device drivers...

please help...
This question was solved.

Hello again samyak. You are very welcome!
The first device (the virtual adapter) is virtual network which allows you to use the computer as a "software router." Unless you're using this PC as an Access Point this device is useless to you. This article has more information on the service. Your best bet is to just disable it. Try the following.
Click Start, go to "All Programs," and select "Accessories."
Right click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator."
Type the command "netsh wlan set hostednetwork [mode=disallow] and press Enter. This should disable the virtual adapter.
Exit Command Prompt, reboot the computer, and verify that the device is no longer listed.
The device with the "ACPI/HPQ0004" ID actually returned two results. The first was the Quick Launch Button software. The other was related to Hard Drive Protection. Try this driver.
Make sure to reboot after all of these instructions have been completed. Then go back to Device Manager and verify whether everything looks as it should.
Continue to have a great day!

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problem

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris.... i was reading other messages in the forum and apparently solaris doesn't detect my network adapter because when i run ifconfig -a it only shows lo0....
I went to nvidia.com but the drivers on their website are only for the graphics card... where can i get the requiered drivers (and how do i install them under solaris) for my internet connection to work???
i have a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller and connect to the internet using road runner trough a router...
thanks...

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris...<snip>
Javisam376
Hi,
Same problem here Javisam376, but I am on an AMD x64 platform, and wondered if that might be the reason why the Solaris Express Developer Edition was unable to see the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, so I wonder which platform you're on (32 or 64-bits?) A general Google search for "Solaris NVIDIA nForce Networking problem" gave a fair number of hits, so the problem, seems well known, but no solutions were suggested by anybody, as far as I could see(!?)
But it seems the Linux community has the same problem, since I found this posting on LinuxQuestions.org (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=471094):
"I just finished installing Red Hat 9 on my machine, which is running off of an AMD/NVIDIA nForce2 chipset mobo that has integrated ethernet. I was trying to set up my network connection, but was unable to locate the nvida ethernet controller in the Network app/Network Configuration Wizard. So I went on to nvidia's site and downloaded the x86 linux driver (using my other machine) and used a cd to pop it into the other comp... Saved it to the desktop,
then terminaled: sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run.
It took me through a setup screen where I 'installed a audio and ethernet driver'. I checked the Network wiz again, still no entry for it. So I randomly clicked the hardware browser, and IT lists the 'nForce2 Ethernet Controller' under network devices, but I can't configure it from this screen. Anyway, I would seriously appreciate any help with this. I need to get internet access on this machine quick, so this is drivin' me crazy."

Remote Speaker (AirTunes) Error - "the network connection failed"

I am getting a strange error message when I try to stream music through an AirTunes remote speaker. iTunes tells me this:
*An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker "NN". The network connection failed.*
I can't say what has changed for this error to occur. Last time I used the system it worked fine, now it doesn't. I do know I have upgraded iTunes a couple of times since, though.
I am connecting to an 802.11g AirPort Express running firmware version 6.3.
Both our computers (MacBook & MacBook Pro) run Mac OS version 10.5.8.
In my system, the AirPort Express functions solely as a wireless speaker client, as the WLAN network itself is based around an 802.11n AirPort Extreme.
The AP shows a green light, and reports no problems in AP Utility.
When I change the device's "iTunes Speaker Password" setting in AP Utility, iTunes in both our computers immediately reflect the change, so apparently the various parts in the system do speak to one another just fine. They just can't transmit music, for some reason...
Anyone have any idea what might be going on, here?

I have a similar problem. I use AE(g) with a Powerbook G4 and always get this error, which kind of bugs me, since all the settings appear to be correct. Unlike you though, I didn't make it work, not a single time — closing lid, opening and closing iTunes, resetting AE, yet no luck. Tried it all only with current versions of software.
However, the AE does sense when I unplug the speakers, since it first says "no speakers found", and then "the network connection failed". Strange is that the error has no number, nor does Console provide any clues. Sometimes it is pretty annoying when OS X just says "error". What error, where, why... Feels like good ol' windows times.

Satellite C660d-14G: network controller is not installed

Hi.
I installed windows 7 on my toshiba,
I have problem with the wireless driver.
I downloaded all availible drivers on the site, but there is no change.
In the device manager write that the network controller is not installed.

Hi
> network controller is not installed.
Network controller could be Lan card or Wlan card.
Are you sure that you need to install the Wlan driver?
As far as I know the notebook has been equipped with the Atheros AR9285 802.11bgn Wlan card.
The LAN card is 10/100 Base-TX Realtek 8105E-GR
By the way: The latest Wlan drivers can be downloaded here:

Network controller & PCI driver

Hi!
I just reinstalled my windows 8. But after it's finished, then my wifi is not listed. And i've checked on my device manager, my network controller and pci are not installed. Is it the main cause of my wifi being not listed?
If it's right, then what should i do?
I wish for your reply asap. Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi:
You need this driver for the PCI device...Download and install the first driver on the list.
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
I don't know what model wireless card your notebook has, so please do the following and I will figure that out and post the link to the wireless card driver you need.
Go to the device manager and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
Now you should see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the 3rd item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

Cluster Network Randomly Failing on Hyper-V Cluster

Please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum. I am having a really strange issue that is seemingly random. I have a 3 host cluster that are all identical hardware and running Hyper-V Server 2012 R2. The networking is as follows and each network
is a different VLAN/Subnet:
3 Cluster networks for virtual machines
1 Cluster network for cluster traffic/management
1 Heartbeat network
2 iSCSI networks for storage
All of the networks are perfectly fine except for one which seems to fail on a random node at a random time during the day (so far, a maximum of once per day).
If I start to live migrate virtual machines that are on the failed network, the cluster network comes back up. The cluster networks are teamed using SCVMM and they are switch independent and running the Dynamic teaming algorithm. We have tried changing the
network switches to see if it was faulty network hardware and things ran fine for one day and then just happened again today so we've ruled that out. The only error message I get is 1127 which is the error stating that the cluster network has gone into a failed
state which doesn't help much. I've run the cluster validation tool for networking several times and it always passes 100%. What I am worried about is hardware incompatibilities as I am using Dell servers (PowerEdge R720) that have Broadcom NIC's in them.
We have 12 Ethernet ports in each server and they are all identical hardware. Four of them are integrated Broadcom, another four that are from a Broadcom quad add-on NIC, and another 4 that are from an Intel quad add-on NIC. All are server grade NIC's. The
only problem I've had in the past is with VMQ which we've had to disable as a workaround but that has always stabilized our virtual networks. In any case all of the cluster networks for virtual machines are set up identically and only this particular one randomly
fails on any one of the three hosts (it has happened at least once on each node now).
I am wondering if anyone has had this experience before. I have read that there are some nasty compatibility issues between Broadcom and Hyper-V but I am wondering if someone could give me some ideas to find out how to narrow this down since the event
logs don't seem to be speaking in obvious terms to me.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to narrow down what's causing this or if there is more information that I could provide. In the meantime, I'm going to try and take note of which virtual machines are running on the host that has the
network fail just in case there's some correlation there but that could take a while to accrue any useful data and our users aren't too happy with the instability...
Thank you in advance for your time and sorry for the lengthy post!

Since I made the change last Friday evening, 4/10, I haven't experienced the issue. I won't be completely convinced that this resolved it until I monitor for at least one more week since it didn't actually present itself for the first time until I was already
one week into live deployment. Also, this link below is much more eloquent than how I put it and describes my issue exactly. Coupled with the KB article that someone posted within this comments section (the same that I posted earlier here) of the article,
this is what led me to check the VMQ status through PowerShell which is much better than going through the registry to do it (I'm running Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 which is like core so I don't have the GUI options shown in the article).
http://alexappleton.net/post/77116755157/hyper-v-virtual-machines-losing-network
I could try updating the driver but there is mention in the comments of this post that driver updates have yet to resolve this issue so we may still be waiting on Broadcom for a fix. Please confirm otherwise if anyone has any information.

I get a "Network Authentication Failed" when trying to send a picture message...any suggestions?

My daughter has a Samsung Intensity II and whenever she (or I) try to send a picture message from it, we get "Network Authentication Failed". I have tried calling *228, option 2, but that did not resolve the problem. Any other suggestions out there?

Try *228, option 1 instead to reprogram the phone. Option 2 just updates the roaming list.
Are you in an extended coverage area? You should be within a native Verizon Wireless coverage area when reprogramming the phone.

Airplay Connection issues - An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "x". The network connection failed.

I recently upgraded to a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, and got my Airport Express (802.11g) out of the closet and set up an AirPlay network for my speakers.
All worked well for the first while, but recently I've been having an inconsistent problem with this: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “my network name”. The network connection failed."
Since it came up, more often than not, I can't connect.
I can play without issue from my iPhone, and from my iPad.
I looked around these forums, and found a couple threads dealing with this from 2011, with no clear resolution to them. No one with Mountain Lion seems to complain about it, though a few people mused about whether Mountain Lion might fix the problem.
I'm running iTunes 10.7(21), and don't recall doing any upgrades to it that might have brought this about, though I can't say for sure.
My Airport Express is updated to firmware version 6.3, which I believe is the last one issued for the 'g' Airport Express.
My wireless network runs off an Airport Extreme 802.11n (Second Generation) with verion 7.6.1 firmware.
My Mac has 10.8.2 on it right now.
Hopefully some of that info might help sort this out - any replies greatly appreciated!

One quick update. A workaround that was mentioned in one post did seem to work - if music is started via the Remote app it seems to connect fine.
And I'm not sure if I dare upgrade to iTunes 11 given the firestorm of bad impressions I see, including some that relate to Airplay functions...

Has my Network controller failed?
