HELP ME!!! NIC ISSUES! PLEASE!

Can someone please help me, im on my 5th card now and still no success, i now have a 3com 3c905cx-tx-mn in here, the system detects it and lists it by name in the hardware listing but it wont work when i try to reconfigure for networking.
PLEASE HELP
even if you cant tell me how to make this work can someone give me a model # for a nic that works with no additional configuration???? please its been a week and i cant get past this networking issue, im trying to set this machine up for DHCP off my CABLE?DSL router but nothing seems to work.
Thank you
Azi

Trying to get 3Com cards working under Solaris is a career, or even a career-limiting move.
I find that Solaris is very happy with the Intel PRO/100 card, all the way back to version 2.5.1
Solaris 8 (or 2.8, whatever you call it) is far more aware of recent network cards. It even recognizes network cards integrated on the motherboard.
Good luck.

  • Need your help on performance issue please

    Hello everyone!
    I need your help to understand an effect I notice with a Thread class I built. I currently work on enhancement of my application Playlist Editor (see http://www.lightdev.com/page74.htm) and a new release will be available soon.
    Among other extensions the new release will have a title filter function which is based on audio data that is recursively read from ID3 tags of files found in a given root directory. The data collection is done by a CollectionThread class which reads into a data model class AudioDataModel and the entire process works fine, no problem with that.
    However, when my application is started for the first time the CollectionThread runs approximately 3 minutes to collect data from approximately 4300 audio files on an Intel Pentium M 1,4 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows XP SP2. When the application is shut down and started again, it takes only a few seconds to do the same task for all subsequent launches.
    I already tried to start the application with java option -Xms40m to increase initial heap size. This increases performance in general but the effect is still the same, i.e. first run lasts significantly longer than subsequent runs.
    I also tried to build a pool mechanism which creates many empty objects in the data model and then releases them to contain the actual data at is being read in but this did not lead to better performance.
    It must have to do with how Java (or Windows?) allocates and caches memory. I wonder whether there is a way to pre-allocate memory or if there are any other ideas to improve performance so that the process always only takes seconds instead of minutes?
    I attach the key classes to this message. Any help or ideas is much appreciated!
    Thanks a lot a best regards
    Ulrich
    PS: You can use the news subscription service at
    http://www.lightdev.com/dynTemplate.php4?id=80&dynPage=subscribe.php4 to be informed when the new release of Playlist Editor is available.
    All classes posted here do not need debugging, they already have proven to run error free. The classes are only posted for information for the interested reader - no need to go through all the stuff in detail - only if it interests you.
    My application calls class CollectionThread wich is a subclass of InfoThread. CollectionThread recursively goes through a directory and file structure and stores found ID3 tag information in instances of class ID3v11Tag which in turn gets stored in one instance of class AudioDataModel. All classes are shown below.
    This is the mentioned CollectionThread

    Hi Franck,
    thank you, mate. I did what you suggested (changed class attached) but that did not change the mentioned behaviour.
    The first run is approximately 75 seconds with Java option -Xms40m and approx. double without, the second run and all subsequent runs are only 2-3 seconds each (!!!) even when terminating and re-starting the application between thread runs.
    I'm pretty clueless about that, any more help on this anyone?
    Thanks a lot and best regards
    Ulrich
    PS: BTW, I forgot to post the class that is filled with data by class CollectionThread, so here it is

  • Help with access control please

    So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

    The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
    So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
    ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,

  • Drag and drop issue, please help.

    I can no longer drag and drop photos within photoshop elements 12.  When working with a layer, I want to move it to a layer within another existing file, and no longer have the option.  The only way I have fixed the issue in the past is uninstall and reinstall the program.  I've read other forum posts and followed the instructions by resetting preferences and it does not work.
    Does anyone have any solutions to this issue?  Please help!

    With both files open, simplest to tile them side by side, you should be able to drag the layer from the source file onto the target file. So long as it shows the 'grasping hand' you can release the mouse and it should add the layer to the target.
    So what is happening now on your system? When you drag the layer to the target what icon is shown - 'grasping hand', 'no entry', something else?

    You need to find out who the carrier was in Switzerland and see if they will unlock the device. The carrier with the lock is the only one that can authorize the unlock. You may need to check with the original owner and see if they can get it unlocked by the carrier if you do not qualify.

    need help with premiere pro cs6 having performance issues please help

    Welcome to the forum.
    First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
    Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
    If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.

  • Trackpad Issue - Please Help!

    Hi there,
    Hope you can help me out here.
    I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
    A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
    These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
    Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
    There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
    If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
    This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
    Appreciate your help here.
    J

    I'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
    I can't thank them enough.
    My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
    The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related.

  • Decimal issue please help

    Gurus,
    Please help with decimal issue.
    My sending field type is packed decimal and has a value of 11.88 and I defined receiving field as Numeric text with size 10. I am expecting 0000001188 in my receiver field after the move. But I am getting 0000000012 in my receiver field.
    My requirement is to have 0000001188 in my receiver field. Can you please guide me how to do this?
    Thanks for your time!
    Best regards,
    Pavan

    Hi,
    The earlier post has correct direction. Here is the sample implementation
    data lv_num TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE '11.88'.
    data : lv_char TYPE c LENGTH 10.
    data : lv_string TYPE string.
    data : lv_neum TYPE n LENGTH 10.
    lv_char  = lv_num. " Value is 11.88
    lv_string = lv_num. "  Value is 11.88
    lv_neum = lv_num. "  Value is 12
    lv_neum = lv_string. "  Value is 11.88
    lv_neum = lv_char. "  Value is 11.88
    WRITE lv_string.
    So, based on the implicit type casting you can use the following logic.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Samantak.

    Hi Venu,
    We can't add authorisation objects on Individual servers.We need to add authorisations on BWD ie Dev system and transport to BWI QUA system.This is the Process we need to follow as per our rule set.
    So,As the problem mentioned above if i add some auth. objects on BWD DEV system and transport it to BWI QUA system,it is getting transported Successfully to BWI,but the auth.objects what i have added on BW DEV system is not found on BW QUA system.
    What could be the problem for that,Is that the problem with transports like TP error or is it related with some tables of auth.objects...................
    Could u please analyse the problem and tell me the solution for this..........
    Thanks Much

  • Headerrenderer issue -Please help

    Headerrenderer issue -Please help
    hi
    I have a datagrid and I am  doing a custom sorting on the grid(by getting data from DB).
    I achieve this by capturing the headerrelease event of datagrid .In thee venthandler I will query from DB and do event.preventdefault to prevent standard grid sorting.
    Now I need to display my own custom ascending/descending arrows in the header.i have created an header renderer for this,
    In the headerrenderer I am lsitening to the headerrelease event of datagrid and in the eventlistener, as per the sortfield, i am trying to make the sort arrow visible/invisible.
    But somehow making the sort arrows visible/invisible is not working.The initial arrow works fine.it is shown the correct column(Name) as done in the init() method.
    The eventhandler is invoked on clicking the column headers and all the alerts are shown.
    Please see the headerrenderer code below and help me.(code is not complete only the relevant part is included)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:HBox

  • Battery with X and an "alleged" spill issue - Please help

    Hi Everyone, This is my first post here. I had an X on my battery (which seems to be a common issue) and I tried everything in the forums and it did not work. Later, I called apple support and they sent me a new battery. This did not solve the problem either. So, I sent the mac in for repairs and they told me that the logic board has corrosion due to liquid spill, and apple care would not cover it. The sad part is that I can vouch for the fact that there was no liquid on or around my laptop, since I use it for my research and no one can borrow it because of the restricted material (graduate school requirements). Please help, and let me know if there is any way out of this. Is there anything other than spillage that can cause this corrosion on the logic board?
    PS: The logic board had to be changed within two months of buying it, when the display stopped working, and so this is the third logic board within a year (pretty exciting life for a little mac book!).

    Thanks for the reply micheal, but is'nt it unfair that they think it is my fault, when my macbook went bad in a couple of months? I am sure it would be very difficult for me to prove that I am not at fault, but even they cannot prove their innocence (remember that the product has been opened by them and not me!). I feel like smashing the same laptop that I liked so much and buying something else, just to get over this. If any one has any experience with such issues, please let me know a sensible way of handling it. It is my word against theirs and I am losing sleep and possibly $1400 or so...any help is appreciated.

  • Help with some iPhone issues please

    Ok, I am starting to have some problems with my iPhone 3G, and would really appreciate any help with these issues.. here is what is happening
    1) iPhone Vibrate is pretty much broken, turns off and on vibrate by itself.. and now is vibrating very softly.
    2) iPhone wont sync my Music anymore, I have 3 playlists that I use on my iPhone, and none of them will update. When I sync my iPhone, everything syncs but the music.
    3) iPhone sometimes completely freezes and i cant get it to go to the locksreen or power off, so I have to do a hard restart.

    Hi Matt,
    Try restoring the iPhone, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through the process.
    If the vibrate and unlock issues persists, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Just make a reservation to have a Genius, at a local Apple retail store, take a look at it or call AppleCare.
