HELP PLEASE! DSL isnt connecting..lights are flashing

Hi, I am hoping someone can help. My DSL was turned on the first of Feb and I just got a computer today and tried to setup my connection. I installed everything and plugged everything in and it isnt connecting.
I called verizon and they said it isnt on their end.... its something maybe with my phone line they are sending a technician monday. I hate to be mean but they didnt quiet sound all that sure LOL... anyways the lights on my modem are flashing... the data light and the DSL light.. the internet light isnt on at all... I have a westell 6100G I am connected directly into it.. no router. Also i am showing that I am connected at the bottom right of my screen with the 2 computers flashing says im connected at 100mbps....dont know if that means anything but i thought i would add it.
Is there any settings I can change? i went into the web address for the modem and it is set to PPPoE. I usually have cable internet so I dont know all that about the PPPoE...
If anyone could give me any ideas if there is anything I can change or whatever to possibly avoid a tech and get it working on my own.... I am currently running a dial up connection to troubleshoot my problem so if my dial up will hinder any changes please let me know.... thanks

it sounds like the modem is not plugged into the phone line.
all of the lights are going to initally be on for a split second ( to let u know that the LEDS work )
if the internet light is not on, its not recieving an internet signal ( just like on your cabel modem )
the modem and computer are talking to each other ( data light flashing a lil bit ) and then they dont have anything to say to each other ( data light stopped flashing )
i know its probably plugged into the phone line at the wall, but double check the connection, the cable and all that stuff, the problem probably lies somewhere around there.
especially if verizon said its not on there end
... and by the way, i like turtles

Apple to lights are flashing and displaying to connect to laptop to restore but I don't not own a laptop.

Apple TV light is flashing and displaying to connect to laptop to restore but I don't not own a laptop. can I restore with the remote ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume when you say you do not own a laptop, that you do not own a computer of any kind.
If you don't have a friend that has a computer that runs iTunes, then you can always take it into the nearest Apple Store and they will restore it for you.

Help. DSL drops connection all the time, is it the modem? (westell 327W)

Pardon me because I'm not so tech aware, and so don't know what to do to try to find a solution. We lose our internet connection a lot. It seems to happen in spurts: last night we couldn't connect at all, today it was bad in the morning but now I've been on for about a half an hour and all seems good. I can't figure out any pattern. Last weekend we were fine all weekend, during the week it was bad every single day.
I connect through a desktop and the westell modem; upstairs we connect with a laptop and wireless. The connection problems happen in both places, although it's our housemates who connect upstairs through the wireless and so I'm not entirely sure if they have problems when we're having problems or not (this has been going on for so many months, we've all kind of adapted to it. but it's more and more frustrating). Our wireless is encrypted.
When we can't connect, we get the Explorer 'cannot find website because you are not connected to the internet' error page. Even when we can't connect, the "local area connections" icon on the lower right side of the screen (Windows XP) says we have a network connection at 10.0 mbs. The lights on the modem are all green, and the DSL light stays steady green, although sometimes the internet light will blink erratically, and the wireless light always blinks quickly. We recently switched out the cable to the jack, so it's not that.
Sometimes we can get it to get back a connection briefly by doing one of these things (but they don't always work):
- use the "repair" button on the local area connections window support tab -- this will often get it back for a few minutes but is rarely permanent. When it doesn't work, it usually says it's because it can't renew the IP address
- turn the modem on and off. That's what worked this morning. It did not work last night.
- turn the computer on and off. That worked last night only to get an initial connection that then pooped out.
- use the verizon support popup that sometimes (and only sometimes) appears when we're having connectivity problems. This morning that worked briefly -- the internet connection popped back up at the stage where the pop up siad "testing connection."
Any idea what is going on here? I tried a couple months ago to get help through verizon online support, and it ended up as a 3 hour phone call to India that resolved things only for an afternoon, and not on any more long term basis, and I don't want to do that again unless I know what I'm asking for (since all they do is go through some kind of checklist).

HT3669 Help please: Unable to connect HP4350 Laser Jet to network

I just purchased the printer today (replaced an exact same printer) but am unable to connect it. The printer is not appearing in the “Nearby Printers” list so I tried to manually add it with the IP address but keep getting message: “Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to connect to “......” due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?” I tried, & said continue but it does not work, printer que says “Printer not connected” I feel like I must be just missing a simple step. I went through & reset the printers, did the disk utility, unplugged everything, shut off & restarted & NO LUCK! Help Please! I have spent all afternoon trying to figure this out & am regretting not submitting my issue on here sooner...
Thank you!

Hp officejet 6310. I keep getting a reset power error message, all the lights are flashing

HP Officejet 6310 All in One printer. Computer is a HP Pavillion a1410n. Operating system is Windows xp media center edition. Version 2002.
I keep getting a reset power message on my HP officejet 6310, flashing lights. Machine is unresponsive. I have tried to reset power by unplugging power cord and plugging it back in while holding down the # key and 3, 6 or 9 keys.
Tried taking out the ink cartridges and put them back in. Now the printer says my tri color ink cartridge is depleated. It is not.
The test page is perfect and the alignment page is fine when it prints out. I have always used genuine HP ink cartridges.
The main problem is it starts up fine then after set up it goes to the reset power message with the flashing lights. Sometimes I can clear it but then the camera icon flashes and the machine is still unresponsive. Please help !

I have the same problem with my HP 6310xi.
I never get to a point where I can print the page because it is always doing cartridge alignment.
If the cartridge alignment is canceled, The machine will complete it start up and provide a functional scanner and printer.
This condition is unstable and it may revert any time to the power reset lights flashing at which time you can do the cancel procedure, but this is a real bother.
I am truly getting unhappy with Hewlett-Packard and their printers. Their proprietary cables. Their proprietary voltages and their installation software that throws garbageware on your computer.
I have an Epson it seems to be working over 10 years now and my problem is becoming one of finding ink supplies. In addition, I can fit a full-page which you cannot do with the HP. There a genius engineers had decided that you do not need that last half-inch no matter how much you want it.

Photosmart C7280 Screen is blank and all panel lights are flashing

Photosmart C7280 All-in-one screen goes blank and all control panel lights flash, can be reset by switching off/on various number of times. Problem then returns in differing length of time.

Does it actually connect to your network? If so, type the printer's IP address into a web browser, go to the Network Tab, then Network Protocols and choose "Enable IPv4 only", then Apply.

Help Please w/Internet Connection

MACBOOK Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Hi all! Purchased new MB 3 weeks ago. After 3 weeks of major issues connecting to internet via Linksys Router not to mention it messed up my mother's ability to connect to internet, I am beyond frustrated. So frustrated that I am considering returning my MB and buying a HP laptop. I ended up returning the router after Apple tech help told me that many Mac users are not able to connect w/Linksys. Now I have no router and can logon to internet from time to time through a neighbors, but it's not reliable. So today I purchased a Netgear. Have not installed it yet cause mom has been on computer all day working. Is Netgear just a better router? Should I expect the same issues? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I just got my macbook last week and I was going insane with the dial up which takes 2years and a day to get to one page to another. If you have the funds this is what I did yesterday to get high speed wireless internet connection.
1. go to launch2net.com to download demo software for mac.
2. Call your cell phone company to get internet plan added let them know you want to use phone as modem but don't listen to them if they tell you can't do it. My phone company didn't know Jack.
3. Bluetooth your cell phone to mac
4. Try to connect to internet with launch2net. Launch2net will automatically find cell (only if it is right cell phone)
5. If you get on go ahead and purchase full verison of launch2net about 80 eur dollar aka $116 us dollars but it is soooooo worth it.
I have tmobile service and I already had 2 cell phone numbers. I have Sidekick3 and MDA. Neither worked so I had to go buy Razor phone for $230 w/o upgrade so I don't have to extend service contact. As soon as I charged Razor launch2net was on and poppin. I love it. Now I can surf the web anywhere I want at work, home, in my car, at boring meeting. I love it. It was the best thing. And what make it so bad is the Mac customer service techs don't know swat about their own product.

Help please! UD connect datasource can not stay in synch with source table

I have been using UD connect to extract data from Sybase table views for 2 years already. As many who have used UD connect know it is very diffcult to get it to work. But I went through all that and at least it has been working fine except sometimes difficulty transporting. And I am aware of all major OSS notes about UD Connect.
However this loading error has been driving me crazy. Almost on a daily basis some data loads would fail with error 'DataSource (datasource name) has to be replicated '.
So I re-generated the datasource and activated infosources, test loaded and it all worked fine. Come next morning it would fail again with the same error.
I talked with DBAs and they swear that no table changes were made overnight. then after it keep happening for several days in a row, I ruled out table change possibilities. Especially when I read this morning the error message:
DataSource (datasource name) does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
The time stamp in the source system is 2007.05.01 17:40:59.
The time stamp in the BW system is 2007.05.01 17:39:45.
The timestamp is only less than 2 minute apart.
Can anyone give me any pointers?
I now have a production support problem everyday.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am in need to automate the UD Connect process in SAP BI. I am trying to push the data on daily load basis from SQL Server 2005 to SAP BI. I was told to use UD Connect due to some restrictions.
Could you plz let me know how I can automize the UD Connect process. I have a minimum experience configure the RFC destination etc. But that is not enough to go and start the process.
First I wanted to know how the view will be taken it to SAP BI?
Before the view is moving to SAP BI, will the UD Connect converts the view into Flat file and then transfers to SAP BI?
If it converts to flat file, where will it be stored in SAP BI? Is it stores in Application directory of the BI server or something else?
If it not converts into flat file, then how can I automate this process on daily load basis, for this should I write any ABAP program? If yes, please let me know the pseudo code how I can do it?
I am really confusing about the daily load basis.
It would be highly appreciated if you let me know the process.

BB Tour HELP PLEASE?? Key functions are frozen....

My BB Tour is completely frozen; the trackball moves the cursor but that's it!! The keyboard functions do no work at all; they are completely frozen. I can't open any windows. I have taken the battery out and tried to reset it but that's not working and its been almost 48 hrs now with the battery sitting out! PLease! Help??!

Just to be clear, you're removing your battery while your phone is powered on, right? Removing it while your phone is off will do nothing. (I have to ask because this was the case with a couple of people, so we might as well eliminate it as a problem).
If that doesn't do it, you might want to talk to your carrier about getting another phone. We could help you load another OS on your phone, but you shoudn't have to do that and there's no guarantee it will work. In addition, if you do load another OS and it's not yet supported by your carrier, you wouldn't be able to get support from them.
Let us know your progress.

I have an airport extreme and am trying to extend the range of the wireless network with an airport express. I set it up with the help of apple support, both lights are green on both airports, but the range didn't change. What could be wrong?

I am trying to extend the range of my wireless network by adding an airport express to an airport extreme. I configured it with the help of apple support, but it hasn't changed the range that I can access the internet wirelessly in my house. What could be the problem? Does weather affect the wireless network??

So, on the Extreme you checked the box to "allow this network to be extened" ?
Correct?
And on the Express, you set it up to "Extend a wireless network" ?
Correct?
See this Apple article and see if you missed anything...

Set up: Components of an extended network
➊ Primary Wi-Fi base station (this is the base station connected directly to the Internet)
➋ Extended base station
Configuring a wireless extended network
To create a wireless extended network, you must place any extended Wi-Fi base stations within range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.
Start with the device that will be configured as the primary Wi-Fi base station. Then configure your extended Wi-Fi base stations, ensuring that each is within direct range of the primary Wi-Fi base station.The physical location of extended Wi-Fi base stations will vary according to the building environment and may require some experimentation.
If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.

My macbook won't start, only power light are flashing about two seconds

My Macbook Pro don't start anymore. The powerlight is flashing about 2 seconds.
The DVD-drive is starting and the disk turns on and is running.
I have resetted all RAMS as described in the apple support.
Before the actual situation, the computer hang up in iPoto with a flickering screen.
The crash-report mentiond somewhat about a read-error in a ?-RAM.
I could create a second partition and I wanted to install OSX-Lion, when the message came that the computer restarted, it didn't start and nothing could help.
Do sombody know what I can do to solove the problem?
Sincerely macsmbw

I'm having precisely this problem myself. For what it's worth, my macbook suffered a pretty devastating crash immediately before this happened. (I was playing a game and it completely crashed during play and shut down.)
