IBook suddleny lost network connection settings

I have an iBook G3 dual USB. It's running Leopard 10.3.9 or whatever the last update is. It was connecting fine to my network fine vis LAN cable. I did the last of the updates, I believe the last were A Security update and maybe airport software. (I do not have an airport card)I rebooted and now I will not connect. I checked the network settings and the IP address and related settings have changed. I tried to change them and still will not connect. I tried the assistant still no luck. I can not explain how angry I am right now. I had the same issue with Tiger so I down graded to Leopard and all was well until the lasr batch of updates and reboot. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

    Lost network connection of open database
    How to solve this problem?
    Message was edited by: jcnet

    Hi, I discovered in (Win 7 & 8 I assume) that if you go into your network adapter settings and click 'Configure' then go to the 'Power Management' menu there is an option to 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'. I unchecked this and now no more crashing with the network connection lost error. Not sure it will work for everyone but might be the solution for some.

  • Lost Network Connection | Safari & iMail | AppleTalk & TCP/IP O.K.

    Lost Network Connection | Safari & iMail | AppleTalk & TCP/IP O.K.
    Well ... all of a sudden my iMail and Safari will not connect to the internet.
    I can see other Macs on the network.
    I can use the same iMail account settings on other Mac's O.K. and other Mac's can browse the internet O.K.
    So it's a sudden local Mac problem, not a network or SMTP thing.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Has Safari or iMail suddenly broken and one effects the other?

    Turns out the 'node' on the hub had failed completely, ethernet cable was OK.

  • Fascinate lost network connection after last Froyo update.

    Anyone know how to fix this issue. After updating to the knew froyo upate last month my sons phone lost network connection and won't connect. It doesn't even show up in the settings for him to be able to connect. He can still make calls and connect but nothing data wise. Plus he still gets missed calls so that update never worked for him either. Please help and thanks.

    I understand how frustrating this must be. My personal device had this problem and I found a solution that worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you as well.
    1. Put the device in Airplane mode (hold power button and select airplane mode)
    2. Wait 3 minutes for changes to take effect. You should see the airplane icon in the notification bar as well as the airplane lock screen.
    3. Power the device off and wait 15 seconds.
    4. Power the device on. Once sense loads, turn airplane mode off.
    5. In the settings>Wireless & Networks Menu, check the box entitled "Mobile Network"
    6. Everything should re-provision and data should be restored.
    If the steps above do not resolve you issue you may want to try a master reset. Resetting the phone deletes all data, including downloaded applications, and resets the phone back to its initial state—the state before you turned on the phone for the first time.
    Important: Make sure to back up important data you have on the phone before you reset your device.
    Master Reset:
    From the home screen, touch Menu
    Touch Settings 
    Touch SD & phone storage
    Touch Factory data reset
    Tap Reset phone 
    Tap Erase everything
    Reset may take anywhere from 1 - 10 minutes for reset and restart depending on amount of data on device.
    I hope this information has been helpful.

  • GUI Bug / Suggestion - View Network Connection Settings

    I'm currently running Windows Server Technical Preview in a VMware Workstation environment.  When I click on the network icon in the system tray, and then proceed to click on "View Network Connection Settings", nothing happens.  Is this
    a bug?
    I know in the desktop OS this opens PC Settings which doesn't exist in Server, but it makes sense for this button to link to "Network Connections" or even "Network and Sharing Center" in Server. 

    Enable Desktop Experience. Server with a GUI is not the full GUI, you need to enable Desktop Experience (on User Interface options), Fax Server (for Windows Fax and Scan), Server Backup, wireless, XPS Viewer and GUI for Windows Defender, to make use of
    the full graphical experience. Some shortcuts and elements in the GUI make sense only after you activate thoose functions. Windows Server seems a modified version of Windows client x64, more or less, some leftovers from the client origin still remain
    in the server version. Some client features are present, but turned off by default, if you want to experiment, you can enable them. Windows Server can become very close to the Windows client, if you know what to turn on.

  • Adobe Browserlab - Tells me network connection settings won't allow connection

    I can use the Dreamweaver --> File --> Preview In Browser menu to test from so maybe it's no big deal but was just wondering if I was missing something by not having Browser Lab and if I am how do I modify my Mac Network connection settings to get Browserlab to work?
       me again  -- Dave V.

    In this one http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/846/cpsid_84665.html
    On Mac OS X
    Do the following:
    Quit all CS5 applications.
    Open the Apple Property List Editor (supplied with the Apple SKD) or other property list editor application..
    Open the file [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist.
    Select Root to see the subentries.
    Locate the string object AdobeOnlineDefault. if the key does not exist, you'll need to create it.
    Double-click this string value and set it's Value Data to "0" to disable CS Live access.
    Save the com.adobe.AdobeOnlineHelp.plist file.
    Quit the plist editor.
    I put that value to 1 instead of 0 and it made everything work. The CS Live button in the Tool bar in all Adobe applications is for access to various online Adobe services, BrowserLab among them. I don't have Property List Editor but used Prefsetter and it worked. I've for a long time had my Adobe applications saying that they are not connected to the internet. But doing this setting today solved it for me. CS Live is not only for groups. I am a one-person operation but the CS Live button is the easiest way to reach those services you want. Provided the application don't says that it is not connected to the internet... The Adobe technote describes how top turn it off, not how to turn it on. And it is only the AdobeOnline Default that needs changing. Nothing else.

  • Removed ip access-list & lost network connectivity

    An access-list was removed to edit and replace. Once the access-list was removed we lost network connectivity to the remote router. This list is an extensive one. But when we remove on other remote routers network connectivity remained. Can anyone tell me why? Is this a typical of access-list, and good practice is to wait until after business hours?

    No problem.
    I am sure that we have all had experiences of looking at things we have written, or questions answered, and realized that what we wrote was not quite what we were thinking as we created it.
    Your main point is well taken that it is good practice to remove the access-group before removing and changing the content of access lists.
    Sometimes I take a slightly different approach: I will build a new version of the access list using a different number (if I am changing access list 101, I may create list 102) which is the modified version of the list. I then change the access-group to reference the new version of the list. This may have a couple of advantages including the fact that the interface is always protected by some access list. Also it makes backing out changes easier if we discover that there was some flaw in our list modification.

  • Chat Windows are closed on lost network connection

    Hi,
    Lync seems to behave a little bit differently from the Communicator regarding lost network connectivity.
    As soon as Lync looses the connection to the server (e.g. by switching from LAN to WLAN) it logs off and
    closes all chat windows - which is the main annoyance.
    Can this behaviour be changed somehow so chat windows stay open and their content isn't lost?
    Due to legal restrictions automatic saving of chat history is disabled - so that's no alternative to access the lost chats.
    Any help/ideas appreciated.

    Hi,GGerlan,
    Unfortunately,As soon as Lync looses the connection to the server (e.g. by switching from LAN to WLAN) it logs off and
    closes all chat windows this is by desgin,however you can check the conversation history when you switch from Contacts windows to Conversation windows in Lync client control panel and then click on the contacts to open the conversation windows
    with missed conversation history.See below screenshot
    Also if you deployed Exchange and you can check the conversation history in your outlook conversation history folder.

    Hi
    In your case I recommend updating the BIOS and to enable the option Wake up on LAN in BIOS and in the Vista.
    In Vista you can enable this in device manager -> LAN card properties -> Advanced tab
    Additionally a LAN driver update would be advisable.

  • Officejet 8600 lost network connection

    This is the first problem I have had with this great printer.
    The printer is no longer recognized by my computer.  I have restarted the computer, the printer, used wireless setup wizard, called apple 2x and was able to get the printer back for a day and then it fell off the grid and is beyond my scope of expertise.  I have also printed the wireless network test, HP Network configuration page and the printer status report.
    Everything seems to check out except my computer is not finding the printer.  The HP utility cannpt locate the printer in the devices tab.  I have even downloaded the latest driver, but, since it cannot connect to the printer there is no change.
    The printer worked until someone else shared the network, btw.  I allow my students to use the wireless and the printer lost its connection when others were logged on.  I am not sure if that is coincidental or not.
    I'd like to avoid the $99 one-time call to HP, any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank!

    It may be related to how busy the router is. If this is at a class room, ask your IT person to reserve the ip address for the printer or assign it a fixed ip address.
    This is because most router do DHCP, so every device when connected, may get a new ip address, so the saved printer info become invalid (to a computer, the printer with the older ip address is offline), until you re-discover the printer or reboot the computer (and takes some time to update the devices on the network).

  • Frequent lost network connection

    I just got my apple tv and set up went easy peasy...here's my question. In the last 2 hrs it has lost the network connection about 5 times. So far 2 times while I've been watching a movie. I have verizon fios internet and This is my 1st foray into streaming content. I use the abc player on my ipad at work and the frequent buffering on that drives me bonkers (I attribute that to the free wifi speed or whatevs). Anyways is this frequent lost connection to be expected? Now 3 times...

    By the end of movie I had to reconnect 6 times...is that normal?
