IMac Disconnects from Windows Network

I'm running into an issue on companies network where every time the computer goes to sleep (say we go out to lunch) and then wake it back up, the Mac disconnects from the windows network and share drives and needs to be restarted in order to get it to connect again. I've tried browsing the network in the finder and try connecting but it just seems to loop forever and never really connects.
I tried doing a search on this but couldn't find the best way to describe the problem. Are there any others runnning into this situation or are there other forum posts that are related to this issue?
Thank you!

Hi WhoButSB-
That is probably something your IT folks will have to correct.
The lease granted by the DHCP server is set to cut the connection loose after a period of inactivity or when the Mac sleeps and that period of time is apparently reached when you go to lunch.

Flex 2 14 periodically disconnects from the network on Wi-Fi.

My brand new Flex 2 14 periodically disconnects from the network on Wi-Fi. This is pretty unacceptable. Other PC's in the house are not experiencing the problem, so it's difficult to blame the router.,
I have a Broadcom 802.11N Network Adapter device with driver version 6.30.223.201, which is the latest on the Lenovo site. I am running Windows 8.1, as provided on the system. I've installed Windows updates and some other software, but have not otherwise changed the OS.
I have seen other users with similar problems, but no fixes for Broadcom.
Any ideas anyone? May be a "back to lenovo" thing.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I called Lenovo Tech Support and they had me try something that seems to be working. Apparently there are *two* drivers available for the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter: one published by Broadcom, one published by Microsoft. My system *was* configured to use the Broadcom driver, Lenovo Tech support had me change to use the Microsoft published driver. I have not had a disconnect since.
To change the selected driver:
0. Make sure you have the latest drivers from the Lenovo support site installed.
1. Launch "Device Manager"
2. Expand "Network adapters"
3. Right-click on "Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter" and select "Properties".
4. In the properies window, select the "Driver' tab and click "Update Driver..."
5. In the update window, select "Browse my computer for driver software"
6. On the next page, select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
7. On the next page, you should have a choice of selecting from one of two drivers. Select the one from *Microsoft*.
8. Click "Next" and complete the driver install.

Oracle Personal Edition (disconnected from the network)

Hello everyone,
I have oracle PE 10.1.0.2 installed on my laptop (running windows xp pro sp2). I have the laptop connected to the network most of the time. Yesterday, I was trying to access my database while I am in the coffee shop but I couldn't. I was getting a "no listener" error from the application I am using. I took a look at the running services and I found out "OracleDBConsoleorcl" and "OracleServiceORCL" did not start. I tried to start them. But I was getting a type 2 error. tried to reboot. no good
When I connected my computer to network, I was able to connect to the database from my application and from the enterprise manager.
I searched this forum and I found out that I need to configure a loopback adaptor if Oracle DB is installed on a DHCP computer. In my case, I am disconnected from the network. Would a loop back adaptor fix the issue? Would it cause any problems when I connect back to network? In another word, would the database listener and OracleServiceORCL services work if I am connected and disconnected from the network?
Thanks for the help

I do not have Personal Edition, but if you can a check, make a copy/backup, and then change the entries in $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\config
$ORACLE_HOME\sysman\config\emoms.properties $ORACLE_HOME\sysman\config\emd.properties
and any httpd configuration files in that directory.

Cannot start WAS when disconnected from the network

Hi, I have recently installed NW2004s (Developer Workplace) on my laptop, 1.5 G RAM, Windows xp. The WAS will not start when I am disconnected from the network b/c it is looking for the

HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network.

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer keeps disconnecting from my network. I have tried disconnecting my Firewall and AVG virus software, all to no avail. Can anyone help?

This is an issue I have seen multiple times, and telling people to check their network settings, or to fix wireless settings does NOT address the root cause of the problem.   For those who are English-impared, here is a very clear explanation of what is going on:
The printer is REMOVED from devices and printers, seemingly at random.    This is NOT a problem with "The printer is not printing", where fixing the network or resetting IP addresses will fix it.   The printer is GONE, and needs to be added again.
I know networking, and at no time should a loss of connection cause the printer to just be removed from Printers and Faxes, Printers, or anything like that.    If the connection is lost, the connection is lost, but the printer SHOULD still be set up in Windows, just pointing at the wrong place(if the IP address has been changed).
I suspect that it is more likely that the HP Update software is the culprit, and will test that theory today with a customer who has this problem.    It also seems to be limited to the HP Photosmart line of printers, since the Officerjet line does not seem affected by the bug.

Disconnection from cellular network

since i've bought my new 3gs this week it keeps disconnecting from the network if i keep it without usage for about some time ..approx 30 min or more....when some one calls me he finds me out of service and when i call some one the call fails and i have to restart the phone to once again get connected to the operator and can make and receive calls normally
i tried everything reset network settings, reset all setting, choose carrier manually, i restored the whole OS from i tunes (3.1.3) but nothing worked the same problem occurs..note that am using it on 2g and closing 3g as i have weak 3g in my area...
am really tired from that issue..please any help that would be great!!

If the issue is consistent and you say youve done all the steps youve listed my best advice would be to return the iphone to your nearest apple store.

SOLUTION to your HP printer going offline and/or constantly disconnecting from the network

If you are having a problem printing, scanning or faxing with any HP Printer because of it going offline and constantly disconnecting from the network, here is the fix!
I figured this all out after many unsuccessful attempts with HP Support, my Internet Service Provider and various troubleshooting tasks including reinstalling HP software over and over and over. Well, through self teaching on the internet and 6 grueling months of research, I FINALLY figured it out. OMG! I am a Paramedic (not IT) and somewhat computer literate but by far no expert. I here all of you! Nobody seems to have the answer but I am 97% sure that I do. Either way, please reply back and let me know that this did in fact work for you! :-)
It doesn't matter if your printer is installed wirelessly or wired. Don’t worry about reinstalling your software, no recycling your printers’ power or your Router/Modem. The reason your printer is unstable on the network and continues to either go offline or disconnect from the network is NOT because the software is glitched, it’s not a firewall problem per say, it’s not a router problem, there isn’t a problem with your power cord, it’s because most networks use a “range” of IP addresses and for security purposes, it sort of “cycles” the various devices’ IP addresses to decrease the chance of an attack. A printer is no threat but the “network” doesn’t possess human intelligence so it doesn’t know this. Below are my step by step instructions on how to basically make your printer hold its IP address (static IP) instead of changing back and forth through a cycle therefore dropping your printer off the network or disconnecting.
Funny, if you are someone who has had items in your print cue, they won’t print, and you turn your printer off and then back on and suddenly your documents print…well, join my club. The reason this works is because when you first turn on the printer, it starts with the same IP address before it cycles. If you are someone who sits there for a while and suddenly your documents print without you changing anything…this is because through the IP cycle change, it hits your printers IP address and the network will allow it to print. Not very funny, I know. It took me forever to figure out why my printer would print sometimes but not all the time. Since I figured this out, I can SCAN, PRINT and use all of the features of my installed HP software such as HP Solution Center, Photosmart Essentials.
On your printer, go to menu/setup/network and press OK. Inside the network menu, print a "network configuration page" so you can see the IP address and other settings for your printer.
Now, go back to main menu on your printers’ screen. Or you can go to your web browser and type in the IP address using the decimals too and this will take you to your printers’ web page. Choose: setup\network and press OK. Look for IP settings and press OK. Choose "manual" instead of "automatic". Enter the IP address there manually as well as the default gateway which you can see on the network configuration page that you printed earlier. Note: If you manually set the printer's IP, make sure that it is outside of your router's DHCP range. Otherwise you may run into an issue with duplicate IP's on your network. (If you don’t know how to do this, write back and I will explain). Don’t forget to click “save changes”. Now, restart your computer and print anything you want. :-)
A trick I often use with printers in DHCP networks:
In Printers and Faxes right click on the printer and select “properties”. Click add a new port. Choose standard TCP/IP port configured to the printer host name. Read the hostname from the printer's network configuration sheet.
Using my method means that you always connect to the printer even if its IP changes (which may happen with dynamic configuration). This does not jeopardize your network security. It just tells your printer to stay put and stop traveling the IP address highway. :-)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The DHCP range is the range of IP addresses the router hands out automatically as devices join the network. The DHCP range is determined by the router and each brand has a range set at the factory (that can be changed by you).
Your D-link's DHCP default range is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199. So, outside the DHCP range is .2 to .99 and .200 to .254.
Attached is a handy cheat sheet.
You can change this range by entering the router's settings page - type the router's IP address into a browser, enter the login info and navigate to the DHCP settings area (varies based on router, hunt around).

How to resolve "The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network." error in Sharepoint serach crawl.

Hi all,
I have created a content source in Search service application for a particular site collection "http://spwebapp/sites".
I performed reset crawl index of Search service application and then performed a full crawl.
But i get errors on running crawl on this content source for most of the files. The error is "The server is unavailable and could not be accessed. The server is probably disconnected from the network." Though the site is accessible.
But before performing reset index the crawl was working fine on this content source. Crawl is working fine for other site collections. Only one site collection is facing this problem. Please let me know if what I can do to resolve this error.
Thanks in advance.

Are you seeing any error messages in the URL related to the Gatherer? And in your content source, are there any site URLs that are no longer active or do you have any crawl rules set up that might be affecting access to the site collection?
I've seen this happen for a variety of reason, SSL issues, proxy issues, permissions issues. The Eventvwr and ULS logs should help you narrow down the real problem.
Sometimes this is an issue because the indexer and the site are sitting on the same box, you could try doing a disable loopback check to see if that resolves the issue and if it does then go through the hassle of setting up a specific LSA :

CRIO disconnects from Ethernet network and stops responding to pings

We are running a cRIO application that periodically disconnects from the Ethernet network even though the VI continues to run on the cRIO.
The application has two parallel loops. One loop reads data from the FPGA and writes it to a RT FIFO. The second loop opens a TCP connection to a remote host, reads data from the RT FIFO, and transmits the data to the remote host. We have instrumented each loop to send messages to the serial port that indicate their status. When the cRIO disconnects, both loops continue to send their status messages to the serial port. The first loop happily continues reading data from the FPGA and writing it into the RT FIFO. The RT FIFO overwrites the oldest data when it fills up to keep it from overflowing. The second loop reports a TCP write timeout (tcp write error 56) around the time that the cRIO disconnects, after which it closes the existing TCP connection and then repeatedly tries to open a new TCP connection (each attempt times out after a 5 second delay).
All that appears normal and usually the connection is automatically restored. Occasionally, however, the cRIO is not able to re-open the TCP connection. Furthermore, the cRIO stops responding to pings from the remote host. On two occasions, the cRIO was finally able to open a new connection after 30-40 minutes. Other than that, the only way we've found out of this dilemma is to reboot the cRIO.
The frequency of the disconnects and the time before they occur doesn't seem connected to whether or not the cRIO is set to run the application at startup or if the application is run via an interactive VI window on the remote computer.
It is possible that the disconnects have something to do with which computer the cRIO is connected to, as the problems seem to happen much more frequently (often within minutes) when the cRIO is sending data to a laptop running Windows XP, but it can run for hours when sending data to a rackmount server running Windows Server 2003. Everything else (the speed and size of data being sent, the ethernet hub and cables, the VI running on the remote computer) is the same.

We're done most of the testing with a 9014 real time controller and a 9104 chassis. However, we've also seen similar behavior with 9014/9103 and 9102/9101 combinations.
The 9014 cRIO normally runs at around 50% CPU usage and less than 40% memory usage when the data is flowing steadily. The RT System Monitor did not indicate a spike in either before the cRIO disconnected.
Measurement and Automation Explorer is not able to connect to the cRIO after it disconnects. We tried pinging the cRIO from a different computer, but that also failed.
After disconnecting, the cRIO sends error messages to the serial port while trying to open a new TCP connection. It reports an error 56 (time-out error) 3 or 4 times (for a total duration of 15 or 20 seconds) and then reports an error 42 (generic error) at least 10 times per second for 18 seconds, and then switches back to 15 seconds of timeouts, and so on. When getting error 42, it ALWAYS gets it for 18 seconds straight. It usually gets error 56 for 15 seconds (3 timeouts) but sometimes for 20 seconds (4 timeouts).
When the cRIO disconnects, it can't be contacted by any computer through the ethernet port, yet the link lights still show that it is connected. If its connected directly, both the green and orange link lights on the cRIO light up, but when it is connected through the 10 Mb hub, only the orange link light lights up, but the hub shows that the cRIO is connected to it. In spite of this, it is still impossible to ping the cRIO in either scenario.
It is possible that, in addition to what computer the cRIO is connected to, the errors could be related to whether the cRIO has a direct connection to a computer or if it is connected through a hub. Today, we have only managed to get errors when the cRIO is directly connected to a laptop (one error after 1.5 minutes, one after 10 minutes, one after 7 minutes, etc.) There were no disconnects when the cRIO was connected to a 10 Mbps hub for more than half an hour.
Do any of those symptoms give you clues about what is happening?
Thanks!

Constant Disconnection from Cellular Network

Hi There, so I've gotten my iPhone 5 32GB since July 2013 and I honestly adore the phone however, there is a problem i'm facing with it quite recently.... the phone keeps disconnecting from the cellular network carrieer every 10 secs of the day... so...I'll start up the phone it connects with 5 blocks of reception.. then it drops to four...then to 1... then it completely disconnects itself from the network and the Edge sign disappers and then 5 secs after it connects back. I dont use my phone much to talk.. however.. it messes up my data plan, i can't even make a call that is more than 10secs... it drains the battery life and I have to wait every few secs to send a whatsapp mesg/fb etc. . I spoke to my carrier... they used different sims of the same network to see if its the sim card itself being the issue.. but its not.. we even used another network's sim.. but no difference.. What should I do?
Sincerely, Stefan (first time Apple user)

Hey stef4896,

My iMac disappears from my network sometimes

I'm not sure what's happened but as of lately I've noticed that my iMac(late 2009) disappears from the network every now and then.
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks in advance

Let's set a static IP address for the printer with this method:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Apple TV Disconnects from Wireless Network

I've got an Apple TV that apparently likes to disconnect from my wireless network and the only way to get it to reconnect is to re-setup the network on the Apple TV. This is really getting annoying because it seems that each time I want to sync it or rent a movie I have to reenter the network key. I've performed a factory reset and always download the updates whenever they're available.
I have noticed that the Apple TV is picking up a bunch of other wireless networks in the area and mine is about 4th on the list. Though my signal is much stronger that all the others. I'm using a Airport Extreme base station as my router/access point for this Apple TV.
Any ideas? or anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi
I was having the same problem. It is most likely as was previously posted, signal interference.
As I don't know what router configuration you are using (I use Time Capsule) I am not completely sure this will work but if you download from Apple Support Airport Radar it will tell you what signal channels in your area are in use. You can then select one that no one else is using with your Airport Utility/ Manual Setup or with whatever configuration tool your router has and the problem will go away. In my case Channel 8 was best.
Hope this helps.

Printer disconects from windows networking with Client32

Hi,
I have a printer attached to a Windows 2000 box. It is shared with windows
networking.
I have a remote client that cannot see the shared printer while the IPX
protocol is loadaed.
I unsintall the Novell client, remove the IPX protocol and the printer is
there.
If I reinstall the client, the connection to the printer is lost
Any Idea what may be wrong ??
I tried installing the client only with IPX and IPX/ip and nothing works
Thanks in advance,
ernesto Fox

It is most likely an MS Browser issue.
How is the MS Client configured? IP? IPX? Does the network involve
routers?
We are really moving beyond NW Issues, but I suspect that Different PCs are
becoming master browswer and generating different lists of MS Network
resources.
While potentionally not the most efficient design, you may want to ensure
that IPX is loaded for all of the MS Clients, that the IPX frame-type if
forced on all of the PCs. etc....
Now that recommendation would be to ensure easy browsing of MS resources in
a simple network.
If you can get your hands on some free LPD software for setting up LPR
printers on your Windows 2000 this would be very easy.
W2K ships with the ability to print to LPR but not host LPR printers. XP
comes with both I believe.
http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?12500000037640 is a free copy or LPD
software.
