Ineternet connect times out and/or disconnects

I am helping a friend set up their emac with a new dsl modem. I installed OSX 10.3.9 and the Internet Connect works fine but seems to time out occasionally and also disconnects when the computer goes to sleep or on shutdown. I have to manually connect after returning from sleep mode or on start up. My other macs are always connected automatically. I could not find a preferences setting for this.
Any ideas how to keep it connected?

Check the settings of the DSL modem; specifically, the DHCP lease time --- set it to as large a value as possible. Every DSL modem I've seen requires using PPoE; confirm that's checked in System preferences -> Network -> Built-in Ethernet

  • Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.3) will not connect to Wi-Fi -- persistant 'connection time-out', and fails.

    I can see this seems to be a common problem, and it is amazing that there seems to be no consensus (that I can find) on what the underlying problem is.
    Here are the basics.... I have two Macbook Pro 13's... Pretty much identical setups (Lion 1.7.3 etc.).
    One, works flawlessly connecting to Wi-Fi - whether that is my Airport Express, or any other open or closed networks.
    The second, will continually refuse to connect -- to the Airport Express or even a wide-open 802.11b network.  It will continually pop up the "connection timeout" erorr, and refuse to connect... 
    Iphones etc all connect perfectly... Even when connecting to the iPhone hotspot - the same error.
    This will happed consistently, until I give up.  I can leave it for a day (use ethernet), and come back tomorrow, and voila - it will connect.  I may be able to use it for a day or several, but once it decides to 'fail', there is virtually nothing I can do to bring it back... it will continue to fail over and over again.
    All updates are applied, I've cleaned out all other networks etc from the list.  Tried all civilized things that I can.
    Thoughts? Anyone have any other insight?  Think this could be a hardware issue? I was thinking to yank the wi-fi module from the working notebook to the non-working one as a test...
    Thanks,
    Brad

  • Connection time out, connection time out

    i've got a mac mini in my living room wich is hooked up to a modem and one wich is standing in my bedroom.
    When i try to connect my bedroom mini by wifi it wil tell me: "connection time out" and i haven't got a clue on how to resolve this.
    please help, thnx in advance!
    i haven't got an external wifi transmitter if that might be of interest

    Are you trying to share the Internet connection from one Mac mini to the other? That is, the mini in the living room that is connected to the Internet modem by Ethernet to share this Internet connection via the mini's AirPort card to the mini in the bedroom ... correct?
    If so, approximately how far away from each other are the minis and how many walls, ceilings, floors, etc. are between them?

  • BPC: SOA and setting connection time outs in BPC

    Hi All,
    can any one explain SOA architecture of BCP and how it improves performance?
    My understanding of SOA arcitecture is it breaks down large application into small modules called services.
    Here what are the services it is refering to?
    And in SOA arcitecture, is the client connected to server only when it requests for a service and connection terminates after the service is provided?
    If that is the case, what is the need for setting connection time outs to improve BPC performance.
    Any Help is Greatly appreciated.
    kranthi kumar

    SOA = services oriented architecture
    is a method for systems development and integration where functionality is grouped around business processes and packaged as interoperable services. SOA also describes IT infrastructure which allows different applications to exchange data with one another as they participate in business processes. The aim is a loose coupling of services with operating systems, programming languages and other technologies which underlie applications.[1] SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services[2], which are made accessible over a network in order that they can be combined and reused in the production of business applications.[3] These services communicate with each other by passing data from one service to another, or by coordinating an activity between two or more services. SOA concepts are often seen as built upon, and evolving from older concepts of distributed computing[3][2] and modular programming.
    So SOA is not implemented for performances reason and it is more for integration.

  • Incompatible Security and Connection time out

    Ok, since installing leopard, I have not been able to connect to the stronger of my two wireless connections. The weak on, which is WPA connects fine, when I can get a strong enough signal. The second, WEP (I know, people say it's weak, but thats what I have.) But the password I put in, and it is the correct password, keeps saying that it is the wrong password when I do the "assist me" option.
    When I just try to connect using the drop down menu on the airport icon, it says "incompatible security" and once in a while, it will say "connection time out".
    I did a search, but none of the solutions here have worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because as a student I need the wireless connection for homework purposes, and I cant tolerate a weak connection.
    Please help

    Hi.
    I can't connect to WEP networks either with Leopard 10.5.1.
    It just says "incompatible Security". I've tried it for one hour without any luck.
    Why doesn't Apple realize that there are millions of WEP encrypted networks out there and that it is essential to be able to connect to them. (it worked with Tiger, didn't it?)
    Is there a knowledge base article out there what to do about it?
    I just can't walk to hotel managers and ask them to switch to WPA, especially if they don't have a clue how to do that and older windows computers won't be able to connect any more.
    Why a transparent menu bar but no way to connect to WEP networks?
    I'm very disappointed. Apple, fix this! (now!)
    Is there actually a way to get your money back for Leopard if this basic things don't work anymore?
    Thank you for any help.

  • Getting Connection Time out while connecting and with tnsping

    Hello Experts,

    TNS-12535: TNS:operation timed out
    I am stuck and don't know where else to check.
    Could you guys please help me out here?
    Thanks.

    That tnsping error indicates several possible problems, most related to the setup for the client. Or network setup on the database server host.
    Connecting to a database using sqlnet requires three things, the database host, the listener port, and the ORACLE_SID or instance SERVICE_NAME.
    The tnsping utility is only concerned with the first two items, host and port. It will not perform an actual connection, and will not verify the tnsalias ORACLE_SID or SERVICE_NAME values.
    An "OK" result from tnsping verifies that the specified host has a listener running at the specified port and it is servicing connections.
    Since you're not getting an "OK" from tnsping, could be something is blocking the connection (i.e. firewall), the host= specification is not correct, or the port= spec is not correct. Note that host= must either be a valid and correct hostname, or a an IPv4 address. If IPv6 is in the mix, only the correct hostname will work. A hostname that resolves correctly.
    Look at your network interface setup on the host, find its IP address, make sure the IP will `ping`, and try a new sqlnet.ora entry with the IPv4 address.
    ifconfig -a
    <interface>: flags=...
    inet n.n.n.n
    # in sqlnet.ora:
    xe2 = ... host=n.n.n.n ...
    tnsping xe2
    ... ok? ...

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
    Thanks again for the help.

    I am using itunes 10.5. Update didnt work on last software but restore did work. Help

    After two days of attempts, Google & Apple searches, one Apple post stated to turn off all firewalls and virus software and keep trying since there were 6 gazillion people trying to update.  I have Windows 7 & Kaspersky and had to diable every single safety feature in Kaspersky as well as Firewalls and it finally allowed the download and update attempt. 
    Glancing at the forum, there appears to be numerous other problems with missing pictures, text problems etc after the IOS5 download but fortuneately, everything seems ok so far.  Good luck, it is frustrating!  Hattie47

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 2
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
    Step 4
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 5
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 6
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.

  • I upgraded to 3.6.8 and now pages won't load, connection times out.

    I open Firefox on my desktop. Takes forever to load my google home page, or sometimes it says connection timed out. When I try to get to websites it either takes forever, or I get a message saying connection timed out, and/or the error message problem loading page. Has only started happening since I upgraded to 3.6.8. Have tried disabling add-ons but that didn't help. Nothing wrong with my internet connection. Use Windows XP

    Do you use McAfee Antivirus/Firewall/Security products? McAfee released a security update that is blocking Firefox 3.6.11. This should be cleared up with the next McAfee update.

  • Itunes update to firmware fails, because connection times out.

    I have been unsuccessfully attempting to update my iphone 3gs and ipad to iOS 5 for over a month now.  I have spent many, many hours on this, and many phone calls to apple support.  I disable Norton 360, and windows firewall, and my firewall on my router.  I've tried updating my router's firmware, which bricked the router--thanks apple for insisting this was the problem, and I have replaced the router, with a new one.  Itunes diagnostics gives me the following information.  I am using itunes as the administrator in Windows 7, 64 bit, although itunes doesn't recognize it, unless I reinstall it as the administrator, but then once I restart the computer, itunes no longer recognizes that I using Windows as an admin. 
    Also, the firmware cannot update, because the connection times out, despite all my firewalls, and antivirus being turned off.
    I've tried downloading iOS 5 and then updating using restore, but that didn't work.  I've poured through support forums, and error codes: I get 1611, etc.  Cannot seem to resolve this.
    Any ideas?

    I hae just created a message mapping and when I click on Test tab and load a payload in source and try to test the mapping , it gives me connection time out error from java...
    What could be wrong ? Mapping involves an XML to IDOC .
    Cheers,

    Hello,
    I think so (Experts, please correct me if I'm wrong). Before, we had a scenario in which the external definition was about 960kb. It really did post issues when testing in the message mapping itself. There are three options:
    a.) Use less detail in your sample message mapping, in this way you can correct the error in the mapping itself.
    or
    b.) Test in operation mapping, and then do the correction in message mapping afterwards. If the testing is successful, make sure that you don't click the drop down icon. Instead, export the result as a zip file and then extract it. (if this hangs, go for c)
    or
    c.) Test at runtime
    Hope this helps,
    Mark
