Intermittent Connectivity of 2nd AE as client on AE Network
I have a Sony Centrino laptop, XP SP2. I set up an AE wireless network with WPA2 security absolutely no problem at all. I then tried to add a second AE to the network as a client to boost the signal in my bedroom and use AirTunes on my bedroom stereo. I had some problems initially setting the 2nd AE up as a client because I couldn't connect to it. This was eventually solved by using an ethernet cable and connecting to it directly. I got it all set up and configured and it seemed to be working fine. However when I moved it to the bedroom, although the status light was constant green, there seems to be no notable increase in signal strength and when using AirTunes, songs are only played intermittantly with a pause in play every couple of seconds. Can anyone help??
I had a similar problem with my itunes cutting out repeatedly. My eventual fix was to move both of my AEs so that there were no metal objects blocking their paths to my laptop. I had both initially positioned behind my two stereos, but once I moved them to the proper side, I was able to play my music with no interruptions.
Hope that helps...

How to connect a 2nd airport express in a home network?
I'm triying to connect a second airport express in my home network but when I plug in and go to Airpot Utility says :
"This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
I don't know what to do to get connect the second airport exprees?, Do I miss something ?You need AirPort Utility 5.6 to configure that model Express. The problem with that version is that Mountain Lion will refuse to let you install it.
This dilemma is easily solved. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
If you have an older computer with a version of AirPort Utility earlier than 6.0, you can administer it that way as well. -
DNS errors + Intermittent Connectivity Help
For the last 5 days my internet has had intermittent connectivity. It is throughout my entire home network of internet access. We have not had any storms or changes to our settings or connections for it to be anything on our network. This issue also happened in the past. Then after X amount of days, it was magically be fixed. When the internet does work, there are no issues and it works fine, which again makes me think it is not on our end and it is Verizon's fault.
When I check the system log of my modem, it has a TON of "DNS request timeouts" or errors saying some other stuff about DNS issues.
My modem/router is Actiontec GT704-WG, I also don't use Wireless internet which is usually related to intermittent connections but that shouldn't be the case.
So is this an issue with Verizon's lines/ servers / connections? Or is it actually something wrong with my network?It is probably a network issue, but the first step is usually to rule out the local equipment, so restarting the PC and the modem/router is a good starting point.
I have yet to come to encounter an ISP that competently manages their DNS equipment, and you will find a number of Verizon Techs who post here who will tell you to change from the Verizon automatically assigned DNS's to Open DNS.
visit www.opendns.com for detail instructions on how to do so. I changed to open DNS months ago.
So if you still have a problem after you have rebooted the equipment, and changed to OpenDNS, it is almost certainly a Verizon network issue, although convincing Verizon of that can be quite challenging.

Getting intermittent connection to internal resources from vpn remote connection
Hi there,
I have an intermittent issue happening on my company's firewall, and I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot further. I'm hoping someone can give me some tips or pointers in the right direction.
We recently made some changes to our network, which included moving an ASA 5505 from one location to another. In moving this we also connected it to a different switch. It used to hang off a Cisco 3560, and now it hangs off a ProCurve 5406zl.
The setup is that the ASA is connected on two ports to the HP, which is simply a layer 2 device sitting between the firewall and the uplink to our ISP. One port, e0/0, is the outside interface and is set to switchport access vlan 2. The second interface, e0/1, is set for vlan 1, also access mode. It has an IP of 10.0.0.2. The HP on the other end of that has an IP of 10.0.0.1. So outside VPN connections come through the HP to the ASA on e0/0, and back out the ASA on port e0/1 to reach devices on the internal network.
What happens is that when a user connects to the VPN, they can reach internal resources intermittently. For example, I tried to ping an internal server IP address (let's say 10.0.0.23) from my laptop, while on the VPN, and pings failed. However I could ping that IP from the ASA itself. Another example is that during one VPN connection I was unable to connect to an internal web server, but once I disconnected and connected ahain I could reach the server fine.
The intermittent nature of the problem made me think that it could be an ARP issue, that somehow the traffic is getting sent back out the wrong interface sometimes, hence the lack of communication. However when I did show switch mac-address | include mac address, using the base mac of the HP, I only saw the mac address of the HP on one interface, e0/1. That makes me think that things are working as they should. Although I guess maybe it should appear on both interfaces...? I don't know. Can anyone share some ideas of what the problem might be, or how I can most effectively troubleshoot this? It seems like the symptoms are indicative of some kind of rookie mistake, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is.
I appreciate your responses. Thanks.Hi Jeff, and thanks. I didn't change anything in the config actually. The IP ranges didn't change, nor did the IP of the ASA itself. In its old setting it hung off of an intermittent Cisco switch, let's say IP 10.100.0.25. There were two other switches that used VRRP with a shared IP of 10.100.10.1 and acted as the default gateway for all devices on the network, except the ASA. The gateway switches in turn used the ASA, 10.100.10.2, as the default gateway. So, internal traffic would flow through 10.100.0.1 unless it needed to access an external network, i.e. the WAN, in which case the switch at 10.100.10.1 would send the traffic to the ASA at 10.100.10.2. The ASA's default gateway was the public IP of our ISP.
In the change we moved from using a Cisco core to an HP core, so the ASA was moved to hang directly off the HP. The HP was re-IP'd as 10.100.10.1, the ASA stayed the same. I didn't change any configuration on the ASA, and the only thing did to the HP was to change it's default gateway to point to the ASA (same as the old setup), and set the ports for the different vlans.
What I've also found is that at times once I establish a vpn connection I cannot even ping the connected HP switch from my client machine, but I can ping it from the ASA. If I disconnect from the vpn and try again, it may work. Here's some output based on commands in this link,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_tech_note09186a00807c35e7.shtml#s1. For this command I am attempting to first ping 10.100.10.1 (the HP switch) and then ssh to it.

MacBookPro intermittent connectivity with AE/Internet alongside XP/Vista
My family has 3 laptops: 1x Dell (XP), 1x Toshiba (Vista) and MacBook Pro (OSX10.5.6) using my home wireless network: Airport Express connected to VirginMedia Router to internet. Only Mac has intermittent problems:
- All 3 laptops individually have no problems connecting to internet;
- All 3 can simultaneously be on the internet streaming online media;
- However, only Mac has intermittent connection problems;
- The XP/Vista laptops connectivity is faultless, unaffected when Mac is first connected to or using the AE/internet;
- If my Mac is already connected to AE/internet, then connecting XP/Vista laptop will interrupt Mac connection;
- Turning the Airport-client off/on sometimes temporarily re-connects, or once in a while Mac auto-connects for a few mins, but reconnection is not maintained for more than a few minutes, whether internet in use or not;
- Mac alone will remain on internet happily indefinitely if neither XP/Vista laptop are connected;
- I have tried fixes suggested in the forums, such as renewing/lengthening DHCP lease, using DHCP and hard IP addresses, different AE wireless frequencies, removing wireless phones, updating Airport software to latest, turning IPv6 off, etc.
- This issue arises even when all 3 laptops are used in same room, less than 10m line-of-sight from AE.
Any ideas how I can force my Mac to stay connected to AE/Internet and not let my XP/Vista family members win the contest of reliable connectivity?
Yours, the embarassed of the family.Thanks for the first two replies.
1. Norton and AVG antivirus ran last night. No problems. Spybot also was run. So I don't think the problem is related to Arun's ideas.
2. I have a MI424WR Verizon router. The WAN light is on solid green, all the time. The Internet light flashes.
The router is fed by coax.
I dont know what bit torrent is. Computer 2 is only used for Pogo on line simple stupid gaming (I am whining about wife's activities). My Computer 1 is only used for ebay and simple web activities.
I tried resetting the router once today...helped nothing.
Just now I could not get connected via shortcuts. BUT---I can always get on line through Outlook Express. And I got here via an email link.

WRT610N - intermittent wireless access for all wireless clients; standard fixes don't work
My network had been working fine for over a year, and now I'm getting intermittent wireless access. Everything will be ok for a day or two, and then all of a sudden nothing wireless will work (the wired computer will still work): 1 Vista desktop, 1 vista laptop, 1 XP laptop, wireless printer, and iPod touches.
Vista computers will either say "the network has denied the association request" or the "network key is incorrect" (it isn't). On XP computers, I can get to the point where the computer is trying to acquire an IP address, but it just times out.
So far:
- Made sure signal strength is good (most have full bars)
- Upgraded firmware (worked for 2 days)
- Made sure all drivers were up to date
- Changed the broadcast channel (most recent fix, everything worked for 2 days)
I've never had default configurations; my SSID was enabled and set up from the beginning. I recently moved from WEP to WPA because a new Vista laptop refused to work with WEP. The clients do not pick up any other network signals from neighbors.
A router reboot sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Like everything else I've done, if it works, if it's for a day or so.
Everything worked for a year until about 2 weeks ago (a week after I switched from WEP to WPA - coincidence?).After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

Connecting a 2nd laptop to wireless router
Hi, Everyone - I have my Mac desktop connected to a WRT54GS wireless router, as well as a Dell laptop connected. All is working fine up till now...
Now I'm trying to connect a 2nd Dell laptop but can't get it to connect! It detects the network, but when you click on "connect" it says "acquiring connection" but then it gives an error saying something about limited access. It is a secured network, BTW.
How can I get this 2nd computer connected?
I also noticed something called "Default Tx Key" which is set to 1 - this key is what the 1st laptop is using. How do I get the 2nd one to be available - if I click on #2 for the default key, it disables #1.
What do I need to do?!! Thanks so much!use the same key for ALL wireless devices, it is a shared key. so the key for #1 is used on ALL of the laptops.

How do I connect my 2nd generation Ipod to a Firewire 800 port on a new laptop? It no longer holds a charge and it doesn't power up with the newer generation USB cable. The only way I can sync my Itunes library onto this Ipod is when it is powered and connected simultaneously. Pls help.

Very Strange AFP/SMB file service issue, slow, intermittent connections.
There's a bit of a saga to this, so please stay with me.
X-Serve G5, first loaded with 10.3.2, and over 2 years upgraded to 10.3.9. All the server has ever done is be a standalone file server to Mac only. There is no AD/OD intergration, or any fancy stuff about it, its just a dumb file server, serving Macs.
Recently we decided to put in a larger raid, and some new G5's, both PPC and Intel, and upgrade all the other G5's to 10.4. At the same time we thought we'd upgrade teh server OS to 10.4, so we had a full 10.4 site.
All updates went well, apart from the server. As soon as we started running 10.4 the server connections were really slow, and basically unworkable. I came on here and found little tweaks to do as other users were having similar problems, but with much more complex set-ups. The most puzzling thing was the apparent local caching issue.
If i copy a 50mg file/folder via either afp or smb, whatever happens the first time is longer, eg 1st 43s, 2nd 2sec, 3rd 2sec,, then re-boot, and its back to the same thing. If you disconnect, and secure empty trash you get the same thing.
Maybe more of an eye opener is a 110mb file/folder, 1st 75Sec, 2nd 38Sec, 3rd 32Sec.
Now i've given up and done a clean istall back to 10.3.9 on a seperate partition, and its instantly quicker in everything. eg. 50MB 1st AFP 5 Sec, 2nd AFP 5 Sec, 3rd SMB, 5 Sec, 110MB 1st AFP 9 Sec, 2nd AFP 9 Sec.
So i've fixed it, but by having to retrograde the OS back to 10.3.9. We don't use apple talk, only IP, we have no network issues, and spanning tree, etc, can't be the issue as it only affect appletalk!.
If i get a minute i'll do a clean install on 10.4, to see if the problem was the upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4..
Just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience, ot hoping that it may help someone in a similar situation. All i can think is maybe ACL's were the issue, or a newer/different version of AFP.
The new raid system showed the same throughput/connection speed on both OS', and the same network load, etc, is also on both OS', they were also not maxxed out, and the afp daemon wasn't eating CPU.Retrograded back to 10.3.9, all works fine now!?!?!?!?

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I own 2 fifth generation ipods and i am just now trying to connect my 2nd one. my computer recognizes the new ipod hardware but asks to install software. I did all this when I conected my first ipod 2 years ago! Why would it not just automatically sync or connect with itunes? How do you add another ipod to the same computer?
Is Windows telling you to install the software or is iTunes?

HI,
I have a Mac Pro, circa Dec 07 (therefore no mini display port) and currently use a 23" cinema display. I want to attach another identical display and assume I can do this via the other (spare) DVI port at the back of the Mac?
However, my main monitor has the firewire and USB cables plugged into the tower which come cabled along with the DVI cable, but when connecting the 2nd display can I just connect the DVI cable into the Mac Pro and not bother with the firewire and USB cable which are bound with it?
Obviously I understand that using the firewire and USB cable from the first display increases my available ports (at the rear of the first display)... but do I really need to connect those with the 2nd display, because I'm running out of ports at the back of the Mac!
Hope that makes sense...
Thanks,
MarkOne thing that's occured to me, somebody might know...
I calibrate my main monitor, so when the second display is either being mirrored, or just an extension of the desktop, I guess the existing calibration is sufficient as the main display calls the shots?
Or am I wrong, should both be calibrated as separate displays prior to using them together?
Thanks to anybody who can help...
