Internet Connect freezes up; status "disconnecting" never ends.

Hello,
I use Earthlink dial-up service. Lately, when I try to connect, often the status will jump from "connecting" to "disconnecting". When in that status, it stays there; I can't re-connect. Logging off does not help. I have to restart.
Any ideas?

  • I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestion"hours now

    I rented a Movie and it has been loading for 3 hours now. Internet connection is fine. Have never had a problem with this before. What's really annoying is that the 24 hour time limit is counting down even though we cant watch it. Any suggestions?

    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Additionally, your 24 hours don't start until you begin to watch the movie, you have 30 days to start watching the movie.

  • Internet connection freezes since activation of iTunes wifi-sync

    Hi there!
    First off: iTunes wifi-sync is working great!
    ...but: since i activatet this option, my internet connection (over wifi) freezes after a few minutes. no matter if my iphone is actually syncing or not.
    only deactivating the wifi-sync will de-freeze my internet connection.

    Just noticed a typo: I moved FROM plugged into the middle of the network to the END of the network and then plugged into that base stations ethernet.

  • Internet connection after a time disconnects and must Reboot

    With excellent signal indicated, I am able to connect to the Internet with Firefox or IE. Then after a short time, I get an Error Message indicating it can't connect to selected URL, e.g., Google.com. I then have to ReBoot. I am using Linksys Router WRT54GC (Compact).

    hi , here is what you do....access the router using http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the password....;go to the wirelsss section and select channel 11..save settings....then go to the advanced wireless section and reduce the beacon interval to 50 and reduce the RTS and fragmentation threshold by 40 each....
    this will just increas the quality of your wireless signals....restart your PC and observe.

  • (Tutorial) Share your Internet connection

    Share my Internet access of the Wi-Fi via an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to another laptop/PC.
    Please follow the following steps:
    1.   Connect your shared laptop to another laptop/PC by using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable connecting to each other.
    2.At first, you’ll see both systems show the network is limited. It’s normal.
    3. In the system of the shared laptop, right-click the Wi-Fi icon and select Open Network and Sharing Centerto open its window. Then, click your Wi-Fi network.
    4. In Wi-Fi Status window, select Properties to open Wi-Fi Properties window.
    5. In Wi-Fi Propertieswindow, select Sharingtab and check Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connectionto share the Wi-Fi.
    6. Now another computer which connected to your shared laptop should automatically detect the connection to Internet.
    7. If another computer still shows the network is limited, please select Diagnosebutton to ask Windows for help and follow the instructions to fix the problem. Usually, the Windows will reset the Ethernet and re-detect the Internet connection again.
    8. Instruction ended.

    While turning cellular data off will keep your phone from connecting to cellular data WHEN wifi disconnects, it DOES not keep the Galaxy Note 3 from continually disconnecting from wifi. This only results in repeated periods of no data connectivity.
    Turning off cellular data does not fix the wifi stability issue on the Galaxy Note 3. It will simply connect to wifi for a time, drop connection, reestablish a new connection for a time, drop connection, etc... If you are using a data connection during the cycling period, your app will simply come back with a message that no data connection is available and to try again later.
    This is a major reason I have discontinued use of a Galaxy Note 3.

  • Is there a way to use the preview in browser function without an Internet connection?

    This morning our cable modem was down and I was making some changes to a page in a Muse site I'm designing. I wanted to preview the changes in a browser, but when I clicked on the Preview button (or clicked on preview in browser), I received a notification that it was checking for an Internet connection and the preview page never completed. Is there a way to use the preview in browser function in Muse without an Internet connection?

    Thanks for getting back to me! When our cable modem went down, we were still connected to Airport Base Station, and perhaps it appeared to Muse that we did have an Internet connection. In any case, we have now received a new cable modem and our network is working again. As you suggested, I disconnected from the network and tried preview in Muse again, and now it seems to be working just fine. Perhaps it was just the circumstances of our network problem this morning. Good to know I can use the Muse Preview function off-line!

  • UT acquisition never ends

    I have had thi issue in the past and
    TAC provided me a patch under bug id CSCtd49439 but I seem to
    have the same problem again
    I have this acquisition runnng since the 9th and it as never stopped and I don't know why it is showing 45855 hosts, the most we have less than 10000 hosts. Can anyone tell me what cuould be wrong with my server?
    I'm running LMS3.2 on Solaris 10.
    Acquisition status Running
    Acquisition type Major
    Acquisition start time 09 Oct 2010, 05:00:00 EDT
    Last Acquisition end time 08 Oct 2010, 07:44:01 EDT
    Number of acquisitions 1155
    Number of host entries 45855
    Number of duplicate MAC 21341
    Number of duplicate IP 89
    Number of CCM hosts 0
    Number of IP phone entries 0
    Last campus data collection completed at  11 Oct 2010, 12:14:33 EDT
    Campus data collection status  Idle

    A never-ending UT acquisition is not the same as the problem described by CSCtd49439.  That would also not account for an inflated number of end hosts.  Without knowing the exact details of the end hosts, I do know we had an old bug in Campus 4.x where UT would generate perpetual duplicates.  This was fixed in 4.0.11, but one would need to reinitialize the ANI database to remove the duplicates.  If this is an upgrade from LMS 2.6, then perhaps you still have old, stale data.  Running this command would fix that:
    NMSROOT/bin/perl NMSROOT/campus/bin/reintdb.pl -ut
    As for the never-ending UT, check to see if the UTMajorAcquisition process is still running.  If so, contact TAC, and they can walk you through the process to get a thread dump from this process.  That will help identify what the process is doing and whether or not this is some kind of deadlock, or a configuration issue.

  • Local mac-to-mac transfers goes through the internet connection (very slow)

    Transfering files from my iMac to my MacBook Air (or the opposite way) over my local Time Capsule wireless network is extremely slow. I connect to my MacBook Air using my local username account on that machine (which is the same as on the iMac). When I click on the connected MacBook Air again (under shared in Finder’s left column) it says I'm connected as [email protected] (my MobileMe address). Transfers then goes with around 50KB/s which is the same as my outbound capacity on my internet connection. If I disconnect the internet from the Time Capsule I get transfers around 2.2MB/s.
    I can’t actually log in as a local user on my other local machine. It goes through the internet no matter how I log in. Back To My Mac is even turned off on both machine.
    How can I fix this?

    You actually are close enough to their 3meg down that you can't complain. 2.8meg down and 700kb up is fine, unless it's supposed to be their FIOS that is.
    Sounds like it is the site(s) that are slow, like these boards at times.

  • Using internet connect menu extra in script

    Inspired by this post I was wondering if there was a similiar possibility for the internet connect menu extra. Something like:
    tell application "System Events" to tell the front menu bar of process "SystemUIServer"
    set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
    repeat with x from 1 to the length of menu_extras
    if item x of menu_extras is "internet connect menu extra" then exit repeat
    end repeat
    tell menu bar item x
    click
    click 2nd menu item of front menu
    end tell
    end tell
    This doesn't work as the "internet connect menu extra" bit isn't correct.
    PowerPC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thats very sweet. I was also wondering if there was a logical test I could use to check if bluetooth power was on or off, and also if the modem was connected.

    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.

  • The never ending Connecting to ISP mesage-but never happens

    For the last week I have had no problems with my Extreme base station which connects through Dial up and is extendeded by a Airport Express station to provide coverage to several of my families laptops. Today - I asked airport to connect like always (I dont have it configured for automatic dial) and while it began dialing like normal got stuck on the message connecting to ISP. Needless to say I have tried everything including resetting it, (which by the way is the only way I can stop the connecting to ISP message on Internet Connect) I have disconnected and turning every computer off as well as the express station and physically I reset the base station via paper clip and used the Airport assistant to set the base station up like new - but no dice. Everytime it dials (and I have actually picked up the phone to listen) it makes the call but when the message Connecting to ISP is displayed the phone goes silent and the computer is stuck displaying the scrolling message that it is connecting to the ISP. But NADA! Do you think my ISP or phone company changed something??? Could it be new firmare or airport software taking effect? Man if you have any ideas - please help.

    Well I got ahold of (AppleCare) - more specifically - Sean in Austin - a product specialist who took me through - tons of stuff annnnd - NADA - had to escalate it to engineering who probably won't be able to answer until Thursday. Interestingly we were able to hook up to a Apple Server without a problem but my ISP still gives the never ending "Connecting to ISP" message - later I called my ISP and they said if your able to connect the computer to there ISP but not the router - then it isnt there problem - its Apple.
    STUCK till Thursday without my EXTREME! REAK

  • My brand new mac pro always had Internet connection issues at school. WHY is that? I see the school's Internet working perfectly fine on other PC's, but there is never a day where my mac doesn't have Internet connection issues at school. How do I fix it?

    I got my mac pro in the middle of August. School started the week after. Internet was working perfectly fine at home. But at school, I never had a good connection. Sometimes on the good days I get a connection when I'm sitting at the exact spot in class I always sit at. It's ridiculous and it's frustrating. I invested my money into this laptop and I'm beginning to regret it. I thought it was the school's Internet, but I don't see Internet issues with other PC users. It's most frustrating on registration days and I'm trying to register for my classes before it gets taken, but again... Internet connection issues. It's random. Majority of the time, it doesn't work at all. I've done Network Diagnosis and turning WiFi off then turning it on again. I've done everything I could. I put my money on this laptop and it was a lot of money. I could have bought an 800 dollars laptop and I would have Internet connection anywhere on campus. So, I don't want to continue everyday to regret on buying this laptop every time I try to connect to the Internet at school or Starbucks or anywhere else. How do I fix this? What's the problem ?
    At school, I heard this guy had a problem with Internet connections too and he owned a new mac book pro. He said something like Apple messed up on something, but he fixed it. If I knew mac book pro's had these issues I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. It's freezing on me every other day. It's ridiculous. But what concerns me the most is the Internet connection. So someone please tell me what can I do next to prevent the problem? Am I doing something wrong maybe?

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm using an XLR input mic which is connected to the phantom power enabled XLR mic socket on a USB M-Audio M-Track. The M-Track is connected by USB to the Mac Pro - so effectively I've got an M-Audio USB soundcard with a mic input.  I've also tried a microphone that is a straight XLR to USB cable (guessing with some soundcard chip buried in the usb plug) but that also yields the same effect of bad latency, intermittent quality, stuttering and repeating and echoing (without the speakers on during record so its not feedback).
    The mic works absolutely fine with other recording applications I have on the mac at the moment - albeit non-adobe ones (tested it on the EasyAudioRecorder - and it lives up to its name. it's easy)
    I will try with Audition and report back, but sitting here right now I can imagine it would work fine with audition too - it just seems to be the way premiere is set up for recording into the timeline is a bit sketchy.  I'm willing to accept it might well be a quirk with the new Mac Pro trashcan - I'm not weighting all the woes on premiere.
    Any thoughts or am I out of luck to sit with my fingers crossed for a fix in the next round of updates?
    Nathan.

  • How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

    Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
    The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
    Thanks!!
    PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

    The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
    How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
    So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
    On the next tab where you set IP address.
    Click the renew IP address.
    It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
    What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
    In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

  • AE Flashing Amber (Status: Internet Connection) but Internet Green

    Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer.
    I'm on an AE with a Motorola SB6120 modem, paying for Comcast service.
    My AE worked fine two weeks ago when I was on Centurylink at another address.
    Problem:
    AE is flashing Amber.
    Status says "Internet Connection", yet...
    AirPort Utility tells me that Internet is Green. Plus, I'm typing this through my wifi/internet, so it appears I'm online.
    The other major issue is that none of my other wifi-capable devices can connect to my network. Only my MacBook. Not my iPhone, nor my wife's Dell laptop or Droid phone, nor my Nest thermostat. All can see the network, but none can connect to it. They either time out or, in the case of the Dell, say they can't find an IP address.
    I have factory reset the AE, unplugged and re-plugged everything in every order I can think of. I've shut down my computer a half dozen times.
    When I factory reset the AE, it was green/green for a moment, then went back to flashing Amber. At that point, it had two "Status" issues: Internet Connection and DNS Servers. I entered the DNS default: 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76. DNS "status" went away, but "internet connection" remains.
    When I click on the AE icon on the AirPort Utility, it gives the network name I chose, IP address is blank, the serial number is there and the version is 7.6.1. It lists one wireless client.
    If I drill deeper, the "internet" menu says I'm connected using DHCP. IPv4 Address is blank. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Router address is 192.168.100.1. I gave the DNS servers above, and IPv6 servers and domain name are blank.  On the wireless menu, the network mode is "create a wireless network", the network name is correct, it's WPA2 Personal security. On the "Network" menu, the Router Mode is "Off (Bridge Mode). All else is greyed out.
    If anyone can help, it would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I am at wits end, my wife cannot connect to our home network, and I am questioning why I bought an AE when every other router seems to work better.
    Many thanks.

    Not sure what you mean by default, as those are Google DNS addresses. The default would be to not enter anything and allow Comcast to provide them. In a perfect world Comcast would provide you with the fastest, most reliable DNS service, but that is often not the case, which is why there is OpenDNS, Google Public DNS, etc. In any case, that's not your current problem and now that you have that part working you can decide if that's what you need later.
    On the "Network" menu, the Router Mode is "Off (Bridge Mode). All else is greyed out.
    There's the problem. It should be "Share a public IP address". Bridge Mode just short circuits the router, which is why only one device is connecting.
