Internet connection lost with wired connection in hotel

I am in a NYC Hotel and was able to get an Internet connection on my MacBook (2 ghz intel core duo running 10.5.8) via the wifi network with extremely slow connection speed. They also offer Ethernet connection from the room so I tried that and got a very good connection upon restart. I was downloading content from the iTunes store and the connection was interrupted - Internet connection was lost. I tried redrafting again several times but to no avail. I went into network preferences and tried automatic location along with several others I have set up but cannot get it to re-connect. Built-in Ethernet is shown as connected and diagnostics shows Ethernet and network settings in green but ISP Internet and server are red. It configured using DHCP and IP address is 192.168.xx.xxx with subnet mask and router showing addresses as well. DNS Server is identical to IP address and Search Domains says "stayonline.net"
I have 2 other Ethernet connections showing on my locations that I believe are related to Parallels (some say Parallels Host-Guest & Parallels NAT and the others say Ethernet Adaptor (en2) & Ethernet Adaptor (en3)). I have tried making them inactive and re-starting but again to no avail. I don't know much about networking and just want to get my Internet connection working while I'm here. I am sending this from my iPhone and would appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks,
Allan

Sorry I meant restarting not redrafting (iPhone apparently doesn't like the word restart and changed it for me!)

Cannot connect to Internet wirelessly or with wired connection

Hi!
I have a wireless linksys router connected to a wired linksys router (for vonage). My PC is wired to the wireless router and works fine. My Powerbook G4 was working fine on the wireless network too.
Then, I decided to try to add an Airport Express just for streaming music (it is not wired to the wireless router). I have messed something up. Now, even with the AE unplugged, I can log onto the Linksys network, but the Internet connection does not work. Also, when I Turn Airport Off and wire directly into the router from my G4, I cannot use the Internet.
I've restarted everything I can think of. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sounds like you need to restart the modem and hard reset the Linksys router which is connected to it. Then reconfigure that Linksys router and verify connection (Ethernet and/or wireless). After you get that setup you can add the other devices.

Lost all wired connections on BEFW11S4

My wired and wireless connections have been working great, but I suddenly lost my wired connection. My PC is plugged into the router, but the router indicator light for the port does not light and the PC indicates that the local area connecrion is unlugged. I tried a different computer and got the same result. Restarting the router and rebooting the computer did not help. All four ports seem to be inoperative. My wireless connections still work fine. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

try to use another ethernet cable...

Connection Lost with keyboard

My PPC iMac G5 keeps saying "connection lost" with a keyboard displayed. The keyboard has new batteries, is paired, and connected. When this occurs no key on the keyboard will work. I can occasionally go to a text editor and get keys to work and then it's OK for a couple of minutes, then "connection lost" again. Does anyone have any thought as to what the problem might be?

Same problem here..
I have a Imac 27 also, OSX 10.6.7
The imac is about a year old..
Everything worked perfektly untill the FIRST BATTERY CHANGE.. (about 5 months after imac was bought )
the keyboard and the magic mouse is making a really hard time for me to do my work...
however, i had this issue for a while now, and apple dont wanna do anything about it..
butthe stranges thing is that,.. for about 3 months ago the magic mousestop doing the connection lost thingi..and works perfectly as normal..(strange)
and now only the keyboard is doing it (batteries in keyboard and mouse allways 100% when i talk about this issue)
so.. bougth an Imac.. everything worked fine.. after 5 months keyboard and mouse starting to flipout..
and about 4 months after that the mouse is fine but keyboard is till flipping out! ( without me making any changes )
Still apple dont seem to care about this...
However i recomend "The Lightbulb conspirisey" - Docymentry film.
It is clear to me that apple is still using PLANED OBSOLESENS in there products,,
and they have no intrest in making sustainable products...
Making economic profit is way more relevent on apples agenda then making sustainable products..
I thought i was paying alot of EXTRA money for the apple products to get the perfection i need..
But noo, they are just masking the usual "PLANED OBSOLESENS" wich is a KEY ingrediens for expanding industries.
And i am very sad that apple dont give a F**** about atcually caring about people. rather then screwing them over...

Your purchase could not be completed. Connection Lost. Cannot connect to Itunes Store.

About three months ago, I when I started playing Hay Day games, I could not purchase addional coins (in-game purchase) through Itunes store. When I purchased, I got this message "Your purchase could not be completed. Connection Lost. Cannot connect to Itunes Store", even I could buy other apps without having any problems. I gave up. About couple weeks later, even I did not do anything, the game started let me purchase coins games. That lasts for two months. Yesterday I have the problem again. Please advise. Thanks.

Well, since the error specifically directed you to contact iTunes Support, that would be the fastest way to get it resolved:

Can i use the airport express in my hotel with wired connection?

I'm going to be traveling quite a bit coming up and staying in hotels with wired internet connections in the room. Can i use the airport express to connect with the hotel's internet connection and then my ipad and/or iphone 4S? I'm new to Apple products so will certainly appreciate any info that may help. Thank you!

You will need to have AirPort Utility installed on the iPad and/or iPhone. It is free on the App Store
App Store - AirPort Utility
Connect the AirPort Express 802.11n to the hotel Ethernet jack using an Ethernet cable
Power up the AirPort Express and wait 40-45 seconds
Tap Settings, then tap Wi-Fi on the iPad
Tap the AirPort Express under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station
AirPort Utility will take a moment to to analyze the connection and then you can proceed with the easy guided setup
Once the AirPort Express is configured, you should not have to set it up again at the next hotel. But, you could if you want to.

How to setup WinME TCP with wired connection to WRT54G?

I have a WinME computer that I'm trying to connect directly (via network cable) to a WRT54G router. I have an XP computer connected directly to the router and another XP connected via a wireless router, but I can't seem to figure out the settings to get the internet connection on the WinME computer to work, though the network neighborhood is working fine. I tried before to get a wireless connection on the WinME computer, but was unsuccessful (same thing; the network neighborhood worked fine; tried the internet access fix with Winsock to no avail). Now that I've moved all of the computers together into the same room, I thought I would try again using a direct connection, but I can't remember what the settings are for the network TCP/IP protocol? Putting the router's IP address in the gateway block does not seem to do anything. I can't even remember where I found all of the info before.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm not using static addresses (except for the router). Here's the setup:
Internet Connection Type Static IP
Internet IP Address: . . . 206.183.182.233
Subnet Mask: . . . 255.255.255. 0
Gateway: . . . 206.183.182. 1
Static DNS 1: . . . 206.183.176. 2
Static DNS 2: . . . 216.168. 84. 2
Network Setup
Local IP Address: . . . 192.168. 5. 1
Subnet Mask: . . . 255.255.255. 0
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server: Enable
Starting IP Address . . . 192.168. 5.100
I've tried both IE and Firefox. I have tried using static IPs to no avail. What should the DNS and gateway settings on the WinME computer be?
Thanks!

Connection lost with DKU-2 USB cable for 6230

I got tired of trying to solve connectivity problems
with the bluetooth device and bought a new cable.
It seems that neither the Bluetooth or the Cable can transfer more than a few MegaBytes in one shot ("Connection to mobile phone lost").
I have upgraded to the newest 6230 firmware (05.35).
I'm Running Windows XP Home Edition SP2.
I don't think this is a PcSuite problem since this
error accurs when I use the usb drivers too.
Suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi onearmfrog
Did you let PC Suite 6.83 update over 6.82 or did you uninstall it and Nokia Connectivity Driver first? I think remnants are left behind unless it is done manually and PC Suite Cleaner is used to clean up computer first.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Actiontec MI424WR dropping wireless connection intermittently; wired connection works

I've had this router for about two years, with no issues.
Beginning on Saturday, our two laptops and phones began losing their connection to our wireless network, dropping the signal every 30 seconds or so. I tested the wired connection by plugging the laptops directly into the router, and both computers functioned properly - no issues connecting or staying connected. I have my Roku hard-wired to the router, and that also has had no issue, so it'd definitely a problem with the wireless signal to my devices.
Spoke to a CS rep, who had me first check the internet signal (green, blinking sporadically, which I was told indicated no issue with the connection), then had me reset the router and unplug. No dice. She said the internet signal seemed fine, and that "everything looked good on her end", whatever that means. They're sending a new router which I'll receive today or tomorrow, but I have trepidation.
Has anyone else had this issue? I saw alot of router issues on the forums, but wasn't sure if everyone was having this specific problem (just wireless connect issues).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This turns out to be good advice. I changed the channel on my router settings to 11 (per an earlier post on a different thread), and I haven't had an issue since. Here's the original post: "01-21-2011 11:32 AM that type of problem doesn't sound like a router issue, but instead sounds like a wireless transmission issue. you may be able to resolve that fairly easily.. Try to change the wireless signal. you can do that in the router. open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1, user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it. Once you login successfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security. then go to option 3 which is channel 1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try. So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply., after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6, test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work."

Internet connection lost with EA6500 router

I'm using a fiber optic internet connection and a Linksys/Cisco EA6500 router, with unlimited internet plan. Usually (1 to 2 days), the internet connection is lost and the way to get it back is the radical way in IT: 1st: switch off the modem and the router and wait a couple of minutes; 2nd : switch on the modem and the router. I suspect that this very annoying problem is related to the router settings. Someone can help me in get over this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Nuno

With this type of scenario, this will show that a reset on the router is needed to stabilize the router’s performance. One isolation step that you can try is to connect the computer straight to the modem. In that way, you will be able to determine if the connection coming from the modem is stable. Another step that you can try is to adjust the router’s mtu size by using this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=efe3edfeced9436a9f13eeebc89f90c2_4031.xml&pid=80&r.... By doing so, the router’s intermittent internet connection problem can be resolved. If in case that those steps will not improve the router’s internet connectivity, then you can consider returning and have that router replaced.

Repeated connection/ connection lost with BT on No...

Hi.
I use a Nokia 8800 (2 years old), Win XP SP3, newest PC Suite.
BT= Bluetooth is always on, supposed to sync when I come home (first connection!).
How come I see all minutes "connected=home...", minute later "disconnected home..."
This, I asume, is quite hard on the accu.
Anything I can do?
Thx,
Mike
Edit: what I found out: this more often happens with a self created *.nth Theme (I opened an original, just changed the screensaver and background image, and installed).
Is it possible that a changed theme has another "looking-for-bluetooth" behavior than the original??

I don't have a solution but feel for you as I am going through the same thing.
After over 20 years with BT, I moved to Sky because it seemed sensible as I was getting TV package and Broadband was cheaper. I can only get 3mb with both companies. With the roll out of BT Infinity in my area, I changed back and had this installed last week. Spped went up to 32mb, can't complain about that.
On day 4, modem and hub appeared to be working but could not connect wired or wireless, engineers attended on day 5, 6, and twice on day 7. All said that it was a problem with BT software on my account. I have spend HOURS on the telephone to BT over the past three days and they cannot find a solution to my problem. On day 6, I changed the email address in advance settings in the hub on their advice and managed to connect to the internet for 1hrs 45mins, before going down again. I have tried to connect several times today without success. I just don't know what the solution will be? What I do know is I have two teenagers that cannot use their xbox live accounts, one unhappy misses who cannot go on facebook and ebay and one daughter who is tomorrow and cannot use her club penguin membership she wanted as a present! Thanks BT

Problems with wired connection to WRT54G

my wireless download could hit 600KB/s constantly but when i am wired, download is at 1.8MB/s but it only lasts for 5seconds max then everything slows down to 1KB/s, anyone knows whats the problem?
cheers

The 4.30.7 version is located on the on the UK site. This is whats loaded on the new WRT54GL's shipped from the California warehouse.
4.30.5
4.30.7
If you are not comfortable with loading the .7 I included the link for .5
As for the slow down.... What is your connection? Cable or DSL? Does this happen at certain times during the day or all the time? Reason I ask is where I live is a new subdivision and more people are moving in. They are getting cable internet because I can see new networks popping up when I scan. During the day I get slow speeds as well but early morning and late at night everything goes back to normal. I really get slow when kids in the neighborhood have the day off from school.
I use port 65534 with Azureus. I port forward 65534 on my router and Azureus works as it should. I test my ports when I open or close them at ShieldsUp. When I test 65534 it tells me that it can not detect the port although its open because Azureues uses it to connect. I remove the port from forwarding and Azureues tells me there is an error and cant connect.

Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is niot an option on the router, select Local Connection Only. Wireless Configurations
Ensure the default (linksys) SSID name is changed. Ensure that different SSID names are used between each WiFi 2.4/5Ghz radios for dual band routers. Can be anything and not something that's already in use by any neighbouring WiFi routers.
What wireless modes are you using?
Try Mixed mode, single mode G or N or mixed G and N on 2.4Ghz and single mode N or Mixed on 5Ghz?
Channel Width set for Auto 20/40Mhz or try 20Mhz only.
Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

Connection lost with VPN enabled

I have a server with two NICs, one public internet and one domain intranet. I'm trying to configure this server as a NAT and VPN "edge" device. I am able to configure it as NAT-only, and everything works perfectly. All computers on the private
network have internet access through it, and I'm able to ping it from outside computers.
When I change my NAT service to a "NAT and VPN" service (using RRAS -> "configure and enable routing and remote access"), I lose the ability to ping that server from outside and when I try to connect to the VPN I get an error
"". It's like by configuring it as a VPN server it has blocked any kind of incoming connection, including those that it's designed for (VPN connections).
If I disable the Windows Firewall entirely, it starts working again. I've checked, and the Ping rule is allowed (the file/printer share echo one), and HTTPS/443 is as well (my VPN is a SSTP), so I don't understand why that would make a difference. Any thoughts
on why this might be happening?

Hello,
I've been putting together a new domain network, and just about have it set except for one final issue. I have a Remote Access server that I have configured for SSTP VPN. It has two NICs, one public/internet facing and the other private/intranet facing.
On the network I also have a DNS/DHCP/ADDS server and a NAT router server that has a different public internet connection and acts as the network's default gateway.
The issue I'm having is with configuring the VPN server's network adapter settings. I have two scenarios:
- configure private adapter with static IP address and manually entering the subnet/DNS (and leaving the gateway blank, since it also has a gateway on the public adapter). If I do this, then it won't let me configure a DHCP Relay Agent in RRAS, and although
I can connect to the VPN on a client, the client doesn't have internet access through the VPN.
- configure private adapter as "obtain an IP address automatically". If I do this, then the DHCP Relay Agent configures itself properly, but for some reason when I try to connect to the VPN from the client I get an "Error 0x8007274C: A connection
attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time..."
I tested a work-around where I set the VPN server's private adapter to static IP, connected the client to the VPN, then changed the server's private adapter to "Obtain automatically", let it re-identify, and it worked fine (I had internet access
on the client after that). Obviously, that's not a usable solution though. Any ideas why neither of these configurations work properly, or perhaps suggestions of a different configuration that might?

Best setup for new airport with wired connection to old airport extreme (4th gen)

I have an AirPort Extreme (4th gen) in my basement (of a three story house) connected directly to the Fios box (I am not using the Verizon g router). The new AirPort (ac) is connected to the old one by in-wall Cat 6e to an upstairs bedroom. Can/should I turn off wifi on the n router for best wireless performance? What would the optimal setup be?
On the airport utility I selected "replace existing Airport" and the new ac router is up and running and working fine. I wonder whether the fact that wifi on the old Airport is still on may be good for coverage around the house, but compromising the wireless bandwidth/speed? I haven't noticed any speed issues yet, but I do a lot of video streaming so I want to ensure I have the best setup. Range doesn't seem to be a major issue in my house. It is more important to me to have strong wifi signal upstairs.
Thanks in advance for advice.

If the AirPorts are connected using Ethernet, then no bandwidth is being lost on the network. Keep the wireless functions "on" at both AirPorts for additional wireless coverage and speed.
