Internet Connection off when Laptop Lid Closes

Hi. I just bought my first Mac. A macbook pro. I like to leave my AIM or Ichat on but would like to close the lid to my laptop. Everytime I do, it logs me off. I think this is because of the sleep function. Is there a way to configure so that it doesnt lose my internet everytime???

nope, it is a physical hardware switch that disables the internet when the lid is closed. the only way to disable it is to use your computer in clamshell mode, which means you need an exteral moniter, keyboard, and mouse

Re-establish internet connection after restarting laptop

I have a wireless router (WRT54G) and to make an internet connection to my laptop I must use a cord and establish the connection, then that cord is removed. However, I must do this everytime I turn my computer on/off or restart it. When I first purchased the laptop, router, and adapter I only had to establish the connection once and had no problems with connecting to the internet even after I restarted my laptop. What is wrong that I must re-establish the connection with each restart?

okay... hardwire the computer directly to the router, logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" (default password) as a password without any username…click on wireless tab and try changing wireless channel to 11, click on advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304… make sure that you have latest firmware installed on the router… also tell me the model and version no. of the adapter that you have and OS on computer…

[SOLVED] Laptop Lid Close

I've been using arch on my laptop for a while now and have been having problems when I close the lid on my laptop. What I want my a laptop to do is nothing except simply turn the screen off when the lid is shut. However, at the moment when I close the lid, it doesn't suspend or sleep or anything, the screen turns off, but when I open the lid, I am presented with a black screen(lit up). I have to turn my laptop on and off to use it again, or change tty and then restart the x-screen. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
I'm using acpid to handle the event and in the /etc/systemd/logind.conf I have only the following line uncommented:
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
Which to my understanding should prevent systemd from controlling the event yes?
And at the moment I currently have the default acpi setup,
so the anything event:
# Pass all events to our one handler script
event=.*
action=/etc/acpi/handler.sh %e
And the following hander.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions

Hi,
Please try the following.
1. Open an internet browser type printer's IP address.
2. Should bring you to the printer's status page.
3. Select the networking tab at the top.
4. Left hand side select IPv4 under wireless.
5. Under DNS address Configuration select Manual DNS Server.
6. For Preferred enter 8.8.8.8
7. For Alternate enter 8.8.4.4
8. Select apply. You might get a warning saying this could interrupt connection that's fine.
9. Turn printer off for about 30 seconds then try again.

Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Restart your IPad. Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Internet connection lost when restarting the computer

Hello everyone.
I live in Denmark, and 6 days ago I bought a new TOSHIBA pc: a Sattelite L855D-100. From the very start there has been a problem with the wireless internet connection. When I restart the pc, the internet connection is gone afterwards, and I am not able to re-establish the connection in any possible way. I have to shut down the pc - wait a few seconds - and then start the pc in 'normal' way. Then the wireless internet connection is okay.
But the problem is the same every time I restart the pc.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
I thank You in advance for Your help and advice.
Best regards Svend in Copenhagen.

Satellite L855D-100 (PSKAYE-003004DU) <- Netherlands version
A brand new computer should work right off the shelf, Svend.
I would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media just once. And then return it for a new one if things are still not working right.
See the section System Recovery, which begins on p. 4-16 of the User's Manual (attached).

[SOLVED] Power button and laptop lid close rules not followed (KDE)

I'm using KDE 4.9.1, and the rules I set for the power button and lid close events in the KDE power management settings are not followed.
Currently, I have the power button press event set to trigger hibernation, and the lid close event set to turn off the display. Instead, the power button causes the laptop to power down immediately, as if the 'poweroff' command was issued. Closing the lid causes the system to suspend to ram.
This problem seemed to have started when I installed 'laptop-mode-tools' and 'acpid'. The problem persisted even when I uninstalled the said packages from the system. Most solutions on the internet involve adjusting the contents of files in /etc/acpi/, but that directory does not exist on my system. I also tried deleting the power management configuration files in the ~/.kde4/share/config directory, but that didn't fix the problem either.
Hibernation works if I choose 'hibernate' from the KDE menu.
Thanks for any help.

That's not a good solution.
Changes in systemd default behaviour are reasonable. It guarantees that if your graphical enviroment has no suspend support, it will still suspend when the lid is closed.
For example, closing the laptop lid at KDM login screen will now suspend the laptop. I remember a topic when someone nearly killed his notebook battery with overheat in that situation (the laptop did not suspend when the lid was closed at kdm screen).
This change also brings native (non-acpid) suspend support to lighweight desktop enviroments.
The source of the «double suspend» problem is in acynchronized update of systemd and KDE.
Updating KDE to 4.9.2 (which will be released in several days) will fix this without editing the config file.
Make sure you restore the original logind.conf after updating to KDE 4.9.2.

Gnome3: Cannot set laptop lid close action

I've checked the lid closing sensor with watch /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state and the status changes without problems, but i can't set the lid closing action in gnome-tweak-tool or under power options. The laptop suspends only when an external monitor is not connected, i want to change it so it always suspends when the lid is closed.
How can I fix this?

Seems to be a bug in gnome, gnome-tweak-tool outputs the following messages:
INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (key lid-close-battery-action)
INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (key lid-close-ac-action)
INFO : GSettings missing key org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (key lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor)
I added the keys manually to the schema but gnome-tweak-tool show this error when i try to start it with the new keys:
GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power' does not contain a key named 'lid-close-battery-action'
There are more people having a similar problem.

Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

Hi,
I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
Dave

I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

FF will not hold internet connection settings when closed

Since upgrading to FF4 and subsequently to FF5:
Each day, after booting my system and starting FF, I have to go i nto preferences to reset the internet connection to 'no proxy'. FF defaults to a manual proxy config when closed. The network connection setting of 'no proxy' just won't hold when FF closes.

Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Network connection OK but Internet connection lost on laptop

I successfully installed 10.6 on my desktop first. Although I was connected to the network, I had no Internet connection. I fiddled around and did something that fixed the problem (not sure what). Then I installed on my laptop (family pack) and had the same problem: network connection OK, Internet connection not OK. Fiddled some more, but no joy. I've spent hours trying to get to the bottom of this, to no avail. Ran disk utility and network utility just for the heck of it. Anyone know what setting must have changed to knock off my lap top Internet connection? (I have Airport and WiFi through AT&T U-verse.)

In my case the DNS address is greyed out so I cannot select it. What worked for me - occasionally - is changing the Network location to 'Automatic'. I had it set on a custom setting. Unfortunately this is sporadic. It will start to display content then just stops. I can jump-start it by fiddling with location but not always. The Airport range seems to be reduced too but I think that is just the flakiness of the connection.

Airprt Extreme internet connection disconnects when i restart/shutdown

I have just installed an airport extreme card into my G5. After going through the system preferences/network/seup assistant and successfully connecting to the internet. the whole thing resets when i turn the computer off or restart. The network status shows "airport on but not connected". To reconnect i have to go back into the system prefernces and set up assistant and put the pass word in again. This is obviously most anoying. any ideas? I have tried using the internet connect by way of the status bar but it will not recognise the password.

hi David!
good lord ...
some reports of experiences (not with this precise problem, though) suggest trying the following in an experimental manner.
(1) can you maintain a connection when your antiviral packages are disabled?
(2) can you maintain a connection when your antispyware packages are disabled?
(3) can you maintain a connection when your firewalls are disabled?
(4) can you maintain a connection when some of the above things are tried at once?
(5) can you maintain a connection when all of the above things are tried at once?
keep us posted ...
love, b
