Is Verizon Blocking Streaming Devices?

I use Sony and Panasonic Blu-ray players to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and other services. Starting sometime over the weekend, both of these devices will not longer connect at all. They will not even pass a simple connection test. Both devices use wired connections. I connected my computer to both wires to test for Internet 45 jacks and cables are fine.
Is anyone else experinceing similar problems?

Yes, and Verizon will blatantly lie and say they are not throttling, but they are.

Logging into home remotely - is Verizon blocking incoming connection requests?

I'm trying to set up my computer at home so that I can access it from my in-laws, who are also FIOS customers and from my Android device via Sprint's network.   Both of these use SSH as the protocol, and on the theory that port 22 might be blocked, I set up the Actiontec to map an alternate port (1977) to port 22 on my server. My first attempt was to use the port forwarding capability in the router, but I have been unsuccessful in establishing a connection from outside my network.
I've tried configuring my server as the DMZ for the Actiontec, which makes me nervous, but I was running out of ideas. I even turned the firewall off on the PPoE connection but that didn't help either.
From outside my network, I can ping the WAN IP address assigned by Verizon to my router, so inbound ICMP packets are OK, at least as far as getting to the Actiontec
I can log onto my server while on my local network, but not from outside the network.
I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone know of a way to dump packets coming to the Actiontec so that I can tell if the inbound TCP packets make it to my router?
Does Verizon block inbound TCP requests for residential service? For all ports?
                                  Thanks for any info,
                            Joe H.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't have it working yet, but I was able to run a test that forwarded the port to my laptop and I see (via wireshark) the inbound connection. So, while I can log into my server locally, I must have some sort of firewall rule on that server that's preventing connections from the outside.
Verizon, I apologize for implying you were blocking.   This looks like a local issue on my end.

How do I get my Hifi streaming device to find my music on my Mac Pro?

I have just bought a Cyrus Stream XP for my hifi system.
All my music, both ripped and purchased as downloads, is stored in iTunes on my Mac Pro.
This is linked via an ethernet cable to a Sky broadband which provides my home network.
Cyrus recommend using the XP with a seperate NAS drive and network switching box for best results but it should also work with a wireless home network.
At this stage I don't really want to trail ethernet cabling over the gouse and Homeplug ethernet over mains will not work over surge protection which I have for both Mac and hifi at present.
I was told that as soon as I'd set up the streamer it would be able to find the wireless network and play all the music content that is stored on it.
Although the Cyrus unit is finding the wifi network and can get internet radio and play music from my iPhone, it hasn't been able to find my Mac Pro on the network.
I have checked file sharing in sharing preferences and within iTunes and both are set to share files on computers and devices on my local network.
I tried backing up my iTunes library to a portable HDD and plugging it into the usb port on the Stream XP but it was unable to read any content.
This is a bit weird as it should be reading the content without any problem.
I've even tried taking the individual music files out of the iTunes folder structure and just putting them onto the HDD but this couldn't be read either.
I'm at a loss and having tried the dealer I purchased it from, Apple support and Cyrus Tech support, nobody has come up with a solution.
Anyone else had any experience of using streaming devices on Hifi systems (ideally via wifi) that could help?

Sorted.
Basically (in case anyone cares!)
Cyrus XP won't read the files on the HDD as they are 64 bit.
Bought Netgear Powerline ethernet over mains & WD My Book Live.
Created a ethernet drive with the WD MBL and have copied all my music over to that.
Converted Apple Lossless & AIFF files to AAC.
Now plays all the music I've ripped & downloaded.
Next step is to identify a decent FLAC ripping program for Mac.

My Verizon wireless service at my house has begun to degrade over the last 6 Month. It has begun to be very frustrating seeing how we switched over from Satellite to Verizon 4GLTE wireless device. How do I contact someone to see what the issue may be. Zip Code 22580.

Out of curiosity how much data per month are you using? Another factor could be if neighbors have all done the same thing as you and the node is being overloaded on home internet use.

Stream Device Driver Development

Hai,
I am doing "Stream Device Driver" in "SunOs 5.8" Using "Forte C++ " Compiler. This Driver Type is Multiplexer.
My Coding is Over but i can compile my code. But I am not able Link the object file.
Compiler giving error is

Usb block special device not writable

This is a system programming / kernel level issue.
I'm doing some hardware development on Mac OS X. When I plug the USB device in question in, I get a message box like this: "Disk Insertion: The disk you inserted was not readable by the computer" with two options, Ignore and Eject. If I choose ignore, the USB device can be accessed via the block special device /dev/disk1. However, /dev/disk1 cannot be opened for writing, even as root: the open(2) call always fails with EACCESS.
A "diskutil info /dev/disk1" reports "Read Only: Yes." Could this be the issue? How does Mac OS decide to set this flag?
FYI, a userspace program that interacts with this device file has so far been ported successfully to Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. There's no read-only toggle switch on the device itself.
Thanks in advance for any info you may have.

Ok, I've managed to rebuild the IOUSBMassStorage kext from source, with DEBUG_LEVEL cranked way up. What follows is the syslog trace that comes right after plugging in the device. The first error we hit is kIOUSBPipeStalled, and then things finally snowball up to kIOReturnNotResponding. I'm no USB expert, but shouldn't a call to IOUSBPipe::ClearPipeStall(true) have been made pretty soon after the first error?

Saturday evening my i phone 4S stolen i wanted to block my device how to block it please help i did not have its IMEI number please help

Hi Everone i need your help.
Saturday evening my iphone 4S device stolen.now its show unavailable am going to lodge a complaint in near police station but the asked for IMEI number that i does not remember so what will i do it is possible to track it? if not so please tell me how to block the device?
Regards,

You can use the Find My iPhone feature on iCloud.com. That would need to have your 4s updated to iOS 6 and up to be able to track it and/or clear it. There are a thousand combinations to unlock the simple 4-pin password, so you still have time left to find your iPhone. For more information on how to use Find My iPhone, go to:

Verizon blocks ports?

I have DSL & Actiontec GT704-WG. I opened a port to host online game, but when I use a port scanner found here: http://www.canyouseeme.org/
It tells me my port is closed even though I forwarded everything correctly. Does verizon block any ports besides 80? I only use windows firewall so i know its not a firewall problem. Anyone with same router can help me?
Thanks
heres a snapshot of my router
http://i45.tinypic.com/105edd5.jpg

Verizon itself doesn't block ports at the head end besides port 25 for smtp outgoing email. they basically don't let spammers bounce messages off their smtp servers to send emails.   Port 80 is questionably blocked by region - I have seen a lot of users in the forums that have port 80 unblocked. and then sporadically a user forum member will say its blocked but most people say its unblocked now. VZ made that decision middle of last year.
The router that verizon provides has a firewall and like all firewalls it blocks a BUNCH of stuff. that's what firewalls do. it's kinda their gig.
If you port forward, try to use portforward.com for a good guide.
Basically this is stuff you probably know, but I'll recap just in case.
Set your pc to have it's own IP address   - you'll configure that on your PC nic settings under tcpip v4
then go into the router, and open the proper ports. I don't know what ports your game wants, but make sure the source port is set to any, and do not specify a number in that section.
make sure its pointed to the IP you gave your PC, and apply the changes and try again.
if that doesn't work there may be one or two users here that will pop up that may have additional info, but you can also reach out on the portforward.com forums and see if you can get some answers there,   DSL Tech support won't help with any port forward configurations. they consider it advanced and out of their boundaries.

How to block mobile devices connected to internal Wi-Fi networks on Lync 2013

How to block mobile devices connected to internal Wi-Fi networks on Lync 2013.
we don't have lyncdiscoverinternal.contoso.com and lyncdiscover.contoso.com in internal DNS record, all mobile users are connecting from Internet, and we want it to be that way.
So if I create the lyncdiscoverinternal.contoso.com record for Windows desktop clients autodiscover, how do I block internal mobile users from connecting to Lync??
Praveen | MCSE Messaging 2003

Hi Praveen,
Based on my experience, one way to achieve this purpose you need to use the Reverse Proxy that is integrate with a Firewall (e.g. TMG 2010 , F5, etc…).
Please have a look at the following picture.
In Lync Server 2013,
both the internal Mobility Service URL and the external Mobility Service URL are associated with the external Web Services FQDN.
From the above picture, if you use a reverse proxy that is
separate from the firewall, then the hairpin will be created,
and cause the mobile client which connected to the internal Wifi will be able to
access the external interface of the Reverse Proxy.
In this situation, the mobile client which from Internet will not be effected.
Best regards,
Eric

You have not replied in full.
Check here warranty status https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Check here for Hardware troubleshooting.
Regarding warranty and out-of-warranty services you already have answer. Verizon will help only if they sold the iPhone.
Incidentally in UAE
Technical support for iPhone in this region is provided by the carrier, not Apple.
So, Contact DU.

I had my iphone 4 s stolen, how can i block the device or wipe out its content?

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Help blocking smart devices from using VPN

Hello,
I am looking for a solution to block smart devices from connecting to our network via VPN. Our current VPN solution is ASA5520 and we are using Cisco ACS for user authentication. We use Cisco VPN client only, no anyconnect or SSL VPN.
Managment is looking for a way we can stop smart devices from using VPN clients to connect and only allow laptops/desktops to connect.
Does anyone have a way we can do this via ACS or another method?

Ok I will try it again but according to this documentation the type must match what is displayed in the show vpn-sessiondb remote, when I do that command all I see is type ipsec....nothing about iOS or client version numbers.:
version
version Identifies the device version via free-form strings, for example 7.0. A string
must match exactly its appearance in the show vpn-sessiondb remotedisplay, except that you can use the * character as a wildcard.

Blocking a device on a Stand Along Cisco AP

Hello all I have a device that is constantly trying to use some one else' credentials to authenticate and locking that persons account on one of the stand alone AP's. I went ahead and tried to block the MAC by using the MAC filter ACL on the AP but looks like it is still able to connect and send the authentication request. Is there a way to completely block this device?
Here is what I did:
conf t
access-list 700 deny xxxx.yyyy.xyz1 0000.0000.0000
dot11 association mac-list 700
end
wr mem
exit
Also when I do "show acces-list" I do show hits on the "deny" ACL.

Thank you yes that was one of the site I used to setup the ACL. Weird thing is that I did not see that device trying to associate in the logs however the ACL shows denies.
Bridge address access list 700
deny 1834.51af.a953 0000.0000.0000 (110 matches)
permit 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff (12 matches)
And looking at the ACS server I see the wrong authentication requests from this particular AP and the MAC address that is being denied.

Blocking one device?

I know this sounds **bleep**, but bear with me. I have no clue about any of this. Is there a way to block one device from using the wireless in my house? Let's say, hypothetically of course, that I want to block a certain adolescent's iPod from accessing the internet. Can I block just that device? Or is there a way to set up a password that everyone who uses the wireless would have to have?
Thanks in advance....

Yes to both questions.
1) If you want to block a specific device, you can use an advanced filter.
Click on the Advanced icon
Select Network Objects
Click Add. The Edit Network Object screen is displayed.
Enter a description such as "Blocked iPods".
Click Add again
Select MAC address from the pull-down.
Enter the MAC address of the iPod you want to block.
APPLY. The Network Objects screen is displayed.
Click ADD if you want to add another device to the rule, otherwise APPLY.
Click on the Firewall Settings icon.
Select Advanced Filtering from the menu on the left.
Under Output Rule Sets, Click ADD across from Wireless Access Point Rules
Add Advanced Filter screen is displayed.
From the Source Address field, select "Blocked iPods".
From the Operation radio button, select drop.
In the "When should this rule occur" pull-down, select Always or create a schedule.
APPLY
Click APPLY again.

Blocking the device

My BB 9300 had been stolen 2 days before. Is there any way that I could block the device so that noone else would be able to use it?? Is the "imei" code number for this reason?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have pre-installed an application like BBProtect or SmrtGuard, you can login and block, wipe or lock the device.
Your mobile provider can disable the SIM card and likewise can suspend or block the PIN and IMEI so that the device is unusable to another, however some providers will not suspend the IMEI, some will.
