Lion iChat server - router keeps disconnecting/reconnecting

I have an issue with the iChat server in Lion. While it generally works for logging in, presence and sending messages to users, there appears to be an issue with the Rooms component and the jabberd router. From system.log:

This repeats over and over, quite frequently. Any good jabberd gurus know where I should look? I checked out the router.xml but nothing stood out as obvious.

Had a similar thing just now with Mountain Lion (after much trouble post the Server 2.2 update) where the hash in these files eg
/Library/Server/Messages/Config/jabberd/c2s.xml
        
        <user>jabberd</user>
        
        <pass>HASHED_SECRET</pass>
/Library/Server/Messages/Config/jabberd/router.xml
        <secret>HASHED_SECRET</secret>
and others in that folder all matched, but they mismatched with info in these plists…
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print secret" /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Proxy65.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print password" /Library/Server/Messages/Config/Rooms.plist
set those with eg
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Set secret HASHED_SECRET' /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Proxy65.plist
(use single quotes so the various hash characters like * and ! etc work)
After that and an off/on of messages, the syslog improved and after a reboot went totally stable (wrt jabber anyway!)

Why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

Same problem here. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting indefinitely. This does not started immediately after IO7 upgrade and it does not happen all the time. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Very frustrating. So far no solution found.

Wireless router keeps disconnecting...

Hello there,
I own a Linksys Wireless Router (BERW11S4). I recently updated it's firmware to the latest version (1.52.02) which supports WPA-PSK (TKIP).
I have set the group renewal interval of 7200 seconds, which is the max the software will accept.
My problem is after a certain period, it keeps disconnecting, which i believe is because of the group renewal interval, which can't be turned off. How do I eliminate this problem as it is really annoying to keep re-connecting half-way everytime?
Thanks in advance.

still disconnecting every hour and then...
please help. im so frustrated.
any other settings i should try?
or solution?

USB 3.0 port seems to be VERY loose / flimsy (everything keeps disconnecting / reconnecting)

Just like the title says: my USB 3.0 port seems to be very touchy...even the slightest nudge of whatever's plugged in will cause it to play the device-disconnected chime (but then nearly immediately play the device-reconnected chime).
Is this a known issue?
And what do I do to fix? I assume it's a HARDWARE rather than a software problem, because it's a physical nudge that seems to prompt the disconnect/reconnect...so is this something that i'll need to open my computer to fix? It's not under warranty anymore...

Hi there @BarryKatz1
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you have an intermittent USB connection and that the connector seems loose. I am happy to help, and as you surmise, this is more of a hardware issue.
I certainly feel your pain, I have a notebook that my young son pulled down (more than once) and each time I lost a USB port due to damage, and of the three I had on that notebook, only one still functions.
The port is a part of the notebook's mainboard, so the main remedy is a board replacement. You will find the part and part numbers in the service guide, on page 25 of 81.
HP Spectre 13 Pro Ultrabook and HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook Maintenance and Service Guide
About the only other thing you can try is a new USB cable for the device, just in case the problem is more cable related.
I hope this helps.

PitneyBowes print server keeps disconnecting-reconnecting

Hi
We have 3 pitney bowes printers with integrated printservers. From the
server console monitor I can see the printservers disconnecting and
reconnecting every 2 minutes or less. This causes problems like print job
not printing or large print jobs getting cut and restart printing again
and again.
We also have 2 HP jetdirect printservers which are not disconnecting and
are working fine.
We are running Netware 5.1 SP4. I tried deleting and recreating the print
queues and printservers with no success. I also tried a dsrepair and
vrepair.
any help appreciated
thanks
Jean-Sebastien Gagnon

Problem is solved. The printers needed a firmware upgrade and a reset to
factory defaults.

BEFW11S4 v4 Keeps disconnecting / reconnecting

I know, this is an old model, and some people recommend upgrading this router, but I don't really want to for a minor problem like this.
So my problem is that I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 v4 router. Every now and then my internet will disconnect then then instantly (or almost instantly) reconnect. This is a pain when I am downloading large files or even chatting with friends and such on MSN/AIM. Now I'm not sure if this is a computer problem or a router or a modem problem. I'm just wondering if there is anyone here knows a solution to possibly fix this.
Other information
Windows XP SP3
Firmware: 1.50.14
Comcast Cable Internet (8Mbps download/768kbps upload) with power boost
Motorola SB5120 Cable Modem
(Edited subject to keep threads from stretching. Thanks!)

Yup, I just came back to give an update. After looking in this forum today I decided to have another look at the router tonight. I upgraded the firmware (I updated it a long time ago but it kept crashing with streaming media - a known problem - and I reverted to the older firmware at that time. I'll have to do some testing to see if I experience problems with streaming media) and then I reset it to factory configuration and started from scratch. Like I said, I'll have to do some testing with streaming media but the connection is definitely more solid so far.

IChat Screen Sharing Keeps Disconnecting

I recently bought my first Mac and not so good with all the tech talk but I'll try my best. So I was trying to do Screen Share via iChat with a friend who has a 24" iMac with Mac OS X Leopard. I have a 13" MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Version 10.6.4. Anyways we have tried to connect both ways, screen sharing her's and mine and it doesn't work. It'll disconnect after about 2 seconds, I can hear the audio sometimes and it'll say "Screen Sharing with ____" and then disconnect. I have screen sharing enabled. I don't know if it has anything to do with my router but I'm with Verizon and they provide my wi-fi. I just checked the error log and it says no errors. Thanks to all who try to help me out.

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
Since the original Post some info came to light that certain ISPs do not seem to allow VNC conncetions. (his/her ISP Verzion is one of these)
iChat Screen Share is made up of two parts.
An Screen Share over the VNC Protocol and an Audio Chat alongside.
As Audio Only chats and Video Chats use the same ports then if you cannot Video or Audio Only chat then Screen Sharing also will not work.
If the Audio part fails then most likely you will get the Pop Up.
I have also seen the Pop up show up if one end has not set the Screen Share Enabled item in the Video Menu (Selecting this toggles the tick On and Off and it has to be ticked).
If a person has Not turned On Screen Sharing then can in fact start the Screen Share as long as they are only sharing Their Screen. (They can not ask to see the Buddy's Screen - nor can the Buddy Start the Screen Sharing).
DOS or SPI will be in the router.
Some devices have it as separate items.
For Instance on a Netgear device it is in the WAN set up page in the menu down the left.
Same for Sagems
Some include it in the firewall.
In this case an Example would be a Netopia which has a 4 level firewall in which High and Medium has both SPI and DOS.
Also a Linksys (on those that have a firewall option in the Security page) have SPI and DOS in the firewall but little info on the screen or in help to tell you

Linksys WRT54GS Wireless Router keeps disconnected

Hi, My wireless router WRT54GS keeps on disconnecting without any reason. I have also changed the channel to 11 but still the same issue. It connects for 1 minute and then it stops working even though the signal says "excellent strength" and all the bars are green.

Hmm. I seem to be having a similar problem (see my thread). Check the cable that is pulugged into the back of the computer. That is where my problem lies. The computer doesn't seem to be reading it. If i get some info, ill help you.
EDIT:You have to check the IP address of the computer connected to router. If you are getting an IP of 169.254.x.x, then the router might be defective.

My router keeps disconnecting

And when i try to connect it says "Not connected" but i have internet?..

I have been having the same problem for a few months. I recently replaced my 54G router with a 150N and updated the drivers for my wireless card on my Dell laptop and it now works but I also have an IBM laptop that still connects but says it is not connected. It only stays connected for a short time then disconnectes and I must reconnect manually. Then the process repeats. This is what my Dell had been doing. I can't figure out why one is now working and the other is not. The Dell is the main pc.
I am using mac filtering but have been before the problem started.
Thanks for any ideas or help with this.

Cannot record; Microphone keeps disconnecting & reconnecting in split second. Help!

Hi,
I was trying to record something and I noticed that my recording was interrupted after each consecutive 17 seconds. The recording fades away and fades back in during the interrupt. It is very annoying because the recording is not fluent; specially when recording music.
I tried the virtual expert, it didn't help. I also factory reseted my mobile and then again, same result. Could someone suggest me another alternative so I can get this fixed?
Thank you for your time!

Hello negatron. Having a WiFi connection that just drops and reconnects can get very annoying, so let's see what we can do to help your phone maintain a steadier connection. Outside of everything that you have done, the other recommendation would be to attempt changing the broadcast type. If you have a router that sends out a mixed B,G,N network, try changing it so it only sends out in N mode, or B & G only. This may help your phone maintain a steadier connection to your home network. Also, make sure that your router's firmware is also up to date as well!
Let us know if this helps out, Negatron!

...and how i get it to stop happening?
i haven't changed anything with my network settings that i can think of.

Hi,
If you mean you don't want to Disable SSL you need to know that when the AIM SSL server Fails, iChat resorts to a NON SSL login and iChat has to be Manually reset to use SSL when the server comes back on Line. It does not happen automatically.
If you mean it did not work then also try deleting com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and restart iChat so it is recreated.
The file is found in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences.

Windows 7 keeps freezing, disconnecting/reconnecting USB devices

Last week, a lightning strike near where I live caused a power surge and as a result, my ethernet card was fried. I took my computer (iMac) to a store to have it repaired, and they wound up replacing the entire motherboard (a bit extreme in my opinion, but what do I know).
When I got it back today, sure the ethernet problem was solved, but I noticed that my taskbar was acting weird - specifically the icons in the notification tray. Lots of them were "blank", meaning there were just empty spaces that would highlight when I hovered the cursor over them, but nothing happened when I clicked them.
Then I discovered that clicking any of the icons in the notification tray almost immediately froze the computer. Frozen, as in completely unresponsive to the point where my only option was to manually shut off the computer. That happened twice.
My solution was to reboot in safe mode and run system restore to an earlier point. That fixed the notification tray problem (no more freezing, and the icons were all back), but the computer still keeps freezing at random intervals. Again, my only solution is to manually shut it off by holding down the power button, which I hate doing because I know it's bad for the hard drive. Sometimes it froze as soon as the welcome screen. I tried running a virus scan, but again it froze in the middle of the process.
On top of the constant freezing, it keeps disconnecting/reconnecting my usb devices. My mouse and keyboard will suddenly drop out for five seconds and then start working again. This constantly happens, to the tune of several "disconnect" sounds playing over the speakers.
What the heck is going on? I tried re-installing the Boot Camp drivers, but that didn't work. I have my Windows 7 CD and backed up files, so if worse comes to worst I can do a clean install of Windows, but I'd rather not have to spend a day re-building my computer, and I'd REALLY rather not take it back in for another repair, since that took a week and I need this for my work.
Any ideas on what I should do? I'm out of town on my laptop for the weekend, and I'd like to have a game plan for when I get back.

I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
a networked desktop via the wire.
One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

Linksys WRT120N Keeps disconnecting

Greetings everyone!
Well, my problem is that my Cisco Linksys WRT120N router keeps disconnecting, my family and me are all using the wireless connection. But sometimes the router just disconnect us all, its like its restarting, it only close down for like 5 - 10 secounds and then its back on. Sometimes it does it like every secound hour and sometimes it does it 3 times in 10 min. I usually play games on it and even tho I am the only one using it, it still disconnects.
We got 2 wireless cameras running on a secound router that is merged (Thats what the nerd that setted it up for us told me) with the primary existing router. I am not really that good at computer I just dont want to get disconnected all the time.
Have a really good weekend and take care!

Hi there,
If this is true on both wired and wireless connection, isolate the concern by connecting your computer to the modem directly. Observe the connection while connected to the modem. If the connection is unstable behind the modem, you need to contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to fix the issue. If the connection is fine on the modem, reset and reconfigure the router. If the problem is present only on the wireless connection, you can reconfigure the wireless settings. Change the channel width to 20 MHz only and select channel 1, 6 or 11 to avoid wireless interference. Also make sure the router is on a higher and open location. By the way, it would help if the router’s firmware is up to date.
