Losing connection after being 30 minutes online

Hey all,
My first post here, and it's a problem , hope that you can help me.
I'm having a bit of trouble with my graphite basestation, when i'm trying to connect it to my ibook g3 it works, but when i'm on it for about 30 minutes the airport connection is lost. I tried to reset the base station and check the antenna but the problem remains, after 30 minutes it switches off.
Does anyone know of this problem?
Please help me out here
iMac G5, iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Airport

A few days ago I bought an airport card 1.1 and a graphite basestation.
I am experiencing the same problem as you decribe!!
Very surprised that there is someone ( and also in the Netherlands ) out there with the same connection problem.
Please, let there be someone telling there's a simple explanation for this!!

Game losing connection after 10 minutes

I'm playing Battlefield 1942 on my new Intel iMac with Leopard. I know Battlefield 1942 isn't officially supported on intel macs, but it seems to run fine once you get it installed and updated.
However, I can play online fine, but after 10 minutes or so I always get the "Warning Connection Lost" message and I'm booted back to the lobby. It's weird because it always happens 10+ minutes into the game.
All the ports needed in my mac firewall/router firewall are open. I looked at the firewall log and noticed that every time I'm disconnected the same message is posted in the firewall log. But I have no idea what it means:
Jan 27 01:27:13 david-cs-imac Firewall[49]: cupsd is listening from fe80::1:631 uid = 0 proto=6
The "cupsd is listening" is always posted whenever I lose the connection. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, the ports are open on my router. I already have my firewall on my Mac set to "Set access for specific services and applications" with BF1942 on there.
If the cupsd has nothing to do with me getting disconnected, then it's eerily happening at the exact same time everytime I get disconnected. I mean everytime. I take note of what time it is every time I'm disconnected and then immediately go check the firewall log. Cupsd is always there happening at the same time as when I got disconnected.
I'm pretty sure the game isn't switching ports. From what I've read on the internet it uses a specific port. That port is opened up on my Linksys router.

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, losing connection after sleep, restart

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
=============================================
- After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
- Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
Possible Fix:
1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
c)Go to sleep & wake up.
d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.
3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.

I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

A7-50 3500-F losing internet connection after 10 minutes.

Hi everyone, My A7-50 A3500-F seems to be having some problems maintaining internet connection. After around 10 minutes chrome tells me I'm offline, youtube can't load anything and messenger stops working as well. Disconnecting and connecting again fixes the problem but it repeats over and over again. I mostly use it connected to my home wifi, which I know works fine. I tried connecting to other networks and the same thing happens It happens. I tried soft resets, hard resets and restoring it to factory settings but none of that worked. The tablet is running on android 4.4.2. Any ideas on how to fix that? I just got the thing and I don't want to RMA it and lose it for a month.

End result that should fix it (hopefully) Returned it to Harvey Norman for their tech team to look at it.... Lenovo advised them to hold the tablet for a couple of weeks because they were waiting for the parts needed to repair the problem.... at that point Lenovo hadn't even seen the device and the tech team at Harvey Norman had no idea what the cause was..... 6 weeks later, after being chased by the team at Harvey Norman (who still have my tablet sitting on their work bench) Lenovo says they still don't have the parts and due to the delay will issue a replacement device.... That was three weeks ago.... Still no tablet and no word as to WHEN the replacement will be issued.... Fingers crossed it gets upgraded to a refund so I can buy something that works

Access point --- Internet losing connection every 5 minutes....

i have a wrt54g v6 router and a wmp54g both current drivers and firmware from the linksys website. i am frequently losing connection between router and internet. i've lowered my mtu, i've forwarded ports, reinstalled card in all 4 pci slots, i've literally done everything i know possible to do. i sat on the phone for 4 hours waiting on a linksys technician before my phone died friday trying to get ahold of someone for some help. resetting the router doesn't seem to help at all. the connection loss time is random aswell. sometimes it's for minutes sometimes it's for 10 seconds, but when you're playing online games that's all it takes to disconnect you. i've been going absolutely crazy trying to fix this so if anyone has any idea's i would be ever so greatful.

First off all i don't suggest to play online games on wireless since as we all know wireless is such an unstable media for connection.
Can you tell me the distance between the computer and the router. Also what is in the direct environment of the network.
Are you using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. This device is can cause intermittent internet connection on wireless networks
we still have to isolate the problem just in case something else is causing your problem.

Since updating to 10.6.8 my VPN has lost the connection after 30 minutes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I updated to 10.6.8 and now my VPN connection is unstable. It has lost the connection to the host after 30 minutes on three different occasions. Before updating, I was able to be connected for hours with no interruption.
The error reads: "A configuration error occurred. Verify your settings and try reconnecting."
Adding to the problem is that the problem only corrects itself after I restart my computer.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix I should be looking for?
Thanks!

I'm sorry I didn't post back earlier, I haven't been using my VPN lately. However, today, I did use it for hours and the problem persisted exactly as explained. I did some more searching and found the following solution on a similar thread. Worked like a charm:
the vpn daemon has to be restarted. after that it works perfectly.
1. Open Terminal
2. Unload the VPN daemon using the following command (for those who don't know, don't include the % sign when typing in Terminal):
% sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist
Note: After you type the command in, Terminal will give you a warning and ask you if you want to continue. Enter your password and continue.
3. Reload the VPN daemon in Terminal (again, not typing the % sign) :
% sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.racoon.plist
That should do it! Thank you to everyone who tried to help me. Hopefully this helps others out there...
P.S. For those that are unfamiliar with terminal. When you type in the commands, that's not a hard return in there before the path /System/Library... etc. The line break is just because the path is too long to fit on that line.

Router closes TCP connection after 30 minutes

I have recently replaced my D-Link DIR-100 router with a Cisco Linksys RV042, but unfortunately there seems to be a problem with it.
I have an external TCP connection coming in to a local service, and I therefore set up the router to redirect the incoming connection for the given port to the local PC hosting the service. This worked perfectly. I also opened the Firewall access rules to allow all data from WAN2 to be propagated through. This also worked just fine, and I can connect from the internet to the local PC, just like I could with my old router. Unfortunately this is where the simularities stop. When there is no communication on the TCP connection for more than 30 minutes then the router closes the connection automatically. This is NOT what I want. I only communicate on the TCP connection very rarely, but I do not want it closed automatically - at least not after just 30 minutes.
I did some research on line and it appears that there in some routers are a TCP connection timeout, which in the router I read about, defaulted to 1 day. This would be OK. I experimented and found that if there is communication every 30 minutes then it is not close the connection, but if there is 50minutes between communication then it closes the connection.
As I read that this timeout has to do with security I experimented with the firewall and found the following:
1. Disabling the entire router firewall fixes the problem !!!
2. Disabling just DoS has no effect (problem still exists)
3. Disabling SPI means I cannot connect at all !!! (new and much worse problem)
4. Disabling Block WAN Requests has no effect (problem still exists)
Is there a way to solve this problem without disabling the entire firewall, as that is not what I want to do. I have the system set up for Dual WAN (load balancing), and I only want to allow connections to a handful of ports on the one WAN, and block the other WAN entirely.
P.S. I was referred to the Cisco Small Business Support Community by the Cisco Home community, so I hope this is the right place.

Hi Ddb101,
This is a limitation (or feature depending on how you look at it) of the iPhone/iPod touch. 30 minutes after the device locks (usually 5 minutes of inactivity) the network turns off completely to save battery life. You can either turn autolock off globally, or some programs (mine for instance see: http://ootunes.com/app/ ) have an option that disables sleep while the app is running so the stream will keep playing... until your battery dies Only problem is with the screen on the battery actually dies even faster!
Finally, if the device is connected to a constant power source, it shouldn't actually time out. So if you have a way to plug it in, it shouldn't quit after 30 minutes on you...
hope that helps,
also, since there's a link to my site up there, and I sell the app, I should tell you that I might get money if you go to the page and end up buying my app...

Keep losing connection every 15 minutes

As the topic say, I keep losing connection about every 15 minutes, which has been ongoing
for more than 24 hours. This is starting to get on my nerves, I'm running a business and every
time I get cut out, I lose a lot of money. BT Infinite suppose to be relyable and stable
and here I am with this flashing modem, paying 45 pounds a month for this **bleep**. This is not the
first time this is happening, what the F are you going to do about it?
I would like to cancel my contract before it runs out, since you are not delivering what promised.
Im relying on a stable connection.

I lose my internet connection after 5+ minutes-must restart to get it back

In the past day or two when I use the internet with my MacBook Pro-13" running Snow Leopard 10.6.4 I suddenly realize after 5-25 minutes that I am no longer connected to the internet. (I have 2 Internet Service Providers in my home-office setup)
This occurs when I am using either of the ISP's: VOO or BELGACOM; and it occurs if I am using via ethernet cable (primarily VOO) or WiFi (primarily BELGACOM). But it fails with wireless VOO and wired Belgacom, too.
Suddenly I see that my WeatherDock 2 is not updating or I check the weather somewhere else or I'm going to a new page in Safari and it just has a white page for a long time and I know the internet is GONE. Sometimes the NETWORK Preference panel still tells me I'm connected (wired LAN type); although generally when it is via wireless it turns to the red dot and tells me I am not connected.
With Wireless if I try to reconnect, often it brings up the WPA password box - but it never connects.
Logging-out and loggin-in does NOT work; neither does sleep and waking from sleep.
But if I do a restart- automatically my preferred WiFi server is working great - but for how long? Generally 10-20 minutes then gone...
HELP - this is a relatively recent problem (last few days) - and a nightmare - can't get anything done!
GLAD I SAVED THIS BECAUSE I CANNOT SEND IT - AFTER JUST 5 MNUTES THE NETWORK CONNECTION IS GONE AND I HAD TO RESTART-- Hopefully this gets sent.
Best regards,

Thanks and I shall be trying these things - plus perhaps a new router (I have 2 now, and will try to just use the newest one - eventually might get an 8 port out as I have 2-3 computers plus 2 printers...)
Since I have 2 different ISP's (VOO and BELGACOM) I make sure to turn-off the one (unplug or if WiFi just turn-off WiFi). The eMac does NOT have WiFi.
The Belgacom modem has its own built-in WiFi - again the eMac cannot access that - other than via the PBG4 accessing that WiFi and the eMac connected to the PBG4 via FireWire 400 cable for internet access. That works and doesn't seem to cut-out.
I'll follow your other hints-- no "MINI" involved - just an eMac 2005 without WiFi and a PBG4 and my MacBook Pro-13" mid 2010 (and that seems to have a HD problem...)
I'm not sure how to "RELEASE AND RENEW" my IP address. Also not sure how to access the router LOGs.
DI-604 router is at least 6 years old---
Thanks for any reply - hope to get back to this later today -

Why Apple Tv 2 drop Home Sharing connection after few minutes?

I just installed an Apple TV 2. Internet connection applications as Apple Store, Youtbe, etc work very well but it drops Library`s communication just after a few minutes. I`m running files like music that are in the library in a PC with Windows Vista.
I`ve been reading other discussions and have done every thing that was suggested as:
- setting Static IP address
- have set Firewall with the ports are supposed to open
- have set Port Forwarding on the router (a Linksys WRT54GS)
- have updated Network Card driver
- have updated router firmware
- turned off sleepling mode and screen saver
- restored Apple TV 2
- reset router
- installed last Itunes version
All that and possibily other things that I do not remember right now but still looseingconnection to the Library after a few minutes. I have realized first time I put a slide show of pictures with music background and the music always stops after the second music. After that you just see the message that you need to turn on the Library related to my Apple ID.
Today I did a test with a home sharing with another computer I have that runs Windows 7 and guess what: the Home Sharing worked fine!
So, my conclusion is that there is some flaw on Home Sharing when running Itunes in Windows Vista or specificly with this computer running the Windows Vista.
I have done a research and have not found anything else. So, could anyone have a hint of what is going on?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Yesterday were released the IOS 5.1 and the Itunes 10.6. I thought that updating the IOS on the Apple TV 2 and the Itunes on PC, my problems would go away. I did that but for my surprise it has NOT.
Then I had a recall that I have read somewhere a while ago about issues with the AVAST Anti-Virus and Home Sharing, that can generate connectivity issues,
In one of my first temptatives to resolve this issue I have stopped the AVAST and I still had the problem, so I left this trail of solution. But since nothing was working I decided to uninstall it. I was a little skeptical about it but gave a shoot.
To my surprise, when I uninstalled it, booted the computer and did the Home Sharing, the problem was FIXED!
That made total sense because the other computer that runs Windows 7 and I have tested before, worked fine, it runs AVIRA as Anit-Virus software.
So my conclusion is that, on my case, the AVAST caused the issue and to stop its service was not enough to diagnose the issue. I had to uninstall it, believe or not. And that the issue has nothing to do with Windows Vista OS but with AVAST.
After that, I uninstall AVIRA as Anti Virus software and, since that, the Library and Home Sharing (24 h ago) is working perfectly and I think that will stay.

Computer randomly losing power after being serviced

My computer was just recently serviced after the motherboard was apparently damaged (the hard drive could not be located within the computer). After getting it back, I began using it regularly again, being slightly more cautious. It hasn't been more than five days and already I'm having issues, this time with power. I'm not exactly sure what is going on, but all I know is that one minute I'll be playing a game or working on music, and the next minute the computer just dies. It takes it a bit to be able to be powered up again, but the lap isn't showing any signs of overheating. Is there anything that I can do to fix this without needing to send it in again? (I'd rather not be without it again for 3 weeks, but if it boils down to it I will send it in again.)

Airport Express drops connection after two minutes

Configuration:
Airport Express 7.4.1
iMac running OS X 10.5.6
Windows XP laptop (Sony)
Windows Vista Home (Dell)
Windows XP (Packard Bell DOT.NL netbook)
All computers are connecting smoothly through the AEX except the Packard Bell netbook. This is using an atheros AR5700EG WiFi adapter. After establishing contact with the AEX all connections will work for 2 minutes. After that, pinging the AEX is not even possible, it seams to have disappeared. XP however tells me that the connection is 100% OK.
The problem is: this machine works fine with any other WiFi access point like Linksys, Belkin etc, but not with the AEX.
Tried varying all settings in the AEX, and disabling Wireless Zero Configuration in XP, but nothing will fix the problem.

Having the same exact problem except my macbook stays connected with no drops. My toshiba laptop drops after a few minutes. the toshiba also has an Atheros wi-fi card. we tried connecting the Toshiba laptop to another AEX router and it did the same thing. AEX is conflicting either with windows vista or ths particular wi-fi card.

WRT54GS v7 loses wireless connectivity after 15 minutes or so

I just installed a WRT54GS v7 router to work with my cable modem. It has the latest firmware. The wireless connection seems to work for about 15 minutes or so at a time and then it stops working. I can't even get to 192.168.1.1. The only way to get it to work is unplug the router and plug it back in. Originally, I thought it was interference from my 2.8GHz cordless phone, so I unpluged it. But that still didn't fix the problem. What could be the problem? Thanks.

Cant connect after being on secured network

Hello,
About 2 weeks ago I registered my macbook in the network of my university so that I could get wireless around campus. After succesfully using the system, i went back to my room and tried to connect to my personal router, but it didnt work anymore. It as only after having my computer off for many hours that i could use it again. The computer thinks its connected and can tell the strength of the signal, but when i open safari and go to google, it doent work. Also, today it was working fine, then i putted the computer to sleep, and when coming back, I got the same problem. All this started since registering my computer to the univeristy network.
any suggestions?

Look into the list of Preferred Networks to join under:
Network Preferences -> Show: Airport -> Airport tab then the By default join: list for Preferred networks and rearrange the order or whatever.
