MAX cannot browse network

I guess this is more of a suggestion than a question. I have a server application (Lookout) and 6 client nodes each running Lookout's Free Client software. I have a push button on an annunciator screen that launches MAX to allow operators to fiew historical data, however, when MAX is launched on one of the client nodes, there is no data to view since the client application has no database. This is understandable, but I cannot route MAX through the network in order to historically view data within the server. I have been recently informed by NI Tech Support that this function is not available. So....... why is it that in the second step of "Create new Historical data" does it ask you to enter a computer name and plainly states "Chose the location f
or this database. This will be the computer where the database is located."? I can browse the network and select another PC but it will not browse the files. Also, if MAX is installed on a Free Client machine, the "Create New" option is not even there. MAX could be a great tool, but is rendered nearly useless because it is only available on the Server PC. This defies the whole Lookout server/client structure. Is this going to be fixed? Soon?

Carl,
Yes you can browse for the computer name from MAX. However we can't get the directory structure, from the remote computer. However you can make it simple for yourself by placing the directory in a easy location such as c:\database.
The historical data viewer is part of the free lookout client. So not only would you not have the Create New option you would also not have the Historical Data section in MAX. You can still view the data in Lookout on the client. However it does make sense to be able to view the data in MAX on a client installation, so I will pass on the suggestion.

WRT110N Cannot Browse Network PCs after restart

I was able to browse Network PCs from XP [somehow cannot do so when in Vista - to browse XP PCs]. Now after restart I cannot browse any network pcs. I had hard reset the WRT`110 and disable all firewalls from all pcs and no antivirus running. What am I missing? It says unable to browse PC due to service not being started etc... and restarted it ..... still no go. This is from XP to Vista. I pressed the little reset button on the back of this. Strangely when transferring files between pcs 2 hrs ago was quite slow... any way to speed this up?

Lonny,
Which version of RV042 do you have? Have you check to see if you are on the latest OS code?
Firmware
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414010&softwareid=282465789&release=4.0.4.02-tm&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
Now check the release notes of the code you are running- this is to verify that it’s not a known issue.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9923/prod_release_notes_list.html
Have you tried different PC operating systems?
I haven’t seen any cases come though the support center with this error. You can give us a call @ 1-866-606-1866 if you would like us to take a look at your configuration.
Hope this helps,

NI MAX cannot see / looses network instrument

There appears to be a bug with NI MAX where a network instrument which was previously configured suddently dissappears and when we attempt to re-establish the instrument, MAX claims that it cannot find the instrument.
This was seen on 4 different stations, all sharing the similar behavior. This was also seen at a completely different customer where the configuration was setup by a fourth person. At client # 1 there are 4 stations. They were setup by 3 different people using the same instructions. Everything was fine on all 4 stations. All of a sudden, the information dissappears from the network instrument list and it is not possible to re-configure the network instrument within MAX. A similar behavior was reported by another client which is totally different than the first client. NI MAX was configured by a different person than at client 1, possibly using different steps (although it is quite simple to setup a network device within NI MAX).
NI MAX at client #1 are versions 5.40f0 and 14.0.0a2.
NI MAX at client # 2 is version at least 14.0.0a2.
If we copy an exported settings file from another station, the network devices are restored and it is possible to use the network instrument. However, if you attempt to setup the instrument manually, because MAX cannot find it automatically, it is not possible to validate the instrument and complete the setup. Even if you cheat and complete the setup, the PC will not communicate with the instrument via VISA. However, it is possible to communicate with the instrument outside NI MAX. The instrument is seen by the PC and does respond to ping requests.
See image below.
When trying to validate the instrument, NI MAX responds with the fact that it could not open a VISA session via TCPIP.
My first question is: why does the instrument dissappear in the first place?
Rebooting the PC did not help. Basic troubleshooting did not resolve the issue. This is not the first time I work with NI MAX and with network instruments; however, this is the first time I see them dissappear fromNI MAX.
I did not find anything while searching for posts for similar issues, so I do not know if anyone else has seen this. I did encounter a similar description for a bug that was supposidly fixed in MAX 5.4
Does anyone at NI have a clue at how to make NI MAX more solid with respect to network instruments?
Thanks,
RayR

Hello AK2DM,
I was just north of you last week in Sedona. Beautiful place. Our next trip in your area will take us to Phoenix. We'll have to get together.
There are no dependencies on any NI Services that I am aware of. A customer just reported a similar issue at their Penang CM site. They are now in a bit of a panic. I did not work on the code at that site, but 3 sites, 2 customers reporting the same issue??? That's not a coincidence. Something is wrong with MAX. The only way to recover is to import the configuration file within NI MAX. It was impossible to simply scan for the instrument to get MAX to communicate with the instrument, although the PC, that has NI MAX installed, is able to ping the instrument.
I may have seen a similar issue a few years ago with another client where we kept loosing the network communication, but gave up and switched to GPIB. At the time, we thought the network switches were causing issues and blamed it on the network. Today, I may think otherwise... I do not know what to investigate to verify why this is occurring. Strangely enough, these systems ran for a year before we started seeing the symptoms. I thought windoze upgrades was turned off... It may be related to some recent upgrade, because we only started seeing these unusual behaviors since November (?). I can't remember exactly when we first saw it. Late fall / early winter??
It is strange that you started seeing an odd behavior around the same time. Running windoze, right? I never liked windoze... Everyone should move to Linux/Unix/Solaris. LOL!

The 3G symbol is not showing up on my home screen and I cannot browse the net, any suggestions?

The 3G symbol does not show up on my home page and I cannot browse the Internet or receive mail. Any advice?

reset the iphone
1. press the wake/sleep button the top until you get the red slider
2. Slide to power off
3. Wait for phone to power off (you get a spinning gear icon for a while)
4. press the wake/sleep button to turn in back on.
if that doesn't work reset network settings
1. Go to Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings
2. Confirm that you want to do this and the phone will restart itself
if that doesn't work restore the phone in iTunes, but you will want to sync all of your data before you do that.

WRT54G3G-ST - Connection is up but I cannot browse

I have a WRT54G3G-ST with a PX-500 Sprint Aircard. If the connection is left idle for 6 - 10 hours it stays connected but I cannot browse or ping outside my local network, basically I cannot browse the Internet at all. The connection says it is connected. If I ping a valid Internet address from a command prompt or the router it fails. If I reboot or powercycle the router everything works fine. Anyone else seeing this?

I believe this is happening to me. Just started a few days ago. If I rebooted and/or powered down the equipment, usually the signal would return. I am a router newbie. how do I reflashing the router's firmware? What is so weird with this is that I can not surf the new with firefox or internet explorer, but I can send and receive emails though outlook on my personal PC. On my work laptop, if I am not logged in through the VPN, I can not surf the net. If I am logged in through my VPN for work, I can access the internet. So instructions would be helpful or reference to a published doc.
Also, does anyone know how to change your email address on this board? for the life of me, I can not find a place to do that.
Thanks!

Cannot browse Netflix, only can see instant queue.

When I open Netflix on Apple TV2 I no longer can see "Suggestions for You", "Browse", "Movies"...etc. I can see instant queue, and logout. I restarted and get same results. Anyone else?

I've had similar issues with the Macs on my network (including the Mini on the TV); I generally cannot browse the streaming catalog with images and lose various levels of connects to Netflix CDNs (I usually lose all images of titles, in most cases cannot access the stream, in some cases can access the streams). This appears in my case to be a Mac specific issue (Windows machines, iPad, iPhone -- even Ubuntu, though it can't stream, can browse the library and get images from the Netflix CDN). Unitl today, a router reboot, clearing all caches and cookies, and some screaming would seem to get it working again ... Netflix (via phone) told me to contact Apple; their support script for Safari isn't even for 5.1 ... ugh ...

Cannot browse the net

i recently purchased WRT54GS and since the day i bought it i am having this issue where i cannot browse eventhough i see the the wireless network connection icon strength showing either excellent or very good, several times i have taken online help on the linksys site but the problem remains, its just very frustrating, would some one please help??????

You must setup a router first through a wired connection. If the computer works through a wired connection you can deal with the wireless side.
Have you changed the router password from "admin" to something else?
Have you change your SSID from "linksys" to something else on the router?
Have you configure wireless security?

My Firefox currently in offline mode, cannot browse web. How do I make sure Firefox is permitted to access web??? Problem just started 2 days ago.

When I log on my desktop mac, and sign in, a screen pops up which states: "'''''''''Firefox is currently in offline mode and cannot browse the web.'''''''''
Make sure your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure Firefox is permitted to access web"??????
I have to log completely out, Restart my computer, then it will let me get online or browse net.

Did you check the Offline setting in File > Work Offline?

Cannot Browse when Connected to iPhone Personal Hotspot

Hi there
I don't know for certain that the two events are linked but since I updated Lion on my 11" MBA to 10.7.2 and my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I cannot browse the web on my MBA using the iPhone as a personal hotspot (cellular data).
I am connecting to my iPhone's network via Bluetooth. The network provider is O2 and I have a contract which permits tethering.
The Bluetooth network connection appears to complete successfully (see below) but when I try to browse the web, nothing loads.
FWIW, Chrome eventually returns a DNS lookup failure (see below). Safari just hangs whilst trying to load the requested page - I haven't waited for it to time out (assuming it does).
I have no such problems browsing the web (or downloading emails) on my iPad (1st gen; also running iOS 5) when it is tethered to my iPhone in the same way, the MBA/iPhone connection worked before the updates and browsing is fine when the MBA connected to the 'net via wi-fi.
Any ideas as to how I can resolve this?
John

I have an update to this problem.
If I first connect to the iPhone's network using my iPad then subsequently connect my MBA to the network (I did this whilst the iPad was still connected to the iPhone), browsing works!
If I then disconnect both devices and reconnect just the MBA, I am back to square one - browsing doesn't work.
I have now posted this question in the Lion community too as I'm starting to think that this is more of a software issue.

Cannot Browse - iPhone Personal Hotspot via BT

Hi
I've already posted this question in the MBA community as I wasn't sure if this is a hardware or software issue but some additional testing has me thinking it's the latter.
You can see the original post and all the gory details here but essentially I am having problems browsing the web when I connect to my iPhone 3GS' personal hotspot via Bluetooth.
Somewhat coincidentally, the issues only started happening since I updated the respective OSs to 10.7.2 (from 10.7.1) and 5 respectively - before then I had no problems using my MBA with my iPhone.
Using my 1st gen iPad to make the same connection works perfectly and oddly enough if I connect the MBA to the iPhone's network having first connected the iPad (whilst the iPad is still connectied), I can browse fine on the MBA.
Disconnecting the iPad from the network I can still browse OK but when I disconnect and reconnect just the MBA, I am back to the original problem and cannot browse.
FYI, browsing on the MBA via wi-fi works OK.
John

Thanks again for replying.
It is connected - see screen shot below. Just to be clear, the problem is that I am unable browse the web whilst my MBA is connected to my iPhone's network via BT.

Browse network across VPN

I have a pair of WRV54G wireless routers connected together in a one to one connection. The remote site can browse the network on the main side and access shares through Network places but the main network cannot browse the network on the remote side, I get a message stating that I may not have permissions to access the network resource whenever I try to look at shares on the remonte computer. The remote computer is a domain menber and I can ping it by IP and DNS name. I also get a message that says the network path is not found. I can not see any properties in the router config that would pertain to this issue.
Any ideas?
Dave

Is this the first time you are facing this issue?? If yes would suggest you to try forwarding the port 8080 on to your router & then also check if your remote pc is it having adminstrative login onto it & try setting it up accordingly in order to remotely access the same pc. Also, disable the firewalls on both the sides in order to achieve any further problems.

HP Deskjet 3050a cannot find network printer

I need to find out what my IP address is for my printer. I may have changed it accidently when I was trying to set up my printer to a new router. I have reset the default settings. I have tried to go to HP file where it says I can change my IP address and I get the error "cannot find network printer". I have done all of the obvious deinstall, reinstall, added MAC address to router. Nothing will recognize my printer. Please help. Thank you

Hello again,
OK, thanks for the updated information. Try these steps...
Changing wireless settings
If you decide to change the wireless network settings for your wireless home network, you will need to configure your wireless printer with the new settings.
To configure the new wireless settings on a printer that features a Wireless Setup Wizard:
From the printer’s control panel, open the Wireless Settings menu. Many products provide access to the Wireless Settings by pressing the Wireless Button or touching the Wireless icon on the printer’s control panel. Consult the printer’s help documentation if you do not know how to access the Wireless Settings menu.
From the Wireless Settings menu select Wireless Setup Wizard. The Wireless Setup Wizard will guide you through the process of configuring your printer with the new wireless settings. Input your Wireless Network Name and Wireless Password when prompted.
You can print a Wireless Network Test report from the Wireless settings menu to confirm the printer was successfully connected to your network.
To configure your wireless settings on a printer that does not feature a Wireless Setup Wizard:
First, make sure your computer is connected to your network. You will also need a USB cable, which is temporarily used during the configuration. Be sure NOT to connect the USB cable between the computer and printer until instructed to do so by the software.
If your HP printer software is already installed on your computer Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Use Start -> Programs -> HP -> <your printer model> -> Printer Setup & Software. Windows 8:
Launch the Printer Software from the Start screen (icon for the printer model name) or from the tile named for your printer.
Select (click or touch) Utilities on the top of the Printer Software screen
Select Printer Setup & Software
Also,
Link below for some useful information on getting your printer back on the network........Good Luck!

ITunes 7 cannot browse album covers on this computer error and crash

Installed iTunes 7 yesterday, and now every time I try to go to certain pages in the iTunes store, such as movies or tv shows, I get an error saying "iTunes cannot browse album covers on this computer". Then iTunes immediately crashes. Has anyone else had this problem? Any fix??
Compaq Windows XP

I have the same issue. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I was on the Cover Flow View and it was working fine. I clicked on the full screen icon and the entire screen went random (meaning totally random pixels of color all over). I pressed the escape key and the normal screen returned, but it only showed a black section where the covers had previously been. I restarted iTunes and it started giving me the same message. I also can see them in the lower left and on the Album View. Just the Cover Flow view doesn't work. I downloaded the latest iTunes today and I keep all of the Windows updates on.

I have to open firefox twice otherwise it will freeze. I can see my home page but I cannot browse. If I close it and then reopen it works fine. I have just noticed this after installing the latest version

Firefox freezes when I open it. I can see my homepage (incomplete) but I cannot browse. The cursor moves but cannot open anything. If I close and reopen firefox it works fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to the latest version of firefox

These issues are usually caused by firewalls. See [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]

I am trying to download itunes and keep getting an error message cannot access network location %appdata%

I am trying to download itunes to windows 7 and keep getting the error message "cannot access network location $APPDATA%\." I have contacted an Apple advisor and was not able to resolve the problem. What to do?

Since this a problem pertaining to the iTunes application, you might have better luck posting this in the iTunes forum.
