Migration manager connection issues

I just bought a new iMac from BestBuy. When I fired up the new iMac it gave me the option to migrate files from my old iMac. Unfortunately, neither iMac is able to find eachother.
What I've done so far:
1. Ensured I was running Mac OSX 10.4.11 and installed the latest version of Migration Manager from this link according to Apple's instructions on how to use migration manager.
Migration and DVD and CD Sharing Update. Once download and installation were complete I rebooted the old iMac.
Result: Both machines spin trying to find other computers. The new iMac says that the Migration Manager needs to be updated on my old mac.
2. Connect both machines via an ethernet wire and set up a machine-to-machine network.
Result: Both machines spin trying to find other computers. The new iMac says that the Migration Manager needs to be updated on my old mac.
3. Ensured that both machines had file-sharing enabled and firewalls were down.
Result: Both machines spin trying to find other computers. The new iMac says that the Migration Manager needs to be updated on my old mac.
4. Looked for system updates on the old machine to see if a newer version of Migration Manager could be found.
Result: The only update found was for Safari.
5. Installed new system updates on the new iMac. Rebooted.
Result: Both machines spin trying to find other computers. The new iMac says that the Migration Manager needs to be updated on my old mac.
Is there anything else I can try? I'm not sure why the new iMac still says that the old iMac needs to update its version of Migration Manager.
Last resort will be to use an external harddrive to move everything over.
Thanks!

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3174 has the details. However, I recommend starting over. Wipe the new machine by booting with the Recovery HD (restart holding down CMD), erasing the iMac HD, and restating Lion, but not restarting. Put the old machine into target disk mode, hook it up to the iMac with a 400-800 FW adapter cable, startup the iMac, and it should see the old machine. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide

SSRS/SharePoint Migration 2010 to 2013 connection issues

We are currently attempting to move our SharePoint 2010 to 2013 and SSRS Information. The first attempt at this we were unable to get SSRS to show up in Central Admin. We decided to rebuild all servers and re-installed everything.
This time we have SSRS showing up in Central admin and we are able to run some reports from our sites now. In our 2010 environment we are using "Windows authentication (integrated) or Sharepoint user" option with SharePoint Lists. I am unable to
get this to work in our 2013 Environment, the stored credentials with windows authentication will work however.
I have read t through many different books, MS Guides, Blogs, Forums, etc but unable to solve this issue.
I have tried editing the rsreportserver.config to match our Production, did not help. (also tried different authentications)
I found an article saying to change the "Forms" Auth in some config files to "Windows" did not help
When I try to go to our \\localserver\reportserver (appserver) I get a blank page with this info:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 22:30:03 GMT
Connection: close
I have tried going into Central Admin -> General Application Settings -> Report Server Integration. and fill out this information also but receive this error:
Failed to establish connection with report server. Verify the server URL is correct or review ULS logs for more information. Product area: SQL Server Reporting Services, Category: Configuration
Pages
I am not sure if I have missed some step along the way of migrating and setting up this information. Any help or other things to try would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Hi young99,
According to your description, you get connection issue after migration from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. Right?
In this scenario, we are not clear how you did the migration. Please follow these steps and check if you miss anything:
Restore Reporting Services encryption keys
Backup the SharePoint content databases and detach it.
Backup Reporting Services catalog database.
Copy Reporting Services configuration files.
Restore SharePoint Content databases to the new farm.
Restore the Reporting Servicesencryption keys.
Restore the SQL database that is the Reporting Services catalog database (ReportServer).
Restore Reporting Services configuration files.
Create a new Reporting Services service application.

Connection Issues in the Connection Manager

Good Morning Friends,
I hope i will get some answer or some directions here . I have been trying to find a solution for months. I have two servers TESTSQL(2008R2) PRODSQL(2008R2) . On these twos servers i have a package that loads data from source databases into the staging tables
in the data warehouse. The source servers were 2005. The packages were running great with no problem. They have upgraded the source servers to 2008r2 and now the package on the PRODSQL(2008R2) is not working. I'm getting the connection manager connection error.
we have checked all the possible places (like nameof the instance, firewall -- all the servers are internal servers). The package on TESTSQL is able to connect to the source servers and this is how we have been running the package for the time being. Please
see the below error. Any documentatiuon or link will be of great help.
TITLE: Connection Manager
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login timeout expired
A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information

Hi thinkingeye,
Based on my research, this 503 error usually means that the SQL Server computer can't be found or that the TCP port number is either not known, or is not the correct port number, or is blocked by a firewall.
According to your description, it seems that the issue is caused by you cannot ping the IP Address of the source server in the command prompt window of PRODSQL server or the source SQL Server is blocked by the firewall in the PRODSQL server.
For more details about how to fix this issue, please refer to the following blog:

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

HP PhotoSmart 7510 suddenly has severe connectivity issues

I have a HP PhotoSmart 7510 printer since about 2 months. Initial setup worked like a charm and the printer has been working pretty much perfectly for the last 2 months. Wireless printing, scanning and internet access on the printer (e.g. for Facebook photos) all worked. Just from time to time i would get the occasional (mildly annoying) message on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable" but it usually worked itself out and whenever I needed it to work, it did work.
But since a few days ago, it has some severe connectivity issues. I didn't change any settings on the printer, router or computer - the issues just started appearing by themselves. I startet getting much more frequent messages on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable". I noticed I couldn't print anymore, and restarting computer, printer and/or router didn't help at all. The only thing so far i managed to print wirelessly since the problems started were the first 5 pixel rows of an image I tried to print, the rest didn't transmit.
It seems the printer still connects to the WLAN but printing and scanning no longer work, and whenever I try to access a web service on the printer (like Facebook) it says it has no internet connection, even though the WLAN light is lit up (not blinking) and all the wireless status reports say "congratulations, no problems found" and display IPs etc. just like normal.
I looked at the threads "PhotoSmart 7510 connects to router, but not to the web.", "Wireless printer (HP Photosmart 7510) not connecting to network" and "Photosmart 7510 won't connect to Web Services" but they weren't a big help. Activating EWS didn't work because even though the printer showed its IP address to be 192.168.1.3, when I entered this in my web browser it didn't find the printers configuration page.
I tried the following steps from one of the threads:
1. Restore the Network defaults
2. Unplug the printers power cord while it is still on. Leave it unplugged and walk to the router.
3. While the router is still on, unplug the power cord from the router, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router. Once plugged back in the router should power on automatically.
4. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Once plugged back in the printer should power on automatically.
5. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
6. Try enabling Web Services.
I followed these steps exactly. Interestingly, even though I had done step 1 and restored the network settings to factory defaults, after turning back on, the printer somehow still had its old settings saved and reconnected to the network.
It seemed to have fixed the problem, the printer finally had internet access again (Facebook app showed my photos) and scan to computer found my PC. But after just about 3 minutes, the printer had lost its internet connectivity again. When opening the Facebook app, it displayed the same error message it did before. And printing no longer worked as well.
So, what is wrong with this printer?! It has the newest software update by the way (I checked during the 3 minutes it had internet access.) My computer is a HP Windows 7 x64 machine (EliteBook 6930p) and the router I'm using is a Netgear WNDR3700.
I specifically bought this printer for my studies at university. In one week i have my exams and in order to study I REALLY need to be able to print some of my course materials! So any help as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated. Or do you think this is a case for a warranty replacement, considering the printer's really strange and error-prone behavior?
Thanks a lot!

I can assure you that it is not a router issue. It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS. After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.
The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch). But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made). The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue. However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable. Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network. The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue. I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.
Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request. This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...). I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix. I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,

Excel ODBC Connection Issues

I'm having some issues importing external data from an Oracle 9i database.
Here is what is happening:
I am initially able to import data from the table I want to into Excel.
I do this through "Data -> Import External Data -> New Database Query" where I have my .ORA data source. I'm able to log in using my user and password and import the table. My problems come after I import this first set of data.
If I try to "Edit Query…" I get an error box that says "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed".
If I try to "Refresh Data" I get two error boxes. The first is just: "[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]" and the next says: "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLSetConnectAttr failed". It then prompts me for the User name and password of the DB I'm connecting and after I enter the information, I get the same two error messages.
Also, if I attempt to establish another connection following the "Data -> Import External Data…" steps I run into a different problem. Upon entering the information for the User Name and password prompt I get two error messages. One says "!" and the next box says "Couldn't read this file". Once I click "OK" in those boxes, the Microsoft Query window automatically opens with nothing in it.
I can't seem to figure out why I can initially pull down data and then cannot succeed afterwards. I'm unable to connect to the DB I have through Excel until I completely closed all Microsoft Excel instances.
I also use this data source in Microsoft Access without any problems.
My Excel version is 2003.
I'm using Oracle Drivers I'm using are from an "Instant Client" package.
Any thoughts why I'm having these connections issues?
Thanks in advance.

This issue is closed.
The solution was:
"Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data"
Select "New Source" and select the "Oracle" data source and filled in the appropriate information. This was similar to the database query but it actually works.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.
Thank you

My MacBook Air has recently started having substantial WiFi connectivity issues. How do I fix this?

For the last couple weeks my MacBook Air has started having some mighty substantial connectivity issues.
When I wake it from sleep, or if I'm using it for an extended period (say, more than 5-10 minutes), the connection will become extremely unreliable. This primarily happens with browsers, or the Twitter application. For example, if I start a call on Skype the call will continue to function just fine, but I won't be able to connect to any websites through any browser. I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox while the connectivity problems are occuring. When they do occur, a full shut down and cold boot are required to make it work again for a short while.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've done numerous checks for malware using Clam Xav and Sophos Anti-Virus. (I didn't suspect that this would be the issue, but it was still something that I decided to rule out.) Additionally, I've tried connecting using both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on my wireless router. Neither seems to be more successful than the other. (Note: The 5GHz works perfectly and without interruption on my iPad and desktop PC. The 2.4GHz works perfectly with my iPhone 4S and Xbox 360. I feel that with that in mind, I can safely rule out the router as the root of the problem. Both of these examples go on for very extended periods of time. I game regularly using both my PC and Xbox 360.)

Hi Jollified,
Does your sound work when you try to use head/earphones? If so, try the following:
Plug your Headphones into your Mac.
Play a sound through them (a song for example), then stop the sound.
Make sure 'Preferences' is isn't open. If it is, Quit.
Launch System Preferences > Sounds.
While the Sounds tab is open and set to 'Headphones', pull out the Headphones from the jack.
You should see your Mac reset to 'Internal Speakers'
Also, I see you have tried resetting the PRAM, have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)? Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
As for your MacBook not sleeping when you close the lid, there are many reasons this can occur.
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following:
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

Server 2012: Remote desktop licence manager not issuing licences

Hi,
I am battling with an problem which i cannot seem to resolve and no other forums actually come to a conclusion on how to resolve this problem!
I have a windows server 2012 server which is NOT part of a domain.
I have installed Remote Desktop Services and also installed the Remote Desktop License manager and i just cannot get the license manager to issue cals when users connect remotely via RDP
I have installed an extra two CAL's and tried using them as both a "Per User" and also "Per Device" but still does not work.
I have now run out of my grace period and cannot connect to the server at all
I have also tried changing some gpo's with no luck,
Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing
"Use the specified RD license servers" = myservername
"Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode" = Per User
How can i fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you seen that you have activated RDS License server before installing CAL?
Please check that the License Server should be part of ‘Terminal Server License’ group in Active Directory Domain Services. You can also configure RD License server manually by powershell commmand. Please check below article for information.
RD Licensing Configuration on Windows Server 2012

Connectivity issues for random phones in CUCM 8.6 on Vmware

I have a client that has problems with around half of there ip phones (6921 & 7945) after a situation with overheating in the serverroom.
The solutions was a 1 Publisher, 1 subscriber setup with each on a separate Vmware server.
The Publisher is connected to the Core Switch which is further connected to 4 distribution switches which again connect to 5 more distribution switches. They have around 200 ip phones connected to these switches that get assigned IP's with DHCP.
The physical disk that the Subscriber was on was destroyed the incident. The Publisher they recovered, but to do this they had to recreate the vm descriptor file and attach it to the flat-file.
So the current situation is that the system is running with only 1 Publisher and no Subscriber.
There is also a license warning in the CCM Admin section, stating a License Overage (2 nodes used, but only 1 licensed.)
The license status is not invalid though, and the license state is "Uploaded". This second node I suppose might be the Subscirber that no longer exists? The phones have more than enough licenses.
When powered up the system seems to run as it should, but only about half the phones have connectivity to and can register with CUCM.
I have tried to reboot some phones remotely by cutting the power on the switch interfaces where they are attached, but that made no difference.
The console log on the phones that are down show TFTP Timeout & File Transfer Error.
The phones that are up and running can be pinged successfully from the CUCM cli, but when pinging the others I get "Destination Host Unreachable".
The strange thing is that it seems completely random as to what phones are up or down. On all switches there are connected phones with both working and non-working connections to CUCM.
To try to pinpoint the fault I chose 2 devices on the same switch and compared the config for each interface, one that has connectivity and is registered, and one that does not have connectivity and is unreachable.
Everything seems to be identical so I can't see what causes this error on the one, but not on the other.
Also when I ping the ip phone with no connectivity to CUCM from any of the switches, the ping is successful.
Anyone know what could be the cause of this behaviour?

Hello and thank you for your time.
The phones get there IP’s from a DHCP Server (Not the built in one in CUCM, but an external server). I have tested that the DHCP process works by powering off a phone (one of the phones with connectivity issues), deleting the lease, and then powering the phone back on and seeing the device request and receive a new lease.
There is only one CCM group active and both servers are in this group with the Publisher as highest priority server. All phones are in the same Device Pool attached to this group.
There are a lot of warnings regarding dbReplication & missing node due to the subscriber being gone. Also there is an issue with NTP server (see below). I will post more on this tomorrow morning.
I have also attached the console log from one of the phones that can't register.
NTP Alert:

Wi-Fi connection issues since securing network

Hi all,
Hoping to get some solutions as I have tried to troubleshoot this issue with other posts and google searches. Here is my scenario :
I'm running OS Lion 10.7.5 on my MBP and have been connected to our home wi-fi for about 12 months on a connection that wasn't secured by password.
Since having some download issues and fearing that someone is connecting outside our household, we have secured our wi-fi and added a password.
Both mine and my sister's iPhones got prompted to select a network, selected the appropriate one, punched in the password and were connected with no issues. My iPad Mini, Dad's laptop and both my parents' phones all connected with no issue.
When I booted my MBP, I was prompted with needing to join a new network and upon selecting our home network was met with an immediate 'Connection timeout' response.
I try to connect manually through Network in the System Preferences and got the same 'Connection Timeout'. When I click 'Assist me' and try to connect that way, I am finally prompted to input the password, which I do correctly and I get 'Invalid Password' etc etc response ... then after about 5 seconds it connects me !!
So even though the connection timed out and I wasn't able to put a password in, manually doing it told me the password was wrong etc then I get connection like normal. If I switch my laptop off/reboot/log out/turn wi-fi off then back on, I'm back to square one and can't connect unless I follow the same tedious steps.
Fearing it was an issue with our router, we have since bought a new one, installed it and reconnected all the devices as mentioned above, however my MBP connection issue still exists.
How can I get it to connect automatically like it used to and recognize our home network with a correct password, without continually having to go through all those steps ?
I have tried to delete that entry in my preferred networks and tried to re-establish it etc. Keychain Access doesn't list my router and input password.
I'd like to be able to solve the issue asap if possible and hopefully without having to delete all of my other known networks that I connect to as I travel all over the country for work and have about 6-8 routers I connect to, depending on what city/office I'm in.
Any assistance would be appreciated !

Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller

Wi-Fi Connection Issue at Startup When NAS configured as Login Item

Hi!
I recently ran into internet connection issue during startup. I managed to find the culprit (it's the firewall) but I believe there should be more behind just blaming the firewall for it.
Before I go any further, it would be best if I try to explain the setup that I have. Also, note that I'm a newbie when it comes to terms like DHCP, IP address, IPv4, IPv6, etc. I think I may have an idea what they do, but I'm not quite sure whether that idea jibes with the real thing. Whatever. Anyways, here's the setup.
For the internet connection at my place, I use a Cisco wifi router and an Airport Extreme Base Station. The Cisco router has been set up to have its own wi-fi network, while the Airport Extreme Base Station is connected to the Cisco router using ethernet. I set up a separate wi-fi network for the Airport Extreme Base Station and almost all of my devices are connected using the Airport Extreme's wi-fi network.
I have 3 external hard drives connected to a USB hub, which in turn is connected to the Airport Extreme base station.
2 Macbooks. One is a white, late 2007 MacBook running Lion. The other is a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I turned the firewall on for both Macbooks.
Initially, there was no problem connecting to the internet and also the 3 external hard drives from the Airport Extreme. I did the wireless connecting to the external hard drives manually after startup (open finder > navigate to airport extreme at the sidebar > click on the hard drives one by one until the eject icon and folders are shown). You can imagine how soon this got annoying for me (yeah, I shutdown my macbooks everytime I finish with them, it's a habit). So I put these external hard drives as a login item at startup (in the system preference setting for accounts) so that I won't have to do this everytime I start my macbooks.
This is where it got interesting.
For my MBPro, during startup the wi-fi icon at the menu bar will show that it was trying to connect and then the '!' symbol is shown. When I go to system preference > network, there was a message about self-assigned IP. I notice that it starts with 169, which is not the usual IP assigned to devices in my home network. This, however, usually did not last long. Soon enough the '!' symbol is gone and the wi-fi connection becomes normal with finder windows popping up showing folders for the external drives. It's a minor annoyance, waiting for the '!' symbol to go away (I think it got something to do with DHCP settings sent from the router and the self-assigned IP address, but again I'm not sure), but at least the MBPro can connect in the end.
For my white MB though, things didn't go well. The '!' remains in the wi-fi icon and there was no internet connection, no matter how long I waited. Even after removing the external drives from login items the problem persists during startup. If I remember correctly sometimes there is a pop-up saying that the computer could not connect to the airport extreme server (this also happens on the MBPro).
I initially tried resetting the wi-fi setup (removing the network from the list of known network in system preference > network, removing the wi-fi network password from keychain access) to no avail (in both macbooks). As mentioned above, I also tried to remove the network hard drives from login item but even after that the connection problem persisted in my white Macbook, while the MBPro initially showed the same symptom before finally managing to connect with the proper IP address.
Finally, after googling through forums some people suggested that turning off the firewall might work. I did so, and voila, it did remedy the situation. Both Macbooks manage to connect to the internet during startup without any fuss, and both even manage to connect to the network drives during startup (I put them in again as login items to see if it would cause further trouble).
So, the firewall was the culprit. But it only started acting up AFTER I put the network drives as login items.
Can anyone explain the cause of this?
Anyways, thanks for reading!

Make sure you are using the passkey found on the Homehub and not your email password. You may need to "Forget" the connection on the phone and scan again then enter passkey.

Oracle Connectivity Issue

Hi,
We have installed Oracle 11g in our system. We were able to connect to the database instance, sql plus and all. Suddenly yesterday onwards we were not able to connect to the instance. It is throwing error such as
"An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Vendor code 20"
I have found many solutions for the same in the net such as
1) Run the listener service again (Already it is running in windows services. Even if I restarted it, no use)
2)Adding the user_dedicated_server=ON in sqlnet.ora for the server which is mentioned as SERVER = DEDICATED in tnsnames.ora file
3)Not able to open sql plus or start the listener from command prompt. (its throwing error Message 1070 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNSTNS-12557: Message 12557 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
TNS-12560: Message 12560 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
TNS-00527: Message 527 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS)
4)In oracle enterprise manager, its showing the error for the agent connection such as
Status Failed
Details ORA-12541: TNS:no listener (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
Please let us know what to do???
Thanks In Advance....

Is this behavior specific to using Oracle Providers for ASP.NET? Are you able to connect via sqlplus from the same client machine? If this is a basic client connectivity issue unrelated to the ASPNET providers, you'll probably want to post in a different forum. What behavior do you get if you try to connect from SQLPlus?

Migration manager Can't find Mac

I have a new iMac i7 with 10.8.2 and I can't get Migration Manager to see my old G4-733 Power Mac (bought new in 2001).
The old Mac has 10.4.11 and I've installed the CD/DVD update.
I had them connected (wired) to an Airport Extreme and they don't find each other.
I then tried the FireWire Target Disc mode. The PowerMac shows up on the new iMac desktop, but Migration Manager still can't find it.
Normally, I would just copy the Library and Prefs but this is too different.
Help!

You must use a FireWire cable for Tiger. Here is the procedure for your reference:
Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger to OS X Lion
Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 computers to OS X Lion over your Wi-Fi or a wired network is not supported. However, if both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port, you can use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data:
Verify that both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port. Note that different model Macs may have different FireWire connectors, which will require an appropriate cable, such as FireWire 400 to FireWire 800.
On the Mac you want to transfer data from, Restart, and immediately hold the T key.
Wait for the FireWire logo to appear on the screen. If it does not, restart and try again.
Connect both Macs via the FireWire cable.
On the Mac you want to transfer data to, Open the Migration Assistant application.
Select the option "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" and click Continue.
Select the option "From a Time Machine backup or other disk" and click Continue.
Select your other Mac's volume, such as "Macintosh HD", from the list, and click Continue
I have yet to confirm this will work with Mountain Lion though. I have to go to a couple other systems to verify whether it does or not and I will let you know. Give me a few minutes.

JCaps 5.1.2 HL7 Connectivity issues

Using the HL7Inbound and HL7Outbound projects, we are experiencing several major HL7 eway connectivity issues:
Inbound:
1. The Enterprise Manager does not report the external connection state.
We need to deternime the real- time external connection state.
2. Alerts are not reported in the Enterprise Manager for external disconnects.
3. When the external disconnects, the eway accepts the re-connect, but does not recieve the data. the external reports a timeout.
In order to receive new data, we have to disable and enable the project.
4. When an external connects, netstat reports an additional LISTEN as well as the ESTABLISHED connection. There are also stale CLOSE_WAIT states for past connections. See netstat below:
testican.mgh.harvard.edu.8888 devican.mgh.harvard.edu.60314 49640 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT
testican.mgh.harvard.edu.8888 devican.mgh.harvard.edu.61712 49640 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT
testican.mgh.harvard.edu.8888 devican.mgh.harvard.edu.62561 49640 0 49640 0 CLOSE_WAIT
*.8888 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
testican.mgh.harvard.edu.8888 devican.mgh.harvard.edu.63206 49640 136 49640 0 ESTABLISHED
Outbound:
1. the outbound HL7 eway does not connect unless there is data to send.
We need to auto connect to the external as soon as the project is deployed.
2. The same external state connection reporting issue as the Inbound exists for the outbound as well.
No reports for realtime external connection status, or alerts.
We have been using datagate and egate/SRE for 15 years and have not experienced these type of major issues with HL7 eways.
If anyone has experienced any of these issues, and can provide feedback or possible recommendations, we would appreciate it.
As is stands now, JCaps for HL7 is unuseable.
Thanks for any feedback

1. We initally installed ICAN/JCaps 5.0.5, but did not deploy the HL7 Projects. Version 5.1.2 was released when we were ready to begin our pilot projects. Nearly all our 300+ interfaces are HL7.
2. SRE 5.0.4, as well as egate 4.5.3.
We also have TRE 5.0.1.
Thanks
