More blob woes - POL-4200

I'm trying to insert a BLOB in a table. I carry out the following steps.
1) create a new record with an empty blob in it
2) select this record to obtain the blob locator
3) load the blob data
I'm doing this using jdbc (olite40.jar). I disable auto-commit on the connection. I create the new record in step 1. However step 2 throws the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [POL-4200] invalid action for transaction operation
My sql for step 2 is like "select blobColumn from table where id = ? for update nowait". When I remove the "nowait" it works.
Can anybody enlighten me as to what is wrong with the "nowait"?
My approach was tested against oracle 8i, where it worked fine, and I'm porting it to lite 9i.
Thanks.

Hi Paul,
Oracle Lite is not certified with 10.1.3.x SOA Suite, see

More printer woes?

Hi, everyone - I have looked through the thread and seen that printing problems are common with Leopard, but I've never seen anything like this! I was able to get the library's new iMac printing perfectly - I just had to be sure it was recognizing the printer it was actually attached to! (We have 4 computers in the teen room, linked to three hp 810s - the eMacs are networked).
But, when I bring our lovely new macbook in there and hook it up to the very same printer the iMac uses, it simply won't print. I get a message saying there was a fatal error and the printer connection failed. All we can do is to save stuff onto a flash drive and bring it over to the iMac or one of the pcs (for adobe and word files) and print that way.
We'd love to be able to print directly from the macbook. Why on earth can't we?!!

What we've done is to unhook the usb cable from the iMac and hook it to the macbook. It's a stand alone printer, and we make sure the cable is firm. Then we open whatever file it is (we've tried in word and print shop, both of which are installed on both machines). And it won't print. We get the "fatal error" message I've described above. We can print those very same files from the iMac after we transfer them, though there I think I'm having the postscript problem. But the macbook simply refuses to connect to the printer at all. That's the problem.
Again, there's nothing wrong with the usb cable, it's firmly plugged in, and it's a standalone printer.
Thanks for your response. Can you think of anything I should try, like maybe looking for printer drivers on the macbook?
Unless we had out of date drivers, I've never come across anything remotely like this in any earlier version of OS X - or any version of the mac OS. Printers just used to work! I'm very frustrated that this doesn't seem to be so any more.

More camera woes (LCAB03VLNOD )

After jumping through all kinds of hoops I have set up Windows 7 under VMWARE (6.05) on my Mac. The problem is that the 'live view' does not show any image. I have installed the ActiveX plugin and I am running DirectX 9.x and all that. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? thanks.

Of course, right now I'm doing the web series both for creative fun and to get some road behind me. Since I'm weary of slinging code for a living, I wouldn't mind getting into the video world and following that path.
Chief among the things I don't know about making a living creating video for others is how to find the business and what it pays. Offering up post services could be fun, but that leans towards commodity thinking these days since every yahoo with a computer and some software (you know, like me) is offering post.
I would think that the ability to produce final product for clients would allow for more value add and perhaps make it easier to stand out a bit from at least some of the competition.
Ultimately, however, it all comes down to a) where is the business b) what does it pay and c) how do people go about getting the work?

More iPlayer woes

I've now had iPlayer for 10 days or so and I've not managed to watch a single programme without it freezing and kicking me out. I then have to start over, and the fast-forward is woeful at getting back to the right place.
I've given it a chance and tried to persevere with iPlayer, I really have, but it simply doesn't work. I'm now just going to have to record everything on BBC as I really can't be bothered putting the effort into trying to use a system that is quite frankly, rubbish.
Someone in a previous thread mentioned that iPlayer was a retrograde step and I wholeheartedly agree.

I have to say I'm becoming increasingly less impressed with Iplayer on BT the more I use it. My main reasons why are:
Freezing mid programme - this is happening more and more now it's been fully rolled out. It normally sorts itself out in seconds
Picture quality - frankly it's awful, particularly on a fast-moving image. Examples of this I have seen are the animations on 'Total Wipeout' and crowd scenes on T in the Park / Glastonbury coverage where it appears to skip frames resulting in a 'jerky' image
No resume option - the lack of ability to resume programmes from where you last got to is a big miss in my view when compared with the browser version of Iplayer. Fast forward is unpredicatable so it's a pain to get back to where you were
No 'Last watched' option - which is available on the PC version of iplayer. Would help with the resume option previously mentioned too
The thing is I don't know who's in control of this version of Iplayer - whether it's BT, the BBC or a bit of both so who do you go to. Apologies if all this has been covered in other threads but I thought I'd try and get all my concerns down in one place. It's a shame as Iplayer on BT Vision should be brilliant and I have no doubt it will be in the long run.

More JDBC Woes

I am plugging along on this Foreign JDBC driver project (IBM AS/400 Connectivity). Through the answer of my previous question I have been able to create my Entity/View beans. When I try and test them by creating a module and using the "test" menu option through the IDE environment I get the error "No Suitable Driver".
Is there a way to get around this? For kicks I created a JSP application using this business component to test. When I click on the items I get a JDBC connectivity error of some kind.
I am fairly impressed with JDeveloper and would like to continue to use. If I can get through this then I will be convinced.
Thanks Again

After working with this problem some more I did notice that the above error isn't the first error received...
When I run the test option -- after getting a signon screen I get...
oracle.jbo.DMLException: JBO-26061: Error while opening JDBC connection.
Then when the error window is displayed I am getting no suitable driver...
Hope this clarifies...

More Airport Woes

Hi Folks, ive just registered in an attempt to solve the mystery of the unresponsive airport on my 2008/2009 ally unibody macbook.
Please go easy on me as this has seen me very much "in at the deep end" regarding the inner workings of my Mac
Like many others i am getting a situation where the "fan" in the top bar shows empty indicating Airport is switched off and then it won't switch on. After a lot of forum searching i managed to get it working again by removing the 3 Airport preference files, clearing the trash and restarting, as suggested on here and another forum. But this only works for a finite period of time, sometimes 36 hours, sometimes 36 seconds! every other suggestion has had no effect (PRAM? reset, SMC reset, deleting automatic location in preferences)
Can anyone tell me if im missing something as it appears to my untrained mind that the files are fine when OSX rebuilds them but they quickly get corrupted, necessitating yet another delete.
Many thanks in advance

Ok... I am thinking... only ten min?... hmmm... it should be on all the time.... ok... i think i have a reason... yes you are correct that if the network is reset from your computer if you delete the network settings, then re add it. It could also be the router I am using an airport extreme - time capsule (TC) but all routers are pretty much the same. But lets focus on the computer, and not mess with the router unless we really need to. I like Lion, but you are in constant use of a track pad on your computer - which I dont mind - and I own a laptop. The direction of the gestures on the trackpad threw me at first, and I had to change the default settings in the system prefs. There are a lot of under the hood improvements at the same time there are some liked and not liked visual improvements (but I am open minded and leaning more to liking it and learning new things all the time). If you dont have it, and thinking of getting it make sure your your computer has at least a system that has a core 2 duo processor. I have 3 gigs of ram on mine, I am not sure what the min for ram is but being the system has more under the hood muscle - I tend to (most time) keep my computer at my desk on a Griffin stand but some time use it on the bed or couch or at the dinner table. The machine runs the same maybe some warmer, which does not bother me. I understand the processors made after the core 2 duo are able to handle the muscle of the OS easier. I also religiously back up my computer using the built in hard drive in my router, but many of my friends just carry with them an external hard drive that they connect at least once a day and we all use the program Time Machine in the system prefs. If you have any applications that use the Rosetta archichetecher - they will not work anymore. I knew this was coming since 10.4.11 so it is not a bad thing. Apple is going all 64 bit and is 99 percent there (the third party apps have to catch up- although most applications have headed there already) but the hardware is already 64 bit. Everything has to be 64 bit because the next processors ten to 15 years down the line are going to be 128 bit (just like the gaming computers revolutiionezed) To check your apps go to http://roaringapps.com/ If there not listed then your apps will not work. I use Office 2008 and I have not had any problems even though they say there may be few minor ones. I also use a lot iWorks '11 and more and more are using the latter. Overall I do like Lion, but see if you could play with it at a store before you buy it (it is similar in looks to snow lepard - some - but some people are complaining for nonsense or in their minds big reasons especially since the OS X (Lion) is a power horse, and it also has some getting use to as well as some under the hood changes are going on for the first week you have the computer
... Oh i looked for the system profiler but i think it is now called system Infomation in Lion ( not sure) ok ( it may not be the right reason for your dilema but ... try this go system prefs and and click network, click the advanced button check to see if you have to networks by the same name. If so delete one or both of them under the first tab (prefered networks - its the first tab for me). Also under the . TCP/IP tab click the Renew DHCP button. If this does not work, try resetting network again - delete the location, go to automatic, then go to assist me then hit apply... let me know. I am curious.
also have you run disk utility?

More Xserve woes...

Since I'm asking about the SATA card... I would like to know if anyone else has heard of the reason why it went out.
Apparently, there had been a problem with certain Hitachi hard drives in the G5 Xserve (ours were purchased in 2004) frying the SATA cards when hot-swapping. We have two identical servers (itchy and scratchy) that have both lost the SATA cards. Scratchy began making a long, slow beeping when it got to the spinning gear in the start-up process, even when starting from the CD (at first it would run from the CD, while beeping, but finally wouldn't start at all). Before I realized what was happening, I swapped the start-up disk with Itchy and guess what? Itchy started doing the same thing!!
I have Scratchy running right now off of a firewire drive, without the SATA card installed, and he is perfectly happy. I'm going to replace the cards and possibly the drives, but I would just like to know if anyone has heard of this phenomenon or if I am just an anomaly!

Trent Evans-
This particular option does not fall into my area of scientific speciality.
Tis a bummer though when troubleshooting and you move the trouble, no?
Certainly someone with more knowledge about this will have some input to share.

More mail woes

Hi all-
I have been having a great deal of pain trying to get the "mail" to work on my IPT. I use Charter and have got to the point when I press the mail button, a screen comes up that says "Inbox". The little spinning wheel at the top spins awhile then I get the error message The connection to the server "mail.charter.net failed. If I press "Inbox" I get a message that says "load 25 more messages.... but no messages are ever displayed. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks-
DMitzelfeldt

Hi!
If you are using "other" on the IPT for MAIL then you are probably going thru the same frustration I was with the "connection to server" failure message right? So I called both Apple and my ISP and neither could figure it out, Apple said it just won't work with my ISP, case closed. Not so fast I figured it on my own, here's what I did and it works fine now:
1. Connect IPT to your PC
2. In iTunes go to the INFO tab on the IPT screen
3. Scroll down to "Advanced" and check "Mail Accounts" on.
4. Sync your IPT
Disconnect IPT
Now check your Mail settings on the IPT, there should be one account.
Here's what I have and strange as it seems it works fine.
POP Account Information
Name: My Name
Address: My e-mail address
Description: e-mail address again
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name pop.ISPNAME.ca
User Name: My ISP User Name
Password: My Password (******)
Outgoing Mail Server
Nothing is filled in for any of those options - all blank
Advanced
Everything is off!
Try that and good luck!

More iTunes woes

I thought that if I synced a little more frequently I could avoid some of the problems iTunes throws up (eg wanting to wipe my iPad clean for a laugh).
I plugged it in today and it's just spent ages transferring gigabytes of apps to my Mac .... that are already on my Mac and have been for ages!
Why is it doing that???

"If possible, I'd like a solution that doesn't require reinstalling iTunes or updating iTunes, because I get an installation error message with iTunes whenever I try to do that (great program)."
That's not exactly a realistic expectation. Try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Make sure it's a new and fresh download from:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
See if any of these help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302538
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302775
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
If not mentioned in the articles, make a new user account in Windows XP and see if iTunes opens. That will tell you if there's something funky in your main account (if the new user works), or if you have a system-wide issue.

More localization woes - upside down question marks.

With some effort, I am able to load variable values from the database based on the language the user has selected, and display those variable values in my column headings and the like (see thread How are session variables used for localization? for that process).
However I can only display ASCII values!!
I can load my translations with the strings "(ENGLISH)" and "(JAPANESE)", and based on whether the user selected English or Japanese, my column headings will in fact show the strings "(ENGLISH)" and "(JAPANESE)".
Great!
Except, when I load my database with what Japanese text, all I get in the UI is upside-down question marks.
I'm using a tool to load this Japanese text into the DB written by someone else who swears(! ) this tool writes data into the DB in a format that is known to have worked for OBIEE Localization. On inspection I find this Japanese is in Unicode.
I have written a Java app that reads the Japanese text back from the DB. When I inspect the String contents in the debugger, the data returned from the ResultSet does look like the Unicode data in the original text file. So the data looks good (?) in the DB.
In the debugger, the character values in the String equate to these hex values:
0x30B5
0x30FC
0x30D3
(8 characters worth, 16 bytes).
But now how do I turn these 0x30B5 Unicode characters into Japanese in the OBIEE UI?
I am testing this in OBIEE with Japanese (Nihongo) selected. Most of OBIEE switches to Japanese just fine. It's not a local display issue. But my variables with Unicode values display as nothing but upside-down question marks. D'oh!!
Thanks for any help!
- OBIEE 10.1.3.4
- Oracle DB 10g
- DB is set to use UTF-8 charset.

Never mind. I think it's working.

More iMac Woes

I posted a question earlier today after something really weird happened this morning. I pressed the power on button and it took about 10 seconds before I even heard the startup chime on my iMac - heard some really weird noises on startup as well almost like the hard drive or fan (I actually thought the iMac was dead and didn't expect it to even boot). To make a long story short, I did a PRAM Reset, a safe boot and also reset the SMU. Things seemed fine after that. I noticed when I got this 27-Inch iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 at the end of February that it takes a little longer to start up from the actual time I press the power on button to the actual time I hear the startup chime. Maybe about 3 or 4 seconds or so. No big deal. I thought that this was just the way the new ones function. My older 3.06GHz 24-inch iMac was much faster in this regard.
This machine has been trouble-free until today. After doing the PRAM Reset, a safe boot and resetting the SMU, I'm now getting some really odd behaviour - my Magic Mouse has become very erratic, jumping all over the place, hard to select and drag files out of windows, almost like the iMac has become less responsive and "sluggish" or "sloppy" and I'm getting all sorts of strange messages in the console system log (my console system log has been as clean as a whistle since the day I got this iMac up until today):
On every startup:
Apr 13 18:17:30 myMac warmd[16]: [fetcheropenfile:936] open("/var/db/dyld/dyldshared_cache_x8664") => -1 (errno: 2)
On every few startups:

Apr 13 15:41:52 myMac kextd[10]: updated kernel boot caches
Some other messages as well - can't seem to find them at the moment.
And now I get this every time I run Firefox:
Apr 13 17:16:15 myMac /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin[149]: ATS AutoActivation: Disable Font ID 66381 (Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT) because it doesn't belong to family "Stone Sans Sem OS ITCTT".

What the... all this from just doing a PRAM Reset, a safe boot and resetting the SMU?
Is anyone familiar with these errors and is there something I else I can try to get this machine running smoothly again? I've run AHT, repaired permissions, verified the disk, ran Tech Tool Pro 5.0.7. No problems found.

What you did shouldn't cause those messages. Boot from your Install DVD holding down the 'C' key. When the Install panel loads, go to the menu bar to select Tools -> Disk Utility. Run Verify Permissions and Verify Disk; then run Repair Permissions and Repair Disk if required on your boot disk.
Hope you have a good backup of your disk in case it is beginning to fail.

More x64 woes wtih Crystal Reports 2008

I have an application that has been in production for a few years and has its first user with an X64 machine. My developmnet machine is x64 and I have worked out all of my developmnet issues.
The application is built in Visual Studio 2008. It has a variety of DLLs. About 20 of these dlls each contain a winform and a Crystal Report. These dlls are "FieldTests" (fieldtest_a.dll, fieldtest_b.dll, etc.). Each of these dlls depends on a single dll called "FieldTestBaseClasses.dll". There are a number of other dlls in the app containing business logic and then the main UI which is an winform EXE application.
When trying to open reports, the X64 user gets the familiar message: "An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime. Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient, or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly. Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required."
I know about this problem and have solved it in the past by just changing the application's target CPU to x86. However, this app has about 30 assemblies and I have done this but it doesn't solve the problem.
I have spent 2 days experimenting with this and have come to teh conclusion that all of the assemblies in the application must target the same CPU. However, if my main exe targets x86, it renders my manifest invalid and I can't install the application.
I have rolleld everyting back so that everything in the app works except for running the crystal reports. Luckily, this still functions properly on teh x86 machines.
I need a way to solve this without messing up the rest of the application. My client is very unhappy and has asked me if there is another reporting tool I can use.
Any guidance you can give me would be much appreciated.

Hi and thanks for the quick response. I am aware of the fact that there is no x64 runtime which is why we need to specifically target x86 in our applications.
I'm not deploying from a server.
The known resolution is that I have to now change the clickonce deployment itself to x86 which will wreak havoc on my client's deployment. The automatic click-once updates will fail for every user and everyone will have to uninstall the application and then install it again from the original source.
Because the application is widely deployed and is used by remote users who are not computer savvy, this is going to be very disruptive.
I was hoping that perhaps SAP had rethought their x64 support or provided some other type of solution.
Thanks
julie

More Wireless Woes [solved]

There's a lot on these fora about wireless, but I haven't been able to figure this out. So forgive me if someone else has solved this problem elsewhere, but I didn't recognize it when I saw it, I guess.
I have a Broadcom BCM4306 wireless adapter. I followed the instructions here, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless , for the bcm43xx module, which I've added to /etc/rc.conf, and it shows up in lsmod. Then, I set up rc.conf as follows:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth1="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan_eth0="eth0 essid [networkid] key [likei'mgoingtotypeithere]"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(eth0)
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
The wireless adapter shows up as eth0 because the rc.conf module list runs before udev gets the wired NIC going, so wireless is always eth0.
Unfortunately, nothing has worked yet. Most of the time, iwconfig doesn't show an essid. It usually picks up the wireless key, and sometimes shows the right essid if I give it the key first (by iwconfig eth0 key xxxxx then iwconfig eth0 essid xxxxxx). Here is a typical iwconfig output:
eth0 IEEE 802.11b/g ESSID:"" Nickname:"Broadcom 4306"
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.437 GHz Access Point: Invalid
Bit Rate=1 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:xxxx-xxxx-xx Security mode:open
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Doing iwconfig eth0 power on gives this error:
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2D) :
GET failed on device eth0 ; Operation not supported.
ifconfig shows eth0 having a valid MAC address (00:0D:0B:CF:EB:0F), which I guess is relevant.
This is my first adventure in the land of Linux wireless. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
John

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop with an internal Dell wlan mini pci card (Truemobile 1390) that uses the Broadcom 4311 chipset. I've tried to get this card working in half a dozen different Linux distros with the native Linux driver bcm43xx that's provided as a kernel module plus the firmware cutter software bcm43xx-fwcutter. I've had no luck with this. However, I've had good luck using a Windows driver running via ndiswrapper. You may want to try that route. For me it works well for 128-bit WEP encryption. I haven't tried WPA encryption as yet; it may work for that too.
Here's what you'd have to do.
1. Connect your machine to WAN through the wired ethernet interface that almost certainly will be supported by Arch.
2. Get the Windows driver for your wireless card, e.g. from the support CD that came with your card (it would be in the WinXP directory) or from the web if you don't have the CD. To find it on the web, search http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/medi … x.php/List for BCM4306 or for the pciid of your card, or go to the card manufacturer's website. The Windows driver consists of two files with extensions .inf and .sys. Perhaps the widely available standard driver bcmwl5.inf & bcmwl5.sys that I use for the BCM4311 would be appropriate for your card. Put the driver folder on your Desktop.
3. Install ndiswrapper-1.26-1 and ndiswrapper-utils-1.26-1 by running
# pacman -Sy ndiswrapper
4. Bring down the wired ethernet interface eth0:
# ifconfig eth0 down
5. Navigate to the folder on your Desktop that holds the Windows driver files and run
# ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf (or whatever the name is of the .inf driver file)
6. To check whether the driver has been installed (it should be in /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5, some two dozen files)
# ndiswrapper -l
If all is well, this should say: "driver installed; hardware present"
7. To insert the ndiswrapper kernel module run
# modprobe ndiswrapper
The LED for your card should come on.
8. To check whether the kernel module is running run
# lsmod | grep ndiswrapper
9. To bring up the wireless interface wlan0 run
# iwconfig wlan0 essid name_of_your_wireless_access_point channel number_of_your_channel
key your_WEP_key_in_hexadecimal open
10. To get an IP address via DHCP run
# dhcpcd wlan0
11. To set up a route to the internet gateway run
# route add default gw 192.168.0.1 (substitute you gateway's IP address here)
12. To check the connection run
# ifconfig (do you have an IP address?)
# iwconfig (does everything look all right?)
# ping google.com (can you connect to Google?)
You should have a connection now.
To make this setup permanent and initialize the wireless interface on bootup, edit the following two files.
/etc/conf.d/wireless
wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid name_of_your_wireless_access_point channel number_of_your_channel
key your_WEP_key_in_hexadecimal open"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(wlan0)
/etc/rc.conf
MODULES=(ndiswrapper)
HOSTNAME="your_hostname"
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo wlan0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1" (substitute you gateway's IP address here)
ROUTES=(gateway)
Then run # /etc/rc.d/network restart or reboot. You should be all set. If you use the wired interface too (which should be eth0), you can add that later.

More WiFi woes

Hope someone here can help.
I have a 20" (white case) iMac running Leopard 10.5.1 and Windows XP Home under Bootcamp. I use bootcamp to play online games. Until I upgraded to leopard, using Bootcamp Beta I had no problems. Since upgrading my internet connection in windows fluctuates. It starts off at 11MBps and everything works fine, it then steps down to 5MBps and then eventually to 1MBps. At this point the wireless connection shows as very good, but if I am in game I get disconnected, and if I am not in game I lose access to the internet. Usually after a while the connection goes back up to 11MBps and I am able to carry on. Sometimes I have to 'Repair' the connection to force this to happen.
I have tried updating the drivers from the leopard DVD.
My connection is perfectly stable in MacOS.
When I lose connection like this I cannot access the routers config pages either.
I have gone through the threads on this forum, and I am currently trying the linksys 300N drivers suggested in one of the threads.
I will post my findings after I have time to test them.

The Linksys 300N drivers worked. I now connect at 24MBps in Windows and get no drop outs at all. Tested for about 6 hours so far over 3 days.

More wireless woes

Our frustration began with a black MacBook purchased in June of '08 (an older black MacBook running Tiger has no problems). This particular MacBook constantly had connection problems—either weak signal, dropped connections, or very slow. Now we have added a late '08 aluminum MacBook and a similar vintage MacBook Pro to our household. Neither of these will connect to our D-Link wireless router (WPA-Personal encryption). Meanwhile, every other computer in the house—a Dell, '06 MacBook Pro (10.5.6), '07 white MacBook (10.5.7), G4 iBook (10.4.11), and XBox Live—connect flawlessly. These 2 newer computers will not recognize our WPA password or connect (connection times out). If by some slim chance I do get connected, heaven help me if the computer sleeps as this will render any earlier connection null and void. One of the only ways I've been able to get a connection is to go through Network Diagnostics, which, despite the fact that it tells me that it can't connect, will avail me a connection. The wireless problem seems to be getting worse with each newer model. Am I overlooking something obvious? What used to be a no-brainer is now stretching our patience. Macs just connected. Period. That no longer seems to be the case.
