Multiple network connections
On MacPro 3,1, have 2 ethernet connections plus Airport wireless. Have iStat widget which shows only one with connection activity. Can all three work simultaniously? Sort of multiplex to increase bandwidth.
All three obviously have different IP addresses. Can all connect to same site on differnt ports or something like that? Or will they only connect to different site addresses, if that?
Matt Clifton-
You are quite right, but Apple did not put the proper emphasis on the Last Line of that article, which is the "tragic flaw" in this method.
LACP must be supported on all link aggregation devices involved.**
**Most consumer-grade Routers do not support LACP.
So this will not work for the vast majority of users. You Mac normally sends all Internet-bound traffic to ONLY the interface at the top of the list in:
System Preferences > Network
The second Ethernet port can be very useful in sharing your Ethernet connection with others without having to add another switch, or for Network-Attached Storage.

How can I use multiple network connections concurrently?
I'm using a Macbook, connected to a corporate network via Ethernet and to a private ADSL connection via Airport. What I want to be able to do is use the Airport connection for specific apps (Firefox, Safari, RDP etc) and the Ethernet connection for anything that needs to access any internal resources (Exchange etc).
From what I've tried, the OS presents the primary connection (set via the Service Order configuration) to the application and nothing else. For example when Firefox is set to not use a proxy I can't access anything, unless the Airport is given priority. But when the Airport is set as the higher priority adapter via the Service Order then I can't access any of the internal network.
Is there any way to work around this or am I stuck chopping and changing whenever I need to get out to the Internet directly?The highest priority service is the Internet connection. Anything that would go to the internet uses that service. However, you still should be able to access the internal network via Ethernet.
For example when Firefox is set to not use a proxy I can't access anything, unless the Airport is given priority.
That make sense
But when the Airport is set as the higher priority adapter via the Service Order then I can't access any of the internal network.
You should be able to at least access file servers. -
Handle multiple network connections
Hello fellow java developers.
I'm having a bit of problem with an application of mine, it's rather simple but I just can't get it to work because I need to handle two connections at once. One Socket and one URLConnection.
I spent all day yesterday to try and find out how to do this. I'm guessing I will need to use Threads to achieve this?
I will post a compressed version of the code here, because it's too big. I hope you get the idea anyways.
// Init server connection, this need to be kept alive during the whole program.
Socket server = new Socket(host, port);
BufferedWriter out = new PrintWriter(server.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(echoSocket.getInputStream()));
// some code
* This is where to problem is. This method in itself (tweenAuth()) is setting up a new URLConnection to another server
* and sends/recieves some HTTP. After this method is run it should return a value (and it does) to use in the already
* existing socket connection.
ticket = tweenAuth();
out.println("some code to send to server");
resp = in.readLine(); // ERROR, CANNOT USE THIS STREAM ANYMORE.So basically, I can't use the inputstream anymore after running that method. If anyone can give me a hint here I would be greatful.
Thanks in advance.The variables "in" & "out" are in fact, static variables declared in the beginning.
I will post the tweenAuth() method. (Yes, I realize it's messy but it does what I want it too)
public static String tweenAuth(String challengeStr) throws IOException
try {
URL url = new URL("https://nexus.passport.com:443/rdr/pprdr.asp");
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
String passportURLs = "verynull";

if(passportURLs.equals("verynull"))
System.out.println("Couldn't authenticate with Tweener (Step 1)");
closeConnection();
System.exit(0);
int vr1 = (passportURLs.indexOf(",") + 1) + (passportURLs.indexOf("=") + 1);
int vr2 = passportURLs.substring(vr1).indexOf(",");
String DALogin = passportURLs.substring(vr1, (vr1 + vr2));
url = new URL("https://login.live.com/login2.srf");
conn = url.openConnection();
String signin = URLEncoder.encode(email, "UTF-8");
password = URLEncoder.encode("*censored*", "UTF-8");
String auth = "Passport1.4 OrgVerb=GET,OrgURL=http%3A%2F%2Fmessenger%2Emsn%2Ecom,sign-in=";
auth += signin;
auth += ",pwd=" + password + "," + challengeStr;

authenticationInfo = headerValue;

Our home network has multiple devices connected by iCloud: 2 iMacs, 2 iPhone 4s, 1 MacPro Laptop, and 1 iPad 2. When using Calendar, all the events were
duplicated on my husbands iMac. On his computer, under Calendar accounts, I had included iCloud and also my iCloud ID. I thought that because I had two accounts listed that were connected to iCloud, that might be the cause of the duplication. When I deleted ithe calendars from one of the accounts, it resulted
in deleting all of the events on all of our network devices!
I have since entered some new events into Calendar from my iMac and from my iPhone. These appear correctly on all devices except my husband's iMac where they are again all duplicated.
I have two questions: 1) How can I eliminate the duplicated events on my husband's computer and 2) How do I retrieve the old wiped out Calendar events from
Time Capsule. I don't know how to find Calendar in the Time Capsule. If I find the Calendar information in Time Capsule, how do I transfer it to my current Calendars?
I was obtaining phone help from one of the Apple techs at Apple Support, but our call was disconnected part way through. Didn't know how to reconnect with the tech.
Thanks for any help.The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

WRT610N - connected to multiple networks?
Hi all, I bought and set up one of these routers yesterday and initially my laptop reported it was connected to multiple networks, same SSID but different antennae, it meant I could switch between 2.4 and 5.0 GHz without dropping connection and obviously had great connection strength. But after a shut down and restart it will now only connect to one antenna at a time. Which is the correct way for the connection to work, should it be connected to only one antenna at a time?
Thanks in advance.I've obviously not been clear, when I set up the router yesterday I set different SSIDs for the two bands, LINKSYS1 for 5GHz and LINKSYS2 for 2.4GHz. When I connected to LINKSYS1 I got 2 connections simultaneously, one labelled "LINKSYS1" and another lablled "LINKSYS1 2" both providing a 5GHz connection. I also had another connection at one point called "LINKSYS1 3". Exact same thing happened when I connected to the 2.4GHz band "LINKSYS2" (i.e. I had 2 connections labelled "LINKSYS2" and "LINKSYS2 2" both providing a 2.4GHz connection). Hovering over the network icon showed 2 connections and network and sharing center showed connected to multiple networks. When I restarted it this morning it's only connecting to one and the converage isn't as good (could get 100% signal from outside last night and stream DVD iso's but it's buffering quite a bit today). I've googled it and some other people have mentioned the same thing but they seemed to think it was a fault, but it gave me better coverage than I'm getting today. What I was asking was which is the correct way for it to operate, as one connection or multiple connections.

Windows takes an obscenely long time to establish a network connection after booting
Often, when I reboot my machine for whatever reason, it boots up normally, I log in, it shows my desktop, loads all the icons and then takes upwards of 5 minutes or longer for the networking icon in the taskbar so show that I have network access (shows that
little blue ring). Now, normally I wouldn't think this is much of a problem since I've found a blog at one point detailing how to change the address it's using for that confirmation. However, in this case, I'm unable to use (m)any other windows
services until it decides I'm connected.
For instance, I'm unable to open the registry editor - I'll open the start menu, search for regedit and run it, but will no longer be able to use the search tool in the Start menu until the registry editor appears and that won't appear until the network
configuration decides I'm connected. If I open a browser (doesn't matter if it's Firefox, Chrome or IE), I'm unable to visit any sites - they say I'm not connected. I'm unable to open the Network and Sharing center at all - if I try to left or
right click the network icon in the taskbar, nothing happens. If I try to visit the Network and Sharing center by typing the address in a folder window, it simply never loads until that icon shows I'm connected.
In other words, my computer is pretty unusable until Windows decides I do have an internet connection. A little about that - I've had this problem for about a month now and have experienced it while connected via wire to two different routers (Netgear,
now Linksys E3000). That doesn't seem to be the problem. My connection is perfectly fine at all other times except when my system boots (so it shouldn't be the wires) and I've both kept myself updated with all the latest Win7 patches and firmware for
the netword card + other system components. Oh, and no other computer on my network has this networking issue.
My system is running Windows 7 Professional x64 SP1.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!Maybe try this, i am not sure that it will resolve the problem, but it is worth trying anyways.

Hi All,
I've seen this problem multiple times, especially with Windows 7 64-bit versions and Enterprise edition. The source of the problem appears to be the Bonjour service that is installed in the background and set to "Automatic" when installing certain 3rd
party applications. Apple applications like iTunes and Adobe applications like Acrobat Professional and Creative Suites have been known to cause this problem. I've also seen virtualization software like VMWare and VirtualBox cause similar issues
with network adapters.
The solution in most of the cases I've come across has been to stop and disable the Bonjour service. The Bonjour service also masquerades as a service with a name of the format "##Id_String1.6844F930_blahblahblah". Here's how to disable this service
in Windows 7:
Right-Click on Computer > Select 'Manage'
Expand the 'Services and Applications' section in the bottom of the Left-Nav dialog and Select 'Services'
Sort the Services list by name and look for either "Bonjour" or the "##Id_String..." name mentioned above
Right-Click on the service and select 'Properties'
Click the 'Stop' button to stop the service
Select 'Disabled' from the 'Startup type' drop down list
Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'
Reboot your machine and see if the "Multiple Networks" issue is resolved. If so, you should have internet connectivity again.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

MBP takes long time to restore wired network connection after wake-up
Hello...
My Mid-2010 MBP (MacBookPro6,2) has been experiencing this problem recently -- Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, it needs approximately 10 seconds to restore its wired network connection. I know there are other annoying connection issues with MBP's WiFi/AirPort out there, but I'm talking about the wired connection here.
Maybe some don't even think this slowness is a problem at all, but this laptop used to be network-ready right after wake-up until 3~4 months ago. That was around the time when I upgraded to SSD and changed some settings via pmset, not sure if that's the culprit. It is now running OS X 10.8.5 and its pmset settings are:
Battery Power:
lidwake 1

gpuswitch 2
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

Could not sign in to facetime, network connection error message.
Hi, I have Macbookpro running snowleopard OS X 10.6.8. I purchased facetime 1.0.2 from the app store and am having a problems trying to sign in. I keep getting a message to check with network connection. I have facetime on my ipod touch 5th generation that came with it and was able to use it. I think one can use facetime on more than one device with their account. My itunes account says i have one item waiting to download but i don't know exactly what that item is or if i'll be charged for it. Could that be the facetime app i purchased but needs to be downloaded? Any ideas will be appreciated as i will continue to see how i can get it to work, thanks.

Good morning everybody,
I am writing on behalf of not being able to implement a desired outcome in our company network. In fact the situation is as follows:
What I want to do is to be able to authenticate users (802.1x authentication) in our company radius server and authorize them access by having a dynamic VLAN assignment in a multi-user environment on one and the same port of a Cisco 2960 switch. So far, the authentication and authorization has been working completely smoothly (there are no problems with itself). The concept involves the configuration of both DATA and VOICE VLANs as I there is also phone authentication implemented. In order to simulate this environment I introduce a Dumb switch connected to my Cisco 2960 Catalyst.
What I have successfully managed to get to work so far is this:
1) On one switch port I have tried the “authentication host-mode multi-domain” and it worked perfectly for a PC behind a telephone, or with one PC connected to a the dumb switch + the telephone connected to another port of the dumb switch. Logically it is the same situation as there is a separation in two domains – DATA and VOICE. Bellow is an output from show authentication sessions for this scenario.
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
2) On the other hand, when I try the same scenario with the “authentication host-mode multi-auth”, the switch still separates the traffic in two domains and is able to authenticate all users, AS LONG AS they are in the same VLAN.
show authentication sessions:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
However, I cannot succeed authentication of many users from DIFFERENT VLANs, neither in multi-auth nor in multi-domain modes.
What I want to get is an output like this:
Interface MAC Address Method Domain Status Session ID
Fa0/23 0021.9b62.b79b dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F3008E (user1)
Fa0/23 b888.e3eb.ebac dot1x DATA Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F8008C (user2)
Fa0/23 0015.655c.b912 dot1x VOICE Authz Success C0A8FF69000000F9009F (phone)
I want the switch to authenticate the users anytime they connect to itself and for them to have an instant access to the network. (I tell this because I tried scenario 1) with multi-domain mode and authentication violation replace, and it worked but, two users never had access to the “Internet” simultaneously!!!
The configuration of the interface connected to the Dumb switch is as follows.
interface FastEthernet0/x
description Connection to DUMBswitch
switchport mode access
switchport voice vlan XXX
switchport port-security maximum 10
switchport port-security
switchport port-security violation protect
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication priority dot1x
authentication port-control auto
authentication timer reauthenticate 4000
authentication violation replace
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
spanning-tree portfast
The way I see it is explained in the following steps:
- PC1 connects to the Dumb switch. This causes the Cisco switch to authenticate user1. This creates an auth. session with its MAC address linked to a domain DATA.
- When PC2 connects to the Dumb switch, this causes the violation replace which replaces the recent authenticated MAC address with the MAC of PC2. I would like it once authenticated to appear in the authentication sessions with a link to a new DATA domain linked to the VLAN assigned from the RADIUS server.
Is this possible? I think (in theory) this is the only way to provide authenticated access to multiple users connecting through Dumb switch to the network.
Has anybody ever succeeded in such a configuration example and if yes, I would be love to get some help in doing so?
Thank you
Stoimen HristovHi Stoimen,
I have done a setup similar to yours with the only exception being VLAN assignment. When I used dACLs only, it makes things somewhat easier as the VLAN no longer matters. Remember that the switchport is in access mode and will only allow a single VLAN across it (with the exception of the voice VLAN). I think that is the real cause of your problem.
From what I can see, you have 2 options available to you:
1) Use dACLs instead of VLAN assignment. This means that an access list will be downloaded from the radius server straight to the authenticated user's session. I have tested this and it works perfectly. Just Google Cisco IBNS quick reference guide and look for the section that deals with Low Impact mode.
2) Get rid of the dumb switches and use managed switches throughout your network. Dumb switches will always be a point of weakness in your network because they have no intelligence to do advanced security features like port security, 802.1x, DHCP snooping, etc.
Hopefully someone else will chime in with another option.

Cant login multiple network accounts on the same client?
Setup:
I have created a simple Lion Server on a new i7 Mac Mini. I have configured Open Directory in Master mode and have setup 4 user accounts. I have enabled the File Sharing service and checked the "Make available for home directories" option on the "Users" file share. I have configured each of the 4 user accounts to use this location as the home folder. I have connected my client machines (all OSX Lion) to the Network Account Server.
Problem:
I can log one user into the client machine, but when using "Fast User Switching" and logging on as the second user I get the following error:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "guestaccount" at this time. Loggin to the account failed because an error occured"
In the console if I search for that user account the related error message is:
11-07-31 12:30:54.993 PM authorizationhost: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] | PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://inntaserver01.local/Users, homedir=/Network/Servers/inntaserver01.local/Users/guestaccount, name=guestaccount ) returned 16
Any thoughts as to why the Home Folder "mounter" failed in this scenario?Historically you have never been allowed to use Fast User Switching to log in multiple network logins on the same client machine. This certainly applied with Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. I have not yet personally tried this with Lion.
I believe that the underlying reason for this not being allowed is down to how AFP volumes are mounted. The AFP mount becomes 'owned' by the user that triggers the login. With a network login the first user becomes the owner and this means subsequent attempted network logins are denied access to that share and hence cannot access their home directories.
With Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard servers, one could configure network home directories to be shared via NFS instead of AFP. NFS gets treated a lot different in terms of mounting, and is done more at a system level than a user level. While again I have not personally tried Fast User Switching with NFS shared home directories, this approach is specifically recommended by the authors of AquaConnect (a Macintosh Terminal Server solution) in order to allow multiple logins on the same Terminal Server. This seems to be for the same underlying reason. Using NFS does certainly work for use with AquaConnect and also works for the competing iRAPP Terminal Server product as well.
Unfortunately, Lion Server while it can be made to run an NFS server, will not let you configure using NFS for sharing home directories. I have actually reported this as a 'bug' in Lion server.
Neither the authors of AquaConnect or iRAPP have actually tested this scenario with Lion server yet, but AquaConnect do plan to investigate it. It could make it considerably more difficult to use their products.
So in summary, using NFS to share network home directories in theory would avoid the problem and can be done with a Tiger/Leopard/Snow Leopard server, but cannot be done with a Lion server. It is possible however to mix Lion with older server versions. This might for some people be a possible workaround.
PS. A bonus side-effect of using NFS shared home directories was that this allowed badly written software like Adobe's applications which are otherwise notorious for having major issues with network logins and home directories to work without errors. As an example Adobe Acrobat Pro introduced a bug in version 7.0 which prevented it being able to print-to-PDF (one of the major reasons to buy Acrobat Pro). It tooks two years for them to eventually fix this in Acrobat Pro 8.1 (I know because I spent that two years nagging them to fix it and was a beta tester). Unfortunately they then reintroduced the bug in Acrobat Pro 9.0. Fortunately I discovered this side-effect got round the issue although a clunkier workaround was also possible for Snow Leopard clients by redirecting certain folder paths. -
Creative Cloud losing network connection/deleting files
My team has been using Creative Cloud since June 2014. We work off of macs running OS Mavericks and use an internal server. For months now we have experienced errors mostly in InDesign where we lose our network connection, InDesign crashes, and our files either delete or revert back to the original version despite multiple saves. We have had network and server specialists in and have ruled out any internal connection issues. Could this be a Creative Cloud issue and are there any recommended fixes?
Quote from: NovJoe on 02-March-09, 23:10:05
Force your NIC to run at 100Mbps full duplex and see how it goes.
Check your router / switch ports as well as cables.
I will try 100 Mbps if it happens again. So far, it hasn't occurred after installing the driver supplied by MSI's Web site and not RealTek's Web site. The room temperatures even got warmer like 83F degrees.
As for router and switch, what am I checking for? Other computers didn't have any problems. As for cat5 cables, I already tried another one like I said in my original post. -
Losing network connection on T61 but still showing that I am connected
Hello All,
I am having network connection issues with my T61. On any network I connect to, my downloads will randomly stop, or videos I am watching will stop loading, same with online radio, etc...
The connection will resume after about 30 seconds of being lost but is a major pain especially if I am on a vpn and have to log back in.
My network connection never reports any problems and the icons still show that I am connected.
I have reinstalled all my drivers, ran multiple spyware/virus detection, and tried to trace my network activity with no luck.
The interesting part is that if I am using skype voice my issues disappear. It seems as though the deluge of packets sent by skype forces my connection to stay alive.
Any thoughts? (other than talk to someone on skype all day)
Edit: This happens while using wireless and LAN connectionMake sure data roaming and cellular data is turned off. If you don't want to receive calls or SMS then put your phone in airplane mode and reactivate WiFi

Losing network connection (phone, text, data)
For the past couple of weeks I have had problems losing my network connection affecting phone calls, text messages and data access. The problems seem to be occurring more frequently, and have not been able to identify a consistent pattern yet.
Phone: On 2-3 occasions recently, I have had calls dropped. I see that I have no [phone] network connection. In each case I've been in a location where I frequently make calls. Twice this was while on a major freeway in the SF Bay Area. In each case I do get a signal back, but it takes several minutes until I re-acquire a signal.
Text: On multiple occasions (3-4 in the past week), I have tried to send text messages from my office (in San Jose), where I have not had problems in the past. After waiting for several minutes to re-acquire a signal, I re-booted my phone and my text messages were sent as soon as the phone re-booted. Note: changing the phone to airplane mode and then off, did not resolve the problem.
Data: On multiple occasions (8-10 times in the past couple of weeks), I noticed that my phone shows "4G", but no arrows and I have no data access (i.e. no access via web browser, can't use any email apps, can't use any apps that use data access). Once I lose the data connection, it never re-acquires the network even after moving and/or waiting in excess of an hour. The only way to re-acquire data is to re-boot my phone.
This seem to have started 2-3 weeks ago, but definitely getting worse over the past week - very, very frustrating!
Using Samsung S4, running Android 4.4.2. I don't recall installing any new apps or new O/S versions in the past couple of weeks, though many updates auto-installed.I tried removing/replace the Sim card. Still have the problem.
I got really frustrated with this and after spending over an hour on the phone with technical support and then with Assurion, I got them to replace my phone, with a replacement S4. Spent another couple of hours getting my phone reconfigured, including having to spend another half an hour on the phone with technical support because the new phone wasn’t activating on the network. And, still have the same problem on two consecutive days where the phone hangs when I try to make a call at the end of the day. (Though I had been able to make a couple of calls during the day).
So:
· It fails in safe mode
· It fails if I set the network to LTE/CDMA rather than Global
· It fails after re-seating the Sim card
· It fails with a replacement device
What’s going on? How do I fix this? -
