My connection was lost while taking Intro To Oracle9i: SQL online!

I can't beleive my luck! I was taking the online exam: Introduction To Oracle9i yesterday (Friday, Feb. 6th 4:30PM EST) when my internet connection was lost! My ISP figured that doing a server upgrade at 4:30PM on a Friday was an ok time! Now I am probably going to get screwed for the $90USD I paid and fail the exam. I was at question# 43 of 57 when this happened. Also I will have to wait 30 days to re-test on top of it since that is the protocol! Anyways so I call Oracle Online Education support and the test I took is not even managed by Oracle...it's a Prometric company...even though Oracle logos were plastered all over the web pages while doing the test? So now they are not even open till Monday and I just know they are going to say "there is nothing we can do" and my ISP is probably going to say the same thing! I am hoping I can be able to re-test without charge even though it is my ISP's fault.

Well after explaining my situation in full detail to the Oracle Testing Staff in an email I received a cut and paste reply rite off one of the webpages which has nothing to do with what I was explaining in my email. I am really surprised that this is the way the Oracle responds to people whom are learning and promoting their products!
Dear Rick,
You need to have certain internet connection requirements in order to take the online test. These are described in http://www.oracle.com/education/certification/index.html?onlinetest.html
You can take the exam from anywhere with an internet connection with the below requirements. If you do not have access to an internet connection with these requirements, you may take the exam at an Oracle University Training Center or Authorized Prometric Testing Center.
* Internet Speed 33kps required. Internet Speed 56kps is recommend.
* Internet Explorer IE 4 for English exam delivery.
* Internet Explorer IE 5 for Non-English exam delivery.
* Netscape browser is NOT recommended for any Oracle Internet
Delivered exam.
* Internet exam delivery is not possible through browsers specific to
Internet Service Provider (ISP) . For example, you will be

and I lost my intenet connection when I was at question #43 with 48 minutes
remaining. I hope
there is some way to be able to redo this test? If necessary my ISP can
provide proof that quite
a lot of their subscribers went offline due to server upgrades. Can you
please advise me on your
protocol in situations like this?

the test
sponsor (Oracle) and gave me your email address...

    In "purchases" while in my App Store, Mountain Lion says, "an error has occurred" and the green 'download' button is grey and I cannot re-start the download. I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost. At the time, Apple was still offering the e-chat, so I did that and the man was very helpful and it was a quick fix, so my download button turned green again, and I was able to begin the download. BUT during the download, I was kicked offline once again, and I decided to wait until I was back in the USA. I will go in to an Apple store and ask assistance, but if there is something I am missing, I'd like to try that first. Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • InDesign - The network connection was lost

    I see a few threads in regards to this problem but I don't either understand or see a credible fix for it. I work for a company that has a creative services department. In total there are about 20 employees, all with the same image on their Mac. The Mac models themselves can vary but I have one user who has had two different Macs now and she continues to be the only one in the department who has this problem. Randomly she will get the following errors from InDesign CS6 vr. 8.0.1 on OS X 10.9. She works on files from a server. Illustrator doesn't have this issue working from the same sever but InDesign does. This can happen while she is actively using the Mac so there isn't anything turning off or going to hibernate mode.
    The network connection was lost for the file XXXXXXX.indd, or the file was modified by another process.

    Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents.
    To troubleshoot I have done the following:
    1) Deleted the InDesign prefs.
    2) Updated the CS 6 suite
    3) Changed out network cable
    4) With new cable, swapped her network port with another users network port. Problem still stayed with the user.
    5) Had the network team monitor her port with a sniffer. They found nothing wrong with it.
    6) Updated OS X 10.9
    7) Removed CS 6 and re-installed.
    Not sure what else to do.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Network connection was lost for the file

    Indesign CS4 6.0.6
    2012 27" iMac
    OSX 10.8
    My InDesign has been crashing and I get the following two error messages.
    "The network connection was lost for the file...
    "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected. Please restart InDesign to recover work in any unsaved InDesign documents."
    As a result of the crash my Indesign file get deleted as well as the parent folder and all of its content including various file types. This has happened twice to me now, luckily I am running hourly backups but it is still extremely frustrating. I am not sure if this is a problem with the Adobe software or my mac server, but I thought I would start here first.
    Thanks for any help that you can offer
    - Katie

    "Adobe InDesign is shutting down. A serious error was detected."
    Normal, but arguably unacceptable behavior with InDesign if the network hiccups or stops while working accross a network. Adobe/InDesign does not formally support network work, which is insane in the typical environment.
    The loss of a file or folder is not typical.

  • "Hotspot login could not open the page because the network connection was lost"

    So, I've been trying to connect to the login for our school's wifi for a while now, but instead of like going into the sign in spot where you accept the terms of use agreement for our wifi, the pop up screen says "Hotspot loging could not open the page because the network connection was lost". This is on my iPod touch 2nd Generation, and I've never had this problem before, but it popped up like 4-5 weeks ago, and I haven't been able to log in since. Anybody else solve this problem/ have it and could give me advice on how to solve it? That would be great, thanks and see you fellow Applers later!!

    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar at bottom
    2. Hold the Safari app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

    I just updated itunes and started to update my phone to iSo5 when wireless connection was lost on my laptop, I can't get it back and it says there are no networks available-router is working fine, am using it on my iPhone now. Help!

    Reboot your router. You by chance dont have a netgear N300 WNR2000 router do you? I had one of those and would lose wifi on it constantly, Switched to a Cisco wifi router and it works much better.

  • Unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost.

    I get this all the time in iTunes 12.1: "unable to check available dowloads. The network connection was lost."
    Sometimes it does what it's supposed to do anyway, sometimes it doesn't. I also get the: "We could nor complete your iTunes Store request. The network connection was lost". If I sign out and back in that goes way, but item #1 is still showing up all the time. Even when nothing is apparently happening?

  • I am playing in Pogo and cannot open the games even though the homepage and others will open. The message is THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING. How do I fix this???

    I am playing in Pogo and cannot open the games even though the homepage and others will open. The message is THE CONNECTION WAS RESET WHILE THE PAGE WAS LOADING.
    All my friends are playing and it seems I am the only one have this problem.

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.
