My LAN connection isn't showing up!

MY ethernet port isn't showing up on my device manager. there is a jack on the back and it does light up when I put in a network cable but nothing else happens. Right now I'm using my wireless card and thats the only thing that shows up under network adapters.
So does anyone know how I get my ethernet port to show up?
Kinda pointless to goto a lan party without a working ethernet jack
thanks for your time!

It's normally under Integrated Peripherals. I downloaded your manual, and they show there should be such a section, but there are not details on the settings, so just look for something that refers to lan or ethernet.

Hey, i've tried connecting my ipod to my laptop itunes and it's not working. My laptop shows it's connected but itunes isn't showing it's there. i've tired reinstalling, taking itunes off rebooting the laptop and putting it back on. I don't know how to get it working.

Network connection show unplug the lan connection

Dear All,
I have Windows 2008 R2 Std edition in my server with dns and file server roll install on the same.
Now the said servers LAN connection shows unplug but its actually connected. I can access the said server properly. I can able to get remote desktop also there is nothing any issue with the said server but only problem is that unplug icon is showing on task
bar. For your ref please see attach snapshot.

Hi,
Please check if the Network List service and Network awareness service are running. If not, please start them and change the startup type to Automatic. Also please try to disable the NIC and
re-enable the NIC to see if it works.
Also, you may temporarily disable firewall for a test.
Hope this helps.

Router isn't displayed as internet gateway even though it is. no lan connection

Hi,
Ever since I setup my new router it is not displayed in windows lan connections as Internet gateway. I can't connect to lan between my 2 comp.
Help me please.....!

Behind the router you access the internet through Local Ares Connections, So Internet gateway is not needed to go online. About access computers through LAN make sure you have enabled File and Printer Sharing and Setup the computer names and Gateway properly.

LAN Connections Drop WRT150N

Purchased and installed last Wednesday. Wired and wireless LAN connections have dropped twice since then. Can't access 192.168.1.1 at all, for example.
EasyLink shows message "Different Network Detected". Attempting to use dialogs fails, however, since the router isn't responding.
If I unplug the router, wait, and the restore power, LAN connectivity is restored.
Firmware is up-to-date.
I expect occasional situations like this, but the frequency is troublesome. Any suggestions?

I have just got this router yesterday. It did this right out of the box. After an hour or so the connection would just drop. For everything. Some other topic on this site suggested power surges for a similar problem. I moved my power supply to somewhere less crowded and have had continuous internet for about an hour now.
I'll let you know if it worked.

Troubleshooting page ea6900 - multiple LAN connections

I have EA6900, guest access enabled - when I log in remotely and look at troubleshooting page, I see several connections (two subnets, mine and guest) - some are listed as wireless and some are LAN. I see more than 5 LAN connections.
Since the router only have 4 ethernet ports on it, how can I have more than 5 LAN connections? Am I mis-understanding the table on the troubleshooting page?
Also, one of the LAN connections is 0:0:0:0 - not sure I understand that one.
This is at a seeeasonal rental property, I hid the router to keep guests from monkeying with it. They should only have guest access via wireless.
Can someone provide a better description of the troubleshooting page than the one-sentence blurb that comes with the router's user guide???
Thanks

I will say that I believe I've seen wireless devices displayed in this list as a LAN connection. In any case the IP Address of the device would show as the Guest subnet.
Yeah I can confirm what chadster said as well. I see wrongly labeled connections on my 6900 too. It works pretty good as a home based router but isn't always the best when you try to get too tricky.

Lan connectivity Issue on autonomous AP with throttles

          Hello,
I encounter a strange problem on several AP 1242 in version 12.4(25d)JA1 of a customer :
He has 10 autonomous AP covering a factory and is using them for laptop connectivity and TOIP with mainly 7921 Cisco Wifi Phones.
The phones are configured to use only 802.11a.
The APs loose LAN connectivity randomly and therefore the clients don't work anymore.
The AP are connected on a 2960 and a 3560 wich are in turn connected on a 3750 wich route the trafic.
After checking spanning-tree no loops are present.
When I check the counters on the AP involved I see the "trhottles" and "ignored" counters incrementing on the fa0 link of the AP impacted wich mean I think it can't handle the incoming traffic. This incoming traffic seems not to be too big however. I can see drops on the switch interface connecting the AP.
There is a lot of roaming on the AP due to people walking in the factory with their wifi phones.
Here is a view of the fa0 counters :

Does someone ever experienced a similar problem ?
When I shut radio interfaces they're is no more problems on the LAN. Can this be an overlapping coverage issue ?
Can someone please give me advices on how to troubleshoot this issue ?
Thank you in advance as I'm a bit stuck.
Best Regards,

     Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply.
Do you think this can be the origin of the issue my customer encounters or is it only to be standard ? As this change will have to be made on all clients, if there is a chance it solves the problem I will do it ASAP, if not I will delay it in a less busy period :-)
Can the constant roaming associations and dissasociations overload the AP and make it stop responding on the LAN or is it only a throuhput problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best Regards,

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Found the answer to my question after posting (in related discussions)

IPod Nano 5th Gen Help: When I connect my iPod to my PC it seems to connect fine and show as normal until I load up itunes. Why is it suddenly not being recognized once my itunes is loaded?

Hello, I've been working at this for hours but have made little to no progress in fixing my issue.
So when I plug my ipod in via usb into my computer the autoplay starts and it connects as an iPod. I can see it when I open up "Computer" and everything seems to be running fine. I'm not getting any errors or anything.
However, the moment itunes starts up, whether it be manually started or starting automatically through the helper, my symbol for safely removing falls off of my screen and I can no longer see the ipod in "Computer". Though I may be able to see it in Printer and Devices.
I've already gone through several steps to try and fix it via support on this site. I've reinstalled itunes, I've gone into disk mode, I've reset the ipod, unplugged it and replugged it in. My last option is to restore to factory defaults. As much as I would love to do this to see if it works (as all my music is backed up on discs and my computer), I can't do so if it isn't showing in itunes due to the fact it can't detect the ipod or at least the kind of ipod. I've tried to find a 3rd party program that could do this but none of them offer the option. Note: The ipod itself works fine. I can listen to it and it'll charge just fine. It just won't recognize.
I'm running Windows 7 OS. iTunes is up-to-date.
If anyone knows how to fix it, the help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello BPeery,
I would go through ALL the steps here:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Let us know how it goes.
Hope this helps.

Disable WLAN when LAN connected - how do I do?

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating from HP notebooks to Lenovo. We used to set a BIOS setting called "LAN/WLAN Switch" in the HP notebooks, which makes the WLAN to disable when the LAN cable is plugged in or the pc is docked
Where do I find a similar setting in Lenovo notebooks?
We need it because LAN and WLAN is on separate subnets, and Windows XP has trouble working with both nets at the same time. Users compalins about loss of network connectivity if both nets are enabled at the same time.
There may be a way to configure LAN/WLAN-switching in the Lenovo software, but we prefer to use the build in WLAN functionality in Windows, not using Access Connection or similar third party WLAN software. Our experience shows that uses often have difficulties finding out how to use third party WLAN software when traveling and need to connect to other WLAN's. The build in Windows WLAN software has the advantage that it is always the same, no matter which brand or model of pc they are using.
Regards,
Peter

Check out Wireless AutoSwitch at http://www.wirelessautoswitch.com it does what you are asking.
What is Wireless AutoSwitch?
Wireless AutoSwitch runs as a service and will automatically disable your wireless card when you connect to a LAN (hard wire) connection, and re-enable the wireless card when there is no LAN connection. This ensures that you are always using the fastest connection for network traffic. In the office this helps reduce redundant network connections, while still helping your employees seamlessly transfer from wired to wireless network connections.
For offices that are wireless security conscious this application makes sure the laptop's wireless card is off when the user is wired into your network, preventing bridged connections and preventing someone from the outside hacking your network through a laptop's wireless card.

Data source for this data connection isn't registered for Power BI

Hi, I am getting this error when I set Schedule Data Refresh to refresh data from db. How do I register my connection to the data source? Is this a fix on SQL server or Power BI?

Thanks for your help.

I'm running into the same issue, I did configure the Gateway and then the data source in Power Bi.
When I go to the Power BI Admin Center and click on "Test Connection" it seems to be working. But when I refresh the data from Power BI it doesn't work. Now if I edit the spreadsheet in excel and refresh the data in PowerPivot then it works. So
not sure why the solution doesn't refresh from the automated service in Power BI without this useless error.
Thanks
Fabian

Just yesterday, I was getting the iTunes cannot connect message... it's happened prior to the iPhone..it just happens from time to time... I guess sometimes it just has some kind of connection error with the server. Nothing to be concerned about..that's on their side..not yours!

No network LAN-connection after iOS 5.1.1update

Today i tried to solve a big issue after updating my AppleTV's to 5.1.1 (actual version: AppleTV3,1_5.1_10A406e_Restore.ipsw). After updating my Apple TV´s, they could not connect to the Apple activation server. No Home Sharing was adjustable and also logging in iTunesStore was not possible. The update I have done via LAN cable, and I changed nothing in my network configuration. The network (networkadress via DHCP) is indeed set up by default in the AppleTV automatically. Nevertheless, nothing went. Then I removed the network cable and made a reset of the AppleTV and tried to connect via Wi-Fi. With Wi-Fi, he finds the activation server and everything works as it should. Home Sharing, iTunes, streaming. However, once the network cable is plugged in and the Apple TV is restarted, it is again not possible to get access the iTunesStore. Home Sharing is not possible. The networkcable are fine. Both MacBook, as well as my TVs have internet connection over the same network cable. If I unplug the network cable from the AppleTV again, anything goes. Only via WLAN, but it's just too slow to stream data from my Mac. I have this "strange behavior" on 3 AppleTV 3.Gen., which are in the apartment. The previous iOS-Version on the same network cables, worked great. Can anyone reproduce the problem? Or have I now 3 bricked devices? I tried to downgrade over itunes. But this is not possible anymore. I installed 3 times the update. But nothing goes. Please can anybody help me.

I found another link titled "Apple TV Death after update" and found several links that have proven to work to restore to the previous version. Here is my post:
"I had originally replied to a post titled "No network LAN-connection after iOS 5.1.1 update". That has been my issue after updating to 5.1. Wirless worked for me but iTunes match and Podcasts were slow to respond. I finally downgraded to the previous version (5.0.2). So far, my ATV3 has been operating exactly as it did out of the box. No more activation failed message, and all components of ATV are functioning flawlessly on my whole home LAN network.
I also wonder what Apple was thinking for releasing this update without adaquate testing. I can forgive them for Maps, but not this. ATV has been around long enough for all of the kinks to be worked out and any updates to just plain work. I did like the new menu displays in apps and how you could rearrange the program icons on the home screen.
Perhaps they will get it right. Some day. But until they show proof that any future updates are correct and provide detailed instructions on how to revert back to a previous version, I will be very leary of updating. Spending a week reading message boards on how to do a simple resotre is not my idea of how to spend my weekends.
As a side note, I am a PC, so to restore from an .ispw file located on your system, you must press the Alt & Shift keys togather, then click the Restore button, and a window will pop-up so you can select the location for the restore file."
Directions to restore:
"Yes you can. I am a PC. Download the .ipsw file and save to your desktop. Unplug the LAN, HDMI and power cable. Connect the usb cable from your laptop to the ATV. If iTunes does not automatically launch, start it. After iTunes is running, plug in the power cable to the ATV. iTunes will recognize the ATV and will open the restore window in iTunes.
Press the Alt and Shift keys togather, then click on the Restore button. A file window will open so you can navigate to the desktop (or where ever you saved the file). Select the AppleTV3,1_5.-.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw file. iTunes will start the restore process.
When you see the message that it has completed the restore, unplug the usb cable and power cable. Reconnect the LAN and HDMI cable then plug in the Power cable in that sequence.
Follow the setup procedure again and all should be as it was before."

My LAN connection isn't showing up!
