NAS drops offline (OSX, WRT54GS v6)

The following is my conversation w/ Smartdisk:

OS 10.4.9 When txferring files, the NAS will drop from the network. The error message says something about access to the server is interrupted. Needless to say, it's frustrating. The NAS is connected to my 801.11g Linksys router, and I access it wirelessly. Please advise.

Hello,
The issue you are having is a timeout issue with the Wireless router. I would recommend checking the settings on the Router to ensure that there are no timeouts enabled and that there are no file size transfer restrictions. Thank you.

I've just been all over the router and don't see anything that bears any resemblance to that, unless it is in the Quality of Service tab, but it doesn't say.

Hello,
I recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the router and see if they can locate it for you. Thank you

So, how do ensure there are no timeouts enabled and that there ar eno file size transfer restrictions?
Cheers

There is no such setting on this router. Are you able to ping to the NAS once you lose the connection? If yes then it may be something in the settings in the NAS. You may try upgrading the router firmware, if needed.

NOARCHIVE mode and datafile DROP OFFLINE

I have a 10gR2 database on linux that I use for testing. The db is in NOARCHIVE mode.
I had created test tablespaces on a NAS (as opposed to the system tables on the local machine). The NAS crashed, losing the drive mapping on the db machine. Of course, I couldn't start the database due to the missing datafiles. I did an 'alter database datafile 'xxxx' drop offline', which put the datafiles in RECOVERY mode in the datafiles view.
Amazingly, I was able to recover the NAS several days later, and the datafiles.
Is there any way to restore them after a drop offline? When I try to online them, I get recovery needed, when I try to recover, none of the redo logs have the right checkpoint. (The checkpoint needed is less than what are in the redo logs)
I don't care about any data that might have been lost. The data was static for months.
Any suggestions?
Edited by: user10822921 on Nov 4, 2009 5:03 AM

If the database is asking for recovery when you online the files, and you don't have those transactions in the redo logs, you can't recover to a consistent point in time to online the files.
# Note that the following is not supported by Oracle Support. You may want to ask them for a second opionion.
You could try taking a copy of all files to another location, recreate the controlfile, and use parameter "_allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE" to allow "open resetlogs" to ignore the inconsistent SCN. If it works, you should be able to export the data in the copy database, drop the objects in PROD, and re-import.

8500 Premier All-in-One printer drops offline

Periodically my wireless printer drops offline and I cannot print. This happens randomly on different PCs on the wireless network. Usually restarting the print spooler on the PC that cannot print solves the problem but sometimes I need to shut the printer down and restart it. While that generally clears the problem the printer gives me a warning that it had been shutdown improperly, even though I used the on/off button. Various PCs on the network are running Windows XP and Windows 7 -- all have this problem.

The printer does not disconnect from the network as far as I can tell as other PCs can still print and the Network report from the printer control panel shows me an IP addressl. It just goes offilne for for pne user. In XP we can see the "Printer Offline" status and click "Use online" but that is harder to find in Windows 7.
I have not upgraded firmware or software recently. I had a problem installitng and the HP Solution Center tells me it cannt run as my device installation is not complete. I have donwloaded and tried to install OJP8500vA909_Full_14.exe several times with no success. I also have HP_Smart_Web_Printing_v4.6.exe and hppiw.exe -- not sure if they are still installed.

Drop offline Datafile

Oracle Database version - 10.2.0.3
I have a tablespace with 2 datafiles. One of the datafile is offline since couple of months. Now I am trying to drop the offline datafile but its not possible to drop that datafile.
As its production environment I can not take the tablespace in offline mode.
Can anyone please suggest suitable solution to drop the datafile?

Linksys WRV4400N Dropping Offline

I have 10 laptops (Windows XP), in a Windows Server 2008 (That was migrated from a SBS 2003 domain) and using Offline Files, that are constantly dropping their connections and receiving the dreaded "Offline - You are no longer connected to Server A". When I try to synchronize they fail. At first it was all systems dropping offline at the same time when users first logged in. Now it's just random and not all systems at the same time. The Linksys router is less than 20 feet away from the users with 1 drywall between them.
I can usually resolve the issue by disabling and re-enabling the wireless connection and it'll reconnect and synchronize. Or I can cycle the power on the router and they'll synchronize.
Initially, I thought this was a domain wireless timeout issue and created a policy to not timeout wireless connections, but apparently that's not the issue.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!

One of the probable cause of this problem is that the EA6500 have a corrupted firmware. Did you check if you have the latest firmware installed on the router? Please try to check as well if you experienced this problem on your other wireless devices. There is also a need to check if the wireless adapter installed on your computer has the latest drivers.
Just to further isolate the issue, you can also try inSSIDer to help you measure the signal strength and estimate the performance of your Wi-Fi in various locations.

Dropped Signal with WRT54GS

I have a WRT54GS model, and ever since we purchased it, all of our devices connected to it will occasionally randomly lose connection for no apparent reason. It can happen from multiple times a day to a few times a week. Seeing as I am a gamer and that dropped connections can really ruin an online game, this is a real problem. I have tried changing the channel several times, but this does not seem to work. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am not exactly very tech-savvy when it comes to networking, so it would be a huge help if you could explain any solutions step by step and with a lot of detail. Edit: To reestablish my connection, I just unplug the router and plug it back in, and it works. I don't know if that matters or not, just thought it might help.

There are many causes for poor wireless connections, and many solutions. Sometimes the solution is simply to optimize each of the router's settings:
First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, wireless speakers, and your neighbor's wireless network. In rare cases, Bluetooth devices can interfere. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Also, try to locate the router about 4 to 6 feet above the floor, in an open area. Do not locate it behind your monitor or near other computer equipment or speakers. The antenna should be vertical.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. If your current network is not listed, enter its info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching from WEP to WPA encryption.
If you continue to have problems, try the following:
For wireless g routers, try setting the "Transmission Rate" to 54 Mbps.
If you still have trouble, download and install the latest firmware for your router. After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Hope this helps.

Reconcile - ALTER DDL. Dropped (offline) and absent (online) for same table

JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0
1) Offline database table -> refresh from my_connection
2) Could have done some changes to the offline table here, but it is not needed to run into problems
3) (The same) Offline database table -> Generate or Reconcile to my_connection
4) ALTER object with manual reconcile
5) The table is now not "recognized" the way I thought it should be. "Dropped" on the offline side and "Absent" on the online side
Conistently getting the same behaviour for intance when generating DDL from diagrams. This means I am not able to get any ALTER DDL script (only drop and create objects).
Is there a fundamental misconception of mine or is it a bug here? Not able to find anyone with similar problems within this forum. Nor can I see that the problem is adressed in the 10.1.3.3 fixlist, so I'm prepared to get "did you remember to plug in the power connector"-ish replies here.

User,
I am getting the same issue with my 10.1.3.1 project.
Any ideas anyone?

ORA-03264: cannot drop offline datafile of locally managed tablespace

Hi list
A datafile was acidentally created on filesystem in one node of two nodes RAC.
After that the filesystem on which the datafile was created was out of space because of automatic control file backup and sysadmin move this datafile to another device. And before this action RMAN backup stopped work.
Now we replace the datafile to the original location, but it stay offline and recover status, and we cant bring them online because the customer dont have necessary archive logs to recover this datafile. RMAN backup is now working. But now we need to create a DataGuard on a third server and want to drop this datafile.
This datafile dont have any data segment and stay in most critical tablespace of the customer application which have more datafiles. This datafile in question isnt the first datafile of the tablespace.

How can I drop this datafile?
Thanks
Cristiano

Review this metalink note, what to do:
How to 'DROP' a Datafile from a Tablespace
Doc ID:111316.1
If you cannot recover the datafile, you have to export the 'rest' of the tablespace (after statement 'alter database datafile '/oracle/product/db/ars/dbs/arsystem.old' offline drop;' was successfully issued). Afterwards drop the tablespace,recreate it and import the data).

NAS showing offline when connected

Hi,
I have a mac running (Yosemite 10.10.1) that is set up with a NAS (WD Cloud) drive which is where all my photos are stored. I set this up with organiszer and was able to import and set up albums, this all worked ok until a few days ago when Elements is saying that the NAS drive is offline when its not.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same problem with someone who is only 20 minutes away! Like senderbobo I have to quit Skype and restart it before it admits that my contact is on line. I tried deleting the eas.db file, as suggested in http://community.skype.com/t5/Live-Messenger/No-Messenger-contacts-showing-in-Skype/m-p/1365173/high... and that didn't make a difference.

TMS Event Alert - Endpoint Drops Offline

We receive alerts from a particular endpoint (IP address statically assigned) that goes offline then comes back online quickly. In the messages.log we consistently see the following message that coincides with the alerts.
Feb 4 12:35:37.000 ppc dhclient: Bound to *:546

NTP appears to be configured correctly.
Comparing this with another endpoint, I don't see the same DHCP messages.
From Google, the takeaway was that the DCHP client is trying to request an IP address but the endpoint has a static IP address.
I have reached out to my network team to try and get an answer on how the connected port on the switch is configured.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
Thx

After considerable troubleshooting we found that the endpoint had a bad NIC card. Traffic was passed and calls were able to be made but we found various CDP flapping between half duplex and full duplex settings. FYI.

NAS files, Offline, Sync Centre and windows 8.1

Hello,
I can't believe how difficult it is to locate an essential feature of windows xp and 7 in Windows 8.1! My shiny new 8.1 machine has mapped a folder on a NAS device to its P: drive. This folder is used by a couple of other machines in my small network (both
W7) and they have made the folder "available offline" as they need to be able to access the files when away from home. This works fine and files are synchronised on return to the office.
I cannot find any way to "make the folder available offline" with my 8.1 machine. Sync Centre (in the control panel) wont allow me to create any "partnerships". The nearest I can get to this functionality is SkyDrive but that's not what
I need.
This has GOT to be a common requirement, surely? Am I missing something?
Many thanks
Stuart

Hi Stuart,
Which version of Windows 8.1 are you running? Is it the base version of Windows 8.1 or the Enterprise version? Concurrently, which version of Windows XP and Windows 7 are you running? If I am correct in the my thinking, I would guess that you are currently
running the professional version of Windows XP and Windows 7. To the best of my knowledge, Sync Center does require Windows Client to be at the Professional level edition or higher. According to
this Sync Center FAQ from Microsoft the ability to sync with network folders will not work with Home Premium editions which is equivalent to the standard version of Windows 8.1 I can confirm that Sync Center and offline files does indeed work in Windows
8.1 Professional as I am using Windows 8.1 myself and just performed a local test.
If you were to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro by purchasing the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack you will gain quite a few features such as the ability to join a domain. Check out
this page from Microsoft to compare the features each edition of Windows 8.1 offers
I hope this helps!

Mail dropping offline to quickly

Is there any way to get Mail to not give up so easily when connecting to the mail server and get email? At one of our locations the bandwidth is a bit small and the network gets busy (I'm working on it but most likely will not be resolved for a while), so when Mail tries to connect it gives up almost immediately and goes offline. Ok, so the network is busy and the external bandwidth is smaller than it should be, but other email clients (including Entourage) are able to connect and get email.
There has to be a way to change the amount of time that Mail is willing to wait for before it times out and drops to an offline state.... This is quite annoying.
Thanks,
Peter

I sympathize with you, but I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about it other than customize the toolbar to include the Go Online/Go Offline button to make your life easier, or switch to another mail client -- I'd love to be wrong, though.

Dropping Connection with WRT54GS v4

I have had a problem for the last week where my router drops connection intermittently about every 20-30 minutes. Once it drops, I have to unplug the router and modem and start over. It happens over and over again. Hooking up directly to the modem results in a normal, trouble-free connection. I have tried changing the channel, the SSID name and restarting everything sequentially without success. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

i started getting this problem, or at least a similar one, lately. i have a WRT54GS v6 with the latest firmware (1.50.9) that randomly decides to stop allowing wireless connections. devices that are already connected will stay connected and be able to access the internet through it, but if you restart a computer or try to connect with other devices, it doesn't find the router.
i have changed the SSID and set it so it does not broadcast the SSID, but that shouldn't cause it to stop accepting connections. i usually only have my laptop and a couple wii's connected to the router (my own and 2 of my roommates).
the only way to fix it when this happens is to unplug the router and plug it back in.

HP LaserJet CP1518ni Dropping Offline

I have an HP CP1518ni color laser jet that I absolutely love. I have it wired to my Ethernet routher and the IP address is statically assigned. The printer intermittantly goes offline and no matter what I do, it will not come back online. I've restarted all of the equipment. I downloaded and installed the latest drivers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it's still offline. If I wait for an upredictible amount of time, (hours to days), it will come back online and than it will run for an unpredictible amount of time. I also downloaded and ran the HP diagnosis software and it came up with nothing. I can see the printer on my network. I can ping it and perform a tracert to it, I just cannot get it to come online.
HELP!!

Hi Klaatu153i,
I understand you are having intermittent issues with the printer going offline.
I would try another Ethernet cable and another port on the router to see if that helps.
I would try using a higher value to avoid IP conflicts. (e.g. if the current IP is 10.0.0.1, change only the last part to 10.0.0.20 so the address will remain and won't be used by other devices when the printer is powered off)
Try plugging the Ethernet cable into the printer and the computer to see if it gets a valid IP address and stays online to test the card.
I have provided a document for the http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00312056&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la... Disregard the title please.

NAS Drops connection

I have been receiving errors when trying to open my NAS after not using it for a while after logging on to Windows 8.1. I am using a WD MyCloud with firmware v04.01.03-421. I can access the MyCloud from other devices including an iPad, iPhone, and Windows
7 Ultimate PC with no problems. If I log out of Windows 8.1 and log back in I can access the drive again. I receive the following error when trying to access the folder through mapped drive or through the "network" option:
Windows cannot access \\NASFILENAME
Check the speling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve network problems, click Diagnose
Error Code 0x80070035
The network path was not found.
The file name is correct and this is only a problem on my Windows 8.1 PC.

Hi Roger,
"I have been receiving errors when trying to open my NAS after not using it for a while after logging on to Windows 8.1"
Do you mean it can be accessed before ?
Please try to following command line to disable the autodisconnect feature to have a check.
"net config server /autodisconnect:-1"
Here is a link for reference :
Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/297684
We also need to change the power option of the network adapter.
Open Device Manager to change the power management settings for a network adapter. To disable this setting in Device Manager, expand “Network Adapters”, right-click the adapter, click “Properties”, click the “Power Management “tab, and then clear the “Allow
the computer to turn off this device to save power” check box.
If there is any antivirus software installed ,please turn them off temporarily to have a check .
Please also check the status of these services "Workstation, DHCP Client, DNS Client, Server, TCP/IP Netbios helper, Computer Browser".
