Need Help with Laptops and Internet Access

I have been having difficulties during the past week with my internet access. I had been using FIOS for a couple months with few problems. Initially, I thought the problem was related to thunderstorms that passed thru our area a week ago, and wondered if the router had been damaged during the storms. But now I suspect it may be a more pedestrian issue with the computers' settings.
I have the Actiontec M1424WR router. With the power on, the power, internet, coax, and wireless lights are glowing and green. I have tried rebooting the router, and have used the various "fix my connection" and optimizer tools available from online support here.
We have 4 PCs in the home, all with wireless adapters. Two are desktop PCs, the other two are an HP (XP) and a Dell (Vista) laptop. I am generally able to get internet access on the desktop PCs, since these have linksys wireless adapters with the linksys utilitiy installed, and I have a profile created in the linksys utility that usually works fine with the desktop units.
But there is no such utility for the laptop units with their built-in adapters, and I must use Windows services to connect to the network and the internet. I can sometimes find available networks with the Windows services, and connect to the network manually. But many times, the SSID for our network will not be listed as avaialble, and at other times, the Windows service says that I have a network connection, but it will not connect to the Internet. And even when connections are made, they will intermittently be dropped.
Is there anything I can do to make the network and internet access for these laptops once again reliable?
Thanks,
Rich
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is the possible scenario:
Your router was configured correctly, and all was working well.
Thunderstorms knocked out power, and your router reverted to it's original setting ("automatic channel selection").
Now you have intermittent connectivity due to the change in configuration.
When you go into your router to change the channel, check to see if there is an option to "keep current channel settings after power cycle". If so, check that box.

Need help with CoA and Radius

     I am going through a 2 year degree course for Network Design and Adminstration and I have an internship with the city I live in. I have been tasked to reconfigure over 150 layer 3 switches (all Cisco and ranging from 2960, 3560 to 3850 [the 3850's are new and will have an initial config when this is done])from TACACS+ to Radius. The gentlemen I work under has given me only one parameter, make it work. He wants me to do my own research and then configure both a 3560 and a 3850 in a lab enviroment first and then troubleshoot.
    I have a couple of questions...
          1) In the manual for the 3560 on page 10-37 under the CoA heading It says ".... This procedure is required". Does that mean if I am using radius I have to use CoA or is it if I use some of the other options such as VSA I have to use it? Also, I have read the geek speak for what CoA is but this may be a stupid question but can someone put it in a langauge an intermediate person can understand and explain why I would want to do this and is it a best practice?
          2) Any words of wisdom about do's and don'ts for this process?

Good question.
And the answer depends on the requirements of an environment.
One example can be mentioned in the following scenario
A user has access to specific devices (Devices A) in the network only during business hours. While it has access to other devices 24/7 (Devices B).
If a user logged in to a device in group A just before end of buisness day, the user will be able to keep the session active after buisness hours until s/he exits or the session times out.
Now, you can change the authorizatoin at the end of business day so that the user's session loses access to the group A devices and keep only access to group B.
Another example can be that, you allow all users to your network to have internet only access. But allow only specific group to connect to the internal network. When a user authenticates you allow it directly in the VLAN X that allows the user for internet access only. Now, if the user is authorized and is a member of the internal group, you send a CoA message to the user to change its connection to VLAN Y that has access to both internal and internet access.
Hope it clears the picture a bit.

Need help with trim and null function

Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
,       NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM    Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
            , 'XX'
FROM    Table

Need help with Laptop decision

I am sorry about the length of this post, but I really need help. I am trying to buy a laptop and what should be a really exciting prospect (buying my first laptop) is turning into a nightmare that just about had me in tears over the weekend.
My budget is not big - 600 absolute max, but would prefer to spend a bit less than this.
I do mainly office work (Word, Excel, Databases and PowerPoint) and also some Photoshop work. I also play a strategy game called Caesar 3. I very much want to load my copy of XP on the machine, either replacing Vista or as a partition.
Looking through the models available in my price range and looking up the benchmarks I have found the following:
Most have processors like the Intel T5250 or T5450 or the AMD TL 58, which are all benchmarked as ok, but not great. A few have the AMD TL 60, which is a bit better and one or two have the Intel T7200 which is even better.
On the bulk of the machines the graphics cards are either the ATI Radeon Xpress X1200 or the Intel GMA X3100. Both of these are benchmarked as not great and the review says that they cannot handle strategy games. A few of the models have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 or HD 2400XT and one or two have the HD 2600.
The problem is that the models that have the better processor have the lower rated graphics card and those that have both don't have XP drivers, as far as I can see.
Don't mind a 15.4'' screen (although the 17.1'' would be very nice to have) and would like a reasonably big hard drive (160 +). I will be getting 2GB of RAM.
I am at my wits end. I don't want to buy a computer that will end up taking a minute or more to refresh a screen when you have more than two things open, or that you have to keep rebooting to get it to work. I want to be able to play my one and only game (Caesar III) which is a strategy game and I want to be able to work in Photoshop and perhaps have one or two other things open at the same time, like a website perhaps.
Please help me, anyone. Am I asking for the impossible? I can't get hold of an email address for Toshiba to try to get clarity from them on the issue of drivers and whether they will be made available in the future.
Then there is of course the retailer issue as each retailer only stocks a limited number of models and one has to choose between those.
I hope someone can help me!!

Hi
The problem is that you want to buy an all-round notebook but dont want to spend much money.
Additionally you want to change the OS to XP and need the XP drivers.
Well this is very hard decision buddy ;)
A notebook for gaming equipped with the power full graphic card cost a little bit more as 600
So you have to take a decision; Do you want to buy an gaming notebook and spend more as 600 or you will take an notebook which is great for a common usage like DVD watching, working with Office software, etc
The Cesar game is not known to me but I presume it doesnt need a high performance graphic card and it should run on a normal notebook too.
I think a Satellite a200 is not bad choice for you because some A200 notebooks were delivered with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor and a NVIDIA GeForce graphic card.
And very important is that all XP drivers were already released ;)

Need Help with iTunes and Windows 7

Hi,
I recently purchased a new Dell laptop and tried to install iTunes for my iPod and iPhone. The first time I tried it out it ran smooth as anything, but if I'm connected to the net things start to go downhill. At my flat in University (no internet connect) it ran fine, but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
I have uninstalled and re-installed several times now, but obviously dont want to have to do this again and again...
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance
Dan

but the second I went to the University computer room with my laptop, iTunes wouldn't open.
What security software are you running on the PC, Dan? (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware?)

Hi,
As per the thread what i understand a router with two interface one facing towards the isp with point to point link and other end as lan interface,If yes then you need to configure a default route towards your isp for outgoing traffic and ask your isp to put a reverse route for your local lan subnet towards your routers want interface.
Hope that Help !!

If not, is the source code availabe for GetStringUTFChars? OR is there an Windows/C++ equivalent available?

Adobe CC - Need help with billing and downloading apps

Hello,
I just signed up for a 1 year CC membership (includes all apps that are part of the Creative Cloud). Can you please let me know how i can receive a DVD so that i can easily install all the applications? Numerous applications are extremely large in size and i am unable to download them due to my slow internet connection.
Can you also let me know on which day exactly Digital River will charge my credit card each month? i just upgraded my membership a couple of hours ago.
Regards,
Raghu

Raghu do you have access to high speed Internet access at all? If so then you can download the installation files by following the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html. Please make sure to complete the Very Important Instructions prior to clicking on the download link.
If you do not have regular access to high speed Internet access then I would recommend that you purchase and continue to use Creative Suite 6. While it is possible to request DVDa from our support team high speed Internet access is a system requirement. Without regular access you will face difficulty downloading and applying updates and new versions of the software as they are made available.
If you wish to request a DVD with the installation files from our support team you can contact them at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.
If you would prefer to cancel your membership and proceed with Creative Suite 6 then please see http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10.

Help with LTE and Internet Sharing for BUIlD Lumia...

Nokia,
I received the Lumia 920 when I was at BUILD 2 weeks ago. I followed the instructions and the phone mostly works on AT&T. I had a 900 so I assumed my LTE and Internet Sharing plan would easily transfer. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. I called AT&T gave them my IMEI number but it's not in their system and is not recognized as a Lumia 920. Because this is not an "AT&T phone" they wouldn't do much more to help. My data connection only ever shows 4G, never LTE as my 900 does and I cannot enable Internet Sharing even though it's on my data plan. I believe this is all controlled by the IMEI number.
Is there anything Nokia can do to help us? I can't imagine I'm the only one having this problem! I'm going to try again to see if I can get the issue escalated and maybe they can force the IMEI number to be recognized as a 920.
Thanks!

Sorry I never came back to update. The fix, as has been noted already, is to make sure AT&T has your IMEI as another 920 or your old 900 so that you get LTE (which appears as "4G"). Then, in the Nokia Access Point config setting (under System Config), make sure LTE2 is selected, then install an additional keyboard (I tried both Spanish and Chinese). This will force an OTA update that seems to enable Internet Sharing. I had to redo it a second time when I updated my Nokia Access Point app last week, but I just re-installed a NEW keyboard and got Internet Sharing back. It hasn't gone away since, contrary to what others have experienced. For more info (and where I found the fix) see this XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971997

Noob needs help with Logic and Motu live setup.

Hello everyone,
I'm a noob / semi noob who could use some help with a live setup using 2 MOTU 896HD's and Logic on a Mac.
Here's the scenario:
I teach an outdoor marching percussion section (a drumline and a front ensemble of marimbas and vibes). We have an amazing setup of live sound to amplify and enhance the mallet percussion. There is a yamaha PA system with 2 subs and 2 mains which are routed through a rack unit that processes the overall PA balance. I'm pretty sure that the unit is supposed to avoid feedback and do an overall cross-over EQ of the sound. Other then that unit, we have 2 motu896hd units which are routed via fire-wire. I also have a coax cable routing the output of the secondary box to the input of the primary box (digital i/o which converts to ADAT in (i think?)..?
Here's the confusion:
There are more then 8 inputs being used from the ensemble itself, so I need the 16 available inputs to be available in Logic. I was lead to believe that the 2nd motu unit would have to be sent digitally to the 1st motu unit via coax digital i/o. Once in Logic, however, I cannot find the signal or any input at all past the 8th input (of the 1st unit).
Here's the goal:
All of my performers and inputs routed via firewire into a Mac Mini running OSX and Logic pro.
I want to be able to use MainStage and run different patches of effects / virt. instruments for a midi controller keyboard / etc.
I want to be able to EQ and balance the ensemble via Logic.
Here's another question:
How much latency will I be dealing with? Would a mac mini with 4gb of ram be able to handle this load? With percussion, I obviously want the sound as latency free as possible. I also, however, want the flexibility of sound enhancement / modification that comes with Logic and the motu896hd units.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I need the routing assistance along with some direction as to whether or not this will work for this type of application. I'm pretty certain it does, as I have spoken with some other teachers in similar venues and they have been doing similar things using mac mini's / logic / mainstage / etc.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You'll definitely want to read the manual to make sure the 896HDs are connected together properly. ADAT is a little tricky, it's not just a matter of cabling them together. Go to motunation.com if you need more guidance on connecting multiple devices. Beyond that initial hookup, here are a couple of quick suggestions:
1. Open CueMix and see if both devices are reported there. If not, your connections aren't correct. Be sure to select 44.1kHz as your sample rate, otherwise you are reducing the number of additional channels. For instance at 88.2kHz you would get half the additional channels via ADAT.
2. You may need to create an aggregate device for the MacBook to recognize more than the first 896HD. Lots of help on this forum for how to do that. Again, first make sure you have the 896HDs connected together properly.
3. As for latency with Mainstage on the Mini, no way to know until you try it. Generally MOTU is fantastic for low latency work but Mainstage is a question mark for a lot of users right now. If the Mini can't cut the mustard, you have a great excuse to upgrade to a MacBook Pro.

Need help with backup and clean install

Need Assistance with G5
Background
I'm an inexperienced Mac user with a G5, twin 2.0 gig processors and 1.5
gig ram. The OS is v10.3.6. It is the latest OS that will not slow down
internet (Safari/Mail) applications. Anything newer has really slowed internet applications down big time.
Current Problem
I've probably messed up my hard drive by switching back and forth
(archive/install) from newer to present OS. I now have corrupted data and
while my Mac is useable, several things do not work (disk utility, printing
and possibly more). I have a mixture of new and older versions of
these applications/utilities in my OS.
Going Forward
I believe I need to wipe out my hard drive and do a clean install. I also have a Mac mini which I can use (I believe) for backup via firewire.
Backup
Is everything I need to backup in the "User" folder? My spouse and I have
separate accounts and a shared account on the same Mac, with a total of 8.5 gig of data, mostly photo's and music. We want to save that and the usual preferences and favorites/bookmarks/addresses/email, etc. It would be nice if all I had to do was drag the user folder into the target drive.
I'd appreciate any assistance. I have more questions which I'll get to later, but I need to start somewhere.
Thanks all

Backing up your Users folder will save everything in all the accounts on the computer including pictures, music, preferences, etc. as long as they were kept in that folder.
If you have File Vault turned on you should turn it off. The "correct" procedure for transferring to your Mac Mini is as follows:
1. Turn both computers off. Connect them together with a Firewire cable.
2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
3. Then boot the Mac Mini normally. The G5's hard drive should be present on the Mini's Desktop.
4. Create a new folder on the Mini and name it something appropriate like G5 User Backup. Drag the Users folder on the G5 into this new folder on the Mini.
After the transfer completes you should verify that everything has been transferred and is there in the folder.
5. Drag the G5's hard drive icon from the Desktop to the Trash or CTRL-click on its icon and select Eject from the contextual menu.
6. Shutdown the G5 and remove the Firewire cable connecting the two computers.
You can now proceed to fix the G5. Because you are planning to erase the hard drive I would like to suggest you do an extended format to prep the hard drive properly for your restoration:
1. Boot from your Panther Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
You can then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Now proceed to reinstall OS X. Be sure you set up your accounts with the exact same usernames and passwords as you used before.
Once you have completed your reinstallation on the G5 you can restore your Users folder from the Mac Mini.
1. Shut down both computers. Connect them with a Firewire cable.
2. Boot the G5 into Target Disk Mode.
3. Boot the Mac Mini normally. G5's hard drive should appear on the Mini's Desktop.
4. Open a Finder window on the G5's hard drive and drag the Users folder to the Trash (don't delete yet.)
5. Now copy the saved Users folder from the Mac Mini to the G5 (only the Users folder, not the folder in which you stored it.)
6. Eject the G5's hard drive from the Mini's Desktop and shut down the G5.
7. Disconnect the Firewire cable.
Now restart the G5. If all worked well it should start up normally and you should find everything normal in your accounts.
There is one potential problem in all the above. All your account preferences are contained in the Users folder. If you have any corrupted preferences, they will still be corrupted and may continue to cause problems. If that's the case you may need to trash the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder's contents. Hopefully, this won't be the case, but you should be aware of the possibility.
If eveything is working normally you can empty the Trash and delete the contents. Same on the Mac Mini.
