Network Adaptor Driver

I just had a Toshiba Satellite L656-S5058 fail and I replaced the hard disk with one from a Satellite M305-S4907. Most everything works but there's no network adapter driver available to install. I downloaded three different driver scanner programs (from another machine), ran them, and they all failed for one reason or another when I ran them. Can anyone advise me on how to get this machine on line?Thanks in advance...

Satellite L655-S5058
Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

Virtualbox Win 2000 network adaptor driver

Hello,
Looking for some advice. I got a new job, and was able to convince them to let me use a Mac versus the typical corporate dell setup. So i got a spiffy new 13" MBP 2.4Ghz.
So everything is working fine, but I need to run a business application that runs on windows only. Since it's an information database, I need to access it via a virtual Windows pane, instead of going with Bootcamp, which I have running with no issues on my personal MBP. So we opted to use Virtualbox since it's a free solution. The IT guy installed VB along with Windows 2000 since they have licenses lying around, but they couldn't get the network card driver working.
My question to the community here, running the same thing, is what network driver should be used for VirtualBox with Windows 2000 as the guest OS?
The IT guy is a part time contractor so he's not doing alot of effort in finding out.
I appreciate any suggestions and pointers.
thanks,
Ken

Okay, so the oracle boys directed me back to the virtualbox page, since they don't have a real tech support to call. But I was able to locate an answer from one their forum moderators.
For anyone that may come across the same issue, here's what you do.
having the guest OS (windows 2000) shutdown, go into VB Settings, then Network, and Select "NAT" under the 'attached to:' drop down box. And the the Adaptor Type (driver) under Advanced should be kept as PCnet-FAST III.
thanks,

Connecting iMac to ASDL router via home Phone Network Adaptor (PNA)

I connect to the internet via an ASDL Router from BT called the Network 1200.
This allows other computers in the home to connect to the router via a telephone point close to the computer. This is achieved by plugging a Phone Network Adaptor into a USB port on the computer on one end and the telephone socket on the other. The driver for the PNA is contained on disc. I have been connecting several PCs to the router in this way for many years.
I then buy a new iMac, load the driver for the PNA. Plug it into the USB port (expecting this to connect the iMac to the router and so achieving an internet connection) ....but nothing happens. iMac doesn't even acknowledge something has been plugged into a USB port. This works perfectly well with any other PC.
Can anybody help steer me in the right direction to solve this?
Thanks

The Driver was meant to be compatible with a Mac but I guess it could have been for earlier Macs and operating systems. Next question is where do I get one if one exists?

Which network adaptor in Pavillion ZE5500 CTO?

Hi,
I was going to install Windows 7 on the kids laptop, and with the support for hardware in Windows 7 I didn't even bother to check which network adaptor was in it. That decision came back to bite me
Could someone help me out with the name/model of this network adaptor, and if possible which Windows 7 driver works with it?
Cheers!

Lappy I think he means the wired LAN...it is National Semiconductor MacPhyter. Here is a link to the XP driver which might not work in Windows 7:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
Not sure a Vista driver was ever written for this old device....try the national Semiconductor website. The MacPhyter was common on computers with an ALi chipset, as the ze4xxx and ze5xxx had.

The Network Adaptor could not establish the connection while deploying

Hi All,
I am using oracle db 9.2.0.7 and OWB 9.2.0.4. When I am trying to deploy the object on remote database using owb deployment manager, it is failing to deploy object and giving an error "The Network Adaptor Could Not establish connection."
When I am trying to connect using SQL+, it is connecting as well as I can create the objects and all but the same thing I am trying to do using OWB, it is giving me an error.
What I understand is if there is something wrong with the tnsnames or listner, then it should give an error with sql+ as well. I have also check the c:\windows\system32\driver\etc\hosts which includes the ipaddress and host name.
Please help.
Thanks
-Mehul

Hi,
are You using 2 different Oracle Homes (one for OWB and one with main Oracle software)
If so, may be that the TNSNAMES.ORA in the OWB Oracle Home is not correctly configured.
Please check or clarify that
Hope this helps

Is WLAN card recognized and installed properly?
What is the status in device manager?
If everything is OK there I presume WLAN card is not enabled properly. At first move WLAN switch to ON position and then use FN+F8 combination to enable WLAN card.

Network Controller driver for T42p not working

We have a T42p (type 2373-HTU) that had a new copy of WinXP Pro installed on it, wired network is working but wireless is NOT working.
In Device Manager, the network adaptor is showing up as working and it is (Intel PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection) working fine on a wired connection. The Bluetooth works when you Fn-F5 it on. My problem is that the Network Controller has the infamous yellow question mark on it and I have been through every single driver on the Lenova site for this particular laptop (2373-HTU) and none of them work. I did follow the install instructions and still have the same problem. I assume this is why the wireless networking is not working. I do have an icon in Control Panel for Wireless Network setup wizard. There is no off/on switch for wireless on this model. I have been in the BIOS and there is no way to turn wireless off/on in there either. As far as I know ... this particular model does have a wireless card installed.

Welcome to the forum! These were the original specs of your T42p:
P M 745, 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200rpm HDD, 15 UXGA(1600x1200) TFT LCD, 128MB ATI FireGL T2, CD-RW/DVD-R Multi-Burner(slim), Intel 802.11b wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, 9 cell Li-Ion Batt, WinXP Pro
The driver, presuming you're running XP:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1rwc89ww.exe
After downloading and extracting the driver, you must go into C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.
Quite a few users have reported issues with Intel 2100B card under XP SP3. You may want to consider getting a newer card, they are quite inexpensive nowadays.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers,
George

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

SCCM remote control keeps dropping out when another network adaptor loses connection

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out
at work, we are running SCCM 2012, and I use SCCM 2012 config manager to manage the clients etc
We have a particularly annoying issue with SCCM remote control; it constantly drops out when a network connection on the client machine disconnects or changes state, even if its not interface I'm remote controlling through
Here's an example for you:
a laptop with a wired, and wireless connection:
I remote control the machine through the wired network address (lets say 192.168.0.1), but if the wireless connection drops out (someone turns it off or it breaks) the remote control client will kick me off, lock the screen, and I have to wait 20-30 seconds
before it will accept my connection again
This happens with any network adaptor that's installed on the client
Here is a copy of the logs re-creating this issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nu4w28d44xky3rg/CmRcService.log
(I've edited it to take out usernames and IP addresses as they are publicly accessible)
So my question, does any one know how to fix this issue? I see it uses WMI, is there anyway to get WMI to ignore an interface?
Thanks heaps,
Harry

This is going to be done by design for security reasons. If the network connect for whatever reason is down the pc will automatically be locked.

How do I set up Time Machine to work with an Iomega network hard drive?

I have just bought a new iMac having switched from Windows, and am very much a beginner when it comes to all things Apple. Previously I had used my NAS hard drive with my old windows pc. i successfully used it to transfer a lot of data from the old pc to the iMac but can't seem to get it recognised when I try to configure time machine. I have downloaded the latest version of Iomega Home storage manager which appears in the application folder in the dock, but when I click on The HSM icon it just disappears and nothing happens. I can access the drive through the Bonjour service and can see its contents in Finder. I have looked through the forums here but much of the info assumes a level of knowledge that i don't have. Is there an 'idiot's guide' anywhere to enable me to set up time machine to use the network hard drive?

You would probably benefit from a couple of things, first going through these 2 links
Time Machine FAQs & Time Machine Troubleshooting.
If you still have questions there is a TM forum, because TM is part of OS X you will find the forum in the Snow Leopard forum. Click Apple Support Communities and in the search field type Snow Leopard. Once you are in the correct forum you can narrow your search by clicking Refine this list.

Network storage drive...where can I learn about these?

I have so many questions, and frankly, the answers I've seen looking (briefly, admittedly) around these threads scare me. Gee, Wally, what ever happened to Apple as the computer you didn't have to know computer programming to use?
Now, before you all get your panties in a bunch telling me that I'm responsible for knowing how to use my hardware, I know...and I do want to know.
So what I want to know now is how can I learn about the various types of "shares", and what they mean for hooking up a network drive for backup, etc.
I have a WD 1TB drive which I believe uses "SMB", whatever that is. It's got two folders on it currently, "Public" which I can access, and "WD Backup", which I can't. I also can't seem to use it as a Time Machine drive, which is what I want to do with it. And, or course, I can't re-format it, which I'd love to do as my wife hates the folder designations on it, and would like to have one folder called "iMac Backup" on it.
Answers which don't involve Terminal will get extra points, but I've dealt with Terminal before, so take your best shot. And ask for clarification if you need it. Thanks.

Unfortunately, networking and file-sharing aren't quite so simple in part because there's decades of history and dozens of companies involved in getting it into the current state. If you want dead-simple, you can get an Apple Time Capsule or AirPort with an external drive and be done with it. However, if you really want the most from network storage, you'll probably want to read up...
WD make a number of drive, some network-attached, some not. We'll assume that you have one of their basic consumer network-attached drives.
"SMB" stands for "Server Message Block" protocol and it was the local area network file-sharing protocol developed for Windows for Workgroups circa 1992 (it was later renamed CIFS - Common Internet File System - by Microsoft in 1996 because of the rising popularity of the Internet, despite the difficulty in getting it to work in anything but a small local network). SMB/CIFS is still widely used today for Microsoft Windows networks, though much of the equipment that serves those files are built on Linux or FreeBSD and not Windows.
Access to shares on an SMB server (such as your hard disk) is controlled through a configuration utility provided with the drive or via a web application built into the device (that you access through your browser). Consult your manual. Generally speaking, however, SMB servers offer different ways of identifying whether or not you can access a share: 1) based on the computer connecting (in which case, everyone is considered the same user), or 2) based on a username/password combo. Generally a server will only operate in one mode. Shared directories can also allow or deny "guest" access (access without a password). All of this should be configurable through the drive utility or web application which you access with your web browser. Generally, an SMB server can only operate in one mode.
It sounds like the Public directory is configured to allow guest access, and I'm guessing that "WD Backup" is a share that's password-protected and intended to be used with Western-Digital's own software of the same name. You should be able to add and create new directories as necessary through the provided utility or the web interface.
You are correct, you cannot use Time Machine with an SMB file-sharing service. Time Machine will require AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) or NFS (Network File System) support. Western-Digital only has 3 network drives that support AFP and Time Machine: My Book Live, MyBook World, and WD ShareSpace. OS X also has some basic requirements about the performance and capabilities of network storage in order to use it with Time Machine, so you really want to look for drives that state up front that you can use Time Machine with them (for example, WD World Edition: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf )
I'm not sure why you can't reformat the drive. This is supported on all WD products (though, if you've moved a bunch of data to it already, perhaps it would be a hassle).
You can do backups of your Mac over SMB, but it's complicated by the fact that SMB is quite old and isn't capable of storing information about the file permissions, ownership, etc. It will be reliable for data files, but not for applications, etc. There's a work-around, of course. You can create a disk image on the SMB share using Disk Utility (make sure you create an HFS+ image) and backup to that. If you go that route, I would suggest either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to perform your backups. They are true backup tools, not versioning tools like Time Machine.

Lion - can no longer connect to WD wireless network / hard drive.

I upgraded to Lion and now I am unable to connect to my WD wireless network hard drive. it tells me that the version of the server I am trying to connect to is not supported and to contact your system administrator to resolve the problem. Suggestions?
