Network card fades away

I installed Arch on Pentium 2 machine, which already has running LXbuntu 9.04 (working very well).
The problem I have is that in fully-updated Arch, the network connections seems to fade-away after few minutes since boot.
Pings and transfers work, then they drop to 0 even though WiFi (atheros-based) is still connected.
No other symptoms, except one time I got out of X and into the console, and saw something like "unable to warm-reset WIFI chip" or something similar.

Alex,
I have a son in Brazil in Sao Paulo and one headed further north. Both are Mac Gurus from age ten.
Here is the Apple link that identifies the location of an airport card if you have one:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1305?viewlocale=en_US
If you go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac," then select "more info" you will find information about your hardware. Look under Network/airport card. That will also tell you what is installed without opening the cover to your mac.
Jim~
PS, if you do not have a card, make sure you buy the right one. Early models take one type in one location. Here is a video of the location of the later model.

Lenovo B575 screen just fades away

New here so here goes.....I own a Lenovo B575, great piece of equipment...BUT on occasion the following happens.
1. I am done doing what I wanted so I go to START/LOG OFF.
2. Now I want to resume some time later so I click on my personal ICON and the unit comes alive and goes to my screen saver - BUT the image starts to fade away to complete DARK.
3. Only way to get back to my screen saver with all my ICONS is to power off the unit and power back on.
Do I have a problem?????

hi xbassman,
Welcome to the Community.
If you see a dark screen but the LCD backlights are still ON then it's possible that the explorer.exe has crashed.
Can yu try to:
1. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open up the Task Manager
2. On the Task Manager, go to File > New Task (Run...) > type explorer and press Exter (this should restart explorer.exe and give you the desktop)
3. Update your video card driver from the Lenovo website and install all Windows Update then observe.
Let me know your findings

XP not seeing any network cards

I have XP running through Bootcamp but am not able to see a network card. I do not seem to be able to find any drivers to use. Any suggestions?

Stefan,
thanks for your response......... not looking for excuses but.... I am new to this 'Mac World' and I did not think for one minute that the OSX DVD would have anything to do with MS Windows once it was up and running!!!!!!
Unfortunately I'm away from my Leopard disk until tuesday but it sounds like my problem will be solved.....
Thanks very much,

HP Management Pack - why would a rule be used for a network card error?

Hi,
I am asking this question with regard to the HP proliant management pack but my question is about the more general "rule" v "monitor" question which generally I understand (I think).
We get alerts for HP network card failures. This is rule based and basically looks for event "2" in the event logs. The same thing happens though if a cable gets pulled or a switch fails for a few seconds for instance.
The question I am getting asked by admins is to override this as its a "false alarm". I have pointed out people shouldnt just pull a network cable (maintenance mode please!) and if switches are failing then use the SCOM alert to let the network
team know... Plus if the card genuinly does fail this is the alert. BUT they are asking why isnt this a monitor anyway? If the network card is OK I think event 4 gets logged. So why didnt HP write it as a monitor that would close when it sees the success event?
My main thinking was if they had you wouldnt get to know about intermitant faults that dont last long. For instance the card would be down for 30 seconds but the monitor would close as soon as it was back up and you wouldnt see it.
Any thoughts?
thanks

My guess is because they have tools that compete with MSFT and do not sell their MP's. So now they have to have one of their own FTE's creating a management pack for a competing product to monitor their hardware. If it worked better than HP Openview,
then maybe more people would switch to Openview and dump SCOM...
Honestly it comes down to resources, and the fact, similar to MSFT management packs, they are FREE, so how can you justify spending all the time and resources to create something and then give it away for free? You can't, so you speed through it, and
drop it to the public, let them find the issues, and stress test it, etc. (not a fact, just my honest opinion after working with this product for over 13 years). MSFT is guilty of this as well, they have had their fair share of problem management
packs...but they are FREE.

That's your problem right there.
Lenovo-issued WLAN and WWAN cards have custom firmware that is recognized by BIOS which will "bark" at any other card, even if the basic card - AC7260 in your case - is the same.
Get a genuine Lenovo card or flash a modded BIOS.

Intermittent issue with Wifi network card.

Nothing can be more annoying than an intermittent issue. Unfortunately it does happen to my MBP. This is the new MBP purchase Jan. of this year. About 2 months ago, the MBP developes a problem. The sympotom is, after powering it on, the Wifi network card sometimes suddently stop working, even cannot be recognized by the system accidently. After the problem arise, I cannot turn on wifi again. The only way to get it back is to restart it. It used to work well with my home network and company network.
I have tried every possible mean to figure out what's wrong with it. Tried SMC reset, PRAM rest. Reinstall a new OS on a new partition (per instruction from Apple support). I hate to say this is a HW issue but support people from Apple did suggest sending it to a service center for a check up.
Before I actually dropping it at service center, I wanna know if someone has experienced that before?
Repeat, it used work well with my router.

Network Card Teaming for the Home

Sadly microsoft is way behind the other competing OS's in this field.
Sure you may say that your server versions offer this but the home needs its too. Why you might ask. The answer is Bluray and eventually 4k movies. I copy them to my freebsd plex server for home viewing. I'd prefer not
to let teenagers ruin my bluray disks. I copy them once and then store them safely away.
My freebsd plex server has 3 1 Gig links to my home cisco 24 port Gig switch which connects by 3 Gig links to my 8 port cisco switch and the 3 nics in my FX8350 box. This works fine in linux and freebsd , but unless
I have identical cards and can run the manufacturers teaming software I am basically screwed in windows and back to single links.
You may say that I'm disk bound anyway, but I have a a 4 X 3 Terabyte disk ZFS system in their version of RAID 0 which is rysnced to four identical pools both local and remote over a 5ghz wifi link.
Don't restrict us and blame issues with response times as I've read. Just let us use it as an option and we'll make our own judgement. After over 30 years of computer experience I can cope. Remember us baby boomers
like your founder. I am currently downloading the enterprise version to see if it has the capability.
I have read many comments about this and I totally agree with them.
This is not only your chance not only to catch up with what currently appears to be your technical superiors but also provide a compelling reason to upgrade from Windows 7 for technically expert users.
Oh btw I do really like windows 10, no issues so far, but please fix this. Pretty please :D

I don't think that Microsoft is too concerned about losing consumer sales
due to any lack of native teaming in its consumer level OS'. If one
absolutely requires NIC teaming on a consumer OS then the solution for
Windows is to purchase multiple NICs from the same vendor that support
teaming and use their configuration utility to create and manage the team.
Teaming, at the consumer level, is an extreme outlier and as I said, I'm
sure that Microsoft isn't losing any sleep over any lost sales to due its

Network Card - Thinkpad A31

My A31 Thinkpad appears to some sort of card reader. It looks like it has 2 slots. I was wondering if I could get a wireless network card for it. However, I don't know what type of card reader I have. I tried a network adaptor that looks like this
http://i00.twenga.com/p/04/30/40430vb.png but it did not seem to fit. Could someone tell me what kind of network adaptor I would need?

A31 is a new enough machine that it doesn't require a 16-bit card. My wireless card is a 32-bit and it works just fine in all of my A3x machines.
Try another PCMCIA device and see whether it will work, just to test the slot.
Good luck.

Teamed network cards for domain controllers?

can someone help me to resolve a debate we have: my colleage states that domain controllers (in our case Win2003SP2) should "not" have their network cards teamed for high availability (via HP's NIC teaming software).? I've not heard of this and cannot Bing/Google anything like this. I'm under the impression that a domain controller "should" have it's gigabit NICs teamed to make sure that directory services are highly available.
any information on this would be great. thanks...Peter A. Berger Jr.

Fault Tolerance and Network Teaming
                Anyone who has called Microsoft for help with a networking problem has likely heard the question: "Are you using network teaming?" I have often heard this referred to by Microsoft's customers as a "quick out" or an excuse that Microsoft was looking to pass the responsibility on to someone else. As someone that has been on both ends of the phone, and at the highest escalation point within Microsoft's Network queues I can tell you that it is a question born of wisdom and tempered with experience. While working the phones at Microsoft, supporting the largest and most critical systems in the US it was rare to ever get a call about the same problem more than once. Even more rare was for everyone on our group to get the same calls, and have the same experiences. I recall it happening when we fought the blaster worm, and when Microsoft's "Scalable Networking Pack" was released with 2003 SP2. These were bad, but a few months went by and except for a few straggles the phone calls stopped, the world got wise to the issue and the problem was resolved. I was amazed though to experience 1-3 calls a week with network issues CAUSED by network teaming. I could not help but be blown away by the irony of a program meant to avoid network failure so often causing it. I talked to colleagues, (of which I have found no better single source in the industry than at Microsoft), and found that even the old timers having more than 15 years with the company had the same stories of problems caused by networking teaming as we are constantly experiencing today. I am amazed that an industry as wise and agile as the computer industry has been (and is), has stuck with such a poor technology. I always asked my customers as the called with problems, usually critical ones, "What is teaming these network cards getting you". Almost unanimously the answer would come fault tolerance, to which I would reply rhetorically "How often do you NICs or Switches fail and how often has teaming caused network failure?" In my opinion, it is unforgivable for an application to constantly cause the problem that it is written to avoid. It should cause pause and reflection as to whether the technology is well suited for its function, whether it is just written poorly or if all of its implementations have similar problems. Technology today is beyond network teaming. There are far better methods of providing fault tolerance with manual and automatic failover. Most application writers have taken into consideration fault tolerance at the service level superseding anything that network teaming offers, so that network teaming should be a dead technology, because it is killing us.
                Finally, if you are considering using network teaming, or have had reason to reconsider its use, maybe these questions will help your assessment:
                What is my goal with using network teaming?
                Can I gain Availability through use of a more capable NIC card?
                How often have my NIC cards failed?
                When NIC cards have failed were they the only failure, or was it in conjunction with a Motherboard or other failure causing the service to be unavailable?
                What are my needs for uptime for these services?
                Would a manual failover (the simplest of options) be viable for this service?
                What options for automatic failover do I have (since most applications can have multiple providers through configuration)?
                One other note to add. While working on the phones at Microsoft, and later as a consultant to large and federal organizations, I found one thing that seemed to be true most of the time. When a problem occurred, it was rarely the OS itself, but something unnatural to its processes. Simplicity and minimalism is really one of the keys to a healthy server and environment. Often it is necessary to introduce other applications and services, but I do not think near as often as we do.
Note: MSFT does not support network teaming, because they do not own the software that provides it. In certain instances though, like with OCS, they flat out will not support OCS if teaming is enabled on the server.
Note2: I realize my comments above are very general, and so I want to apply these to this exact question. When I consider AD and how to make it fault tolerant, I cannot help but realize that the protocols, clients and services that make up Directory Services, are beautifully fault tolerant. In most cases, the loss of any one DC would not greatly affect the user's ability to authenticate to a computer or service within the domain. Even more, Directory services is inherently so fault tolerant that it can still function with the loss of a major part of the servers that make it up.

Why does my email auto pull-down list keep fading out after one second (I can put my mouse on it and it comes back, so it is there, just again fades away after 1 second)?

When I go to send an email, many of may emails are saved so when I type in the first letter, a list appears in the auto pull down. However, when I go to click on the address I want, it immediately fades out. I will put my cursor on it and I will see the list again, but only for one second, then it fades away again.
So I have to guess which order they are in and click and hope it's the right one, ha!
I like the option, it just isn't working right for some reason.

That would indicate an issue with the local network, not internet. This can impact devices differently and will likely be more obvious on a streaming only device.
If you are on wifi try ethernet
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Go to istumbler, netstumbler or similar to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Satellite A500-15N: Can't find Network card XP driver

Hi everyone,
I've just blown away vista on my new A500-15N and installed XP + SP2.
The install went OK but I now have some issues with certain devices not working.
They are: 3 x Base System Device's, 1 x Ethernet Controller, 1 x Network Controller, 2 x PCI Device's, 1 x SM Bus Controller, 1 x Unknown device and 1 x Video Controller (VGA Compatible).
I thought I would be able to load some Network card drivers to enable access to the internet and then be able to download everything else, either automatically or manually. But I can't get any network card drivers to load!!!!!!!
After loading some from the Toshiba web site, it didn't make any difference.
I deleted and then autodetect the network card from device manager but I cannot find any of the installed drivers to get it working.
Does anyone know what I can do to cure this or any of the other issues?
Thanks
MrAngry

Hi
Do you need the LAN or Wlan card driver or both drivers?
As far as I know the LAN card chip is from Realtek (1GB/s) and the WLAN is Intel 5100AGN.
The WLan driver can be found here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300
The LAN driver can be found on the Realtek page:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/
You can check the Toshiba European driver page. Other notebooks series uses the same Realtek LAN card and the driver should run too.

RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the samemachine

Sean,
I mean I am always connecting to the nodemgr of the 2nd environment
successfully. Only when I run the client part of the application that I know
is up, I get a response from the Name Server that it is actually the first
IP address.
I checked again. I defenitely have FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to IP:5004, in my
case, and not the hostname. I don't have FORTE_LOCATIONS set any where. the
NS_ADDRESS for env2 has only 1 IP address associated with it. My Forte
Control Panel on the client, and hence the NS address has only one entry.
I tried going into escript like you said, and the name service still thinks
it is IP1.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

Hmmmm? That is a little odd! Let me rehash what I think you are saying.
You now have two environments each with their own name service with
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS set to a different IP:Port combination. For example you
are doing the steps:
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.1:5000
start the nodemgr for env 1
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=255.255.255.2:5000
start the nodemgr for env 2
Now when you start a client you are always getting the address for env 1
back from the nodemgr. I assume you actually mean the name service? Or, do
you mean you are always connecting to the nodemgr & name service for env
1?
If the first scenario is the case and you are connecting to the nodemgr
for
env 2 but getting back IP's for services listening on the card for env 1 I
would ask you what you are setting the FORTE_LOCATIONS value to before you
start each service. If you are not setting it or are using the host name
it
will register using the IP for the primary network card associated with
the
machine name and I am again assuming that this is env 1. You need to set
the FORTE_LOCATIONS variable to 255.255.255.2:0 (based on the steps above)
before starting your services.
If the second scenario is the case I would have you check what the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS is set to before you start up the client. Once again it
must be the IP:Port combination not host:port combination if you want to
get
anything other than the primary card.
I would also suggest that you do the following. After everything is up
and
running execute the following commands:
escript -fns "ip for env1":port
findsub nameservice
showpart
What you should see is everything currently registered under the name
service. It will have the name and any "locations" (IP and port) that it
is
registered as listening on. I would look for the nodemgr and see where it
has advertised itself. I would then look for any services you expect to
be
registered there and also verify where the have advertised themselves. If
there are multiple locations listed for any one service, the client will
use
the first one in the list.
Do the same for env 2.

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forteis
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for examplemachine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot addressinstead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name
service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do,
the
nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even thoughmy
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address
it
finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in theenvironment
variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses areknown
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always usethe
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the
first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move onto
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with theclient
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the firstentry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it
retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do nothave
a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail
over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewalland
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine whenthe
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to loadbalance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listenon
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both
cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on bothcards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specificin
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cardsand
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, followingyour
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses
for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected onthe
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds
with
a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you
set
the
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the
name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multipleip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at
to
get
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However,
from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the nameservice
to
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using
Forte
3G2.

Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A nameserver
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (insome

including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the realnameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write
application specific proxies.

Can this be done? If so how?

Hello Venkat,
I probably should have mentioned this before. Your are correct. Forte is
doing a host lookup if you are providing a name for example machine1:5000.
You can bypass the host lookup by using the actual ip dot address instead
for example 255.255.255.255:5000. This way you are taking the name service
out od the picture and Forte will use the address provided.

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same machine
My requirement is that my second card serves as best case performance
testing piece. This eliminates the network completely. We went one step
ahead and created a new enviromnent for the second card. Whatever I do, the
nodemgr is returning back the IP address of the first card, even though my
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS does not have the first card in the picture any where.
I think Forte is doing a host look up and returning the first IP address it
finds, as opposed to returning the IP address specified in the environment
variable FORTE_NS_ADDRESS. Is there a way to trick it?

Subject: RE: Is there a way to have 2 network cards on the same

OK, you ran into one of the issues. That is, if both addresses are known
to
the client that is trying to contact the partition it will always use the
first address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. This is because FORTE_LOCATIONS was
designed more as a failover mechanism. So it will always try the first
address in the list and if it succeeds, there is no reason to move on to
the
second.
Now, the second issue is that there is currently a problem with the client
failover to the secondary address in FORTE_LOCATIONS. If the first entry
fails it is supposed to retry on the second entry. Instead, it retries
the
first entry again. I know that Forte knows about this but I do not have a
bug number on it.
With that said, lets look at a possible solution for you. If the real
objective here is to have a back up network card available for fail over
on
the same machine, or use one card to advertise outside your firewall and
one
to use inside, then you will have to contact Forte to determine when the
failover problem will be fixed. But, if the objective is to load balance
across the network cards you could have the environment manager listen on
both ports and then alternate your server partitions across both cards.
For
example:
set FORTE_NS_ADDRESS=card1:5000;card2:5000 and then start up the
environment
manager
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card1:0 (the 0 in the port causes the OS to pick a
port)
and start partition one
set FORTE_LOCATIONS=card2:0 and start partition two
and so on....
In this scenario the environment manager will be listening on both cards
but
each server will be listening on only one of the two cards. So if a
request
comes in for partition1 it will go through card one and if it is for
partition two it will go through card two. You could assign your
partitions
to cards based on expected load.
Well, I am done. I hope this helps!

Sean,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the approach. I was not very specific in
my
question. I do need the ability for server applications to listen and
server
on both the network cards.
I was succesfully able to make the nodemgr listen on both the cards and
actually serve requests coming in from both the cards. But, following your
advise, I took a cautious step with FORTE_LOCATIONS. Here is what I
noticed.
I have an application that has 6 partitions in total. I used
FORTE_LOCATION
to make it listen on 1. Both the cards. 2. Swapped the IP addresses for
both
cards for this application. 3. One card that I want it to listen on. I
tried
all approaches by exporting the locations variable for just this
application. The nodemgr recieves a request from this pc connected on the
second card to talk to one of the partitions. The node mgr responds with a
proxy - with the ip address and socket number of the first card. The
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS variable looks like this:
IP1:5002;IP2:5002.
Is it possible atall to resolve my problem, without having a seperate
environment?
Thanks

Venkat,
Actually, it is possible for Forte to listen on more than one IP andport
combination. The first reply to your message was correct. If you setthe
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS to contain multiple entries before starting the name
service, it will advertise on both. For Forte servers you use the
FORTE_LOCATIONS env variable to get it to advertise on multiple ip:port
combinations.
We were doing something very similar with another customer I was at toget
around a firewall. I will warn you that there are some issues with
FORTE_LOCATIONS that may keep that portion from working. However, from
reading your note, it appears that all you need is for the name serviceto
advertise and listen on multiple ports and that works fine. I justtested
it again for sanity sake and it worked. I ran my test on NT using Forte
3G2.

Venkat,
Technically yes this is possible, though not in Forte. A name server
can
only listen on one port.
To implement this scheme you will have to write a proxy service (in some
language
including perhaps forte) which listens on the well-known port on the
second card, reads requests, then forwards them to the real nameservice
(wkp on the first card), and forwards replies back. This is not
trivial, but some firewall toolkit vendors supply stub code to write

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

can you clarify is you update BIOS too or not?
and what is your current bios version?

what kind of drivers?

have you tried to load last good known configuration or the last windows restore point?
or to reinstall OS?

Help with purchasing correct network card

Hi, I'm trying to set up a wireless network for a friend who has an IBook G3 purchased in December 2002 which I know makes it very old. I have a 802.11g wireless ADSL router successfully set up and the IBook can connect to the internet successfully through a standard network cable to the router.
I would like to connect to the router wirelessly so I would appreciate some guidance on the correct network card to buy for this model
IBook G3 PowerPC Model A1005 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Welcome, Kosh-vorion
first check with the system profiler (Apple->"Abouth this Mac"->"more Info")then "network"->Airport card
whether there is already an airport card build in. if not, you need to buy it and install it; i don't know whether this is easy or not for an iBook to install. There is a manual here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG3_14inchUserGuideMultilingual.PDF
but i'm not sure whether it is exactly your model. (search the Apple supprt pages, if it isn't).
cost of the Airport card is something like 50 $.
If it is already installed, go to "system preferences"-> network and setup.
Post back, if you have more questions.
success,
Thomas

HELP!!! Screen Fades away when open or close the s...

Dear All,
I am Orlando, owner of a Nokia c6-00 phone. Recently I updated my phone to v 41.
and after that a strange issue has occoured. My phone screen fades away when i open or close this sider. I tried googling up this issue. But I guess I am the first one having this issue. I have already tried RESET FACTORY SETTINGS, and reinstalling the upgrade. But of no use.
I have no idea whether it is an hardware issue or a software one.
So, Guys please help me with this issue.
Thanx..!!!

@awesome93
Probably no alternative but to backup essential data then "hard reset" by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user) to exclude any software corruption; although it seems a strange co-incidence there maybe issues with screen flex cable or it's connectors.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5
