Network connection with Microsoft 8.1

I am having problems connecting to the internet. I just bought a desktop with 8.1 already installed onto it. I tried connecting with a ethernet cable and that didn't work and there is nowhere to choose a wifi network. I am not very tech savvy so any information
will be helpful. Thanks

Hi,
For the wired connection, first, please check whether the configuration for the wired connection is fine, I mean the modem\router\outside cable, etc. Try another device to test the connection.
If the connetion is fine, then we can focuse on Windows 8.1, run the troubleshooter and see if it can detect something, Action Center\Troubleshooting\Network and Internet.
Please also check the device status under Device Manager\Network Adapter, to launch Device Manager, you can type "device manager" in the right search charm bar.
Please make sure to keep the latest driver for network adapter.
Regarding to the wireless connection, some desktop PCs do not have this feature, contact the PC vender for confirmation.

After lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

after lion 10.7.3 update messed my mac had to restore from time machine now Outlook won't connect with microsoft exchange, any idea?

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

Sharing a network connection with an Ipad2

I have a windows desktop connected to a network. I'd like to share the network connection with my Ipad while it is connected via the USB cable to the desktop. Is this possible? How?
Thanks,
Shaun

Well duh - no. I misread the question. I share the Internet connection from my iMac which is connected to the Internet via Ethernet cable to the modem.
The iPad shares my iMac's Internet connection through internet sharing. The iPad is not connected to my Mac with the USB cable. Brain clot! But is it not possible to share the connection via Internet sharing in the Windows world?
Sorry to the OP!

Tcpip.sys related BSOD in Vista at either wifi/ ethernet network connection with my university

Dear all,
laptop:: Lenovo X61s 3G L7700
OS version: windows Vista business Sp1
tcpip.sys version: 6.0.6001.22167
wifi: Intel 4965AGN. Standard Gigabyte intel ethernet 82566MM
system drivers and BIOS are the most updated driver.
At my 2 homes using ADSL routers, there are absolutely no problems with network connection by wifi or ethernet. However, blue screen occurs when I bring this laptop to university and connect to the network via either ethernet or wifi. This happened to me a few months back. It crashed EVERY TIME when a network connection was attempted. It did not matter whether I updated my drivers on both wifi or ethernet cards. Whenever I bring it to either of my2 homes, no blue screen ever occurs.
It also happens when I attempt to connect to free wifi network in the airport. It crashes again with EXACTLY the same problem. I have to admit that I do not even where to start looking for the problems. System restore did not solve this either. I ran the WinBug analysis. It pointed towards tcpip.sys. My sys ver is at the top of this message.
Would appreciate if someone can point this to the right direction. I am seriously thinking of downgrading this to XP, since it had NEVER happened to XP.
thanks,
VIncent

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP_M (1000007f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
        use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
        use .trap on that value
Else
        .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
        (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.

Per my original post:
"When my ATV is connected via ethernet, and I attempt to play some internet radio stations, some will work just fine while others won't. For example, when connected to my home network via ethernet, some internet radio channels (I can't give a percentage because I haven't tested all of them) will play just fine, however, others won't. The ATV will attempt to connect, but the spinning progress bar just goes and goes and goes until it eventually errors out (no error number is provided, it just says that there was trouble loading the content). The funny thing (or not so funny thing actually) is that if I unplug the ethernet cable, and connect my ATV to the network via wifi, those same stations that didn't play when ATV was connected via ethernet, WILL play when ATV is connected via wifi. So, in short, some stations play just fine when ATV is connected to home network, through wireless router, via either wifi OR ethernet, yet some will only play when ATV is connected to home network via wifi. I have found this to be the same when it comes to downloading or refreshing the photos in my photo stream. If I throw new photos in my photo stream on iCloud, and the ATV is connected via ethernet, they won't refresh to the ATV, however, if I unplug the ATV and connect via wifi they begin to refresh."
There are dozens of original threads out there that report of similar - if not exact, issues. I have contacted "Roy" per his request and not heard back from him (if such a person exists). I have "restored" my ATV and rebooted all equipment to no avail. Until Apple gets with it, acknowledges their problem, and fixes it, I am resigned to just having to deal with switching back and forth from wifi to ethernet, and so on.

LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP m276nw no network connection with Linksys HUB

Hello
I've setup my LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP m276nw to connect to my home network using a wired connction.
When connected directly to my router the connection initializes and successfully recieves an ip address. I've been able to access all the network function connected to my router directly either wired or wirelessly.
I also have an old Linksys hub and when the printer is connected to the hub, it does not initialize the network connection. The hub works with every other sevice in my network, including a few game consoles and a Mac Mini.
Is there an advance network setting I should be looking at?
Thank you
This question was solved.

Hi,
Remove any wired connection before attempting to connect via wireless.
Print off the printers network configuration and check the settings against your routers settings.
Ensure that router and printer are using the same frequency.
Review this HP posted information once you have the above information in hand.

Cannot obtain network connection with Clear modem. Is there a special trick to get beyond the blinking amber light?

My connection follows this chain:
Clear modem to telephone router
telephone router to network router (in this case I am attempting to set up the AirPort Express in this place).
so I have opened up the Airport Utility and didn't have any luck with getting the Network Connection to turn green and subsequently the AirPort Express is not completing the handshake with the network to get fully connected.
I've gone back to a Netgear router in the meantime and that gets the conection right away. I have only Mac computers connecting to the router and one Epson printer that will connect wirelessly.
Any advice or experiences with this setup would be appreciated. Thanks.

I got the support I needed directly from Apple. It turnsout to have had zero to do with Clear. I had named the new AirPort network the same as the previous network and we concluded that it was making the new settings confused. I did a hard reset, renamed the network to a completely unique name and we were off and running. Thanks Apple!

Using Juniper Network Connect with Lion

Has anyone had an luck using Network Connect to connect to a Juniper VPN with Lion? When I try to connect to secure network using Safari, Network Connect does not install and launch.

What version of Juniper are you folks running? We are still on 6.x (I'll have to check on what X is, I think its 5)
I enabled the java "enable applet plug-in and web sstart applications" and it still gets stuck on our host checker screen.   I set the developer Safari 5.0.6 and it actually gets past host checker, but does not present an option for network connect.
This tells me that host checker is running but no longer seeing what it needs to see (?) for the network connect option to be presented.   I was told by Juniper that an update needs to happen but it won't be availble until September.
Can someone verify they can actually get a network connect session working using Lion and safari 5.1 and how they got it to work, and what version of Juniper they are on?
If we need to get to 7.x we can do it on a test box but moving production there will take a good long time.   We *just* enabled the Mac VPN service at our company, and now those upgrading to Lion are finding themselves once again without VPN capabilities.    This is a real problem as we don't control weather they upgrade or not, and everyone wants to get to the latest OS.
Juniper is on its last legs at our company. This is probably the straw... they should have had this tested by now.

Setting up remote network connection with wrt1900ac nubby question

Hi everyone, I am looking to set up remote network connection = been able to be on my network from public place. I have never done it before and i just purchased wrt1900ac and i was wondering if someone can point me to a step by step guidance how to do so. I also obtain static IP address from my internet provider. thank you in advance. I will be connecting with notebook with windows 7 on it

Typically to access LAN devices directly on a remote network you would VPN into the remote network. Either using Port Forwarding and a VPN Server or using a VPN feature built into the router.
This is assuming you don't plan to use something like Logmein or Gotomypc.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Why do I lose network connection with my standalone networked printer and have to reinstall it

I have a Laser Jet MFP M1530 printer that loses connection with the network. All the computers on the network have to delete the old configuration of the printer and reinstall it prior to it working. The printer is in a standalone configuration. Everything else on the network continues to work.

The Laser Jet MFP M1530 is a commercial product. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
You may find the Laserjet board here.

How to connect with Microsoft Access Database with JAVA

I want to know the command and query to connect between MSAccess and JDBC.
Is it beter way to make connection with MSAccess comparing with other Databases such as SQL and Oracle.
Which Database will be the best with Java?
I also want to know to be platform indepadent which database is suitable?

On Windows, you can use MS Access database by:
Set up a System Data Source using the ODBC control panel applet.
Use the jdbc:odbc bridge JDBC driver, and specify a jdbc url that points to the data source name you just specified.
It's been too long since I've done this, so I don't remember the syntax of the jdbc url, but I'm sure that if you do a search for the jdbc:odbc bridge that you will find what you are looking for.
As far as the question about which database is best, you will need to determine that based on your project requirements.
If you want a quick and dirty, open source, cross-platform database, take a look at HyperSonic SQL.

Calendar Connectivity with Microsoft Exchange Server

Hi Everybody,
We want to use Calendar scheduling activity of Micrsoft Exchange Server in NW Portal Version 7 SP9. However we are stuck up with the following problem.
The Scenario is like:
1)The IIS Server and MS Exchange Server are in same domain.
2)MSX-A component has been /copied installed on IIS Server 5.
3)DLL registered.
4)We are using MS Oultook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003.
5)An IIS website has been created following the guidelines from a PDF document( Its wihtout SSO).
6)Logon Locally permissions given to all users.
When the CDO Version test is executed the common error "Microsoft Outlook not configured for Corporate/Work group access. Reconfigure MS Outlook and try again" is thrown.
As per the information from sdn only MS Outlook 2000 needs to be configured for this.
When the Data Retrieval test is executed an error message "CDO MAPI_E_NOT_INITIALIZED(80040605)" is shown.
Please share your views on this situation.
Suresh Yadav

If I were you, I would create an OSS customer message for this.
Maybe a quick fix though... Have you installed Outlook 2003 on the same server as IIS is running on? Have you run outlook at least once and connected it to your Exchange server, setting it as the default mail client?
Also, there is a note about what to do for exchange transports when you do a portal patch. Applying those steps might be a good idea even if you have not done an upgrade.
Good Luck.

Graham.

It does not help typing anything into the boot loader (grub2)
Lots of things not found and then it just stops trying to load and I have no shell
Now I've got linux-3.1.1 but something is screwed up. I'd like to go back to 3.0
but have too many dependancies on >3.1
Anyway, I tried chrooting into my system with the latest Live CD.
I followed the chroot Wiki but can't get pacman to connect.
Shouldn't there be more to get my network up?
Of course any other suggestions to get the system running again are appreciated.

How did you set up chroot?
FYI, you don't need to chroot to use pacman with a not root filesystem.
man pacman wrote:-r, --root <path>
Specify an alternative installation root (default is /). This should not be used as a way to install software into /usr/local instead of /usr. This option is used if you want to install a package on a temporary mounted partition that is "owned" by another system. NOTE: if database path or logfile are not specified on either the command line or in pacman.conf(5), their default location will be inside this root path.

Share Imac's wifi network connection with iphone

Now I have a problem that is contrary to all I have seen so far. My Imac is often with me in places where I can have wifi network if I declare my MAC address in advance. When I am there, I often want to have network on my Iphone as well, but cannot share that connection because wifi is already used for getting into the net. How can I do access the internet from my Iphone (example: skype or Viber calls from abroad to home) in such situations?

Sorry for:
being so late (I had lost the pointer to this discussion due to a massive change in my machinery)
havig written iMac instead of MacbookPro. I was writing my post from my iMac at home...
However, I do know that every device has got a unique MAC address, and I do know the MAC address of my iPhone. My iPhone is connected to my home Wifi network, which allows access only to devices known by their MAC address.
My problem was that I only got ONE MAC address to declare, eventhough I had two devices. So, I could not directly connect my iPhone to that network, but I could connect my MacBookPro (because I needed the network to resume documents during meeting, and so on). I just wanted my iPhone being able to access the network, even if tethered to my MacBookPro (or, even better, without connecting it physically), but I was not able to do that. I can imagine that from my MacBook I could share the Internet connection via Bluetooth, and I tried that way, but there was no way to couple the iPhone on the Bluetooth connection to do anything significant. Also with the physical connection (cable), I did not see any way to share my network access on my MacBook.
I hope I was clear this time..
