Network Conntection Issues

Have any of you experienced network connection issues, sudden publishing issues, FTP issues/disconnections, pages failing with 500 errors since the last Mac software update?
I ran all the latest updates mid-week last week and ever since my FTP connections have been dropping, posting messages here at the forum often fails or is horribly slow, I'm getting 500 server connection error pages, etc.
I thought it was my site host at first, but I'm beginning to suspect this might be due to something in the software updates that occurred recently.
Ping me if you have any info - Suzanne

Well, that appears to have made a difference. My pages are loading far faster and I had no problem connecting via FTP and haven't been booted either.
It might be wise for those experiencing publishing issues - the kind where it times out or quits without explanation - to reboot, and reset their network. My knowledge in this area isn't great, but I am noticing a stark difference in performance after doing this so who knows.

  • EA4500 – Smart Wi-Fi interface and Windows Network Map issues

    I purchased this Router about 2 weeks ago as a phased upgrade of our Home Network, primarily to enhance media streaming. It has the latest firmware preinstalled from the factory. Prior to the purchase and installation of the EA4500 Router I replaced my old Motorola SurfBoard SB6120 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem with a Motorola SurfBoard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem. My old Linksys E2000 Router worked perfectly with the SB6141, with the exception that the E2000 wasn’t IPv6 enabled, but does have 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45) and Internet ports.
    The EA4500 has been installed for about 10 days and seems to have improved local network speeds and I don’t seem to be having any Internet connectivity issues. However, there are some disturbing issues with the EA4500 and the AE3000 I purchased. There are 11 devices connected through the Router; a Dell Desktop (wireless with the AE3000), a Dell Desktop (Ethernet), a Dell Laptop (wireless), 2 Canon Printers (1 Ethernet and 1 Wireless), 2 Western Digital 1TB MyBookLive Network Drives (both Ethernet), a WD TV Live Streaming Media Player (wireless), an Apple TV media player (wireless), an iPad (wireless), and an Android Smartphone (wireless).
    Issue 1 – The Linksys Smart Wi-Fi interface appears to be unreliable at times!!! I’ve read about this problem here on the Community involving the EA6500, so I don’t know if this is a Linksys Server issue, as suggested in a few responses, or a bug in the Router firmware, or defective hardware. However, when the interface locks up, it can’t be accessed from a wireless or wired connection. Usually, powering down the Router and then powering it back up and restart will allow it to function again. However, at times before the interface completely locks up it shows either just a white screen or the security screen will show no firewall features enabled. This is a little scary, so I’ll do a complete reset and setup; this is becoming a pain in the rear!!!!! Is there any hope for this being fixed, in this Router, not the next generation??????????
    Issue 2 - All of my network devices show up in the Router’s Device List. Except for the Apple devices they also show up, when they are online, in Windows 7 Explorer under Network and when you click on Network they are correctly displayed as Computers, Media Devices, Network Infrastructure, or Storage. However, when you click on “Open Network and Sharing Center” and then click on “See Full Map”; it fails with the response “Windows cannot create the network map. Responses from other devices on the network are delayed or there is an incompatible router on the network”; no device map is shown. When I follow the link for more information, the only thing that stands out is “A device on the network, such as a hub or switch, is not working properly or is not compatible with the Link Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) protocol, which Windows uses to create the map. To fix this problem, disable the device, turn it off, or remove it from your network”. All of my network devices showed up on the Network Map with the old E2000. This issue is the same on all of my computers, either wired or wireless. Any known solutions for this, or is it as Windows suggests; an incompatible Router????
    Thanks in advance for any insight or solutions. With the issues I’m having with the EA4500 and the AE3000; they are both probably going back to Amazon.

    thebluemamba_24; Thank you for your suggestion; I finally found time yesterday to perform an extensive evaluation before I return the Router. However, rather than trying to add devices manually, my rationale was if the EA4500 can’t process them correctly, automatically, it needs to be returned anyway, so I added devices normally letting the device an Router handle the process.
    In thinking through this issue, all devices on our network are detected and identified by Windows Explorer on Windows 7 computers; except of course the Apple and Android devices (Apple TV, iPad, and Smartphone). So, I wondered if one of those three devices being added to the Router’s device list was somehow causing issues or interfering with Windows 7’s ability to generate a Network Map. Therefore, my approach was to turn off or disable all devices on our network, reset the Router to factory defaults, reestablish the Router to my custom Home Network configuration using a Windows 7 PC that has LAN and Wireless access to the Router, then add one device at a time and check with each addition to see if Windows 7 could still generate a Network Map.
    With the Router reset and reestablishment complete; I began the process of adding one device at a time and checking to see if a Network Map was being generated. What I discovered was when a recent addition to the network, a Western Digital WD TV Live Streaming Media Player, was connected (wirelessly), Windows 7 could no longer generate the Network Map and the failure was consistent. The only way to get the Network Map to work again was to remove power from the WD TV Live, although it remained in the EA4500’s Device List; simply turning it off didn’t help. Since I’d originally witnessed the Windows 7 Network Map working with the Linksys E2000 Router that the EA4500 replaced, I decided to test the WD TV Live with that Router. It worked initially, but it failed consistently after the first success. Interestingly, the failure indication was a little different, but nevertheless generation of the Network Map failed.
    I’ve tried changing a few settings on the EA4500 as well as the WD TV Live, but nothing helped. There was a recent firmware update to the WD TV Live, so I might try rolling back the firmware to see if it makes a difference.
    The Network Map issue might very well be an issue with the WD TV Live, not the Router, but after reading many threads on this Community I have reservations that the problems I’m experiencing with the Smart interface lockup will be fixed. I suspect new emerging replacement products will be the focus and these older products will be abandoned and no more firmware fixes will be forthcoming and I don’t want to spend more money for a new product just to fix old problems and get something that works properly. The Network Map issue is troublesome, but the lockup of the Router’s “Linksys Smart Wi-Fi” interface is a serious matter to me. It appears that once it locks up, the only way to correct it is a power off restart; not practical if you’re traveling and trying to access settings remotely; the selling point for this feature.
    Given the problems I’m experiencing with the EA4500 and AE3000, I guess I’ll return them. Too bad, because otherwise the EA4500 seems like it’s a good Router. I’ve been brand loyal since the Linksys WRT54G came out, but after reading this Community and with my personal experience with the EA4500 and AE3000, now I’ll probably give the NETGEAR N900 equivalents a try.

  • The Game Center is "unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors".

    The Game Center is "unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors".
    My internet is fine: all other apps that do not rely on the Game Center work, as does my browser and other online functions; additionally, a friend's iPhone connects to his Game Center perfectly while he is sitting next to me.
    Closing the Game Center app and then reopening it is ineffective. Opening the options for the Game Center in the settings, logging out of my Apple ID, then logging back in, and then reopening the Game Center is ineffective. Opening the options for the Game Center in the settings, logging out of my Apple ID, then reopening the Game Center app and logging back in from there is ineffective.
    This issue has gone on for more than a month, and so the phone has gone through all variations of "turn it off then back on again, refresh the system, etc etc" that are the basic first suggestions for trouble shooting.
    One game app, which required a Game Center profile to launch, stopped working entirely, and would return a message saying something like "connect to the Game Center". I eventually deleted it to free up space. Other games which can be linked to the Game Center to connect with friends simply fail to link, returning "Game Center unavailable". This is the aspect that is currently bothering me the most: I cannot play games with friends unless the app can also link to Facebook and connect to friends from there.
    When I open the Game Center, I see the following screen. The bubbles float gently, and it seems as if I had the ability to update my "status". However doing so results in a message that has vanished once the app is reopened.
    Upon tapping Games, either the bubble from the main screen or the option on the ribbon at the bottom, the following screen appears. Clicking on Challenges shows a message that achievements must be viewed to issue a challenge. Clicking achievements results in a message that games must be connected (and from my friend's phone I know I have several apps that should appear).
    Upon tapping friends, it does show me a list of suggested friends pulled from Facebook, but attempting to send a friend request results in the following screen. After accepting the error box, the "send" button for the request is grayed out and unavailable regardless of adding or deleting friends and/or an accompanying message.
    In short, the Game Center is completely unresponsive for no discernible reason, and this problem began with no warning and is now long term. Though my iPhone is older (a 4s), my friend's is even older (a regular 4) and works fine.

    I am having the very same problem on my iPad running ios 7. All is fine on my iPhone it opens no problem - this is running on ios 8. I wish they would fix it.

  • X6450 network performance issue

    We are seeing a network performance issue using the Blade 6000 chassis with two (10x 1 Gbps Ethernet) NEM modules. The x6450 blades in the chassis have Solaris 10 u7 installed. In our tests, we used two blades in the following manner: each blade had only one network interface connected (and plumbed in the OS level) and each blade was connected to a different NEM. Both blades were connected to the same gigabit switch. There were two other test systems (x2270-s) also connected to the same switch. We ran the following tests:
    both the application client and server are on the same blade (i.e. application is using the loopback network interface): n operations/second (the number here is irrelevant, only the relation to other test numbers are relevant)
    application client on first blade, server on second blade: 0.77 x n operations / second (i.e. 23% degradation)
    application client on blade, server on x2270: 0.77 x n operations /second (i.e. 23% degradation)
    application client on x2270, server on blade: 0.75 x n operations /second (i.e. 25% degradation)
    We ran similar tests with the x2270. We did not see any difference between running the test on the loopback interface vs. running the test between two x2270-s.
    Is there a known issue with these network modules or their drivers?

    Just use a high interval and you see how much throughput you have in that time
    example: dlstat vnet1 120

  • HP deskjet 3520 network print issues

    Getting towards the end of my rope.  I have an HP deskjet 3520 with wireless print capability from the network and have successfully been able to send jobs to the printer to print for the last 11 months.  It can no longer print jobs from the network despite having an IP address and being visible by all machines connected to the network.
    Each time I try to send a document to be printed.
    I do not have MAC address filtering enabled on the router.  I've updated the firmware via USB connection and re-installed the drivers and software to no effect.  I've power-cycled the device, restarted the computer(s) that would print via the network to the printer, etc.  I've done everything that I know how to get network printing fixed with no success.
    I've also run the print doctor 4.5 program which can find the printer on the network, but then gets no response from the device when trying to access it.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem with this model?  Any ideas as to what can be done to get it to start printing documents that get sent to it form the network?  I've been directed to this forum off web searches, but there are a lot of responses with links in them that have ether been relocated to a different web address, or have been deleted.
    Any help is greatly apprectiated.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey @Tom801,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like assist you today with resolving the network communication issues you're experiencing with your HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer. As I understand, you are able to 'see' the printer through the Print and Scan Doctor and from the other computers on your network. But, you are not able to print to the Deskjet. I have a few troubleshooting suggestions to start with.
    Gather the IP Address:
    1. Select the Wireless Button on the front panel of your printer.
    2. Your IP address should now display, please note down what this is.
    Open the EWS Browser:
    1. On one of the computers that you would normally use with this printer, open your Internet Browser.
    2. In the website address bar at the top of the page type in your IP address (do not include www.)
    3. Select enter on your keyboard to search for the printer Embedded Web Server.
    Does a website open for your printer?
    If the printers website opens than that proves that the printer is in fact still connected and communicating with your wireless network. If the website fails to open than the printer is being blocked from the network.
    You noted in your post that you have Mac Filtering disabled, updated the firmware for the printer, and powercycled the printer and computer. Did you ever powercycle the router? If not, can I please have you do that now.
    How to Properly Powercycle your Network:
    1. First, unplug your routers power cable 
    2. Power off your printer
    3. Power off your computer
    4. After 30 seconds to 1 minute plug in your router
    5. Turn on your printer
    6. Turn on your computer
    Once the network connection is re-established on your computer and printer please check your IP address once again on the printer using the steps I provided above.
    Can you open the printer website now with the IP Address?
    If yes, than it seems like your router had blocked communication to the printer. To avoid this in the future you can:
    Open the Router Ports:
    - Incoming (UDP) Ports:
    137, 138, 161, 427
    - Outgoing (TCP) Ports:
    137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
    Also, you can refer to the steps within Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection for additional configuration options. Focus on Solution two for assigning a static IP.
    Please let me know if the steps provided resolve you issue. Good luck!

  • (Lync 2013) Lync Web App: Call ended because of network connectivity issues

    I'm having a very strange problem with Lync Web App. When I try to join a meeting, it works in the following conditions:
    - With the Lync 2013 windows client: always (internal network, external network)
    - Lync Web App:  Works in internal network. When I'm on an external network, I'm able to join a meeting, but when Lync Web App tries to establish the call, it ends with the error: "Call ended because of network connectivity issues". 
    On the other hand, IM works with Lync Web App (internal/external network). But all the other features (presentation, audio call, video call) are not working.
    Did anyone experience such an issue ?

  • New Airport Extreme802.11n &Very Odd Network&Computer Issues

    Hi,
    We Replaced a D-Link DGL4300 802.11G and a Airport Express M9470LL/A with the most current Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11N 2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz Dual Band and a Airport Express 802.11N (to use with a Shared USB HP1022 Laser Jet Printer. I have contacted Apple Tech Support once regarding setup and mentioned this other ? strange issue(s)
    We have broadband cable that goes to a Motorola SB5101(meets ISP specs) then Ethernet cable
    from Cable Modem to Wan Port on Airport Extreme. We have multiple computers all with wireless capability 1) Imac 800mhz 874 mb ram 802.11bAirport Card 2) eMac 1.0 Ghz 1gb ram Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card
    3) eMac 1.25 Ghz 1.0gb ram and a Airport Extreme 802.11bWireless Card* all running OSX Panther 10.3.9 *and each with 802.11B wireless cards 4) Macbook Pro bought Dec 2009 running Snow Leopard 4gb ram and 250gb HDand 802.11n wireless card 5) HP Tower xw4550 running Win XP Pro SP3 4gb ram 500GB HD and a 802.11G wireless card 6) Dell Mini Net Book running Win XP Home SP3 1ghz 1gb ram 150 GB HD and a
    802.11n wireless card.
    At first tried setting up the Airport Extreme with the Dell Mini as it met specs and (as of Yesterday) the Mac Book Pro is with one of our children at college but was able to set up setting up the Airport Utility and Hardware for both Peripheral Devices with the Mac Book Pro.
    Then things got odd. All the computers were online (as well as two wireless "Live" capable gaming systems XBox360 and Sony PS3 , I did not check my eMac until the next day
    and when I woke it from sleep (or started it) I got "You need to restart your computer"
    ? Kernel Panic , I ran Disk Utility, Tech Tool Deluxe, Apple Hardware Test and even Applejack. no change and while permissions were repaired Tech Tool Deluxe and The Apple Hardware Test showed no faults with anything, Tried PRAM. restart etc, then we had the other eMac 1.0ghz which has been unused since the Mac Book Pro arrived as a gift, Plugged it in , started it up, and got online, no black screen, even checked and responded to email, then restarted the (2nd eMac 1.0ghz) and the "You need to restart your computer screen came up!) once seems oh maybe, possibly its crashed, or dying out
    but two side by side, No Way! , so we then isolated electrical outlets, to the extent with a 100 foot extension cord outside on our back breezeway, same thing. We even went and bought a new battery and tried it in both , no change, * Was able to shut off the airport card in safe mode, restarted and it functioned as a normal computer with airport extreme card off
    *same with the 1.0ghz emac airport card off and restart and functions as a computer but no online access. We then moved one close to the Airport Extreme and hooked up by ethernet and changed the settings and Bingo no Kernel Panic Like screen and can get online, tried the other same thing! So currently the two eMacs sit side by side and we bought a long ethernet cord and it works on the table where it originally was,
    I did mention this to the Apple Technician that called from Apple regarding a setup issue (as have 90 days telephone support) and he said *That there have been reports of where there are with a Guest Network (we had one set up and He had us remove it as He asked if we really needed it and I said no AND also with networks with computers with wireless cards 802.11b
    and 802.11g computers on a network with the802.11n computers and a 802.11n Airport Extreme, he could not explain it any further, he suggested a possible 3rd party software incompatibilty : recent download (but have not done any on the 1.25ghz eMac and the 1.0ghz has been shut
    off since Dec 2009. I am baffled , my Wife and I were seriously considering buying a new Imac to replace the 1.25ghz after the Black screen showed up, but when the other one did the same, and did the trouble shooting and then the ethernet connect we saved ourselves a lot of money (t would be nice to have a new Imac but $$ is not there)
    and in the past week now (could be our ISP) our Internet connection has dropped off 4 times usually for 30-45 minutes but Friday 8-20-10 it was over 3 hours (yet our Cable TV came in) I will contact our ISP who handles both the broadband about the outages
    and our cable TV has been fuzzy -grainy at times, I called Them Friday and their were no outages in our area (system wide) Now though (except with Win XP) that is our access to the Airport Extreme and Utility (it blinks orange off and on when the internet is down) the Airport Express has stayed green each time. I will contact Apple also as ?
    is it the Airport Extreme (but its intermittent) channels are set to automatically if thats helpful data rather than set to a specific channel, its fairly rural where we live
    I thought of buying Tiger but saw the extreme prices and I called Apple per a recent Apple Thread they did not have Tiger Retail(nor did I expect then to) but after discussing
    the Emacs they said why pay so much for Tiger (and a lot are used) they said and went over both eMacs specs and I checked in detail online and called them back as it was in a "card hold" and bought Leopard 10.5.6 (as min of 512 ram, DVD drive (have a combo -drive) and a Power PCG4 which both are and I am now getting unused (non System) data off the eMac and backing it up as well and its job will be to be able to access the Airport Utility (Apple OSX Leopard 10.5.6 was $129.00 plus tax free shipping and it arrived yesterday so if settings need changed can do that (with Win XP the Airport Utility
    was so different and after about 4 hours and no progress I stopped and switched to he Laptop the next day!
    Has anyone experienced anything like this, I read up on both peripherals before buying and called as well to the Apple Online Store to make sure we could 1) set it up and 2) all computers specs were met to be able to a)use the network for online use and b)as well as shared printing from any and all computers and they do meet the specifications
    * one last item , my Wife's Imac is also on via Ethernet, It asked for a WEP password and that was not a option in the Airport Utility set up ,only WPA-WPA2 Personal password-Security configuration
    so She is not on wirelessly (though I know She has been as in the past, Her Imac was on a desk in the foyer ) That may have been with the 802.11b Apple Airport white dome and not the D-Link 802.11G router of which we had a lot of configuration issues
    *I could be wrong and will read up on her specs via the Mac Tracker application or online
    Many Thanks, Its so odd I did not want to leave out data etc but its a *long post and I apologize for that, I hope some one can send some light on this. On a positive avoided buying a new computer!
    but makes no sense (at least to us)!

    It would be very helpful to know how this original post was resolved. The G4 SHOULD be able to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n in theory, right??

  • Solaris 10 Dev. Edition - Network config issue (NIC,DHCP,Can't ping router)

    I am a developer getting started with Solaris 10 configuration. I recently installed Solaris 10 and have run into an issue with network connectivity.
    I have done much research on this and I was able to get communiction to the internet established once, but the settings were lost on reboot.
    Overview - The Solaris box is connected to a router which is acting as a DHCP server.
    AMD 64 dual 2.6
    nForce4+ integrated NIC
    1) I am not able to obtain an address from the router. Nor do I get a respons back when I ping it. I get an IP etc if I boot into Windows so phyicial connectivity is fine.
    2) Upon reboot the device nfo0 as shown using ifconfig -a has an IP of 0.0.0.0.
    3) If I run ifconfig [hostname] my machine gets the ip from the hosts file, but I would like to obtain this from the router.
    4) NOTE - the machine shows as active on my router, but the Solaris box cannot be reached from other computers on the networ, nor do I get a reply back when pinging the router from the Solaris box.
    GOAL - reach and obtain a DHCP from the router and have the changes stick upon reboot.
    /etc/hosts contents
    127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
    192.168.1.55 solarisX /*<-- this is what I get when I do ifconfig nfo0 solarisX */
    /etc/hosname.nfo0
    netmask + 255.255.255.0
    solarisX
    /etc/defaultrouter
    192.168.1.254
    /et c/netmasks
    192.168.0.0 255.255.2550
    Specific Steps taken:
    Using the driver nfo-2.4.5 locate at http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ I did the following.
    % cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
    % rm obj Makefile
    % ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
    % ln -s ${KARCH} obj
    where ${KARCH} is the result of `isainfo -n`, and ${COMPILER} is
    "gcc" or "suncc" which you want to use to make the driver.
    4. Testing
    Testing before installation is strongly recommended.
    # cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    # ./adddrv.sh
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
    # modload obj/nfo
    # devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
    # ifconfig nfoN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
    # ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for nfoN)
    # ifconfig nfoN YOUR-HOST-NAME
    # ifconfig nfoN ( ensure IP address is correct)
    # ifconfig nfoN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
    5. Installation
    After you ensure that the nfo driver is fully functional, install it.
    (1) copy the nfo driver into the kernel directory
    # cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
    # /usr/ccs/bin/make install
    If you do not test the nfo driver yet, execute the following commands:
    # ./adddrv.sh
    # devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
    (2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
    /etc/hostname.nfoN
    (3) Reboot the system.
    # init 6

    Thanks Alan. I worked on trying to get the NIC working again last night. I had it working once, although the settings did not perist. I can still get the device to load, but I can't communciate with the router (it's not physical because another OS can reach it.
    I took your advice and tried the sys-unconfig. But I did not have much success.
    I am wondering if plopping in a new PCI NIC would be the most efficient route to get the server up.
    What kind of NIC do you utilize and have had success with?
    I am looking at possibly a DLINK DFE-530 or NetGear FA-311. I don't need wireless at this point just a rock solid DEV box.
    Thanks again for the previous info.

  • Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 network print issue after installing XP SP3

    I administer a network of 30+ workstations, and since installing Acrobat 8.1.2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3, I've been experiencing odd behavior from the print function in the reader.
    Staff can open a pdf document with no issues, but when they try to print to a network printer, nothing happens. I then in turn open wordpad on their workstation, do a "File, Print", and the print functions properly.
    I then can go back to the reader, and the print job will work.
    Nothing has changed on my network in regards to previous settings, with the exception of installing reader 8.1.2, and XP SP3.
    Any ideas, or potential solutions?

    You are not alone. I hope you get some response. We have seen nor heard anything.
    See: http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/?13@@.59b56569/6
    Title: Adobe Reader v8.1.2 Compatible with Windows XP Pro SP3
    One ray of hope is that it seems to be getting quicker. I don't know why but I'll take it!
    When I go to this Windows XP link,
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/default.mspx
    it says I am running SP2 instead of saying I am running SP3, which is what my System Properties says is installed. Just something to think about and perhaps check.
    Good luck!

  • Server 2012 R2 Network Teaming Issues After Adding WOW64 Feature

    Recently I have had a specific issue adding the WOW64 feature to an active Server 2012 R2 server in core mode (no management).  The server had two active virtual machines.  A server 2008 R2 in version 1 mode and a 2012 R2 in version 2.  
    All were up2date as of April 10 2015.  This was a domain connected core with domain connected virtual machines.  We are the domain administrator.
    After using powershell to install WOW64 and issuing a restart we lost all external network connectivity to the server once the server came back up.  From the console we could ping 127.0.0.1 and all the network addresses of each VM but not the
    default gateway or any address on the local network.  We tried several resolutions including disabling all firewall rules and assigning a known VLAN but nothing worked.  Something went completely haywire within Windows 2012 R2 and network teaming
    and the virtual switch that supplies the VM's with communication.
    What we had to do was remove one of the physical network adapters from the team using powershell from the core console.  We then assigned an address to the nic and whallah we were able to remotely communicate to the server again but the problem
    still remained with communicating to the team.   
    After hours of trials we finally stumbled on a solution deleting the hyper-v virtual switch though a remote console, then the team through powershell.  This of course broke all the hyper-v VM's.  We said f'it and rebooted. 
    This is the magical combination apparently
    We then recreated the team using the remote management GRAPHICAL widget using every physical EXCEPT the nic we were communicating to.   Then we recreated the hyper-v virtual switch remotely again with the GRAPHICAL widget and assigned
    it an address using the command line sconfig tool.   We then went into the GRAPHICAL hyper-v manager and assigned all VM's to the new virtual switch.  WOW everything works again
    Let me just say here in this post that the lack of graphical management in CORE mode is a complete nightmare.  The fact we have to use some graphical tools to perform certain tasks and the command line for others is just silly.  The sconfig.exe
    tool should have built-in teaming commands as inexperienced remote administrators are very difficult to work with over the phone trying to explain spelling of the upper/lowercase commands. 
    This post is more informative than really asking a specific question but if I were to ask one I'd ask, why did installing the WOW64 feature and rebooting break the external communication of the team and the virtual switch?

    Hi gettnmorebetter,
    Could you try to confirm whether you have in the following situation, if you do not found the related symptom please try to install the latest update then monitor the issue
    again.

  • IPhone6 network connection issue under WIFI environement

    At first, my iphone can successfully connect to the company's Wifi, surfing the internet through Safari without any problem.
    But here comes the strange thing. If I don't use my iphone for about one hour, then I cannot surf anything through Safari. The error message says "Safari could not open the page because the server stop responding". All other APP cannot get data either. Even I turn off the wifi and use my 3G network, still the same issue.
    Now, the work-around is to reset the network settings or reboot my iphone, but I am looking for the root cause of this problem and solution to solve this. A solution is to modify the configuration, not to reboot iphone,
    Anyone can tell me what the root cause is and how to solve it forever? Thanks a million in advance

    Did you contact O2 to see if there are local network issues or if you're not in a coverage area?
    Try:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Settings > General >Reset > Reset All Settings
    Replace the SIM card
    Restore in iTunes from a backup
    Restore as a new iPhone

  • Hp officejet 6500 e709n series wireless network connection issues

    My HP officejet 6500 e709n series all-in-one printer was working perfectly fine the last time I used it (admittedly a couple of months ago).  Now it seems like the printer thinks it is connected to the wireless network, but the computer thinks it isn't.  I have run the wireless network test report off the printer a couple of times.  The first time it said it couldn't detect any issues.  The second time it said the only possible issue is that "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireles router".  I have NO IDEA how to turn that off.  I also don't know why this would suddenly be an issue since the printer was working fine a couple of months ago and we haven't changed anything since then.  I have also run the network configuration page off the printer and it seems to think everything is fine.
    When I run the troubleshooter off my computer (hp pavilion running Windows 7) it says "Printer hp officejet 6500 e709n series fax cannot be contacted over the network".  I am getting very frustrated.  How do I fix this problem?

    What router?  What operating system?  Have you run the Wireless Setup WIzard from the Network menu on the front of the printer?  Do that.

  • LaserJet pro 200 color MFP M276nw Network Setup Issues

    Successfully set up the printer. Elected to use Wifi option. Wireless computers are able to print to it no problem. Went to go do my first scan, and it tells me to setup the print to network drive. So i go to do this, and the HP software on the host computer (with USB connection) tells me that it can not setup unless is printer is connected to a network. 
    Obviouslly it is connected to a network....
    So turned off Wifi. Turned off printer. Wired it to the router. Turned on. And still get the error message. For that matter, can not find in the Printer menu (on printer) where i can "setup" a wired connection. 
    I am a computer nerd, but for some reason i gots the dumb today. Some pointers would be appreciated - regarding the printer that is.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @joe_smoe ,
    I see that you are having issues Scanning from the printer's control panel, you are getting a message to setup the printer to a network drive. I would be happy to help you.
    I have provided some steps for you to try. I would suggest though, since the printer is already on the wireless network with the other computers, to just create a new port for wireless on the computer that was setup by a USB connection, instead of setting up the Ethernet connection. A Ethernet connection will turn off the Wireless on the printer.
    Since you are now connecting the printer to the router by a Ethernet connection, you can print a Configuration Page to get the printer's IPv4 address. HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276n and MFP M276nw - Printing a Configuration Report.
    Then you can create a new port for the Ethernet connection.
    Then go into Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
    Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
    Type in the proper IPv4 address for the printer.
    Make sure the printer is online.
    Test the printer.
    Here is a document for how to Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder) for HP Lase...
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Network Printing Issues

    I have the HP Color LaserJet CP4525 printer and it is giving me issues when it comes to printing because when I try to print a document on Microsoft Word it says there's no connection or the printer is out of toner, which is true but only for the color toners, the black toner is always full because it's the only one we need. What I've done to deal with this problem is that I unistall the printer from the "View devices and printers" window and then I re-install its drivers from the Network window by right-clicking on the printer's icon and clicking on Install, it then looks for an update on Windows Update and proceeds to install the driver. After it's finished, I'm once again able to print normally on the computer I just re'installed the driver, but for some reason the next day, or when the computer restarts and I try to print something, the same problem occurs and I must do all the previous hassel again. 
    I'm starting to feel frustrated because when someone needs to print something they're always yelling my name because they're not able to if I don't do all that re-installing and time-wasting procedure again. I was thinking on resetting the printer to Factory Settings and hope it  works well again, but I'll wait and see if anyone on here can help me out. So please help me on this and guide me on what I must do.

    The publishing of the printers from the PC can be impacted by the account you are using to connect to the other computer. If the PC is XP SP2 then either enable the guest account (which isn't that safe) or create an account with a password for the Mac to use when connecting to the PC. Then when you browse the Network Neighborhood and select the PC, you will be prompted to enter these account details you have just created for the Mac on the PC. After this you should see all the printers that have been shared in your list. The issue then is using a driver that is capable of working across the network. Most of the new drivers for the 'toy' printers cannot function across a network. Therefore you have to use either one of the provided GIMP-print drivers that are included with OS X or find an alternate driver from applications like PrintFab. If you can tell us which model of printer you want to print to (and maybe the other models also in case they are a better option) then one of us can suggest what may be the best alternative (if needed).
