Network Utility - packet transfer despite all network connections set as Inactive

Within Network Utility...
Transfer Statistics - Why do the values for Sent & Received Packets continue to show an increase when all Network Services are set as Inactive?

That did it- thank you very much!
edit: not sure how to put [SOLVED] in the topic...

  • 2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

    2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
    On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
    I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
    My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
    Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

    It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
    For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
    I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
    This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
    Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
    Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
    There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
    Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

  • Network connecting setting in VM

    The below issue could be duplicated in VM. But this issue is about signed name. If there are any suggestion or solution, this is very very appreciated.
    There is a windows service exe (vc6 code) which will call some COM interface (.net code, signed name dll file).
    Scenario 1:
    1) The network connection of the virtual machine settings is Host-only.
    2) The COM dll is signed name file.
    It costs lots of time (more than 1 minitues) to create com instance.
    Scenario 2:
    1) The network connection of the virtual machine settings is Host-only.
    2) The COM dll is un-signed name file.
    It costs less than 1 second to create com instance.
    Scenario 3:
    1) The network connection of the virtual machine settings is Bridged.  And the host computer had never had access to Internet.
    2) The COM dll is signed name or un-signed name.
    It costs less than 1 second to create com instance.
    What's the relationship between network connection setting and signed name?
    Thanks Very Much!
    Scott

    Any words?
    Thanks

  • Network connection setting MTU9000 and sleep mode

    Hi, does somebody recognised a problem when connected via ethernet with an MTU setting of 9000 or 4500 (jumbo frames) when waking from sleep ?
    my finder "freezes" with an spinning wheel of death when connecting to an share, till i change the network settings or restart the machine.
    i connect to an NAS which runs only useable speeds with jumbo frames, my switch and the NAS supports jumboframes-9000, but i think its an MacOs issue....
    greetings

    Welcome to the forums!
    Only if it's Ethernet, not Airport/Wireless, because the radios are shut down to save energy.

  • Beats audio volume very low despite all settings being set to their max

    I've tried adjusting every setting availble in both windows and Beats control panels. This has always been a problem since I bought the compueter. I'm just tired of having to stick my ear next to the speakers to hear anything. Ear phone plug and ear phone volume control works fine. Both speakers are working, just with no power. HP Envy 14 Notebook Windows 7 Pro 64 bit I5 CPU

    hi
    I hope that your beats has been deactivated.
    Press (fn and b) keys atonce to activate beats audio..
    if not solved, uninstall your audio driver software,
    restart your pc.
    and reinstall them...
    hope this helps.

  • Mac Mini *half* loses all network connections

    Cheers folks, new one on me.  I have a Mac Mini 2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo. It's running a fully-updated 10.6.8.  It's connected via ethernet to an Airport Extreme which is extending an 802.11N network from another Airport Extreme elsewhere which is connected to the router.  The network is set with IPv6 *off* and is configured to run over Ethernet normally (this is because a wired-only NAS is connected to the same Airport Extreme as the Mini).
    Here's the symptom, and it's an odd one for me:   Every couple of days, the entirety of the Mac OS X layer (not the BSD layer) will lose network connectivity.  More specifically:
    No web browser will work ('Not connected to the Internet').
    Home Sharing, served on this Mini, will cease to be visible from elsewhere in the house (AppleTVs lose it).
    No internal services can be reached by name, either DNS or BonJour.
    The App Store says 'can't connect.'
    iTunes will say it can't connect to the ITMS.
    This is true on Ethernet *or* on Airport (the Mini usually runs on ethernet alone with AirPort off; bringing up Airport once this has occurred doesn't seem to help anything).
    Running the Airport Utility, it sees *no devices* (there are 4 on this network)
    BUT!
    If I go into the Terminal, I can not only get clear network traffic anywhere I want at the TCP layer, DNS seems to work as well.  So the following is true also:
    'ping cisco.com' (or any valid DNS name) works fine - resolves DNS, pings.
    'traceroute cisco.com' works fine - resolves DNS, traceroutes out across the internet, no problems.
    'ping <IP address of NAS>' - works fine.
    'dig <name>' - works fine.
    pinging the gateway (the router airport) works fine.
    Also:
    Other Macs in the house (on wired OR wireless, connected to any of the AirPorts including the same one as the Mini) work fine.
    Other Macs can see the NAS connected to that same AirPort fine.
    iOS devices in the house connected to any AirPort work fine.
    netstat -r shows what look to be proper routes - i.e. the default gateway is the router address (10.0.1.1) and the route to 10.0.1.1 is shown to be the MAC address of the router's Ethernet interface (anyway, as I mentioned above, network stuff from the shell works fine<!?!??!
    Steps tried:
    Turning off ipv6 - nope.
    Applying all firmware/software updates (OS X 10.6.8) - nope.
    Tried manually setting DNS to Google public DNS servers - nope.  Those work fine, and are still set when the network drops out, and then don't work, nor does setting new DNS servers in the Network prefpane.
    Logging out/back in - nope.
    Restarting the computer:  YES.  This works, all three times this has happened (all this week).  Serious PITA.
    I tried going through the system log, but I don't see anything notable that changes or is logged when the network connection drops.
    Every time the connection has stopped working, the computer *has* slept at some point since it was last known working, but if I sleep the computer manually, everything seems fine.
    .....waaaaaaaah!  Help, this one is making me crazy. :-)  Thanks.  I'm terminal-savvy, and fairly OS X savvy.

    I still have this issue.  About every one hour - two days the DNS layer will stop working and only a restart will fix it.
    Killing mDNSResponder only resolves the issue sometimes and even then for a few seconds.
    I have now found and created the following bash script, to see if this will be a more reliable non-restart fix that killing mDNSResponder in the terminal:
    #!/bin/bash
    #Script to unload and reload mDNS as it is a bit crappy
    sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
    echo "mDNS unloaded"
    sleep 5
    sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
    echo "mDNS loaded"
    sleep 5
    echo "Hopefully you can get on with browsing again"
    I saved the above as mdns_reload.command, and then in Terminal ran "chmod u+x mdns_reload.command".  This makes the script executable.
    The next time the problem occurs I am going to test how good this script is as a resolution.
    The second time the problem occurs I am going to try the following, from a different thread from 2011:
    I don't know if anyone will be helped by this, but the Macbook problems connecting to the internet are directly related to DNS issues. I discovered this after an upgrade to the OS X Lion preview.
    The symptoms are as follows: a macbook (pro, mini, etc) can get an IP address from a DHCP server on any given network, but can not connect to the internet, even though other computers on the same network have no issues. If this sounds familiar, read on.
    The problem is not related to 3rd party products, routers, Airport settings, locations or public vs private DNS servers, and you don't need to reset SMC or PRAM.
    You will need to use terminal and you DO NOT want to use disk utility to repair permissions.
    The most direct way to fix this is to copy the com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist and com.apple.mDNSResponderHelper.plist files from an internet connected Mac into your /System/Library/LaunchDaemons directory.
    (You should know that it probably doesn't matter what version of OS X you have or the other Mac has, you just need the files.)
    Next you will need to change ownership of the files just copied (ex: chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist and chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponderHelper.plist)
    Then, you will need to set correct permissions (ex: chmod -R 755 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist and chmod -R 755 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist)
    The last thing you'll want to do is to verify that the ownership of the files copied is set to system (and maybe wheel) using "Get Info." (Conversely, you can use ls -l /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist to verify owner and permissions.)
    You should not have to restart to connect immediately to the internet.

  • Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) - All network connections fail at least once a day

    Hi,
    We have Jabber for Windows 9.1(3) running, with the MSI 3.2 installed as well.
    At least once a day my computer stops making network connections (Outlook gets disconnected, Internet Explorer cannot connect to Google, Chrome also fails). When I shut down and restart Jabber all network IO resumes.
    Has anyone seen this behavior?
    I've made two problem reports for this. Is anyone interested?
    Regards,
    Erik Tamminga
    PS. Server side we're running all 9.1 versions.

    We had the same issue and logged a TAC case, and the final result was to uninstall media services as mentioned above. Obviously now you no longer have desk phone video.
    The new 9.2 beta has a new media service version, and the rollout of the new 9.2 client is mid march I believe, so hopefully this rectifies the problems, because if it doesn't I think this would not be a good thing for Jabber as a product unfortunately.
    Cheers

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

  • Have not been able to update to iPhone softwareversion 5.1. I keep getting the message that the network connection could not be established even though I have been buying apps from iTunes all evening.

  • All in One Printer, losing network connection

    I have an HP Photosmart, 5510.  It's only about a year old but is now always losing the network connection.  I have it set up properly (it has actually worked!) to the wireless router.  Most times now when I need to print, it tells me the printer won't communicate with the computer.  I have taken it off the network, put it back on, and it says it is all connected.  I have printed out the network status page, all is okay, no problems found.  Why then am I still unable to print? This is very frustrating. 
    I have it set up to my Macbook Pro and my iPad.  It has previously worked on both devices, but I can't seem to get it back to working order now. 
    I have looked at the forum here and have seen many many people with the same problem, but most seem to be using a Windows operating system.  Any ideas on what to do?  I really need to print!!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I feel that perhaps either my post was in haste or in error since I did not see the above solution you provided when I posted this.  I do not mind helping you out with router and network problems either way, but since you do not know the name of your router, it will be hard for me to assist with that.  I will say, you can always contact your internet service provider and have them check for a firmware update if you have to reset the router that often. If you look on the back of the router you will see little numbers (specifically a model number).  
    Is that IP address that of the router or the printer?
    Either way, I am very happy to hear you were able to get it working again.  If you need any more assistance let me know which device has that IP address and at least a model number so I can look up your type of router and let you know if a firmware is available.  I'm happy to help!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

  • T410 loss of network connectivity - Packet Scheduler Miniport driver

    Hi
    Our organisation has recently received its first shipment of T410 laptops. After installing our XP SP3 build we're experiencing an issue whereby the laptops are working pefectly, but after a shut down, the next time the device is powered on network connectivity is lost. In device manager, adjacent to each network adapter device, a new device appears for 'Packet Scheduler Miniport' and each of these has a yellow exclamation mark indicating the device us unavailable.
    Rebooting the laptop sometimes resolves the issue, the packet Scheduler Miniport devices disappear from device manager and network connectivity is restored. However, after a subsequent reboot the problem returns. We've tried reflashing the system BIOS but affected machines have the most recent version (1.25, 07/03/2010). We've also tried downloading the relevant network driver directly from intel and installing to no avail.
    We've been unable to spot any pattern to the fault occuring, it appears to be completely random. has anyone else experienced similar issues with an XP build on the T410? My searches have brought up similar issues relating to the Packet Scheduler Miniport but nothing specifically in relation to the T410. It's worth noting our build for the T400 contained the same application suite and we haven't had a single issue like this throughout the life of that model.
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi I just found your posting regarding the same exact issue I had. The way around this issue is to go to device manager select the Intel adapter for lan and un install it but without removing the application just uninstall the drivers when finish click on scan for new devices and when done you will have a connection it seems like some of the windows 7 libraries clashes with the adapter libraries and fail to acknowledge one to the other.
    Hope this helps
