  • Iphone 5 network issue

    Hi I am using I Phone 5 since past two years. The Network career is Airtel. Now a days I am facing problem like Incoming & outgoing call drop.Connectivity of calls. and Network fluctuations. Also cannot access the internet due to same reason.Whereas I am using one more phone (another Blackberry )with same career & that's working properly. Initially i thought it is problem due to Nano SIM provide by the career & replaced the SIM few days back, but problem is remain the same.Please help.

    Anything to do with connectivity on your phone and fluctuations in signal is a carrier issue and primarily issue, so there is absolutely nothing that anyone here can do to help you.
    You need to contact your carrier about this problem - only they can help you.

  • A 10 Steps Plan to Qualify Cisco Certifications

    The networking industry over the last few years has made exceptional development so has increased the demand of networking professionals. Cisco Corporation is heading the networking industry by offering networking data management and all other highly specialized solutions for networking such as voice, video, and wireless. IT industry and economy are unpredictable and -it’s very important for an IT professional to keep himself updated with the new inventions in IT field. Networking professionals who want to secure their career and want to move up to the next higher level of their career often opt to go for Cisco Certifications. However most of the time they get confused which course they should take and what plan they should follow to competently complete their Cisco Certifications.
    The issue is not that you complete your
    Cisco certification but you should try to achieve quality Cisco Certification. High professionals often choose not to go for “paper Certification; paper certification is just like paper with prints on it but with little practical knowledge about the related subject. When as a networking personal you decide to go for any Cisco Certifications then always go for quality certification and it demands both your quality efforts and time that turns into more technical knowledge and polished skills. This what paper certifications lack!
    In order to help you to obtain a quality Cisco certification below are 10 steps that can help you to plan well your study and develop the right and in-depth knowledge of different networking aspects. Below are those 10 steps;
    1 – You are your expert!
    While working in your networking field you may come across many other professionals who believe in themselves as experts in networking.  These individuals are often seen as technology giants for new comer s in the networking field but this not true. The networking field has become so vast with everyday changing technology that it’s almost impracticable for someone to be an expert. What you can do yourself is to be an expert of yourself by mastering some of the networking technologies.
    The rapid inventions in networking fields are making it irresistible for someone to ignore the developments in networking.  To be a competent networking professional it’s not necessary that you get hands on all the networking areas but you can choose a specific line and improve your skills in that particular area. Cisco systems offer a lot of courses in many areas of networking and you can choose any of your interest and go for its certification for example telephony, data security, or wireless. Once you are sure which certification you have to go for then put all your efforts into it. Don’t try to know each and every single thing related to technology the more delay you make in Cisco Certification the more delay is in your professional career development.
    2 – Focus on your area of interest!
    Cisco system proposes a variety of certifications in different areas of networking. The two most demanded and worldwide respected Cisco certifications are CCNA and CCNP. These two courses focus on the most dominant areas of the networking that is routing and switching. CCNA-Security and CCSP modules focus on the network security issues such as firewalls, intrusion detection and avoidance and more. While CCNA-Voice and CCVP tracks deal in the telephony technologies.  Cisco offers many other modules of your interest that worth for your success in networking.  However you main focus should be a single areas of your interest!
    3- Make sensible investment in your future!
    When you decide to go for any Cisco certification you have to invest a lot of your time, energy and money. Before going for the final exams you have to fully prepare yourself in all facets that help you in the victorious completion of your exam. Always try to make wise investment in proper study material; your investment in low profile study material would lead to less knowledge and low scores.
    While starting preparations for Cisco exams never study any material that you find; spend some time to find the appropriate material. To assist you in preparation Cisco has introduced some books, videos and tutorials; these helping books are best for your study as they are designed exclusively for their certifications by keeping in mind the Cisco certifications formats. Your research to find any such material leads increases the chances that you get the perfect idea of what would be the format of your Cisco exams.  You can also seek guidance from your relatives, friends and other industry professionals who have successfully completed their Cisco exams. You can make good use of different discussion boards on different Cisco and other It related forums.  A good thing is to read authenticated book reviews some reputed sites such as eBay and don’t forget to make regular visit of many Cisco websites and blogs created by Cisco certifiers. These websites and blogs offer you good suggestions on which material is best for your CCNA or CCNP exams.
    4 – Follow an Organized Study Plan
    You should not settle down on the perfect discovery of your study material rather you should create a study plan and then strictly follow it. Establish an organized study schedule and stick to that pattern. Stay away from activities that cause diversion like TV, music or buzzing mobile.  Plan your study schedules close to your meal times to avoid any distraction due to hunger. Try to drink water and eat some cookies when you feel hungry during study.
    It’s not important how long you study but what quality study you make; try to study even for a single hour in a peaceful environment rather then studying for several hours in a noisy room. So try to create your study plan according to the best hours of the day that has the minimum or no noise and disruption. Try to study daily for at least two best hours of the day and try to practice that routine. 
    5 – Think of your Future, not about Exams
    Once you make your mind which Cisco certification you have to take then you have to flow a steady study plan before getting yourself registered for the final exam. Study till you are fully assured that you can handle the tough and technical questions of your certification and get it passed. Remember ven if you are lucky enough to pass the exams don’t throw out your priceless material; it can helpful for you in other Cisco certifications. This why investment in Cisco certification is said to be a long term future investment that brings you many future benefits. So always try to keep this helping material for a long time period to get support in next higher level Cisco exams. Try to get as much knowledge as much you can absorb and remember also reserve some time to revive it.
    It’s not simple to just study your paper notes and pass the exams; the successful completion of Cisco certification demands that you are flu familiar with the exam content.  Cisco certification deals in multiple areas of networking and it require your full commitment and dedication as a part of your exam preparation. As said above you have to think about your future not about your exams. This will help you to focus on your study and chive the target of Cisco certification.
    6 - Avoid the Short cut
    This is the most valuable advice that you have to learn by heart when going for a technical certification. An easy road to your certification such as cliff handouts, brain dump exams, boot camps, or other means of short cut won’t provide you the required benefits in terms of knowledge and skills. Some of these useless s exams are strictly prohibited by Cisco and can also disqualify you for any Cisco certification. You can memorize that material but it won’t give you the demanded understanding of the technology that you have to apply in your practical networking career.  Such understanding comes only from the real time and efforts that you put in the preparation of your Cisco exams.
    The above warning particularly applies to networking professionals who want to obtain their higher level Cisco certifications within short time and little study. Most of the networking professionals already have enough knowledge of practical word networking that makes them ideal candidates for passing Cisco certification with the help of just refreshing study material. Boot camps play a significant role for these professionals by training them for any Cisco certification in short time.  But joining of these boot camps is not recommended to new comers with little or no experience in networking field. Boot camps are best for people already having enough networking experience.
    7- Focus on one Exam at a Time!
    May individuals in networking field often find it enticing to go for more than one Cisco certification at a time and number of such individuals is considerable? There are many reasons behind this; more often you get bored with one topic and try to find some other path of your interest.  As Cisco certification puts a lot of load on your nerves itself and that pressure does not allow you to spend adequate time on each exam. Regardless of your motto to take multiple Cisco certifications at a time it’s generally not a good thought. It effects your ability to properly focus on one any area and preparing yourself even for a single exam. So it’s always a wise choice to get you Cisco certification step by step!
    8 – Try to Balance out Life and Study!
    Passing any Cisco certification requires a lot of your time, energy and efforts and if you put too much of all these factors in your exam preparation you may exhaust very soon. As a matter of fact you have to dedicate most of your time for your study but always remember to dedicate some time to your life as well. There are many other things in your life that demand your attentions. Try to stay away from books for a couple of hours daily. It’s important because it will keep you not to get bored with the dry preparation of your exams preparations and to effectively absorb the information related to your exams.
    9 – Make a Study Guide Yourself!
    Once make a thorough study of your material then the best thing you could do is to create a study guide for yourself. A study guide will contain all the basic and important terms, details, descriptions and explanations related toy your exams. The information is often the most technical and difficult contents of your study that you find really hard to memorize. This guide can help you in getting good scores because it’s easy for you to refresh your knowledge in really short time. Create a simple but comprehensive study guide!
    The best use of study guide is made on the day of your Cisco exams. Be at your exam centre at least one hour before and make some good reviews of your study guide. This will help you in refreshing your knowledge about the most difficult terms and retain them for a plenty of time. This study guide help you answer some most technical question in your exams as Cisco software offers you some additional questions on your weak areas of networking. so once you make a good review of study guide them go into your exam room. However don’t spend too much time on the compilation and review of your study guide as it won’t help much in getting good grades. A study guide created at for one Cisco certification also helps in the preparation of other advanced level certification and you would find it really valuable.
    10 – Be Confident While Testing
    Don’t panic and try to calm down when you enter in your exam room; it’s very important that you keep yourself confident while you start answering your exam questions. Have confidence in your study and try to recall the information from your study guide you review before your exam. If you have make good preparation for your test then there is no point that you get confused. Also observe the time allowed for the completion of our test and don’t spend too much time on a single question or on one section. Try to limit your guesses about possible answers and then make a sophisticated answer.
    If there are no negative markings for any wrong answer, never leave it blank. Don’t try to answer all questions but try to make educated answers to get high score!
    Try to keep in mind the maximum number of questions you don’t know the answers and if you fail to pass the test then immediately make a list of those questions with your answers.  Use this list to match against your study guide to see what went wrong. These questions may likely to appear in exams if you retake them and this time you would have the current answers.
    The above steps through seem common but they can definitely increase the probability of passing your CCDA Certification Training. Always try to fallow all or most of these steps and you will pass your exam with higher possible score. This plan will also help you in practical networking career because you have a prepared collection of all the information related to your networking field. It’s not just a dream to pass your Cisco certification the only thing it requires is your commitment and dedication. If you are a technology lover you would be more than willing to invest your time energy and money in the predation of your exams n order to become a successful Cisco certified expert.

  • ASAs failover pair which design is the best

    Guys
    I am designing the firewall solution. I have 2 ASA with 2 Switches. Please see the diagram design1 and design2. Let me know your thoughts. Design 1 uses a stacking cable with 2 switches but in a diagram it is represented as one due to lack of diagram availability. Design 2 uses 2 switches connected seperately. What are advantages of one over the another.?
    Thanks in advance.

    By all means you can use a switch to interconnect both ASAs and it is not achieving anything different from using a cross-over cable for the purpose of deploying a state-full failover.
    I have deployed at least 15 state-full failover ASAs over the course of 14 years of network career just by using a cross-over cable.  If you weight pros and cons using a switch vs the cross-over cable.  I would say cross-over cable have more pros than con and this is my take.
    Nothing against Cisco but sometime Cisco recommendation also comes with sales and marketing strategy.
    "Each interface should connect to a switch port so that the link status is always up"
    So does the cross-over cable and there is an additional point of failure by a switch coming in between ASA and a switch that sending statefull sync data to standby ASA.
    Thanks

  • Mail Client Crashing, Mac Messenger won't connect, 1 USB port won't work!!!

    Any ideas on why my macbook pro has the above probs.....Wen I open mail and click on a message, Mal just crashes and gives me a message to relaunch. MSN won't connect no matter how many times i reinstall it and my son decided to unplug his Ipod from the usb port and now anything i plug into the port isn't recognised.......Pleeeeeeaaassseeeee Help!!!!! TY

    Both cables (Cat5e and Cat6) that I used was tested with my WD live hub and worked at 1 Gbps. The Cat5e is not shielded and I'm fairly confident the Cat 6 cable is unshielded as well. I should mention at this point that I've made my own network patch leads for over 10 years now and my networking career started out using coax cables. I would say that I know what I'm doing and can concluded with 100% certainty that it is not the cables.
    After installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp there is not even an option in the network adapter setting to set the speed any faster than 100 Mbps.
    After going to my local Apple store (30 Km away in London!) the genius I spoke with suggested I book a slot and bring it in for them to test to determine if a new logic board should be ordered. I must be honest, I thought however I spoke with would treat me like an idiot and try and blame anything but the mac but she listened and agreed with my assessment and suggested I bring it it for a test.

  • Network diagnostics is not accepting the WEP password on my wireless router. I know the password is case sensitive and was very careful in entering it but it still gives me the "Unable to join Wi-Fi Network" error message.

    I need help setting up the wireless router for my iMac. I did not know the WEP password when I first turned it on to set things up. Now that I know the WEP password I cant get Network Diagnostics to accept it. I know it is case sensitive and was very careful when I entered the password. What should I do?

    Hi, unfortunately WEP is about as secure as a bar of gold lent to a Gang Den! It can be broken in under 30 seconds these days!
    If the PW is ASCII, try enclosing it in qoute marks, if Hex try preceding it with the & or % sign.
    Also, is the Router set to only allow connect ion to MAC addies of the Interface?

  • Networking Engineer = Good choice for a Career change ?

    Hi Cisco forum . I am a 48yr old CNC Engineer in Stoke ( UK ) ,bored to death with it . I am about to take the COMPTIA A+ exam in 4 weeks , which will lead on to the Cisco Networking course ( if I pass ) .Please can you inform me if there will be a career for me ( out there in the real world ), when I complete the full course . Is Networking & its relevant jobs still a Good Career change ? I have found the networking part of the A+ course the most interesting , so I hope that your replies !!! , are favourable . Thanks for any info ( good or bad ) from Rob In Stoke

    Hi Robert
    As previous poster said, a lot depends on how keen you are to learn networking. I switched from being a Unix admin to a network person because as with you i found the networking parts by far the most interesting. But i had to do a lot of extra work outside normal work hours to get up to an acceptable level.
    You will also need a certain amount of luck/persistence. I would certainly encourage you to take the course but as you are already probably aware experience is just as important as knowledge. Is there any chance that within your current job you might be able to get some exposure to networking while you study.
    if you can't then i would srongly recommend you try and pick up some second hand kit off e-bay to practice with.
    As for good career change. There will always be a demand for good networking people and if you truly enjoy learning about networks you are already well on the way.
    I would also recommend having a look at http://www.jobserve.co.uk which will give you an idea of what type of jobs are available in your area and in the UK as a whole.

  • JRE freeze when loading applet twice, through VSAT network

    Here is a good one for you guys I think ...
    ===========
    What I got:
    ===========
    I have a java web application, runing with Tomcat 5.5.
    I use a Apache HTTP Server 2.0.52 for my statiques ressources (html, etc ...), and the modjk connector 1.2.13 to forward all the dynamic requests from the client to the application server.
    One of my html pages contains a signed java applet.
    Basically, this applet control a scanner and send the scanned image to the web application server.
    This applet:
    - use some swing components
    - use the netscape.javascript.JSObject to call javascript functions
    - use the morena API (which include a native library) in order to control a TWAIN scanner
    - format the scanned image into a JPEG image
    - send the formatted image to the web server, using an HttpURLConnection
    (I use a servlet on server side to get the uploaded image)
    - wait for the server response, that tells my applet if the upload has been successfull or not
    Some additional infos:
    - I use morena 6.2.0.0
    - I use JRE 1.5.0.0.1 to run the applet
    - JRE on client side is configured as follow:
    - no applet caching
    - network parameters: "use the browser parameters"
    ==============
    My problem is:
    ==============
    - Through a LAN network, the applet works perfectly ...
    - Through an internet network (I use a VSAT / IDIRECT network), I can load and run my applet the first time
    but when I try to run my applet for the second time (without closing the browser), it just doesn't start, and the JRE crash
    (i.e. the java console freeze ..., just like if it was waiting for something ...)
    nothing happen after that, and I have to kill my JRE / Browser
    the funny stuff about it is that the applet works fine (even through VSAT network) when I don't upload the scanned image on the server
    load and run ok as many time as I want ...
    => seems that something's going wrong during the uploading process
    ==========================
    What I have already tried:
    ==========================
    1/ getting rid of the Java - Javascript communication (JSObject seems to have heaps of bugs ...)
    => no changes
    2/ be careful to close correctly my HttpURLConnection, with a HttpURLConnection.disconnect()
    => no changes
    3/ put the morena jars directly on the client side (in the lib/ext directory of the JRE):
    the morena API use a native library, and apparently, a native library can not be loaded by 2 different ClassLoader
    just to avoid any "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError"
    as shown on http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=628889
    => no changes
    4/ have a closer look on the http apache server, just to get rid of the error
    "OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed."
    as shown on the bug 21425 in http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21425
    => no changes
    5/ use the upgrade version 1.5.0.6 of the JRE
    => no changes

    A workaround would be: don't use IE9. You want a solution, not a workaround.
    I think at this juncture you are best of creating a new bug report and be sure to reference the old closed one. It doesn't look entirely related though, your symptoms are different from what is described in it (freeze VS a crash). You tried this on several systems right? Also on machines on a different network?

  • Why has my native windows 7 Pro-64 network to a windows 7 Pro-64 VM has slowed to a crawl and freezes, after the new Arris cable modem was installed?

    Please appreciate the details, so the complete situation can be visualized:
    The office network:
    New Mac Mini PC running Win 7Pro 64, (in boot camp), networked to an iMac running the same Win 7 Pro 64, VM, UNDER Fusion 7Pro.
    To review: My treatment rooms former dell PC/running vista business/ running the server and network versions of my Dental practice mgmt & X-ray capture apps, had no probs WLAN to the front desk iMac running the same PC client dental network apps under the same vista business, & Fusion 4. The dell slowly fried its power supply .
    I could not wait to replace it with a Mac mini/ boot camp/ win7 pro 64 bit, as it has to run natively to capture X-rays. The front desk iMac was also upgraded to os10.10.3/ Fusion 7pro/ and its own matching Win7 pro 64bit. The iMac is wired and WLAN connected to a netgear d600 router and a Time Warner Cable  modem. The modem then failed and was replaced by an arris modem. As the Arris was configured out of the box, the network ran much slower slowed, as compared to the original modem. BUT-  The Vonage 2 line phone system stopped working- no incoming or outgoing voices could be heard after it rang. Then twc remote configured it and the phone now works, but the network iMac slowed to a crawl, and now freezes when accessing the Mac Mini PC dental server to edit or enter data. The Mini perfectly accesses the internet via wifi. It accesses the front desk canon  printer by wifi, and can print share they the iMac that is wired to the printer, as well, BUT, the network connection is a spinning pinwheel. The front desk imac easily finds the Mac Mini PC server on the network. It connects easily by entering the servers IPv4 address SHOULD THAT last value change.  But if data isn't entered in slow motion, the window and app freezes, and has to be force quit by Task Manager!
    Cause:
    1. I think TWC switched the cable modem from the default- Non Bridged, to Bridged mode. Could this be the cause?
    2. The network setting in fusion, on the iMac is auto detect, a setting that always worked with vista and with the new Win7 system, before TWC installed the new arris modem. 3. Switching to NAT does not work at all is there a different setting to use?
    3. Does the Netgear Router  have to have a port or pref configured so as not to block the  Server.
    4. might in need an Access Point (I have an extra netgear wdr3400) ).
    5. Do I need an Extender that plugs into the AC LINE?
    I hope this info helps.
    PS:(some addtl info:
    1. File sharing works fine between the minis -Mac and boot camp sides and between the iMacs- Mac and VM sides and between eother side to or from either of the 2 computers! 2. Also  either office computer and all of my my home macs , (& my iPad, & iPhone), can access each other instantly and flawlessly, with splash top streamer and jump desktop remote apps, as controller or as client!  In fact, the front desk iMac can remote control the mini PC AS IF YOU WERE DIRECTLY ENTERING INFO I TO IT!
    SO I think it's either a misconfiguration in the TWC cable modem  &/or some additional pref to config in the router? Thanks so much for your help, (been using VM's since VPC1. & Win95 in a iMac, 1999, DV MODEL! (TWC BLAMES VONAGE FOR NOT OPENING SOME PORTS IN THE TELE MODEM. Vonage blames TWC FOR NOTopeningj ITS PORTS IN THE CABLE MODEM, when they meant the ports on the Netgear.  They have passed the buck for 6 weeks with not even a guess at what to do. VERY FRUSTRATING!  Again, thanks to all!

    Okay Saint Steven, I'll bite:
    I read your description multiple times, very carefully, and I am still confused. May I suggest the following:
    * Follow basic troubleshooting procedures. Isolate each individual problem. Don't try to get everything working at once. Make one change at a time.
    * If I read your description correctly, the Netgear D600 (??) Router is the office LAN (not WLAN). Connect each piece on the LAN separately one-by-one, and test each piece individually. Get your LAN and its devices working first. Forget about the Vonage and the Arris Cable modem.
    * Next, look at your Internet connection. Again, try each piece separately. Depending on how the original cable modem and the new Arris cable modem are configured, you may also have to adjust the configuration of the Netgear D600 Router. 
    * Finally, if you are still having problems, try to organize your thoughts and presentation before you post again. List each element in your network. List how each element is configured. Be systematic.
    "Arris cable modem" does not help much - some are simple bridges, others are routers, etc.
    To answer your questions:
    1. I can't tell from your confusing description, but I don't think so. It seems like the problems are associated with the system changes you made (replacing Dell, etc.) and the problems seem to be isolated to the local LAN.
    2. Auto detect should work, but it is easy to change and test, as long as you change one thing at a time.
    3. No. The Netgear router should allow all communications on the local LAN. Could you have put the "server" in the DMZ?
    Note: I could not find a Netgear "D600" model in a web search. Do you mean N600?
    4. No. I doubt that you need an additional access point. Based on your description, everything appears to connect to the LAN.
    5. No. See 4.
    To repeat myself:
    * Do careful, systematic troubleshooting.
    * Provide carefully written, detailed description of your network and system configurations when you ask for help.
    Good luck!

  • Network works; Internet does not

    I apologize if this is a repost, I looked through everything and couldn't find anything exactly appropiate to me.
    I connect on a university's LAN, no password or anything like that. All the network settings are basically "plug-and-play," if you will. Yesterday I came back to my dorm and found I simply could not get online. With most sudden changes like this, I usually suspect the ethernet cable, so I plugged it in again, checked for problems, replaced it, tried it in my roommate's jack (who's internet is functioning fine) and found that wasn't it.
    So I moved on and checked my network settings. System Preferences said I was connected to the network and the internet, and a IP address was assigned to me. I left it for a while, and revisited it just now, and found no improvement. I disabled every NIC except for the ethernet controller, for good measure. However, I did notice that my shared music was showing up in my friend's iTunes. Then I logged on Bonjour, and found I could communicate with other Bonjour users. So, I am, in fact, connected to the network. Nobody else that I have talked too, even those running similar systems to me, is experiencing any problems.
    So, instead of filing a complaint with ResLife, I decided that the problem must be on my end. But I cannot for the life imagine what it is. I have little experience with networking on Macs, and, so, I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Also, I don't have any types of security software, including internet security. I imagine the entire campus-wide network is behind a firewall, but my computer does not have an individual one.
    Thanks in advance!

    Wow, thanks for all the responses!
    Well, first I tried entering in those DNS servers. I tried them individually and together (and applied settings ), and there was no change.
    The IP address the network's (hopefully) assigned me is: 141.164.95.xxx.
    I've been careful not to turn on any proxies, although I don't completely understand the Mac's proxy set-up window. It's on the "Manual" set-up page, and I've made sure that none of the checkboxes have been checked (I have not altered them during the entire course of this incident, although I have, however, stared at them for great amounts of time, as I have stared at every screen in network preferences trying to figure out what isn't right).
    I'm connecting using DHCP (no required usernames or passwords). One thing I did change was the search domain, AFTER this problem arose. When looking over the university's connection instructions, trying to figure out what may be wrong, I noticed that they said you should enter in the university's domain as the search domain, so I did. No PPoE is set-up, which is correct.
    Another thing I tried was looking at the System Monitor to try to see if anything that's not supposed to be running is running (on the off chance I had downloaded some sort-of harmful program or something that cut off my access to the internet) and the list was fairly short, as I'm trying to keep all my applications closed during this diagnosis for simplicity. Everything seemed to be a system process or a widget.
    I opened up the network monitor. I saw that I was recieving and sending packets. I verified this information by logging on somebody's shared music in iTunes, and rapidly changing songs, and the packet rates went up accordingly.
    The Network Diagnostic tool refused to do anything; as it thinks I'm connected to a network and the internet. Apple should change it so it also pings apple.com or something; but that's just my two cents
    And that's about it. I hope I'm not giving away a confusing amount of information, I'm just trying to walk everyone through what I've already tried (as insignificant to my problem as every one of my attempts probably are).

  • Old name and password won't work when networking to new Win7PC.

    I have a name/password problem when trying to network a new Win 7 PC via a new Netgear 2200 Router to a MacMini.
    It networked 100% OK with the old XP System and old Netgear Router, but now when I click on the PC icon that shows up in Workgroup the old password doesn't work and there is a different popup menu that won't allow the old name and password.
    Interestingly the Mac Mini still networks with the XP laptop using the old pupup box with name and password.
    Netgear say it's not their problem - even though they list 'mac compatible' on their box.
    The PC manufacturer (Acer) say Mac issues are outside of their free technical support.
    Apple support said the Macmini was 'out of warranty'.
    So I'm stuck using a USB stick or email to transfer files from one to the other!
    Please help, I need that network connectivity back asap.

    Option 1
    If you've enabled root logins, log in as root and promote the other user to an admin.
    Option 2
    Recover your entire system from the last Time Machine snapshot taken before the damage was done, if you know when that was. Afterwards you can restore any data that has changed since then from a later snapshot. If you’re an advanced user familiar with the shell, there may be a quicker fix, but I prefer not to get into that.
    Option 3
    Back up all data, then boot in single-user mode (command-S at startup.) When the text stops scrolling, follow the prompts to make the boot volume writable. Then enter the following command very carefully:
    rm -i /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    You should get the following line of output below what you entered:
    remove /var/db/.AppleSetupDone?
    If you do, then enter
    y
    and press return. Then type
    reboot
    Press return again. The system will boot into the Setup Assistant, as if you were setting it up for the first time. Skip the prompt to transfer information. Create a user with the same name as the old admin user. Log in and test. You may need to recreate your other user accounts, if any. Their files won't be deleted.
    Option 4
    If you're not comfortable with any of the above options, get someone more experienced to help you. One way to do that is to make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. It's a free service.
