Networking problems / ethernet miniport issues

IBM thinkpad T23 when i got it given to me it orignaly had windows 2000, now when it came to me i upgraded it to windows xp becuase the registry became corrupt and i had got annoyed, now i kept the 2000 files and installed xp home edition on a parralel instalation, aka installed it on same partition of windows 2000, i have no troubles with the operating system except that i cant use the ethernet, the actualy port is fine accoriding to the device manager however the intel pro/100 VE NETOWRK CONNECTION - PACKET SCHEDULER MINIPORT has an exclamation mark next to it and under properties it states that windows cannot load the drivers for it. also undre network connections there are no options only to create a network. i use a usb connection to my router at the moment however i miss using my ethernet cable for the speed and more freedom (i dont mind having a cable running around) i have downloaded the latest drivers from IBM for the T23 but still have the problem. if anyone knows how to fix this then pelase let me know.
thank you very much,

Is there mush online about this ?
Firewire Network Notwork tools ?
Files/Vol sharing ?
Firewire troubleshooting tools ?
Fascinating: my LAN is router/dns 192.168.0.1 sub 255.255.255.0
computers at x.x.x.33, x.x.x.114, x.x.x.116, 130, 120...
terminal Ping 192.168.0.255 should show me all the IPs on my subnet (incl. Firewire ?) but I only 'see' a cpl of ethernet macs - and there are 2 more Macs and one pC also on TCP/IP but via ethernet first.
A MacIntel iMac is running 10.4.10 + latest Intel update.
A G4 is running 10.4.10
A peecee is running Win XP...
the first two have networking->manual IP->firewire as well as ethernet manual IP->
Shouldn't you be able to ping the TCP/IP at the firewire addressses AND the enet addresses ?
Anyone direct me to answers/resources ?
Thanks to all...

  • Extreme Network Problem - Ethernet versus Airport

    I will try to make this problem/question simple.
    I have a home network with various computers around the house. I have an Ethernet switch in the closet, and various nodes running throughout the house to various rooms.
    Also attached to my switch is a Time Capsule, which is used to create a wireless network and distribute DHCP addresses to other wireless computers in the house.
    I also have an Airport Extreme in my home office that is configured, via Airport Utility, to extend the Time Capsule network, and is on the home network wirelessly. In other words, the Extreme is not hard-wired to the network with an Ethernet cable.
    I have two Ethernet printers connected to the Extreme in my home office (by Ethernet cable), which I wish to use as network printers throughout the house.
    In my home office, my iMac is hard wired to Ethernet, but also has the capability for an airport connection. I prefer, of course, to use the Ethernet, for speed reasons.
    Here is my problem/question: In my home office, I can only print to the two Ethernet printers connected to the Extreme if my iMac is on the home network via its Airport setting (in other words, Airport is above Ethernet in the network connections order). In that case, the printers print fine.
    If, however, I switch the iMac’s network connection to Ethernet (by setting the service order to put Ethernet above Airport), I cannot print to the two Ethernet printers connected to the Extreme - I get caught in the “attempting to connect to host...” mode.
    First question: Why is this? The Ethernet and Airport network settings appear the same, except for the computer’s IP address (i.e., the subnet and router addresses are the same on Ethernet as on Airport). Seems to me that if the printers are on the network, they are on the network.
    Second question: Even if I am on Ethernet (and therefore cannot print to the printers attached to the Extreme), the two printers attached to the Extreme do show up in the Print & Fax window. In other words, I can select them and add them as printers, but I just can’t then print to them.
    What am I missing here? Shouldn’t I be able to print from the iMac when it is on the network via Ethernet? If not, why not?
    I can always, of course (I guess), attach the Extreme to the network via an Ethernet cable from its WAN port to avoid the problem. But that would require running a LONG Ethernet cable, drilling holes in the top of my desk and bottom of a bookcase, etc., and I don’t wish to do that.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks..

    Yes, it’s Verizon FiOS coming into the modem, the modem to the switch. Make and model unknown, but don’t see how that would be an issue here.
    I am trying to ascertain, whether or not, your entire network is on the same subnet. If you are using an Ethernet switch and not an Internet router (with a built-in Ethernet switch) directly connected to the modem, then your basic network will not work ... as the modem is only expecting a single device to be connected to it.
    If you had the TC directly connected to the modem, and then, the Ethernet switch connected to one of the TC's LAN ports to provide additional network nodes throughout the house this would be workable.

  • Weird network problem: Ethernet link going down for few seconds, and up again

    Hi,
    this problem is driving me nuts for weeks now, and I've not had any success with solving it myself, so I hope someone might have a clue...
    A few weeks ago, maybe 2 months, when downloading VOD content from iTunes, the download suddeny stopped after a while, saying that there is a problem with my network connection. I can then resume the download until the next connection drop occurs. iTunes was and still is the only app that makes the problem noticeable (FTP, browsing, Mac App Store etc. are working fine), however, as this also affects iDevice firmware downloads and basically everything I download via iTunes, the problem started to really annoy me. I'm not sure, but the problem might have been introduced after upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion/10.8, which I needed for Logic X.
    So here is what happens:
    I have an iMac12,2, Mid 2011, 27inch, i5 2.7GHz, 16GB RAM, 256GB Apple SSD + 1TB HDD. When using ethernet, the iMac randomly loses its link to the network. My router is a FRITZ!Box 7390 (german make). There are no switches between my iMac and the router. When that happens while running ping, this is how it looks like:
    64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3558 ttl=64 time=0.542 ms
    64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3559 ttl=64 time=0.424 ms

    64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3567 ttl=64 time=0.493 ms
    And this is what the logfile contains at the same time:
    28.10.13 21:36:35,000 kernel[0]: AppleBCM5701Ethernet [en4]: Link down (womp disabled, proxy idle)

    So the ethernet interface loses the link for a few seconds, and gets back up again. It's not long enough to affect average TCP connections, however it is long enough to completely screw iTunes.
    What I've tried:
    - changed all cables (save the one that's going from the ethernet outlet on my room's wall to the server/router room, as it's not replaceable (running within a wall) and I really don't know why it should become faulty offhandedly)
    - cycled ethernet ports at the router to make sure they're not faulty
    - ping'd the router from different computers on all its ethernet ports, all working fine
    - connected my iMac to router via wifi, all working fine
    - bought a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter to make sure onboard ethernet card isn't faulty: problem still there
    - installed 10.9 over 10.8.5, problem still there
    What I didn't check is what happens when ping'ing the router via my cables, but from another computer, as I don't have one. I will try to borrow a MacBook and check that.
    So I figured it must be a local problem, as the network infrastructure itself works nicely and all cables seem to be sound. It is also not a hardware issue, as the problem occurs both with the onboard NIC and the Thunderbolt NIC. What mystifies me is that it doesn't happen when using Wi-Fi (but switching to that is not an option - it's too slow).
    I tried to use both DHCP and fixed IP addresses, different IP ranges, made sure that static IPs don't collide with the router's DHCP range, updated the router firmware, updated the firmware of all Airport Express and Time Capsules I've got in my network (just to be sure), switched all energy saving settings to "Never" (as it has been suggested here from time to time), but nothing helped ... and I don't know what else to check.
    I hope that someone has an idea of what's happening here!
    Thanks in advance!

    It looks like hooking an ethernet switch between my iMac and the router did the trick. I didn't get any timeouts after I did that. It must have been a really weird incompatibility between my iMac and the router. Still have to see if iTunes gets through without losing the connection, I hope I'll be able to check that tomorrow night. I'll report back.
    So maybe try just hooking another ethernet switch between your mac and the other side. It might actually help!

  • Network problems are preventing connection to Exchange when changing from Ethernet to Wifi

    I have a user that connects to Exchange fine while their computer is docked and connected to the LAN by Ethernet, but once they undock they receive the error "Cannot open item. Network problems are preventing connection to Exchange server." They
    are connected to the internal company Wi-Fi and nothing changes about their computer's status other than changing from being on the wired network to wireless.

  • Ethernet Network Problem

    Hi guys,
    I usually post my questions under the iMac and MacBook Pro section but this time I'm posting for a friend who has a network problem, hence he could not post it himself so I'm posting it for him until the problem is solved.
    He has a PowerMac G5 and a PowerBook 17" both hooked on the same network. I will now quote the problem as he wrote it.
    I kindly ask for your help to find a solution as the problem occured suddenly for no apparent reason on both computers.
    a.) I have an ethernet-connection (LAN) through AUC.
    b.) When I open the web-browser (or email-client), i.e., the Internet,
    the website doesn't open and I get a message from "SpeedTouch"
    saying that my "DSL-connection is down".
    c.) In "System Preferences" and the the "Network" Symbol,
    the settings are on "Built-in Ethernet" and "Automatic".
    Previously the Mac used to search automatically for the necessary info
    and then it would work.
    d.) Now, it doesn't. I have to change "Using DHCP" to "Using DHCP with
    Manual Address",
    press "Apply", and then change back to "Using DHC", and press 'Apply"
    again.
    e.) Then the Network-Connection works, but only as long as the
    computer is on.
    f.) When I switch the computer off, and then start it again, I'm back to
    zero. I have the problem again and have to go the same moves to fix
    it.
    By the way: the same problem occurs with my wife's Mac. It didn't
    occur there before. Both computer are hooked up to an Ethernet-
    switch.
    Ok, so there it goes. I hope anyone has any clue. His OS is 10.4.6 on both computers.
    Thank you for your help in advance...

    iMac G5 17" 1.9Ghz, 512 RAM, 160GB HD   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   MacBook Pro 15" 2.16GHz, 1GB RAM, 100GB HD

    My guess is that the switch was added to allow a single network interface to connect to multiple computers.
    Make sure the network interface (sounds like DSL) or the router is set to enable NAT (Network Address Translation). May also be called "distribute IP addresses" or some such clever alternate name.
    If the router is not set to support NAT it may see the MAC address of the switch and provide an IP address to it only. Or it provides one only to the first device to ask for one. By manually enabling an address, you are working around it.

  • Time Machine and Time Capsule - Failing with Network Problem

    My problems with TM/TC have been ongoing for a couple of months now and I am going round in circles - need help.
    This is the second post I have made, the first got lost in people suggesting the obvious - so I will try to be a little more specific if I can.
    I will detail the current state first - i.e. where I am now - after I will list what I have done so far to get to this point.
    Currently, my iMac (intel) is directly connected by Ethernet 1GB to the Time Capsule. The TC is then connected to a Netgear router which in turn is connected to Internet.
    I have no network problems at all - internet connection is fine. the Netgear Router has the latest firmware version and is working fine. The porblems i have are nothing to do with this.
    The time Capsule is in Bridge mode and getting a reserved dhcp IP address from the Netgear router.
    The Time Capsule has been fully reset - i.e. power cable out, hold the reset button, plug in power cable (spark, spark), hold reset button, fast blink for 20 seconds or so, light goes out, release button.
    I have re-applied the latest Time Capsule firmware.
    I have renamed the disk on the Time Capsule.
    I have renamed my iMac and deleted all the time capsule entries from Keychain.
    I have re-installed Mac OSX and re-updated to the latest 10.5.6 release.
    At the moment I have kicked off a backup with a lot of large files - like music folder, video folder etc excluded. I also have parallels and have excluded the disk image. I have 1 other 50GB disk image which is also excluded.
    I am expecting the first initial backup will complete successfully.
    I will then remove music and video from exclusions and allow them to backup. I am expecting this will complete no problem. (I do this because the upcoming problem will happen if I move away from the machine - and I dont want to sit there for 2 days).
    So up to this point TM and TC have performed flawlessly. The issue that follows started happening before the 10.5.6 update after backing up with no issues for months. At this point I will be able to use TM to browse the backup and restore files. I will be able to mount the sparse bundle and browse files. Spotlight reports no issues and indexes quickly.
    If I leave my machine after a successful backup and the hourly update kicks in it will fail with 'A Network problem' basically saying the backup has filed because of a network problem, but is not any more specific, logs show far too much to put the whole thing here, but the following is an excerpt

    It goes on and on and is repeated every hour. For each one I get an error message on screen saying backup failed due to a network error. However I have tried a manual download over the same period set at an extremely slow rate so that it was downloading during this time and it showed no errors. I.e. the network connection from imac, through TC to netgear and out to internet - and monitored this while time machine showed these errors (i.e. at the same time) and this showed no connection problems at all and completed succesfully.
    I know TM uses an internal address to do backups, but uses the same cable and network card to get the job done. I am simply removing the cable as a source of issue although I have also replaced this making no difference.
    Applecare are involved and have so far been sent 2 sets of logs and so far have not been able to find the cause. New TC is on its way to try that, although they think it is something on the imac that is causing this.
    Sleep mode is turned off although screen sleep is on. The tick is not in the box for putting hard drives to sleep whenever possible.
    Now, after this has happened, and back at the machine. I restart both imac and TC. Try running a backup, spotlight starts to re-index - i.e. will mount the backup volume and start the index process, gets to about 90% then fails - again excerpts from log

    Am I the only one having these problems? any help from anybody please...

    Got the same problem with a 3 months old TC.
    The replacement TC, does it work now flawless?

  • Bluetooth Network and Internet sharing issue

    I'm trying to set up a network through Bluetooth between two computers having the latest Toshiba Stack installed, and to share the Internet connection with the second computer.
    On the firs computer I've set the Internet Connection Sharing, and because of this it automatically sets the TCP/IP adresses for the Bluetooth Personal Area network (192.168.0.1).
    On the 2nd computer, i've set everything to obtain it automatically. Firewalls (Kaspersky) disabled.
    When I connect the 2 Bluetooth devices, everything looks fine, the 2nd automatically obtains the IP adress, I can ping both computers, and the Internet also works on the 2nd computer, for a few seconds! After that, it appears like the 2nd computer is disconnected from the network... what could be the problem?
    In the event viewer under the System tab, I've found Informations like these:
    2nd comp:
    The system detected that network adapter \DEVICE\TCPIP_{E44D18EB-91F5-4... was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.
    The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{E44D18EB-... because a master browser was stopped.
    and at 1st comp also appeares this:
    The system detected that network adapter Bluetooth...Area Network - Packet Scheduler Miniport was disconnected from the network, and the adapter's network configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers.

  • Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem

    Firstly apologies for the long post, I've been bottling these problems up and could now use some expert advice.
    I have a MacPro (10.6.3) with four internal drives (320GB system/apps. + 3x 750GB data, images etc) and a MacBook Pro (10.6.6) with a 320GB internal. With so much accumulated data (Mac user since SE FDHD) I wanted a reliable means to backup all my projects, books, papers, research, images etc. I had several bad experiences using Iomega drives (Ultramax and Storcentre) which were not very Mac compatible and shifted over to a 10TB LaCie 5Big Network 2 which is promoted as Time Machine compatible. Set up Time Machine (with a few hiccups) in Sept 2010 and it ran perfectly, backing up both main computers until March 2011. I have now experienced a string of problems backing up the MacPro, some of which have been resolved speaking to people, some by checking forums and some by using my own noddle to figure it out. The latest error message I am getting is "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup due to a network problem. Make sure your computer and the backup disc are on the same network, and that the backup disc is turned on. Then try again to back up."
    The circumstances of this are as follows: TM seems to be trying to completely back up everything already backed up from previous months so I am using the "exclude" option to do this in manageable chunks (5.54TB of 7.99TB is available so there is a lot of stuff on there, hence my reticence to erase and start again). I started a backup last night which said it was 242GB and when I came back hours later (I estimate 30GB and hour or 500MB a minute) it has failed with the error message above. I asked it to back up again and it said it now had 191GB to backup, at the next failure it was 142GB, dropping by approx 50GB a time (if there a maximum it can manage in one go?), the next time it was starting again with 242GB.
    I checked the disc it was backing up to, discovered it was now selecting Public-1, re-selected Public which houses the macpro.sparsebundle, dropped the backup size (Options) to 73GB and set it off again and it is backing up as I write. I am hoping it will complete and permit another chunk to be backup but the fact it looses network connection (seemingly) or has a maximum backup in one go, is annoying because it means you cannot leave it overnight and trust it to do the backups.
    The other problem seems to be a shut down by LaCie 5Big because several times (and once this morning) I have had this message "The file server "LaCie 5Big" has closed down, followed by a complete Lacie shut down and auto-reboot with all lights and whistles. Lacie think this could be a power supply problem and say they are sending me another power brick. They also say they do not support Time Machine (they should check their own literature) and suggest I use LaCie 5Big for 'drag and drop' backup. If I wanted to do that I could pick up a cheap and nasty HD from PCWorld, not this high end 10TB drive which cost over £1,000 !
    For a while y'day I could not even find the Lacie on the network but after changing the ethernet cable from Lacie to router (Linksys) it miraculously re-appeared so that problem may have been the original Lacie blue ethernet cable had developed a fault. Checking cables is an oft-overlooked option.
    A catalogue of errors, some solved, others still all pervading, so any words from the wise would be gratefully accepted.

    I verified the macpro.sparsebundle and Time Machine backups in Disk Utility and it said both appeared to be Okay in green type. So that did not solve the issue. I did a Disk Utility repair a day or so again (despite Verify saying everything was fine) and said there was nothing to repair. I suspect two problems, the power brick may be faulty producing intermittent power and maybe causing the drive to close down (hopefully Lacie will send me a replacement to try) and second, I am thinking the network connection is getting dropped causing crashed backups without the Lacie shutdown/reboot sequence. The 73GB back up failed, I started it again at 54GB and it failed again, just started it again at 45GB - this is no way to progress!
    Perhaps the relatively new (last year) Linksys router is the problem, I find my MBP says AirPort is active but it fails to appear in Go>Server unless I switch it off and on again and perhaps a similar problem drops the connnection to the Lacie.

  • [Solved] Network problems installing Arch

    Hello everyone. I'm trying to install archlinux-2013-03-01 and I can't get to even start the installing process due to network problems.
    I'm using a wired connection with DHCP but when I ping google or something it gives me the 'bad address' error (not the 'unknown host' error). I typed 'dmesg | grep r8169' (r88169 is the module for my Gigabit Ethernet driver) and the output says it's loaded, so it's not a kernel module problem.
    If I type 'ip link' it says my interface is called eth0. So then I type 'ip link set eth0 up' and it says is up but again, I can't ping anything.
    If I nslookup something it gives me my home address.
    I even tryed to load the .iso with the option ipv6.disable=1 and still nothing.
    Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

    Thank you both for your responses.
    I thought this was weird too, but I can't see any interface with the new network device naming scheme. According to the wiki I must have an interface called something like epn2so but if I type 'ip link' I only see:
    1: lo: <LOOPBACK> [some more info]
    2: eth0: <BROADCAST, MULSTICAST, UP, LOWER_UP> [some more info]
    link/ethernet [my mac address] brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    I think eth0 is the right name because if I type 'ip link set eth0 up' it gives me no errors and I can see  ...UP, LOWER_UP> when I type 'ip link'.
    @WonderWoofy: I don't have any Ip address when I type 'ip addr'. I don't know what could it be. This is the first time I have issues "configuring" internet with DHCP and believe me, I've tried hundreds of different distros and configurations.
    PS: I wrote [some more info] because it's kind of a pain in the ass copy exactly all the output due to I can't ctrl + c anything in the installing procees. Should I copy the output of any particular command so you guys can see it? Thank you.

  • Cannot connect devices using Extend Network via Ethernet

    Hi
    I have been going nuts with this issue, and cannot seem to find any solutions. PLEASE HELP!
    I have an Airport Extreme (pretty new and all up to date) connected to my modem. Everything works perfectly. The wi-fi is great, all devices can connect without any issues so nothing is wrong here. The Airport extreme is dishing out the IP addresses etc. The Airport extreme is in the lounge.
    I purchased a new airport express yesterday. I put it in my study, far away from the lounge. I connected the airport extreme to the airport express using an ethernet cable. I plugged it in, and set it up to extend the wireless network via ethernet. I.e. it is set up in bridged mode and set up to 'create a wireless network' with identical name password etc. Everything is good. It reboots and the light is green. in the Airport utility everything shows up correctly.
    Here is the problem., The second that any device (lets say iphone) moves from the lounge to the study, and tries to 'jump' to the stronger network provided by the express, it kills the ENTIRE network. The following happens:
    1. The iphone loses wi-fi signal immediately. If I go into wi-fi settings, it sees my netwrok with FULL strength, but just remains in the 'spinning ball' state trying to connect. Seems to me that the express is unable to hand out an IP address or something.
    2. If i open the airport utility on my Imac (in the study), the airport extreme has a yellow warning light and cannot be found via ethernet OR wi-fi. (The Imac is also Hard Wired from the Airport extreme in the lounge).
    THe whole system requires a re-boot in order to work again.
    If I re-boot the system, and leave a device near the airport express, it immediately receives signal, gets an IP address, and has an internet connection. Going back to the lounge causes no issues, it doesnt drop signal and still connects to the internet via the extreme. But as soon as I walk back into the study again - BOOM, everything drops.
    I only purchased the new express because i was having EXACTLY the same issue with an older Airport extreme. No matter what I do, it just wont work via ethernet. I have tried all manner of settings. The ONLY setting that seems to work is to extend the wi-fi network. However, the rooms are too far apart, and this will require a third station in the middle, which i want to avoid (by the time the wifi network is extended across 3 decvices it is too slow).

    Can I use airport express to make my pc pick up the wifi by plugging the pc into the ethernet socket?
    Yes. But, it is the AirPort Express that would "pick up the wifi". Then, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the PC.
    Configure the AirPort Express to "Join a wireless network" and click the option to "Enable Ethernet clients" during the setup to activate the Ethernet port on the device.
    I would also plug a printer (currently connected to the pc) into the usb, so it can become a shared printer.
    There is a good chance that your printer will work connected this way, but you won't really know until you try.

  • Adding AE to network via Ethernet...trying to fix airtunes drop outs....

    I have a older Time Capsule (not simultaneous dual band) in my home office, and two older AE's (not N) that I use to wirelessly extend my network. Overall it works OK, though maybe not as speedy as it could be.
    Lately, my airtunes streaming has been a bit erratic. Sometimes it works fine, other times it has a lot of drop outs. I use airtunes on both my AE's. On my "living room" AE, I use a digital connection to a high end DAC/preamp. On my "garage" AE I use an analog connection to a boombox. Both these setups experience intermittent dropouts.
    I could use ethernet to connect my living room AE to my LAN, since I have a wired connection at that location. I can not do that on my garage AE.
    First question is would a wired connection be more stable for airtunes? Since this problem may be associated with the Snow Leopard upgrade....I wonder if I'm wasting my time on the specifics of the network.
    Second question: when I tried to set up the AE for a wired connection, It doesn't give me the "extend the network via ethernet" option in Airport utility. It only gives me the "extend network wirelessly" option. I moved the AE to the office and connected it directly to the time capsule (to make sure the wired network wasn't the issue) and I still am not given the option to do that.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks
    Fabian

    Inkjet....
    Thanks for that tidbit. I'll try to remove my wireless AE from the loop and see if the wired AE works any better.
    I'm getting the feeling though that this is an iTunes/OS issue, not a network issue. Reading the other threads on this topic seem all involve the upgrade to SL and/or iTunes 9.
    As an aside, since my original post on this, I've replaced both the older AE's with the new n versions. I still use the older TC.
    Also, I've used AirRadar to examine the "interference" issue. It shows very low levels of interference (though I'm not sure what is acceptable). No other local networks show up which are on the channel I'm using. Again, I just don't think its the network.
    Finally, I don't think I'll go to the powerline transmission route. If wired were the answer, I'll find a way to get ethernet to the second AE. However, it needs to be the answer before going through the exercise.

  • Xserve en0 network problem

    I have an unusual network problem which I need to sort.
    I have Intel and G5 Xserves which don't appear to like each other on the network switch they are both connected to. This is an HP ProCurve 1810G
    If I reboot the Intel Xserve when the G5 box is running the WAN ethernet port (en0) on the former will not work. The LAN en1 port continues to work fine. The Xserve G5 needs to be removed from the switch or shutdown before the Intel Xserve en0 port will work again. If I connect the Xserve G5 to a simple Netgear 1Gbit router which in turn is connected to the 1810G all is fine and dandy but this is not a viable longterm solution. There is also a G5, two G4 towers & a Cisco firewall appliance connected to the 1810G but none of these appear to be causing a problem.
    The Intel Xserve provides NAT/VPN services for the LAN and the Xserve G5 is the mail server so they both must play together nicely on the 1810G switch! The 1810G is connected to an ADVA Etherjack demarcation device which is the portal to a fibre optic leased line.
    Just to confirm there are no IP/DNS clashes with the 2 Xserves and the Intel Xserve still has the problem with LOM disabled.
    Very strange problem I know so any suggestions on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

    This is normal.
    Since you're running a hardware RAID card, the system can't actually see the physical drives at all.
    All it sees is the RAID volumes presented by the RAID card - it doesn't know whether there's one, two or ten drives behind that, or whether they're mirrored, striped, parity, etc., etc.
    Therefore it cannot collect the SMART data (the basis of the pre-failure warnings) and it doesn't know if the physical drives are OK or not (the hardware RAID card masks all that data from the OS).
    As a result you need to use the megaraid utility to manage the physical drives' status.

  • WiFi and other networking problems (MacBook Air)

    Like many others on these forums, I’m having terrible problems with network connections on my MacBook Air 11-inch (Mid 2011, running Lion 10.7.3).
    WiFi connections are very unreliable, and often impossible to establish.
    On my home network I can ‘force’ the MBAir to connect by manually configuring TCP/IP, and DNS settings. I shouldn’t have to do this.
    I do not have (and have never had) problems establishing WiFi connections on all the other Macs that are used on our home network (iMac, and MacBook running SnowLeopard, and an old PowerMac that runs Tiger; I also occasionally use my University MacBookPro (10.6.7) without any problems. So this issue is clearly not network related.
    If I take the MBAir out on the road (which is why I bought it) then I invariably struggle and usually fail to establish a WiFi connection, even in my University, where the WiFi network functions with my MacBookPro.
    My problems with the MBAir are not however confined to WiFi.
    Networking with an Ethernet-USB link is equally unreliable. Occasionally the MBAir appears on network but then fails to connect to any servers. Even when it does appear to connect the network, I’m unable to connect/share the MBAir from any other of my Macs. Ethernet cable and network communications are all trouble-free with my University iMac and MacBookPro.
    I’m really disappointed with my MacBook Air what’s going on Apple?!
    I’ve tried deleting the usual system preference files (com.apple.airport.- , -.network, etc.) but not much has changed. Now at a loss at what to try next .... advice welcomed.

    Whatever was causing my endless problems has been resolved. I was very close to returning my new MacBookAir, as nothing would work with respect to networking; WiFi or Ethernet-USB.
    As a last resort I reinstalled Lion using the cmd-R - and yipee all networking problems have disappeared.
    The MBAir now works just fine, I can chop and change WiFi connections when roaming without problems, and my ethernet-USB connection allows me to interact with my University network.
    My solution - reinstall Lion!

  • Snow Leopard Network Problems

    Hi all.
    I'm setting up my second Snow Leopard Server machine and I'm having the most frustrating networking problems.
    I'm setting up a server with two NICs, and for some bizarre reason connection will NOT work. Trying to ping within the subnet of the inoperative connection produces "no route to host" errors. Switch the IP configurations between the two NICs, and the problem follows the primary configuration. The same network settings work correctly on a different machine, so the problem is definitely software.
    I can't help wondering if this is related to source-based routing in 10.6. But I've tried flushing the routing table to no avail.
    This exact same issue happened with the other Snow Leopard server I set up. After a few days of idling, the problems magically resolved themselves. Unfortunately, I don't have time for that to happen with this server.
    Any suggestions?

    The forums are littered with dual-controller subnet routing discussions; it's a very common issue.
    Easiest fix: don't use a Mac as an expensive (and slow) IP router (or NAT box). Use an external firewall.
    If you really want to wade into IP routing (and do you actually have enough network traffic to warrant lighting up two gigabit Ethernet connections right now?) then poke around for the existing discussions of setting up the ordering of the controllers and establishing subnet routing live and after each reboot.
    I'm probably going to end up writing an article and posting it, as this arises way too often, and folks are understandably having issues with locating the problem given that most (understandably) don't know they need to look for subnets and static routes and such.
    Existing threads including [this|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10688941] and [this|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5697532] are reasonable starting points for your dual-NIC quest.
    One other related gremlin that crops up here is the subnet addressing assignments; you'll usually want to have the (co-resident) NICs using addresses in separate subnets or routing can get squirrelly.
    Or plug in the external firewall (which has other advantages) and use it as the router and firewall and NAT box for your LAN.

  • Wireless networking problems using iMac, Macbook, airport extreme & express

    Here's my setup:
    iMac in study has 100+ gigs of music on an attached hard drive
    iMac running 10.5.8
    Airport extreme in study
    Macbook in living room that I use Itunes to connect to hard drive in study
    Macbook running
    iTunes on Macbook has it's Media Folder as the one that's on the hard drive in the study.
    Airport express in living room, with direct connection to stereo
    To play music on the stereo, I prefer to use the Macbook to connect to the iMac/hard drive in the study, as I don't want to keep walking into the study to change music.
    Once I get a connection it's usually ok, but the problem is in getting a stable connection in the first place. Sometimes I have to go through a rigmarole where I turn off all the computers and then turn on iMac, hard drive, Macbook, before connecting to the iMac wirelessly before playing music. Sometimes I might need to do that twice before it works.
    If I don't, I get the message in iTunes on the Macbook: Connection failed - The server "macintosh-2" may not esist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and try again.
    Sometimes I'll have access to most songs, but a certain few will get the message above.
    Is my setup the thing that's causing this 'slippery' network connection?
    I'm wondering whether my hard drive isn't fast enough - it's a no-name brand which I got cheaply about 5 years ago. Maybe it's just not up to it? Or is it the fact one puter's on Tiger, one's on Leopard?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    have you checked for _*wireless interference*_ ?
    download iStumbler (may not work on 10.6) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those.
    any improvement ?
    I'm wondering whether my hard drive isn't fast enough - it's a no-name brand which I got cheaply about 5 years ago. Maybe it's just not up to it?
    possible but i doubt it. in my iTunes test environment, i have a cheap USB drive connected to my TC. iTunes fetches tunes from it via the network, then streams the music back via the network. i have no issues streaming even HD movies in the 10 gig range.
    i assume the extreme is your main router ? what you can try is hardwire as much as possible, i.e. run ethernet cables from the extreme to all Macs. if physical cables is no option (due to location), you might consider *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.
    here's an interesting read on the subject.
    Or is it the fact one puter's on Tiger, one's on Leopard?
    as long as all Macs are current on the software side, it shouldn't matter.
