New Installation Help Needed - Connection Timeout

New to the home and Verizon service from a combination modem/router. In Airport Utility, chose to connect to a wireless network and add AE in order to extend my current network (the issue is distance to an important computer). The utility seems to run okay and there is a green light at the end of the routine. I have tried every combination available and either continue to get the Connection Timeout or cannot see the network at all.
Any suggestions?
I tried adding in my old Linksys router and while the network name appears an error message is always given that the user is not connected to the internet.

josephchatham, Welcome to the discussion area!
To extend the wireless network created by the Verizon base station you will need to connect the AirPort Express (AX) via Ethernet. The AX can not wirelessly extend the network created by that base station.

Help Needed - Connecting a new Router

Hi,
I have just bought an asus rt-ac68u router to replace my old BT home hub 3. I have connected it to the existing BT openreach modem
I have configured the new router. The WAN settings are PPoE. The router is showing as connected to the Internet.
However the problem is my computer shows the network is not connecting to the Internet despite the router saying it is connected. When I run a windows network diagnostics test it says there may be a problem with your Domain Name Server configuration
Has anybody got any ideas what I have done wrong. I've left the dns field to set themselves automatically.
Appreciate any help you can give. I don't know much about networks, the instructions made it look like it would be pretty much plug and play
Thanks

I don't have this router but going by the instructions here
http://www.asus.com/uk/Networking/RTAC68U/HelpDesk_Manual/
it should be fairly straight forward to set up. All the setting should be populated automatically when you connect with the exception of the setting I gave you.
If you have changed or put in any settings other than the PPPoE and account name etc I gave you I would carry out a factory reset of the router and start again following the instructions to the letter.
Make sure you are connecting by Ethernet before trying to connect by wireless.

VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

Hi All,
I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
Error message as attach.
I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
My Question:
Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
How to get the reporting server to working?
What port is needed to it all working??
VCM server Ms Win2012.
SQL version 2012.
Many thanks to all who reply.

Hi Simonhoo79,
For SSRS, first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/75910bcb-a879-4eb7-9757-acc45201fa3a/can-not-connect-to-reportserver-http-404-file-not-found?forum=sqlexpress
For SQL server ODBC connection,
Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
3. Select SQL server and click finish
4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2 and it doesn't support windows server 2012 but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.

Trouble with new G570 - help needed

Dear All,
I am a new, rather unhappy, customer of Lenovo UK as of this week, via a dealer called www.saveonlaptops.co.uk .
I'm terribly disappointed to have had such a bad experience...
I purchased a Lenovo G570 (product code M5143UK) from the above vendor on their website using my credit card on 17th July 2011...
I eagerly awaited delivery on 19th July 2011.
Unfortunately, upon setting up the laptop and switching it on, it became quite clear that there are hardware issues with the laptop.
It took me 3 hours to get the laptop working, after it repeatedly attempted to install/configure software and OS updates and repeatedly failed midway through often shutting down of its own accord too early to allow update to complete.
3 hours after, I had got it working, but immediately noticed how SLOW the laptop is...The 3 year old Dell laptop I sold last week ran much much faster than this Lenovo ever has.
The boot time averages over 2 minutes just to get to login screen, and applications are unacceptably slow loading/running.
I had spoken with Lenovo UK support whom suggested that it should run no slower with a retail version of Windows 7 64-bit OS on it, which at the consent of them, I duly installed. Unfortunately, a further 4 hours of waiting for repeatedly failing OS updates to install took place, before this version of Windows 7 (clean install) ran even worse than the original OS image.
Lenovo UK support have said that I need to return the laptop to the vendor to be assessed, but the vendor is currently refusing to accept any come back as such, and saying that due to the clean install carried out (at the consent of your support guys remember) that they will not return and swap for a brand new like-for-like laptop.
I have been assured previously by Lenovo that clearing a partition off of the HDD and applying a fresh install will not invalidate warranty...!!!!!!!!!
I have never received such poor service from a hardware vendor or a how manufacturer, especially seeing as I had fully researched the brand/model I was to purchase for weeks prior to final purchase.
I am writing to your goodself in the hope that you can arrange for a brand new laptop of the same spec to be sent to me, and arrange for the courier to collect the faulty one at the same time to stop me being without a laptop.
The vendor has been rude, unhelpful, dishonoring towards me and Lenovo and I wish I had not approached them to purchase this laptop. The price though was £80 odd cheaper than with Lenovo direct.
All I want is a non faulty laptop to last me 5 years before i change for a new Lenovo (if the service is good!) model.
You will find a copy odf my order attached.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

welcome to the forum,
It's regrettable to read about your experiences to date, obviously not an invigourating experience, reads very much like a pillar to post scenario
Firstly; a clean windows install does not invalidate the warranty regardless of what the reseller says. The warranty covers the hardware, unless explicity stated and purchased there is no warranty on software whatsoever.
IMHO your first point of contact should have been the retailer to ask if they were in a position to offer a possible solution. Should they then have at some point instructed you to contact Lenovo support you would be in a stronger position to argue that they should resolve the issue. Whatever, you did the right thing by contacting support. Did support issue you with a call number which you noted down and could share? Against the call number there will be notes logged by the service rep. and you could ask the retailer to call and validate the instructions you were given by support.
As this is a peer to peer forum, provided by Lenovo in order that members may seek assistance from others and share their experiences, there is a Lenovo presence which deals with some of the broader issues, it's not always possible for them to assist on all individual issues. Members will certainly be glad to and be able to assist you diagnose any possible hardware fault with the system which would then hopefully provide you with the facts you need to hopefully reach a speedy resolution.
You're probably pretty miffed at the moment and don't want to read the following, but it's meant well.
As a first step I'd like to suggest downloading the mediacreator from this site and use the media you create to test the system's hard drive, please let us know the results.
Best Regards

New User Help Needed Formatting External HD in MS-DOS for PC file migration

I have files on my PC and planned on putting them on a new external HD to transfer to the iMac.
I have a new MiniStack V3 external HD with USB and Firewire connections. It comes formatted for the Mac.
I want to format the HD on the iMac to MS-DOS so I can connect it to my PC; pull off my files; and reconnect to the Mac; pull over the files; and then reformat the external HD for the Mac.
Going into the disk utility I gathered the Erase tab is how you reformat. Only Mac OS choices are available for the format type. *How do you format the disc for Mac OS on the Mac???*

minimejdh,
First, select the drive (not the named volume that will appear indented underneath), then switch to the Partition pane. Click the "Options..." button and choose the "GUID Partition Scheme," then partition the drive with a single partition.
Now you can select the named volume, switch to the "Erase" pane, and choose MS-DOS.
That said, you might want to consider using your PC to format the drive using the NTFS format. FAT-32 (the MS-DOS format) has a 4 GB file size limitation, and it is possible that some of the files you wish to transfer exceed this limit (I'm sure you would know better than we). Your iMac will have no trouble accessing the drive and NTFS format, but it will be as read-only. Since you will be formatting it again with the Mac, using HFS+ (Mac OS Extended), you won't need write access to the drive.

Help needed connecting PC to AirportExpress

I have a desktop connected wirelessly to my router which I was hoping to tap into to pipe music into my living room to play off of some speakers via airport express. However...
I plugged in the AirPort Express, and it just keeps blinking yellow. I ran the install and opened up the Setup Assistant and it tells me that "An error occured trying to use the wireless networking system". I'm am using that very same wireless system to write and submit this post...so I know it works. But how can I get the two to communicate the way they need to?
I should also mention that no base stations show up in either the Setup Assistant or the Admin Utility.

Welcome to the discussions
Check a couple of things.

You might also look at Airport for Windows that should help as well.

Help needed connecting 2 routers

Hello, I've been scratching around looking for a solution to my problem for a couple of weeks now.
I have 2 routers (connected as per the pic below) - I have configured it so that I can collect access logs (this is one of the few routers I've found than can log internet URLs) for anyone who connects via wifi on the BEF router, however I can only get an internet connection if I use a LAN port (as per the red line). I've read that in order to log activity I need to connect via the internet port (yellow dotted line), but I can't get it to work and it's frustrating the heck out of me now
Does anyone have any solutions for this?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your help, re-instating the DHCP did the trick (after a power cycle).
Just in case anyone else needs to do this, here is my final config;
WAG160N is set to 192.168.1.1 with DHCP enabled.
BEFW11S4 is set to 192.168.2.1 with DHCP enabled and auto select IP address.
Thanks for all the suggestions everyone - just need a Wireless N ADSL router (to replace the two I've got hooked up) that can log all internet traffic now

Problems with my new E5, help needed

I just got me a new E5 about a week ago. Despite reading a lot on this forum, I still have two major issues setting up this device; so I need some help. Problem number one is that I cannot set up my email. I have "aol" email that falls under "other" in the email set up section. Some of the screens listed in Pool of Knowledge subsection (like choosing POP3 or IMAP) does not even come up in my e5 during email setup screens. What to do to set up aol email account.
Problem number 2 is that I cannot transfer my contacts and other data from old device (Nokia X2-01) to the new e5. I paired them easily using Bluetooth but when it get to the point of transferring the data, I hear a "click" sound in the e5 and "Bluetooth disconnected.... " error message comes on. I have tried upteenth times but I get the same result. When I tried to transfer contacts one by one, using Bluetooth business card option it works; but I have over 800 contacts and I would like to use the switch route. What to do to solve this problem?. I hope I do not have a faulty device.
With God, all things are possible

I can't help you with the contacts problem, but have you made any progress with email? Just because you pick the Other category, doesn't mean you need to enter every server detail. I use Earthlink email, but simply typing my email address causes the wizard to fill in every other detail besides my password. (Curiously, it always uses the wrong SMTP server.) But once setup finishes, I can change any of the settings. I hope that helps. (And BTW, the above may not apply if you opt for using Nokia's push service.)

Xspf player installation- help needed DESPERATELY

I've been trying for over 2 months to install the xspf player on my iWeb site.
This is the URL:
http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/Audio_4.html
which shows what I haven't managed !
I just checked on a Windows PC and the page is blank- not even a blue rectangle. In iWeb, it looks exactly the same as this page viewed on a mac; ie. the player hasn't properly established itself either.
This is the HTML code I used:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”400” height=”170” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#FFFFFF”
data=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?
playlisturl=http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/playlist.xspf&autoplay=1&volumelevel=50&timedisplay=1” />
<param name=”movie”
value=”http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/xspf_player.swf?
playlisturl=http://www.innerspheresmusic.com/webmusic/playlist.xspf&autoplay=1&volumelevel=50&timedisplay=1” />
<param name=”bgcolor” value=”#FFFFFF” />
</object>
PLEASE can someone help, or I'll need a brain transplant soon !
Thanks,
SeaDream.

Can't really help, but, if it is any consolation, it works very well on my machine (using Firefox)
hmm...
(goes to test)
Okay, good news, works in Safari, works in Opera. Songs load very quickly too!
Doesn't work in... Internet Explorer. Go figure...
BTW very nice site, matches the music well (my first impression). And both somehow match your nickname.
(...and since everyone's a critic ) Your music sounds very clean and quite delicate. I'm going to listen more intently to it later on. Souunds and looks like a nice job, Kay!

Installation help needed

I'm struggling to install the new Flash Player 10 on my OLPC
XO laptop. I have downloaded the program OK but I'm really lost
when it comes to installing it. Rigt now I cannot get video or
sound on my laptop from YouTube or web sites. Can anyone please
give me some simple eay to follow steps that would help me to
install this program. I'm hoping that there will be another OLPC XO
user out there who has more gifts in this area than I have. I will
greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!
PS - Another possibility is a lead to another site that might
offer specialty help in things like this - I've tried the OLPC site
but the Wiki stuff is very complicated!
Maurice20-29

The "unix executable file" just indicates the flag for the file, but it doesn't mean it's going to run, even less to install.
There are several possibilities:
You got an incorrect download, and it's actually a windows program.
Your download is corrupted.
The install file, for some reason, is missing its right file extensions, such as .dmg, .pkg
You got the file from a disk burned with Roxio or other burning utility, which could cause such trouble with file extensions.
You can try opening Applications/Utilities/Installer, and select the path to the file, but I don't think it will work.
Some apps like Macromedia Dreamweaver MX used to show like that, and used their own flash installer.
I think you'll have to contact the software developer.
Good Luck.

Moving files into new folders (help needed)

Help needed connecting to database

I have had difficulty following the instructions in the
getting started manual for Dreamweaver MX in Chapter 7 (Setup for
Sample ColdFusion Site) in the section "connecting to the sample
database" under "creating a ColdFusion data Source". It says:
"1 In Dreamweaver, open a ColdFusion page.
2 In the Databases panel (Window > Databases), click the
Modify Data Sources icon (the second icon from the right on the
panel toolbar).
ColdFusion Administrator opens in a browser.
3 Log in to ColdFusion Administrator and create a data source
called connGlobal pointing to the global.mdb database file."
Not knowing what a "ColdFusion page" is, I try clicking
File>New... and edit preferences to set the default to
Coldfusion page, close and reopen dreamweaver so that it says
"document type: ColdFusion" in the application>databases panel.
However, when I click on Modify Data Sources, a "Coldfusion
administrator URL" box appears prompting with
http://localhost/cfide/administrator/datasources/index.cfm.
When I click OK it does nothing (and clicking Test produces error
404) and I don't get a login prompt.
Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track? Thankyou,
Charles

Do you have ColdFusion installed on your PC? You can get a
free developer version from Adobe. Then, you'll need to set up your
site's Testing Server, server model as ColdFusion.

New computer, help needed!!!

Ive purchased a new computer and im running Windows 7 as i did on my old one. Ive installed iTunes but iTunes wont let me access my library. Ive tried syncing my iTouch but to no avail. Please can anyone help?

It's fairly easy to download most of your purchases from your iTunes account. As long as you have the right account and you installed iTunes, you should be able to download all your movies, music, apps, and so forth. In the iTunes store, there should be an option that says Recently Purchased and from there you should be able to redownload all of your stuff from there. I've had the same issue before as well. In addition, another good program to have that isn't Apple made is TouchCopy, where you can download of your songs off your iPod/iPhone into your iTunes account. If you need any further help, just lemme know!
Why go to all that effort when you can simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. Much simpler than downloading all the content again or extracting it from an iOS device.
