Nvidia nforce network issues with XP

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could either confirm or indeed help.
I have got 36 new nvidia imacs (new education model) and have boot-camped (v2) them and running xp sp3. I have joined them to a Windows server 2003 domain. I have deployed software using Group Policy. The problem is all of the nvidia imacs fail to obtain the deployed software and indeed any group policies assigned to the computer part of the policies.
To test i have assigned the same policies to an OU where the older intel (white edu) imacs that we have are stored. These are successful straight away on 2nd reboot after a gpupdate /force command is run. These work as expected.
There are also problems when the nvidia machines start up. Once they get to the login window in XP if you try to login immediately you get a domain unavailable error suggesting that the connection is just too slow. This would also result in the group policies failing as they do if this is the case.
Also on the mac side they seem to take longer to obtain an IP address for connecting to the OD and AD servers for network logins and also can drop network connections randomly resulting in networked-based accounts on OS X being left in limbo and also disconnecting from shares in Windows.
I have tried changing the dchpmediasense setting in the registry as well as the gptimouepolicy setting also. Both had no effect.
Overall I'm not really very impressed with the nvidia chipset and for this sort of environment i think the Intel chipsets should be used as do other people that have worked with Nvidia network drivers.
TIA.

The instuctions are terse for those new to Solaris, so here's a (unsupported) script to help.
First create file /etc/hostname.nfo0 or (if using NWAM in OpenSolaris) add line "ngo0 dhcp" to /etc/nwam/llp or line "ngo0 192.168.0.2" (where you replace 192.168.0.2 with your IP address).

To find out if your network card is supported, get the PCI id from prtconf -pv
For example, my card is pci10de,ab0 (nVidia MP 79 Ethernet 10/100/1000).
Here's the ngo network driver supported nVidia cards:

P.S., I believe the Sun-supported driver is nge, but it doesn't recognize my card--maybe it's just older cards that it recognizes.

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problem

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris.... i was reading other messages in the forum and apparently solaris doesn't detect my network adapter because when i run ifconfig -a it only shows lo0....
I went to nvidia.com but the drivers on their website are only for the graphics card... where can i get the requiered drivers (and how do i install them under solaris) for my internet connection to work???
i have a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller and connect to the internet using road runner trough a router...
thanks...

Hi,
Same problem here Javisam376, but I am on an AMD x64 platform, and wondered if that might be the reason why the Solaris Express Developer Edition was unable to see the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, so I wonder which platform you're on (32 or 64-bits?) A general Google search for "Solaris NVIDIA nForce Networking problem" gave a fair number of hits, so the problem, seems well known, but no solutions were suggested by anybody, as far as I could see(!?)
But it seems the Linux community has the same problem, since I found this posting on LinuxQuestions.org (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=471094):
"I just finished installing Red Hat 9 on my machine, which is running off of an AMD/NVIDIA nForce2 chipset mobo that has integrated ethernet. I was trying to set up my network connection, but was unable to locate the nvida ethernet controller in the Network app/Network Configuration Wizard. So I went on to nvidia's site and downloaded the x86 linux driver (using my other machine) and used a cd to pop it into the other comp... Saved it to the desktop,
then terminaled: sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run.
It took me through a setup screen where I 'installed a audio and ethernet driver'. I checked the Network wiz again, still no entry for it. So I randomly clicked the hardware browser, and IT lists the 'nForce2 Ethernet Controller' under network devices, but I can't configure it from this screen. Anyway, I would seriously appreciate any help with this. I need to get internet access on this machine quick, so this is drivin' me crazy."

Nvidia nForce Network nic (nge driver) not recoginzed

I have a Transtec Senyo Machine on which I installed Solaris 10 6/06. It does not recognize the Network.
It has a NVIDIA� Quadro� NVS 210 chip set with NVIDIA� nForce� 430B NIC. The nge module gets not loaded, upon boot, and I have of course nod /dev/nge
Any idea on how to track this down?

Very Strange Network Issue With Two Guests on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Failover Cluster

Hi all. We're having a odd issue with two guests on our 2012 R2 failover cluster.
In a nutshell, if we shutdown a particular server (I'll call it Server A) another totally different server (Server B) on the same node loses it's network connectivity to the domain. If we start server A back up, network connectivity returns on server B.
At first I thought server A might be running a service that was somehow linked to server B, so I decided to disable server A's NIC. Interestingly, that had no affect on server B's connectivity.
The next step I tried was pausing server A and again, no adverse affect on server B's connectivity.
Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
One other clue is that if I ping server B from either of the Hyper-V hosts in the cluster, I never lose network connection to server B.
So I would suspect this is some network issue on the cluster, but I'm kind of at a loss where to go from here.
Has anyone seen this behavior before or does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions I can try?
Thanks!
George Moore

Hi Sir,
I'v never seen this before .
>>Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
They are connecting to same virtual switch ?
First please run cluster validation to check if there is any error .
If it is ok , please try the following items for troubleshooting :
1. shutdown serverA serverB
2. then add another virtual NIC for serverB
3. start server B check if the issue happens to both "old" and "new" virtual NIC .
In addition , you can live migrate both A and B to another node , then try to live migrate A to the original node .
If the issue persists , I would suggest you to remove that virtual switch on both nodes then re-create them .

Network issue with initial connections on Hyper-V

This is the opposite of all the other networking issues I have seen with Hyper-V- anyone run into this?
I am running Hyper-V on a Server Core installation, and have had the same issue when I used Server 2012R2 as when I used Server 2008R2 on the same server as a virtual host. The server is an HP ProLiant DL360 Gen8 with 2x 8-core processors, 32 GB RAM. The
VM is sized and configured to stay within 1 NUMA node. It uses a single port of the 4-port HP/Broadcom 331 NIC, with all the TCP LSO settings disable at the switch, host, and guest, same with the power management settings. We have ProxyARP on the network,
so I have set the ArpRetryCount key to 0.
I have seen it happening with and without SR-IOV enabled. The guest OS is an RDS server, so for the sake of our CAL's it has to stay at Server 2008R2. I have set up a HOSTS file to mitigate this problem, as it seems to be a DNS issue- Here's what happens:
The first time I visit a resource, the server will timeout. An example not in our HOSTS file does this consistently: If I go to https://mail.mydomain.com/OutlookWebAccess, it spins for a couple of minutes before timing out. I hit refresh and the page loads
immediately. This server is colocated in-house, as is the mailserver. I'd say it is a DNS issue at some level, but I'd like to know what level it is- Is it just timing out trying to cache the DNS request, or is there a performance issue with a DNS server on
the network? (All of our DNS is AD-integrated running on DC's).
Here is where I'm seeing this:
Internet Explorer- described above
Salient Interactive Miner- at the login screen, it searches for a database and times out. If I go to the setup and enter the IP address, it still times out. It will not find the database server until I quit and restart the program. If this is the same issue,
it would obviously not be a DNS problem.
I DON'T see it in GP9 connecting to a datasource
Prior to setting up the HOSTS file, I saw this in Windows Explorer connecting to network shares on the same LAN segment.
This appears to only happen to the Hyper-V guest OS. As a best practice, whenever Windows Update runs, I update the Integration Components.
I have the bindings properly ordered on the guest VM, with the network adapter the goes to the physical NIC first, and IPv4 ordered before IPv6.
All updates are isntalled, and the firmware is at it's latest revision.
Any ideas?

Hi Daniel,
" This appears to only happen to the Hyper-V guest OS. "
Do you mean that any other hosts can access the network resource normally except these VMs ?
If yes , my suggestion is to disable the VMQ on the physical NIC for the VMs , then try test again .

Networking issues with MacBook Pro

I have tried to find this issue on line and in the forums and couldn't I have seen many people have similar issues using VPN connections or Citrix but nothing what I am seeing. I have 3 MacBook Pros that connect fine to our company network. They have the DNS settings from our DHCP server and I can see their leases and everything. We can connect to network drives however we can't connect any of them to the company's intranet sites. If we type in http://companysite and hit enter both Safari and Firefox come back stating that they can't find the server companysite. Not sure why it is looking for a server by the name of companysite when our DNS servers point to the servers that are hosting the sites.
If I type in the IP address of any company site then it works however using the name doesn't. So it sounds like an issue with DNS but again the DNS servers are in the network settings and Windows machines have no issues with using the http://companysite instead of using http://IP Address. Any assistance would be appreciated.

OK, figured out that if I added my company's domain to the search domain list in Network Settings this would allow the MacBook to use http://companysite instead of the IP Address. However now I need to figure out the authentication issue. We use the end user's network credentials for access to the company intranet sites. Using http://companysite I get access denied. Using the IP address allows the end user to enter in their network credentials.

Network Issues with Visual Studio Online Application Insgihts

My team is using Visual Studio Application Insights to monitor availability of our web server (we use cloud service)by making a call to it every 5 minutes from different locations around the world including Singapore, Japan, France and Switzerland.
We experienced continuous failures of this monitoring from Singapore from September, 19-th and the issue became very big on September 21-st, September, 22-nd. After that on September, 23-rd and 24-th we have failures form Paris. Then starting from September,
24-th to September, 26 we have very high percent of failures from Japan. Our problems finished with one more failure coming from Switzerland on September, 26.
I wanted to find what the source of the problem is since we checked our code and it very simple to cause network issues. However, it is very difficult to reproduce the issue. My questions is - were all these problems coming from Visual Studio Online Application
Insights?
One example error that it is tracked in Visual Studio Online Application Insights is:
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because

Hello Kanio,
There is nothing AI-specific in the stack, and, since the exception was reported to the portal, I would say that AI was working that time. However, if the issues goes away as soon as you disable AI - then it might mean that the issue is induced by AI presence.
Also, you can try the latest AI SDK (0.13 as of today) and see if the issue still happens.

Networking issue with Leopard 10.5.2, Arris Touchphone, Netgear WRG614 v4

I recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.2 and now having long hang times of 15 seconds (if I connect at all) to internet. It's not a signal issue, AND I have a PC that flies on same wireless network.
The same time I loaded new OS, Comcast came in a changed out my Motorola SURFboard SB5120 modem for Arris Touchtone Telephony modem. I am still using the Netgear WRG614v4 with the most updated firmware(V5.0_07)
Of course, I wasn't sure if not being able to connect to internet was a Leopard issue or a networking issue. After many hours of troubleshooting...
1. MANY hard resets through cable company AND buttons on both modem and cable
2. Applied all the newest Updates to 10.5.2 which fixed the issue for about 2 hours, then back to crawling
3. Changed the channel on the Netgear from 11 to 9
4. Went to Starbucks AND Panera Bread and had fast connectivity even from the parking lot!
Although I expect some issues to pop up from the new OS, I now believe the connectivity issue is with either the new modem or router. Comcast insists that their firmware is up-to-date and is automatic.
Should I get a new router? HELP

I've been on the road and everything is working fine, but now I'm back home and the same issues.
BUT for some reason, after a day, something switched up and now the mac is on-line and the PC is not. They are definately fighting each other. Even the wireless printer is wacked. Sometimes when I try to print from the mac, it can't connect to the printer. I then either restart the mac or restart the printer, and it goes through.
The other issue now is that all the lights on the Arris modem are blinking. Comcast is saying something is wrong. They are coming out today. Wonder if I just got a bad modem....

10.4.8 network issue with some routers (Zyxel)

Since I have installed 10.4.8 there is a problem with my Zyxel Prestige 310 router, which after a short period of time "hangs up" - so nobody in the network has Internet conection ( PC's and other Macs with 10.4.7).
After restarting the router everything works fine, until I start a Mac with 10.4.8..
This happens on Intel and G5 Macs..
Today I had a long phonecall with my Provider here in Austria, who told me that a lot of people are having this problem - all with Zyxel Routers - but he doesn't know a solution.
He (and me) is waiting for a fix from apple...:-)

I also have an issue with the 10.4.8 update and a Zyxel router, although mine is not as severe as yours.
Mine has to do with WPA encryption and a timeout setting.
The thread is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3246932
So, maybe this helps?

Network issues with Apple products?

I've got a weird issue with my Apple products connecting to certain networks. Two different instances:
1) My parents house, my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro all have issues in contacting certain sites and apps. Things from google or apple servers wont work. Some things do, if I VPN to an outside network, everything works perfectly fine. I haven't been able to figure out what the root of the issue is. I've switched routers and contacted the network provider but they said it wasn't there fault. This has been going on for a bit. All non-Apple products seem to be fine.
2) My office, I know even less details about the network here, but I'm having a similar issue where my Apple devices get connectivity for a bit then stop and then come back later. If I VPN again, everything works perfectly fine. All non-Apple products work fine.
Anyone have any idea as to what this could be from?

I am having the same problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Really need an update from Apple or a solution. Been reading a lot of posts on several discussion boards but nobody has come up with a solution yet. Apple really needs to send us a fix for this. I understand it is also hapenning in Lion.

Networking issue with D110a

Just swapped out routers (Belkin to Airport Extreme). Lost connectivity to printer, and have been able to reconnect with USB and going through USB port on Airport Extreme. Problem is I can't get the printer networked as Bonjour Multifunction...get the following: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected device. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time". I have updated the network password on the printer and it has an IP address with good signal. Printed configuration page says everything is OK. I have unplugged, restarted, reinstalled EVERYTHING, to no avail. BTW, when I try to check for updates on the printer itself, I get the a Server Connection Error:
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello @wfriedmanct,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you have been having some networking issues since you switched to the Airport Extreme.
I would like to help.
The router may need to have some adjustments made.
~ Multi-casting needs to be on or enabled (Allows Bonjour Connectivity)
~ Wireless Ports, these can also be blocked in security software:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
~ Our printers only support 2.4 GHz not 5GHz
~ Recommended that the network name and password DO NOT contain and spaces/punctuation or special characters
~ Dual broadcasting enabled (for wireless b/g and n networks)
If you are getting a server connection error then the printer either does not have internet access or is getting lost.
I would try a manual DNS.
The following reply by happytohelp01, has instructions for setting the manual DNS.
It is for a 7510, but the steps will be very similar. If you get stuck, please let me know.

IPhone 6 "no network" issues with vehicle

My iPhone 6 pairs with my Range Rover no problem, plays music via the iPod from the iPhone. However, it will not allow for phone calls while in the vehicle using Bluetooth. Just says "no network."
Tried:
Resetting phone
Resetting network on phone
Deleting and repairing phone from vehicle numerous times. No matter what it still says "no network" on my screen display for my Range Rover.
However my iPhone 5S WITH IOS 8 DID work without any issues. So it's not IOS 8.
Tried pairing it with a friend of mines car and same thing. No Network.
I really hope this can be fixed by Apple through a software update because if it's a hardware issue with the new iPhone 6, things will start getting interesting
as I've seen this issue in other threads already and is going viral slowly......

iPhone working fine now in the car, I can call and receive ok and audio is good.
however I can skip tracks forward on the steering wheel and iPhone but can only go backwards to the start of track playing? Not a major problem but everything is ok.
i fixed this by resetting all settings, the network settings only delete all your wi-fi codes. Hope this helps..

Strange Networking Issue with OES

Since moving our entire infrastructure from Netware to OES, I've been trying to figure out a very strange issue. We are a K-12 school system with a data center at the central offices and a single server at each school. The data center has the servers that run all the centralized stuff, including the Master replicas for [root], the DA's for SLP, etc. We noticed that sometimes a school's server will drop out of the SLP tables. When that happens, we also cannot SSH to the school's server from the central servers. We can SSH to it from any other machine on the same subnet as the central servers. The central servers can ping it, but no UDP/TCP traffic can pass between them (no web traffic, etc). We finally realized it only happens when the ISP that serves that school has a brief blip or outage of some sort. The only way we have found to get the servers talking again is to reboot the central servers.
We have tried:
Restarting almost all services on central servers
Stopping and restarting networking
Switching to runlevel 1 and then back
Stopping firewall and/or shutting it off completely
Checking hosts.deny files
Disabling virus scanner (McAfee Enterprise)
Changing vmware network drivers from E1000 (known issue with vSphere 5.1) to VMXNET3
All servers run on HP Proliant servers (blades at central office, towers at schools) running vSphere 5.1. Links between the central office and schools are all 100Mbps fiber via two different ISP (depending on the school's location). A restart of the central office server fixes it every time. I am out of ideas now and at a loss as to why this happens when a WAN link goes down. We thought it was just isolated to one ISP, but it was just that that particular ISP is not quite as reliable as the other. We had an extended power outage at a school served by another ISP over the weekend and saw the same issue with that server after power was restored.
Any ideas or suggestions at where else we should be looking? We also run ZCM 11 at each school and the central office. When this happens, those servers never lose connectivity with each other and with the OES servers on each end. The ZCM servers run on the same vSphere host as the OES servers.

To be clear, while i think this correlation is possible, I do not see any
possibility of causality in here unless your SSH client is somehow using
SLP to resolve the SSH server, which seems very unlikely. I'm not sure if
you're trying to state that SLP is the cause of the SSH stuff, but I do
not think you are.

Hmmm........... so routing works, and the server is even responding to
requests made to it (presumably, or something else is), but SSH is not
responding, or something is preventing it from responding.

I'd get a LAN trace from both sides at the same time. At the very least,
run tcpdump as shown below on both the central office machine as well as
the remote machine to see how the packets differ when trying different
things. If you do a test and do not see output on both sides, do it again
writing it to a file and post somewhere for us to review. Note: since
it's an SSH problem I would either NOT SSH into the system, or I'd be sure
to limit the tcpdump capture/output to something specific to the
connection being tested. Tracing something over which you are sending the
tracing data is never fun since every packet picked up causes another
packet to be generated, to be picked up, to be generated.... ad infinitum.
To see tcpdump output with limited details on the screen:
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -s 0 -i any -vv
To write tcpdump output to a file:
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -s 0 -i any -w /tmp/problem-20140408.cap
While filtering when capturing is typically not desired, you can do it by
adding something like 'host 10.1.2.3' to the list of tcpdump parameters at
the end of either of those two commands. The reason filtering during
capturing is not desired is that you may miss something.... the SLP
traffic, DNS, ARP, ICMP error showing the exact problem, etc.
Good luck.

Networking issues with Windows SBS Server 2003

I have 3 G5 running on a recently installed 10.4.8, they were all previously running 10.3.9. They all connect to a network drive with folders that have color labels on them (only 2 blue and green). In 10.3.9 the labels were fine, now when the machine connects to the server the labels do not refresh utill you have been throught them and selected them all. I have tried delabeling and then relabeling them in 10.4 but it does not help. I have also tried it on another site and it does exactly the same. It also does not seem to matter what protcol you use to connect to the server (AFP, SMB, TCP/IP).
Anyone come across this before and know any fixes?

I dont really have much to offer here except that we use afp with our SBS server and this hasnt come up... on any of our 10.4.x machines.
