OS 9 networking conflicts/problems

I've got a OS9 networking problem that I can't seem to figure out...
At work we run two PowerMac G4s and two iMac DVs. One iMac (Mac A) functions as our 'server' and is connected by Ethernet to our Airport Extreme and all the others (Mac B, Mac C and MacD) connect by Airport.
Here's the problem. Let's say I work on Mac C. My computer connects by AppleTalk to Mac A automatically each day in the morning. I connect to Mac B with no problems. Then I try to connect to Mac D and it says I'm already connected to it, thinking it is Mac A. Same thing if it's vice versa. If I'm connected to Mac D first, I can't connect to Mac A simultaneously because it says I'm already connected to it.
I don't get it. I consider myself pretty knowledgable when it comes to networks. Each computer has a different AppleTalk ID, different IP addresses. I've trashed AppleTalk, TCP/IP, AirPort and File Sharing preferences all with no success. I've tried to completely disconnect the network and release IP addresses and renew them. Still doesn't solve the problem.
I keep thinking I'm missing something very simple but I just can't put my finger on it. Help!!!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

FWIW, I'd suggest you abandon the auto-logon in the morning until you get to the bottom of this. I believe that info, passwords and such that you long ago set up in Chooser, is kept in the Finder Preferences. Trashing them should enable you to start the whole process afresh. But until you're happy, I'd make every log on a human-conscious act.
I'm curious what happens if you take the system at it's word and attempt to use files on that computer you're supposed to be connected to. If you don't have aliases to files there (Recent Documents?), I'd sure try to make some and experiment.

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

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

Network Accounting Problem

I have a serious network accouting problem arisen from content engine:
Our routers are connected to internal backbone router with enabling Netflow to bill the usage (from domestic to backbone) of each users.
However, the CE will affect the network accounting seriously because it will replace the sender IP address with its own address before sending out to the link.
Would you give me some solution to remedy the problem?
Very Very Urgent!!
Thanks a lot..

Network Extender problems w/Qwest customers during July 2011

I believe I have found the cause of the Network Extender problems surfacing in July, 2011. I am a customer who has been out of Network Extender usage for two weeks now. Read on....
Unbelievably, almost no one at Qwest, Verizonwireless, or Samsung (NE's manufacturer) has any idea what the cause is and neither Qwest nor Samsung knows that a problem exists at all.
After many hours on the phone to all three companies I finally believe I know the cause of the problem. The cause is an updated firmware revision that was pushed to all Qwest customers who use the Actiontec PK5000 modem/router. They have been pushing it out over the last few weeks, so the symptoms have been rolling rather than happening all at one time.
The latest version of the PK5000 firmware is QAP002-3.60.3.0.9.9 When the customer's modem receives that version update (unbeknownst to them), Network Extender is rendered inoperable... the modem does not recognize the NE is plugged into it and does not provide an IP address. The WAN light goes solid red, the GPS goes magenta and the SYS light goes red.
Because Qwest's PK5000 works fine with the upgrade (i.e. both wi-fi and ethernet connections work fine with my Macintosh MacBook Pro), they have no interest in solving my VerizonWireless problem.
Bottom line is VerizonWireless needs to get a patch created "yesterday" and made available to all Network Extender customers who use the Actiontec PK5000 Qwest modem/router immediately. I live in a rural area and despite the fact I've had a VerizonWireless cell phone for many, many years, I'll be forced into changing cell phone providers soon, as will every other NE user who has lost their NE usage because of this problem.
It boggles my mind that no one has figured this out and provided a patch for the Network Extender. Understandably, Qwest could care less this is happening, since their service is not effected. This is truly VerizonWireless' problem.
Now, what can you do??? Call customer service right now and get technical support. Give them the information above and let them know they need to develop a patch for the Network Extender to work with the new firmware (i.e. operating system) of the Actiontec PK5000 modem. It's only when they hear from a bunch of people that they will step up the urgency to find a solution. Thanks!

OK, what's the deal here. I've been having the same problems. Verizon gave me a new extender and I still have the same problem. The week of July 15th everything went dead. I live in downtown Denver and I still can't get service at my house. My network extender is no longer compatible with the PK5000 modem QWEST issued. Firmware got pushed out? uhh... OK that doesn't mean anything to me. Not my problem, but kudos to the gentlemen who figured that out.. Neither Verizon or qwest seem to not want to take responsibility.
So what's next? is there an extender on the market that is compatible with the infamous PK5000? Evidently, the guys @ Qwest I was on the phone with for 45 minutes seems to think it's some type of high speed low drag, technological phenomenon. I'd like to add that if someone from qwest or verizon tech support reads this, I do not have a land line at my house, I have never had a land line at my house so no I can't go to my desktop and troubleshoot the modem while on the phone. just to reinterate I live in downtown denver I do not have cell coverage at my house, and no it's not my house. Everyone in our area does not have coverage.
I've had verizon for over 10 years now and never had a problem. This is the first and biggest problem I had becasue verizon and qwest decided to "bundle" thier service offering...whatever that means.

Font Availability/Possible Font Conflict Problem

I have InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP SP3 machine with the following problem: I have a document I am reprinting for one of my clients and it uses Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold font. It seems that this font comes into conflict, probably due to its name, with Helvetica Neue Bold. If I delete the latter from the Windows\Fonts folder, then in all other Windows programs, the Condensed Bold font shows up. However, *it does not* show up in InDesign CS3. Furthermore, the latter thinks it still has access to the Bold font even after it has been removed from the Windows\Fonts folder. I assume this may be due to InDesign CS3 accessing fonts from elsewhere, but there is nothing in the "Fonts" folder for the main InDesign program folder. I would be very happy is someone can tell me what exactly is causing this font conflict problem, and how I can work around it. But mainly, I need to know where InDesign informs the user about where it looks for fonts (I can't find anything like the specification in Distiller that restricts where it looks for Windows fonts). Any help would be *most* appreciated, as I need to get this out in the next two days and must leave town early Wednesday.

Fonts for Indesign can be stored in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS3\Fonts and they will only be accessible by Indesign. I've had problems with different versions of Helvetica too, but only when they were from slightly different families, or a mixture of types. Now I've got the whole set it works fine, you may have to experiment with your mix of fonts. Bear in mind too that fonts display differently in the Indesign font list than they do in Word for example.

T41 has Network Controller problem

I was given a T41 2373-7JU that I loaded with XP Pro. My problem is it will not connect to the internet via it's browser. In Device Manager it shows a Network Controller problem and I've been unable to correct this no matter how many different drivers I've tried. Also, how do I tell if there's an internal wireless card inside? It did connect to the internet earlier today using my USB adaptor but now I can't even do that anymore. I've tried a dozen or so solutions without any success so where should I go from here?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Following are the drivers you need for Ethernet and wifi card (and yes, as per support page there's an internal card installed in your system):-
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62922
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-42683
To install the drivers successfully, you need to run the .exe setups from C:\Drivers.... for each device after the first setup completes.
For ethernet, the setup is in C:\DRIVERS\Win\ETHERNET\PRO1000\Win32 and for wifi C:\DRIVERS\WLLANCSC.
Hope this helps.

Possible conflict/problem if using edk 5.2.0 with plumtree portal 5-0-3 and collaboration v4.0.1?

Hi,
We are using plumtree portal v5-0-3 and collaboration v-4.0.1. I have to create a portlet where users can use it to submit a request for a collaboration project to be created. Searching through Plumtree Developer Center, there are documents that show me how to create a collaboration project using edk library. The edk that comes with plumtree portal v5-0-3 doesn't contain the api(s) that I need (for example, com.plumtree.remote.prc.collaboration.project.*). However, the edk 5.2.0 does contain these api(s).
Are there any possible conflicts/problems if I use the edk 5.2.0 with our existing plumtree portal v5-0-3 and collaboration v4.0.1? If there are, is there any other way that I could get to these api(s) somehow to create collaboration projects?
Thank you in advance for helping!

Thank you so much for responding so quickly!
Is there any api or way that I could use to create a collaboration project without using the Project Explorer? In our scenario, after a user uses the portlet that I describe earlier in the original disscussion message to request the creation of a project, an admin will take a look at the request and click a button to have the project created. This button will somehow trigger some scripts or codes instead of the admin using the Project Explorer to create the project.
Thanks again for your help!

Network Printing Problems with Windows 8.1 and HP 8600 Officejet Pro

I can not print or scan from my Dell 2720 after the system has gone to sleep. My printer shows as connected to my network. Most time I have to completely restart my PC to get it to work but even that doesn't correct the issue most time. I have removed and reinstalled the printer at least a dozen times and updated the drivers several times. Also another oddity - my router is a dual-band (2.4 & 5 GHz) and my printer only connects to the 2.4 GHz connection which I understand is normal but any device attempting to print must be connect to the 5GHz band or nothing will print. So essentially I have two problems. Any suggestions?

Hi @mhmost,
I would be happy to help you print to your 8600. Running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
Connectivity:
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

If that does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
As for the frequency, you are correct, the printer will not work over the 5.0GHz frequency, only with the 2.GHz.I suggest disabling the 5.0 frequency, and running on only the 2.4.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Safari unresponsive--Network conflict?

I am having trouble with both my new iPad Air and iPhone 5s. The problem is the same on both devices, so I am posting in the iPad community. Both devices are running iOS 7.0.3. Each device has two network connections, an AT&T LTE cellular connection, and a WiFi connection on my home network, using a typical Linksys router that has been working flawlessly with my prior iPhone4 and iPad2. My internet connection is a typical Time Warner service (15Mbs download and 1Mbs upload). Signal strength for the LTE network is 3 out of 5 bars in my neighborhood, and my WiFi connection shows max bars. Speedtest.net reports 15Mbs download and 1.5Mbs upload on the LTE network.
The issue: On random occasions, I will open the Safari browser and attempt to access a web site that I frequent often (e.g. Google.com). The browser progress bar moves slightly and then stops, and the page never opens. I then exit the browser, open Settings, and disable one or the other of the two network connections. When I re-open the browser, the access to the web site is almost instantaneous. I can then go back to Settings, re-enable the network connection that I disabled previously, and the browser continues to function properly. However, at some point later in the day, the whole issue starts again, randomly.
I have rebooted both devices, and done network resets for the WiFi connections. I don't know any other troubleshooting steps to perform at this time. It almost seems as if the LTE and WiFi network connections are in conflict.
Looking forward to ideas on how to address this issue.

Update: I am still experiencing the issue. For the time being, in order to isolate the issue, I have turned off the LTE connection. While at my home, I use Wi-Fi anyway, and this will allow me to determine whether the root cause is with the wireless connection.
BTW, in addition to the iPad Air, I still have an iPad 2, and three iPhones (5s, 4, and 3s), all of which continue to operate flawlessly on the wireless network. If the root cause on the iPad Air is the Wi-Fi connection, I may have a hardware problem.

Network card problem with Mobo make the computer crazy!!!

Im using a msi 745 Ultra version 10/cpu xp2400/basic graphics card/40gb HD, 256mbs of drr
I have tryed 2 networks cards both with the same results & even changed mobo & ram/graphic card/HD.
The computer seems to work fine untill i decide to put in a NIC.
It starts to post the wrong processor speed/screen decides not to display sometimes & takes a little longer to boot into windows. It will also some time crash when i turn on the computer. If i try to save something in the bios it will then reboot & then try to boot of the floppy drive.HD / CDrom drive but will not find them.This has happend on both mobos.
This is a very odd problem im getting need some help ASAP.

Sorry Bakes...folks aren't just waiting arount to help you. Expecting an answer in 2 hours is placing to high of an expectations on a user to user help forum.
No one here works for MSI, we are all users, just like you.
If you have not seen a reply, then there are several reasons that may affect why there has been no reply.
No one knows, or can offer o good answer to you question.
The question is too general and you did not supply the necessary information someone might need to even begin helping you. I have provided the basics on what we need at the top of this forum.
No one may be familiar with your motherboard's chipset, perhaps someone is but they have not visited the forum lately.
I can give only some general tips to consider for the time being.
Some incompatabilities may exist with a certain NIC card.
Check PCI slot IRQ sharing conflicts. Typically I stay to the middle slots and avoid the first and last. You may have to power down, move the card to another slot, and power back up. Each time checking your IRQ's in either Device Manager or System Information to see that the card is on its own IRQ.
Improper BIOS settings can cause conflicts.
Try "Plug and Play Aware OS" set to "No" and let the BIOS manage things or set it to yes and let Windows do it. In most cases it has been recommended to be set to no.
Upon installation of new hardware the setting "Reset Configuration Data" can be useful in avoiding lockups after POST due to conflicts recognized during "Verifying DMI Pool Data"
Possible reasons: Hardware change, BIOS settings change, improper connection of IDE cables, corrupt MBR (Master Boot Record) of the HDD (Hard Disk Drive), defective HDD or defective mainboard.
Possible causes: Hardware incompatibility, virus attack, electric circuitry damage/defect, corruption of data, improper BIOS settings, over-clocking damage.
*NOTE* Some Chipsets do not support this feature, see manufacturers documentation.
That's about all I care to share for now.
Good luck........

[nForce] K7N2G-ILSR network connection problems

My brother's system is as follows:
AthlonXP 2000+
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
2x256 MB Crucial PC2100
Emermax Powersupply
Generic DVD ROM
LG DVD burner
MSI TV @nywhere
WinXP Home SP2
His computer has been working more or less perfectly, although the TV card occasionally causes some trouble. Today, he was no longer able to get on the internet. From both the Network connections and Device Manager screens, his LAN interface is gone. Only the 1394 interface shows up.
So far, I did a system restore to last week, which had no effect. I made sure the BIOS hadn't disabled it for some reason, too, but that isn't the problem. I manually installed the network adapter, and it said that the device could not start, error code 10. The network adapter will not work in Safe Mode with Networking, either. I tried the MS Knowledge base article regarding missing LAN icons, but that article was for situations in which the icons were gone yet everything still functioned, so it didn't really apply. Reinstalling drivers had no effect. I can ping localhost, but that could just be because the 1394 connection can act as an internet connection.
Any ideas? I've not done a repair of Windows on the machine, but I'm not sure that would help. I do have an extra network interface pci card I could put in if it is simply a problem of his onboard connection having died. If I do this, is there a particular PCI slot that I should preferably use to avoid IRQ conflicts?

As far as I know drivers can be installed in SafeMode, but your LAN wont work till in normal.
A repair install is not a bad idea, as Windows is very fond of its own drivers.
LAN and sound problems are often early signs of a PSU near the end. You wouldn't know the specs of the Enermax? I guess it is alright, but you never know.
As the TV-card is problematic, try that one in another slot. Nowadays devices happily share IRQs without problems, but some older devices including older mobos (which is not the case here) were very conservative. ...I'll have to look in my drawer, wait a sec, please. - - --
"The use and sharing of IRQs aren't mentioned in my MSI manual, (due to the APIC function I think), so I had to go to some ASUS manuals. As standards are standards, I believe things can't be to different. If someone has any addings or suggestions please come forward, so I can adjust the table.
*Please note that this is generally speaking and mainly for ASUS boards a few years old!
**Please note that you should not have any sharing with the IDE controller or similar!
***Please note that it is a good thing to have expansion PCI sound cards in slot 3!
****Please note that surprisingly enough it looks like PCI slot 2 would be free for any device, but AGP cards get hot and bigger so it is not a great idea.
IRQ sharing table
PCI 1 shares with PCI slot 5
2 shares with AGP and PCI slot 6, or sometimes with onboard IDE
3 shares not, or sometimes with onboard audio/modem
4 shares with onboard LAN
5 shares PCI slot 1
6 shares with AGP and PCI slot 5
AGP slot shares with PCI slots 5 and 6
USB 1 shares with USB 2, 3 and USB 2.0
2 shares with USB 1, 3 and USB 2.0
3 shares with USB 1, 2 and USB 2.0
USB 2.0 shares with USB 1, 2, and 3
Onboard audio/modemshares not, or sometimes with slot 3
Onboard LAN shares with PCI slot 4
Onboard IDE shares not, or sometimes with PCI slot 2 "

HP LaserJet - network printer problem FIXED

Hi,
I'm aware this may not work for all, but I've sorted my own problems, which I suspect are common to many who still have a really solid HP (or other) network printer that was no longer available since Snow Leopard did away with Apple Talk.
The answer is to do a cold reset on your printer, give it a new IP address, find this IP by printing a configuration page and enter this IP when you go to set up a new printer. In my case, it automatically found the correct drivers. The drivers were never the issue with vanishing printers; it was all about the network IP address. A quick search online and you will find how to do the cold reset and config page. For my 2100TN, it was a case of holding down the cancel button when powering up the printer until the lights flashed for a new IP, and to print, press both buttons.
Hope this helps.

Problem solved.
I upgraded the printer's firmware which resolved the issue.
Thanks anyway! :-)
