Periodic ISP connection loss

My macbook pro is having trouble maintaining a consistant ISP connection. Im on and Airport extreme 802.11n network and I always have full 4 bars/rays/whatever. On the network diagnostics program I get green lights on AirPort, AP settings and Network settings but then red from ISP on. But this problem is intermitant, the bottom three lights can go back and forth from red to green.
However, its not a modem or ISP problem since my computer is the only one in the house that experiences this problem (these computers being another macbook pro, a macbook and an ibook G4). So the problem is definitely with my computer, but just to make sure, Ive done soft resets of both the APX and the modem, as well as try inputing a manual DHCP.
For posterity here is the hardware thats being used:
15.4" Macbook Pro 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo unibody with all software up to date
AirPort Extreme 802.11n with firmware up to date

You might find better luck by logging into the MacBook Pro sub-forum; this list is for iMac. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=190
Members on these forums might have a more helpful input.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Trying to detect connection loss

I have built a little telnet program which is specialized for a specific telnet supporting server... Everything works just fine except for detecting connection loss...
I am connected to the server using java.net.Socket, data is sent using java.io.PrintStream and data is received using java.io.InputStream...
I have tried having a thread running and looking if the Socket was still connected, but even after closing the server, the Socket keeps returning true when I call Socket.isConnected()... How could I detect the moment when a connection is broken, would it be because the user has a modem connection and gets disconnected or because the server shuts down or any other such reason?

You can detect a dead socket when a write to it fails.
So, you could periodically send "keep alive" messages
to know approximately when it drops.Okay, I had noticed that the PrintStream would set it's error state to true when I try to send a message and the socket is dead, but I hoped I didn't have to wait until that moment... Thanks though! You confirmed me I'll have to do it that way :P

Windows server 2012 and windows xp remote desktop connection loss

I am having this problem for a month now, and i am stumped with trying to find an answer . I have talked with several network admins in my area and with no luck i have not found a solution. I have a windows server 2012 placed with 5 pcs that are connected
on a local network , those 5 pc's connect to the server via remote desktop. List of pc's:
1x Windows 7
4x Windows XP SP3
All have the latests network drivers, all have the latest version of remote desktop installed. All have been scanned for viruses. All have antivirus software.
Problem is the 4 XP machines lose connection on when connected via remote desktop. If one starts losing connection the other 3 start to lose the connection aswell. The windows 7 machine is not affected by this it works fine.
What have I tried:
Scanning for viruses.
Disabling Firewall and antivirus software.
Updating all drivers.
Did many changes to group policy like keepalives etc.
Turning off SMBv2 SMBv3.
Turning off network adapter Offload settings.
Changed some registry settings like keepalive, smb etc.
Updating every pc and server with all windows updates.
Changed the router and switch.
Port forwarded needed ports like 3389.
Updating remote desktop to 7.0.
I might be forgetting some stuff i will add as i remember anything.
So the thing is this. I use a Windows XP machine from my office I remotely connect to the server via the Internet and I DO NOT experience any connection loss. BUT the XP machines on the local network constantly experience connection loss via remote desktop.
I pinged every Machine from the server via CMD command PING. So when they lose connection the Packets get time outs . Packets get dropped between 1-10 packets when a connection is lost. This packet drop does not occur when using the internet or anything else.
ONLY when connected to the server via remote desktop. The packets get dropped at random intervals.
Problem is I use an XP machine and I am not experiencing any loss of connection , while the XP machines on the local network experience it , but not the windows 7 machine.
Router is ASUS RT-N53 , and switch is Dlink DES-1008D. Server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.
Can someone please tell me what can i do to solve this problem?

So today got some word from their office. They were using RDP from 8AM until 12PM all was working fine. Then got back after lunch about 1PM and got a few connection lost errors when they tried using RDP again. Its weird since they didn't have disconnects
in the morning, and started having them after lunch.
Also noticed, that two pc were not using RDP and were disconnected as shown in task manager. And they still got request timeouts.
Maybe this is not a remote desktop issue?

Connection loss SUM GUI to SL Controller

Hi experts,
I am experiencing an issue that I need to resolve. It is that I lose the connection from SUM GUI (locally) to the SL Controller running on the remote server.
Currently I am doing an upgrade and after some time, e.g. when I have an error and don't notice it immediately, I get a warning message.
"The connection to the SL Controller is down.
The SDT GUI will reestablish the connection, when possible."
On the server I get the following error message:
May 26, 2014 7:49:47 AM [Error]: com.sap.sdt.engine.core.communication.FactoryAlreadyRegisteredException: Factory for key 'com.sap.sdt.engine.core.com

My current assumption is that the firewall drops the connection due to inactivity.
The main issue then is:
although I restart my local SUM GUI and reconnect to the server I can't continue the upgrade because the Buttons are "unclickable" (grey).
Currently I always had to restart SUM including the services on ther server (SL controller).
My question is:
what can I do to avoid this connection loss?
Is there a option to set a "keep alive" to the network connection?
so that the firewall does not validate the connection as idle and drops?
Unfortunately we can't do much about the firewall settings due to security restrictions.
I would be glad to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Niklas

Hi Mathias,
I got an answer from SAP. There is no option that can be executed with STARTUP to solve this.
I already proposed to forward this request to the dev team at SAP
What I am currently doing is:
Start the GUI and keep it open only if I know if there is are Actions coming next, otherwise I close it (only the GUI) and when some time has passed by I logon again to check.
This is a really bad solution, but currently the only one.

Niklas

Why do I have Intermittent Wifi Connection Loss during music streaming ?

Hello,
I have an ipad3 and an iPhone 4S and I am getting with both devices interruption of the sound when I send music to the Apple TV. It generally happens after a few minutes. The signal for the wifi is still good and I have still access to the Internet I have tried all the recommendations of the article "iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections" but this did not help. I have used several applications for sending music to the Apple TV (music application from Apple and DSAudio from Synology) but I'm getting the same issue. I have also the same issue with the media center application from Bouygues Telecom connecting directly to my internet router. My router is a bbox sensation. I had also the same kind of issue with my old router when sensing photo albums to the internet: I had the error message "your system is running low on ressources". How can I solve these intermittent wifi connection losses ?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Connectivity loss between PLC and Kepware

Hi Experts,
I m working on SAP PCo and PLC connectivity using Kepware.
I m trying to find out ways to find connectivity loss between
1) PLC and kepware
2) kepware and PCo
For 2nd approch,if connectivity loss is there then PCo instance will go in error state and using remote monitoring we can get alert.
But m not able to find any way for 1st approch.
If PLC connection lost then only tag quality in kepware is bad.
Is there any way in PCo expression editor to check tag quality so that i can trigger MII transaction?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

To add to Hubrisnsx's comment ... are you provisioned Ethernet or MoCA for the WAN connection?
Edit: Never mind, I see in the first post you said MoCA. So, if the MoCA channel is staying up, then it sounds like it might be something inside the ONT.
Keep in mind that while some Verizon folks do drop by these forums from time to time, that this is primarily are user to user forum where customers can help one another.

Calendar Crashes on connection loss.

Does anyone know why oracle calendar crashes when the connection to the calendar server is lost. This happens for both Mac and Windows. I am using calendar version 9.0.4.2

after much work I have discovered that this is due to power settings on the mac. if you don't turn off the hardrive it seems to work better. This however doesn't explain the corruption issues due to connection loss.

Internet connection loss using Airport Extreme and Netgear DG843

Hello,
I am accessing internet via a Netgear DG834 router (not wifi), connected to an Airport Extreme base station. Most of the time, I can access internet through the Wifi network of the AEB without any problem. But around once a day I am experiencing connection loss and the only way I found to restore it is to reset the Netgear Router by physically unplungging it.
Both the Netgear and the AEB have up to date firmware, so I suspect some kind of problem in my setup, as I am not an expert in setting up networks.
Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected to the AE (which is also a router if I understand correctly) could cause connection problems ?
I am at a loss, and do not even know how to describe the relevant informations of my current setup. If a kind soul could help me nonetheless, I would be very gratefull.

Is it possible that using a Netgear Router connected
to the AE (which is also a router if I understand
correctly) could cause connection problems ?
Yes.
Ensure that that the AEBS is configured to not distribute IP addresses.
Also ensure that the AEBS is on a different channel to the DG834G.

Okidata C5300 ISP connection - recognized by won't print

My Okidata C5300 connected via an ISP connection to my home network will no longer print.
My computer (MAC Mini) recognizes the printer, will show the status of supplies, passes the network diagnostics with no problem, but when you send a print job to it, it will not print, and I get an error message "unable to get printer status"
I've uninstalled, reset, reinstalled, etc. and nothing works.
It used to work fine, and still works when I print from an PC I also have connected to my network. I can't isolate exactly when it stopped working, but it may have been related to an automatic software update.
Any thoughts?

I answered my own question. I installed it as a Line Printer Daemon with the TCP/IP address instead of an internet protocol printer, and it works fine (so far). Not sure why, but at least I'm back to printing.

Multiple ISP connection on TMG

Hi, guys
We have three ISP connections. How could I configure to control relevant traffic go out via relevant ISP connection?
Nice Day

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, TMG cannot support more than two ISP connections. Meanwhile ISP redundancy can only help you load balance but not select routing path.

Two ISP connection and 4 NIC

I have two ISP connections for Internet and the BM server has four
interfaces, two public interfaces with completely different IP addresses
and two private interfaces.
I want to connect two different Terminal Server one for each ISP
connection.
When I connect to the public side of the server, I can only connect
to the public IP address that is in the same subnet as the default route
uses.
Thank you

That is correct.
This one gets tricky, because of routing issues. If you know NAT, you
might be able to enable dynamic NAT on the private (LAN side) of one of the
internet routers. That will make all traffic coming in that way look like
it comes from a local address, and the second NIC will respond to it.
Otherwise, all traffic will end up going to the default route. You may
need filter exceptions to allow such traffic to go between public NIC's, if
it works at all.
If you just want to RCONJ to the second public NIC, you might be able to
configure static NAT of that address to itself, but the default route and
filters are still going to give you grief.
You might want to look at tip #51 at the URL below, for a system with 2
subnets on one public NIC.
It sounds to me like you need a dual-WAN router to handle the two ISP
connections. I've set up a number of servers that way using inexpensive
Xincom routers (www.xincom.com).

Folders being closed upon connection loss?

The issue is that previously it would bring up an error saying that connection was lost and would still show the folders but without any contents, and it would've been possible to do a refresh when you'd have a connection, now it instantly brings to Network folder.
Update:
Previously before the OS reinstall, I've tested what's causing the CPU usage to go up so high using ProcessExplorer, and found out that explorer.exe is using too much services/libraries, mainly ntdll.dll, which is being looped constantly, i.o. ntdll.dll would be copied and copied and copied until you'd restart the process (explorer.exe)

Hello,I'm currently having an issue with a user that is often on the road and obviously it's often that connection is being lost. That person often opens a lot of folders that we have on our local file server, and as soon as his connection is lost it brings him to the "Network" folder. Any idea what could be the issue? Also CPU would rise up to a %100 in total (File explorer .exe consuming approx. 40-60% because explorer.exe has a looping ntdll.dll library being looped in its process).He uses a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook with a four core i7 processor.Before connection loss:After connection loss:
OS: 8.1 Pro (Latest updates)File server, DC&AD: Win Server 2012 R2, Folder share.
What has been tried:sfc /scannowOS reinstall
