PPPoE works in Windows XP but in OS X just says "authentication failed"

I connect to the Internet via a cable modem. When I boot into Windows XP (SP3) and make a PPPoE connection, it works perfectly.
When I set up the same PPPoE connection on the Mac side however, it won't connect! It just says "authentication failed." I thought this might be some Snow Leopard bug so I busted out my old PBG4 with Leopard 10.5.8 on it, and it gave the same errors.
As a side note, my AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme routers also cannot connect with PPPoE. Is there something wrong with Apple's PPPoE implementation?

I know HOW to set it up. I've been rocking Macs for years and years. I'm just baffled because the PPPoE doesn't work AT ALL in the Mac (or with either of my 2 Apple routers) but works perfectly fine when I Boot Camp into Windows XP.
I've also tried downgrading the firmware on the AirPort units as I heard that helped in some cases...certainly didn't help in mine though

My iPhone was working correctly with FaceTime but now it's not , say (waiting for activiation) what should I do ?? Kindly if you can help!!

Thanks for your answer...
My iPhone was connected to a wifi internet when I tried to activate it and when I tried activation by iTunes I was using my laptop with windows 7 which was connected to internet by cable.
I updated my iPhone to IOS 7 when I was in Egypt and I had no problems with updating it and I can't remember if finding my iPhone option was on or off before updating to IOS 7 and as i understood from searching internet that to use iCloud Finder on web from computer to find my iPhone it should be set up already on my iPhone and I didn't set up iCloud on my iPhone before and my Apple ID wasn't verified for iCloud till today, I verfied it by logging in iCloud from a friend iPad.
I was considering already the option that my iPhone has been hacked but if this happened so how I would unlock my iPhone and activate it to back to work? who would help me with that? I'm so tired of being without my phone for almost 4 days and I started to consider not having any Apple product anymore... I think that this way to secure the consumer has a lot of conflicts...

Firefox has stopped working in Windows 7 but works in Windows safe mode

I am sending this from a different computer on which Firefox works fine. My problem is on a Windows 7 PC -- in the past few days Firefox has stopped working in normal mode but works ok in Windows safe mode. I keep getting a Windows error message that it has stopped working and I will be notified if there is a solution. Of course, I am never notified. I have tried resetting Firefox when in Windows safe mode, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, after having deleted all the program folders and appdate. I've exhausted every possible fix I could find in the Mozilla support forums but I still can's solve the problem. Can you help please?

PEAP works with Windows zero but not with CSSC

I got PEAP to work using the windows zero config but I cannot get PEAP to work when usin CSSC on the same laptop.
When using CSSC I get asked for the password and authentication fails. ACS is reporting PEAP authentication failed due to unknown CA certificate during SSL handshake.
Any suggestions?
Seth

Look at this ....
Server Validation
–The Personal stores are not used for server validation.
–When the configuration specifies validateChainWithAnyCaFromOs, the certificate must be installed in the Local Computer\Trusted Root store.
–Any Root CA certificate included in the configuration is ignored and the configuration is translated to validateChainWithAnyCaFromOs. The Root CA certification must be installed by some other means.
–The certificate store is limited to Local Computer during machine authentication and user authentications when the connection is attempted before Windows logon.

Attempting to use certreq -enroll to enroll to a client authentication certificate works with Windows 8, but not with Windows 7...

This has been an issue for a while now. Trying to use certreq -enroll -machine [Template Name] on Windows 7 machines fails with not implemented. When I run this command with the -q flag I see that the certificate I want is unavailable and displays:
A valid certification authority (CA) configured to issue certificates based on this template cannot be located, or the CA does not support this operation, or the CA is not trusted.
When I go into the properties of this certificate and goto the Certification Authority tab and check the "Show all enrollment servers" it shows my server greyed out with this message:
The system could not determine if you can access this certificate. Not implemented.
The template sits on a enterprise 2003 server CA and this process works with Windows 8.1 machines. Which means that the template has the correct permissions and is issued correctly.
Is this a known issue with Windows 7 or am I missing something in the config? Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi
I have done some tests on a Windows 7 Enterprise machine and a Windows 8.1 Enterprise machine, it turns out that I have the same issue with you.
On the Windows 7 machines, I cannot use Certreq.exe to request machine certificates, but I can successfully request user certificates, and there is no issue with the Windows 8.1 machine.
Best Regards,
Amy
Interesting. From what I can tell, there are no patches that fix this issue either...

HP CM1312MPF drivers don't work via Windows 7 but works fine via Linux dual booting

HP CM1312MPF drivers don't seem work using Windows 7 (64-bit) . Original HP drivers CD now lost. Current drivers were downloaded from HP's website. (This webpage has a number of drivers and most 64-bit ones have been tried. Prior to my Windows re-install, the machine printed and scanned satifactoralily in Windows 7. One day this O/S refused to boot and had to be fully re-installed. The reinstall has been tried on both a SSD and on a HDD. (I have 3 x HDDs and 1 x SSD in this Desktop system. and I dual boot Windows7 and Linux Mint with data on its own HDD.) No attempt has yet been made to scan after this Windows re-install, as I have a separate photo scanner. I mainly wish on the to print on CM1312MPF, however it did scan perfectly well prior to the reinstall of Windows. THE CM1312MPF PRINTS FINE VIA THE SAME USB OUTPUT LEAD (AND POWERED HUB) AS VIA LINUX MINT 17 (PETRA) when I dual boot and without any PHYSICAL CHANGES between changing O/Ss. It must be a driver problem, surely, mustn't it? I look forward to your help. John_of_Penrith

You can also disable that windows wireless "Critter" from device manager and it shouldn't ever again show-up in your adapter list. Thanks for the lesson. I too have wondered about the windows virtual adapter and what it's for. I never had it show-up in my adapters though in the network and sharing center. That was strange that it happened to you. I also occasionally just go to device manager and reload the adapter that came with laptop-not the windows one. It
seems to keep it running fairly well since there have been no new drivers for it. I think it was an experiment or something called the DW1501 Wireless half-mini n that came with my Dell Inspiron N7010 laptop. I don't particularly like it as compared to the other wireless adapters in my home, this thing is slow on downloads, but I don't want to bother to get a new adapter.
Anyhow thanks for the interesting lesson.

Web cam stopped working with Windows 7 (but works fine with Ubuntu Live CD).

Since two days my web cam stopped working. I am using Windows 7 64 bit and I have a Toshiba L505d S5992. It does not show in Device Manager and Windows Update doesn't recognize it, manually I can not install it, so my best guess it was broken.
But then I tried the LiveDVD of Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) and it recognized immediately my web cam and the blue light came on. I have no clue what happened with Windows 7 but it's getting very frustrating.
Any help would be very welcome at this point.

Download the webcam application for your unit from this website.
Uninstall it on the programs and features then installed the downloaded webcam application.
Hope this will help you solve the issue.

Illustrator extention export PDF file as PSD worked on Windows XP but not on Windows 7

We have a extension that convert files to CMYK PSD with color profile attached. It worked fine (for most of files) on Windows XP but not on Windows 7.
var expOpt: ExportOptionsPhotoshop = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
expOpt.resolution = 300;
expOpt.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
expOpt.embedICCProfile = true;
doc.exportFile( psdFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, expOpt );
above code never throw any exception on Windows7, but just no file been saved. It only happened to convert PDF to PSD.
If I manually open file in Illustrator (win7) and export it as PSD, I got ‘not enough memory’ error. I googled a solution make the manual exporting worked but still the extension didn’t work.
The solution for manual operation is set ‘additional plug-in folder’ for preferences-> plug-ins& Scratch disks’.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Ling

I apologize for not having an answer. I just wanted to chime in and say that I am having the exact same issue. I have never had this before. It's happened ever since I had my hard drive replaced and Illustrator has been reinstalled, so I am assuming that it's a preference somewhere that I have missed?

Wifi works on Windows laptop but not macbook - help please!!

Hi! I'm a new customer to Verizon having just moved to the US from the UK. We have the DSL service with the 7500 Westell router. I've set up the wireless and it works fine on my husband's laptop (IBM thinkpad with Windows XP) but my MacBook just will not connect properly. I can see our network in the list, and it will connect, but either it drops the connection immediately after connecting, or stays connected and the internet doesn't work. The ethernet connection works absolutely fine. Any advice gratefully received!
thanks in advance,
Kate

Quick quote from the FIOS area..
http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Ipod-Touch-quot-Unable-to-connect-quot/m-p/12508#M1968
remember that all apple products use lower-case letters in the passcode (WEP KEY), and use zero's ( 0 ), not capital O. Then you may need to, instead of just trying to connect to your network, go to 'create a new network' and enter all info there to build the new connection, remembering that you are using dhcp. Or you may be able to, after clicking on your network, find out how to enter your security code (WEP KEY) (passcode).
If you disable your passcode then anybody can use your wireless network
While you are not on FIOS, I hope this helps...

Crystal reports not working in windows 7 but working fine on XP

I have a VB .net 2005 windows app. It has been working on Windows XP (32-bit) environment for a while and now we are moving to Windows 7 (64-bit). The program runs fine except for the reports which was written using the crystal report built in with VB .net
2005. I get an error Database login and it asks for user ID and password. HELP PLEASE !!!!
I am using the following connection string:
DBconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & str_data & ";Persist Security

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but a message pops up saying "the itunes library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file. How do I fix?

I have downloaded the most recent itunes on my new computer with windows 8 but when I attempt to get in I get this message "The itunes library.itl file is locked, ona locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." How do i fix this?

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

Remote desktop policy works on Windows 7, but not on Windows 8

Hey all,
We have a mixed environment of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines.
Our standard policy enables remote desktop on all machines (and another part of the policy sets the groups allowed to remote access).
On windows 7, we are able to RDP to all machines
On windows 8.1, remote clients cannot connect, with a timeout error. This occurs from other Windows 7 or Windows 8 machines.
I have confirmed:
- The policy has applied (by looking in the registry under HKLM\software\policies\Microsoft\windowsNT\Terminal services)
- The windows firewall is letting the RDP traffic through (and the issue still occurs if the firewall is off)
- The group policy templates being used in the policy are Windows 8.1 and the GPO was created on a Windows 8.1 machine
- If I set the registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections = 0, manually or via GP Prefs, it still does not work
- There are no visible errors in the application, system or security logs
- I have compared registry snapshots before and after the change below and cannot see any differences in the relevant keys
If I take the machine out of the OU and place it into a "noPolicy" OU, connections still do not work (after setting the regkey above) - however, if I use the GUI to turn off remote desktop then turn it back on, it works. I can then place the computer
back in the original OU (where policy is applied) and it still works.
All this leads me to believe that remote desktop is not being turned on "properly" (for want of a better term) by group policy and doing so via the GUI is doing something different/additional.
So...
- Has anyone seen this before ?
- Anyone know how to turn on some sort of trace logging for this ? I have been unable to find a setting for this as yet ?
Thanks.

Hi Ben,
Did this happen to all Windows 8.1 clients?
>>however, if I use the GUI to turn off remote desktop then turn it back on, it works. I can then place the computer back in the original OU (where policy is applied) and it still works.
Did we try restarting the machine to tackle the issue, for sometimes restarting can be helpful.
>>Anyone know how to turn on some sort of trace logging for this ?
I am not sure this is what we want for tracing this issue, but for tracing group policy processing, Gpsvc.log can be helpful.
Regarding how to collect Gpsvc.log, the following blog can be referred to for more information.

Airport express works with windows xp but not OS Tiger

Hi all
I’m a troubled man.
I have recently bought a new Mac pro along with an airport express. I am a first time user of Mac’s.
Here is my problem.
I use a DSL modem and my airport express is connected with the LED indicator in solid green. When I try to connect using my user name and password the “searching for POPPE sever appears at the top of my screen.” And after a few seconds “could not find POPPE server. This happens all the time. I tried to get air tunes working but itunes could not detect my airport express.
Now since I’m an engineer I needed to run auto cad on my Mac so I downloaded Bootcamp, partitioned my Macpro hard drive and installed windows XP on my Mac book pro and to my surprise windows xp found my airport and connected to the server straight away. So I experimented and download the xp version of itunes and what do you know the xp version of itunes detected my airport express and everthing worked fine for Windows! This suggests to me that the problem lies with the mac software as the airport express is working fine. Whats going on! I do not understand.
When I go back to tiger it sees my airport but cannot connect. I run the airport assistant but it cannot detect my airport. I run the utility airport program but it cannot see my airport express. I go back to windows XP everything works fine???????
If you can come up with a solution to this strange problem I would be very grateful.
Thanks

The user name and password may be just fine but the dialer software for OS X may be quirky to the point where it doesn't work with your modem through an Airport connection. My recommendation is to try uninstalling the DSL dialing software from the computer and setting up the Express to do the dialing for you. Your computer connection then becomes straight Ethernet.
If that doesn't work, have you checked to see if there's a newer version of the OS X dialing software available?

PPPoE works in Windows XP but in OS X just says "authentication failed"
