PPTP connection stall, but still "connected"

Hi,
I just bought new iMac 2 wks ago. It comes with Lion 10.7.2.
Got problem on PPTP connection to my work.
Basically, I can create a PPTP setup (VPN) and make connection work. However, it won't last for long, at most 15-20 min, all web request just hang and existing ssh connection will be kicked out with "broken pipe" message.
I use PPTP with Max 128bit encryption.  And also have a "Domain\Username" format login ID and a password as credential. I also let all my network flow go through this VPN.
Please help on this issue. Hope there is someone having the same problem and share the solution .

I have the same problem with my iMac 24 & iMAc 27, both with Lion 10.7.2.
I use PPTP with out encryption.
I don't find any solution

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

  • WIM Chat Slow but still connected

    Hi Everyone,
    During the chat session Agent usually see the alert on the close “Slow but still connected” as per the document it’s a connection speed issue between Customer and the Web Server (Please correct me if I am wrong)
    If this is the then can anybody advise what is the minimum bandwidth requirement for this link or is there any workaround for this. I know this check can be disabled but is there anything else we can do about this.
    Thanks,
    Atif

    Bandwidth for agent is at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/cisco_interaction_manager/cim_432/reference/guide/cim441bom.pdf.pdf
    page 8
    work with tac, slow connections can be analyzed through logs and we can tweak the polling intervals. Also if connection of customer is slow there is nothing you can do to speeden up chat but you can tweak the length of polling to allow these chats without it being disconnected. Web server can also be optimized by following best practices

    do you know what the concurrent user load is and chat load? this can be obtained from reports.

    Hi, Shadiamond Murray.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection.  The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • 8330 Disconnecting in the middle of sync from Desktop Manager, but still connected to computer

    I am new user.  I love my Blackberry 8330.
    However, yesterday I ran into a problem where the 8330 consistently disconnects in the middle of operations with the Desktop Manager.  It often does not occur in one place.  I have received multiple types of errors: Connector Specific Error, 0X80040fb3, Unable to Complete Synchronization, etc.  The spontaneous disconnections are not limited to calendar, tasks, or address book - it has happened during all of these and sometimes before it has even begun to sync.  I have pulled the battery once.  It synched fine after that just to have the same issues the next day.
    This happens in the middle of other operations using the Desktop Manager as well.  Like backing up the files.  It will disconnect in the middle of backing up one of the files, or will only stay connected long enough to backup one file.
    Throughout this, the computer recognizes the blackberry as being connected and the blackberry continues to display the "Connecting to Computer" screen.
    The Start Menu and Taskbar will often hang or disappear after the Desktop Manager ceases to recognize the Blackberry and while the Blackberry is still connected.  Once the Blackberry is disconnected, the start menu and taskbar is released from hanging or reappears.
    Windows XP
    Office 2007
    Facebook, IheartRadio, Pandora, Slacker, Google Maps, and a few other apps installed, Google Search, My Verizon
    Also experience some spontaneous restarts but I think that has more to do with the apps than anything else.  Some JVM 102 errors upon restarts.
    Feel free to ask me questions.  Love the Blackberry but frustrated.  Have tried other things looking through the forum, but none have solved the problem.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    JVM 102
    this is your primary issue, resolve it first, will most likely resolve everything else
    hopefully you have atleast 1 good backup to restore after

  • Sync with my desktop, but still connect to my notebook for Charge/Tether?

    I Sync my iPhone 4s with my desktop computer.  Can I still connect it to my Notebook with iTunes on it, and NOT have it sync?  The only reason I want to connect it is to use my Verizon Personal Hotspot tethered, and for charging.
    I don't want to connect it and screw up everything that is workinig good now, but I need to travel this weekend, and want to charge and tether.
    Is it as simple as just not opening iTunes on the notebook?

    To be clearer. I get a message saying that the machine is not authorised (although I know it is) then I choose authorise and type in the correct apple ID etc and then get a message saying that the computer is already authorised. When I click OK on that I start all over again!

  • Use Extreme as router only (no Internet) but still connect wirelessly

    I have a separate BT Home Hub 4 which I can connect to wirelessly. I want to use the Extreme just for connecting to a NAS drive.
    Is it possible to set up the Extreme as a router only but still via wifi?
    Kind Regards

    Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me.
    You can configure the Extreme to broadcast its own wireless network that network clients can connect to in order to gain access to the attached NAS device.
    However, as it is a separate network, clients would have to "switch" networks between accessing the Internet via the Home Hub or accessing the NAS via the Extreme.
    The AirPort's default configuration will support this. Note: You can use the AirPort Utility to ignore the warnings that will appear when the Extreme is not connected to the Internet.

  • IMac keeps losing ISP, internet and Server but still connected to wifi

    My Imac keeps losing ISP, Internet, and Server but is still connected to the Wifi. To recnnect, I have to go into Netwrok Diagnostics - assist me. This is happening every twenty minutes or so (sometimes less). Can anyone help? I might add that we have recently moved house and never had this problem before.

    Wifi problems seem to crop up a lot on here and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a 'one fix' solution.
    However, sometimes any one of the following can help although, unfortunately, not always. In no particular order:
    Check wifi security - if it's WEP change it to WPA or WPA2 (preferably, as it's more secure)
    Change the wifi channel on the router
    Create a new Network Location: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5289
    Reboot the router
    Also take a look at this link and the links within the article for other ideas. They mainly reference Lion, but still seem to be relevant to Mountain Lion:

  • Call drops but still connected just muted w/o hangup (UK o2 / 3.0 problem?)

    I have the 3GS and alot of the time the first calls i make to somebody, within 5 seconds of speaking...it suddenly turns mute on both sides but shows that im still connected to the call. I then can seem to ring a few mins later and it will not drop the call or may do a while later into the call.
    Three other people who have the 3g have had the same problem so i assume its with the 3.0 update.
    It hardly ever drops calls in the classic sense with a "called failed" or even a hang up. It seems to just go quiet on both sides.
    I also spoke to a friend of mine on who was using nokia, and decided, whilst it turned 'mute', to have a fiddle around with the functions, and he later told me, he could hear that hes been put on hold and then taken off when i tried that function...but we still couldnt speak. So we must be still connected :s
    Has this happened to anyone else, and anyone found a solution. Has it been reported? Its driving me and my friend crazy!!

    Well im hoping that the 3.1 update should fix it up.
    Having looked around, it seems its happened to some people during 2.1.1 and as you say been fixed up through updates. It seems that its not directly related to o2 so i can only assume its the 3.0.
    Its seems if people are having any call problems at all, it either one or the other. As in either "call failed" drops, or this "mute" drop. It'd be intresting to see how much the balance tips between the types. Rather annoying tho.

  • Network diagnostic says connection sucessful but still get error message

    The error that comes up when I try to connect to iTunes is, "Make sure your network connection is active and try again. " I've checked network diagnostics and it tells me that the connection attempt and secure connection attempt to iTunes store were successful. My connection to internet works right now, but internet explorer is not working. When I try to open apple support webpage with explorer, it tells me I don't have permission to access it on this server. I'm using the iTunes 7.0 and have recently re-installed it.
    Can anyone please help?

    As a solution i reset the password, sign out of my account on my iphone and sign in easily but it didn't solve any thing
    Plz help me .. What can i do?!!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 connects wireless, but no connection on other web services

    I installed my new OfficeJet 8600 to work on wireless network and enabled and tested eprinting and all was well.  Every time we lost power the printer would forget the network and I would have to re-setup the wireless connection.  I then folled the directions from the HP website to manually set the IP address on the printer, shut down printer and router, restarted routher and then restarted printer.  I now connect to the wireless network and can print.  HP diagnostics from my computer says connected and on-line.  The e-print box had a red x and said not connected.  I went to the printer control panel and it shows connected for the wireless, but not for the e-printing - menu says not connected.  Even the apps button says not connected, yet I am connected according to the wireless.  Any ideas?

    Well, the problem has been resolved by uninstalling the software and reinstalling the latest version from HP.
    The only reason I didn't try this in the first place was because many of the comments I've seen on this issue before stated they had already tried that and it didn't work. So I saw no reason to waste my time trying something that would be time-consuming with little likelihood of success. However, the printer in question was still under warranty, so i was able to contact HP directly and that's what they ultimately told me to do. I was online with them for nearly 90 minutes trying other things first, but this is what ultimately worked.
    If you decide to try this yourself, I'd suggest you be sure to completely uninstall the current version first. The tech. I chatted wtih told me it wouldn't be necessary, but not doing so caused several other problems. I eventually had to do a system restore, then try again before it would work.
    So far, so good.

  • HT4628 my powerbook g4 os x 10.5.8 leopard is showing-Connection time out while connecting to the wifi.however it showing all available wifi connections around but not connecting it..however ethernet is working

    Problem while connecting with Wi-Fi,
    When i am connecting my powerbook g4 leopard  to any Wi-fi connection it showing -Connection time out, however Ethernet is working .I have updated all softwares but still same problem.

    It's possible that either the internal AirPort Extreme card or the antenna is faulty or has failed.
    One last thing to try before going with another Wi-Fi solutions is to the following:
    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
    3. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    4. Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    Click the "Stop" button.
    5. Create a New User Account
    System Preferences > Accounts
    Click "+" to add a new account
    Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
    Try connecting with the AirPort.
    If none of these help resolve the issue, you may want to consider getting a USB wireless adapter to replace both the internal card and antenna. One such vendor of these adapters is Other World Computing (OWC).

  • After downloading iTunes, it won't open stating need Internet connection. But already connected to Internet. Happened on 2 different computers. How can I resolve this?

    After downloading iTunes,it won't open stating need Internet connection. Have Internet connection but program apparently doesn't recognize it. How can I resolve. This happened on 2 different computers.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Can I turn off my cellular connection completely but still use the gps?

    On an old so, I forget which one, I used to be able to disable my cellular connection. I realise I can still do this with airplane mode but this stops the GPS working too. The main reason I want this as when I'm hiking I want to use my phone as a GPS device but without any signal my phones battery lasts about an hour. When I used to be able to disable it I could get a good 12+ hours of gps tracking.
    Thanks

    It that case I'll test an workaround this weekend to see if I'm able to use it more than one day:
    Disable Auto Screen Brightness and set Brightness to minimum
    Turn Off:
    Data Connection
    Wifi Connection
    Under Location Services, turn off
    Cell Network Search
    Traffic
    Above just to be safe because GSM services will not be initiated
    Reboot phone
    Not unlock the SIM card so the GSM services wil not start.
    I'll let you know if there are some improvements and let's hope that Apple will allow us to turn off GSM services as well in the futures iOSes
    Regads,

  • Not able to use software-update but still connected to the internet

    Hi there , I am currently on 10.5.6 but did this upgrade manually. When I tried to use Software-Update it gave me : Cannot contact the update server. I am connected through Airport Extreme with my Macbook. My IMac is also on this Airport Express and is working fine (Included SoftwareUpdate).
    However I can work on the internet and use Email with my Macbook.
    Itunes is also not able to conect and my widgets are also not working.
    Like I said: On my Imac everything works fine.
    Can anyone help?? please

    There are several things to try.
    First check what is installed. Go to Safari's Help menu and select Installed Plug-Ins. If you see this
    application/x-java-applet;version=1.3.1
    then it is installed and the banking website is not interpreting it correctly.
    Next, go to Safari Preferences, click Advanced, and select "show develop menu in menu bar". Go to the website and then, from Safari's newly enabled Develop menu, select User Agent > some other version of Safari. You can actually select whatever you want - perhaps the banking website is checking your browswer for compatibility.
    If this doesn't work, download and install another browser such as Firefox or Chrome. Try the banking website with one of them. If it works then either continue to use it, or tell the bank to fix its problem with Safari.
