Problems sharing wifi adapter with host - Windows 8.1

Hi All,
I'm having a frustrating problem with Hyper-V which is basically making it unusable on my laptop. I can't get the wifi adapter to work reliably for the guest, when it's also shared by the host.
What I've done is create a external adapter connected to my wifi card (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030), and checked "Allow management operating system to share this network adapter".
The guest can connect to this, but the connection constantly drops in and out. By constant I mean it could be dropping and reconnecting a couple of times a second. This only happens when I share the adapter with the host. If I turn that off, then the guest
gets a reliable connection.
This only happens with the wifi. If I'm connected to the wired adapter (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller), then I can share the adapter between the guest and host just fine.
I'm assuming this means there's some kind of conflict between the host and the guest for the wifi adapter. I'm guessing that whenever the host transmits or receives anything that this then must be taking priority and the guest VM gets kicked off momentarily,
only to try to reconnect again straight away.
I'm wondering if this is a fundamental hardware incompatibility with my wifi card, or if there might be some setting I can change, or protocol I can enable to get it to work properly?
- Relevant Information -
Host
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
Laptop: Dell XPS 17 - L702X, 8GB Ram, i7-2720 QM
Guest
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
VM Generation: 2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eugene

Hi Eugene,
>>The guest can connect to this, but the connection constantly drops in and out. By constant I mean it could be dropping and reconnecting a couple of times a second. This only happens when I share the adapter with the host. If I turn that off,
then the guest gets a reliable connection.
If the host and VM are getting IP address from DHCP server , you will see the host and VM are tring to get same IP address .
As a workaround please set static IP addresses for all VMs connecting to that external virtual switch  .
Also you can use ICS to share the wireless NIC to VMs , it was explained within following article :
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/01/09/using-hyper-v-with-a-wireless-network-adapter.aspx
(In addition to this article , the IP address of that "internal virtual switch" should be same as the VMs' gateway )

  • USB wifi adapter with Firefox OS?

    I recently bought a product called Via APC. It is similar to the Raspberry Pi, only it has Firefox OS pre-installed.
    My question is, can I use a USB wifi adapter with Firefox OS? Will it recognize it automatically or will I need to do anything?

    I would recommend contacting APC for more information...
    Thanks!

  • No WiFi adapter found after windows 10 upgrade

    Yesterday I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 but after the upgradation the WiFi does not works.There was no WiFi adapter found and the same goes for Bluetooth.Please assist from where can these drivers be downloaded

     I had no wireless after updating my Pavilion DM4 3002ea to Windows 10 Home 64bit. None of the solutions on here worked for me but I stumbled across the solution when I'd given up and decided to re-install Windows 7. I think the problem arises when you instal Windows 10 without the wireless adapter being switched on so ...  1. Set the BIOS to boot from CD/DVD first2. Boot from Windows installation DVD and once it loads to the installation screen I found I could switch the wireless adapter on.3. Once the wireless adapter is switched on remove the Windows installation DVD from the drive and boot as normal to Windows 10 and "hopefully" you will be able to switch off Flight mode and input your wireless network details

  • Linksys AE1200 wifi adapter with Broadcom BCM43235 driver not working

    I followed the instructions on the Broadcom wireless page from ArchWiki, and I tried every method, and none worked at all. The interface never showed up with "ifconfig -a", and I could not get ndiswrapper to work with the windows drivers either. Any suggestions for alternate ways?

    wolfo9999 wrote:but I know that the os detects it because it shows up in lsusb
    That doesn't say anything except that the device is powered on. It does not say anything about the OS. The OS should know something, the docs claim that the brcmfmac driver supports it, but you haven't provided any info for us to know what's going on. ewaller gave you the hint: dmesg. Also exact lsusb output would be nice, so we'll know the usb-id of the device.

  • I have some problem about wifi sync with iOS5

    Hi~everbody~
    I have some problem with wifi sync, and still don't know how to resolve it. Please Help Me~
    First,I using Windows 7 64-bit, the latest iTunes 10.5, and iPod touch 4 with 5.0(9A334), and of course a WIFI AP in my room.
    Here is my major problem:
    When I setted up enable wifi sync in iTunes summary, the iTunes had identified my iPod and show at left side in iTunes,
    even when I unplug  my iPod touch 4 from my computer, the iTunes still shows there.
    But after one day when I came home, I opened the iTunes want do a wireless sync, but the iTunes did not found my machine.
    I have tried restart computer, restart WIFI AP, disable anti-virus software, close MSN, close teamviewer, and any software may caused some unstable network issue between iTunes and iPod touch 4, but when I done these whole things, the iTunes still not found my iPod.
    So I want to know do Wifi Sync needs any specific net port ? like 80 port or some port else?
    Wish there are somebody can help me fix this, very appreciate.
    BTW: Even iTunes did not found my iPod touch 4, but I can still using "Remote App" to control iTunes music play, so I really confuse why it just can't do wifi sync ?

    This error has got nothing to do with rmi.
    The StackOverflowError means the Java VM stack is filled up. The
    stack is used for keeping track of method calls. An easy way to
    produce a StackOverFlowErrer is the following code:
    class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    a();
    static void a() {
    a();
    So if you call method a() within the same method, the stack
    fills up quickly.

  • Problem in JMS-Adapter with CharacterSet Websphere MQ

    Hi,
    we have the following scenario:
    JMS -> PI -> File
    We have a local Websphere MQ Queue Manager and the follwoing configuration in our sender adapter:
    Transport-Protocol: WebSphere MQ (non JMS)
    Message-Protocol: JMS 1.x
    ConnectionFactory: com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueueConnectionFactory
    Java-class Queue: com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue
    CCSID: 819
    Transport: TCP/IP
    JMS-conform: WebSphere MQ (non JMS)
    In the local queue manager the messages (XML-Messages with header <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>) have characterSet 819 (ISO-8859-1). That's correct. You can open the files with XMLSpy and it works.
    When we receive the messages by our JMS Sender Adapter all the character seems to be in UTF-8 and I don't know why. All the special characters are wrong cause the header of the XML-message shows ISO-8859-1 but all the signs are decoded in UTF-8.
    In the other direction (JMS Receiver adapter, File -> PI - JMS) we have the same problem.
    We create a ISO-8859-1 message in mapping (and it is really ISO-8859-1) and send it via JMS Receiver Adapter to the local message queue. But there the message arrives in UTF-8 encoding. I don't understand this.
    Does anybody know what could be the cause for this?
    Does the JMS adapter convert the messages from ISO-8859-1 into UTF-8?
    Are there any parameters we have to set?
    I hope anybody has an idea what's wrong.
    Regards
    Thorsten

    Hi,
    thanks a lot for your replies.
    our driver settings are correct (as I can see).
    I removed value 819 from CCSID, but we have the same effect.
    The messages in the local queue manager are TextMessages in XML.
    Does anybody know, if we need the standard modules (ConvertJMSMessageToBinary and ConvertBinaryToXMBMessage) in this case?
    Is it possible to set the CCSID for the message payload anywhere in the configuration?
    The CCSID in the Source tab doesn't have any influence to the encoding of the payload message, only to the header data.
    Regards
    Thorsten

  • Problem in Data updation with multiple windows in JSF

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem whitle working in JSF. As per my project scenario I have a list page which shows list of entities. I can click on the id of the entity and open a new window containing the details of that particular entity. In that perticular window I have option to update the details of the entity. I can open as many windows as I wish (Every window opens the same JSP Page) and can update them at the same time.
    If I open 3 windows containing details of 3 entities and update them one by one by clicking on edit button and then update button, it will work fine for all 3 windows. But if I click edit in all 3 windows simultaneously then click update on each of them it will work fine for the first updated entity but for the next windows I am getting the same object as the object is not getting updated with new data in the request for particular entity.
    Can anyone please suggest me any solution.

    Hi Deepak,
    Good to hear that your first problem is solved. For the problem you are currently facing now, when ever some inbound request is stuck in either waiting or partial state any sync that you do from the client is useless because middleware doesn't accept any further inbound requests until and unless the previous requests which got stuck in either partial or waiting state move to either finished or ignore or error state.
    This problem could happen because of many reasons. One reason could be either that particular synbo is not active. If it is active and still the requests are stuck in partial state then the problem could be with middleware system i mean because of heavy load it will take some time to process the request or if the system goes down in middle of processing then it doesn't restart processing.
    So i would like you to check if all MAM syncbo's are active (status should be green). If you are sure that middleware system is also working fine then move that request to ignore state and then do a sync from client and check if the middleware processes the new requests.
    Even if the new requests are stuck in partial state then the only solution could be to reinstall the application on middleware.
    Regards,
    Siva.

  • Problem sharing pdf insertions from PC Windows 7 to mac

    Hello, I've been working on editing a document a client is sharing with me via dropbox. She uses a Mac; I have a PC with Windows 7. I've entered a number of edits--insertions, comments, deletions. Now, when she opens the dropbox document, the locations where the insertions are are still marked in blue, but the inserted text has disappeared. The yellow comments are still viewable. Now when I open the document, I can't see my own insertions any more either. (I have a backup, thank goodness.) Any idea how to get a file to her such that she can see the inserted text? (And to keep inserted text from disappearing if I open the document after she has?)

    If she's using "Preview" on the Mac to open it. It will most likely be "broken" when saving after edits. Preview does that with forms and fillable PDFs.

  • Problem sharing iMovie project with media browser

    Having prepared a movie in IMovie I tried to share it with media browser at 1020p HD.  After 2 hours of processing I got the following error message.  What does it mean and what can I do to fix?  I shared at the mobile level and it worked.
    "Unable to prepare project for publishing.
    The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (File already open with with write permission)"

    I know what the problem is, it's related to Time Machine on laptops running the 10.7 Lion OS.
    This requires using the Terminal app, in your Applications/Utilities folder
    To turn off Time Machine snapshots type in the following command:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    The Mac will likely ask for your password, so type it in and hit the return key. The type the word, exit and hit return. Quit Terminal.
    Open iMovie and try doing another export and see if the same error message pops up.

  • Sharing internet connection with a Windows laptop

    I'm using an older, 802.11b Airport (I think it is Snow) and have no problem connecting my MacBook Pro or my iMac. I've just bought a Gateway laptop running Windows Vista. I cannot connect to the internet on the new machine. I've turned off WEP through Airport Admin Utility. The Vista machine shows as connecting to the network but only with Local Access and is not able to connect to the internet. I took it to a local public hotspot and had no trouble connecting. What do I need to do to be able to share my internet connection with the new machine? Thanks for any help.
    Michael

    It's working. The problem was that windows left the field "gateway" on the wireless device properties blank. I just had to put 192.168.0.1 there to get it to work. Thanks for your help, tomk.

  • Problems printing via AppleTalk with a Windows 2003 print server

    My company is migrating from Windows 2000 Server over to Windows 2003, which is going to be the new acting print queue.
    We have a mix of old and new printers (most of them HP), and our Macs have been printing to the printers via AppleTalk. With the new print server, we could not easily find the printers on the network since AppleTalk was not turned on. However, once AppleTalk was turned on, it was easy to find and add the printers. We are good so far. Before hand, I tried to add the printers via an SMB connection, but kept having problems with NT Authentication errors.
    I tried printing a test page to the newly added printer, and it came back with this error:
    %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: languagelevel ]%%
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    This is about the best reference I've found so far which relates to this problem:
    http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1167812&page=1
    Most of the other suggestions I've dug up so far refer to updating firmware or drivers, but I don't think that is the problem. The drivers on the old W2K print server and the new W2k3 server are the same, so it is my opinion that something on the new print server isn't turned on or isn't installed yet.
    Any ideas on what the issue is here?

    "Supposedly" the same exact drivers were installed for the printer -- the same driver that was used on the old print server. Might something else need to be installed?
    I've found a few other cases where people are having the same error:
    http://www.macfixitforums.com/showflat.php?Board=Forum39&Number=732031
    Below is the error that is printed when I print a test page from http://localhost:631

    %%[Error: syntaxerror; OffendingCommand: --nostringval-- ]%%
    %%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored]%%
    Below is the error that is printed when I try to print a document (I've tried Safari, Preview, and TextEdit).

  • MYOB AccountEdge - Sharing data file with remote Windows PC

    I use MYOB AccountEdge in a Mac environment at my office. Bookkeeper uses MYOB AccountEdge in a PC environment. We both would like to be able to have access to my MYOB data file. Simultaneous access to the file is not a requirement. We're not in the same office, so one of us would have to access the file remotely. I have Mac OS X Panther Server installed on my server. The MYOB folks told us that, in mixed environments, the data file would have to reside on a Windows server in order for both the Mac and PC to have access to the data file. They said that the Windows PC would not be able to access/use the file if it resided on a Mac server. Bookkeeper does not have a windows server. Before I go out and buy a PC to act as a server for the data file, wanted to know if the MYOB folks knew what they were talking about. I know it's their product, but over the years I've found some companies who make both Mac & PC software to be sometimes mistaken about the capabilities of the Mac platform.
    By the way, I do have a static IP address and broadband internet access. I would think that Mac OS X server would allow a PC to access and use the data file without any problems. Any advice/help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Sharing a monitor with a Windows machine

    Following the general advice in this forum, I would like to install an old Windows-pc to run some games, rather than using a Windows emulator. Would it be possible to share my Iiyama Vision Master 400 (works well with the Mini) with a pc?

  • Audio problems sharing iphoto slideshow with iDVD

    I have created a slideshow of 200 photos and 4 random tracks from itunes.
    It plays fine in iphoto. When I share it with iDVD and a .mov file is created only the first Track of audio plays both in preview and from a disk image. The rest is silence. The slideshow is set to match the display time to the total audio and this remains the same. I've tried removing the encoding and the itunes helper plist. Any other thoughts?

    If you have Garage Band - make one track with the four songs/tracks and save in iTunes and use that track for iPhoto - just did that and worked great -

  • Windows 10 wifi adapter problems

    Ater installing and upgrading from windows 7 to 10 I couldnt been able to connect to any wifi networks at all on my laptop. When I try updating Ralink RT3290 802.11 bgn wifi adapter it says im running the latest drivers. The adapter is entierly disabled when I try to enable it in the network connections nothing happens.

    I think I found something that may help.  Did you have Cisco VPN software installed before you upgraded?  I did, and I think that caused the issue.  Since I rolled back, I won't know for sure.  I'm going to do a fresh install of Windows 10 this afternoon and see if wireless works.   See these posts: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home-Networking/No-WiFi-adapter-found-after-windows-10-upgrade/td-p/5170831 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfpro-surfusingwin10/no-wireless-device-after-upgrading-surface-pro-to/79b27611-d00a-4482-aa03-117abd0f51fb
