Problems with networking after sleep since March 1st EPI firmware update

Hi,
After the new EPI firmware upgrade of my macbook pro (4 months old) a problem that I had 3 months ago re-appeared again :
when I received my laptop (Lion, fully updated) a few months ago it had problems getting internet access after waking from sleep : it could detect the wifi-network, it was connected and when I tried to ping -for example- google.com in terminal it would answer. This means my network was working and DNS was working too...
Only when opening safari, or software update or any other program that wants to go online, it would give me a 'no internet connection' message. After 3 minutes or so, it would work again (wihtout doing anything). I tried renewing the DHCP lease, moving the order of interfaces, re-adding the networks after deleting but nothing helped.
The problem back then was solved after a firmware upgrade, and it would be online 2 sec after waking from sleep.
After this week's firmware upgrade the problem came back......
Anyone have any suggestions, or anybody know if Apple is working on it again?
Thanks,
Koen

For me the problem is solved now.....last night software upgrade popped up with "another" EFI-firmware upgrade, and after this it worked again....too bad I didn't look at version number. But I'm happy I wasn't the only one with this problem....
For the questions above : this was abviously firmware related since it happened directly after the first update. If something has worked and nothing changed in the peripherals the problem is in hte thing that DID change...the firmware. I was surfing after solutions and I did see that there is a problem for some people with the way the OS passes on the DNS (so when pinging, the DNS is picked up directly or something, but in applications such as safari.... it grabs the settings from the OS somewhere). There was a terminal-based solution to reset this setting but by the time I wanted to try it the frimware upgrade popped up....but maybe it can help others...

    I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
    It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
    I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
    and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
    They don't have answers and don't understand about  "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
    I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
    that was supposed to fix the problem.
    they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
    So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
    and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
    wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
    Great! what a convenient solution.
    I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
    Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
    Thank you very much and God Bless you!

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • Problems waking up after sleep since 10.8.3 update

    A couple of weeks ago, I updated to 10.8.3. Since then, I have been having difficulty waking the machine after sleep. I get the constant beach ball. On a forced restart, I will get the spinning gear followed by the prohibitory sign, like it can't find the OS. I have tried rebooting in safe mode, resetting PRAM/NVRAM, repaired disk and disk permissions with disk utility, checked the status of hardware with (AHT), reinstalled OS X (twice), but the problem persists. I'm at a loss and have no idea what else to do.
    I'm seriously regretting upgrading from Snow Leopard at all.
    I've been trying to run time machine to back everything up, but my external USB backup disks keeps randomly unmounting, so I can't even get a solid backup now.
    Please help.

    No, it has nothing to do with being Friends or not.
    There are more and more security issues with java, Oracle comes with updates almost every few weeks. Until lately Apple had it in theuir distribution system, but because of the security issues decided that it was not good business to distribute automatically this leaky system. So with new system updates the Java is removed to make sure the customers reinstall the latest version. You can download from both Oracle and Apple, but don't download from any other source.
    Luckily I do not need it anymore and have not installed Java since a few months.

  • Problems with network AFTER 2.1 update

    Been using the 3G Iphone for a month or so with no issues. After updating with 2.1, specifically at my home, instead of bars, no service. I rebooted, etc. When I turn off 3G, it works, and I have 5 bars. I really don't wanted to have to mess with the settings everytime I leave my house, and because it has been over a month, can't really return the phone. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

    I am having EXACTLY the same issue. I've had mine for nearly two months now. I've had no 3G, or any kind of connectivity problems from home during that time. I've typically had full bars at home.
    Yesterday, after updating, I noticed that my iPhone was showing "no service" at home. Every couple minutes I'd notice that it would get connected to AT&T, but no 3G, and then it would lose connectivity within a minute.
    I naively thought that this was just a problem with the towers in my area, so I didn't worry too much about it and went to bed. This morning, I've been experiencing the same issue.
    I tried rebooting a couple times, that didn't help. When I disabled 3G, my reception came back, and I have full bars. The full bars have been consistent, but every time I enable 3G, connectivity disappears and I'm left with "no service".
    Is this problem uncommon? Is my iPhone defective? Am I doing something wrong that I don't know about?
    This is my first Apple product and I must say that between all of the 2.0 stability issues and this that my experience has been pretty negative.

  • Problem with network after installing Parallels

    I decided I wanted to try installing Windows 7 on Boot Camp and then downloaded a trial of Parallels 4 and installed the Boot Camp partition in Parallels. Everything seemed to be working fine at first but since doing that I cannot connect to Mozy to do my backup any more. My Parallels trial has now expired and I have uninstalled it and also uninstalled Windows 7 on Boot Camp but I can still not connect with Mozy. It gets stuck on "Communicating with servers" and won't go any further.
    Is it possible that Boot Camp or Parallels changed something in my network settings? Everything else in my network works except for Mozy. It is very frustrating because I paid for a 2-year subscription to Mozy and now I can't use it.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi ,
    After this please try to check the protocol which bounded properly .
    If it is normal and still can not access outside as you mentioned above  , please try to open the device manager -->
    view --> show hidden devices --> then try to remove all the devices under network adapters
    (I would recommend you to note the driver files' path in the properties of physical NIC in device manager --> tab
    driver --> driver details , try to delete the file after remove the NIC in device manage )
    Then restart your computer , install your NIC driver and retry .

  • Problem with network after deleting NIC teaming.

    We have server HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 with Windows Server 2012.  Couple months ago I  created a team NIC Teaming (use 2 network interfaces, the other 2 are disable and not connected).  Also NLB (Network Load Balancing) feature was installed
    but not configure (I think it is important). IIS and MS SQL 2012 Express were installed too and anything else
    Now I need delete team NIC Teaming and use network interfaces separately (with different IPs but the same network 192.168.1.0). When I delete team and configure IPv4 with static IP (we don't have DHCP) network does nor work. Because there is no default gateway
    in IPv4 properties. It is problem and I don't know how fix this. When I recover team NIC Teaming - all OK. I checked registry and Gateway is in Interfaces (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<Adapter
    GUID>)
    I uncheked NLB in network adapter's settings.
    I did
    netsh interface ip reset 
    I checked Route Print  -  0.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.1 is present in single copy.
    I reinstalled drivers network adapter - it fixed problem before restart. After restart the problem recovered :)
    I don't know what should do next.. I cannot resetup OS. Could you please help with this, please. And sorry for my English.
    Best regards,
    Alex.

  • Problem waking imc after sleep since installing mountain lion

    iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac7,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          2

      Boot ROM Version:          IM71.007A.B03
      SMC Version (system):          1.21f4
    I installed mountain lion and since then when the computer sleeps for more than 1 hour, I come back to a blank screen. Initially I could use the mouse as a chalk board eraser and uncover the login most of the time. This showed a white box erasing a black screen. Recently, I come back to a grey screen with a black box that does not move in response to the mouse or arrows. I have to do a hard shut down and then restart to use the imac. I run Norton antivirus scans regularly and they have not found a virus.

    Thanks Paul. I tried it and it didn't work. I completely removed the program.There are reports of MAC mountain lion viruses I found online and I still worried. I did not find any other cause for the situation though. Interestingly, Norton came out with upgrades that claimed to fix the problem I was having and stated it was now compatible with the new OS.
    Downloading the newest version of Norton and installing it from scratch ( my subscription was still good) did resolve the issue.
    I believe there was some part of the old program that hung around and was not uninstalled completely. This must have been fixed with the latest vs installation.
    I have used Norton almost as long as I have been using Macs. ( since the first Macintosh). I have found and been able to remove viruses before. I am skeptical that any OS will eliminate the need for virus protection.

  • Iphone 3gs problem with network after upgrading to 5.1.1

    Hi...
    I have Iphone 3gs and requested official unlock from my provider. They said they did it and all I have to do is connect it with iTunes.
    I had ios 3.x and upgraded to 5.1.1 through iTunes.
    But now after upgrade, my phone is not unlocked and niether works with original card.
    3G network is one second ok, after one second drops to 1 line, and after that I got No network.
    I managed to make call, but that call only last for 1 second.

    I wouldn't assume that.  Don't know anyone who changed carriers without canceling the original.  The intermittent connections he describes are typical of SIM card issues.
    The point is that your statement that "updating is not enough" is incorrect.  When he "updated" to iOS 5, a full restore was already done. If there were errors during that process, restoring again might help, but its not necessary to restore.

  • Is anyone else having problems with scrolling and games since the recent iOS7.1 update?

    The scrolling on my iphone 5s has gone haywire since the recent update to iOS7.1.
    Its worse in Twitter and FB. When trying to scroll down the page its sending you up the page or its just flashing and not scrolling at all.
    When playing games it seems to be taking ages for certain games to catch up and the touch screen doesn't seem to work.

    Did you do a reset?
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • G580(2189) Wi-Fi doesn't want to connect to a network after sleep.

    Hi.
    My G580(2189) don't want to connect to a Wi-Fi network after sleep. It's not just my network at home, but at work and other points of interest as well. It usually after a reboot it works again. And sometimes, al tho rarely after just going back to sleep and waking it up again.
    I've tried updating drivers, but always been confused to what hardware is being used in this laptop since it just says "broadcom" or something.
    I did update my device to Win 8.1. But I'm pretty sure I had this problem before that tho.
    And I tried to contact Lenovo support, since I'm not really a forum-kind-of-guy. But their support site it so confusing for simple person to person contact.
    Tanks in advance for any advice.

  • HT4623 I have a big problem with my IPhone 4 since I've updated to IOS 6.0.1.

    I've got a problem with my IPhone 4 since I've updated to IOS 6.0.1. After the call I'd like to end the call but the picture on the screen becomes magnified
    so that you cannot see anything and the screen is not reacting. I need to restart the phone. But 7 or 8 times daily to restart the phone  is not really convenient.
    Has got anybody the same problem? How can I go back to IOS 5 ? Before the update I was a happy user of IPhone.
    Thanks for help.

    Downgrading your ios is unsupported by apple. Go to settings, general, accesibility, zoom off..?

  • Problem with network on Iphone 4

    Please tell me if someone has a problem with network on Iphone 4?

    Of course other people have had problems. However, just knowing that other people have had some vague, undefined "network problems" most likely isn't going to be very useful. You'll get more and better help if you can give some details about your specific problem. Include who your carrier is, what country you're in. Then describe the exact nature of the problem. Then, maybe someone will be able to give good suggestions.
    And, by the way, the free bumper program ended some time ago. It also was only a "solution" for one of many possible problems.
    Best of luck.
