S205 Internet disconnection on wired network

Hello!
I have a problem with my IdeaPad S205. It sometimes disconnecting my network for no reason when I am on wired connection. Sometimes it is working for hours without disconnection, sometimes it disconnects after 30 minutes or 1 hour.
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x86. I am sure that is not a problem from router or ISP as my other PCs work and get no disconnection. I updated my LAN driver and the problem persists.
What can I do to fix that? Could that be a hardware problem?

LE: I get no disconnection on wireless network on same router.
Happy Holidays!

have you tried to use manual ip configuration instead of dhcp?

My ipad disconnects my home network even the wire ones eveytime I use the internet

My ipad disconnects my home network even the wire ones eveytime I use the internet (trough apps or browser or even email.)
Everytime (since I update to IOS 5) I try to use the network the ipad disconnects me, none of my other devices can't use the internet. I can use all my other devices while I'm not using the ipad to go to the internet (again, even my wire PC.)
I have followed few advice from here (resetting) and the problem remains the same, right now I'm not using my Ipad at home at all since it disrupts/disconnets/reboot my router I mean what do I need an Ipad for if I can get online. HELP!

How about some details on what make, model and version router you have and how it is configured?
What you have sounds like a bug in the router firmware or hardware. Check for a firmware update to your router on the manufacturer's support web pages. If you can't find any get a new router.

Wireless internet disconnect problem in a network

We just set up a Roku Soundbridge so we can access both my music library & my husband's PC-based music library. We're connected through a wireless router that we don't have problems with. The challenge is that we both have our music on laptops, and I can't connect to my music if my laptop is closed.
I've already set it to never sleep, but my Airport disconnects when I flip down the screen (his PC stays connected...). I've looked at all of the Airport settings, all of my energy saver settings, sharing settings, anything I could brainstorm to be relevant via Mac Help & as much as I could stand to look through here. I've even tried to access my router's Admin settings, but I'm pretty sure it's my computer and not the router that's being the hassle.
What can I do to keep that access to my iTunes available?

Well...your computer has to be on and connected to your home network to share files.
When you close it....your computer assumes that you want to shut things down for a while...so it disconnects from the network and probably powers off the airport card.
Your husband's PC must have a configuration for closing the top and the computer is still active. (NOT ASLEEP)
There might be a setting or patch for keeping your Mac "Awake" when you close the lid, but I think you will have to leave the top open.

Make sure you post this question in another forum, say the G4 notebook forum. This is the forum for DESKTOPS not laptops.

SOLUTION to your HP printer going offline and/or constantly disconnecting from the network

If you are having a problem printing, scanning or faxing with any HP Printer because of it going offline and constantly disconnecting from the network, here is the fix!
I figured this all out after many unsuccessful attempts with HP Support, my Internet Service Provider and various troubleshooting tasks including reinstalling HP software over and over and over. Well, through self teaching on the internet and 6 grueling months of research, I FINALLY figured it out. OMG! I am a Paramedic (not IT) and somewhat computer literate but by far no expert. I here all of you! Nobody seems to have the answer but I am 97% sure that I do. Either way, please reply back and let me know that this did in fact work for you! :-)
It doesn't matter if your printer is installed wirelessly or wired. Don’t worry about reinstalling your software, no recycling your printers’ power or your Router/Modem. The reason your printer is unstable on the network and continues to either go offline or disconnect from the network is NOT because the software is glitched, it’s not a firewall problem per say, it’s not a router problem, there isn’t a problem with your power cord, it’s because most networks use a “range” of IP addresses and for security purposes, it sort of “cycles” the various devices’ IP addresses to decrease the chance of an attack. A printer is no threat but the “network” doesn’t possess human intelligence so it doesn’t know this. Below are my step by step instructions on how to basically make your printer hold its IP address (static IP) instead of changing back and forth through a cycle therefore dropping your printer off the network or disconnecting.
Funny, if you are someone who has had items in your print cue, they won’t print, and you turn your printer off and then back on and suddenly your documents print…well, join my club. The reason this works is because when you first turn on the printer, it starts with the same IP address before it cycles. If you are someone who sits there for a while and suddenly your documents print without you changing anything…this is because through the IP cycle change, it hits your printers IP address and the network will allow it to print. Not very funny, I know. It took me forever to figure out why my printer would print sometimes but not all the time. Since I figured this out, I can SCAN, PRINT and use all of the features of my installed HP software such as HP Solution Center, Photosmart Essentials.
On your printer, go to menu/setup/network and press OK. Inside the network menu, print a "network configuration page" so you can see the IP address and other settings for your printer.
Now, go back to main menu on your printers’ screen. Or you can go to your web browser and type in the IP address using the decimals too and this will take you to your printers’ web page. Choose: setup\network and press OK. Look for IP settings and press OK. Choose "manual" instead of "automatic". Enter the IP address there manually as well as the default gateway which you can see on the network configuration page that you printed earlier. Note: If you manually set the printer's IP, make sure that it is outside of your router's DHCP range. Otherwise you may run into an issue with duplicate IP's on your network. (If you don’t know how to do this, write back and I will explain). Don’t forget to click “save changes”. Now, restart your computer and print anything you want. :-)
A trick I often use with printers in DHCP networks:
In Printers and Faxes right click on the printer and select “properties”. Click add a new port. Choose standard TCP/IP port configured to the printer host name. Read the hostname from the printer's network configuration sheet.
Using my method means that you always connect to the printer even if its IP changes (which may happen with dynamic configuration). This does not jeopardize your network security. It just tells your printer to stay put and stop traveling the IP address highway. :-)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The DHCP range is the range of IP addresses the router hands out automatically as devices join the network. The DHCP range is determined by the router and each brand has a range set at the factory (that can be changed by you).
Your D-link's DHCP default range is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199. So, outside the DHCP range is .2 to .99 and .200 to .254.
Attached is a handy cheat sheet.
You can change this range by entering the router's settings page - type the router's IP address into a browser, enter the login info and navigate to the DHCP settings area (varies based on router, hunt around).

WRT610N Wired Network Instability

Every day I have to power cycle my router at least once.
I keep seeing frequent disconnects from my network both wired and wireless. What really doesn't make sense is that sometimes I lose connection from my network, but still I'm downloading from the internet.
Network Magic pops up saying I have lost connection from my network, and then 30 seconds later it pops saying it's connected again. This cycle happens at least 10 times per day, that I've noticed.
Is there a setting I can change that might make my connections more stable?

On your Router setup page change the MTU size to 1350 and click on Save Settings.... Then click on the wireless tab and below change the Wireless Channel to 11 and let the wireless ssid broadcast should be enable and click on Save Settings.... Then clik on the advance wireless settings and below change the Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
If still the same problem then you can try to update the firmware on your Router. Once the firmware on your router is updated then you need to reset your router and re-configure all the settings on your router from scratch.

How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
4.       Select Network Setup.
5.       Select Wireless setup.
6.       Select Scan
7.       Select your network
8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
10.   Select Enter.
11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
security key.
12.   Press the right arrow.
13.   Select Auto.
14.   Press the right arrow.
15.   Select Save and connect.
These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

Hajenius wrote:
Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

MBP takes long time to restore wired network connection after wake-up

Hello...
My Mid-2010 MBP (MacBookPro6,2) has been experiencing this problem recently -- Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, it needs approximately 10 seconds to restore its wired network connection. I know there are other annoying connection issues with MBP's WiFi/AirPort out there, but I'm talking about the wired connection here.
Maybe some don't even think this slowness is a problem at all, but this laptop used to be network-ready right after wake-up until 3~4 months ago. That was around the time when I upgraded to SSD and changed some settings via pmset, not sure if that's the culprit. It is now running OS X 10.8.5 and its pmset settings are:
Battery Power:
lidwake              1
ttyskeepawake        1

Hi All,
I've seen this problem multiple times, especially with Windows 7 64-bit versions and Enterprise edition. The source of the problem appears to be the Bonjour service that is installed in the background and set to "Automatic" when installing certain 3rd
party applications. Apple applications like iTunes and Adobe applications like Acrobat Professional and Creative Suites have been known to cause this problem. I've also seen virtualization software like VMWare and VirtualBox cause similar issues
with network adapters.
The solution in most of the cases I've come across has been to stop and disable the Bonjour service. The Bonjour service also masquerades as a service with a name of the format "##Id_String1.6844F930_blahblahblah". Here's how to disable this service
in Windows 7:
Right-Click on Computer > Select 'Manage'
Expand the 'Services and Applications' section in the bottom of the Left-Nav dialog and Select 'Services'
Sort the Services list by name and look for either "Bonjour" or the "##Id_String..." name mentioned above
Right-Click on the service and select 'Properties'
Click the 'Stop' button to stop the service
Select 'Disabled' from the 'Startup type' drop down list
Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'
Reboot your machine and see if the "Multiple Networks" issue is resolved. If so, you should have internet connectivity again.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Aaron

Internet disconnects when trying to connect a vpn on a different user account on the same computer

Im trying to have one user account with my real ip address and another user account on windows 8 with a vpn connection. Everytime i switch (i dont logout i just lock the user) then try to connect a vpn on the other user account the internet disconnects
on the other user account. It's like it wants to change my entire internet connection to use the vpn instead of having a seperate connection on each user account. is there a way around this or am i stuck having to use two laptops? I also unchecked
Use default gateway on remote network on the vpn.

Hi,
Try to temporary disable firewall to see if the same issue occurs.

Airport Extreme wired network can't assign IP address, but wireless works

*Problem details:*
We have three computers intermittently on, wired into the ethernet LAN managed by the Airport Extreme.
We have a few more computers that connect to the wireless network managed by the same Airport Extreme.
As far as I know, no fancy settings hijinks have been attempted. I manage the router, and I only plugged the Airport into the cable modem and connected all the wires to the computers. The WiFi setup went a similar way -- I just turned it on and it sorted itself out. This was eight months ago, mind you -- everything has been going quite well up until this weekend.
But! I got home from a trip this weekend to discover that all the machines that connected over the wired network could no longer get a connection to the internet. Any machine connected over the wireless network, however, was working just fine. Indeed, my macbook pros couldn't even see the Airport Extreme when I turned off their WiFi, connected them over Ethernet and opened the Airport Extreme configuration app!
The wired machines complain that they have a self-assigned IP address. Sometimes, after resetting everything, they look like everything's fine for a moment. Like I said, ordinarily my macbook pro does not even recognize the router over the wired network. However, after reverting to factory defaults and restarting the Airport, the laptop did see it (until a few minutes went by and it realized something was wrong).
I figured that renewing my DHCP lease would fix this problem, but it did not. Nor did turning off Passive FTP Mode (PASV) under Proxies in the Network configuration pane.
I have tried resetting the router to factory defaults, power cycling the modem and router in various configurations, etc. but nothing has worked. In addition, I have verified that connecting any machine to the ethernet directly from the modem will work, so the problem is definitely being introduced by the Airport Extreme.
So I guess my question is: what do I have to poke to return everything to normal? I'd like working wired and wireless networks again.
*Some last few details:*
The Airport is running 7.5.2, but downgrading to 7.4.2 produced no tangible difference.
I have an Ubee D3.0 modem. All lights are green and blinky except the DS light, which is solid amber (and it is green when the modem is wired directly to one of my computers -- it's only amber when connected to the Airport).
Some of the machines that can't connect to the wired network are PCs, so it's not just an OSX thing.
My roommate's XBOX 360 can connect to the internet over the wired port. It doesn't have WiFi, so I'm pretty sure there's no way it could be fooling me.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can muster.
EDIT FOR APOLOGIES:
I didn't realize I was posting this in the "Airport for Windows" section. While a Windows computer's connection is a concern, I would much rather get my Macs online and deal with that first. I can't figure out how to move the message myself.

*An update:*
Several days later, this issue seems to have fixed itself. I suspect there may have been Funny Business on my ISP's end (but then again, it's an ISP).

Wired Network conputer cannot find host printer

I cannot print to host printer on a home wired network.
Printer is HP Photosmart 7520 e all in one.
Host Compter is a Dell Dimension 8100
Pentium 4 1.3 GHz 2.0 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3 host computer.
Netgear N600 Dual Band Router
Model WNDR3400
Network Computer:
Nobilis
Pentium 4 dual core 2.8 GHz
2.5 GB RAM
Linux Mint 17 OS
Both computers share the internet without any problems. The Dell computer prints without any problems. The Dell computer properties 'share this printer' box is checked. I cannot find any IP address for the printer. When I printed out the printer configuration sheet, no IP address was given. When I go to the Control Center->Printers->local-host on the Linux OS, it says it is 'connected to local-host' and 'There are no pinters configured yet'. I then selected 'Add' to add a printer. A 'New Printer' screen comes up and ask to 'Select Device' and also 'Enter URI'. This is where I am stopped in my tracks since I have no 'URI'. Under the 'select device' side there are several options: LPT #1, Serial Port #1, Enter URI, and 'Network Printer'. If Network Printer is selected a dropdown list appears: The main heading is "Find Network Printer'. Selecting 'Find Network Printer' gives various internet protocols (ipp, ipps, https, ipp14, LPD/LPR Host or Printer, Windows printer via Samba, and APP Socket/HP Direct.
The Dell computer has alway worked fine and without problems (XP OS) on any HP printer.
This is where I am stymied! Can someone help me from here.

Can you see the Windows computers when browsing from GO > Connect to server?

Intermittent wired network connection on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

I've searched the forums and I haven't seen a problem/solution quite like I am experiencing, so I am starting a new thread.
I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 that will only keep an intermittent connection to my router. Lately, it has been more often not than connected. I usually have to disconnect and connect the Ethernet cable to the back of the printer several times before it will show a connection, and then, only for a little while before it drops the connection again. When connected, everything works fine (printing, faxing, scanning).
When the printer is disconnected, the network status has a yield sign with an exclamation point inside. There are no blinking lights on the back where the network cable connects. When it connects (by me plugging and unplugging), the lights start flickering. I've tried several cables including known good ones to rule that possibility out. Cycling the power has no consistent affect. The router is otherwise working fine.
Here are other details that might help:
Model: HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 (N911a)
Firmware: up-to-date
Software drivers: up-to-date
Router: CISCO E3200
Connection: wired network
Static IP address reserved (not connecting with DHCP)
MAC filtering off
Main Computer: Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Wired Connection to the router
Can someone suggest a solution? My best guess is that the network card in the printer is bad, but I am willing to try an easier solution. Thanks.

Hi, are there any other peripherals using the RJ45 ports on the router?
Are you using a static IP address for the 8600?

HP Photosmart Premium c309g Wired Network Issues

I've been struggling with this thing since I installed it a month ago. It prints, usually, but for the most part the performance over the wired network is slooooowwwww. In some cases it may take 5 minutes just for the printer to get itself activated. Other times it won't even print at all until I reboot my desktop (wired into router) and log back into my user account. Then suddenly, the printout will appear. Performance from a wireless laptops is the same.
I figured a wired setup would be simple as I didn't need the wireless setup. The printer is connect directly to my DSL modem/router. I get my wireless to my laptop by Netgear router coming off one of the DSL modem ports. The wireless access point has a static IP. The DSL wired router has DHCP running.
Unless I can find some knowledgeable help in here I think I'll be forced to go back to a USB connection and share it thru my desktop. Something I'd like to avoid if possible. Let me know what information anyone needs and I'll supply it.
One more thing to add because it just happened. After turning the printer off/on it sat there for about 3 minutes. Then suddenly it got some request to print something. However, no client sent it a print request.
Thanks..

PrintDoc,
I have made the following changes based upon your recommendations.
- Removed HP printer and desktop network cable from Actiontec DSL modem/router and plugged them into the Netgear wireless router (WNDR3400) port 2 and 3.
- Ran one network cable from port 1 on the Actiontec to port 1 on the Netgear. Port 1 is NOT the WAN on the Netgear.
- Verified Netgear and Actiontec have the latest firmware (they already did)
Here are the settings for the Actiontec
- DHCP off
- OpenDNS as DNS servers
- LAN IP 192.168.0.1
- Netmask 255.255.255.0
Here are the settings for the Netgear
- DHCP on (range 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254)
- Static IP 192.168.111.2
- Netmask 255.255.255.0
- Gateway IP 192.168.111.1
- LAN IP 192.168.0.100
- Netmask 255.255.255.0
- OpenDNS as DNS servers
Here are the settings for the HP printer
- Name: OldGlory
- DHCP on
- OpenDNS as DNS servers
I can connect my 2 laptops, smartphone, Internet radio, and Internet connectible TV with no problems on the wireless signal. The desktop and the printer have no problems connecting either. After I configured it all last nite I did have it all working properly (so it seemed).
So the desktop and the printer sat on overnite and I attempted to print something this morning from a Stamps.com application I have installed on the desktop. The print was sent and I did notice it in the printer icon in the taskbar start up. However, when I opened that icon up to check the status, there was no port called out. As a result nothing was printed. Funny because a port is defined in the printer properties Port tab in Windows.
I logged off and then logged back in and still no print. I then rebooted the desktop and then upon login, the print came out of the printer. This is the typical behavior when things have sat over nite. I checked the printer configuration and I have energy saving mode turned off.
Does this help diagnose?
Please advise...Thanks...

Setting up wifi for ipad with an existing hard wired network

Greets all.
Got my aged mother in law an ipad so her bad eyes could read ebooks. Only way she can download new books is with a wifi connection. Trouble is, at her house My aged father in law had a hard wired dsl connection to the internet with Windows PCs. Can I install a wifi network in her house and still leave the existing hard wired network (all commputers connected via cat5) intact? I only need the wifi connection for the ipad. That said; what do I need to make this happen besides a wireless router. Ive heard the Airport Extreme gets good reviews. I only have pc experience and have a linksys router at my own house for my wifi network. So please...can the wifi ipad connection and hard wired dsl connection peacefully coexist and if so how do I go about setting it up? Thanks much!

Thank you! Thank you! Awesome! I've been trying to find an explanation for this is laymen's terms (I'm new to Mac and wi-fi networks) and this answered my question exactly. I have an iMac I want to keep its wired connection, and the iPad to run off wi-fi. Sounds like the Airport Extreme is the way to go, but I only say that because it's an Apple product.
What would be the advantage/disadvantage with going with something like DLink or Linksys? Or as long as I buy something with the 10/100 802.11b/g support, should I be okay.
Thanks again!

WiFi Network and Wired Network

In your opinion, what would be the best configuration of a combination WiFi and wired network. Here's the situation. In my apartment, my living room is very close to my office, WiFi converage is good from the LR to the office where I have my servers and internet connection etc. But in order to provide stellar performance, I wanted to add an Access Point or Airport Express in the LR to make the signal that much better.
In this situation, would you have the Internet Modem, Time Capsule, in the office and the Airport Express in the LR? I'm assuming that would provide the best wireless coverage for the entire apartment. My only concern is the speed accessing the Time Capsule as well as the 1TB NAS as well as SAN File Storage connected to the core switch I have in my office, which is a Cisco 3750G (10/100/1000) over WiFi. I think this would be the best solution. Thanks.

But how is the AP linked back to the office.. if you are wireless repeating.. then you lose whatever you gain.. and probably worse than lose.. you introduce double hop wireless.. This is only going to work if you have ethernet link.. and then Express should be replaced by Extreme.. as Express still uses 10/100 port. Decent wireless should saturate that. (Seldom does.. but if you are doing calcuations I am sure you can see the problem).
Do you get decent 5ghz in the LR?? The key to fast wireless is using 5ghz especially in apartment complex where you are probably surrounded by 2.4ghz wireless.
If the current equipment does not allow you decent 5ghz connection.. strongly suggest you run a single ethernet between the office and the LR and use that.. with Extreme or better AP..
If you want to start wireless bridging at 5ghz.. look at ubiquiti stuff.. it is head and shoulders above domestic standard equipment for not too big a premium.
