Samba timeout when trying to connect to a computer in a workgroup

Hello, seems like the best section to post this in...
Right after I installed my Archlinux setup, I spent a bunch of time trying to get samba running perfectly, mainly, it was just so that other (window$) computers could access mine. Upon getting it working perfectly, both ways, I didn't use it for a while (which is typically the case).
So today, I need to transfer lots and lots of data, but via Dolphin, browsing the workgroup (which I clicked), lists all the computers that are there, including my own (this).
That's good so far, but after I browse to one of those computers (even my own!!), shortly thereafter, I receive a timeout error.
I have tried restarting the samba daemon, netfs, I also tried stopping network manager, and starting the network daemon myself, hoping it was network manager's brokenness that was the problem. Nope.
Still left in this situation...and nothing that I can remember, has changed since the last time, I didn't screw with config files or anything. Although, I do think I changed routers between this time, I also remember seeing some updates for samba-related packages.
All out of ideas, I posted here.
I can post my smb.conf file..or anything else for that matter, if you want. I just want this problem to be solved, and currently am forced to boot into window$ to transfer lots of data. Naturally, I can't do anything during this time, when not in linux....and it kills me a little bit more each time I have to see it
EDIT: Also note that, I tried using the default config, but I still get timeouts(and restarting samba daemon of course). With 'smbtree', it lists all of the shares available on the workgroup also. I also use the gamin program, as opposed to FAM. Originally, I followed the wiki, and that was how I get it working in the first place, but no longer does it work correctly. The logs in /var/log/samba/ do not show anything interesting, and in fact, only show about 1-2 lines, just saying that it started..
I also had it say about a firewall possibly being in use, but on a reload/retry, it returns to a timeout error. I do not have any firewalls that I am aware of, on.
Update: Well I figured out if I run the following command: smbclient '\\NAS\Data' that I will then be taken to a prompt where I can do ls, cd, etc, and browse that share perfectly. What's going on here? Dolphin still times out on it and I would prefer to use a GUI for this..

Well I decided to try to use 'smb4k', which I just recently found, it also sees all of the computers on my network, but it also sees their shares after I browse into it. Unfortunately, it fails to mount any of them...
"mount error: could not resolve address for NAS: Name or service not known
No ip address specified and hostname not found"
That is the message I receive after clicking (mounting) on one of the shares of the 'NAS' computer, the one on my network.
Perhaps this error will make things a bit more clear?
I've been even looking at the docs at samba.org, trying to debug this issue...
UPDATE: Seem to have limited the problem down, at least now I can mount a share on a computer but *only* if I specify the IP address manually.
So it appears that it cannot resolve the name of said computer/share, to an IP... what could be causing this, and how can I fix it?

WRT54GC setup timeout when trying to connection to internet

hi there,
I've just bought the WRT54GC v2.0 and I haven't yet been able to connect to the internet with it.
I used the Setup CD (well, there's not much choice actually) and after I have finished making all the connections asked there is a progress window that says "Checking Internet Connection" that eventually times-out and I get a popup message saying "Unable to detect internet connection". (During the process the lights on the modem flicker quite a bit, but alas...)
My internet connection works fine when I connect directly to the modem so I don't know why the WRT54GC can't connect.
Some Info:
OS: Windows XP
Modem: Netopia (Cayman 3300 Series)
Modem IP: 192.168.1.1
My Dynamically Assigned IP: 192.168.1.41 (when connected directly to the modem)
I have tried all sorts of things: (not necessarily in that order)
- Changing the WRT54GC's IP to 192.168.1.2
- Playing in the "Advanced" page
- Reseting the factory settings
- Turning off everything and turning each device on in order (modem, WRT54GC, computer) with 3 minutes between each turn-on (no pun intended)
Can anyone help? please?
newbie

Change the local IP of your WRT54GC router to 192.168.3.1 or 10.10.10.1 to avoid IP address conflicts from Netopia modem. It will not work if you had only changed the last octet of the router because it will still be within the range of the Netopia modem.

Strange message when trying to connect to another computer via SMB

Hello,
I sucessfully set up a MAC/VISTA network and used it for the past days. I connected through CMD+K smb//:<my_ip>
But now I get everytime the following message when doing that:
_*"Connection failed" - This data server is already active on your computer. Please access the files and volumes locally.*_
(This is my translation of the german message, so it might not be the correct translation)
Anyway, I can't find the share in Finder, it is not there anymore. What does this message means, I'm confused??

open up your terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
Type in the following:
cd /Volumes <enter>
ls -al <enter>
Now see if the name of your Vista PC is in the list. If it is, unmount them (there may be multiple instances)
umount <Name of Volume> <enter>
You may have to use the "force" flag, like so:
umount -f <Name of Volume> <enter>
You'll have to be root to do that.

I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

Connection timeout error trying to connect to wireless network

Going nuts...
I have my Time Capsule plugged into an outlet that runs back to my switch (Netgear) which in turn goes into my modem (AT&T uverse).
(the switch runs out to about 6 ethernet outlets in my house)
Everything was working grand until I screwed something up, no idea what, of course!
I have set my Time Capsule set up...
In the AirPort Utility
AirPort tab
Wireless mode:create a wireless network
Connect using: Ethernet
Internet tab
Connect using: Ethernet
Connection sharing: Off (Bridge mode)
From these settings I can see the wireless network I have set up, but I can't connect to it (get a 'connection timeout' error when trying to connect to the wireless network using my laptop)
When I try to change to Conenction Sharing to: 'share a public IP address' or 'distribute a range of IP address', then I get other errors... (DHCP Beginning and DHCP Ending Address Errors).
Any advice would be great - thanks!

Bridge Mode is the correct setting for your Time Capsule.
To aid in troubleshooting, I suggest that you temporarily move the Time Capsule close to the Uverse router and connect directly to one of the Ethernet ports on that device. Test to see if your wireless is working.
If yes, then move the Time Capsule again and this time temporarily connect to the Ethernet switch to test that way.
Keep working your way outward, testing as you go. If the wireless works on the first test when you connect directly to the Uverse router, at some point, you will find the connection problem. It's almost always something simple, like an Ethernet cable that is not making a good connection with one of the Ethernet ports.

I get error message 42032 when trying to connect an iPhone to iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it?

I get error message 42032 when trying to connect an iPhone to iTunes. Any ideas how to fix it?

Did you already try these suggestions?
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

My ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges

my ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges

yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have any drivers
its driving me round the bend at the minute

When trying to connect to iTunes I get this message
An internal error occurred during: "FindSonarTrackJob".
java.lang.NullPointerException

I too am having this problem and have had, for about a week now.
I've found that by logging off itunes (if I can), closing it down, and then restarting it, sometimes allows it to work for one transaction (say downloading an updated app). After that it's back to the same error.
Really annoying.

Error message WMC604 in VZAM when trying to connect to 4G using Novatel USB551L.

VZAM recognizes the modem, and attempts to connect to 4G. After about 10 seconds, a message appears,"Error WMC604, Device could not establish a connection". (I have no problem connecting to 3G, just 4G)
One clue: If I have "Control Panel>Network Connections>Novotel 551L open when I try to connect, I can watch (if I am connecting to 3G) the modem aquire an IP address and connect. If I am connecting to 4G, there is no such activity shown on Control Panel>Network Connections>Novatel 551L modem. It just does nothing until the error message appears in VZAM. It's as if VZAM is not communicating with the modem although during this time VZAM displays a message "connecting".
I have created a dial-up connection in Windows 7 according to the Verizon knowledge base article ID=29355 just so I could use 4G, and the modem connects and works just fine. I just wish I get it to connect to 4G using VZAM.
I am using VZAM version v7.6.3.1(2642f) and one of the things that VZ tech support suggested was replace the SIM card, but that didn't make any difference. I am using Dell XPS 8300 desktop running Win 7 Home Premium,SP1 currently, although problem is the same on my Dell 5160 laptop running Win XP, SP3.
Hoping someone here on this board can help. I have spent hours on the phone with Verizon tech support and they say they have never heard of this error, and have no clue how to make it go away. In checking Google, I see that it is in fact a fairly common error in VZAM, but no one seems to know how to fix it......Verizon reps on the board feel free to come to my rescue?
HELP!!!!

AdamE_VZW
Thank you for your reply. I checked Device Manager for conflicts and see none. I opened VZAM and Device Manager>Novatel Modem side-by-side on the screen and attemped to connect to 4G using VZAM while watching Device Manager for conflicts. There were none indicated when the WMC604 error appeared in VZAM. According to Device Manager, my Novatel modem driver is version 1.1.12.0 ; dated 12/8/10. The "update driver" button is grayed out so I don't know how to check for a newer version. This version is the one that came on the VZAM install CD I belive.
Some background about this problem: When I first got this modem and installed the software, it worked as it should. It came up in Global mode and connected to a weak 4G signal that was comming from the Portland OR airport. Because the signal was weak and un-reliable, the modem would constantly shift back to 3G, and then every few minutes back to 4G, over and over. I got tired of putting up with the constant hunting, and, using the diagnostic screen, locked it into EVDO mode until 4G went live in Portland OR in the middle of June. During the time it was in EVDO (3G) mode, I had no problem connecting to 3G using VZAM. When Portland went live, I locked it back to LTE mode, and that was when I discovered the error WMC604 message. This was using my previous computer, a Dell Dimension 4500 desktop, Win XP,SP3, and an external Wilson log-periodic tri-band antenna. Since Portland went live, my current RSSI for 4G runs around -68db, and SINR varies between -9 to -12 db.
I recently got my present computer, a Dell XPS-8300 desktop, Core i7, Win 7 Home Premium, SP1. I did a fresh install of VZAM on this new computer using the CD that came with the USB551L modem and then checked online (using 3G) for VZAM updates. It says I have the latest version. The problem is exactly the same on the new computer as it was on my other 2 computers. That tells me that the problem must lie with the modem firmware or hardware, because the problem follows the modem, no matter what computer it is hooked up to. I even took it back to the Verizon store where I got it and they hooked it up to one of their computers and got the same error message when trying to connect to 4G. 3G worked properly
As I mentioned before, the modem instantly connects to 4G using the Win 7 dial-up connection I created and gives pretty good speeds, about 10MB down and 4-5MB up, according to SpeedCheck.com.
I can use it the way it is, it is just frustrating that it won't work using VZAM.
Thank you for your attention and help,

Blue screen when trying to connect ipod

When trying to connect my ipod to my computer it reboots it into a blue screen that looks something like this...
STOP: 000000007F (0000000008, 0X80154000 etc, etc.)
minidump something something.
I looked in my minidump folder but there was nothing in it. Any suggestions?

Okay.
Let's see if we can get a minidump generated for the crash.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
With those settings in place, does a minidump file get generated for the crash?

I have these two files located in \\jboss\server\lc_oracle_cl\lib

I was told all I needed to do was drop these two files in the directory above and restart JBOSS. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi Jesse,
The driver you are using is for SQLServer Database. Since you are using Oracle as your database, you need an oracle driver.Please copy ojdbc6.jar from the [installDir]/lib/db/oracle/ directory and try again.

Getting error 789 when trying to connect with a PC remotely via VPN

When we set up the VPN we are getting a Error 789 when trying to connect with a PC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The utilities, provided on the CD, are not required for the PC to access the Internet through the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). They are only necessary for administering the base station.
If your PC is currently configured as a DHCP client, it shouldn't have any issues connecting by Ethernet. The AEBSn will assign the appropriate IP addresses required for connectivity to the Internet ... just like it does for wireless clients.
