Satellite Internet Issues

Just so Adobe Help knows what is going on in my part of the "Wonderful Web" I have slow and inconsistent service due to the satellite issues so the only way to download a 700 MB program is off a disk or stick ... so as far as getting the program to load, I will buy a program box ... hopefully there will be a disk. Otherwise I may have to stick it.
regards, Frustrated ...

Peterv57705762 I am sorry you are facing difficulties with the download process. Which Adobe software or service are you attempting to evaluate?

Satellite internet users cannot connect to Flash based online multiplayer games

Hello,
I have found that Satellite internet users are unable to
connect to the game Club Penguin because of the recent security
fixes that have been added to the flash player over the last 6
months or so. Club Penguin used to require at least Flash Player 7
to run, at this time satellite users could connect.
They recently upgraded their system to require Flash player 9
or higher, since this update no satellite users can connect if they
have the newest versions of Flash. If they revert back to the Flash
Player 9r47 they can then connect to the game. Of coarse this opens
the computer up to the exploits that have been fixed.
Anyone have any idea of how to notify Adobe of this issue? Or
possibly another way to make it work with the newest versions of
Flash Player?

Does this problem with your Internet satellite happen only with this game? You might want to contact your Internet provider as I'm sure they will be able to work with Adobe in fixing the problem.

Has anyone else a large amount of bandwidth being used when running the new iOS 7? I have satellite internet with a fixed gigabyte allowance a month.

I am seeing bandwidth spikes when using the new iOS 7. I have satellite internet so I have a monthly gigabyte allowance. When the ipad is in sleep mode or just doing casual browsing it is fine. But for example, last night I put the ipad in airplane mode and this morning when I took it out and it reconnected to my router it immediately sucked up ~300mbs of bandwidth. I know for the majority of people this no big deal but when you are on a fixed amount a month this becomes costly! Is there anyone else noticing this, and what appears to be happening? I never had this problem with ios6.
Thanks!

Mysterious downloading causing satellite internet to go over limit

Sorry for the long post. I have tried a lot of ways to answer my question, or fix my problem.
II have a 3 year old Intel Mac, still working great. Where we live our only high speed option is satellite, so we subscribe to hughesnet. Our downloads are limited to 375 meg per day.
We don't have a real problem staying under, but when it locks ups to 14.4 kbs, we know we have gone over. I eventually installed a few programs to let me know if it was my kids downloading stuff and not telling me, or something else. I installed two download monitoring programs, and Spector for Mac.
In the last month, there have been two incidents where massive downloading caused us to go over the daily limit. Hughesnet has at times locked us out claiming we went over - the download monitors were installed to verify this, and proved otherwise.
However, these last two times, the download monitors verified a download of over 300 meg within the space of an hour, part of the time while I was on the computer.
I have tried every way in the world to discover what the culprit was, what the files were, but I cannot.
I have checked the download records and histories of all three browsers, and these show nothing. Spector verified almost no browser use during the time in question.
I checked Itunes to see if anything, whether music, movies or podcasts had been added during that time frame. Nothing.
I checked the date of files in the download folder, both "created" and "modified". Nothing there.
I check the software updater(This had been a problem in the past). The log of downloaded updates shows no activity there as well.
My e-mail program didn't show any automatic downloads with massive file attachments, either.
It left me scratching my head.
After this happened a few weeks ago, I downloaded a 30-day trial of Intego Internet Security Barrier X6. Virus program, firewall, and a couple of other programs, I updated it and did a virus/trojan scan on my computer, with no results. I was completely clean. The antivirus program really slowed down the Mac, of course, and it got so bad that after a few days i couldn't take any more, so I uninstalled it.
The only options I haven't tried yet are scanning the backup drive( assumed this was scanned at the same time when I scanned the main nard drive, but am not sure) and possible a couple of other partitions. I have Windows XP installed on this computer through bootcamp, but haven't booted up in over 2 months. I also have a second version of windows installed within the mac osx partition through a Virtualbox program. I don't know if a virus could be hiding in there, but I am relatively certain that I installed antivirus protection on it and updated it as well. Even at that, I don't know if a trojan or virus could be play havoc while the program is turned off.
That is what I have done so far, and am out of ideas. Does anyone know of a way I can track down what this was?
If not, does anyone know of a program that could monitor this in the future and alert me to massive unauthorized downloads?
All comments and ideas are appreciated.
Fred

There may be a way to monitor who (else) may have access, presumably
unauthorized and more possible if you have a local wireless aspect to your
home or business network where someone else not so far away could get in.
As both up and down load activities can be monitored, are you able to tell if
some of your usage is due to something in the computers "calling out" online
and them perhaps something else connecting back to your computers? The
app Little Snitch will tell what may be attempting some connections out.
Sometimes, you can tell if another computer is on a local network, unless that
owner or user has somehow set their computer to be invisible to a network it
may be borrowing internet access from.
Do you have any apps that offer an option to provide backups online to some
outside server? Some kinds of products can offer web-dependent services.
Even widgets in DashBoard can consume bandwidth. I have and use a widget
that turns off all widgets until I launch DashBoard. Dash-quit is a handy tool.
{Having dual operating systems in the computers, possibly could be an issue;
but whether or not your configurations are accessing the internet somehow,
is an unknown to me. If the Windows systems can't go online while you aren't
using them, maybe those aren't a probable cause of this; until they actually are.}
Is the network usage statistic based on mbps, kbps or some other set of numbers
where your version may appear different than that of the provider? Some of the
math (like MB vs. GB in drive capacities; comparing grapes and bananas) can be
harder to follow if one entity derives their quota from a different connection math.
Almost as bad in a few cases, as the cited hard disk drive capacities, when there
may be two different kinds of numbers!
I've only used dialup, ADSL, and some low-end cable internet. Had dish TV but
at the time, they offered nothing for internet; except weather outages of all signal.
If you have nothing checking for automatic updates, including apps that may offer it;
and have the firewall set to not allow some invasive efforts of outside connections
to try and hook up to your network, and no body accessing your satellite internet via
a wireless component whose security is not what it should be; I am not so sure what
kind of other thing you'd need to be looking into at this point. Apparently something.
Good luck & happy computing!

Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up. satellite Internet connection

Win XP. Firefox 34.0.5 (latest)
The Flash Player download keeps failing with lost connection and then gives up.I am on a satellite Internet connection.
It seems to be extremely slow even when loading the installer which is only 1MB. Then when I run the installer and it starts to download the installation there are frequent messages about losing the connection and then finally gives up.
I have had problems with other software failing when I am on a satellite link. This is most likely because of the huge latency which may be taken as a link failure. Ping times are typically 800ms but can be 2000ms sometimes!

Hello,
The online shim installer, which you are using actually downloads and installs Flash Player silently in the background. If your satelite connection is experiencing latency issues it could result in the failure to download. Please try the full installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section.

10.3.9 Internet issues

Hi All
i have been trawling through the fourms and still cannot find a solution to my iMac internet issues. I have done a complete format and reinstall of Mac OS X 10.3.9 (to be fair i downloaded update on another computer and instelled via USB stick) everything works great can import into firewire from camcorder etc. Airport card can see the wireless connection but when i enter the password it states there is a problem and connot connect. I have tried everying (to what i can understand anyway) and teh main reason for a clean install was to get rid of any possible conflicts that may have been there.
everything else can use the internet including my MacBook (intel) fine. Some one did suggest once that DNS settings were not correct which to be honest i did not userstand how to alter them, plus if eberying else was ok why just this iMac playing up.
Please can you assist just want to this to connect so my son can upload his filming to pleople for his re school assignments.
thank you in advance
Peter

Oops!
Could you specify what iMac you have, the specs of the system & computer,
as that may help research or find workable ideas for you to try. This would
help in troubleshooting, or in discovering Support articles to link you to in
the course of a discussion.
I just re-read your post and had thought it was for a later
mac + OS X that would not run in PowerPC vintage!
(The mention of MacBook threw me off, as did a recent newer
OS X upgrade that may run -- in that newer hardware 10.9.3)
So you've upgraded a PowerPC iMacG4 to Leopard 10.3.9
and the internet doesn't work? The wireless router may be
using a different security protcol than the old Airport Card
can support; you may have to test the unit via Ethernet to
be sure the computer itself is fully updated. It may go to
Apple servers to look for Software Updates.
The settings for the wireless security may be incorrect,
since later WPA2, won't apply to vintage AirPort card.
With a later OS X such as Tiger 10.4(.11) the odds do
improve for connectivity to the internet.
The DNS settings should not be an issue if you can use the
internet with a recent version computer and later OS X.
Not sure how to help, except to try as a test, to run without
the security you'd really want with the wi-fi (WPA2, etc)
turned on, to see if the old iMac can then use it.
Another issue would be the lack of correct frequency; a
newer Wi-Fi system may not be set to be backward
compatible to 802.11a/b, newer ones use 802.11/b/g/n/+
You may check to see if the router has a setting to allow
use of lower or older spec connection.

IChat & Direcway Satellite Internet?

Hey all.. My sister (unfortunately) has satellite internet by way of Direcway. We've had very limited success with video & audio connectivity. The system has pretty serious latency between request and result, and I'm wondering if perhaps this would cause the chat requests to fail (we both get the obligatory "did not respond" message). I've had her open up the ports as suggested in a number of posts here, we've knocked our bandwidth limits to their lowest settings as well but to no avail. I have no problem connecting with others from my machines, and I'm on a full T1.
Has anyone used, with success, iChat AV's audio & video features with satellite internet?
thanks in advance,
-greg-

Hi Greg,
I would move in the Other direction.
Set the System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming speed to match her max download.
Set iChat > Preferences > Video section Banwidth Limit to none.
Unfortunately Satelite for this is pants.
Things to try involve trying to beat the latency between starting a chat and full speed of the uplink.
Try a iTune Store sample as a download to fool the system into thinking it is going to run at full tilt.
Also try sending a file from her end first to you to get the uplink speed as high as it cn be before the chat starts.
Or updating her web pages if she has any.

Macbook pro internet issues

my computer has been taken in three times for internet issues. each time they say it is fixed. I have rest my safari several times, all the internal parts have been checked and are said to be in perfect working order, and i have had the entire profile of my computer wiped clean, having to reinstall everything. now it is doing this and will stay on this gray screen for up to a half hour, until the box that says safari has quit working, or the flash player plug in has quit working. Has anyone else had this problem, if so any help would be great, casue I really do not want to take the computer in again only for them to tell me its fine.

Clean Access and satellite internet

We have NAC 4.1.6 enabled for our IPSec VPN client users, and have at least one user coming in from a HughesNet satellite Internet connection. When he connects via HughesNet, the VPN connection works fine but the NAC agent will not run and check his machine. However, when he uses any other type of Internet connection (including a Verizon aircard), NAC works properly.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a fix or workaround? He's running the 4.1.6 Windows agent. Thanks.

Try connecting the console directly to the router which is connected to the internet and check if it works. If it works then you will only have to change the MTU size on the ASA. Another option will be to have the console connect directly to the internet bypassing the CCA.

ITunes and Satellite Internet daily limit don't mix!! Help....

I have satellite internet which has a daily download cap. I can download unlimited mbps from 2AM to 7AM. ITunes music/videos use up a lot of mbps when I buy music. I am looking for a program that I can use that will manage the itunes music downloads during 2am-7am only so that I can still buy music, but don't have to go over my limit. Does anyone know of such a program?? Or any other ideas I could try that would help me to stay within my limits?

Set your iTunes to not "automatically download" your purchases. Then you can engage the downloads during a time that costs less.
Ultimately, it may not be as straight forward, but if you do engage a download, and it's poor timing, you can pause it and resume when ready. This might be annoying if you purchase several items and EACH has to be paused, but it will accomplish what you wish.
Another alternative is this:
Use playlists and "Gift" yourself.
I have done this in the past to accomplish a single-click-buy for multiple random items I want to get in one step.
1) Create a playlist from iTunes store items: Just drag items to a created playlist.
2) GIFT the playlist to yourself.
3) Redeem the playlist of items when downloading is cheap.
I hope something here helps.

IChatAV3 and Satellite Internet

Since I live in the swamps and Bellsouth only has dialup, I have subscribe to WildBlue Satellite Internet. My downlink is 1Mbps and uplink is 200Kbps. The downlink works pretty good but my problem is with the uplink. Various testing indicators say I am really doing about 168 Kbps uplink. And that is about what I really should expect.
The problem is, iChat sees the uplink as less than 50Kbps and therefore you know what that means. I have been through the FAQs and tried to ensure the speeds, ports, firewalls, setups, etc. I have my streaming speed set to my downlink of 1Mbps. The WildBlue technicians tell me that satellite delays is what the problem could be. And also that it is an iChat software problem.
Help!!

Hi LA Sculler,
This is normally down to the latency of the modem.
They are often set so that the data rate is slower when the use is low and it speeds up as you put through or request more data.
iChat requires that the speed is there from the moment you start up iChat as it takes a reading from the Quicktime setting.
It is often difficult if not impossible to fool the modem (such as listening a sample of a iTunes store file) to get the modem to tell iChat that the connection speed is fast enough.

EA3500 and Satellite Internet

I used the CD to set up my new EA3500 with my Wild Blue Satellite internet modem.
An IPhone or IPad can connect and work like a charm, remaining rock solid at all times. Windows 7 on the other hand, will work and then lose connection to the internet. The PC appears to remain connected to the EA3500, but the connection between the EA3500 and modem appear to be lost. I can click on the bar Icon at the bottom and it shows everything to be fine. I click on disconnect and then wait a few seconds and click on connect again and it works for a few minutes before having to do it again.
When I look at the router properties the CD set it up for DHCP.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Larry

Thanks very much for the response.
Yes I am trying to use the laptop wireless and if I can get it to work reliably, will set up another laptop on the wireless. I will take your suggested router settings and see what I can do with them. I have cables to the laptop locations that I have not even tried to connect to the EA3500. Worst case, I may try that if I can't get the wireless to work.
To be clear, when the laptop loses connection in the network diagram it shows the connection broken between the router and modem, while it shows the connection from router to laptop to still be solid.
BTW, I must be using the classic firmware because I have not changed anything.
Thanks again.
Larry

Location Services with satellite internet connection

I have a 5th generation iPod Touch. I connect to internet at home through wifi router connected to satellite internet modem and dish (Hughes). My location services always says that it cannot determine my location. Is this typical of a satellite dish connection?
Thanks

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database does not included your router.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

Incessant Internet Issues

Hi there
It's been a while since I last posted on these forums with an internet issue, but my connection is really messed up. I'll see if I can do the speedtester stuff in between the constant disconnections that I am getting.
My router stats are at the end of this message. Despite the fact my Downstream speed keeps switching between 6Mbps - 7.9Mbps, I am getting around 1.6Mbps, which I expect. The very high number of errors is telling me that my line is really noisy: my parents have told me that the line, when using the phone, was very noisy when calling other people, which would confirm that theory.
I do know that there are some works being done in a plot of land right next to the telephone exchange and I suspect it's BT adding the fibre broadband exchange in preparation of activating fibre in my area by the end of the year, is it possible this is causing line issues ? I know we've also had really bad weather and I'm suspecting this to be a factor in my connection issues.
Many thanks for any help I can get.
