Screwed up Network Connection

I have a fan issue that I am dealing with in another thread. But after cleaning it out the dust and re-set the PMU. I had no network connection when I booted up.
When I booted into Leopard (primary internal drive), I could not even connect directly to the cable modem or router directly. I had to boot to the second drive with Tiger (secondary internal drive). The internet connection was fine there. I rebooted back to Leopard and my connections were back to normal.
The drive with Tiger was my primary start up drive for a while before I had the second drive with Leopard. I also noticed that the Leopard Install CD does not appear on the desktop under Leopard. It does appear when I boot under Tiger.
Is Tiger having some kind of control of Leopard in my set up? I use to have Open Firmware password activated under Tiger. How do I know if it is disabled? It won't launch under Tiger anymore.
I insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Kernel Panics during system boot, and no kind of network connectivity

I've tried quite a lot of things here, so please read them all before you suggest something - and thanks for taking a look at my question (-:
I recently got my Mac Pro back from the AlaskaMacStore (not an actual apple retail store, and they aren't very good at that), having brought it in for loss of FW800. They sent it to Apple, and I received it back, supposedly with a new motherboard - and my FW800 working. However, it proceeded to kernel panic (complete visual system freeze, not greyscreenofdeath - oddly enough, iTunes would never stop playing during them) at least once a day after that.
Not wanting to deal with them again, I just used it like that and put up with it - but soon enough, I lost any sort of network connectivity as well. With AirPort connected to my Time Capsule's network (which worked fine on my Macbook Air and iPhone and various other devices), I was being told "...Self-Assigned IP address, and thus may not be able to connect to the internet...". Even connected directly via Ethernet to the Time Capsule, or directly via Ethernet to the cable modem, or directly via Ethernet to another Mac, or connected to another Mac's ad-hoc network, I could get absolutely no network communication going on of any sort.
This was too much for me, as all of my work requires frequent and heavy internet access, so I gave in and took it back to the local mac store equivalent - they charged me 100$, and kept it two days, just to tell me they 'couldn't reproduce the problem'. I took the Mac Pro to a friend's house, and went through the same tests - connected to his modem, with his Ethernet cords, and to his wireless and other macs. Same deal, no connection or indication of a networking being connected beyond that blasted 'self-assigned IP' in Network prefs.
Having no desire to be defrauded by the local fools again, I decided I didn't really have anything important on my internal hard drive, and decided to wipe the internals and re-install Leopard. My horrible luck continuing, I found my only Leopard disc to be cracked, prompting me to drive out and purchase a new one. Inserting this into my Mac Pro's drive, I found myself faced with yet another horrible problem.
During the boot to the Leopard DVD, the grey loading screen (with the apple logo and the spinner) simply froze with the spinner pointing left. I left it for a while, expecting this to be part of what I'd previously experienced with the slow boot-from-DVD on a Macintosh... but after 30 minutes of waiting, I got quite worried, and booted back into my normal OS by holding down Option and selecting my RAID.
Now, note this for later - it booted absolutely fine, and though I still had no network connectivity, the system had no problems. I changed the startup-disk to my RAID and then back to the Leopard DVD, naïvely thinking this would solve the problem, and ran into the same problem after restarting and booting to the Leopard DVD again.
Dismissing this as a optical drive problem (haven't had occasion to use optical media in nearly 3 years, don't really trust it in general), I booted the Mac Pro into Firewire Target Disk mode, and connected it to my Macbook Pro, and then booted the Macbook Pro from the installation DVD. Again, note carefully here - there was nothing wrong with the DVD itself, as the Macbook Pro had no trouble booting to the DVD.
I used Disk Utility to preform some planned modifications to the internal drives of my Mac Pro (erasing my previous inefficient RAID setup in favor of a new, faster (but less secure) RAID0 striped setup for my main two 1TB drives), and then proceeded to install a fresh Leopard onto the newly minted RAID. I usually cancel the 'disc checksum' that the Leopard DVD runs on itself, not really worrying about it, but in light of recent possible problems with the DVD, I went ahead and let it run - no problems, it completed and went straight into the normal install.
The install itself completed in a timely manner, and my Macbook Pro re-booted automatically, to the newly Leopard-ed RAIDed internals on the Mac Pro. It booted to the new install without a hitch, played the Leopard intro video, and continued to the setup cube. I opted to shut down (by hitting command-q and selecting the shut down option), so I could set it up on the Mac Pro instead.
Surprised was I, when I experienced the same grey loading screen freeze on the Mac Pro, booting to the newly clean install on the new RAID, that I had seen trying to boot to the Leopard disc. Worrying that my Leopard disc was, infact, corrupted in some way, I tried placing the Macbook Pro into firewire Target Disc Mode, and booting that drive over FW800 on the Mac Pro. Same freezing problem occurred.
Well, now, the only installation that HADN'T kernel panicked on boot was the old install, and that had been erased for the new RAID configuration, so I was left without a way to boot to a working install and test things from the Term. This left me with Single User Mode, which I immediately booted into.
Interestingly enough, there was no problem booting into Single User Mode - so I poked around a bit before mounting, and I had seemingly fine access to the entire filesystem of the new Leopard install, and nothing looked screwed up to my (albiet untrained) eye. After mounting and continuing the boot, it froze - but since this was verbose SUM, and not simple normal boot, I was able to see exactly where it froze: something about 'mDNSResponder starting', and then no input or output was accepted, leaving me assuming it had kernel panicked again.
To test this, I again attempted to boot from the Leopard DVD on the Mac Pro, this time in verbose startup mode, and watched it freeze up at exactly the same point. After a little googling, I found some suggestions to disable the launchd plist for mDNSResponder - I tried SUM again, and did so, then continued with the boot. This time, there was no output relating to mDNSResponder, so the launchd change had worked; however, it still froze - this time, right after three lines, first something along the lines of 'Login Window Application Starting', and then two lines printing Ethernet IDs of some sort. After those Ethernet related lines, it again froze.
What with the DNS and Ethernet bits showing up in the freezing, I was getting worried this was still tied into my NIC in some way, so I unplugged my Ethernet cords and tried the exact same boot again, and again disabled mDNSResponder. This time the only sensible thing before the freeze was the 'Login Window Application Starting' line, which seemed perfectly normal. I doubt there is/was anything wrong with that, so I'm assuming there's still some networking-related process freezing/panicking the computer, and it just doesn't happen to log in a visible way during startup.
Does anybody have any suggestion as to what such a process might be, and how I can at least pause or kill it from SUM, so I can at least finish booting the computer?
If I can't figure out a solution to this, I'll have to buy a new Mac Pro tomorrow morning... I have very, very pressing matters that can't wait for a new Mac Pro to ship, nor can they wait for me to ship this one to Apple and back (I live in Alaska, we have at least a weeks wait if nothing is seriously wrong when sending an Apple product in for repairs on our own), and nor can I wait 2 days for the local Apple store to tell me there's nothing wrong with it and then have to wait another week to, again, send it to Apple myself. I don't want to have to shell out for a new, expensive computer when there's a (most likely) perfectly good one sitting here... so any help would be MUCH appreciated.
If you've read this far, phew, you deserve a cookie. That was one... long... post.
(If you care, this post was cross-posted to my blog, at http://blog.elliottcable.name/posts/macpro_epicfail.xhtml)

Talk about bad luck.
The point at which the system "freezes" with the gray spinner (and just after the login window app starts) is right about the point the accelerated drivers should kick in for the video card.
So a couple things could be going on.
1) bad video card dragging down the bus
2) The system board is fubar - this I think is likely - issues with onboard ethernet, and whats seems to be video card related.
I would hazard to guess that the PCI-express bus has something wrong with it, ethernet and video live on the bus, SATA, and USB live in the southbridge.
So, looks like a trip to a certified apple dealer/repair center is next for your Mac Pro - probably for a new system board, again?
Something tells me that your system really didn't get to Apple for a new board.
You can verify by looking at the serial ID tag on the system board, note the rev and serial # before and after such repairs.

Can't detect Network Connection?

I'm using a wireless connection at the library, and as long as I connect through Firefox it works fine (Safari gets picky about it), but I have trouble with both Mail and iChat AV. Neither can detect the connection at all. I ran connection doctor, and it just told me I have no network connection. I pinged the servers through Network Utility and it worked perfectly.
Any tips or tricks to get this running? Did Bill screw up our wireless? Do Linksys WAP54G not work with Mail and iChat?
At least my browsers work, but it would be nice to use some other programs...

Hi Emi,
You would like to thinks so.
Go to System Preferences.
Then Network.
Choose the connection method from the second drop down.
Choose the TCP/IP tab
Does this read "Using DHCP" ?
What is the IP below that for your computer ?
Further down what is the "router" IP ?
Also make and model is your modem ?
If the Linksys is the "router" as shown in the IP above then it should be shown as 192.168.1.254
If you see this IP type it into a web browser.
(just the Numbers not www or http bits)
After you hit enter you should get a pop up asking for User ID and password. If the WAP54G is still in default settings then these should both be admin in lower case.
Can you tell us what the connection method says at the top of the Setup page please ?

Keeps asking to accept incoming network connections for iTunes

Why does OS X keep asking if I want the new iTunes to accept incoming network connections on every iTunes launch?
1. It appears in the firewall, and is green lighted to accept incoming network connections.
2. I have the checkbox to automatically allow signed software to accept connections.
3. I have repaired permissions.
4. I have re-downloaded and reinstalled the application.
5. I am running the latest version of OS X with all updates installed.
This should not be happening.

I constanstly get the exact same nag message about allowing incomming connections, plus now iTunes just pops up all by itself, and I simply do not ever let anyone inside my firewall, period, including Apple, so they can spy on my info or software. The snooping scanel of the last couple of days has only underlined my decisions.
I have denied them access in security/advanced. I have turned off connect to apple for for song info. No Ping.
I do however run DLNA across my wifi network using BubbleUp client so I can access my iTunes library via TiVo throughout the house, and have for the last year with no issues.
(During this message, itunes has launched, nagged and started playing music all by itself 3 times!)
I tried a terminal command from another thread http://nerdramblings.tumblr.com/post/5637291886/fix-apple-firewall-asking-for-pe rmissions, which should have given me

I have version of itunes 11.0.2 running in Snow Lep 10.6.8. and I run my iMac via wifi rather then ethernet, and have for 3 years. This is all new in the last 3 weeks. I'm happy with the version I have, with no interest in uninstall/reinstall or screwing around with the newest versions, which I really hate.
I'm ok poking around in Terminal if that's the answer. otherwise, I'm off to WinAmp or DoubleTwist, though I'm open to other suggestions as well.
Please excuse my angry tone, but I've had nothing but problems with this machine since I bought it, it's been to the shop once and reformmatted from scratch twice, and regard it as the second worst decision of my life. The worst one was my first marriage

Can't make purchases, network connection was reset??

I have no idea how to fix this one. Everything was fine.... I went to download a song and I got the message that my network connection was reset and it coudn't complete my request. I restarted the program... no such luck. Anyone know what's going on?? Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me out!!

Yes, I was able to Download music last night now today it's telling
me to check my network connection and try again....sigh, my
connection is fine...98880/2577 Connection speed and all other
programs working fine that are internet related.
Apple has done something in that last update that screwed up the
download...I seen there was an update just before I went to bed,
I download it, rebooted and went to bed...Today I cannot download
anything at all from iTunes...All of my Apple software is up-to-date.
Good work Apple

ITunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection...

I was messing around with services and startup items a few days ago to try to get other software to work...I think I might have screwed up iTunes. I can't connect to the store anymore. I get the following error.
*iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection timed out.*
*Make sure your settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again.*
Obviously, my network is working since I'm able to do this, play Warcraft and all sorts of other things. iTunes is the only thing having a problem. I made sure that Bonjure was enabled, but I don't know what other services/startup items iTunes needs. Here's my diagnostic

No network connection after switching devices? Please Help!

So yesterday I switched my Droid Eris to a used but in good condition Droid X on-line (using the activate/switch device). I can make calls and text on my "new" phone, but I can't access the Market to download apps or go on the web browser. It says that I have no Network connection. I went ahead and turned on my "old" phone (Eris) and even though I cannot make calls or texts, I can STILL access Facebook, Market etc....
What is the problem?

Yes, I'm sorry I didn't mention. I programmed the phone by calling *228 and selecting option 1. After no luck with internet access on my "new" phone I went ahead and turned both off overnight. Still no luck.
Any other suggestions.
The other phone should not function so there is something screwed up with the switch over. Call *611 and have customer service look into the problem. 800-922-0204 is the land line number for Verizon.
My guess is the data plan has to be switched over to the replacement device in order to use the net and Google Play Store.

Could not purchase "Mr. Hurricane". The network connection was reset.

Anybody else getting "network connection was reset" when trying to get the free USA single of the week?
My 8.01 network diagnostics say everything's OK. I get the same message when trying to look at my account.

Yea, I'm getting an error also, although it's a different one (-4 I think is the number) and it screws my whole OS up and I have to reboot. I can't get any of the other free titles or redeem Starbucks free singles. They must be having some server issues. Usually clears up later in the day when I have problems like this.

Win7 Home Premium - systray Wireless network connection icon?

Hi,
My home wireless connection is running fine and I do not have my Ethernet cable plugged in.
In the systray part of the taskbar, there used to show a Wireless network connection icon - a little graphic icon that looked like 5 vertical bars side-by-side, with bars increasing in height, left to right. That icon is no longer in the systray and
it appears to have been replaced by the "wired" icon - a little square with a tiny picture of a plugger on its left side. And since I don't have my Ethernet cable plugged in, there's a little red "x" on the wired icon. I don't
know what I did to cause the wired icon to replace the Wireless network connection icon in the systray. Any idea how I screwed this up and how to put things back again?

Hi cwr64,
It might be caused by netsh command using. Please try following methods
Method1: Uninstall all “6to4 Afapter” and “isatap” device in device manager.
Right click this computer->Properties->Device manager->View->show hidden devices
Right click and uninstall all “6TO4 Adapter” and “isatap” devices in
Network adapters.
Method 2
Please try to uninstall all your network adapter driver and reinstall them again. Then restart your computer check if the icon comes back. It might be caused by netsh command using.
Note: backup or download your adapter driver before removing the drivers from device manager.
Regards

Hi, I am trying to update an iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0.4, and every time I try to update it comes up with an error message saying that there was a problem because the network connection was reset. Is there any way I can get past this and update?

The full message said:
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Jody..jone5
Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..
Goodluck

ITunes 10.0.1 "the network connection could not be made"

This was not a problem for me on 10.0. I can no longer update my podcasts because I get this error message
"There was a problem downloading (podcast name) the network connection could not be made"
so first I ran diagnostics for the network connection and it said that it could not make a secure connection to the itunes store. I clicked help and it said to add a rule to the windows firewall (even though one already existed), I did that and now its green but I still get the same error message. Here is the information from the diagnostics.

I modified it slightly because my IP address is not necessary for troubleshooting this issue. is anyone else having the same problem? how can i fix this

Did you get anywhere with this? I'm getting the same error when I try to use Home Sharing. It worked through all the 9.x versions, but with 10.0.1, I can't even home share between two identical MacBooks. I get the above error when I try to copy a song / video / etc. from one library to another.

ITunes Store Error Message: "network connection was reset"

I've been having trouble connecting to the iTunes Store since Dec. 25, 2006. The last time I was able to connect to the site was Jan. 2, 2007!
The error message that I have been receiving is: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. The network connection was reset."
Here are the troubleshooting issues that I have already performed.
1) Ensured that my internet connection was active.
2) Checked to make sure Windows XP Service Pack Updates were compatible. No problems with the firewall detected.
3) Have the latest version (7.02.16) of iTunes.
4) iPod software is up to date.
5) Ran iTunes diagnostics which states:
Windows Firewall is on.
iTunes is enabled in Windows Firewall.
Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
The network connection was reset.
Connection attempt to iTunes Store was unsuccessful.
The network connection was reset.
Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
Does anyone have this problem? Can anyone recommend a solution that worked for them?
Sony Windows XP

PS: I also went into Internet Explorer...
Selected Tools, selected Internet options, then selected Advanced Tab
Then I looked for the security section and made sure that SSL 2.0 was selected.
I was still unable to access iTunes Store.

PCs losing network connection

We often have one of our ethernet-connected PCs lose its network connection. (not just the internet, the entire LAN connection). To get it back we either reset the Homehub 3 or simply swap the cables between ports on the hub. It isn't always the same PC that loses the connection, so pretty sure the problem isn't at the PC end.
I've spoken to BT in India and they sent a replacement Homehub 3, but the issue persists. Both Homehubs are Type A. The person I spoke with insisted they no longer make the Type B hub (which I wanted for its newer firmware).
Although we do have the workarounds above, this issue is annoying so I'd like to find a solution.

Hi foxycat,
Do you get any error messages on the computer when it loses connection? I presume the error messages are the same on each computer? I'm also presuming each computer is connected to the Homehub using a different ethernet cable so this would rule out the cable being at fault. Is there one computer that doesn't lose connection at all, or does the issue occur when you switch on a certain device?

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.
