Simultaneous multiple networks under access connections?

I have two networks at home, one of which uses an ADSL internet connection the 2nd of which serves Network attached storage devices. Each network has a router. I want to use the wireless connection to connect to one network, and the ethernet con, for the other. I've looked through the settings carefully in the Access connections application. I've set profiles for the wired and wireless network adapters. I've unselected the tab to "disconnect from the connection when switching to a different network" but I cannot be connected wirelessly and wired simulatneously. If the wifi adapter is running, I'm working on network #1 with the internet connection I use, and if i pop the ethernet cable in from the second network, instead of having access to my Network attached storage devices, and retaining the wireless connection it seems to disconnect from the wireless connection and just retrieve an IP from the router network #2. I thought about setting up static IP's but that shouldnt be necessary. The adapters should work independently of one another. So whats the deal here? I cant move the NAS's from one network to the other, but I shouldn't need to either.

Take a look to the option "Switching location".
Open AC -> Configure -> Switching location.
Try this: Disable the automatic location switching option.
Regards.

Simultaneous multiple network routing?

I'd like to know if it's possible to have two network connections, one ethernet and one WiFi that can be used simultaneously. These connections attach to two different networks where ethernet is a LAN and the WiFi connects to a cable modem.
I'd like to have OSX essentially try the LAN first but if it can't connect that way try the WiFi.
Can this be done?
Please let me know if this is not clear and I'll try to re-explain.
Thanks.

You could do this in a script. I'm not sure how to change the network service order on the fly, but you could down the ethernet interface, fire up your IRC client, and up the ethernet interface. Like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Turn Ethernet off
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/netw
orksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled "Built-in Ethernet" off
# Fork IRC client
# Since I don't know what it is, I'll substitute TextEdit
/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit&
# Turn Ethernet on
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/netw
orksetup -setnetworkserviceenabled "Built-in Ethernet" on
exit 0
You could just ifconfig en0 down and ifconfig it back up again, but I read that networksetup was the preferred method.

Access Connection log file, no clear structure, behavior criptic

I am troubleshooting an issue with Access Connection ver. 4.42 executing over a Lenovo Thinkpad T61
I enable the log, using the login tab, for the Diagnostic option in the Tools Menu.
The log generated is in html format, but the contents its very dificult to understand.
I think the developer put this for debuging, and they know, what mean every entry ( I think).
someone know the meaning of the entries in the log file AcconAdvanced.html ???
Thanks in advance.
filmancco

Hmm.. that is a bit strange... The 3945 card in the T60 and the 4965 card use the same driver, so you'd think the problem should be showing on both systems.
When you switch to another profile and you get the pop-up window showing progress, at what point of it do you get a red X?
Also, if you click "help me fix this" what error is listing?
I presume this is with v4.42 of AC? Might want to make sure that also have the latest hotkeys and power management driver if don't have them already...
Hotkeys:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68000
Power Management driver:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4GXPEG
Don't use the driver from Intel's site, Access Connections needs to use the Lenovo driver in order to function properly.
But, you could uninstall Access Connections and the Lenovo version of the driver and download/install the Intel driver with their PROSet application to see if it have the same behavior. That would help say if it's an AC problem or a driver issue.
As for the disconnecting problem, can try changing the Power Management and Roaming Aggressiveness of the card.
Edit each profile under Access Connections and on the Wireless Settings page, go into the Settings for Advanced Configuration. Set the Power Save Mode to Low (best network performance).
Then open Device Manager and open the properties of the Intel wireless card. Go to the Advanced tab and change these two settings.
Power Management: Uncheck Use default value and move the slider all the way to the right to Highest.
Roaming Aggressiveness: Uncheck Use default value and move the slider all the way to the left to Lowest. Click Ok and exit. Then reboot the system.
You may need to tweak the Aggressive Roaming setting to a left of middle setting if you find yourself not roaming soon enough.
Try that and see if it helps....

ThinkVantage Access Connect

How do I switch from the Windows Wireless Service to the Thinkvantage Access Connect? It was working before but now when I try to pick up on wireless networks with Access Connect, it doesn't detect anything. And when I go to location profiles, the only profile is Windows Wireless Service. I'm using Windows 7 Professional by the way.
Thanks

I have the same problem with T61 on Windows XP Professionnal....
Beside, ThinkVantage Access Connections takes several minutes before anything shows up when started.
It started since the last update. I believe they don't test their software before pushing it to our laptops

Access Connections and WLAN

Access Connections attempts to connect to my secured home network but fails. Yet I can still connect to the network, connect to Skype, and access webpages through Chrome. Windows Network and Sharing Center tells me that I am connected to the internet through my home network yet Access Connections has a big red X over the wireless connection, telling me I cannot connect to the network.

You can just un-install it. I did on a recent Thinkpad,
and my connections were fine afterwards.
Or explore the settings of the utility, maybe there is
something you can change to fine tune it?

Use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive

Is it possible to use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive. I have three different basic sites (home, work1, work2) with network drives that I would like to access depending on the site.
1) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile?
2) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile that is based on vpn connection?
thanks in advance
sincerely, anders

Hi,
directly it's not possible for Access Connection to reconfigure your network drives.
However, there is one really cool part of Access Connection, that might be realy suitable for your situation. This part is the script/application, that can be executed when a profile gets applied.
So for your situation I can imagine, that you create a .bat file, that contains something like this:
net use * /DELETE /YES
net use Z: \\computer name\share name
The first part will delete all maped drives. The second part will establish connection that you want to use. Of course you can multiply the last part, so that you can configure multiple connections.
Please let me know, if this helps.
Cheers

Access Connections and Group Policy generated network profiles

Hello,
We are in the middle of rolling out 3500 T400 machines and are having fits with Access Connections 5.02. We have a default in-house Preferred Wireless Network Profile that is created on each machine via Group Policy. This works fine with AC and everything does what is supposed to do when our users are in our buildings. When our users go offsite, we have nothing but fits with AC and trying to set up any other WAN connections.
If users set up a new network connection, we are asking them to set it up thru AC. We have had them try using both the "Use Windows to Configure Wireless Network" as well as "IEEE 802.1X Authentication". Once the network connection is set up, for some, the wireless will work for a short period (a week or so) and then will no longer detect network connections. The user nor the client site has made any changes to the wireless configuration.
Others will have a stable connection wirelessly until they connect over VPN – VPN will drop in a few minutes after connection. They can then sometimes reconnect after a reboot; but the instability is a constant problem.
It seems to me that the problem could all be traced back to GP enforcement, which occurs every 8 hours when connected to our network. If a user is offline for several days, then connects up to check email or transfer time or whatever, then they are kicked off. If a user connects via VPN, they are kicked off within minutes - again potentially traceable to GP enforcement.
Has anyone else dealt with this scenario of Preferred Wireless Network policies and Access Connections?
Thanks!

Try going back to AC 4.52, which solved the problems i was having with AC5.02 (freezes, BSOD, loss of wireless connections when coming out of standby, GUI problems) on Vista Home Premium. Scroll down for prevous versions of AC5.02 here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67283
I do not use a VPN system so AC4.52 may not help your 3500 Thinkpads.
Lenovo (Mark_Lenovo) knows there are problems with AC5.02 for the last three (or more ) months and have stated that AC 5.1 will solve the problems, but it has not been released as far as I know. There are many threads on AC5.02 on this forum and also on thinkpads.com
the Lenovo Blog site also has an update on AC5.02 ;under "Design Matters" on how they selected the graphics for wireless connections - the responses there offer some suggestions to fix the problems.

WRT610N - connected to multiple networks?

Hi all, I bought and set up one of these routers yesterday and initially my laptop reported it was connected to multiple networks, same SSID but different antennae, it meant I could switch between 2.4 and 5.0 GHz without dropping connection and obviously had great connection strength. But after a shut down and restart it will now only connect to one antenna at a time. Which is the correct way for the connection to work, should it be connected to only one antenna at a time?
Thanks in advance.

I've obviously not been clear, when I set up the router yesterday I set different SSIDs for the two bands, LINKSYS1 for 5GHz and LINKSYS2 for 2.4GHz. When I connected to LINKSYS1 I got 2 connections simultaneously, one labelled "LINKSYS1" and another lablled "LINKSYS1 2" both providing a 5GHz connection. I also had another connection at one point called "LINKSYS1 3". Exact same thing happened when I connected to the 2.4GHz band "LINKSYS2" (i.e. I had 2 connections labelled "LINKSYS2" and "LINKSYS2 2" both providing a 2.4GHz connection). Hovering over the network icon showed 2 connections and network and sharing center showed connected to multiple networks. When I restarted it this morning it's only connecting to one and the converage isn't as good (could get 100% signal from outside last night and stream DVD iso's but it's buffering quite a bit today). I've googled it and some other people have mentioned the same thing but they seemed to think it was a fault, but it gave me better coverage than I'm getting today. What I was asking was which is the correct way for it to operate, as one connection or multiple connections.

Access connections does not see wireless networks but can connect if you know the SSID

Running a Thinkpad x200 using windows 7 and Access Connections 5.42.
A few weeks ago i was traveling and was connecting to a hotel wireless network.
Could receive email but wasn't able to send email due to hotel port restrictions so long-story short version-- IT staff at hotel told me to connect via LAN. Which i did by simply plugging in LAN line to the thinkpad and to the hotel -- port -- no other changes. have done this a million times at home and elsewhere.
All is well....
until....
I get home and i notice that when i use access connections, it doesn't see any wireless connections (no icons in the radar screen). It automatically connects to my home network and i can use the home profile to connect. Same for any connection that i know the SSID for -- i can't see it but i can connect to it.
But it doesn't show any icons during "find" or find again. It only shows the home icon i am connected to. If i disconnect and try to find wireless networks. It doesn't show any.
So i know
1) radio is working
2) can connect via lan
3) can connect to a known wireless if i know the SSID and either manually configure it or if i have the profile saved
4) i have run antivirus, malwarebytes - etc -- all clean
5) have rebooted, turned radio on off
6) system restore doesn't help
7) all wireless networks are now invisible to radar screen. Have tried this at starbucks, around town - etc -- available wireless network icons are invisible
I'm not sure that hooking up LAN in the hotel did anything but it seems too coincidental. Also seem to recall a thread where this has been known to happen.
Help!!!

First off, it sees the networks. That's good. You reset network settings which usually corrects a number of problems. Let's focus on your home network and getting connected to that.
1. Reboot your router (just power it off for 10 secs). Try to connect. If it works, you are done. If not, step 2
2. Reset your network settings again. However, this time log onto your network by tapping Settings > WiFi > Other and re-entering your network name, security settings, and password.
Check your connection by tapping the blue > next to the network name with the checkmark. If your IP starts with 169.x, then you are connected but your router is not issuing you an IP address. This leads to a couple of additional problem areas - WEP encryption and outdated router firmware.
If you continue to have problems, tell us which router/model, security settings used, etc.

BUG: Access Connect Abort, when I create a new network profile.

Where can I report bugs?
My system is windows xp sp2 on X60.
I have been using AC-4.42(Access Connection) for a long time. And before, there is no problem when I added new network profile into it.
But yesterday, I wanted to add a new profile into it. I opened the "create profile" window and input the name of the new profile (I have two network adapters, wired and wireless. So by default, the both are selected. And I left the default selection unchanged.), then "Next". The 2nd window is about wireless config, I configured everything, then go on "Next", at this moment, an error occured and AC aborted with four error windows. The titles of those windows are "ACMainGUI.exe error" and "ACMainGUIWnd: ACMainGUI.exe".
Then I did it again, I opened the "create profile" window, and this time, in this (1st) window, I changed the selection of network adapter, besides inputing the name of the new profile. I only selected the wired adapter, and then "Next". Sadly, this time the 2nd(next) window did not appear(pop up) at all. Instead, those four error windows poped up one by one. AC aborted again.
I repeated the above operations many times, and everytime, AC aborted.
So I went to the online "support and download" to look for some updates about AC. And I found AC-4.52 with luck. After downloading and installing, unfortunately the problem still exists. AC-4.52 still aborts when I create a new network profile.
So now, what to do. I have no ways. I am expecting the developers could note this problem and fix it and give me a newer update as soon as possible.
Sigh...

I have exactly the same issue. Next to the actions mentioned by ixbm I have also fully uninstalled and reinstalled the AC-4.52, but this didn't help.
Any idea on how to solve, installing older version?
regards,
Bart

I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is completely off. What to check next?

I cannot get my iMac with built-in airport wi-fi to allow internet connections to Nook and PS3. The devices access the network, but internet connection fails. Internet sharing is enabled, network security (WEP, WPA) is disabled. What to check next?

On an additional note, I've purchased a wireless router and everything connected on the first attempt. It just vexes me that the built-in wireless isn't working as a router. Is this another example of "Mac only plays with Mac"?

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Bridging network connections - access connection problem

Hi there,
I need to sum up my network connections (wlan, umts, e1000, loopback) to one connetion using a bridge. Unfortunatelly there seems to be a problem with the lenovo sw. After a few minutes connection time, wlan just stops working. I guess it has something to do with the automatic switching of the access connection system if it detects another network. Is there somewhere in the settings an option to allow bridging?
Thank you for any hint.

This sounds like a similiar problem:
