  • Skype cannot connect. (Windows XP, Skype version 3...

    Hi there,
    Since yesterday I can not connect to my account. I've also tried on three different PCs at home and tried to connect to couple of different accounts. Probably issue with my internet supplier, but I've decided to search for help here at first. How should I proceed from now on? 
    Thank you!

    Not known any alternatives yet. Goolge+ has some sort of function for real time videocalls, which runs on browser, without need to install anything on the background. But it's not same as Skype and it doesn't support wireless handsets.
    I think there's a lack of fast working instant messenger for now. Some skilled programmers could create new P2P instant messenger to replace Skype.
    Here's some ideas for it (anyone can feel free to use them):
    - Open source
    - Written in C or some other goor programming language that creates native code, and can be ported to any platform. Native code means, that it will run FAST, with minimum amount of memory needed to do things (that's 100% opposite of the principle of current Skype versions).
    - De-centralized P2P network architecture which is not owned by anyone and which cannot be sold to Microsoft or other companies (which will just spoil the product, like happened with Skype). Little bit like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which do not have any "central" organization behind them and the product kind of "lives" in the network, when each node will help to keep it living.
    - End-to-end encryption of all communications, with traffic routing thru many nodes (just like tor nework). No goverment / NSA backdoors included.
    Let's hope that we will see something like this in some day...

  • 8.8 Client cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 error -1102

    SAP Business On 8.8 on PL 18
    This is not the first time I have had this issue with Windows Server 2008.
    however everytime the resolution was diffrent. Now this site is causing trouble.
    The issue is the client cannot connect. We have the log on window, can see the company list. type on the password and we get a -1102 error.
    The client on the Server itself can log on. It is the cleints that cannot.
    I checked these below.
    1 SQL Native client is installed and ok.
    2. Licence server is configured and ok
    3. The user has admin access to locl PC
    4. The SAP user name and password are correct ( client on server can connect fine )
    5. The ports 1433, 30000 and 30001 are open on the server.
    6. Through SQL server configuration the named pipes and TCP are enabled.
    7. SQL server browser is running
    The only things I have not tried are
    The Firewall is running on the server and I have not yet stopped it. Will try that tomorrow.
    Do you have any other ideas please ?

    I have got this working but I am not confidant of the outcome  - yet  - I really need your expert advise here.
    This is what I did. In that order.
    1.     As Owen suggested I checked if there was a specified Port for the instance.  What I found was TCP Dynamic  ports were enabled (  SQL server config manager | network configuration | tcp properties ) and there was no TCP port specified.  Assuming ( ai may be wrong) that the system assigns a dynamic port to this instance  I set it up so the Dynamic port does not happen and manually specified the Port  1433. Restarted the SQL Service. ( still having the Port 1433 open in the firewall). This did not solve the issue.
    2.     With the above setting still on, switched off the firewall. Went to the PC client and SAP can log on now.  Now keeping the SAP client running, switched on the Firewall on the server. Log off SAP on PC client and log back in ( with firewall off ). SAP now can log on.
    3.     I had to do the above step for all PCs to get them working.
    4. Currently the firewall is on and clients can connect
    So what could be happening? I have no clue. It is apparent there is some setting that gets saved within the PCs ( may be user profile) after the first log on with the Firewall off  - to say its safe ?
    However I have no idea what will happen if the server is restarted u2013 this server we cannot restart any time we want as itu2019s a critical server and runs other things. 
    I would still like to get to the bottom of this to understand what is happening.
    I have a SAP message running too and will ask them this same question.

  • [Solved]Cannot connect to Windows Share printer over network.

    I'm having trouble connecting to a windows printer via Samba/CUPS.
    I've loaded the lp module, but I don't know if I need to load the USB or Parallel ports modules, or both or neither, since this is a network print.
    My organization has provided some basic instructions for Mac users. Working off of those, I have a setup with the device URI reading
    DeviceURI smb://ksong8:(password)@ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal?waitjob=false
    For some reason, the printer reports that it cannot connect to the CIFS share, even though it should be configured correctly.
    Even more curiously, I'm able to connect to the share manually with
    smbclient //ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal -U ksong8
    and then entering my password.
    Am I missing something terribly obvious here? I have a sample of logs in debug mode, but they looked okay to me (as well as very verbose), so I won't put them here. I have attached my /etc/cups/printers.conf.
    # Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.5.2

    EDIT: Added myself to sys (somehow missed that on the installation) and did some futzing around with the GUI tools. Got some interesting results, but I need to confirm that they work.

    Solved.
    As it turns out, either CUPS or Samba does not like having special characters in the password inside of /etc/cups/printers.conf. They should be replaced with "%" and the appropriate ASCII hex code for the symbol.

  • OneNote cannot connect to Windows Live

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with OneNote 2010. I want to create a notebook and share it using the "Web" option. However, when I try to connect OneNote to Windows Live, it keeps "connecting to server" for a long time and then reprompts, saying
    "Unable to connect to Windows Live". I don't even get the sign-in dialog box.
    I've tried the following solutions:
    1. Reset IE settings
    2. Checked Firewall exceptions
    3. Ensured Windows is updated
    Some people have bene able to solve the problem by switching off Two-Step Verification, but I haven't turned it on in the first place.
    It's vital that I am able to share this notebook with my project researchers, so solutions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Arish

    Hi there,
    I have the exactly the same Problem. First it started on my Desktop Computer, then two days later i realized the same issue on my Notebook Computer. Logging in on OneNote online, Android- or iOS-Devices works fine.The only special thing on the
    day I first realized was that I set up a different computer using Windows 8.1 and the same Windows Live-ID.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Skype Cannot Connect Issues?

    since updating to the 6.2 skype, im unable to use skype,
    after i sign in, it appears as it would be signing in, but this loading screen takes alot longer then usual, (around 1/2 minutes) then it would cancel my sign in with the comment ( ! Skype can't connect)
    before updating skype, it was working fine,
    to try to fix this I have done all the following:
    restart/shutdown, given time just incase it was maintence problem
    reinstalled/uninstalled
    (would of downloaded a previous version but they have discontinued them) so this is a no
    deleted share.xml file
    changed advanced connection options
    all these are done, and not a change in where the "skype can't connect" is different
    HELP!!
    windows vista
    skype 6.2 (not working as mentioned above)
    internet connection just fine
    prior from last to 6.2 versions, only the 6.2 update is the only thing i have changed in where im getting this error
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In case you have leftover proxy/policy settings for Skype in you registry you can run this to purge them.  I would recommend exiting Skype completely, running the program then restarting Skype.  All this program does is delete the registry keys then immediately exits.

    If nothing changes, then the problem lies elsewhere.

  • "Skype cannot connect"

    Hi there, I'm reverting to an older version of the skype client due to the fact that the ability to block people in group conversations was removed, along with conversation topic pictures.
    I have an offline installer for the version of the client that I need, but despite uninstalling the up to date, but heavily downgraded version, all my settings seem to stick when I try to install the version I need.
    I suspect this is why I can't sign into the skype servers, and I can't help but notice that the support page, which has EXACTLY the information I need, is down, and has been for several days.
    As such, can anyone here tell me how to totally wipe Skype off of my system? I want it gone, nuked, vaporised, blasted to smithreens, I want nothing left so I can re-install my chosen version.
    I'd be unspeakably grateful for any help.

    Okay, slight digression, but why in the name of all that's bloody holy was this removed, that's like selling a car after smashing the windows and scoring the paintwork. What the fu - Why would you do that?
    What do you possibly gain from removing important features?
    So, just to clarify, there's no way I can have a working version that allows me to block people in group convos without some kind of third party thing?

  • IOS app 8.1.4 cannot connect to windows 7 pro through windows 2008 RDP gateway since app update

    we use Microsoft multi factor auth and radius for 2nd factor auth and that is working but the security log on the windows 7 pc shows that the app is sending the gateway machine login not the user credentials
    all works fine using windows remote desktop client and worked perfectly before the app update

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From your description it seems that you can remote connect before upgrading to latest version. Here suggest you to try reinstalling the app and check the result. Also see whether you can find any useful log for this issue. 
    In addition also please check by bypassing RD Gateway server and see whether you can connect to it.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Windows Xp machines cannot connect to Windows Server 2008r2 after Update from Microsoft.

    After allowing sever updates from Microsoft, My customers XP Machines can no longer connect to the Windows server shares using the server name.  We get "can't find path error".  I can ping the IP address but not the Net-bios name.  I
    can connect by ip address but have a software that must use the name "server" in an executable.  The workgroup sees all of the other computers just not the server, the server see's the windows 7 machines but not the XP machines.  I have
    tried every fix I can find in the forums and online.  I did find and AD and DNS errors during the update.  Errors 4004, 4005, 4015.  Things I have tried: ipconfig flushdns, renew, registerdns, nbtstat -A servername, etc.
    Thanks

    As IP address works but not NetBIOS name, it seems like a DNS or WINS server related issue as Milos said.
    If there is no WINS server configged, check DNS settings (server side) and suffix settings (client side).
    Which system is updated, Windows XP or Windows 2008 R2? You can check the recently installed updates and provide us a list about all updates just installed.

  • Macbook clients cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 RRAS with L2TP/IPSec

    Hi everyone,
    I had installed "Remote and Routing Access" or a VPN server on Windows Server 2008. The connection type set up is L2TP/IPSec. All the Windows clients can connect to the L2TP/IPSec VPN server without problem but Macbook users are facing problem.
    The Macbook users got the error message "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond. Try reconnecting. If the problem continues, verify your settings and contact your Administrator."
    I think it is something related to the pre-shared key encryption but I am not sure. The Macbook users could connect if the connection type is changed to PPTP on server and clients side. I searched for similar problems and solutions online but no luck, I couldn't find solution that helps. I found this is a common problem faced by many macbook users.
    Does anyone have a solution or suggestion for this, please? I appreciate all the helps and suggestion given.
    Thanks,
    CK

    Hi,
    Thanks for the question, however, this forum is for Remote Desktop Clients related questions.
    Regarding the issue, as Windows clients can connect with no problem, I suspect that it is a Mac side issue and I would like to suggest you contact Apple support for help.
    Thanks.
