SL500 - Ethernet no longer working.

Hi,
Recently my ethernet plug stopped responding/working (no activity lights, not recognizing any cables plugged in). The ethernet card no longer appears under network adapters and has even disappeared from Device Manager. Even when scanning for new hardware it doesn't show up and it's not even listed as an unidentified device.
After trying to re-install new drivers and even roll-back the system to restore points, re-installing Access Connections and System Update, the device still doesn't work. System Recovery doesn't seem to be working either.
The product model is 27465DM - an older model from 2007 which after a serious error was re-formatted and now runs Windows 7. I've done everything but format again which is something I would prefer not to do.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If as Gamloi7 suggests this is a dead Ethernet interface and you don't want to go to the expense of getting it repaired, you could get an inexpensive USB-attached Ethernet adapter dongle and use it instead. They are available on eBay et al for ~$5.

My ethernet no longer works now that I configured my new laptop to wireless

I recently connected my new laptop to wireless. Once I did that, my Desktop computer could no longer connect to the internet using ethernet router. This happened immediately after I configured the wireless on my laptop. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
When I got the new laptop, I had called SBC to help me set up the wireless on it. The helper reassigned a password for my 2Wire wireless account (an easy to remember 10-digit code). After the helper created that new password, I used it to sign onto wireless internet on my new laptop, and it worked immediately.
A minute later, I went to my iMac and it was completely disconnected from the internet. So in order to get on the internet at all on my iMac, I had to set up the airport on it with the new 10-digit code I had used for my new laptop. But I really want my iMac to have DCHP capability since wireless seems slow and sometimes unreliable.
Oh, and I am not using a router. I am just using a switch. I don't understand how it could be a switch problem, however, if I have an old Powerbook (without any wireless capability) connected to the ethernet via wire through the switch, too (the same switch the iMac is plugged into), and it works great. It's just my iMac that can't do DHCP.

Thinkpad SL500 webcam no longer working

Hello,
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad SL500. I've used the built in video camera for years - but in the last few weeks, it disappeared. Unfortunately, it had been a little bit since I'd tried it, and I'm not sure when exactly it happened. Skype doesn't see a webcam, either.
In Control panel > Scanners and Cameras - nothing is there.
When I go to Lenovo Camera Center, the small box opens... but when I click the option for Roxio Media Import, which I've used in the past to take photos with the integrated camera, it says "Only one instance of Media Capture or Plug & Burn may be run at the same time." However, I've check the task manager, and I'm not seeing anything running. If I click the Video Conference link, it just wants to download Skype. Which I have, and is working fine, but only for voice calls.
I've checked my firewall settings, but without a better sense of what I'm looking for, it seems fine.
Per this forum post (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/SL-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Integrated-Camera/td-p/510091) I tried to download the Communications Utility, but got the below error:
Trying to install
Error
Can't find script engine VBScript for script
"C:\Users\corie\AppData\Local\Temp\is-UBAAH.tmp\SYSCHECK.vbs"
Then - "this system is not supported."
I'm really not quite sure what to do next. Thank so for any suggestions on what might have caused this.

Hi, coriej
I did some research on the error "Can't find script engine VBScript for script" and found this thread from a Microsoft forum that may help. The solutions posted here mainly include registry edits or commands through the Command Prompt, but they are only trying to fix the above error, not necessarily trying to install the same software you are. That being said, however, the solutions in the thread have worked for others and may work for you. Once the proper steps have been taken to remove the error, then try reinstalling the software and see if it works. Also, registry edits can harm your system if done improperly, so I would follow the instructions to the letter and consider backing up just in case something goes awry.
I would also make sure that the camera is set to Enabled or Unlocked in the BIOS under Security ► I/O Port Access.
Best of luck. Let me know how it goes,
Adam

IBook Ethernet Network no longer working after upgrade to 10.2

This is really strange but i was using ethernet on os 9 and the dhcp server from my speedtouch router came up and everything worked fine. But yesterday i upgraded to os x 10.2 and the ethernet connection no longer works. I have tried unplugging (this usually works with pc crap) and restarting both the ibook and the router. I know that the router is working fine as i am using the same lead on my powerbook to get internet. Here are the ibook specs:
Indego 366mhz (not firewire model), no airport installed and only has ethernet, usb and modem connections. Any help would be appreciated.

1.) Download all OS X 10.2.x updates from software updater.
2.) After all updates are installed, check system profiler to ensure that your network card is detected and operating properly.
3.) Check for updated drivers for your specific network card.
4.) Verfiy and repair permission in OS X, and if possible download Onyx to execute maintenance and cleaning commands.
After all these steps, there should be no more problems.
Good Luck

Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor no longer works

Hi All,
After upgrading to Maverick I find my Thunderbolt to Ethernet adaptor no longer works. Network app insists the cable isn't connected but the cable works fine with other pcs (a Raspberry Pi for instance). Any suggestions?

If you have access to the Companies Intranet then the Ethernet connection is working just fine. The computer is getting a valid IP address from the companies DHCP server.
You need to take this up with the IT staff as it seems whatever IP your computer is getting it is being block from going out to the internet.

Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV. Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay? (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
My issue:
My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV.
I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
Time for a solution Apple.

If you turn off wifi on your Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV
You may want to try the troubleshooting article
I also found this article
iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library. In other words, really weird.
What it is
iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network. It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers. A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want. How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
Symptoms
Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
Home Sharing working intermittently
Connections getting cut of intermittently
Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
The "working" doesn't last long
The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
Open Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
Select Properties
Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
Click OK
Restart iTunes if necessary
After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.

Airplay no longer working on iTunes 11.1.3 Windows 8.1

I have a PC connected by ethernet cable to a router, which is sending a wireless IPv4 signal to an airport express on my home network, which is in turn connected to some speakers. I also have an Apple TV connected to the same network. Airplay worked fine in the previous version of iTunes, but since 11.1.3 airplay no longer works properly.
On a fresh reboot of the PC & opening iTunes, the airplay icon appears, and airplay works as normal. However, after an arbitrary amount of time (usually between 3-10 minutes) the airplay feature becomes unresponsive, and the only way to remedy it is a fresh reboot of the PC.
However, I can play music from my iPhone through the Airport Express to the speakers, and I can mirror audio from my macbook through the AE to the speakers, but iTunes can't see anything with airplay (no speakers, no Apple TV) and the remote app on my iPhone iOS 7 can find the Apple TV, but can't find my shared library on the PC. So it's not a proble with the AE, or with the router.
Other PC users with a similar issue who are connecting to their router by WiFi have reported a that turning off IPv6 appears to be a usable workaround, but I can report that it does not work for me when connecting to the router by ethernet cable.
Also, the Airport utility can see the AE after a fresh reboot, but again after a few minutes it can no longer see the AE.

yes this is happening to me....
Same scenarios..

Ethernet LAN not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

After upgrading from Windows 8 to 8.1, my Ethernet LAN is no longer working. Wireless LAN connectivity is OK. I have run the HP Support Assistant and downloaded the drivers for 8.1. Hovever, I do not see a 8.1 driver listed for the Ethernet LAN.

You're very welcome. See if the recovery manager still works so you can roll back to W8. Please read this guide for how to use it. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03489643 If it doesn't then you will have to order a set of recovery disks from HP, or you can install this plain W8 OEM software this guy has posted on a link. Lots of folks have used it successfully, which is why I posted it. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?pli=1 Then use this tool to make the iso file bootable to a DVD or 4+ GB USB flash drive. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool Yes, that really stinks why you and I could not upgrade without an issue. I disabled about 5 or 6 devices in the device manager and the code 12 would not go away. I have no clue why the PC works fine on W8 but not on W8.1. My notebook is a few years older than yours and it worked fine on W8.1 but not on W10. Go figure...

Scan function no longer working on my Printer

Recently moved locations and had to re set up my PC. Since then the scan function no longer works. I get the error message "Scanner reported an error", "Failed to open a session on the device". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HP drivers, i have checked the internet connections and all are working. Actually have had a lot of troubles earlier with the rinter and the scanner re wireless connections but hoped to have finally overcome these.
Not part of the problem but a real gripe as to what is the purpose of wireless devices when they never work as well as the ethernet connected devices, someone really needs to get this sorted <gripe over>.
Can anyone help me please to get my system back up and running. I surgent now as currently on paternity leave and need to get some administrative issues doen from home in the next couple of days.
Many thanks,
This question was solved.
View Solution.

StevieDoug,
Thank you for trying my recommendations, I believe this is a wireless issue. Let's go ahead and start troubleshooting the network:
I would like you to shut down the Router, Printer and Mac in that order. Wait atleast 60 seconds, then power on the items in the way they were shut down. Re-attempt the scan. Was this successful or are you still getting the error message?
If you are still getting the error message, let's try Pinging the Mac and testing the connection, click on the link below:
How to Ping on Mac OS
If pings are successful the issue is not likely communication, instead it is probably a firewall blocking the scanning communication. Continue below:
To turn on firewall protection:
1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click Firewall.
2.   Open the Firewall pane of Security preferences   
3. Click the lock icon to unlock it, and then type an administrator name and password.  
4. Click Start to turn on Firewall.
To allow only specified applications and services to connect:
1. Click Advanced.  
2. Click the Add (+) button, and then select the application or service in the dialog that appears.
Are you able to complete the scan? Please let me know the results!
Thanks again,

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

I don't know how a perfect netboot service goes to $h*t after a clean install with no configuration changed. I've verfied that nothing with our dhcp service nor dns has been changed and also verified that the server name has been added to the ip_helper.
Any help is greatly apperciated.

My experiences with netboot on snow leopard server and a few other observations: Point 1 - Never have wireless on whether it be client or server when trying to netboot client. Point 2 - Must use standard mtu setting -1500- on server under prefs. ethernet advanced, doesn't seem to matter on client -I use 7936 for 600TL Readynas on clients only-. Point 3 - It seems that if you ever use wireless on the server it messes it up for good -Took about 8 installs to learn this the hard way-. Point 4 - It seems when logging into workgroup manager with default popup of machine name.local and default user name messes server up if you have a domain name, example of how it should be is: machine name.domain name.com, org, etc. Then username would be diradmin, then password ***** so that settings will hold if you go in to change anything. Many days were spent by a friend and myself learning these few things pertaining to my machine and may help others with weird problems on snow leopard server. If anyone here knows why this is, please post, although my machine is working properly, I am curious. Thank You. By the way, I am using all the latest updates except itunes 10.
