[solved] problem getting vbox host only networking going on arch host
New arch user here, been running for 2-3 weeks. Finally came across something I can't wiki/google my way through, trying to get host only networking going.
So.... I started by trying the graphical virtualbox manager. File -> preferences -> network -> add, which gives:
Failed to create the host-only network interface.
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004)
Tried the following also, with no luck:
> VBoxManage hostonlyif create
VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004) - Operation aborted (extended info not available)

Thank you sir, that's exactly what I needed.
Now that I look, I see mention of this in the VirtualBox Extras section of the wiki, but not the VirtualBox or Advanced VirtualBox Networking sections. I have edited the Advanced VirtualBox Networking wiki to add mention of this.

Problems getting on my wireless network
I am having problems getting on my wireless network. I have never had a problem with it before. I changed the password yesterday. However, I was on it until this morning. I have never had a problem before and I am on it currently with my MacBook Pro. Also, my wife is on it with her iphone. Any suggestions?
I have been having the same issues lately. I have made no changes to any settings on my iPod or router or computer. One minute the iPod connects perfectly and I get 3 bars. 30 minutes later I cannot connect at all to my home network.It asks me for password and then wont accept it, etc., etc.
I unplug the router and plug it back in and it connects. Then 2 or 3 days later I have the same issues.
Got my ipod replaced and still am having same issues. My laptop has no issues whatsoever with the router and staying connected.
Some compatability issue with 3.0+ operating system and home network routers probably. I use Netgear but others are also reporting same issues with other routers. -
I selected Forget This Network on my iPhone 5S by accident. Now I can see the network but none of the IP Address configuration is there. The phone keeps searching with no result. Been doing this for 2 days. I have the IP address information, but I cannot enter it. I have reset my Network settings, restarted my iPhone, Renewed the Lease..... I must get wifi soon!!!! But how? Two weeks ago I had the most current update for my operating system....
Hey Jeanne,
The last thing you can try is to reset the network settings on your iPhone. It will clear out the other networks that you have joined. Let me know if this helps.

[Solved] Problem getting Batch Files to run as Admin in Win 8.1
I'm trying to control certain Services with batch files to have them stop automatically at start. However, with certain services, stopping requires run as admin. My user account has admin privileges.
For example, a batch file with this command will stop with a command prompt requiring Y/N to confirm the stop.
NET STOP "Audiosrv"
I can create a shortcut and set it to run as admin and it will stop the service without issue when it's clicked. However, if I put the shortcut in the Windows startup folder, so the script runs automatically at boot it seems to ignore the shortcuts.
I've tried the RunAs command below in a batch file, but it doesn't stop the service.
runas /user:jaguar\Admin NET STOP "Audiosrv"
Thanks for your help.Hello Peter, that works great. I found I can add multiple arguments by separating them with a semi colon and I could hide the powershell window with the command at the end.
My last question is if there's an additional command that will hide or minimize the command line window when the script runs?
powershell.exe "Start-Process powershell -ArgumentList 'stop-service audiosrv; stop-service AudioEndpointBuilder; stop-service MMCSS' -Verb RunAs" -windowstyle hidden -
Solved problem with lack of cellular network menu but..
After restoring my Iphone 4 three times, I was finally given the option of installing a carrier from my phone operator. As advised on this page I disgarded it, and my Cellular data menu was visible. BUT everytime I connect my Iphone to my computer it asks me to update the carrier! Will I loose the menu again if I update, or do I have to disgard this update every time?
Hi jonniebaker,
If you are having an issue with your cellular connection signal I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

[SOLVED] Using a NETGEAR WN111v2 USB network adapter with Arch Linux
Hello!
I just recently bought the adapter mentioned in the subject, and hoped to get it working with my lovely Arch Linux OS. (I had read somewhere online that it should work some way or another; ndiswrapper or a kernel driver). However, I've yet to get it working. I tried the tips I found:
Here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … ht=WN111v2
which links to here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885520
Basically, it tells me that I should use ndiswrapper with the arusb_xp drivers provided by NETGEAR. So I place the three files arusb_xp.inf, arusb_xp.sys and arusb_xp.cab in a folder, and run:
sudo ndiswrapper -i arusb_xp.inf
ndiswrapper -l
arusb_xp : driver installed
device (0846:9001) present
sudo ndiswrapper -m
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
This should install my drivers, add an alias in modprobe.d/ndiswrapper saying "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" and load ndiswrapper in itself... right?
But after a iwconfig I can still see only eth0 and lo, no wireless interfaces at all. I checked lsmod, but couldn't find any conflicting drivers loaded.
Anybody got an idea why it worked for the people with Ubuntu and not me? Any and all help greatly appreciated!
Cheers
EDIT: For some magical reason, the drivers that came with my adapter did NOT work, while the drivers on the second link, named the same, DID. I have not inspected how they differ, but luckily, they work. Yey!

Problems getting e-mac to work with AEBS.
I have been having some major problems getting connected to our network. We have most of our e-macs connected to the network via AEBS. The AEBS unit is connected by an ethernet connection. I have been trying to get connection to one of our computers for some time now, without any luck. Last night I finally had some connection, but was still unable to connect to the Internet. I was able to see some of the other base stations in the airport admin utility. I don't know what I did any different though to get the base station to recognize other base stations. I am really at a loss as to what to do to get connection.
I have noticed that under system preferences, when I try to use DHCP, I am given a self-assigned ip address. I can put the ip address in manually. I also put the router in manually.
I guess one of my questions would be how should I set up the base station and how should I set up the e-mac DHCP services? I currently have DHCP set up on the e-mac using Airport. I have the base station set up with the ethernet connection plugged into the LAN connector. This is the way that our other computers seem to be set up.
I have heard talk about setting up WDS on the base station, but none of the other computers are set up this way and still receive connection to the Internet. If I were to set up WDS, what would I need to do? I still would like to connect by using ethernet connection to the base station.I have the aebs connected via an ethernet connection.
OK, that is different that what I understood from your previous posts.
I have the ethernet connection plugged into the LAN port on the back of the aebs.
That is OK if there is another router on your network providing IP addresses AND this AEBS is configured so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.
Otherwise, it should be plugged into the WAN port.
...so should I have the e-mac set up using Airport to get connection to the aebs?
The eMac should be set to use AirPort and DHCP to get an IP address. -

Yes, it indeed boggles the mind. I'm of course referring to the fact that your post concerns Verizon Wireless products and services. This forum is dedicated exclusively to Verizon Communications services. As you probably know, Verizon Wireless and Verizon Communications operate as separate companies.
If you need help for a Verizon wireless product or service, it's best to direct questions to the Verizon Wireless forums. You can reach them by clicking on "Wireless" (either here or at the top of the page).
Good luck and I sincerely hope you get your issue resolved. -

I keep getting message to check network connection when i try to use face time or imessage. Went to apple store. They could not fix it and referred me to apple support which sent me an article to do the things the store had already tried. Store thinks it is a problem with the ID although the correctID and p/word are being used. Just get message that cant sign in and check connection and try again. Happens in every location. Can anyone help me with this since Apple can't?
Since you've tried the Apple Store, etc., even though you say your Apple ID and password are good, I suspect that's the likely issue.
I recommend double checking that with Apple. This link might help:

Problem with Virtual PC and Network Connection - VPC gets disconnected
Hi,
I've been having a few problems with a virtual computer and its network connection. I've set up a few computers the same way over the years and they all work fine except this one. We use the Virtual PC and XP mode to access our data from an older
program. The databases are on a server, which are accessed as a mapped drive. Every once in a while (with no particular pattern, sometimes it doesn't happen all day, sometimes it happens every 5 mins), the VPC gets disconnected from the network,
my program returns a file read error and then everything is frozen. When I try to ipconfig/release and renew, it releases correctly then it won't renew. I need to shut down the VPC from the Win7 task manager and even so, it doesn't shut it down,
even when I try to kill the vpc process. The only way it'll come back up is if I restart the computer. The network connection on the Win7 computer doesn't do that.
Is there anything I can do to fix this ?
Thanks,
MelanieHi,
Does it become more stable now, actually, I'm afraid that this issue is not related with the drive letter or name. Since you're using bridge mode, the I would suggest you use NAT as a test, it is the default network configuration, which allows the VM
to leverage the external TCP/IP network connected to the host. This is very useful if you regularly move the host computer between different network configurations. NAT is the preferred networking option when there is a shortage of IP addresses, a need to
ensure the VM’s IP address is not targetable from an external network, or a need for connecting using WWAN.

SInce upgrading to OS 8.0.2 my ipad 2 freezes, slows down, safari takes forever to open pages, cellular network goes to No Service requiring a reboot (and this takes longer than before), in summary, I now have a fancy paperweight, i used to love my ipad. I feel as if Microsoft has taken charge of the Apple Software Division.
Sorry if someone sees this post in a different thread; Just want to get some additional exposure.. Who knows, maybe someone from Apple will take note..
The glitchy, unresponsive, slow and outright crashes are something you would expect in a less superior product. I paid what I consider a premium because of the perceived integrity of the company and quality of their products. I am not going to go as far to say Apple ***** and so do their products; but they have to to a better job of acknowledging problems and providing recourse. Right now, it "feels" like they don't care about existing customers. I am not sure of the exact #'s, but I believe products like the Ipad2 represent a significant population of their existing Ipad product base.
So what is my specific rant; If Apple is going to take a long time, or worst, NOT fix the problems introduced in IOS 8 for IPAD 2, give us the option of going back to IOS 7. I would say most everyone was extremely happy with their product running under that OS and would migrate back in a heartbeat. By blocking this option, it feels like Apple is saying that the only recourse is to live with crappy performance, wait forever without any real news, or throw away your Ipad 2 and buy a newer model. Right now this is 100% completely unacceptable, and I, as will thousands of others, will watch how this unfolds when we do buy new products. Most technology products only have short, finite lifespan and I would think it is at very least very important to Apple to retain customer base in a highly competitive marketplace. I'm done... -
Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?
Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced. -
