Strange connectivity issue with WRT54G

I hope you can help with this. I have just moved into a new house and am trying to connect the internet through their WRT54G wirelessG router. It shows up with full reception in the WindowsXP wireless connection manager, but it will not connect. IPCONFIG has its status as 'Media Disconnected', and all pings to 192.168.1.1 fail. A loopback test ping to 127.0.0.1 works. My flatmate's wireless connection to same router works fine, and when he accesses the router's configuration page it states that I HAVE connected and DHCP has assigned me an IP. I've tried everything; deleting & resetting the connection, resetting the TCP/IP/Winsock protocols, disabling the WEP security on the router, but no luck. The connection is fine on my flatmate's computer. My machine is a Dell laptop and and I have taken it to 3 other wireless networks and it connects to them no problem. I can connect to the router in question fine wired with a CAT5 cable but it's not convenient to have that as a permanent solution (when the router is supposed to be wireless!)
I work in IT and thought I was pretty good with computers but this has me completely stumped! I looked for new firmware but couldn't find any listed on your site - if there is could you provide a link, or if you've any other ideas what could be causing this please let me know!
Thanks

Sounds to me like it's related to a configuration setting despite the "Media Disconnected" message. Try disabling any SpeedBooster or other non-essential options on the router. Perpaps the Dell WiFi NIC doesn't like it. I doubt it's a MAC filtering issue but you can try removing that too. If it's a somewhat older laptop you can try removing the small panel on the bottom and reseating the WiFi adapter if it's located there. Newer Dells have them built in around the LCD where you can't access them.

Connectivity Issues with WRT54G V8

I have always had some intermittent issues with this router, and now more than ever. It appears my router has recently gone to crap, and will no longer even connect. The device is properly connected, the latest firmware has been installed, and I have tried disconnecting and resetting the modem numerous times. There is no problem with my land line, as I have always been connected. Please let me know if I can provide further information, and what I could do to resolve this issue.

bump. anyone?

Connection issues with Safari 3

I'm having some connection issues with Safari 3.
When I connect wirelessly, Safari won't load any web pages. I go and use Firefox and everything is just peachy.
I've reset Safari, emptied the cache and whatnot. I went in and checked the permissions, everything checks out.
When I connect with Ethernet, there's nothing wrong, which is my dilemma.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a number of posts in the Leopard forum from people with direct experience with upgrading from Panther to Leopard. Here is a relevant thread from there that should reassure you.:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1418714
Your system should be fine for Leopard, but you will probably need a current version of Photoshop if you don't already have it. See this download:
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
Also, Leopard doesn't run Classic (OS 9) apps.
One caveat - first make a bootable backup "clone" of your present system onto an external firewire drive so you can recover if anything goes wrong. You can use the "Restore" tab of Disk Utility to make such a clone, and there are also Panther-compatible versions of Carbon Copy Cloner (v 2.3) and SuperDuper (v 2.1.4), both excellent for this.
It's even possible to a create second Panther clone on a different external volume to create a "dual-boot" system, using that volume to continue to run old applications that you can't run with Leopard.

Connection issues with EA4500

I had bad connection issues with my mobile device, so i pressed reset on my EA4500 router, and now when i connect to my network, it gives my limited connection even though i have 5 bars of signal. Not sure what to do now...

Resetting the router will erase all the settings you configured on the router since the initial setup. You manually configure the router's wireless settings so your wireless devices can have internet access again.

Make sure to use a computer that is hardwired via Ethernet cable to the router.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

Hi Amit,
Moved to Universe Forum.
If you have a case logged then no point posting here also, this is a public site and not a case management tool.
Once you do get the solution from your case please post it here also to help others if they have the same problem.
Thank you

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver 2014

I have a very weird SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver CC (2014). I am on a Mac running 10.9.4 and have no problem connecting to my server through SFTP with Dreamweaver CS 6. However, using the exact same settings on CC (2014), I get the following error: "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information".
I am truly at a loss here. Command line connection works without problems.
Any thoughts?

Hi there,
Try after rebooting your system or in a different user account on MAC.
Is there any limit with number of login sessions with your SFTP?
Could you check with Filezila or similar FTP client and connect to your site, see if you get any error there?
Thanks.

Strange Printing Issue With New HP & Pages

Hello!
I have a very strange printing issue with a new HP printer. I have written pages documents heavy in Texts which are located within tables. The documents print fine on a Cannon and Epson printer and look great but when I print the document on my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 Colour M451nw some of the text on some rows come out of the printer looking like they are bold / slightly fuzzy. This only happens with some of the rows of text, not all of them. The font is the same in every row with the same format.
You can see this in the attached image. The first line (Thanks very much) has printed correctly but the subsequent lines look bold / slightly fuzzy.
After a lot of testing the only way I can resolve this is if I copy the content into a new pages document and only then it will print and look ok with the HP printer.
This must be a problem within my origional document. I would simply copy and paste everything into a new document however this would take a very, very long time (over 5 years of work producing teaching materials and over 100 documents and thousands of tables and formatting that cannot be copied and pasted).
Also, on other printers you can see the lines seperating each row of the table. These lines are not visible on the HP print outs, even when the table is copied into a new document.
Has anyone come accross an issue like this before? Is there a way I can fix this without creating a new document? Do I need to get a new another new printer (the 4th printer this week!)?
Any advise, wise words would be greatly apprechiated!
Thanks!

Sorry, Fruhulda. After 4 hours on the phone with Apple care they are taking this issue further themselves. It seems to be a problem with our pages document and the compatibility with certain drivers. We have still not gotton to the bottom of it and Apple are going to get back to me when they have an answer.
We also worked out that the issue only happens when you print via Ethrenet & USB. Printing via Wifi is ok and there are no quality issues.
Very Strange!

Anyone else having repeated wifi connectivity issues with the OSX version 10.8.5?

I just updated the software on my iMac to OS X version 10.8.5. Now I am having repeated connectivity issues with the wifi in my house. This is the only device that is having these issues. My phone, ipad and tv are not having any problems at all.
It happened immediately following the update. I was sending emails and browsing before the update without a problem.
from apple:

I had a message like that last week - only it asked what browser I would be using - I just quit safari - purges caches etc - and at that time noticed I was getting RSS feeds through PUBSUB - tracking them down to the top sites view I never use - I deleted all of the top sites (most of which I don't go into so it must have been a preset) that included MSN and Google - I don't use google so that was pointless. (deleting a top site means you are blocking it from that page) Have not had the message since so it must have had something to do with top sites activity.
Just a note: Did see somewhere probably BBC tech - that Google was going to stop supporting older web browsers.

Connectivity Issue with FIOS

Hey all,
Has anyone in the Tampa, FL 33629 area had connectivity issues with their FIOS services? My current setup is a Motorola modem that is plugged into a D-Link Router that was provided by VZ. At the D-Link located outside of the house the connectivity light is flashing red and according to the legend it indicates that it has passed the test but is having communication issues. This has been occurring over the past few weeks. The first call to customer service, after diagnostics where run and the outside unit was unplugged and battery were removed as well as all modems and routers being reset, the service rep scheduled a tech to come out. The next morning it seemed like everything was back to normal. Since then we have had intermittent service and I am currently without phone and Internet access (bundled the phone, TV, and Internet) for a couple of days due to their internal service report and dispatching system being unavailable. Just curious if anyone else has encounter this issue.
Thanks,
JB

BPC 4.2 connectivity issues with server

Hello All, I have a user that is experiencing connectivity issues with our server. This appears to be at a client level and I would like to know how to correct it. We are currently using BPC 4.2 (service pack 2).
The problem occurred when they had IE8 uninstalled and installed IE6 today. This morning he had no issues connecting to BPC w/ IE8, but lost that connection when IE6 was installed. When working through the connection wizard, the following errors appear.
Here are the pop-up error messages they are receiving:
"The server name, or IP address (srvbpmarl01) is unreachable now. Please check the following:
1. LAN connection or Internet connection is working properly.
2. Server name or IP address is invalid
Detailed Error Message: Internet connection is not available"
"The system cannot download information from server: SRVBPMARL01.
There may be a network or security issue.
Error message: Your LAN connection or Internet connection is not working properly.
Detailed error message: Internet connection is not available."
I can't help but feel this issue is a result of the IE 8/6 complications, but I do not know which actions to take next.
Thanks for any help you could provide!

I don't think the problem is related to IE.
It seems to be more a problem of configuration of IE.
I suggest to chec the follow:
1. Please make sure you are not using any proxy into connection of IE. Ot if you neede then make sure you will add your server into exceptions of proxy.
2. Try to connect with IE to server. use: http://nameofserver/osoft and also http://nameofserver.
If you received errors in both cases then it seems it is a problem with installaion of IE.
If you are able to connect and to display the default page for osoft then it must be a configuration problem.
I suppose MSDTC or Pivot table services is not correct.Try to use slow connection when you connect to server not High connection.

Random Connectivity Issues with Time Capsule

I am having random connectivity issues with my time capsule with my intel based iMac. I don't have any issues with my MacAir, iPads or iPhones... just the iMac. It shows a "good" connection but sometimes... TC won't be able to connect to run a backup or I can't get to the internet. It doesn't appear to be an internet problem as I can get to the internet on other devices. It appears to be a connection issue between the iMAC and the TC. Thoughts or suggestions?

Do a full reset of the iMac.. apparently after the latest Mountain Lion update it can cause issues. I have not needed to try this as I have not seen it myself but I track the treads very closely and this popped up.
