Strange problem .. hope somebody here has a clue .. .. ..

I have an older model BEFW11S4 Wireless Access Point that has worked flawlessly until recently. For no apparent reason, it seems to be blocking my access to Newsgroups (using Charter cable service). Any program I use to access newsgroups (Netscape/Outlook Exp./Agent/Planet Gravity) responds with an EROR 480 - filure to authenticate. I have never had this happen before. Charter was no help at all, so I decided to try removing the Access Point to see what would happen .. .. everything works just fine !! !! I reset factory defaults - same problem .. reflashed the bios - same problem .. I don't have a clue why I can't get to my newsgroups if I'm connected to this thing !! H-E-L-P
thanx .. .. ..

hi , here is what i have found for the error 480 --
Error: 480 Authentication Required
This usually means your newsreader software is not properly configured with your Newsfeeds username and password.
Solution: Please check your configuration to verify that your username and password have been entered into the appropriate fields.
if this is not the issue , in that case u will have to forward ports for the NNTP server ...port # 119 TCP....

  • Short code causes a strange problem - About the list again -- please read!

    Hi again people. Maybe you remember my project - has a list, that you can search thru using a text field. During the work I got stuck on a strange problem ( Again :-( ) My app has one text field, one combo box, one list and a text field once more. The code should do the following ->
    *1. Load the list, no problem with that.*
    *2. Show the elements of the list, that match the selected group in the combo box,no problem.*
    *3. Search thru the list using the text field,no problem.*
    4. When the user selects an element from the list, it should display its info in the second text field. This also works fine, but when after looking at info of one of the elements the things on numbers 2 and 3 ( look up! ) stop working. I must say that everything works fine until user selects an element from the list. I couldnt understand this kind of behavior so I am asking you to help me please.
    The code is very simple:

    Keith, thanks for making that readable. So here's the diagnosis -
    In the refresh() method, calling defaultListModel.clear() results in a valueChanged(...) event in which this method calldefaultListModel.getElementAt(list.getSelectedIndex())results in the exception noted, as getSelectedIndex returns -1, the list being empty... you can't getElementAt(-1).
    I haven't analyzed all the code nor checked whether is now works as desired, but this small change to valueChanged counters the exception being thrown.   public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
    infoField.setText(""); // do this unconditionally
    if (list.getSelectedIndex() != -1) {
    String value = (String)defaultListModel.getElementAt(list.getSelectedIndex());
    for(int i = 0; i < numFields; i++){
    if(value.equals(matrix[0])){
    infoField.setText(matrix[i][1]);
    break;

    Yea! You were right! I didnt think that calling *list_model.clear();* will result in calling *valueChanged()* ........
    That was some *clear()* thinking :-) Thank you!

  • It seems that many (if not all) of my files have been replaced by older versions. I kind find the multiple versions (listed in the Search as in the same dir) and restore them but this is strange. There is no chance that another user here has done a restor

    It seems that many (if not all) of my files have been replaced by older versions. I can find the multiple version including the most recent version using the Search, however, they show up in the same directory even though Finder only shows a single copy. I am able to save and then overwrite in order to restore but this is strange. There is no chance that another user here has done any sort of system restore action (at least intentionally).

    I can find the multiple version including the most recent version using the Search, however, they show up in the same directory even though Finder only shows a single copy.
    In a OS Extended (HFS) file system there is no way you can have two files with identical names in the same directory.
    Of course who knows what spotlight is thinking of most of the time when it does its stupid searches (get Find any File instead) and lists its results?  Are you sure it is listing the same directory or do you have a backup and it is finding it there and you aren't noticing it is two different volumes?
    You could also try reindixing the volume.  Add it to the Spotlight system preferences Privacy and then remove it.

    I have an Apple MacBook on which Lion 10.7, plus all updates, are successfully installed.
    Can you tell me if TechTool Deluxe, normally supplied with Apple here has been now tested and found to run successfully?
    I have run the program to check a problem that I'm having. The particularly with video, and also volume structure. TEchTool Delux reports a failure for both of these components.
    I am wondering if this is realistic or not, given the start-up screen for TechTool Delux mentions on start-up that it has yet to be tested fully with Lion?
    With thanks, Ron.

    Yes, I understand, however, he Macbook is out of its Applecare, but the TechTool it still on the machine. Does that entitle me to an upgrade in TechTool?
    I suspect not, hoever, seeing I am running Lion, I am not sure at all? If you can answer this question it will help as then Imight be able to solve the problem I'm having.

  • Strange problem while building a secondary index.

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem in creating a secondary index which is a part of primary data.
    I tested my program and a working sample program
    My data scheme looks like:
       Key = unique string
       Data = structure {
                        time_t timestamp;
        Secondary Key = timestamp in data (NOT unique)
    My BDB environment flags is "DB_CREATE | DB_INIT_CDB | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_THREAD"
    The primary DB is created as BTREE with a custom key compare function provided by calling DB->set_bt_compare.
    int my_key_compare(DB *db, const DBT *key1, const DBT *key2)
         const char *k1_v = (const char *)key1->data;
         const char *k2_v = (const char *)key2->data;
         return strcmp(k1_v, k2_v);
    The secondary Index DB is created as BTREE while permitting duplication. (DB_DUPSORT)
    It has two custom callback functions; one for data compare, the other for extracting a data from the primary data.
    int my_extract_timestamp(DB *db, const DBT *primary_key, const DBT *primary_data, DBT *secdondary_key)
         secondary_key->data = ( (MY_DATA *)(primary_data->data))->timestamp;
         secondary_key->size = sizeof(time_t);
         return 0;
    int my_secondary_dup_compare(DB *db, const DBT *key1, const DBT *key2)
         time_t      k1_v = *(time_t *)key1->data;
         time_t      k2_v = *(time_t *)key2->data;
         return k1_v - k2_v;
    The function 'my_extract_timestamp' is set by calling DB->associate().
    My problem is 'my_secondary_dup_compare' function called with a strange DBT values.
    I think the values should point to the value provided from my_extract_timestamp(), but they pointed to
    the key which provided when calling DB->put on the primary DB.
    Could somebody help me ?
    Any help highly appreciated.

    Hi,
    In the secondary database, the key is what you extract and the data is the key of the primary database. As your primary key is a unique string, your data in secondary database is also a unique string. The DB->set_dup_compare sets the comparison function for the duplicate data, so you are comparing time stamps on unique strings, not on what you extract.
    As you are comparing the time stamps which are the keys of secondary database, I guess here you want to set the bt_compare function instead of the dup_compare for the secondary database.
    Also, about this sentence:
    secondary_key->data = ( (MY_DATA *)(primary_data->data))->timestamp;
    The DBT.data should be an address, but this is a value here instead of an address.

  • Strange problem in applet application

    Hello Everybody,
    I hava an applet whit an image. This image has to changed by color, and text has to be added to the image. The text color is also changable. Here is where it goes wrong.
    When I change the background color of the applet, the transparant image will be colored. This is good.
    At the start text can be added.
    When you change the textcolor, the frame with the JColorChooser will get at the background of the image, like this:
    [http://schaftwagen.ncamade.nl/schaftwagenfout.png|http://schaftwagen.ncamade.nl/schaftwagenfout.png] (image)
    When you change the text with the "opschrift" button (vertical text) the old text stays under the new text.
    When you change the background after this, everything seems to be okay.
    At an other forum I've asked this question, and some of that people didn't had this "problem". I am using Windows 7RC with the newest java version. Tested it on an Windows vista and Windows XP all with the same problem.
    The source is to big for this forum and can be found at [http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic117029.htm|http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic117029.htm]. This is the other forum, where I've asked about his issue. (I hope this link isn't against the rules to post this link to the other forum?)
    I hope someone can help me with this problem. The applet can be tested here: [http://schaftwagen.ncamade.nl/colorchooser.asp|http://schaftwagen.ncamade.nl/colorchooser.asp]
    Greats,
    C.H.F.S.
    Edited by: C.H.F.S. on Jul 28, 2009 4:01 AM

    I've just tested it on different boxes, and sometimes it does work indeed, but sometimes other problems come up. On one the background color doesn't change but the text color does it right and changing the text work also correctly in that case.
    Can anyone help me please solving this strange problem?

  • Strange Problem with tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath:

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem with selecting rows in a table view (iPhone OS 3.0):
    I select a row in the table view and the method tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: doesn't get called. After that I select another row in the same table view and the method gets called, but with the indexPath of the first selected row. When I select a third cell in the table the method tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: gets called with the Index Path of the second selected row and so on
    When I click on the same row for example n times in succession, tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: doesn't get called, but when I select another row the method gets called n times with the index path of the first row.
    I'm using different table views in my app and in only one of them I have this problem. Unfortunately I have no clue whats the cause for that behavior. (the problematic table view is created and used like the other ones).
    I hope anybody has a hint for me.
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Hi,
    since I didn't found a reason for the problem I recreated the ViewController class with the table view from scratch and the problem disappeared ...

  • 877W router with Webserver inside - Strange Problem

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem and I cannot understand what is going on here. I hope that someone could help me.
    I configured 877W router. Setup Firewall and NAT. I setup access from outside for my PCAnywhere workstation and for my Webserver. PCAnywhere and Webserver are located on a local LAN interface.
    I cannot connect to the PCAnywhere at all. Something interesting is happening with the Webserver. I can connect to some basic pages with words only, for example page has a phrase ?Hello, this is a test?. If I try to open pages with some graphics on them, it cannot find the page. I cannot connect to ports 25, 80, or 110 on the Webserver (These ports are configured on the Firewall and configured with NAT).
    Because I can connect to basic web pages, I am sure that NAT and firewall are configured correctly.
    What can it be? Any ideas?
    Thank you.
    Igor L. Kravchenko.

    Hi,
    Does telnet to the webserevr on port 80, 110 works ?
    If yes, then it is most likely be a packet size issue. O\Try reducing MSS on the LAN interface.
    int vlan1
    ip tcp adjust-mss 1400
    exit
    lower down the value, by 100 bytes till you get better results.
    HTH,

  • Strange problem with my ibook, help!

    Hi!
    This is my firts post here, due to a problem with my iBook and I hope somebody can help me!
    I power up my ibook and everything is as usual: i hear the fan, the sound chime, then I see the apple logo and the spinning gear but suddenly my ibook turn off! I don't know why, I can't access the login. Does anybody here can help me? How can I try to make it work? Is an hard drive problem or is the logicboard near to dead?
    Thank you!
    Luca

    luca1985:
    I fear the HD is near to dead.
    I suggested you you might check that in an earlier post. You can also go to Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info > Hardware > ATA. Look for S.M.A.R.T Status in lower section in right panel. If it reads Verified your disk is ok for now.
    Can i repair it by myself someway?
    If the hardware has failed the only solution is replacement. If the formatted volume has difficulties, it can be repaired with Disk Utility, or utilities like Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro
    Good luck.

  • Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

    I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
    I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
    Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
    Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

  • Strange problem with how my iPhone (4S) sees a friend who recently moved his number from his old network and device to a new network and iPhone 3GS

    This is a weird one, so bear with me.
    My friend recently got an iPhone 3GS with a new SIM in it (3 network in the UK). I helped him set up the iPhone and got iMessage working between my mobile and his temporary number (07429...)
    In my Contacts I had two separate phone numbers for him: 07903... (his old number, on an old Sony Ericsson mobile with T-Mobile UK) and 07429... (the number that came with the 12-month contract I purchased for him; we called this his "temporary" number).
    His old number (07903...) was transfered over to his iPhone with no problems. His iPhone has worked flawlessly.
    But since that day I've had some really strange behaviour on my iPhone (a 4S, also on 3 UK): I removed his temporary number (07429...) from my contacts. But now when I try to text him at the old number (07903...) it bounces back at me as if the number doesn't exist. But if I try to text him at the temporary number (07429...) it works just fine and in my contacts and within Messages it appears as an iMessage-connect number.
    So I tried deleting everything and starting from scratch. Still the same behaviour.
    No one else is having this problem with him. I can call his old number (07903) just fine, I just can't text it.
    I'm guessing that there's something with the way Contacts works with iMessage that's caused the problem. It's as if my contacts have updated properly under-the-hood (iMessage *does* work just not with the right number).
    And yes, when I (or anyone) tries calling the temporary number (07429...) it's out of service. Which is correct. So it's not simply a case of *both* numbers being active.
    So this is very peculiar.
    In typing up this message it occured to me that I ought to try creating an all-new contact with some slight change in the name fields (e.g. include the middle initial) and see if I can get it to work properly. Then I ought to be able to change the name field (or just leave it alone, touch wood!).
    Thanks in advance for reading this far. It's difficult to explain this problem succintly!
    Cheers,
    Carey

    I've fixed my own problem.
    In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
    While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
    Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
    Hope this helps someone!
    Thanks for reading, if you did.

    Hi, I stopped using this MP3 for about 2 or so years because I bought a new one. I decided to start using it again and downloaded all the required software but as soon as I unplugged the MP3 from the power outlet, the player died. I can't get it to start up without plugging it into a power outlet. I think it has rechargable battery? Why didn't it recharge itself?
    My second enquiry is about the capacity of the player. When my player was empty, I went into "Information" and it said Total Space: 28GB and Free Space: 2GB. Why is free space only 2GB? Shouldn't it be 28 as well?
    Thanks in advance!
    The battery will only last about 3yrs regardless of use.You will need to change it. Did you scroll down to see the album,picture,track counts? Did you partition part of the dri've for removable storage. You can find instructions to open here ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Drkr...e=channel_page & ? the battery here(very easy to do) http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Creative-ZEN-Vision-M-30gb-Battery-LPCS285385_W0QQitemZ400028645679QQcmdZViewItemQQpt ZOther_MP3_Player_Accessories?hash=item40002864567 9&_trksid=p39.c0.m4&_trkparms=72%3A205|66%3A4|65%3 A2|39%3A|240%3A38|30%3A0|293%3A|294%3A200
