Struggling with connectivity...how do I refresh my network?

Hey, i own the wireless wrt54g router. I currently have 3 pcs connected to this network and an xbox 360. One PC is using wireless, and the others are wired. For some reason, i randomly get disconnected from the internet, and at other times the connection is very slow. My ISP is Optimum Online, one of the more faster providers. I heard with routers and networks you need to refresh the connection by unplugging a few things every month or so. Any help appreciated!

Hey what's the version of your WRT54G? Checking your router model and version
BTW, please be informed that when you share your Internet with many computers, it is bound that your Internet bandwidth will be distributed to the computers that uses the Internet connection. That other computers in the network may experience slow Internet access, especially when one or more computers do heavy downloads (example: BitTorrent).

How do I refresh wireless network list?

I own a MacBook Pro and I noticed recently that when I switch on my access point AFTER booting OSX my home WEP wireless network won't show up in the network list and thus the airport does not connect. I have to switch airport off and then back on to find the network, and then all works fine.
Is there any way to tell airport to "refresh" the network list, or is any option defining how often to check for networks in range?

Thanks, I believe I found the solution following your suggestion.
Actually I did not want to choose the option you mentioned since I wanted Airport to try to connect to open network if it doesen't find a preferred one.
However I found out that my airport option "By default join:" was set to Automatic. I believed it mean Airport tries to connect to the last network used, and thus had to connect to my home network as I wanted but, as I explainde above, it did not refresh the network list. Can't figure out why.
Instead changing that to "Preferred networks" and using the option "Ask before joining an open network" did the trick. Now Airport finds any network in the preferred list almost instantly, and otherwise asks if I want to use an open one.

Refreshing Excel 2010 workbook with connection to Access database on shared network drive

I have an Excel 2010 workbook that has a connection to an Access database that's on a shared drive on the company network. I can refresh the data in the regular Excel application but when it's hosted in the browser I get this error message "The data
connection uses Windows Authentication and user credentials could not be delegated."
Next, I installed PowerPivot for SQL server 2008 and used PowerPivot to connect to the same Access database. I uploaded it to a PowerPivot gallery but when I try to refresh the data but it says "the workbook was created in an older version of Excel
and PowerPivot and cannot be refreshed until the file is upgraded." I tried to go to "Manage data refresh" but I get the "Sorry, something went wrong" page. Do I need to install PowerPivot for SQL server 2012 to do scheduled data refreshes?
What about manual refreshes?

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
Kyle

SOLVED!
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
Cheers

Does your Mac have ThunderBolt ports?
There are ThunderBolt to FireWire adapters.
As far as I know there are no FireWire to USB 3 adapters.

How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path? When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical.
If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization?
You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured. This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
http://10.20.30.40
UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share. That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network. You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server. (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance. If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed. (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

How can i improve database connectivity with connection pool

Hi,
I used to create a connection to DB per session since the application is pretty small. Now i want to improve the db connectrion with connection pool. However, i am still confused since the book i read says that i have to change something in server.xml in the tomcat server while other people in this forum actually implement a connection pool class. Isnt it has been built into the servlet container? if yes, how can i use it? I suppose i only have to open the connection and the connection pool will reclaim the resource when the session is terminated in the same way the gabage collector reclaim resource when no reference is associated to object, am i correct?
Thai

the documentation for Tomcat 5 DB pooling can be found at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...les-howto.html
Here are the Tomcat 4 docs:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...les-howto.html
The administration console can be found at (under default install):
http:localhost:8080/admin
But, you have to set up a user and password in your
<tomcat-install>/conf/tomcat-users.xml file.
You need to add an "admin" role and a user that will be assigned this
role like this (obviously you won't be using "tomcat" as your password):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="admin"/>
</tomcat-users>
So, I can log in as Tomcat and have admin privs.

i'm sure this helps u

How to use magic move with connection lines?

When I use magic move with connection lines, they disappear and reappear in the next slide. It seems like magic move doesn't recognize the connection lines (or can't match them), so it just redraws them, instead of leaving them there.
I'm trying to use magic move to make a nice presentation that includes connection lines. How can I make without the lines disappearing every time something moves?

Group the shapes and connection line together:
select the objects then Arrange > Group (alt Command G)
