Suddenly can't connect to a single torrent tracker.

I'm not talking about peers/seeders or download speeds here, but the actual connection where I can see information about the particular torrent before downloading is even considered. I've never had a problem before, and usually download around 50GB a month. My internet connection is fine, my ports show they are open as usual. I've obviously approached my ISP about this, but just wondered if there was anything I might check that I haven't thought of, other than my ISP, that could possibly stop me connecting to the tracker?

I'm using Transmission, but I'd tried another app to see if it was that before posting. The thing is sig, it's suddenly just started working again. I suppose it could have been the ISP, but all they suggested was to reboot the router, which I'd already done. I have noticed recently that there can sometimes be a 30 second lag between opening the torrent and the info panel revealing the seeds/leechers, where usually it's instant. I didn't think anything of it knowing the nature of torrenting until just now. Could this be indicative of a modem fault in some way, and if so how would I test it? I'd assumed that internet traffic to the modem is the same - if it's working it's working.

Suddenly can't connect to windows server

I suddenly can't connect to the windows server. The username and password is correct, but it says "Connection Failed: Unknown user, incorrect password, or login is disabled. Please retype the name and password or contact the server's administrator." It pings the server as well. My internet and email works fine. The IT guys can't figure it out either, but they are not mac gurus. Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information. I also tried connecting through the server alias under the network and its the connetion failed as going through Connnect to Server and entering it as AFP://ipaddress.
Can it be from the 10.4.11 update? It was fine before the update I believe - but I can't recall for sure. I'm a lone mac user in a very pc company, so any mac expert advice would be helpful.
Is just strange since I have no problems connecting to our work email via GroupWise.

Connecting via smb comes back with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct" before I even enter login information, if that is helpful information.
Yes for any previous connection, Macs will send what's in Keychain Access, even if it's wrong, before you get asked... delete that reference in Keychain Access.

TS1398 have been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any idea

my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

10.6.8 MBPro Screen Sharing suddenly can not connect to our other Macs.

We've used Screen Sharing from our MBPros for the past few years to manage our Mac file & media servers. Last year we replaced our G5 file server with a Mac Mini with Lion server. No problems - we could still use Screen Sharing to manage both this Lion file server and the Snow Leopard MacPro that's hooked up to our TV (among other things).
Friday morning my MBP could not see or connect to the Lion file server - the MBPs have the Lion server's data drives in Login Items so they mount when we log in. I also cound not Screen Share to either the Lion server or the SL MacPro. I checked the MBP's ethernet connection and could get to our router and the internet. When I tried to connect via Screen Sharing (by using the Share Screen... button in a Finder window, by using the Connect to Server command with vnc:// protocol, or by using the ScreenSharing menulet) I would get the "Connecting to Lion server" alert but nothing further. I left it for 10 minutes or so and it eventually disappeared but the connection never opened.
I checked the two servers and both were up and running. From the SL MacPro I could use Screen Sharing to get to the Lion server - and my MBPro too. From the Lion server I could Screen Share to the MacPro and my MBPro also.
The problem appeared to be with my MBPro. I switched to an unprivledged user account on it and found I could then get to both servers using Screen Sharing. So it was just my account on the MBPro. Rebooting did not help. Turning on AirPort, connecting to our home AirPort Extreme and unplugging the ethernet cable did not change anything with my account connecting to the servers.
I figured something somehow got pranged in my account's credentials. I used Keychain Access to delete all keychains containing the servers' names, IP addresses or sharing. I was asked for my credentials when I mounted the server's shared drives, but not when I tried Screen Sharing - got the same "Connecting to Lion server" or "Connecting to media server" dialogues and was never asked for username or password, but never connected either.
I cleared all caches using the utility Maintenance in case my MBPro was using invalid cached info. No improvement.
Saturday morning I shut down everything on our entire network - FiOS "modem"/router, Netgear gigabit switch, AirPort Snow, AirPort Extreme, MacPro, MacMini, both MacBookPros... even the FiOS cable box. Still no improvement.
IPv6 is disabled on the Lion server. All the Macs have all curent updates applied.
I've spent most of today Googling for solutions and trying them out. None have worked - though I see several very recent reports in these Apple Communities about Screen Sharing suddenly not working.
I really do not want to have to move to a new account on my MBP - and what's to say it won't happen again? Anyone have other suggestions?

sunnovagun!
Hitting the Log Out button in the MobileMe panel worked. I can now connect to both the SnowLeopard and Lion servers just like I used to.
My condition appears to have been slightly different from yours, gmia - the MobileMe on my MBP had the correct info, but hose are not the credentials i use to remote to the two servers. I'm guessing that for some reason ScreenSharing began using my MobileMe credentials instead of what I had saved in the keychains.
Wonder if it had anything to do with the shutdown of the MM servers. That would be odd as using ones apple ID to log into a Mac remotely was new with Lion, and I had the same problem with our SnowLeopard server - which I remote into much more frequently.
Probably didn't hurt though to reboot the entire network...

Suddenly Can't Connect to Flash Debugger

Out of the blue today my flex builder stopped breaking at
breakpoints. While trying to troubleshoot I discovered that if I
right-click on the flash application, and choose Debugger, I can
try to connect on either LocalHost or Other Machine. I clicked
Connect with LocalHost selected and got the following error:
"A connection to the Debugger or Profiler could not be
established by Adobe Flash Player 9."
I tried to use Other Machine with my local IP address, as
suggested in another forum, but it also failed.
I've got the latest Flash debugger, and my firewall is turned
off. Does anyone have a clue as to why this would suddenly start
happening after months of the debugger working?

I checked out my Flash Version on the site above and it looks
like it's fine.
quote:
Your Player Version: WIN 9,0,124,0
Debug Player: Yes
Operating System: Windows XP
Video Capable: Yes
Audio Capable: Yes
Local File I/O Enabled: Yes
The odd thing is that the trouble seemed to start out of the
blue. I've been debugging in FireFox for months, then one morning
it can't connect to the debugger. Luckily I can debug in IE, but I
still don't know what's up with FireFox.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Suddenly can't connect to Yahoo email? "Incorrect username or password".

I thought I was past all the email headaches I've had with the X. Its certainly not a Blackberry...lol
Everything has been working fine for the last month and now all of a sudden it wont connect to Yahoo. I've tried removing the account and setting it up again. I've tried every different suggested setting. I got it to work and it synced up all my yahoo email and then an hour later it wouldnt connect again. The error message is "Incorrect username or password". I've entered the correct information.....trust me.
I am at wits end with this phone. The email problems have been going on since the Droid came out. Why hasnt Verizon resolved the problem?
Any suggestions as to what I can do to get my problem correct? I love the phone...but hate the email functionality.

Not a Verizon issue...a Droid issue. My bad...I see I stated verizon in the first post. I meant to say motorola.
You can search the internet and find many people have had the same thing.. I've had lots of problems with bellsouth also....and so have many others. I still cant , and never have been able to, send an attachment with my bellsouth account.. I had a Verizon Blackberry for years and never once had trouble accessing yahoo or bellsouth. I dont want to switch back. I think the Droid is a cool phone......but if I'm paying $30 for a data plan and need to get my emails I expect to get my emails.

Suddenly can't connect to express, unless I plug ethernet into it.

Setup
cable box -> wp54G ->linux mythtv box (ignore for rest of story)
2 laptops connect wirelessly to the network.
1 mac mini connects wirelessly to the network.
1 Epson printer and some speakers connecting to network via express. (not using for internet at all)
All of a sudden, I can't connect to the express at all. I re-set the thing, but couldn't connect to it wirelessly. Once I ran an cable to the express, I could see and re-configure it. but the moment I take the cable off, it goes blinking amber...
The mini can print to my printer hooked up, but iTunes doens't show the remote speakers as an option any longer leading me to believe the wireless part of the express is damaged. I assume the printer works due to a wireless connection to the wp54g, which then navigates the cable to the express, and on to the printer...
any ideas? it's annoying the !@#$%^&*() out of me!
thanks in advance,

Hi Videoman413
Try doing a factory reset, using the information at the bottom the Resetting AirPort Express article.
Then using Airport Setup Assistant join your existing network as a client, and hopefully the rest will fall into place for you!

Suddenly can't connect to certain websites

This week I discovered that I am unable to connect to several websites I am accustomed to visiting frequently. These are not 404 errors. Safari and Firefox both give me the message that they "can't connect to the server," and Netscape says the "connection was not accepted." The problem websites I discoverd so far are nytimes.com, daypop.com, democracynow.org
I had monkeyed with some of my system settings including activating the firewall which I deactivated with no better results. I cannot remember if there
was anything else I did which could affect the web connections. I repaired permissions just in case--no change. It was suggested that I make one of the problem sites my home page on Safari--that did no good.
I sent a message to the NY Times via webmast@nytimes. com asking if there was some reason I should suddenly have a problem connecting--it didn't get spit back at me, but it has yet to be answered.
Out of ideas as to what else to try. Any help out there?
Thanks.
Noel Gilmore

Uh-oh. Very bad that so far NO ONE has any idea how to help. I've put up the question on a couple of Mac site forums which got me to the Network Utility. I tried using it but for the most part can't interpret the results. If posting them will enlighten anyone, I'd be glad to do that.
Someone suggested that I needed to use a different DNS. Now I'm into territory I don't really understand. I went to my ISP's support website and found the addresses of the primary and secondary DNS. My TCP/IP settings didn't require that I input any DNS address, but armed with them, I entered the secondary address and tried to connect again, but no luck.
Aaarghhh!

Suddenly can't connect to home wireless network

All of a sudden I can't connect to my home wireless network - always has worked perfectly. Now I get a box asking for the password, and although I type it in correctly it keeps saying "incorrect password." I thought I'd delete it and re-establish it, but it doesn't show up in the Managed Network settings. Any ideas what is going on?

On the problem computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and delete all instances of the printer.
Next, print a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer (Network menu). Note the printer's IP address.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

IMac suddenly can't connect to wireless!

My iMac suddenly refuses to connect to wireless! It worked fine before.

Can anybody help me? Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. I have a time machine that I use for my wireless router. I connect wirelessly using my Macbook Air. It has worked fine for months. Today, about 4 hours ago, my wireless connection stopped working. When I connect via ethernet directly, it works. I know it's not my router, because I also tried a spare Airport Express and that doesn't work either. I'm going to try restoring the time machine to its factory settings and configure it from scratch to see if that works. I'll post back with the results.

Can't connect to a single external IP address

I'm having the same problem as this other person is having,
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7072594
Basically, I've tried everything and I can't connect to this one IP Address: 206.212.255.34
I take the router out of the equation and I can connect just fine, connecting directly through my cable modem.
I know it's not a DNS issue as DNS is not even being used, it's a direct connection to the IP address.
In the thread above, that person couldn't connect to twitter.com and it was blocked for no apparent reason.
I can't connect to this IP address for no apparent reason.
Things I've tried:
resetting the router completely
changing the dhcp -> manual and setting the IP and using 255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask
changing the IPv6 to both alternate modes (it's presently set to link-only)
setting a DMX for my ip address
setting a static IP address for my computer
and I've tried just about everything I can think of, those are just some specifics.
anyone else having a similar or same issue?

I'm not talking about anything incoming, I'm talking about external.
My home computer -> external network across the Internet
I know how to use port mapping and DMX and all that, I know networking.
I've been trying to debug this for about 3 weeks now and I can't find a single solution.
It's only going OUT to that IP address that I can't connect, going through the airport extreme.
outbound withOUT using the router, it works just fine.
I appreciate any light you can shed on why my airport extreme is blocking my access to this single IP address, it's quite frustrating
thank you
