T500 - some kind of internet problem.

I've had a t500 for the past 2 years and I haven't had a single problem with it (minus the keyboard flex, but that's a different story) until this morning. My wireless connection was working fine until randomly, I stopped being able to load new pages. My computer was still connected to my house's wifi (or so it said), but the internet just wouldn't work. I took it downstairs and plugged it into the router with an ethernet cord, but it still wasnt working. Then, directly into the modem, but still nothing. Keep in mind that through all of this, my computer still claimed it was connected to the network and all that. Every so often, it would change to "connected - no internet access" or "connected - no network access" or something similar. I dont think it's a problem with the router or modem, because all the other machines in my house can connect to the net just fine. On top of everything, I can get the internet to work for about 45 seconds if I restart my machine. Once restarted, my homepage will load, followed by the next page i try to get to, but then after about a minute, it stops again. I'm really at a loss for what to do here, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

hey iseepee,
could you uninstall both the ThinkVantage Access as well as the wireless and wired network drivers from your unit.
let windows install its generic drivers. now try connecting to your connection via a wired and via wireless .
at the same time, i would like to know; the T500 can it connect to a wireless/wired connection outside your home ? maybe at a cafe that provides wireless internet ?

  • Some kind of technical problems (like slow data processing)...

    Some kind of technical problems (like slow data processing) with Leopard appears during the working in the local network.
    OS Snow Leopard 10.6 is installed; including all updates, the computer I currently use is Mac Pro. So I have some kind of technical problems (like slow data processing) with Leopard during the working in the local network. (Windows network).
    During the attempt to connect with network sharing (the computer is in the network) automounter process took approximately one minute.
    Later on, after the automounter process is finished it’s working quite normally over remote computer, but when you try to automount again, everything starts from the very beginning.
    The internet is working very well, it’s connected with domain, and everything is adjusted.
    I use to ask our system administrator; maybe it is necessary to activate the some kind of protocol?
    The OS Tiger is installed on the second hard disk, and it’s working well.
    Maybe someone could help me, I try to find the similar problems, but I could not find them.
    Thanks//

    A couple of things.
    First, thanks for the tips. I was starting to suspect the network might be an issue (bad nic, bad router, something).
    But netstat -s was showing an average of about .15% packet loss. For a web server that seems to be a pretty good value so I'm not sure.
    I did, however, ask someone else to look at the server because I'd spent the whole week on just server performance and was going out of my mind. This second pair of eyes really helped as he found that the pagefile for the server was set at 2mb!? Still trying to figure out how that happened. But we increased the pagefile to a much better value. There wasn't an immediate change in performance, but over time the server appears to have begun to respond better.
    Occasionally I still get these 'lag spikes' but nowhere near what they were and the delay is much smaller as well, which is probably being caused by something else entirely (like bad programming on my part, hah).

  • All Kinds Of Internet Problems - PLEASE HELP!

    So I've been having all kinds of internet problems in my house. I'm almost positive part of it is router related but I just (somewhat scientifically) proved it's also related to my mini. I used speedtest.net to test both my brand new mac mini and my 2006 macbook pro running Leopard 10.5.1 (fresh install). Here's the specs and speed test results:
    _*2006 Macbook Pro*_
    Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM
    OSX 10.5.1
    *Average Results:*
    Download - 4.72 Mb/s
    Upload - 0.84 Mb/s
    Ping - 24-38ms (range)
    _*2009 Mac Mini*_
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM
    OSX 10.6.2
    Results:
    Download - 0.78Mb/s
    Upload - 0.97Mb/s
    Ping - 15ms
    *AFTER PRAM RESET:*
    DL - 2.85Mb/s
    UL - 0.98 Mb/s
    Ping 22ms
    *these were the BEST results and far above the average I got
    Router:
    Netgear WGR614v9 running latest firmware
    WEP 128bit security B/G combined broadcast
    We were running WPA2 security but when I switched to WEP everyone in the house noticed a speed increase.
    The tests were run within a span of 10 minutes and both computers were about 2 feet away from each other.
    Can someone please explain to me why my nearly 4 year old MBP with an outdated OSX is spanking my brand new mini?

    I apologize ahead of time as I am not sure I can answer your question, but I would like to ask you a question if I could...
    Are you using your mini with Ethernet cable or Wireless. Not that there's a real difference in your case but sometimes if you're running with a Wired Ethernet cable on a unit that also has wireless, it helps to turn off the wireless.
    And on the other hand if you are not running with Ethernet cable on the mini, you might think about trying that.

  • Google maps have some kind of Java problem, won't load?

    There is some kind of problem with Google maps suddenly not loading. I tried Google's fixes, but it's still bad. They say Skype figures into it, but I don't have Skype. This problem started on mine suddenly yesterday. I start to type a location in the box, and a little yellow "loading" box appears at the top, and then NOTHING HAPPENS.
    Anybody know about this?
    Thanks...

    Thank you for that input. In my little room here, it's hard to tell which wire or cable is what, even tho I installed this stuff a couple years ago. I have Comcast Broadband, which has been real reliable.
    This problem started just yesterday, and I don't THINK it's what you're idea is. I'll wait a while to see what else might happen on this.
    Thank you.

  • Some kind of a problem

    Hey guys, I was wondering what is wrong with my Macbook Pro. It is a late model fo 2008.
    Ok, here comes the problem:
    1st: No sound or any audio coming out from mybook
    2nd: My keyboard light is not lighting up (F5 & F6) buttons
    3rd: Everytime I restart my macbook it just dosen't automatically restarts, I have to press the option button to choose where to boot from
    4th: And I keep having this error showing up after Switching on or Restarting.
    Running 10.8.4.
    Please help.

    This is for the audio problem. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Boot in safe mode. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Resetting the SMC may also restore the keyboard backlighting.
    Make sure that the right volume is selected in the Startup Disk preference pane.

  • Some kind of raid problem

    sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.24.3/arch/x86/boot/install.sh 2.6.24.3 arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
    Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/hda")
    make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
    make: *** [install] Error 2
    I tried today to compile new kernel but got this error after i ran make install.
    Of course before that i ran "make menuconfig" then i save it and run "make"," make modules", "make modules_install".
    Funny thing is that I dont  use any kind of raid. From reading similar question i have seen that others
    got the same problem but they run LILO but i use grub.
    btw I downloaded kernel 2.6.24.3 from www.kernel.org.
    Anyone has an solution for this problem?
    Any kind of help would be appreciated.

    I believe the RAID is created internally to the box itself, not by OS X. If you remove the drive then you will break the RAID. For more information you should contact LaCie tech support as the Apple Discussions do not provide support for third-party products.

  • Some kind of timecode problem... i think

    Hi everyone.
    I'm trying to capture about 22 minutes of video to my MacBook Pro. The camera taped with was a JVC HD110. I'm a student, and apparently, another student who checked the camera out tampered with the timecode generator ( i think you can slave the timecode on this camera... not sure).
    At any rate, the time code that appears on my JVC GR-HD1 begins at 191:14;07
    FCE HD translates that TC to 19:51:14;07. Somewhere down the line, as i attempt to capture, I get an error in FCE HD saying it's reached the end of the tape. But it plays fine on my camcorder. I haven't been able to capture any of the video to my notebook yet.
    Anyway, is there any-way around this timecode issue? AND do you think the TC issue is causing this problem in the first place?
    Thanks!
    -Nathan

    Nathan,
    in the assumption that you have the latest FCE update (as suggested by Al) and that the unusual tape TC might be an issue, I suggest you to try a different easy setup: DV-PAL DV Converter (or DV-NTSC DV Converter) to bypass all timecode controls by FCE.
    This setup works when the source device (usually but not necessarily a A/D converter) does not provide timecode nor controls (play, stop, rewind etc), but requires that you manually control the camera. In addition the captured media will not have the source timecode, thus preventing you from "capturing project" in the future, if needed.
    But at least you might be able to capture... worth a try.

  • I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet.  Do I have any options?  Thanks!

    Friends,
    I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine.  I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help.  However, this machine is not connected to the internet.  Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software?  Thanks in advance!

    OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc.  Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates.  Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install.  Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
    My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

    BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...
