Thinkpad T60p fails to connect to the network.

Greetings,
I have been having connectivity problems with my ThinkPad T60p. As a result, I removed and re-installed the network drivers. 
At this point, when I turn on the wireless, I can see all of the available networks, but when I choose an open network, anyone, the network connection process starts, almost completes, and then, I get the following error:
"Unable to connect to the selected wireless network. You may need to configure your system to support the authentication that is in use. Contact you network administrator."
I am not a network expert, so I would appreciate some help.
Regards,
Jean-Pierre

Try installing that one, and see where it gets you. There should be an Intel wireless utility included with it as well, so if the Access Connections and Windows one give you grief, try that one.
Good luck.

  • Can't log in to AirPort Extreme but I am connected to the network

    So I am trying to log into my AirPort Extreme base station. My password is not working.
    I am able to connect to the internet and the rest of the network, I just can't log into the Base station through the AirPort utility. I have other wireless devices that are connected to the network and they have no problems.
    I tried reseting the Base station as described in the help files and using the default password "public", but that doesn't seem to work either. Am I not reseting the Base station properly? I don't know. I held the button with the tip of the pen, the light on the front went yellow/orange.
    I am at a loss. I need to see my network settings and correct some port forwarding issues.
    Any help would be great.
    Thank you

    If all your counter measures fail then power off the modem and router. Disconnect all ethernet to the router. Power on the modem. Power on the router then do a reset then connect ethernet.

  • Distribution manager failed to connect to the distribution point

    After upgrading my distribution point to windows server 2012 standard I can't distribute content to my distribution point.
    I see the following error.
    source: SMS Server
    Component: SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER
    message id 2391
    Distribution Manager failed to connect to the distribution point Check your network and firewall settings.
    The firewall is not enabled. 
    wbemtest is able to connect to the remote server that has the distribution point role installed.
    The network access account is working.
    How do I fix this?

    but why does it most of the time work? I did inplace upgrade at least 6 times from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 and every DP except one works fine.
    I'm not completely sure, but I think, my faulty one, that I'm trying to get working, was working correctly after the inplace upgrade. But as I said, that is only a theory, I'm just curious if that's possible.
    I have the same issue as described above.

    "NoRouteToHostException" => This looks like routing issues through the proxy server.
    You can involve network admin to take care of the settings at proxy , to allow connections through the proxy server.

    Hi Ashley,
    You can use Network Monitor and run it on the remote DP at the time ConfigMgr is attempting to install the DP role to capture more information on what may be causing the issue.

  • Sierra Wireless Aircard - not receiving data while connected to the network

    Hello,
    Can anyone please help me out here please.
    I have a wireless internet connection on the Bigpond 3g network in Australia. It uses the Sierra Wireless Aircard 880U and the Bigpond connection manager software (version 2.10.18) to connect to the internet. This has been running pretty fine since I installed it some 4 months ago.
    Now in the last 3 weeks I've been having connection problems, or actually I'm still connected, but data just suddenly stops coming in. The connection manager software states that I'm still connected to the 3g network; and I can see that data is still sent from my mac (the software tracks the data sent and data received); however there's no more data coming in (or very little, as in bytes), and Safari (or any other application like Skype, the widgets or mail) eventually fails (just happened again: "Safari could not open the page “http://discussions.apple.com/post!post.jspa?forumID=1222&reply=false” because the server is not responding" - while I was still connected according to the connection manager).
    Also I can't ping anymore. Packets are sent out, but nothing comes back.
    Now I've spent the last 3 weeks on the phone with Bigpond support but they can't resolve the problem. We have tried all the resources; including reinstalling the software, de- and reactivating my account, rebooting, removing and reconnecting the device, creating a specific location for the wireless card as to reduce any possible interference from airport, etc. But this hasn't resolved the problem.
    The support people are now stating that it is not their device or software that is faulty (as the can see that I'm connected to the network just fine on their side), but something specific to my Mac that is causing the data problem and that I need to contact mac support.
    The annoying fact is that the problem is erratic. Usually when I start up my mac in the morning; I can connect and surf the web without a problem, but later in the day, the internet connection will fail. I will restart the mac and bigpond connection manager and sometimes I may be able to get back online, but most of the time there is no more data (or very little data) coming in even though the connection manager tells me I am connected to the network and data is going out and very little coming back in (a few kilobytes at the most). Personally I have the impression that the Bigpond connection manager software is not too stable, but I can't put my finger on it.
    Also the connection manger software seems to behave erratic. Sometimes it is connected and I can surf fine, while it states that it is (still) determining the IP adress, other times it will show a valid IP adress but I'm not getting data (or vice versa). Also I've been getting other error messages, like: "unable to initialise the device" and a mac popup message: " a modem error ocurred; cannot negotiate a valid set of ppp...."
    Hopefully theres someone who can give me a hand here based on what I've written. I'm at wits end. Just let me know if I need to supply need more info;
    thanks

    I have just discovered another aspect of this issue.
    If I have the Macbook connected to my router which is then connected to the Mac Pro but the router is not connected to the internet then PS on the Macbook starts up with no problem.
    If the Mac Pro is not connected to the Router then PS will not start up on the Mac Book.
    I suspect that this behavour started after I installed 10.5.7 - however as I cannot recollect starting up PS in standalone mode prior to last week before I installed 10.5.7 via the combo package.
    So any clues please

  • Mac failing to connect to ethernet network/internet

    Help this is driving me nuts. My mac connects to the network only intermittently. I have 3 macs networked via ethernet, connect to a switched ethernet hub which is connected to a dsl router. There are other PC's in the building that connect to this wired network and thus the internet. All the 3 macs (running leopard, all upates installed) have been set up using DHCP and all has been fine for years. Now one mac has trouble connecting to this network. The error messages imply the internet connection is at fault but both other macs and the PC's are connecting OK. I suspect its a network issue as the other macs can not see the faulty mac when it's playing up. I don't understand why 2 work fine but not the other. At times I could surf the net but mail failed to connect saying it could not connect to a server port. Now the mac seems to have dropped of the network completely - but it seems to see a ethernet connection when running diagnostics. I have not posted any error messages because they all seem to differ and are not consistent. Should I start again? what's the best way to set up a network like mine - it has been run like this for many many years. Am posting this on one of the other macs as the faulty mac has been offline for days now. Weeks ago we did have a similar problem on the third mac but after 1/2 hour and restarting the hub it has been running fine ever since. Thanks for reading this and if you need any more specific info, or for me to run a test and report the results, let me know.

    Hi Suggsy-
    Your hub (switch?) could be failing. It is possible for one port to become flakey while the others all work fine. Can you try another port?
    If that fixes it, combined with the other problem from weeks ago, it may be time to replace the hub.
    If that does not fix it, be sure to try a new ethernet cable.
    Luck-

  • [SOLVED] NetworkManager failing to connect to wifi networks

    Up until yesterday NetworkManager had been working fine on my network. Then yesterday it began dropping internet access (but still reporting that it was connected to the network) and eventually dropping the connection entirely. This has been happening whenever I attempt to connect to the network.
    Now, nm will not even connect to the network, it appears to attempt authentication but fails. Ethernet however, works perfectly.
    Here are some of my logs:
    journalctl
    dmesg

    Is ip-config available on your system?
    ip-config isn't a program/package (on linux at least). This message just means that DHCP is timing out.

    My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
    At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
    (note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
    Anyone had this problem?
    Even better has anyone got a solution?
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

  • Upgrading to xcode and can't connect to the network

    Hi! I use a C++ library in my application which connects to the network (I suppose it uses sockets). I've been using it for months and I was using xcode 3.2.4. Now, I just had the great idea of upgrading to xcode 3.2.5, and I found out my application was crashing with the error:
    If you are encountering this problem running a simulator binary within gdb, make sure you 'set start-with-shell off' first. 3.2.5
    Ok, couldn't solve it, so went back to 3.2.4, as suggested somewhere. The application is not crashing anymore, but now the library can't connect anymore to the network. Tried to rebuild it (I didn't write the library but I have the sources) and use the new library, but nothing. Still the library can't connect to the network. I tried with every simulator.
    Any idea what there could be wrong and how I may be able to solve this? Can I somehow delete manually everything related to xcode and the simulator and try to start all over again?
    Thanks!

    I've been able to temporarily solve this problem by removing the entire Development directory and installing again xcode 3.2.4. Even with xcode 3.2.4 however, the same happened, and I had to do this procedure again. Now it seems to be working correctly, but it seems something very strange has happened. Hasn't anyone experienced anything similar?
    Thanks!

  • Why can I connect to my home network with my iPhone 5 in one room, but when I move to another it is 'unable to connect to the network'

    At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
    As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
    If I move back downstairs it reconnects
    This has only started happening in the past week or so
    I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
    I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

    Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded.  Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
    Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers?

  • SOLVED! HP Officejet 6500A E710 will not stay connected to the network. scanner not connected

    After 5 hours of live remote HP tech support, and 10 more hours of web searching, I am happy to say I have solved the wireless network connection issue with scanning and printing using the HP Officejet 6500A E710n-z.  I notice that there are a lot of people with similar issues with no common, successful fix.  Here is what worked for me.  
    Background Info:
    Upgraded internet service from 9Mbps to 27Mbps...Provider brought out new Arris DG860 modem/router.  Configured network and connected all clients (smart phones, PCs, Tablets, etc) successfully accept the printer.  With this new router/modem the printer/scanner/fax would not connect to my PC at all (Windows 7 64-bit).  The Officejet was always connected to the network, however, anytime I tried to print I would get an error "Unable to connect to the printer...", and when I made an attempt to scan.."Scanner not connected, make sure it is connected to the network..." blah blah blah.  
    Process:  
    After searching the web for solutions with no success, I finally made my first call to HP tech support.  Tech tried numerous fixes: many network changes (channel, static IP, etc.), made changes to Windows system settings and registry, installed new software and drivers, ran the scan doctor, partial, semi, and full reset on the printer.  He changed my wifi channel to 6 (or 11) from AUTO and whola.  That seemed to fix the problem.  After hanging up the phone 10 minutes later "No connection" errors again.  Made a second call to HP Tech Support, and this new tech basically tried all the same fixes as the first tech.  Worked again for 10-15 minutes then disconnected.  Made third call to tech and this individual tried the same fixes as the previous two, but to no avail.  He said he would have to direct me to a more Advanced Technician and would call back tomorrow.  They called back the next day, and this new tech fixed the issue within 20 minutes. 
    Problem/Solution:
    The fourth "more advanced" tech made one change in my network configuration settings.  He changed my network mode from B/G/N to B/G and now the printer/scanner/fax stays connected and works like brand new.  The only problem is that all my devices (including the Officejet) are 802.11N capable.  Setting my network to the old B/G mixed mode slows my speed down just a bit.  Using B/G/N mode or N, my download speed is 27 Mbps.  On B/G mixed my speed is 25Mbps.  Not too big of a deal, though.  All the HP Support Techs were very nice and helpfull.  They refunded my $25 Tech fee [fee charged when product is out of warranty] because the problem is not "technically" solved, even though it does work.  Conclusio:  This seems to be an issue with my the modem/router provided by my ISP.  Could also be that it is an older Officejet and need to upgrade.    To Fix Follow the Steps Below:
    Step 1:  Find your default gateway IP...usuall 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or similar.  Type this IP into your web address bar and hit enter.
    Step 2:  Enter the username and password.  This is normally set at factory default --> username: admin ....passowrd: password .... or .... admin
    Step 3: Go to the "Wireless Setup" tab and under the "Advanced Options" and "Wireless Network Settings" change the "Wireless Mode" to "B/G mixed".  
    Step 4:  Click "Apply" then close the browser.
    You may, or may not, lose your wifi connection for a short period while the new settings are applied and you may, or may not, have to power cycle your modem/router.  That's it.  Worked for me and I hope it works for you too.  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post. 

    OK, that all sounds right.  Here are a few more router config ideas:
    1. Make sure that 802.11g mode is available, along with others is OK, but 'g' must be present.
    2. Change the channel to 11.
    3. Use WPA or WPA/WPA2 encryption, not WPA2 only.
