ThinkVantage Access Connections

Hello,
I would need some piece of advice concerning ThinkVantage Access Connections. I have uninstalled it from my computer and I would like to re-install it but I do not know how. I have a Notebook Lenovo, 3000 V100, model 0763-C4G.
Thank you in advance for your answer

Download from Lenovo > Support > fill your model number > Downloads and Drivers > Network > AC
Or get System Update (also in support or UTFG) and download it from there...

Thinkvantage (Access Connections) problems

I have a T41, running XP with 3 different profiles set-up (1 admin and 2 users). Two days ago, Access Connections will no longer auto launch and connect to our wireless network when signing in with one of the non admin profiles. Alternatively, if I sign in as the admin, Access Connections starts, connects to the wireless and when I switch to one of the other 2 profiles.......they are connected to our wireless network!
What happened and what can I do to set the profiles back up to auto launch Access Connections when I log in as one of the non admin profiles?
Thank you in advance,
Boulderrs

Any ideas on what to check for?

ThinkVantage Access Connections and Limited User Account (LUA) on XP SP3

Is it really so that one has to be logged on with at least Power User privileges to get the Access Connections utility working properly with 3G/HSDPA? When logging on as a Limited User, the computer can find all the cell phone operators nearby but does not let to do a connect. But when logged on as a Power User, all problems go away.
I would not like to bump up my user privileges from Limited User to Power User, since all else seems to work fine with a Limited User Account. Any ideas about what is going wrong -- or did I just hit into a wall here?
The environment in question is Thinkpad X200 and XP SP3. Access Connections and the HSDPA driver are the latest ones I could find from the Lenovo driver download site (Access Connections v. 5.21, Ericsson HSDPA driver v. 1.0.1046.221).
Would there be any other way to use 3G connections than to use the Access Connections utility (without changing to another o/s)?

Hi Sami,
I just got stuck on the same problem as you and following is what I found in details fro ThinkVantage Access Connections version 5.30. Hope this helps.

<Limited User>
A Limited user can create and apply only modem profiles. However, if
Administrator sets "Allow Windows users without administrator
privileges to create and apply location profiles" option in the
Global settings then the user can create and apply any kinds of
profiles in the system.
Also, a limited user cannot:
1. Edit setting for the Automatic Ethernet and Wireless location
profiles switching.
2. Edit Global settings.
3. Edit profiles created by another user in the system.
4. Renew or release IP in the Diagnostics panel.
5. Export profiles.
The limitations on Power user also apply on Limited user.

Lenovo Thinkvantage Access Connections prevents Microsoft File and Printer Sharing

We have several Think pad laptops deployed in our company, including G41, T61, and T500 models. We are using Numara's Track It software to inventory our workstations and laptops. The auditing process needs to have Microsoft File and Printer Sharing turned on in order to work. We have enabled a group policy to set this to on by default. However, the Thinkavntage Access connections manager for the LAN connection overrides the GP and turns off the File and Printer Sharing by default. What's worse, with it off, we can't remotely manage the machine's services or even access the registry. We know that his is the issue, because reconfiguring the access connections manager to allow the file and printer sharing will allow all of our remote administration tools to work, insluding the inventory audit.
Does anyone know how to disable the access connection manager from running remotely? or does anyone know how to change the settings remotely to all for the microsoft file and printer sharing to be enabled by default. I would hate to have to visit each user individually just to turn off a setting.
anyone else run into headaches because of this "security feature"?
Jason

1.Find snetcfg.exe on internet
2.Create batch who runs snetcfg with this commnads from network locations
(this setting enable File and Printer Sharing)
snetcfg -u MS_Server
snetcfg -c s -i MS_Server
3. Deploy and run batch on laptops (GPO)
4. Deploy new AC profiles settings (.loa)
done
sorry for my english

ThinkVantage Access Connect

How do I switch from the Windows Wireless Service to the Thinkvantage Access Connect? It was working before but now when I try to pick up on wireless networks with Access Connect, it doesn't detect anything. And when I go to location profiles, the only profile is Windows Wireless Service. I'm using Windows 7 Professional by the way.
Thanks

I have the same problem with T61 on Windows XP Professionnal....
Beside, ThinkVantage Access Connections takes several minutes before anything shows up when started.
It started since the last update. I believe they don't test their software before pushing it to our laptops

Windows 7 Thinkvantage Access Connections 5.41 does not stick to printer default

hi
i have installed windows 7 on 3 lenovo laptops (x60s, x61, t500) and installed AC 5.41 but and have configured them with 5 profiles each with their own default printer preferences but for some reason when i toggle from 1 profile to another the default printer setting does not change accordingly
this is really annoying as i have managed to print documents to the wrong printer a couple of times and it seems to be accross the board on all my windows 7 installations
is this happening to anyone else?
cheers

no i haven't
i have now deployed 5 thinkpads (x200 with lenovo windows 7 installation disk) and 4 X61 and T500's with my own windows build and downloaded all the thinkvantage software using system update (had to manually upgrade to 5.42 as system update did not pick up on the updates)
the printer default sometimes swaps over but often it just defaults to the original ms windows xps writer and not the the one i had specified.
very frustrating, luckily a lot of my users do not switch locations very often and only print from 1 location but i have some laptop roll outs planned for users who do use this printer default settings a lot and i will get some stick for this.

Vista SP2 and Access connections requiring manual reconnect

Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem after the installation of Windows Vista SP2 on my Vista Business. After a reboot, I must always manually 1) disconnect the WLAN connection and then 2) reconnect to establish a working WLAN connection and to gain access to Internet. Before I disconnect, the WLAN connection is alive, but I cannot access any websites. Everything worked just fine before installation of SP2.
I'm running Access connections version 4.42 on Thinkpad R61. I've read that someone has had a similar problem with wired LAN and with newer version of Access connections: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistasp/thread/17ba267e-0bb1-4621-b81f-04afa0d806...
Does someone know how to solve this issue and make the connection to work without a manual disconnect -> reconnect step?
BR,
Miika

After some searching, I found a working solution:

Everything works fine now.

Access Connections and Tools won't install properly

I have followed advice uninstalled the wireless driver, access connections, hotkey, power manager. . Reinstalled all ( latest versions) except access connection. Wireless connections work correctly and all hot keys function appropriately ( including Fn +F5 ). Then I let TVSU download Access connections. An icon is placed in the task tray. Clicking on it nothing happens. Also none of the hot keys work including the blue ThinkVantage key. Once I uninstall Access connection I am back in business with the wireless connection and the hot keys working. ( for all these installs I turned off the Microsoft virus scanner and the firewall).
Have similar problem with ThinkVantage tools in that I get the Icon in the task tray and then the program freezes. No problem in reinstalling PC doctor5

Hi dulverton,
I find lenovo drivers and software rather eccentric; since they need to be installed in a particular order to work properly.
First uninstall your wireless driver and access connections, thereafter reboot your system. Then install wireless driver first, again reboot, subsequently install access connections, reboot again.
Further this is the order in which the following drivers must be installed for each of them to function desirably:-
1) Lenovo PM driver
2) Lenovo System Interface Driver
3) Hotkey driver
4) Wireless driver software [reboot]
5) Access Connections [reboot]
Hope it helps.

T400 Vista vs Access Connections

(I hope this doesn't show up twice. My first try failed with an undecipherable server error)
Basically, wifi is unusable on my new T400 when running Vista Ultimate or Vista Business 64. If I run XP it works just fine. All 3 are stock Lenovo OEM installs from factory media.
My home wifi router is sitting close to the laptop. W/Vista, I can usually see it via "find" but usually can't connect. Occasionally after rebooting I can. Sometimes I can't even see it in find. W/XP on this T400, or with XP on my T61, it works as expected.
I suspect confiicts between Vista wifi management and Access Connections. With XP, one could solve this by unchecking the "let windows manage..." box in wifi properties. There doesn't seem to be such an option in Vista. I have tried disabling the windows "Zero Configuration" service (WLAN Autoconfig after SP1) but that doesn't help. Without that service, AC can't even turn on the radio. Worse (!) I can't turn the radio on manually via Fx-F5 either. Bluetooth yes, wifi no.
It looks like AC actually uses some/all of the WLAN Autoconfig function.
One thing I haven't tried yet is uninstalling AC and just using the Vista wifi management. Even if that works, it gives up a lot in terms of profile management.
I welcome any suggestions. As it stands, this shiny new T400 is unusable. It's a nice little machine, but this isn't the first of the frustrations....
Thanks,
Z

Unfortunately, I need to use this thing on the road as well as at home, so a fixed IP address isn't an option since I won't know what subnet(s) will be in use. I experienced the same problems last weekend at two hotels and in the Denver airport, so it isn't my router.
I have done quite a bit more experimentation with this problem, without any resolution. I do notice that when it fails Vista thinks it is connected, but only locally. It has assigned a 169... address which I take to mean that DHCP has failed. Trying a command: ipconfig /renew fails with an error.
If I let it fail, then reboot, it usually will succeed as long as I try to connect to the same access point that failed before the reboot.
I tried uninstalling Access Connections, but Vista has the same problem(s) when it is doing the management! Failed connections, local only connections, and often success after a reboot. One interesting and nasty difference is that when using the Windows management w/out Access Connections, wired connections will also fail in the same way!
I see many, many people on the web who are having similar problems. Some of the threads go back more than a year with no resolution.
I have gone around and around with IBM/Lenovo support. They have escalated the problem to a series of lead techs who never return phone calls. Very disappointing, since the first tier techs are quite friendly and helpful - and generally return calls.
My next step is to go back to the nice man who handles escalations from the sales side, and ask him where to send this piece of junk. It boggles my mind that Microsoft and Lenovo will put this kind of half-baked crap in the marketplace, and then do nothing to get it working.

Access Connections issues w L512

I have a Lenovo L512 - 444CTO, running Windows 7, i5 processor, 4gb ram, 500gb hd
it has the adapter 11b/g/n wireless LAN mini-PCI express Adapter II
both at my home and at my office, both of which have wireless internet, it will log on initially and get good signal and work, but within ~10 minutes of being on the internet, it for no reason stops working. The Access Connections menu says that it is still connected with strong signal. But the small "network" icon in the bottom right shows the yellow-triangle exclamation point, and says "no internet access," despite the fact that all other computers at both the home and office continue to work without interruption.
it is not a problem with the networks, as multiple other computers on the same network in both places work without interruption.
this laptop was purchased because i have online live synchronous classes this spring for my Graduate program, and I need to be able to get online and stay online to participate in them.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
there is no firewall on either of the wireless providers that I use, and i have checked that the wireless radio is turned on. the troubleshooting for the network icon tells me it finds nothing it can do.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello mate,
It's possible that you need to deselect the option "Allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive" found under Global settings.
Launch Access Connections>Tools>Global Settings. Deselect it and see if that fixes your problem.

How to stop Access Connections from automatically connecting to WAP at turn on or restart?

I had a problem with my X200 winxp sp3 wireless connection. I got it working OK again but in the process I did something that changed the action of Access Connections when I turn on or restart the machine where it automatically connects to the WAP whereas before it did not do this, rather it required a manual connection. For the life of me I can't find the setting that controls this behavior...can anyone point me in the right direction.
thanks for any feedback
*Smith & Wesson...the original point and click interface*

Might not answer completely, but what is your "profile" set to? I have a "profile" called Office that wll only use the "hardwire" LAN Connection. I have another "profile" called Mobile that will only use the Intel Wireless card, yet another that is "HSPA Modem" that will only use the AT&T wireless card.
Could it be that your "profile" is set to use just your Wireless Connection?
Just a thought -

How can I disable remote access connection window ?

When I try to connect (via TCP/IP) with a VI in another PC (in my local network) it appears the remote access connection window.
How can I disable this (programmatically if possible) ?
A big thanks for your answers.
Linus

Randy,
attached the image of the Remote Access Connection Window that appears when I connect to the VI.
It is the Operating System (Windows) classical panel for Remote Access connections using a modem.
Many thanks.
Linus
