ThinkVantage Access Connections cannot export .loc profile

Hello,
I've tried to export one of the location profiles in Thinkvantage AC. The function however is disabled in the profile maintenance window/menu. Access connection thus only allows importing, but no exports possible.
I've already tried using the Deployment tool for creating .loa files. But as this is binary gibberish, it's not much more useful to me than a registry export.
So, does anybody alternatively have a *.loc file at hand for public viewing? Couldn't find a single example on the web. (Much less in Lenovos documentation or web site...)
Thanks!

Here's an update to my situation:
ThinkVantage Access Connections Issue
I just gave up on this and uninstalled it so no conflicts on this now. (Not critical to me unless someone more knowledgeable thinks it should be!)
Rescue and Recovery: I tried reinstalling both the Thinkvantage version 4.21 and Rapid Restore 4.0 after disabling all virus protection and uninstalling whichever one was on at that time.
Thinkvantage version 4.21: Gave me tons of errors in the pre windows R&R environment so I gave up after rebooting a couple of times It told me there was a problem with factory.exe and the following files were "corrupt and unreadable":
netdgdxb.PNF
nettcpip.PNF
netvt86.PNF
netw940.PNF
net557.PNF
netand2.PNF
netbrdgm.PNF
netce2.PNF
NetSetup.Log
Rapid Restore 4.0: Reinstalled from c:\ibmtools\apps.
Ran both "Create Rescue Media" and Rapid Restore 4.0. "Create Rescue Media"seemed to work ok and burned a CD for me. Rapid Restore had a problem and closed on it's own, but then proceeded to prompt me through 17 CDs for a backup!?! Can I rely on these? Is there a way to check their integrity? Of course, a fix for the program seeming to end--but not really --would be great. Also, the program to create the factory product recovery disks is no longer in Start-Programs menu. The pre Windows R&R environment seems to load ok--no obvious error messages.
Finally, since I reinstalled the software is the backup to factory info gone from my computer? Is there a way to check? What is the relationship between this and Windows System Restore which is reserving 9Gb on my HD--do I need both?
Thanks in advance!

Use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive

Is it possible to use thinkvantage access connections to map a network drive. I have three different basic sites (home, work1, work2) with network drives that I would like to access depending on the site.
1) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile?
2) I wonder if it is possible to configure thinkvantage access connections to automatically map the network resources through a connection profile that is based on vpn connection?
thanks in advance
sincerely, anders

Hi,
directly it's not possible for Access Connection to reconfigure your network drives.
However, there is one really cool part of Access Connection, that might be realy suitable for your situation. This part is the script/application, that can be executed when a profile gets applied.
So for your situation I can imagine, that you create a .bat file, that contains something like this:
net use * /DELETE /YES
net use Z: \\computer name\share name
The first part will delete all maped drives. The second part will establish connection that you want to use. Of course you can multiply the last part, so that you can configure multiple connections.
Please let me know, if this helps.
Cheers

T400 - Thinkvantage Access Connections not connecting after sleep/hibernate

I have a relatively new T400 for work - and there are no problems connecting wirelessly at work. However, I have set up my home wireless network, and I have problems.
When I power up my laptop, I can create a Connection Profile for my home network - and it connects no problem. However, if I let the laptop go to sleep, it will not reconnect upon waking up. Using the diagnostics, I get 3 errors - (a) make sure your encryption settings are correct for this network (it connected before, so they are)
(b) contact network adminstrator (that's me)
(c) your profile is on the same channel as an active network (yup - mine)
The only solution appears to be to delete the profile, reboot the PC, and recreate the profile.
Windows XP Pro, Thinkvantage Access COnnections 5, Intel 5100 wireless card (and T400 as I indicated earlier).
Any tips?
Thx,
jason

All of hte MS updates are applied. I have tried the Thinkvantage System Update utility, but it does not work (System Update 3). When I start it, I get the splash screen for the program, and after a few minutes the splash screen disappears; when I check teh taks manager, the system update tool is not listed in the Applications tab.

Thinkvantage Access Connection reinstall help

I removed the Thinkvantage Access Connection program because I was having problems connecting to the wireless network in my home. I thought I'd try the Windows network connection but I couldn't get it to work. I now want to reinstall the Thinkvantage Access but don't know how. My T61 did not come with any disks. Where can i find this program, or do I have to do a full restore?
thanks

Thinkvantage Access Connections on W520

I would like to use the Thinkvantage Access Connections on my W520. I have found where to download the files. In the Read Me document it state that the model W520 is supported but the network connector is not listed in the "supported device" list.
I want to use the Thinkvantage Access Connections for my LAN networks.
It is a bit confusing now. Is the Thinkvantage Access Connections available for the W520 model or not?
Thank you

Hey Bostoe,
Yes it is if you look at the links below one is to Access Connections for w520
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&DocID=DS030044#devices
which shows that it is supported and the next link is to Psref for a w520
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf
which show the wlan that is installed which shows up on supported hardware. Now if yours is different from any of the above please post the device you have and we will be more then happy to help in any way we can.
Best Regards,
Hiro

ThinkVantage Access Connection disconnects

ThinkVantage Access Connection disconnects from the Network after resuming from Sleep or Hibernate. The only way to reconnect to the Network is to reboot. OS is Vista Home Premium installed on Lenovo notebook 3000 N100. This problem just recently began. Have not made any changes that could have possibly caused this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

ThinkVantage Access Connections, Power Manager, and Toolbox all crash on startup

I have a SL 500 with factory Vista , updated to SP2 and the current versions of the thinkvantage components.
Access Connections has always been very buggy of this machine (I guess the battery monitor has been as well), When I attempted to update them this is where I ended up.
Also just installed new .net framework 4 as well.
thanks for any help

Thinkvantage "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working

My new computer is a T400 running Windows 7 (lenovo disk installed after purchase) .
While it still connects to the internet through the Windows(?) "open network and sharing center the Thinkvantage Technologies "access connections windows wireless service" has stopped working. It worked fine for a while (4-6 weeks).
Any ideas on how to get it started again?
Thanks
John

Thank you for your reply. I'm just not sure what "it" to uninstall or where to get the new "it" to download. Would you mind adding those details for me? I appreciate your help

Thinkvantage Access connections & AT&T U-verse

I have (3) "permanent" profiles in my Access Connections menu in my old T60 and in my new T410 One for my office, where I get Wired LAN and Wireless (networks administered by IBM). Second for my favorite customer's office, where I have a fixed IP as they have opened "pipe" for me to get VPN. Third for home, where I have Wired LAN and Wireless (AT&T U-verse).
My old T60 worked flawlessly in every place. Quite happy. New T410 and AC 5.72 not so good. I can't get my Wireless configured through AC. I think I have found the problem: When making a "direct Windows 7" connection to Home Wireless, I see that security is set to "WPA-Personal" and Encryption type "TKIP". When I go to AC 5.72 menu and select "Use 802.1x or other security", continue to Properties and I can set therethe same "WPA-Personal" and "TKIP" and input passcode. Acknowledge with OK and I return back to AC's Wireless Settings tab. But I can't save this profile now. I click OK, I get information window telling "Enter the wireless security settings". But I was there and I did that already???
Anyone has a good suggestion, how to get AC 5.72 (Windows 7) accept security type "WPA-Personal" and Encryption type "TKIP"?

Hello Javier Bonafont,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be very frustrating when you are having multiple Wi-Fi drops in signal at home. There are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please refer to the attached article for information and steps to help you troubleshoot this situation.
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Best regards,
Joe

Thinkvantage Access Connections + VPN

Is there a way to set up a connection to automatically sense a location and immediately launch Cisco VPN if I am not in the LAN that I've set in Access Connection? I have a profile set up for my home office as well as my work connection, but on wake from sleep or hibernate or startup, my T410 rarely identifies my home profile. My home profile IP is always 192.x and work seems to always be 10.x, so it seems like it should be a simple task.

Hey bsauls,
That is a fantastic idea. haha ... I tried looking for it in Access Connections and I found it.
1. Open Access Connections.
2. Change it to Advance
3. Click Location Profiles
4. Select your home network LAN name
5. Click on Edit
6. Click Additional Settings
7. "Tick" start applications automatically
8. Select CiscoVPN.exe
9. OK and done.
For my CiscoVPN, I use Password Manager to fill in my AD, so everytime I open the CiscoVPN, it would automatically enter my password and log me into the Lenovo Network.
Let me know if it helps =)
*Non Lenovo employee*
I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

Access connection cannot function properly

I am using X31 running on XP. My wireless lan card is Intel 2200bg.
I have updated the driver of 2200bg, access connection, power management driver and hotkey. I can properly configure my wireless network settings through Microsoft Win XP. However, I cannot do so through access connection.
The symptons are:
1. Pressing Fn + F5 comes out a window. The status of the power of the wireless card is not correct. Pushing the key cannot turn on or off the wireless power.
Sometimes, it cannot recognise that there is a wireless card.
2. Openning the access connection, it cannot show the available networks. (though MS win XP shows that there are a lot around)

Hi,
your situation looks, like missing, or misscongifuration of the apps/drivers.
So here is what I would do:
- uninstall AC
- install the latest versions of following apps/drivers:
Power Management driver
Power Manager
System Interface driver
Hotkey utility
Wifi driver
- once this is installed reboot the system
- install the latest version of AC
Let me know, if this change your situation.
Cheers

You can only do that under EAP-TLS (i.e. a user and a computer certificate), not PEAP-MSCHAP.
