Tip for WRT350N and WPC300N

Hi
I have been struggeling with poor or no network performance on this setup. Here are what i did to get it worki properly:
- Updated the WRT350NV2 with latest FW (august 2.00.16).
- Hardreset the WRT350N
- Set up the WRT again, and this time using AES as dataencryption (and not TKPIP). This was actually a tip from Linksys support!!!
- Ensured that the XP Wireless Zero config, was stopped, and set to manual startup on the laptop.
- Uninstalled the previous Linksys drivers, rebooted and installed the latest (1.1.00.019 august).
- Doing the nw setup again in the Linksys Monitor.
Bingo. I now have 300Mbps, and it seems to work quite stable so far.
Drawback: I have devices hat does only support TKPIP. They will not be able to connect to this network then :-(
Hope this helps someone else.
br Lars

Just to clarify some nomenclature:
WPA = PSK personal = WPA with TKIP
WPA2 = PSK2 personal = WPA with AES
Try using "PSK2-personal" with "AES or TKIP". This poorly named option lets some devices connect using WPA, while other devices can connect using WPA2.
This should allow you WPA2 devices to connect using WPA2 (which uses AES), and it should also allow devices that use WPA to connect using WPA with TKIP. If this works, then all your devices should be able to connect.
One additional issue is that Windows XP requires a patch to run WPA2. Go to Microsoft Knowledge base, article ID=893357 and it will direct you to the patch.
Sadly, the patch is not part of the automatic Windows XP updates, so lots of people are missing the patch.

Debugging Tips for Mapping and Validation modules

Hi,
I am new to CRM, anybody can send the dubuging tips for Mapping and Validation modules and the list of tables which I have to check before loading.
(Intilal load & delta load)
Regards
KHM

KHM,
The first thing you need to make sure is that all queues are deregistered on both systems. Check the settings in SMQR and SMQS on your systems. The next step is that your middleware connection user must be a dialog user in order to debug the middleware properly.
If you have those two steps done, then for an initial load you can actually go into to the queues and debug the entries from each queue. For a delta load you will need to put a break point in the transaction before the middleware trigger, and then turn on update debugging(if you want to go through the full process).
The only other key is looking up the correct function modules for the adapter objects to determine what is being called. Once you know these and have done the steps above you can in general debug.
Validate the information above in your system and then let me know where you are getting stopped in your debug process. We can then try to figure out why the debugger is not being called.
Good luck,
Stephen

My firefox won't work; It says "unable to connect" and I have tried all of the tips for troubleshooting and it still wont' work.

Firefox opens up with an "unable to connect" message; it also says it cannot establish a connection to the server with these three bullets: 1) The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
2) If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
3) If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I have tried to do all of the tips that you have on your website for troubleshooting and nothing seems to work. I know it is not my Internet connection because my roommates can get on Firefox without a problem and my Internet Explorer opens just fine.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

If your iPad is defective and is still under warranty, you can take it to an Apple Authorized Repair Center and get it fixed. If you are worried about a defective replacement, then a repair may be a better way to go. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
Personally, I would prefer getting a replacement. You read about many defects here in this forum, but they only represent a tiny percentage of all iPads sold.

My WRT350N and WPC300N experiences!

Hi
I have used a WRT350N (V2) and a WPC300N PC-card for a few weeks now. Here are my experiences. I have attached an already formatted NTFS disk with files on it, to the USB port. All files suddenly have the System attribute set. Files are then kind of writeprotected. Can not be overwritten. Has to be deleted before a new file with same name can be copied to the disk. This really makes the USB disk feature useless. I have tried to connect another disk, and format it (Claim Disk) from within the WRT350N MMI (FAT32 was used) and files copied to the disk still have the S attribute set!
I have quite a few network timeouts using this combination. This is on all types of operations. Browsing, retrieving email, filecopy, Remote Desktop usage. The distance between the 2 devices are only 7 meters, but in between there is a wall (a door between the 2 rooms/devices is just 1/2m from the router). The first days i actually used the WPC300N card with my WRT54G (v5), and this worked flawlessly. No timeouts at all. Actually better than the standard Intel 22xx B/G internal module in my laptop. The 2 routers were placed at the exactly same place (same with the laptop).
I have a Qtek 9100 PDA with WLAN. This device is not able to connect to the WRT350N. The network is discovered, and the PDA tries to connect, but it does not succeed at any time. With my WRT54G there is no problems at all.
I really like this concept with WLAN/N, GIGABIT and USB storage in the same product. Any suggestions to enhance its performance? Thanks!

Welcome to the club I have some of the same problems. When I set up my usb disk connected to my laptop, move all my files over then connect it to my router eveything seems fine, but I cannot delete certain files or folders. Problem seems random. then when I start to copy files to the drive over the network about ten or twelve files copy then I get an error that the network drive is no longer found. then both lights on my WPC300n go off. if I bring up the utility for the card it says I am connected but I'm not. the only way i have found to resolve this is to reboot. I tried setting up the usb drive through the router claiming it etc. this did not seem to help either. I can put an old cisco 802.11b card in my laptop and not have any problems copying files to the drive but it is so slow. Both router and network card have the latest drivers and firmware. I was going to call tech support but won't be able to find the time until late next week. If you here any thing Please pass it on and I will do the same.

AMD64 and NForce tips for EQ2 and WoW players

I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum and play a lot of MMORPGs. Have two tips that helped me solve problems with the two newest games in that area.
With EQ2 some times my character would start running in slow motion. This was not normal graphic lag. Frame rates would actually remain fairly good. Character just moved in slow motion. Found on the boards many people with intel lap tops having this same problem. Someone figured out their CPU speed was going down during these times of slow motion. So I turned off Cool & Quiet in my bios and my slow motion problems went away. Is a shame because did not have C&Q problems with anything else.
With WoW I had a problem after completing a quests NPCs would no longer communicate and I could not log out. Other play would appear normal like MOB and players would continue to move around but after a few minutes would be disconnected from the server. Strangely mostly this problem only happened when playing Horde. Many others were having this same issue on the tech support board. For NForce chipset users what turned out to be the solution was going to Ethernet Settings---->Advanced Configuration--->Checksum Offload and turning if off. Don't know for sure buy my guess is my internet packets are a bit slower now as the downside to this fix.

ive been cranking through wow for awhile now. and have not seen this problem you describe. however im a nightelf.
but thank you for sharing your insight and the first time this happens now ill who too despise and what to fix
cuz that very type of problem would be very unthinkable almost to trace back to mobo eth settings. without the common denominator on the tech support board.

TIP: Instantly Find And Hear Music/SFX Clips Without Opening Any App.

I am usually the last person to discover something so please accept my apologies if you already know this!
I was just watching a free Wind Blur Transition tutorial on genius.com and came across what I think is a very useful audio tip for locating and listening to music and sound effects quickly.
1. Click on the Finder in the dock to open the window and press Cmd F to put it in "Search" mode.
2. Change the "Any" button to "Music" and type a "descriptive" word in the search box.
At this point any music and sound effects you have with that word in the title will appear.
To listen to any one of them instantly simply highlight its name (by clicking it) and press the space bar.
It will start playing immediately.
To instantly hear another before the end of the playback just highlight another tune and that will start playing automatically.
Some of you, who have not loaded any sound effects may be surprised to hear that every Mac comes loaded with hundreds of sound effects hidden away in the Audio folder.
If you would like to see the tutorial click here:-

The audio tip starts about 1 minute 17 seconds in.

Hi -
I cannot overstate the power of QuickLook. I believe it first appeared in Tiger(?) or Leopard.
It has completely changed the speed and ease of finding elements, and has, when combined with Spotlight - in my case, eliminated the need of a media database (iView Media Pro, which was bought by Microsoft and turned into Expression Media).

I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

Tips for blue screen (BSOD) errors with Windows Vista and Intel Turbo Memory on X61/X61s

Important note: The symptoms and solutions described below address only a small subset of the possible causes for blue screen errors, aka BSOD.
This information can help address blue screen errors specifically
related to Turbo Memory, but may not solve errors related to other
issues. Please read through the instructions completely, make sure they
apply to your system, and after attempting the solutions please post
back with your feedback for the community.
Some users may experience random blue screen errors with ThinkPad
systems running Windows Vista with Intel Turbo Memory hardware. These
blue screens may occur during normal usage on the system or they may
occur when booting into Windows Vista. Blue screens related to the
Intel Turbo Memory hardware may reference a stop code of 8086 with
memory address locations of {0, 0, 0, 0}.
There are two main steps that you can take to help resolve blue screen issues related to Intel Turbo Memory.
Step 1: Update Intel Turbo Memory Driver
If the driver version is before version 1.0.1.1004-7.0.3.1001, please
update to this version.
To determine what version of the Intel Turbo Memory driver is installed:
1.    Click Start, then click Control Panel.
2.    Click System and Maintenance.
3.    Click System.
4.    Click Device Manager.
5.    Expand the Storage controllers category.
6.    Double-click Intel Flash Cache Logic Chip.
7.    Click the Driver tab. Then you will see the driver version (for example, 1.0.1.1004).
The new driver and installation instructions can be found here.
Note: The Intel Matrix Storage Driver is updated with this package.
Step 2: BIOS version
If your BIOS version is older than those listed below, please update to the version listed.
How to check your BIOS version:
Turn off the system.
Turn on the system.
While the To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button message is displayed at the lower-left area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The
BIOS Setup Utility menu will be displayed. If you have set a supervisor
password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after you enter the
password.
Check BIOS Version and Embedded Controller Version.
Turn off the system.
System BIOS versions:
ThinkPad X61 or X61s - BIOS version 1.06 (7NET25WW)
Please
remember that these updates do not solve every possible system blue
screen, but they do resolve several problems related to the Intel Turbo
Memory driver.

X60 Tablet SXGA+ primary, Z61p fully loaded workhorse

Dear Tim,
First off, many thanks for the tips for resolving BSOD with Vista + Turbo Memory on X61. I've been suffering from this BSOD for countless times since I bought in my X61 7673-CW9 in April 2008.
Even prior to having the pleasure to visit this wonderful forum, I followed both steps as indicated, and updated my Intel Turbo Memory driver to 1.5.0.1013 and my BIOS to 7NETB4WW (2.14). However, the BSOD recurrs.
For the past two months, I've recovered my system to factory default settings using Rescue and Recovery for over twenty times, each time with the latest Intel Turbo Memory driver and BIOS. Notwithstanding that, BSOD recurrs.
During these painful experiences, I tried two options: 1) making my X61 up-to-date by using System Update and Windows Update (including Vista SP1 or excluding Vista SP1); 2) keeping my X61 the status as factory default (i.e. without updating through either System Update or Windows Update (the automatic/scheduled update function of both is turned off)). In either case, BSOD recurrs.
I'm 100% positive that the BSOD does not arise from any hardware or software/firmware I install. I never install any hardware (e.g. RAM). And, it is not caused by any software/firmware I install: the clear and unequivocal evidence is that at one time,I encountered BSOD while having restored back to factory setting and booting for the first time.
I live in Taiwan, and I seldom heard this BSOD here.  All of my friends (as most of Taiwan residents) using X61 operate in Traditional Chinese environment, whereas I operate in English environment. In Taiwan, when booting for the first time after purchase/recovery, the Windows Vista Business system provides for lanuage choice (Traditional Chinese or English), and, once chosen, the language cannot be altered later on (unless, of course, the system is restored back to factory default settings).
My system specs are the same as the day I purchased it and are listed below (as I'm not sure if my machine type X61 7673-CW9 is applicable outside Taiwan):
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.4GHz
Memory: 1.00 G.B.
System: Windows Vista Business (32-bit)
Hard Drive: 160 G.B. @ 7,200 r.p.m.
And, of course, with Intel Turbo Memory 1 G.B.
I contacted the Lenovo support staff here in Taiwan for countless times, but they seem to be clueless. I learned that some friends at this forum downgraded their OS back to Windows XP, but I chose not to. The reason is simple: my purchase price for X61 7673-CW9 includes the Intel Turbo Memory, which cannot function under Windows XP (at least so far).
Therefore, I just wish to share my experience here and perhaps I can get some advice from you and other friends here. Any advice will be tremendously and enormously appreciated.

I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old. Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS. After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc. Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
That said, any tips?
Thanks
It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom. I've posted that as another question.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
Thanks again dominic23

Updated to iTunes 11.1 and many of my podcasts were, as far as I can tell, deleted from my account. 'This American Life' in particular, cannot be redownloaded for free and I want the unlistened podcasts I accrued to come back! Any tips or suggestions?

Updated to iTunes 11.1 and many of my podcasts were, as far as I can tell, deleted from my account. 'This American Life' in particular, cannot be redownloaded for free and I want the unlistened podcasts I accrued to come back! I'm also afraid that if I sync my iPod now, the podcasts that I have on there but have been removed from the computer, will also be removed from the iPod.
Any tips or suggestions?

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

My ipad will not let me slide to log in, or power off. i have tried to hold down the sleep and home button at the same time, but that did not work. Do you have any tips for me? Thanks
