Unable to connect to D-Link DI-624 (ver.C) using iBook G4

This question is on behalf of my friend. I tried to get her iBook G4 onto the D-Link DI-624 Wireless network but was unable to access the internet. Wired is fine though. The router is setup with WEP 40bit ASCII passphrase and is broadcasting the SSID, but for some reason as soon as the iBook's Network DHCP grabs a valid IP address, the wireless connection is lost (ie. antenna dims). Additionally, when the iBook momentarily connects to the wireless network, her Windows PC's lose network connection, then vice-versa. I found this to be very strange, and have never come across this problem before with any other router. Any ideas?
Here's her configs from what I remember:
- WEP 40bit ASCII
- Channel 6
- Router is using DHCP
- 1 Wintel machine hard-wired
- 2 Wintel machines using wireless
- iBook G4 can access any other router perfectly fine (ie. Library, School, Coffee Shops, etc)
Thanks in advance for any help.

I expect you may have figured this out by now...but in case you didn't I had a similar problem getting by iBook back on a DI-624 wireless network.
After much grinding of teeth what ended up working was "simply" resetting the network connection within the iBook's System Preference/Network.
So this is what it finally took me to get back on: I actually reconnected directly to the broadband modem (ethernet) first in order to updated to OS 10.4.4. There are some improvements within security and wireless connections and its been mentioned by a number of others in the discussion groups. There are certainly those who feel the update has created problems but I know plenty of folks who are using it and haven't had any issues.
From the sounds of it you probably know how to reset your iBook network preferences. I also turned off WEP (as suggested by DI-Link) just to make sure I could get the connection back. I also reset the DI-624 to my configuration, which is easy to do within your browser (if you don't have your quick start manual you can get on line from DLink). I then re-configured the iBook's network preferences again to make ApplePort as the priority connection and shut down the laptop.
Powered off the broadband modem for at least a couple of minutes. Powered down the DI-624 for a minute or so and then back on. Powered up the modem. When the modem recycling was completed I powered up the laptop.
At that point the reconnection to the network was back. After I reconnected wirelessly I went back in and reset the WEP. I shut down the laptop, powered down the modem again and back on after a couple of minutes. It seems like a unnessary step but in previous experience recycling the broadband connection got everything working in sync. Powered up the iBook and everythings back to working....knock on wood. It's been working fine for the past couple of weeks without a hitch (or hick-up)

    I have 3 Dell laptops at home and I am unable to connect my iPad 1 to any of them using the USB cable.  If I connect the iPad to any Apple computer using the same USB cable, it works perfectly.  I have installed the latest versions of iTunes and iOS, but still no luck. Apple Store Geniuses helped me determine that it wasn't my iPad causing the problem, but were less helpful when it came to dealing with non-Apple devices.
    Options?

    Does the OS see the iPad at all? In other words does it show up in either the My Computer or Device Manager?
    I've had problems in the past where I had to modify the registry to get my son's iPod to sync with a particular HP laptop.
    If it doesn't show up at all have your tried using an external hub (with or without power)?

  • Unable to Connect to Oracle 10gR1 database from JDeveloper 11g using OCI

    We are migrating our application from OC4J to Weblogic server. As a part, I am trying to create a database connection in JDeveloper 11g (11.1.1.3.0 - Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660) to Oracle 10gR1 database. Previously I had Oracle 10g Client installed in the machine. Created a database connection using OCI driver and when I try to test connect, I got "Test Failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path". I searched through Metalink and forums and one suggestion was to install Oracle 11g Client on the machine where Jdeveloper 11g is installed. I installed 11g R1 client and tried the same test connection using OCI driver. Now I am getting "Test failed: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified" error.
    The same database connection works good with Thin driver with both Oracle 10g client and 11gR1 client.
    Previously I had Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and Oracle 10g Client and I was able to connect to database without any errors.
    Could you provide me the steps for this or if I missed any steps?
    Steps to Replicate:
    For the error: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
    1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
    2) Install Oracle 10g Client on the same machine
    3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
    4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
    5) Test connect to the database.
    ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
    1) Install JDeveloper 11g (With embedded Weblogic Server)
    2) Install Oracle 11gR1 Client on the same machine
    3) Create a database connection in the "Application Resources --> Connection"
    4) Use OCI driver. Enter the host details about the Oracle 10g R1 database
    5) Test connect to the database.
    Note: Tried the same scenarios with Oracle 11gR2 client as well. It was not working at all.
    Any ideas and pointers would be great.

    1. will my problem get solved after i install oracle 11g client on my machine.Yes, your problem should get solved. The version of the Oracle 11g Client must match the version of the JDev's JDBC drivers. Alternatively you may install an Oracle 11g Client and replace JDev's Oracle JDBC drivers with these from the installed client. Please, read carefully my 1st posting above in this thread.
    2. can i patch JDeveloper 11g on my machine to work with 10g client, or can i do the same with 10g client.You might succeed if you replace JDev's built-in JDBC drivers (which are 11g versions) with 10g versions, but I do not recommend you to try that because JDeveloper 11g and ADF 11g may be using some 11g features that do not exist in 10g drivers, so you may have problems.
    I also have PLSql developer installed on my machine and it works well.PL/SQL Developer does not use JDBC drivers, so it is not an relevant example in this case.
    My generall recommendation is to use Oracle JDBC Thin drivers. Oracle claimed that OCI drivers had better performance, but this was really true about earlier releases. Current Oracle 11g JDBC Thin drivers offer excellent performance and they offer all the features of the OCI versions (which was not true about earlier releases). In my opinion, the most important disadvantage of Oracle JDBC OCI drivers is that most versions have native memory leaks so all the RAM would get consumed after long application execution. The fact that WebLogic Server does not offer Oracle JDBC OCI drivers by default anymore says that Oracle discourages the usage of the OCI driver in favour of Thin driver.

  • Unable to connect to the database instance using Enterprise Manager.

    I just install Oracle 10gr2 in my computer and after successful installation created a database instance which also install successfully. I then configure the listener using Net Manager and then start the database instance, the listener and dbconsole, everything seems to work fine and checking the status of this services from the command prompt indicates everything started successfully. But when I try to use Enterprise Manager I was directed to the Database Down Page with a message unable to connect to database instance. I try to use startup and perform recovery but every time I log-in to the database an error message comes out:
    SQLEXCEPTION
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified.
    It seems for Enterprise Manager to connect to the database it needs to access this NLS(National Language Support) data files or specify an environment variable to point to this data files. I am just new to Oracle and I am having difficulty solving this particular problem. Where is this data files located and how do I configure Enterprise Manager to access this NLS data Files?
    Any help however small will be highly appreciated.

    Are you able to connect to the database via SQLPlus?
    What Operating System are you using?
    Assuming Windows, can you RUN regedit to open Windows Registry and check the value or NLS_LANG when you select
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_<your_oracle_home>
    Examples of vaules you may find:
    1. ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.WE8MSWIN1252
    2. AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
    3. AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    4. FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8MSWIN1252
    5. GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252
    If you are not able to connect to SQLPlus, from the command prompt try setting one of the above:
    e.g.
    D:\>set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    D:\>sqlplus /nolog
    SQL>connect sysman/password

  • Unable to connect to Oracle 8i using the JDBC - OCI8

    I am unable to connect to the to the Oracle 8i database using
    JDBC 8.1.5. er. Each time I try I get the message:
    "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc8 in
    java.library.path"
    When I try to establich a "connection" using the connection
    manager with JDeveloper 2.0 I get the message:
    "No ocijdbc8 in shared library path"
    What's the problem? Is it that I do not have the appropriate
    driver? It is unlikely because the thin driver works...
    null

    I dealt with this problem. For some reason OCI drivers
    installation is not included in typiclal Jdev 2.0 instalation.
    (bug?). In your instalation kit find Oracle 8i instalation disk,
    and run the installer on the client machine (i.e. the same
    machine where Jdev is installed where you were not able to
    connect with OCI-8). Choose client installation and choose
    custom installation. Than in the product list choose JDBC
    drivers. Make sure OCI drivers are included. Install it. Now you
    can find file ocijdbc8.dll in your ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
    Now you should be able to connect using OCI-8.
    Best of luck,

  • When I try to connect to a link I receive the message "Search bookmarks and history" and FF won't connect to the link requested

    When I try to connect to a link I receive the message "Search bookmarks and history" and FF won't connect to the link requested. VER FF 3.6.6. Windows7; 64 bit.

    I have currently FF 3.6.8 running under Windows XP 32 bit. I am using Multiproxy Switch ver 1.33 add-on to switch between multiple proxies.
    My FF starting page is http://www.google.com/ncr . When I start Firefox and the actually configured proxy is unreachable, I get the usual message that the page cannot be opened ("Try again"). Then I switch to another proxy or to direct connection. Normally the desired page (google) opens. But in case I switch the proxy before the error message appears, this grayed message "Search Bookmarks and History" appears instead of the URL in the URL input field and I have to retype the URL.
    Remark: I would really like to have this function "Searching Bookmarks and History" available in Firefox, because I often do this kind of search and need 4 clicks to get there (Bookmarks-Organize Bookmarks-Bookmarks Menu-and then input my search criteria).

  • C3-01 "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVICE'

    I have bought the C3 01 about two weeks ago. Im with Tmobile, but I don't have a data plan. I use WLAN WiFi for internet connection. Last week I was able to connect to the OVI store (main page-menu- ovi store). I was able to download a couple of free applications, and after that I have tried to use the ovi store in the same way, but every time I press the OVI store icon, after a couple of second all I get is  "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO SERVICE. TRY AGAIN LATER".
    Using the web search all I get is "UNABLE TO CONNECT". But if I use OPERA MINI I can check my email and access all the other saved websites on the application. I have tried to save OVI store on opera mini but it says:'ovistore is currently not availablefor the opera mini browser".
    Is there anybody that can help me with this?

    If you read my post you would know that that is the main reason why I wrote the post. The OVI browser does not work It says: "Unable to connect to service. Try again later". This happens every time I try to connect with me standing literally 2 ft from my router.
