Unresponsive Novo Menu When Ethernet Plugged In (u430 Touch)

Hello,
I have an interesting problem with my u430 Touch.  Recently I needed access to the boot menu, and I found that when I use the Novo button with an ethernet cable plugged in it will hang after a variable (but small) amount of time.  
I tested this multiple times and found it only hangs when ethernet is plugged in.  Can someone else try this with their u430 Touch and see if they get the same results?  Perhaps this is a bug in the Novo menu.

You cannot share an IP address amongst two devices without some intelligence on the device you're connecting to. You need load-balancing in there to do that properly.
Picture it this way:
Your MAC sends OUT information on it's highest priority port - in this case en0.
Your router responds to the IP address by using ARP (address resolution protocol) to resvolve the IP address to the interface's MAC address. My guess is the ARP table on your router shows that the IP address resolves to the MAC address of the wireless.
ARP is cached. If you cleared the cache on the router the Ethernet Port may respond to the ARP request and you'll get the routing that you want.
It's not really a workable solution in my opinion - sharing one IP amongst two distinct interfaces. ARP is going to get properly twisted.

  • Problem establishing login screen when ethernet plugged into NetComm NB5Plu

    Problem establishing login screen when ethernet plugged into NetComm NB5Plus4
    I get a flashing folder that does not allow the login page to appear.
    If I remove the ethernet connection then boot-up the system establishes the login page and I can plug the ethernet back in and the system logins in.
    Where should I look to identify the problem, I am thinking it is the OS X install.

    *Stop : 0x00000007E(0x0000005,0X00000000,0xF78FD7C8,0XF78FD4C4) .
    When the system goes down,I have to shut pc down from the power button and when I switch my laptop on I receive an error stating that "system has recovered from a serious error " which has signature of:
    BCCode : 1000007E BCP1:C000005 BCP2:00000000 BCP3:78FD7C8 BCP4:F78FD4C4 OSVer: 512600 Product:256_1
    And error report content is:

    C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\sysdata.xml
    What I have done regarding to try to solve the problem ,but not worked at all:
    1-I have uninstalled Itunes ultimate version(iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) and other Apple related components on my Laptop(apple application support,Apple mobile device support,Apple Software Support,Quicktime etc.)
    2- a-I re-installed all components mentioned on step 1 and plugged my Ipod: It works when I plug for first time,then I sync with my audio,art-work folders.Then I unplug my Ipod to listen music and see my Art-work,when I plug my Ipod for 2nd time to my Laptop,it crashes and that same blue screen error occurs.
    b- I uninstalled all Apple components and plugged my Ipod to my Laptop,it charges the battery but no blue screen occurs.
    3- I reset my Ipod and meanwhile uninstall all Apple components again(exactly like in 1st step) in my laptop,then I re-install all components to my laptop, and follow the same steps as exactly in 2nd step.I plug my Ipod and it works for first time,than I do sync through Itunes again,than I unplug and use my Ipod,when I plug for 2nd time than the same blue screen error appears and laptop crashes.
    4- a- I reset my Ipod and Meanwhile uninstalled all Apple components,I re-installed iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) but the same blue screen occurs.
    b- I uninstall iTunes and plugged my Ipod to my laptop,no blue screen occurs.
    5- I asked my colleague who has MacBook and plug my Ipod to her MacBook, than open Itunes,but Itunes(iTunes 9.0.3 for Mac OS x) can not see my Ipod as device and I am not able to do anything.
    6- I've searched in Apple official websites and Google and many Blogger sites,Fan sites and all other possible technical sites but could not find any solution.
    7- I've contacted(phone call) to the Local(Portugal) Support Apple Support Centre and explained all history of the problem clearly.But they could not help me,they advised the same possible solutions which I've already done and they said that they can not do more.And than they gave me a support mail address to contact.([email protected])
    8- I've sent an email to [email protected], 2 days later they've answered me with the information that they are phone based support therefore they not provide me support.
    Basically I am not able to import or export anything to/from my ipod,anyway all windows is going down.
    It is first time I buy Apple product.My friends who have Apple products were generally positive about them,and I was thinking to by a MacBook as well,but after this problem I got doubts and I am not satisfied and happy at all. Since days I am trying to find solutions and find the exact support contacts to get helped with this problem.But could not reach any information. Now I don't have any positive Idea about Apple products or support service.I went to the Techno-Market which I bought the Ipod to change with an Iphone or at least try to have my money back if not possible to swap it with Iphone,but they've told me that it has been more than 15 days and they can not swap it or refund it,even if it was possible they would not refund it because the very sensitive backside of Ipod has some small but visible scratches.
    Anyway I can see the difficulty of having Apple product,having support of product and finding the right contacts to communicate is not easy and I would really be very happy if anyone could change this idea of mine with helping me out to use my Ipod with peace and without any other problem.
    As you can see,I spent a lot of money to buy it and spent days to find solution to my problem and spent a lot of energy to find right Apple Support contacts to help me with my problem.And I am not able to use my product as I wish.
    Please advise me regarding to solve my problem. I hate to deal with courts and other legal ways to take action in those kind of cases. But if not of course it will be my last option to do it so.
    I am waiting an answer,please try to answer me as soon as you have an answer for me.
    Thanks In advance
    Best Regards
    PS:If you provide me an email address which I can send all print screens and full blue screen error message .txt I'll contact you soon after receiving your contact.

    Make sure you have Itunes downloaded
    Make sure Itunes is the latest version
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)

  • I can not change albums when I plug my Ipod touch into my car.

    When i plug my Ipod touch 3rd gen into my 2010 Scion XD the screen goes white with an icon saying that is plugged in as an accessory. The problem with this is that when an album ends there is no way to flip to a new artist/album or anything without unhooking the ipod. So once you plug the ipod into the car it will only play the album that you already were playing with no option to change it. Is there a setting that i can change so the music touch screen will stay active when plugged into my car so i can flip through my library?
    Thanks

    This can happen if Restrictions are enabled on your iPod Touch and Installing Apps is turned OFF. You'll also find the App Store icon is missing.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions and either disable restrictions or turn "Installing Apps" ON.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Why is it that when I plug my ipod touch into the USB port of my Peugeot 508SW that the device goes into repeat mode and the same song is played continuosly?

    Hi lllaass
    The car handbook certainly states that Ipods can be connected although it doesn't specifically mention which operating systems are supported.  The car system is recognising the ipod and playing one tune continuously but you cannot switch it to a different song.

    When I plug my IPOD touch into my Dell computer it comes up with Judy's IPOD, the click on where it says internal storeage then a folder comes up that says DCIM then click on that and another folder comes up 800AAAAA and when you click on that all you see if pictures.  I am afraid to update the software on the IPOD I am afraid it will erase all my songs.  Does anyone have any idea what the problem or can I update the software without fear of losing all my songs.

    You have to follow these instructions. When they say restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

  • My iPod is Causing my PC to crash when I plug the iPod Touch in.

    I've plugged my iPod Touch into my laptop (USB) port and it immediately caused my laptop to crash.
    I allowed the PC to reboot and tried again in a different port with the same results.
    Any suggestions as what may be the problem.
    Never had a hint before that this might happen.
    The iPod is only 2 months old.
    Thanks.

    Thanks again for your interest in my problem AndrewT.
    Ok you mentioned three things:
    1. Uninstalling the ACER camera.
    2. latest version of iTunes and
    3. Printer.
    Regarding the uninstalling the camera - I haven't done that but worth a try. When I initially plug the iPod in it comes up as a camera (not as an iPod as it should do). I don't use the camera a lot so maybe thats the way to try and see what happens.
    Regarding the latest version of iTunes - yes I've got that no problem and regarding the printer - seldom used and hasn't been used since well before this problem came about.
    I'm getting more convinced that its a Microsoft Update that's causing it. I read somewhere about this but can't remember where now.
    I had to again reload all the software because of other problems i.e. back to original recovery, so while loading the new software I tried the iPod touch and yes it worked. However, with all reloading of sofware there was the usual updating and after loading a number of these updates together I tried again and as expected the blue screen again.
    Needless to say I'm rather frustrated at this outcome but won't give up as yet.
    Thanks for your continued interest. Maybe between us we'll get it solved. It doesn't appear that others have this problem and Apple Support have never heard of it.
