Website connectivity issue

I am having a strange issue with only one website (www.giantbomb.com). I can connect to the site once a day and for several minutes everything works fine. Usually after watching one video from the site if I try to go to another page on the same site, I get a stalled loading bar in Safari that never moves. I never get a timeout error or an error page. It just sits there.
If I open Firefox, I get the exact same issue. However, if I try to go to the website on my MacBook Pro connected to the same network, it doesn't have any issues at all. So, it must be isolated to the machine I am on (Mac Pro.)
Breakdown of issue:
Connection to website fine for several minutes
After watching a video or surfing for several minutes, I lose connectivity to the site
Firefox and Safari are both affected
A separate machine on the same network connects to the site fine
RESTARTING the computer fixes the problem only temperarily
SLEEPING the computer and bringing it back fixes the problem
Resetting Safari's cache has no effect
Changing my DNS server has no effect
I can not fathom why it does this and it is ONLY this one site (www.giantbomb.com.)
Any clues?

Hi ghelyar,
The BT homehub does not support multicast over wireless but I would say that it is technically possible to take:
ethernet out of the homehub -> wireless bridge -> wireless bridge -> ethernet to STB
however the wireless bridges would need to support IGMP proxying/snooping and also multicast routing.
I've not tried dd-wrt for a long time but it may be worth looking at again as I beleive someone made a Raspberry Pi port which would be ideal!!

Website Connectivity Issues.

Hi there!
Been having some problems with my Internet at the moment, it would appear that some websites my internet struggles to connect to namely;
Twitter
GAME
EA
Hotmail
Other websites such as Facebook and YouTube load perfectly, but specific ones either timeout, or simply take a while to load up.
Doing a ping test on Twitter reveals a lot of timeouts but for every 3/4 timeouts I manage to get a response.
Can provide a lot more information if needed, any help would be needed.
Thanks.

I have just run a traceroute to twitter.com there seems to be some high latency on the UK US backbone, particularly on us.above.net and worse on twitters own servers. This may not be BTs fault. Here's the stats:-

My MacBook Air has recently started having substantial WiFi connectivity issues. How do I fix this?

For the last couple weeks my MacBook Air has started having some mighty substantial connectivity issues.
When I wake it from sleep, or if I'm using it for an extended period (say, more than 5-10 minutes), the connection will become extremely unreliable. This primarily happens with browsers, or the Twitter application. For example, if I start a call on Skype the call will continue to function just fine, but I won't be able to connect to any websites through any browser. I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox while the connectivity problems are occuring. When they do occur, a full shut down and cold boot are required to make it work again for a short while.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've done numerous checks for malware using Clam Xav and Sophos Anti-Virus. (I didn't suspect that this would be the issue, but it was still something that I decided to rule out.) Additionally, I've tried connecting using both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on my wireless router. Neither seems to be more successful than the other. (Note: The 5GHz works perfectly and without interruption on my iPad and desktop PC. The 2.4GHz works perfectly with my iPhone 4S and Xbox 360. I feel that with that in mind, I can safely rule out the router as the root of the problem. Both of these examples go on for very extended periods of time. I game regularly using both my PC and Xbox 360.)

Hi Jollified,
Does your sound work when you try to use head/earphones? If so, try the following:
Plug your Headphones into your Mac.
Play a sound through them (a song for example), then stop the sound.
Make sure 'Preferences' is isn't open. If it is, Quit.
Launch System Preferences > Sounds.
While the Sounds tab is open and set to 'Headphones', pull out the Headphones from the jack.
You should see your Mac reset to 'Internal Speakers'
Also, I see you have tried resetting the PRAM, have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)? Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
As for your MacBook not sleeping when you close the lid, there are many reasons this can occur.
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following:
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

BT Connection Issue

I've recently moved home and have transferred my BT connection, however I cannot get a broadband connection.
I've tried both the BT homehub (HH3) and my original router (Netlink) and neither can connect. I've changed the cable connecting the filter to the router and different ADSL filters.
I've gone through the connection issue checklist and have checked the line using the online option (no fault detected). There are no faults detected in my area and I do not use McAfee.
I've tried both my original username and password and the default one.
The broadband helpline number (0800 111 4567) just leads me in circles, referring me back to the order confirmation menu (order completed on the 23rd).
Is there something obvious I'm missing, or do I need to try harder to get hold of BT?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It does sound like an authentication or misconfiguratuion somewhere, but there is nothing I can do as BT customer.
If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to find the problem.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

"Safari can't find the server" - connection issues under Lion

Hi there,
Since upgrading to Lion, Safari has been displaying this odd and annoying behaviour, where, for some links to some web resources (like maybe 2 clicked links out of 10), it throws up a grey error page telling me it can't find the server (screenshot below):
Normally, this error would be evidience of an intenet connection issue (but it isn't). If I immediately try to find the same resource via another browser (Firefox or Chrome), those other browsers navigate to the site absolutely fine. Although, occasionally (though with less frequency) I'm also getting a similar "Can't find stuff" error with Chrome too.
In the Safari address bar (is this significant?) there isn't even a URL, but a file path to file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources... what does that mean?
Hints from other threads would indicate that this is a Firewall issue, or maybe there's another third-party app causing problem, rather than a problem with Safari under Lion specifically.
But I'm really bugged and irrittate by this. Anyone had a similar experience? Anyone with any ideas? How might I go about finding out what's causing this and fixing it?
Best wishes,

It's most likely a problem with corrupted files in the Safari Cache or corrupted cookies.
Go to Safari menu bar
Click on Safari
Click "Empty Cache"
Restart Safari
If the problem persists...
Go to Safari -> Preferences
Go to privacy
Click "Remove All Website Data"
Restart Safari
Cheers - Lupunus

Can you help with my connection issues

I cannot connect to my Contribute CS3 even though my server is fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I spent the last hour on the phone with my server company and they tried but failed to help me connect.

Please try the following steps.
Delete the existing connection from Edit -> My connection .
Create a new connection and when you Click the Advanced button next to the "How do you connect to your web server?" field in the Connection Information dialog box.
Try toggling the Passive Mode check box (if it is unchecked, check it; if it is checked, uncheck it).
If you are behind a firewall, check the Use firewall/proxy settings when connecting check box and click the Firewall Settings or Proxy Settings button to enter firewall information. Ask your local network administrator for help with these settings.
Once done with the new connection you would be able to connect to your website. For more information on connection issues you may use this link http://helpx.adobe.com/contribute/kb/troubleshoot-connection-problems-contribute.html

TS1317 Internet Connectivity Issue - specifically with the DNS settings

Hi there,
I'm wondering if someone can help me resolve an internet connectivity issue on my MacBook Pro.
It appears to be a problem specifically with the DNS settings. I am connected to the internet but can only reach a website by typing in the IP address, not the domain name. The error messahe says: "Unable to resolve server's DNS address."
Regardless of whether I use Wifi, 3G modem or cable, i get the same error.
Operating System is Mac OSX Version 10.6.7
Please help!
Thanks

It sounds like your MacBook Pro has either incorrect or missing DNS IP address information in it network profile. Let's start with your wireless connection. You would find these in System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > DNS tab
If your main Internet router is performing as the DHCP server, it would provide the DNS IP addresses (typically from your ISP) on this tab. You may have two or more addresses listed. If they are grayed, that means that the addresses are coming from the DHCP server.
In the following example screen shot, I am using DNS servers provided by OpenDNS. Notice that they are grayed as they are being provided by my main Internet router. Again, these should be either ones provided by your ISP or ones you purposely set up, like my OpenDNS ones.

Troubleshooting for RPC over https (Outlook Anywhere) connection issue

RPC over https (ROH), well known as Outlook Anywhere, is more frequently used. Even in Exchange 2013, Outlook no longer connects CAS server via MAPI.
In this thread, we will discuss about the troubleshoot checklist about the RPC over https (Outlook Anywhere) connection issue. In order to make it more logical, I’d like to divide the whole troubleshooting to the following processes:
1. Client side to CAS side
2. CAS side to MBX side
[Issues between Client side to CAS side]
In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default. Different from this, Outlook Anywhere in Exchange 2007 and 2010 need to be manually enabled. Thus, please firstly check if the RPC over HTTP component has been installed:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Programs and Features.
In the left pane of Server Manager, click Features.
In the right pane, click Add Features.
Check if the RPC over HTTP component has been selected.
If the ROH connectivity issue only happens on certain users, the property MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHTTP can be checked:
Get-CASMailbox name | fl MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp
2. Confirm if Exchange server is blocked. Ping the Exchange server FQDN on client machine and confirm if it can return the proper IP address.
3. Check if the RPC Proxy server is responding correctly:
rpcping -t ncacn_http -s ExchServer -o RpcProxy=RPCProxyServer -P "user,domain,*" -I "user,domain,*" -H 2 -u 10 -a connect -F 3 -v 3 -E -R none
If 200 code returns, the test is successful.
4. Check if Outlook Anywhere host names are added in the certificate:
To get host names, the following command can be used: get-outlookanywhere |fl *hostname
5. To use the Shell to test Outlook Anywhere connectivity, use the
Test-OutlookConnectivity cmdlet.
[Issues between CAS side to Mailbox side][RZ1]
A. Check if it can connect to store’s port:
RpcPing –t ncacn_http –s ExchangeMBXServer -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyServer -P "user,domain,password" -I "user,domain,password" -H 1 –F 3 –a connect –u 10 –v 3 –e 6001
If it returns as following: Completed 1 calls in 60 ms 16 T/S or 60.000 ms/T, it means the RPC Ping Utility test succeeds.
B. Check if it can Connect to DsProxy Service:
RpcPing –t ncacn_http –s ExchangeMBXServer -o RpcProxy=RpcProxyServer -P "user,domain,password" -I "user,domain,password" -H 2 –F 2 –a connect –u 10 –v 3 –e 6004
If it returns as following: Completed 1 calls in 60 ms 16 T/S or 60.000 ms/T, it means the RPC Ping Utility test succeeds.
C. Check the following registries:
[Disable the auto update]
1).Open Regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeServiceHost\RpcHttpConfigurator\RpcHttpConfigurator
2).Set the PeriodicPollingMinutes value to 0.
[Check the RpcProxy ValidPorts]
1).On the RPC proxy server, start Registry Editor (Regedit).
2). In the console tree, locate the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy
3). In the details pane, right-click the ValidPorts subkey, and then click Modify.
4). In Edit String, in the Value data box, type the following information:
ExchangeServer :6001-6002; ExchangeServerFQDN :6001-6002; ExchangeServer :6004; ExchangeServerFQDN :6004
Note:
ExchangeServer is the NetBIOS name of your Exchange server. ExchangeServerFQDN is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your Exchange server. If the FQDN that is used to access the server from the Internet differs from the internal FQDN, you must use
the internal FQDN.
[Check the 6004 port settings in registry]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters
Value name: HTTP Port
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0x1772 (Decimal 6002)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeSA\Parameters
Value name: Rpc/HTTP NSPI Port
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 0x1774 (Decimal 6004)
D. Check if the RPC ports are used by other applications instead of Exchange by using : netstat –o
Then it will return all active TCP connections and the process ID (PID) for each connection.
After that, please check the application based on the PID on the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager and confirm if it’s Exchange server.
Additionally, ExRCA is a perfect tool to test the whole connection between client side and Mailbox side:
https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com/
1. On the ExRCA website, under Microsoft Office Outlook Connectivity Tests, select Outlook connectivity, and then select Next at the bottom of the page.
2. Enter the required information on the next screen, including email address, domain and user name, and password.
3. Choose whether to use Autodiscover to detect server settings or to manually specify server settings.
4. Accept the disclaimer, enter the verification code, and then select Verify.
5. Select Perform Test.

I've just restored the M11 to Windows XP with the disks provided and Outlook Anywhere connected without issue. As strange as it sounds, this looks to be isolated to this particular model of laptop and Windows 7.
I've used the same Enterprise copy of Windows 7 and Office on a variety of laptops and pc's and none have come across this problem. The only commonality I can see is the hardware and OS.
Aftery trying to troubleshoot this unsuccessfully with Microsoft tech support for a few hours, they eluded to the fact that this +could+ be a hardware related problem. (driver, adapter properties, etc)

Audio Interface Connection Issue

     I have recently purchased Native-Instruments' Komplete Audio 6 for production use in Logic Pro 9 and I have been experiencing a connection issue. The USB connection light on the interface itself blinks whenever it is plugged in and my Mac Book Pro Retina cannot detect the device whatsoever. This means, I believe, that it is receiving power. I have been able to connect the two devices for very short periods of time (maybe 5 minutes) before it disconnects and returns to a blinking pattern sending an error message that the interface returned -2. (Whatever that means)
     I have contacted Native-Instruments directly about the issue and they only respond with "update your firmware to the latest version." This would be fine except that the interface has to be connected to run a firmware update. (If that even is the problem) I have also deleted and reinstalled the driver/firmware multiple times.
     I have gone through and completed all of the NI's websites troubleshooting guide to no avail and am becoming desperate for answers.
     Is there any input that could help me with this endeavor, or perhaps a troubleshoot that I have overlooked?
thanks.

If you are connecting the Audio 6 (or any other USB2 Audio/Midi device for that matter) via USB to a USB3 port on your Mac.. (which I am assuming you are doing..) try using a Powered USB2 hub.. and connect the Live 6 to that and then connect the Hub to the USB3 port... Make sure you don't connect anything else to the hub.. so the Live 6 gets the max power from the hub...
Using a powered Hub with a USB2 device to connect to a USB3 port on a Mac or PC.. often helps out issues that are caused by the lower power that a USB3 port provides...
Its not a certain fix but often it works...
if it does work, you can then update the firmware which may alleviate the need for the powered hub.

Home Hub 3 type a connection issues

I have just recontracted and purchased the HH3, prior I had the HH2
I am having alot of wifi connection issues were I never had with the HH2
My Humax freeview box will not connect automatically and when I try to force it manually, it takes about 4 attempts to connect.
My PS3 connects fine to the PSnetwork but when I play battlefield 3 multiplayer it refuses to connect to EA servers most of the time, occassionally it will connect but then the game is practically unplayable due to lag
I NEVER had any of these issues with my HH2
The HH3 firmware is: Version 4.7.5.1.83.8.57.1.3 (Type A)
I have had this HH connected to the internet for over a week.
I have tried to open some ports for my PS3, but they still show as closed when I check.
Pretty annoyed about this because I thought the HH3 was supposed to be better. Have I wasted my money?

This page should help with port forwarding.

The HH3 is no better, and people do report that they have problems with it.

Virtual Machine - Connectivity Issues - West US

I have 4 VM running in same Virtual Network hosted in West US. I have been working on these VM for last 2-3 days. However, I am not able to connect to these VM for the past 6 hours. In the management
portal also I am not getting options to connect, restart etc.
Is there any outage in West US data center or is something in Azure West US environment causing connectivity issues?
Thanks,

I have been down for over 30 dang hours, and my configuring tab just continues to load and not let me do a thing to change tier, which in another topic I created someone said to change it and change it back to fix it. I can't get the darn thing to stop doing
the loading. It does not do anything, and I have been waiting for so dang long for this crap to work. What the heck is going on?
I added an extra vm just before this happen to have availability setup, because it warns that not having 2 vm's will cause more downtime. Actually the problem started before I added the extra VM, but I thought I was getting downtime from one VM. I think
the extra VM is keeping me from changing tiers, but still I can't the thing to finish loading the website VM to even do a thing with it. It just like Microsoft is keeping me from having access.
Edit: I just got it back to the way I had, but the loading is still not working, and I can't change the tier worth crap. It just hangs on the loading. This is BS.

Website connections suddenly removed - help!

Having used CS5 without issue for a year, I awoke this morning to see that CS5 has completely removed all of my website connections which I was using without any problems only last night.
Can anyone advise how to restore these connections? I've tried to create new connections, but the data I used last year to create my connections is no longer sufficient, as CS5 now demands to know which 'folders' are being used. This was never asked before. I'm foxed.
I need to edit my websites now and have just been given a US-based 9a.m. - 5 p.m. telephone number by someone whose mother-tongue isn't english and who can't help me.
What's the quickest way around this?
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help.

Satellite P50T-A-125 - Wi-Fi Connectivity issues

I am having major issues connecting to WiFi with a Satellite P50t-A-125 laptop.
We have 3 of these laptops in the house, but only having WiFi connectivity problems with one of them.
It doesn't matter where the laptop is located (i.e. house, hotel, overseas etc ), the problem is the same.
It will connect to the WiFi local 'hot spot' / hub, but will not connect to the internet and the "limited connectivity" message comes up.
This is a very annoying and time consuming problem, any help or advice in resolving it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards - SSG.

Hi
I think you should start with WLan driver update.
Mostly such limited connection issues could be solved by Wlan driver updates.
From my knowledge the notebook was equipped with Intel Wireless-N 7260 Plus Bluetooth Wlan card
The newest driver for this Intel page could be downloaded from Intel website:

G4 (10.4.11) airport (9.52) wifi connectivity issue w WPA access point

I am struggling to resolve a wi-fi connectivity issue between a G4 imac with airport card and a netgear wireless-n access point.
The set up is as follows - the broadband comes into a Netgear router (DG834Gv5)which my Intel imac connects wirelessly to. Two daughter's den is away downstairs so I run an ethernet cable from the main netgear router to a netgear Pro-safe wireless access point (WNAP210) as an extender (we live on a houseboat so there are metal bulkheads and the like inbetween.
In the den older daughters G5 wirelessly connects to the Netgear access point easily through a WPA-PSK connection.
Younger daughters G4 running 10.4.11, with original airport card running firmware 9.52 (airport admin utility 4.2) refuses with the 'wrong password' error (it isn't - I have checked 50x) or sometimes just 'there was an error joining'.
It can see the network strongly (the airport menubar icon goes full, then cuts, then flashes on, then drops) but refuses any traffic.
This G4 can however connect, weakly, with my upstairs router which is also WPA-PSK protected (same password)!
I have read all the forums on this and despite some non-expert posts muddling the issue I believe that this SHOULD be possible. Not WPA2 I know but basic WPA.
In addition the options in the netgear extender are b&g (like upstairs which works), g or n. So I have selected b&g - no difference.
Currently I have had to set a separate channel for her and leave it unsecured which isn't a long term option (I am just hoping that even the cleverest war-driver cant sneak in through the extender, back up to the traffic between my Intel and the main router !!?)
Can anyone suggest what I might be missing in the conjuration (sic, ahem) configuration settings either on the G4 or the Netgear box ?
Is it enough to turn the broadcasting of the open channel name off and so render it invisible ?
Thanks in advance for any expert person's attention

hi kathryn
did it have to be the Telekom, by all means??
anyway, first of all a link to a video where a german comedian writes a letter to steve jobs demanding he chose any carrier but the DTAG for the iPhone distribution in germany - really funny!

OK, I´m currently downloading the speedport manual from their website and will look through it, in order to see if there´s something in there..
as a first guess I´d try looking at the wireless prefs of that speedport box. I guess it supports by default 802.11a/b/g, whereas the G4 only does 802.11b (the "normal" airport). Try selecting only the 802.11b portion from the speedport (that makes networking somewhat slower for airport express computers, but shoudn´t be a problem since it´s still at least as fast as basic DSL service (11MBit vs 2 or 6 MBit)
