Westel 7500 DSL Router/Modem: Cannot connect to PPPOE server

Westel 7500 DSL Router/Modem: Cannot connect to PPPOE server
My DSL connection periodically slows down to a crawl [less than 56kbps actual transfer rate].
When I reset my DSL Modem it takes 30 MINUTES to 4 HOURS to reconnect.
The Main status screen shows DSL connected at 1700/448 kbps.
Advanced status WAN Status shows DSL connected but PPPOE not connected.
I cannot ping the ISP router or the DNS Server.

Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.
Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.
Hmm...
#1 Did you try connecting your modem directly to the NID?
Points to: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317
#2 If not, please do and retest those margins and Line Attenuation.

Cannot connect to PPPoE server with a Linksys WRT54G router

Hi everyone, I really hope someone can help me out, soon.
I went out yesterday and bought a Linksys router, as in my previous experience of using their products, I never had any trouble, but looking back, I think that may have been because I was using an ISP that used DHCP which is obviously more 'user friendly'.
I have an internet connection, but, at the moment, can only connect directly to my Siemens modem. When I put the router in the middle, it acts like it's not even there. I have only tried a wired connection so far.
I have tried installing the Linksys software on my flatmate's Windows machine, but that just hangs and continually asks for a password, (I have tried entering different ones, but to no avail).
The ISP is called Alice, (a German company).
Hoping someone can help, soon.
Thanks.

Thanks for your responses people. I have since figured out how to get to the Linksys web admin site, and I also have the wireless connection to my MB up and running.
The remaining problem is that my flatmates lovely old Windows XP laptop (wired only) cannot now connect. I am pretty sure it is not an issue with the router, but her Windows machine is all in German, and my German is ok, but dealing with techie stuff is another matter.
Any ideas?

Networking - No Internet - Cannot Connect to the Server

I have an old Intel Mac Mini running Leopard (10.5.8, I think) and connected to a wifi network created by a Time Capsule connected to a DSL router. I use the Mini (connected to a widescreen TV) mostly as a media center for Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, and iPhoto. The wifi network works fine for my laptop and iPhone, etc., but for some time now neither Safari nor Software Update has been able to access the internet from the Mac Mini. Instead I get a message that 'Safari cannot connect to [the URL] because Safari cannot connect to the server', and a recommendation to check my internet connection and try again. But I appear to be connected to my wifi network, Network Diagnostics says my internet connection appears to be working normally, and--most important--iTunes DOES connect to the internet to download podcasts etc. without any problems. I went to Network Preferences > Security > Firewall and found that iTunes was set to allow connections while Safari was set to block them--but authorizing Safari to allow connections didn't fix the problem even after a restart. (Also, because Software Update doesn't show up in Applications or Utilities, there doesn't seem to be any way to select Software Update under the firewall, which is understandable but also suggests that the problem is elsewhere.) So I turned the firewall off entirely and restarted but that didn't help either. Does anyone have any idea what to do? Thanks.

Camelot-
Thanks. I see it but I don't know what it means: The pane is set to configure proxies manually (the only other option is to configure using a PAD file). There nothing checked under 'Select a protocol to configure' and nothing entered in the 'FTP Proxy Server' box. In the 'Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts and Domains' box there are two entries (separated by commas) for '*.local' and 'nnn.nnn/nn' (with the n's representing numbers). The 'Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)' checkbox is checked. Does anything here sound problematic, or is there anything else I can check? Also, FYI, iTunes stopped connecting too after I had started downloading small podcasts individually to check the connection after making various changes to the firewall (but restoring the firewall back where it was didn't get iTunes back). Thanks very much.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

System Update -- Cannot connect to proxy server - SOLVED

I'm on a ThinkPad T61 running Windows Vista. When I try to download from System Update, I always get the error message "Cannot connect to proxy server."
I have tried connecting to the Internet directly via Ethernet rather than through a wireless router--it doesn't make any difference.
I have also uninstalled System Update and then installed the version I downloaded from lenovo.com--same result.
System Update is an exception in Windows Firewall, and I have even tried running System Update with Firewall disabled--ditto.
Can someone please help me?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have discovered one other potential cause of this behaviour.
If your computer is attached to a Domain, ensure you are connected to the Domain using a profile that has administrator rights when attempting these upgrades.
I was using a local profile with administrative rights, on a network connection that was outside of the corporate LAN, and I was getting the "Cannot connect to proxy server" error.
When I connected to our Corporate LAN and logged on to the machine with an administrative profile, the Proxy Server error went away, and I was then able to connect and download my required updates.
Just an FYI if you are doing this inside a large, firewalled LAN running from Active Directory.

Connection Error, cannot connect to game server

I Just updated to iOS 8.1. When I tried to play WordRoll I got an error message, Connection Error, Cannot connect to game server.
ave researched some answers and have tried several, log out then soft reset, delete app and reinstall, reset wireless, nothing seems to work.

I'm not sure. Prior to last Wendesday our net connection was fine, but from Wednesday evening it's been decidedly flakey during the evenings
Oh & I'm using a HH2 & am on Total Broadband option 3. I've also tried the Leatrix Latency Fix (several months ago) & have turned off the router for several mins (on Thursday evening). I've been able to connect again to the servers this morning (as I did yesterday morning). Here's the pathping (sorry for it being an image, I can't work out how to copy & paste from the dos box & don't really want to copy it out), my HH's saying I'm getting 7,616kps down & 448 kps up, Speedtest.net's saying 6.34Mb/s down & 0.38Mb/s up (now).

BEFW11S4 v4 cannot connected to outside server

Recently i want to play one game on test server, but cannot connected to the server, i checked the test server ip receiving & send by typing ping ip in command prompt, the result is 100%loss. I have try many other ways and i know it's not my computer's problem.
Also, I try DMH option in advence interface, Still didnt work out.
Than I go to the Forwarding option, now this is my problem, I donno wut kind of application did the test server use, and i donno how to set this up.
Help!!

As you are not able to ping the ip address,open the router setup page and Disable Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
For the Game you are trying to play,You need to open ports for that particular game on the router..Try this link.

Why are sent emails from mac mail going to out box and message saying cannot connect to ATT server?

I receive emails via ATT to my mac mailbox. But when I send an email it goes to the out box and I get a message that it cannot connect to the server?
The genius bar said that APPLE and ATT were working on this, but very frustrating. Any suggestions?

Same is happening with me. Was having intermittent DSL service - called AT&T to rectify.
After the internet was back up and running, I could no longer send outgoing mail from my Mac Mail 5.3 application. I didn't change any settings or update any software, yet the IT person i was talking to (the same who corrected my internet issue) was saying it was a Mail problem.
I disagree considering it was working 1/2 hour before we started our conversation!
Any insight would be helpful.
Definitely set up the way AT&T suggested!

Have you tried rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again - or temporarily disabling your firewall or anti virus software?
Restart or reset the iPad?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
Below is a summary of the issue:
After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
    "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
    "Unable to retrieve all data."
    The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
Other Observations   -
This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
I am sharing my finding.
1. First install the
KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

Hi,
Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.
This particular BISM file can't be saved without getting the error message "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."
BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?
Cheers!

The restor pocess did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the server - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Experience

Hi all
I've been running Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Essentials Experience in test for a Windows 8.1 client environment, on an HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. Overall I've found the Essential Experience set-up over WHS2011 and WHSv1 okay; still looking to extract
any real value over the former versions.
This box has been up and running for a few months now, with client backups of a Win 8.1 box scheduled and running successfully every day. However when trying to conduct any file restores from the backups, to the client, I receive an error dialog once I go
through motions from the Dashboard:
On the 'Devices' tab, right-click the appropriate client and select 'Restore files or folders for the computer'
'Restore Files of Folders' dialog pops up, asking me to 'Choose a backup' from the list of all the backups that have run
Select any one in the list - have tried numerous backups; automatic, manual, etc. same result every time
Brings up the dialog to 'Choose a volume', choose either C: or D: partitions of the same fixed drive - again, no difference which one I choose, the outcome is the same
'Opening the volume' dialog starts, with progress bar, runs to about 4% complete the pops up the dialog 'The restore process did not succeed'. Full error in the dialog, "The restore process did not succeed because your computer cannot connect to the
server. Make sure that the computer is connected to the networkm and then try again
If my computer cannot connect to the server - how can I get that far? How can I open the dashboard, select a client, select from a list of backups, select a volume to restore, etc. What is going on here?

Hi,
Please check if a "host" entry for the server is added to the client. For more detailed information, please refer to the threads below:
