Why won't a Windows 7 client connect to my web server?

I've got 5 Mac clients that can connect to my Snow Leopard server. They use file sharing, iCal, and web services.
We're trying to put a Windows 7 client on the network to use just file sharing and web services. Unfortunately, I can't get the Windows client to connect to the server at all.
We're using an Airport Extreme as a local network router. All devices are successfully connecting to this device.
When I try to access web services on the server using the Windows 7 client, I get an error message that the server is inaccessible.
Anyone know what might be different about how the Windows device is accessing the server vs how the Mac devices are?

How are you trying to connect to it? Just typing in its web address in a browser?
Is your DNS configured correctly?

Why won't my windows 8 pc connect to my new airport extreme

Both I phones, ipad and 2 MacBooks are connected. Pc recognizes network but won't conmect. I named the network the same as last router.

The iDevices have a user-friendly feature that detects and connects to the Airport - you can also configure it this way.
When you set up the Airport Extreme you would have specified a password and password type (the default I believe is WPA2).
On your Windows device when you click on the Airport Wireless Network on your system tray (bottom right) do you get the password prompt?
If not, right-click the WiFi icon on the system tray and go to Open Network and Sharing Center>Manage Wireless Network and then click right-click the WiFi network there and click on remove - This will remove settings for it that are on your machine.
Then go back to your task tray and single-click the WiFi icon and try and connect again. Hopefully you'll get the password prompt and be able to enter the key/password to access your WiFi.
If not, let me know.

Dreamweaver (on Windows 7) wont connect to IIS (v7) Server using "FTP over SSL/TLS..."

I am evauating wether to purchase Dreamweaver CS6...
Dreamweaver CS6 trial (on Windows 7) wont connect to IIS (v7) Server using "FTP over SSL/TLS (explicit encryption)". I have a NEW Godaddy SSL certificate installed on the IIS server.
On connecting Dreamweaver states: "Server Certificate has expired or contains invalid data"
I have tried:
-ALL the Dreamweaver Server setup options
-Using multiple certificates (tried 2048 bit and 4096 bit Godaddy SSL certificates)
-Made sure the certificate 'issued to' domain name matches my domain name.
I am able to connect no problem using Filezilla, with equivalent Filezilla setting "Require explicit FTP over TLS". I can also connect fine using Microsoft Expression web.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
My comments:
1) You should update your tread (forums.adobe.com/thread/889530) to reflect that it still occurs on CS6 (I had already read it but figured it was an old tread and thus should be fixed by now).
2) You said “These warnings will also pop up for your users if you have a store saying the SSL certificate does not match the domain/ip and this can make users checking out in a storefront very nervous” . This does not seem to be correct – my https pages display properly using the same Godaddy certificate … using IE:
3) Godaddy is not my host (I use Amazon AWS) – but the SSL certificate is from them.

Can a Snow Leopard client connect to a Lion Server?

I have an XSAN setup with two Mac Mini servers.
I have a few Xserve lying around and I want to make use of them.
One Duo Core which is not working at the moment. I think I can install Lion on that one? Right?
Then I have two G5 - none intel, which I'm thinking I'll reinstall Snow Leopard on and use them as clients.
Can they connect to a Lion Server? I have a few XSAN licenses left which I think I need for OS's older than Lion?
I short, can a Snow Leopard client connect to a Lion Server?

One Duo Core which is not working at the moment. I think I can install Lion on that one? Right?
You can't install Lion on a Core Duo-based system It requries Core2 Duo as a baseline. The Core Duo is a 32-bit chip whereas the Core2 Duo is 64-bit.
Then I have two G5 - none intel, which I'm thinking I'll reinstall Snow Leopard on and use them as clients.
Nope, again. Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based system. The highest you can go with the PowerPC machines is Leopard (10.5.x)
Can they connect to a Lion Server? I have a few XSAN licenses left which I think I need for OS's older than Lion?
This may be irrelevant given the above, but define 'connect' please. There are a myriad of ways of 'connecting' a client to a server. In many cases they don't have to be the same OS, platform, processor or anything else (how many web servers do you think are running Mac OS X to match your client?

I'm using firefox version 6 and for the last three days the add-ons manager page won't load. my question is why won't the add-ons page load? is the server down on your end?

What is required to Exchange integration work - (Can't connect to Exchange Web Server)?

Hi guys,
We have just 'beaten' our Lync installation until it decided to work with mobility, however the clients (IOS) complain that it "Can't connect to Exchange Web Server". Entirely possible its our own fault!
My question is:
What exactly do I need to configure to make this work?
DNS records,
Firewall rules,
etc.
We are running:
Exchange 2010 on-premise
TMG 2010
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
The Lync 2010 mobile client for iPhone and iPad has a Meeting tab that lists meetings for the day from the Exchange calendar.
The client uses simple Exchange Autodiscover processes to determine the location of the Exchange server of the user who is signed in. The SIP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) of the user is used in the attempt to discover the Exchange Web Services (EWS) endpoint.
However, if the user’s SIP URI and email address are different, the Autodiscover process will fail, the Meeting tab will be blank, and Exchange Unified Messaging (UM) voicemail in the Phone tab will not sync.
For disjointed email and SIP URIs, the Lync 2010 mobile client for iPhone and iPad lets the user specify a different set of credentials for Exchange integration. For the Exchange Autodiscover process to work correctly, the necessary DNS records must be available.
To confirm that Autodiscover is working, use Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analzyer at http://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com (http://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/)
In addition, please also refer to this document
Lync 2010 Integration. Hope helps.

Connection from the web server to the database which is situated in another machine.

Thanks for the reply.
I need to know, whether there shold be a physical connection between the web server and database machine? or can we connect to the database machine through the web, if the database machine has a domain name? if there is a physical connection, we can use the jdbc/odbc connection. but if we are connecting through the web, how can I estblish the connection using a JDBC/ ODBC connection?
Regards,
George

As long as there's a network connection between the two machines, you should be able to make the connection. I'm not sure what the difference between a 'direct connection' and a 'connection through the web' is-- are you actually running a network cable from one machine to another?
When you cannot make the connection, are you able to do a 'tnsping' on the target database?
When you say 'connecting through the web', is it possible that you're going through a firewall? If so, the firewall may be blocking the ports you need to communicate on.

Why won't siri on my iphone connect phone calls using ios7?

Why won't siri connect phone calls using ios7?

I have the same issue. So frustrating! I think I found a fix. It's not perfect but it works to get Siri, google maps and phone calls working all at the same time which are the most important things to me. After you start the car, go to settings on uconnect. Scroll down to the bluetooth settings. There are 2 tabs here. 1 for voice and 1 for audio. I'm doing this from memory so someone call it out if I have that wrong. Each will say "connected" in red once your iphone automatically pairs to uconnect. In the audio tab, press on the name of your phone. This will disconnect only the audio portion and leave the voice portion connected. You can now use Siri through your car speakers! Calls will still work too. Google maps will also give directions.
This all works great until you turn off the car at which point the setting will be forgotten and will have to be repeated. It's important to keep in mind that if you now play music or a podcast off your iphone it will emanate from the phone's speaker, not your car speakers. This doesn't impact me as I'll usually be listening to sirius or fm radio when I'm driving anyway. Just like when you receive a call, siri will silence sirius until you're done with siri. Same with google maps.
What this tells me is if Apple or (less likely) Chrysler ever add an option to save your bluetooth device as a voice only and not a voice&audio bluetooth device that uconnect would finally be usable with siri. I guess this means we can be more specific in our requests to apple and chrysler to resolve this issue. Hope this helps!

Windows 7 Clients Not Working With Web-Auth

I am using 5508 controllers, configured for WEB-AUTH passthrough, Windows XP clients work fine but Windows 7 clients are hit and miss getting redirected to the splash screen.
The login page is customised showing T's & C's with two buttons Except or Reject.
Do I need to Pre-Auth with ACL's? Has anyone had similar issues, or any good doc's etc.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Jay

Nicolas,
Many thanks for your relpy, the problem is that this is a guest network that's also avalable to the public and I dont have any control over the end clients.
After doing a quick search on the net I found this.
NCSI : Uses a combination of DNS and/or HTTP look ups to tell if you are connected to the Internet. The way NCSI does this is either via a HTTP request for http://www.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt or a DNS look up for dns.msftncsi.com that resovles to 131.107.255.255.
NCSI does this whether you are logged on or not.
Do I need to Create a Preauthentication ACL on the Guest WLAN interface:-
Configure a preauthentication ACL on the WLAN to allow wireless clients to allow:-
1. Permit DNS resolution (UDP/53) to 213.199.181.90
2. Permit TCP port 80 to 131.107.255.255

When Firefox shows me an update and asks if I'd like to update, I click continue, but it doesn't update. It just goes to a "software update" window and says "connecting to the update server..." and then doesn't do anything else. It never updates. HELP!

When I sign on to Firefox, a "Software Update" pops up and asks if I'd like to update Firefox. I click Yes/Continue and when I do, the page says "Downloading Firefox" - connecting to the update server... - but it never finishes. It continually shows the blue/white striped line.

Start at '''http://www.mozilla.com''' and download the latest
version. At the completion of the download '''don't let the setup
start Firefox for you''', when the setup ends, start Firefox in your
normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts.
:Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
:On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
:On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit
'''Permission errors on Mac:'''
"If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. '''Do not let the uninstall remove remove anything but Firefox itself'''; otherwise, you will lose your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.
If you can't download as mentioned above, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install as seen above
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

Finding IP of clients connected to a particular server

Hi,
How can we trace the IP of a client connected to the server and based on that deny access to a particular IP address?

Did you really read the link? The query that is given there needs to be in a login trigger so the IP address is visible for each session in v$session.
Yes, of course, if you just run that query at a SQL*Plus prompt, it will show you your IP address - that is the point.
Once you can see the IP address in v$session, you can deny access to a specific IP in the login trigger.

Why are all my Apple devices not connecting to the web?

I have an Airport express and has been working fine up until recently. Now none of my Apple devices are connecting to the web. They all find the network no problem and all connect however they will not connect to the internet. The strange thing is that our Windows laptop works fine but absolutly nothing from Apple, this includes a 2011 MacBook pro, iphone 3gs, ipod touch, Apple tv and 2x 2nd gen ipads. I have reset the airport and set up a new network, it worked for one day and is back to how it was. Any advice would be great

I seem to be having a similair issue. I have an AirPort Extreme and my iMac connects fine but now my Kindle and Netflix are unable to connect to the Internet? They see my network but just can't connect to the internet?
I used to have my cable modem connected to a Vonage phone router, which then connected to my Airport. Everything worked fine then. I recently canceled my Vonage service and removed the phone router. Now my cable modem is connected directly to my Airport. Did removing the phone router casue my problem? Do I need to re-set something to get my kindle and Netflix to work again?

Why won't a Windows 7 client connect to my web server?
