Wifi disconnects after connecting for a few seconds [SOLVED]

I have an interesting situation and perhaps you guys can give me a hand.
I'm installing Arch on a system that only has a WiFi; no big deal.
So, I get the live CD and
1. Start it and choose the network install (that's the only choice for this CD)
2. Go to tty2 and issue the following commands:
a. ifconfig wlan0 up
b. iwlist scan and I get:
wlan0 Scan completed :

That's a good sign
3. Issue the command to link
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid ITTwo-wifi key "s:bbR\:\)cri2rr" retry 7
4. Test for association with iwconfig wlan0:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"ITTwo-wifi"

Tx excessive retries:1 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
looks good so I do : dhcpcd wlan0
and it fails, over and over and over ...
Then after much testing I realized that if I issue the iwconfig wlan0 say 5 seconds apart on the first one it shows, as above, that is connected
and in the second one
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:6262-525C-3A5C-2963-7269-3272-72
Power Management:on
It's not associated !!!
I have exhausted testing options to no avail?
Am I missing something obvious ... or not so obvious?
Any help/ideas will be appreciated.

The card is a Linksys and the chipset is recognized as : Linksys WUSB54GC v3 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2070L]

Thank you for the reply guys!!
@treysis, In the logs I got an error something like "<eissid> deauthenticated (reason 6)" or something to that effect and I was wondering what that means... I suppose you are correct and that the system is trying to tell me that I need to use wpa_supplicant. I hope that's part of the install CD
I'll give it a try and I'll report back .
Thanks for the help and ideas.

Error -63043: FPGA disconnects after running for a few seconds

Hello,
I face the following problem whenever I try to run a FPGA VI directly from my host PC onto my PXI 7831R through the ethernet.
Initially, MAX shows my remote PXI system as 'Connected', and the FPGA VI compiles fine.
But when I hit the 'Run' button, the VI seems to run fine for 3-4 seconds, after which it hangs (screenshot attached). A couple of seconds later, it returns the following message :-
" LabVIEW FPGA called another software component and that component returned the following error
Error code: -63043
NI-RIO FPGA Communications framework: The session is invalid. The target may have reset or been rebooted. Check the network connection and retry the operation. "
The VI continues to run on the FPGA, but I can't control it anymore from my host-PC. Even MAX shows the remote system as disconnected, after this error occurs. All I am left to do is to reboot my host-PC as well as the remote PXI target; to reach the beginning of this problem.
I have checked the NI-RIO settings. Both my host-PC as well as remote PXI system have the same NI-RIO 3.0.0 version installed. I am running LabVIEW 8.6 .
Can anyone help ?

Hi everyone, I have the same problem regarding the 63043 error code
I´ve simplified my FPGA vi up to a simple write and read program of a port, as shown in the attachment, but I still have the same error.
It´s interesting that the program runs, note in the jpg file that the while loop counter suddenly stops at Numeric=10, it means the program ran 10 iterations. Also the input port succesffully read the pin value, this meas that the program ran properly, but the SBRIO rebooted when Numeric was 10 and the target device disconnected from the project, i wonder why?
The target device is an sbRIO-9632 , serial number 01452AC3 with the following software installed:
NI-RIO 3.4.0 - January 2010
DataSocket for LabVIEW Real-Time 4.7.0
EPICS Server I/O Server 1.6.1
LabVIEW PID and Fuzzy Logic Toolkit 9.0.0
LabVIEW Real-Time 9.0.1
Language Support for Japanese 9.0.1
Language Support for LabVIEW RT 1.0.0.3
Modbus I/O Server 1.6.1
NI-RIO 3.4.0
NI-Serial RT 3.3.4
NI-VISA 4.6
NI-VISA Server 4.6
NI-Watchdog 4.0.1
Network Variable Engine 1.6.1
Run-Time Engine for Web Services 2.0.1
SSL Support for LabVIEW RT 2.0.1
System State Publisher 1.1.0
Variable Client Support for LabVIEW RT 1.6.1
Web Server for LabVIEW RT 2.0.0
Available add-ons:
LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation 9.0.1
However, if I run a program in the RT processor without referencing any vi on the FPGA it runs without problems, it´s only when a file is loaded into the FPGA that the system reboots and the error message appears.
Please help me

Why does my ipod classic (80gb) connect for a few seconds then disconnect?

I have a ipod classic 80gb, granted its old, but it has a big memory so I can store my whole collection. Anyway, when I connect it to my PC (with windows 8.1) it will connect for a few seconds then disconnect. It will sometimes start to sync, but then disconnect after a few seconds. My computer is pretty new, Acer Aspire V5. I have tried reinstalling itunes, a new cable to connect it, different usb ports(2) and with and without the pc plugged into the mains, which is when it starts to sync for a brief second. Has anyone else had the same problem??

The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

TS1398 My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working

My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working.

Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

I cannot sync my iphone 4 to my imac it connects for a few seconds then goes off

please can someone help me When i connect my iphone 4 to my imac using bluetooth it pairs up but only lasts for a few seconds then goes off and shows
not connected i have tried all sorts of ways but without success why is this happening am i the only one does anyone know the answer please

Seems like my problem - I have a new iPhone 4 and it does not want to pair with any device. It seems to connect, and is recognised by my MacBook pro, it shows the code that my Macbook shows, but then says it cannot connect. Neither did it connect to another imac, nor does it connect to my carphone. Have received a replacement (as I had bought the iPhone five days ago), have a new one now, but exactly the same problem. But I cannot alter the bluetooth settings on my iPhone, and restoring does nothing, nor leaving it in the completely unaltered setting, nor switching off all other wireless devices. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Airport Extreme drops connection for a few seconds at a time

My airport extreme seems to drop its connection for about 5 seconds at a time and then is back up. It does it every 10-15 minutes or so. I am not really sure why it is doing this because it has just started happening recently and worked fine for months and months. I need help because I dont know much about networking.

When you inserted your AirPort Extreme (It was an AirPort Extreme card, right?) card in your G5, did you attach the antenna cable AND the external "T" antenna?

After appearing for a few seconds, all iCal items COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR.

Ok, so this is a weird one.
Today I used iSync to synchronize my address book onto my cell phone which has worked fine in the past. The iCal option was unchecked since my phone does not support Calendar synchronization. I backed up my iCal and my Address Book prior to synching.
Afterwards, when I went to look at my iCal, I got a flash view of all my items, and then after a few seconds, everything disappeared. Completely. Everything. Gone.
So, I quit iCal, and re-opened it. The exact same thing happened. I was able to see all of my items, and then everything completely disappeared. I have since quite and re-opened iCal about 15 times, and each time, the same thing happens. Flash of my items, and then they are gone.
I have tried "Reverting to my Backup" which works for a moment, but then all of those items disappear as well.
Does anyone have any idea what in the world could be going on here? This is SO weird.

Though I don't have a solution for you, I can tell you that you're not alone. See the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1202000&tstart=0.

HH5 loses internet connection for a few seconds

I am struggling with the same issue for quite some time now.
We have HH5 Type A and BT Infinity 2 unlimited
All of a sudden it happens several times a day that we lose the internet connection. At the same time, the HH5 manager doesn't respond either.
I can not find anything in the HH5 event log that could tell me what causes it. First it started with the HH5 restarting on its own several nights in a row. Then I found out at least one of them was when they updated the firmware.
Last night according to the event log the hub restarted again for no apparent reason.
So this morning I was playing on my tablet and suddenly bang the connection was lost, I checked Hub manager via my PC and all I got was again can't connect. Tried to google and no internet on my PC either.
There is nothing in wired Lan or Wifi event viewer, I don't get an orange broadband light on the HH5. Everything looks like nothing has ever been wrong.
I have done a factory reset and that didn't help at all.
I keep getting this though

Hi empress48,
I'm sorry to see you're having connection problems. Can you try these dropping connection checks and let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks

Loosing my internet connection for a few seconds i...

Let me start by saying that I am an IT consultant and I have quite a bit networking experience.
I am suffering from connectivity issues for months. I talked with BT and they've said there was no problem with my line. Everything is fine. So I started to testing on my local environment.
Let me show the problem from my end before continue;
So seeing lots of package loss on the hop points. My first though "this can't be related with my equipment or flat" but hey, this is DSL with copper cables. There might be tons of reasons to see that.
So started to test;
First thing I've done was listening to dialing tone from the landline. Listened it for a bit and it was fine.
I was also seeing some package loss on the modem (192.168.1.1) so I removed my Wi-Fi router (192.168.2.1) and other equipment which were connected to my BT Home Hub 3, connect my laptop with cable and did more testing. Yep, BT hub was faulty. Replaced that with another TP-Link modem-router. Package loss on the 192.168.1.1 disappeared but connectivity issues were still there.
Replaced the splitter and the other cables while testing but no luck.
I plugged off every other devices and moved away from the modem's location by thinking that they may effect the copper cables. Still, no luck.
As a summary;
* Line is fine.
* Modem was faulty but replaced so modem is fine.
* Replaced the splitter and the cables.
* There is nothing to effect cables nearby.
After all these tests. I dialed 150 from my landline and explained the situation but all I've got was a stupid wireless troubleshooting email and nothing else. I have no idea what kind of customer service is this but;
Is this something known ?
Is there any other place to send this screenshot and explain the problem I have ?
Any suggestions/solutions/ideas?
Thanks in advance.

can you post tha adsl stats from your router plesae then run btspeedtester and when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post results
btspeedtester
are you currently connected to test socket?

Ichat only connects for a few seconds on Tiger but not on Leopard??

I have two laptops, a MBP with 10.4.11 and MB running 10.5.2..
When I am speaking with someone on video ichat on tiger, the connection only lasts for a couple of seconds then freezes and shows error messages like "No Data sent in last ten seconds" and Insufficient bandwidth" although my internet connection is fine, I have 6mb download and 450kb upload with a Netgear wireless Modem CG81..
On my MB with leopard, I can speak anyone else fine and don't get any error messages?
My MBP with tiger has been set in system prefs for the quicktime streaming speed as 1.5mbs?
What else can I do? Why is this happening?

Hi,
I could not see anywhere that I would clearly suggest was the equivalent place in any of those pics.
It may not have it.
It may be the other end.
But it is common with Netgears so I would search all the menus.
Also keep an eye out for anything that says about blocking or allowing Internet Pings
If you have a Later device or have upgraded the Firmware it may well have UPnP.
On most Netgears that have this it is ON by default.
If it is left on it will clash with the Port Forwarding.
As to setting the ports. Some devices set Protocols for the ports (UDP or TCP and sometime Both/Any) whilst doing Port Forwarding. (not all do)
Check that the ports that are used twice (5190 and 5298) are set to allow UDP and TCP as that is most likely what you came across.
In the Second Link they have "Both" showing in "iChat6" and this matches "iChat1"

Wireless connection lost in few seconds [solved]

Hi everyone
just come back to Arch after one year. The community grown fast and support seems to be fantastic.
Anyway, I have problems with my wireless connection. I installed the system from cd including ipw2200 driver (the right one for my card).
I followed the entire wiki guide on wireless and it seems to work, wpa_supplicant can associate to the access point and dhcpcd gets an address (valid). I can also ping external addresses (so DNS work too). After 5 seconds, anyhow, if I ping someone I got the message "network is unreachable".
Under windows the AP works fine. it has WPA-TKIP encription.
Thanks everyone

I just managed to solve the problem.
Actually, this problem is only for encripted connections. with open ones it works fine. I just made an attempt on an open router and it works. Then downloaded KDE and WICD and now it works fine also on encripted connections. Maybe WICD uses other modules to manage encription?
@statix: I ran wpa_supplicant manually and there were no errors, even after a long time. Quite strange. Could it be a wpa_supplicant bug? or a dhcpcd one?
@djzapi: kernel 2.6.30. Intel PCI wireless card. 32 bit system.

Pls help...my wifi disconnected after a few seconds - k9ngm-l mobo

ok my rig is
msi k9ngm-l mobo
amd 64 x2 3800 proc
corsair ddr667 mem
i recently bought a wifi usb - dwl-g122
i connected it to my usb and install the cd then restarted
i got my preferred internet connection wirelessly but after a few seconds. i get disconnected.
I was thinking the new usb-wifi has factory defect so i tried to test it on my laptop, (of course i disabled the built-in wifi), i use the usb-wifi without a problem so im now suspecting the culprit is the mobo.
a quick history:
i was using lan before, i experience something like i can connect to my yahoo messenger but cant browse. i uninstalled the smbus( i just tried it , i dont know wat it does) in the device manager and reinstalled it with the cd that comes with my mobo. but it fix my browsing problem. now when i tried this. its still the same.
after restart i can connect for a few seconds then disconnected, i even cant browse other pc after disconnection but my status is connected.
i tried to ping sites and yes i can ping when im still connected.
please help...

hello any suggestion will do even if you tell me to junk my mobo and buy a new 1

TS1559 HELP!! I should automatically connect to wi-fi, it Wont! when i tell it to.... it only stays conected for a few seconds.

Hi my iphone suddenly doesn't want to connect automatically to wifi!
Even When I tell it to....
It only stays connect for a few seconds.
You return to wifi to find its turned off.
The process starts again & Again & Again.
With no success!
Works fine on cellular data. I'm trying to update files that require you to connect to wi-fi,
Because some Files are to big to update/upgrade using cellular dara?cellular!
Has anyone else had this problem & worked out how to fix it.
Please please please, help me!
Remaining employed depends on it!! Thanks

That is how your ipad is designed to work.
Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software.
