Windows 2000 connection problems (solved)

I have a Windows 2000 box that was working fine with DSL and cable but when we moved and got FiOS, it didn't work.  It has a RealTek RTL 8139(a) PCI fast controller built in to the motherboard that is connected to the port of the back of the Westell 9100em router.  The symptoms were very strange: I could ping the router and load the router web page.  However, I could not load any webpages outside of the router.  DNS was working (lookups were fine and fast) but it seemed like no packets ever came back to me - it was like the TTL was set too small or something - they just died in the ether.  Traceroutes would get about a dozen hops out and then time-out.  I figured there was a problem with the ethernet controller, so I switched to a 10/100 Hawking USB-to-ethernet adapter.  However, this showed the same problem.  Then, I switched to a USB wireless adapter.  Again, same problem.  At this point, it was a total mystery.  There didn't seem to be a problem with a particular adapter and I knew it wasn't a problem with FiOS since I had multiple wired and wireless machines (XP,Mac,Linux) in the house with no problems whatsoever.
I had read on these forums some problems people were having with RealTek 8139 adapters: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/FiOS-Internet/Problems-with-the-Fios-20-5-connection-speed-in-my-area-d... so I did a google search on "windows 2000 realtek fios" and found this:  http://www.testmy.net/t-19923  This was exactly the same problem I was having, so I did what was suggested: Uninstall TCP/IP and the Microsoft services/clients from the ethernet adapter, reboot, then reinstall the protocols and services...  And it worked!  I can now load up web pages with no problems.
Even though I was a 25/15 customer, I was pretty happy to get a 7/7 service (according to Verizon's speed tests) after not being able to get any http connection at all previously.  For the heck of it, I tried the speed optimizer tool: http://www2.verizon.net/help/fios_settings/optimizer/  After rebooting the machine, I am now getting 25 down and 23 up on Verizon's test and 26 down and 13 up according to the speakeasy test.
I guess the lesson for me is that FiOS is unlike DSL or cable - you might not be able to just plug your computer in and have it work optimally or work at all.  But if you tweak it just right, it works pretty well

crichter, Welcome to the discussion area!
Sorry, I don't know what type of encryption (if any) is supported by Windows 2000.

  • Windows 2000 boot problem

    I have just moved my system to the new MX-6585 board - Did an Windows 2000 "upgrade" to initiate total hardware scan.
    System works ok, when it has booted, but booting is sooo slow.
    Found a Microsoft article describing the problem:
    SYMPTOMS
    After you choose to start Windows from the Boot menu, you may experience a long delay (or pause) before your computer finishes starting. Note that this delay may range from 10 seconds to a minute. Also, this delay occurs before the Starting Windows progress bar appears, and your computer may appear to stop responding (hang) during this time.
    CAUSE
    This behavior can occur if Windows is installed on a drive or a partition to which Windows cannot gain access with normal Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) INT-13 or INT-13 extension calls. When Windows Setup determines it cannot use BIOS calls to start, it uses scsi() or signature() syntax in the Boot.ini file instead of multi() syntax.
    My question is: Does MX-6585/BIOS in any way hinder the INT-13 calls to my Adaptec 2940???

    Thanks! I sent the following message:
    There are no IDE devices in my system, only SCSI. My hd is an IBM Ultrastar 36XP DRHS-36D. When I start the system up, the SCSI & MSI BIOS screens display normally, then BOOT.INI appears. After I select one of my NT-type OS's (NT4, W2K, WXP), there is a 30-second delay between the time I press the Enter key at the BOOT.INI screen and the time the OS actually starts to boot. (The BOOT.INI countdown time is limited to 5 seconds. I am *not* talking about this time.)
    Since the same hardware was transferred from another installation (with a non-MSI mb) in which the same Adaptec drivers were used but this 30-second delay did not occur, the delay appears to be due to the MSI BIOS. Interestingly, W98 is also installed on this hd and it appears in the BOOT.INI list. When I start up W98, the 30-second delay does not occur -- as soon as I press the Enter key, W98 starts to boot.
    Other end users have complained about this same boot delay. See the post "Windows 2000 boot problem" found in the MSI user forum here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=6970&boardid=10&page=1
    I'd estimate our chances of success at 1%. Still, it's far better to complain and not be heard than never complain. That way, we get to complain even more.  

  • Canadian store connection problem solved

    As I said in a previous thread I would like to thank cgygeek and Timmy Y for solving the connection problem to the Canadian Itunes store. For those still trying to get in, you have to completely disable Norton Antivirus 2006 for the duration of time you want to shop in Itunes. (not just the firewall) Apparently the 2007 Norton Antitvirus doesn't create a problem for the store.
      Windows XP  

    When you installed NIS 2007, did you use Norton's software removal tool to remove NIS 2006? I believe if you don't use this, files from NIS 2006 remain that cause the connection problem. I would suggest you talk to Symantec as they are aware of the iTunes connection problem and will help you more than Apple and you can have a live chat with a support person for free.

  • WiFi connection problem solved

    My intel iMac and MBA had no problem but iPods 3g and 5g did.  I had an old Netgear router connected and sitting next to my Airport Express.  On a hunch I diconnected the Netgear and created a guest network to replace the one on the Netgear.  PROBLEM SOLVED! 
    Evidently our iPods and boarder's iPhone had problems sorting out the signals and finding the right addresses.  Moving the AE to a higher and slightly more central position also helped.
    Jim

    Same here on a Vodafone PocketWiFi 2.
    Tried NetworkManager, wicd, wifi-menu but all have the same issue.
    I recently installed Aptosid on another machine and it has the same problem... It also has kernel version 3.9.
    All the live CDs I've tried work, even an Arch CD from May works, though a current install does not.
    I have no problems connecting to another (wpa2 enterprise) network yet can't on this 3G modem.
    I'm hoping this isn't a permanent issue and perhaps an update very soon will fix this.
    It seems the only way to fix this for now is to use an old version of Linux. I'm currently running a virtual machine only for the purpose of Internet sharing, very annoying.

  • Pop-up window "Experiencing Connection Problems!"

    The last week or so I have had this window (below) popping up on the top right of my screen. There seems to be no logic to when it appears - it goes away on it's own.
    Safari is in the forground. "Block Pop-up Windows" is enabled in preferences.
    I don't have connection problems.
    Safari v6.0 - OSX 10.7.4

  • Windows 2000 connected to Mac OS X 10.4 Server

    We are in the process of installing a digital press with a workflow front end running Windows 2000 Server. We would like to connect this to our XServe running 10.4 Server. Are there any issues with connecting an older Windows operating system to newer Mac OS? I assume I will need to set up a SMB share point for file transfer but am wondering if there is anything else I need to configure or worry about?

    Wow! Ask and you receive. I definitely will give that a try. I also have told another G4 owner about this.
    Thanks.
    The icon above your name looks familiar, but I cannot place it.

  • Netbeans and Windows 2000 Server Problems

    Does anyone out there know of any issues between netbeans and this OS. Is it worth it. I'd like to move away from the .net world and learn j2EE but I'd like to move up my IDE. Netbeans seems like the best choice. Does any experienced individuals out there know of a better one?
    This was my latest error with netbeans. From just opening a folder??? I also tried to report it - I still have to wait another hour after I registered before I could HOPEFULLY find where exactly I can report it. Maybe thats why there are so many bugs. They make it impossible to report something they tell you to report to help out.
    A java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException exception has occurred.
    Please report this at http://www.netbeans.org/issues.html,
    including a copy of your ide.log file as an attachment.
    The ide.log file is located in your C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\.netbeans\3.6\system folder.
    Thanks for anything
    -Wiley

    I use Windows 2000 Professional and have not problems.
    I would suggest,
    - ensure you have all windows updates.
    - ensure you have JDK 1.4.2_04
    - try eclipse which is also free (From IBM) http://www.eclipse.org/

  • New computer (windows 7) connection problem with Verizon DSL

    I just bought a new computer to replace a dead one.  I took the old one away and plugged the new one into the Verizon cable.  I have Verizon DSL, no wireless, no network at home, just a computer and a Westell modem.
    On the new computer, I have a successful internet connection in that I can reach Google.  I can conduct a Google search, but when I click on a search result I cannot reach that site.  I CAN successfully send and receive Gmail.  I CANNOT connect to Verizon's website, Amazon, Washington Post, Ebay, or most other sites.  What happens when I try is a small box comes up in the browser window saying "Connecting to [name of site]" and the in-progress thing goes around and around.  This will go on for as long as I let it (more than 1/2 hour), with no timeout or failure message -- just an empty browser window.  Results are the same in Explorer and Firefox.
    I hooked a borrowed computer into my Verizon line and the internet connection works fine to any site I try (I'm on it now).  Verizon techs have also done a line test and it's fine.
    I have taken the new computer (running Windows 7) back to the store 3 times.  They have hooked it into an Earthlink DSL line there and have shown me they have no difficulty whatsoever going to any of the sites that are not working for me at home.  They say the problem MUST be something to do with my Verizon connection.
    I've called Verizon tech support 3 times now.  They say it's not them, and there's nothing they can do -- but their Remote Assistant software isn't able to connect IN to my machine, just as I can't connect OUT to the Verizon site.  I have asked for a more up-to-date modem and was refused.
    I was tempted to just upgrade to FIOS but Verizon is being so unhelpful I am ready to bail on Verizon entirely.  Before I do, can anyone suggest what might be going on here? 

    I bought an HP computer at Staples and had the same problem.  HP and Verizon could find no problems.  Verizon said the would send me a new modem to see if that fixed the problem. The problem was corrected after Verizon sent me a new modem for free. 

  • MS SQL Server 2000 connectivity problems

    Hello everyone,
    I'm having problems connecting my application to MS SQL Server 2000. I am making a desktop application that is going to read and update a database I have created in MS SQL Server 2000. The problem is I cannot connect to the database from the application. Here are the details:
    I have only created a GUI for one table so far. I have created one other class that is used for connecting to the database.
    The GUI class is called Products.java and I have created it in Netbeans. The other class is called ConnectClass.java. In the constructor of the Products.java (GUI class), I instantiate an object of ConnectClass. That object in turn tries to establish a connection to the database. Here is the code of the constructor of the Products.java class (GUI class).
    public class Products extends javax.swing.JFrame {
    private ConnectClass connect1; // declaring the reference variable for ConnectClass
    /** Creates new form Products */
    public Products() {
    initComponents();
    connect1 = new ConnectClass(); // instantiating the ConnectClass
    The code of ConnectClass.java is as follows:
    import java.sql.*;
    public class ConnectClass {
    Connection connection;
    Statement statement;
    public ConnectClass()
    try
    Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=assignment2;User=root;Password=sa");
    statement = connection.createStatement();
    catch(SQLException sqle)
    System.err.println("Error creating connection");
    catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
    System.err.println(cnfe.toString());
    When I run the application I expect that the database should be connected at least. However I get the following message in Netbeans output window:
    run:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 6 seconds)
    I am using Windows XP Home Edition SP3
    The JDBC driver I am using is: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2000 Driver for JDBC™ Service Pack 3
    The name of the database I have created in MS SQL Server 2000 is: assignment2
    I have given the following settings in the CLASSPATH environment variable: .;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar
    I don't know what is wrong. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If you want to know something more please ask me.

    Thanks for the answers. I put the jar file in the jdk/jre/lib/ext folderWhich is exactly what you should not do. That folder is for language extensions, which a Driver is not. Why does everybody find it so hard to take the time to learn the language basics?
    and the driver was finally detected but then the program would not connect to the database.Did you configure the server properly. Per default it is not configured to accept network connections.
    I tried jtds driver too. I was so frustrated that I installed MySQL instead. Put the jar file in jre/lib/ext folder and then gave the URL and to my relief the database connected. Maybe there are some settings that need to be configured in MS SQL before it can connect. But I could not get it to connect :(The manual would contain that info, btw.

    As per the error message it seems like the SQL 2000 Services has been stopped running due to login issue. You need to start up the service using a valide login.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa176564(v=sql.80).aspx
    Here we have the various ways to start up the services

  • Zen Nano Plus connection problems - SOLVED (1/2/06)

    I recently bought the Nano Plus. On first installation everything worked fine. I decided to upgrade to the latest drivers and firmware via downloads from the Creative site. At some point during the firmware upgrade, everything seemed to hang. Eventually I had to halt the process, disconnect the player and reboot.
    When I plugged the player back in, it is detected as a USB Mass Storage Device, but Windows Explorer and the Zen Nano Plus Media Explorer both claim that the device is not connected.
    Here's what I have done so far:
    )Uninstalled all drivers and Creative software, rebooted, reinstalled drivers/software, rebooted. When plugging the player in, a brief window pops up saying Zen Nano Plus has been detected. This is followed by USB Mass Storage Device being detected (this window stays up a lot longer, sometimes more than 5-0 minutes before disappearing).
    2)Another uninstall/reinstall, but this time with a registry cleanup in between. Same result.
    3)Tried installing installation cd on partner's laptop and plugging in the player. Absolutely everything works fine. So it's not my player. There must be something I still need to do on my desktop to get everything to work again.
    4)Have also tried plugging into every USB outlet on the desktop. No change.
    My system:
    Windows XP (sp 2)
    3.2 GHz
    Intel 865 chipset
    2 GB RAM
    My Zen Nano Plus is currently running .0.03 firmware (latest).
    On this desktop I am running the latest drivers (Creative Mass Storage Drivers .07.00.250)
    When the player is plugged in, device manager shows no problems. Under Disk Dri'ves, Creative Zen Nano Plus USB Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2535.0). Under USB, USB Mass Storage Device is listed (and says the driver is from Microsoft, 7//0, version 5..2600.0).
    I have tried manually updating these drivers to anything listed in the Creative folders upon installation, but it does not detect anything. When I check the drivers listed on the laptop that works with the player, these same driver details show up.
    Any advice would be appreciated. I certainly would hate to only use my partner's laptop every time I want to update my music. I am also frustrated and puzzled as to why my player first worked on my desktop and now doesn't.Message Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2: AMMessage Edited by lcvdw on 0-03-2006 2:2 AM

    With your player connected and View, Devices by Connection selected in Device Manager navigate through as follows:
    Advanced Config and Power Interface (ACPI) PC
    ->Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
    -->PCI Bus
    You should then see a series of USB Host Controllers that you will have to click through in turn to find the one your player is connected to.
    Underneath each controller should be a USB Hub, and then devices are listed beneath the hubs.
    For my N200 I have USB Mass Storage Device, Creative MuVo N200 USB Device then Generic Volume.
    Your entry should be similar but with Zen Nano Plus instead of N200.
    While you're there, right-click on the entry for the hub attached to your player and select Properties. On the Power tab it will show how much current the port can supply and in the Attached Devices list it will show how much power the player needs. In my case the hub supplies 500mA and the player needs 00mA.
