Windows 7 Pro randomly loses connection to some network drives/shares.

This is a strange one. I can see where others are having the same issue but I have not found an answer yet so hence this post.
This issue is happening on a Win 7 Pro system. As far as I know we are not having this issue on any XP systems.
Problem: I have at least one Windows 7 system that every so often will lose access to network shares on our network. It does not lose access to all mapped drives or shares just to a couple and one server in particular
- other shares are still working fine.
I have logged on as another user to test the profile but it has the same issue. It doesn't matter if I try to access the mapped drive or browse directly to the share. It will not connect.
Once I reboot the computer, access is restored like it should be. It will work for a few hours and then go bonkers again. HELP!!

Please make the following changes
On the Server whose map drives you don't see
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
Value: autodisconnect
Data type : REG_DWORD
Value: ffff (Hex)
On windows 7 client
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Value Name: KeepConn
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 65535 (dec value in seconds)

15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network.

My 15" MacBook Pro randomly loses connection to my AirPort Express wi-fi network. I have to switch off wi-fi on my Mac then switch on again to reconnect. Any reason why this random occurrence keeps happening which never happened before? Any solutions and fixes would also be welcomed.

In the airport utility, you can alter the radio modes... and change the channels from automatic to a manual one.
Hold down the Option key, and click on your wifi icon, it will tell you what channels are currently being used on your OSX.

Windows 7 Pro Client loses connectivity to internal Win2k8 web server

1. affected workstation are Optiplex 380 running Win 7 pro sp1 with broadcom NICs.
2. Internal users use a internal webserver for customer invoicing application. Users lose connectivity to this internal web server, all other networking works, network shares, internet, etc. If I try to ping the webserver IP I get no reply. XP
machines are not affected. Not a DHCP issue as there are plenty of IPs.
3. I have tried different internal NICs (3com) but still had issue. I have upgraded BIOS, nic drivers. etc.
4. I rebuilt one of the machines using Windows XP pro sp3 and have had no issue with that workstation.
the problem started a few months or so ago. I have not been able to determine the source. I tried running wireshark but nothing stuck out. I have changed the session settings on the IIS server from 15 minutes to 6 hours but did not make a difference.
5. Today when client lost connectivity to the server I tried pinging from the server back to the client and the connection was restored. This issue really has me confused as I cannot find anything in the logs that sticks out.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Re: (forte-users) DBSessions randomly lose connection toOracle

Try setting the flag trc:lo:25 on the partition where the DBSession gets
disconnected. It should tell you the reason what is error that is
bringing down the DBSession.

Subject: (forte-users) DBSessions randomly lose connection to Oracle
We have two applications deployed to our production environment(3.0.G.2).
We have three HP's with Unix 10.20. Server 1 is our database server.
Server2 supports all of Application1 and Server3 supports all of
Application2. Our database is Oracle 7.3.3.4. We are finding that during
the course of a normal day, our users will receive the following error:
"The DBSession that you are using is no longer connected to a
database..."
Our database connections are replicated. It will occur in only some of our
replicates. I then go through the application and force a reconnect on all
of the database connections and the users can continue on with their
processing. This happens randomly during the day at different times, with
different applications, on different servers. I have talked to Forte
support and they suggested some trace flags (trc:db:6:6, trc:db:11:11 and
trc:db:13:13). None of the flags have produced any helpful information.
When you look at it from the Forte side, it thinks that it still has a
valid DB connection. When you look at it from the Oracle side, Oracle
thinks that it still has a valid connection. Somewhere our connections are
getting "stepped on". We have looked at SQLNet and nothing shows up in
the logs. Where else should I look? What else could be causing the
problem? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Are you using DHCP to allocate IP addresses via your router or Static IP allocation?
You may have an IP conflict in your network.
Check on your various network configuration parameters in your iPad, PC and WiFi router.

IPad3 loses connection to home network and same happens to laptops.

I purchased the new IPad a week ago. Since then, I often lose connection to home network. Cannot join network unless I power off and on the modem/router. This also hapens every morning. The same is now happening with our wireless laptops. Never had any problems all these years until the iPad was introduced to our network. Our Internet provider confirmed that modem/router protocols were set per advice from Apple Support and they did additional tweaking but problem persists. I am thinking of getting a new modem and router but wonder if it is worth it. Has anyone had similar problems where their other devices are having the same connection issues as the iPad? Thanks.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Windows 8, Error: "Can't connect to this network"

I have wracked my brain, my colleague’s brains, and used my googlefu to no avail.
I have a Win8 basic (cheapest OS) HP tablet 1000G2 that I am having troubles with. I have a network that requires WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP. It will not connect to this network, it will however connect to a neighboring network without
any security settings. I have fixed this issue once before and the same fix is not working.
The kicker... I have another exact same tablet that we got the same day... No issues connecting
Problem: It does not take the security settings that the server is prompting for. It prompts me for my credentials, but gives this error: "Can't connect to this network"
I did research last time and the collective reason was that the security settings weren't correct.
Solution that worked last time:
Connect to a network with open sec settings.
Open network and sharing center
Change adapter settings.
Right click wireless adapter click status
Wireless properties.
Security tab.
Change my network settings
Reconnect to my network
The tablet has been fine until today. These steps above do not resolve the issue anymore.
THERE IS NO VIRUS PROTECTION BESIDES WHAT WINDOWS OFFERS ON THIS DEVICE!
Troubleshooting steps I have tried: deleting all the wlan profiles with
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/manage-wireless-network-profiles
and used http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-laptop-wont-connect-to-the-wireless/256c8bd2-e11f-4746-b3aa-3e6eb8305b56 page.
Change any properties one at a time that I thought might deal with this.
Removed all HP bloatware/3rd party connection managers.
Troubleshooting I tried last time:
Uninstalled and installed adapter drivers.
Tried the windows diagnose
Googlefu "Can't connect to this network" and you come up with a bunch of pages I have clicked on them and none of the solutions have worked.
Please if you have any solutions let me know! I am at my wits end with this dang thing.

These are all logical ideas, but alas I have already checked all of this. We do not have any blocking other than credentials(which are not locked and are correct). The amount of connections would be determined by how many IP Addresses that I have(which is
a ton). Not the wireless router, because we have many other devices that connect to it just fine. No mac filter. No the other pc isn't connected. No it is only connecting to one network.
I should mention that this is in an enterprise and not an at home network. It is a WAP not Wireless Router.

CS6 Bridge Running in Background after connecting to a networked drive?

I have been having a problem with Bridge running in the background after connecting to a networked drive on a server. I can open and use the program fine, but when I close it still is running in the background until closed via Task Manager. Once the process is removed I can once again open Bridge. I found that holding Ctrl and clicking the Bridge icon and resetting my preferences allows me to open and close bridge once again, until I connect to a networked drive. Anything local on the computer things work fine, but as soon as I head over to a server Bridge wants to continue running in the background. I am assuming it is having trouble closing its connection to the networked drive and stays open. I do have other computers on the network with CS5 and they do not have this issue.
Any ideas on how to correct this?
Computer is a Windows 7 64 bit platform.

They were using the little red "x", file > quit allowed her to reopen the program etc. I find it weird that it wont close with the "x" but if I right click the icon on the task bar, it wont allow me to reopen or do anything with it so I was under the assumption it was stuck open.

Apps randomly lose connectivity

Hi, i have a problem with internet connectivity with random apps. While I am on my home WiFi in random time random apps loose connectivity while other apps can access internet. I am on nokia lumia 925. Once i restart my phone the connectivity is back for few hours until it drops randomly again.
please help, it's really annoying. Thank you.

Ok, I have tried a soft reset and rebooting my phone, and all store updates.. (i'm not sure about firmeware, how to).
Now I have noticed that MOST of the apps (if not all) lose connectivity, but once I turn off, and back on, WIFI it everything works fine (for an hour or two)
Could it be the router (it doesn't happend on my pc, laptop and my old galaxy s2..

7942s randomly lose connection to CUCM Thru VPN Tunnel

One of my remote branches has 7 7942s plugged into a 2960 POE and then to a 2901. The computer are connected to the telephone tandum.
1.All the phones dont drop at the same time (maybe 2 or 3 together)
2.The VPN Tunnel never drops when the phones lose the CUCM.(Computers are still online and able to see the network on other side of tunnel)
3.The computer that is connected to the dropped phone does not lose connectivity to the inside network or thru the vpn tunnel (whether in fallback mode or connected or in transit)
4. when a couple of phones are down, I can reach both CUCMs. (Publisher and Subscriber)
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Earl,
Try to do wire shark and see if you can capture anything.
Its looks like keep live message dropping some where before they reaching phones. Is there high utilization on site?
Check if any firewall filtering packets.
Phone reboots itself and tries to register again. Check interface if there is any watchdog timers error.
Please do rate if the given information helps
Thanks

Windows 7 Pro on iMac (mid 2011) and network slows down

We have an office with about 8 mid 2011 21" iMacs running Windows 7 Pro courtesy of Bootcamp. The machines boot quickly and all programs open quickly. They each have from 2 - 4 mapped network drives to a 2012 Windows Server 2008 R2 HP GL380 server on-site and are wired with Gig Ethernet HP business class switches). The users' Documents, Desktop, and a couple other directories are re-directed to the file server using an Active Directory Group Policy Object (GPO).
A couple of the computers will regularly start to slow down after only 20 or 30 minutes of use. The rest have occasionally experienced it but it's always independent of others experiencing the slowdown. The computers with the more regular slowdowns I've also booted into OS 10.7.x and the transfer rates to the same file server are fast and consistent. BTW, all computers are current on Windows updates and Apple updates.
I've tried some of the suggestions I found here: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/950538-running-windows-7-via-bootcamp-on-mac-m ini-slows-down-over-time/
1.)
Disable all property's that has something to do with "Offload" under advanced on the nic properties.
Also disable "Recieve Side Scaling".
And set "Speed and Duplex" to auto.
2.)
Turn off windows feature "Remote Differential Compression" (Uninstall) under "programs and features".
3.)
Run fallowing command in cmd:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
i ran disabled on every setting i could.
so it looks like this now:
C:\Users\tab>netsh int tcp show global
Querying active state...
TCP Global Parameters
Receive-Side Scaling State : disabled
Chimney Offload State : disabled
NetDMA State : disabled
Direct Cache Acess (DCA) : disabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : disabled
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : none
ECN Capability : disabled
RFC 1323 Timestamps : disabled
4.)
Uncheck fallowing under your local area connection properties:
Link Layer Mapper I/O Driver.
Link Layer Responder.
With all of that said, do any of you have any suggestions of what to check?

Windows 7 pro Auto Deleating all printers on Network

Over the past months we have replaced all of our computers from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro unites. When the last computer was changed out, (it is the computer
that all of our printers are connected to the network through. Printers we use on our network, an Epson Lq 570+ (Connected by parallel port), HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 (Connected by USB port), HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A (Connected by USB
port) and a Eltron 2844 UPS printer (Connected by USB port) they all get automatically deleted for a workstation at the same time.
We have 6 computers on the network. I have the computers setup on / in both a Workgroup and a Home Group. 1 we store all of our files on this computer
and is not used as a workstation, 1 has all of our printers connected to it and this is not used as a workstation and 4 computers us as workstations.   The network was working great before I replaced the last XP computer with the printers
on it. The next day one of the workstations did not have any of the network printers in device manger so I added them back. They automatically deleted four time yesterday and two time already today. Now a second computer
is doing the same thing. What is wrong, if this continues I will need to go back to the old computer running XP Pro.
Thanks for your help

Karen,
Old Network: We have 6 computers on the network. (5 are running Windows 7 Pro) (1 is running XP Pro) the computer running XP Pro has all the printers connected to
it (4... 1 HPOffice Jet Pro 8100   1 HP Office Jet Pro 8500   1 Eltron 2800 UPS Lable Printer and 1 Epson LQ570+) in this configuration the network is working great all 5 computers running Windows 7 Pro can print
and the printers stay in "Devices and Printers"
The new network: We have 6 computers on the network all running windows 7 Pro. The only change was to change out the Last XP Pro computer with a Windows 7 Pro Computer. We set up all the printers on the
new computer (printers same as above) and shared the with all the other computers.   Under this setup we are loosing the printers on all the computers other then the computer that they are plug into. when it happens we loose all 4 printers
on one of the other computers. I then reset them up on that computer and later a different computer has lost the printers. this goes on all day and that is why I went back to the computer running XP Pro
I hope this explains it a little better.
I believe it is a Windows 7 problem or it could be that I'm using both a "Workgroup" and a "Home Group".   (I had to set up a Workgroup when I had a mix of XP and Windows 7 computers.)
Thanks for your help

HP Officejet 4620 All-in-One Loses Connection to Wireless Network When It Goes Into Sleep Mode

My HP 4620 All-In-One wireless printer works fine until it goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode, it doesn't wake up if a print job is sent to it. If I wake it up manually by pressing the blinking on/off button, it still doesn't print. If I completely turn it off and then on again, the print job that was queued on my computer will start printing, but that's a huge pain and waste of time nearly every time I want to print. I've installed all available updates. I also assigned a static IP address in an effort to correct this but nothing helps. I see that others have complained about this problem, but I do not see that anyone has had success resolving this. My operating system is Windows Vista. I use a Link-Sys Wireless G Router. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!
