Windows 8 Network Connection Enable/Disable

In Windows Network Adapter Settings, a shortcut can be created to Desktop by rightclick on the icon and then dragged to Taskbar or a Toolbar that you have created - useful item in Windows 8.
I enable/disable the adapter based on my need to be internet connected.
In Mac Pro 3.1, since the first Windows 8 versions (DP,CP,RP) were made avialable, this shortcut does not work as it has in all earlier Windows versions. I've complained about it in corresponding Windows forums but never gotten an answer.
Included pictures are proof:
1) When Network is active as seen by clear icon to the left of taskbar's Speaker icon, rightclick of my flipflop network shortcut icon does not allow Status. I can only Open File Location and get Adapter status there.
2) When Network is inactive as seen by red xed icon to the left of taskbar's Speaker icon, rightclick of my flipflop network shortcut icon does not allow Enable. I can only Open File Location and enable it from there.
Wondering If other Mac Pro users have encountered this; if it is somehow a Bootcamp driver, or a Windows 8 lessened Admin account capability thing.

Hi，
So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers.
if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

Unwanted Pop-Up window (network connection).

I keep getting disturbed by a pop-up window saying my Network cannot be connected . It disturbs me. I tried System Pref's but to no avail. How can I lose this annoying thing that happens sometimes when I'm in the middle of something? Thanks.

This is the popup that keeps appearing. It is in Dutch, but is says somethin like: "A problem occured when connecting to server TC J&J. The server doen't exsist or is not available. Check the servername or IP adress, check the network connection and try again."
The server does not exist indeed. It was a former name of my Time Capsule that I deleted years ago.
Anyone having the same issue or knows a sollution?

Mac book air os x lion windows network connection keep getting locked out

hello, I have an end user with a mac air, running os x lion. I attached him to a network share on the windows network active directory on server 2008. he is the only one that when he clicks on the network share it locks him out. I check a/d and he is locked out each time. Is there a fix for this. other computer specs are processor 1.7 ghz intel core i5 4gigs memory. this should be an easy fix for such a robust machine.

Hey,
yes I did get to the bottom of this problem!!!. After spending some time on the phone with apple support they suggested that it was probably a problem with the hardware on my macbook air.
So I took this to an apple shop they had a look and it was infact a problem with the logic board. Not sure what was wrong specifically but they replaced it and then reinstalled OS for me and now works perfectly. All came under the warrenty obviously.
I had a look at your thread and it seems that your having the same problem, only thing i can suggest is ring support if you havnt done so already they will go through recovery with you, should be all free if you have just bought your new mac. Alternatively, to save time I would quickly check and download via a different internet connection/ try connect your mac to the router with an ethernet cable, just to see wether its an internet issue.
If this fails unfortunately you will most likely have to take it to an apple store to get them to take a look!.
Good luck

Windows Network Connection

I'm stumped. OS 10.6.8 Macbook Air. We changed our office network to Windows 8 (previously XP). I cannot see the shared Network folder from Finder. I have a Macbook Pro with Mavericks, and the change was seamless. The Windows 8 server can see my Macbook Air on the network, but I can't see it. Using Finder "Go To Server," I get the dreaded "There was an error connecting to the server “192.168.0.57”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have my Macbook Pro side-by-side with the same configuration, but the Air does not see "Shared" in the finder. I even tried a direct Ethernet connection. It connects me to the internet (wired and wirelessly) but I get no network functions. Any ideas?

Hi,
I first suggest you run the following command
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Check the result.
If it does not work, then if the pc obtains IP address automatically, please try to assign an static IP address to the network card for a test.
Meanwhile, please make sure to have the latest drivers for the network card or just reinstall the NIC.

Windows "Easy Connect" does not reply with the password / "Easy Connect is not Available"

Hello,
I have posted a related question some time ago, which was eventually resolved. However, after some time a problem with Easy Connect (used for MSRA) came back:
Whenever I arrive at the point in setting up a MSRA session where Easy Connect is needed, I get the reply: "Easy Connect is not Available". Here is an example of the problem:
Start MSRA
--> as expected, a window with "invite someone to help you" and " Help some who has invited you" appears
Select "invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a window with "Who do you want to get help from" appears
Select "Invite someone to help you"
--> as expected, a windows with "How do you want to invite your trusted helper?" appears
Select "Use Easy Connect"
--> as expected, the temporary "Create invitation window / checking network capabilities" window appears
Next, I would expect this windows to close a new window to provide me with the Easy Connect password. However, instead I get the window "Easy Connect is not available".
I cannot continue. (I have screenshots so can repost with them if that would clarity my question)
Any suggestion how to resolve would be appreciated.
(Please do not reply with the 3 suggestions from the FAQ (both computers must run windows 7 / Access to internet is limited / your router does not support Easy Connect - doesn't help)
More background information and things I have tried:
The "Easy Connect is not available" window offers the "Tell me more about how to fix this problem" which I have tried, but those suggestions do not help
If I use the other MSRA option: "Help someone who has invited you" (this would be my typical use case), followed by "help someone new" and than select "Use Easy Connect", I also get the "Easy Connect is not available"
window instead of the expected option to enter the Easy Connect password. I believe this is that same problem.
This happed with both the 32 as well as the 64 MSRA versions
I'm using Window 7 Ultimate, 64 bit with all the latest updates
This desktop PC is wired to the internet via an Edimax gigabit switch, a Dlink DIR-855 wireless router and a fiber modem in bridge mode
The W7 desktop has a single active network connection only
I'm using Windows Firewall and Windows Security Essentials
Disabling the firewall on the PC did not help
Network discovery is enabled in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings (that’s UPnP – right?)
The Internet Connectivity Evaluation Tool does not seem to be available anymore from MSFT sites
Restarting "Peer Name Resolution Protocol" did not help
Restarting "Peer Networking Identity Manager Properties" did not help
Starting up with a "Clean Boot" (disabled all non-Microsoft services using MSConfig) did not help
I would also be interested to understand how I can check on the status of the "Easy Connect" service. Is this a service hosted somewhere, or??
Thanks!

Dear Andy,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Let me answer your questions:
Q: Could you use the other methods: save this invitation as a file and use e-mail to send invitation?
A: yes, that way I can establish a MSRA connection
Q: Have you disable other network connections, including disable all virtual network card?
A: if I check with ‘Device Manager/Network Adapters’ (or Control Panel/Network and Internet/Network Connections) I see two network adapters (my Asus motherboard has two network connectors). Both are available, but only one is used. I have
disabled one. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem. I will leave it disable for now.
Q: To find detailed information about this issue, please locate to event view and find the logs about remote assistance.
A: I have to admit that the Event Viewer is unfamiliar territory for me. So, I’m not sure where and what to look for. However, as suggested, I found "Event Viewer (local)/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/Remote assistance/Operational".
Each time, I attempt to use MSRA/Easy Connect, it seems two entries are added. As I cannot seem to upload files with this post, here are just the two entries:
“Diagnosis Repro Attempt resulted in a failure.”
“Remote Assistance troubleshooting has confirmed the problem: Remote Assistance Easy Connect isn't available.”
If you need more details, please suggest what to forward or check. I'm eager to find a solution!

Limited network connectivity after reboot

I have a Windows Server 2008 sp2, and every time it does a reboot, I lose the network connection. the system tray will either have a red x or it will say limited network connectivity. If I run a repair it says the network cable is unplugged.
The only way I have found to resolve this is is to go into manage network connections, and disable the network adapter, and then enabling the network adapter. This server worked fine for about three years, before the problem started occurring.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I found a newer network driver, and will install probably on Monday. This is the server that runs all our backups, so I have to wait to install the driver until the next backup job finishes. The only warning I am getting is:
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet #2: The network link is down. Check to make sure the network cable is properly connected.
If updating the driver does not help then it might something wrong with the NIC. You can try replacing it and see if that helps.

Keyboard shortcut enable/disable transfer option (Brush Panel)

Is There a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable the transfer option in the Brush Panel ?

Not sure for Mac, but in Windows I can enable, disable or change this option. However, according to https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12024/what-are-hotkeys-and-how-do-i-use-them-mac and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12074/what-keyboard-shortcuts-can-i-use-with-skype-for-mac-os-x seems that these options are available for Mac OS.

Cannot enable wi-fi device (Netgear WNA3100) network connection although message is 'enabled'

I am using Microsoft driver for the above device. Drivers loaded ok, device manager seems to think it's fine. Device seems just fine (blue light flashing as it should). Anti-virus/external firewall (Zonealarm Exteme) etc all shut down (to find problem).
Primary ethernet connection disabled. Network and sharing Center (Change adapter settings) allows me to enable, says enabling, then enabled, however it never changes status and remains disabled.
Netgear driver (latest for win7 64 which I use) installs fine until final part 'detecting adapter' which fails - never gets there and needs to be forcefully terminated. I've removed the Netgear software entirely.
I've changed USB ports and done just about as much as I can. From a management point of view I hate windows7. To get to simple information it is far more difficult than previous OS's. As an example, I have no idea how to get my OS version number. I know
it is Windows7 64Bit Home edition but thats all I can say.
The network adapter works perfectly under XP-sp3 and this is dual-boot machine so hardware is obviously identical (apart from SSD boot for Win7 and HDD for XP).
Any help appreciated - or any questions I can answer to help me out!
Thanks, Dave.

Its a bit old thread, but I want to update it with my (Netgear support actually) solution
to this problem.
Here is my question to Netgear support (10/29/2011 12:32:00 PM):
1. Windows 7 sp1 64-bit
There is a problem with the driver for this, I have tried so many different things now, but no result.
When I install the software/driver for WNA3100, when it ask me to connect the WNA3100, I do but it doesent find it...
In Windows device manager it looks fine, but in network connections its only de-activated, and I cant activate it.
I have tried to instal the driver from CD, from internet with windows update, and I downloaded driver from Netgear support (WNA3100_v1.1.3.22_Setup.exe) but always same result, FAILED.
I also googled this problem, and I see many others having the same issue with Win7 64-bit.
Is there a new driver comming soon, or should I return this?
Here is what Netgear answered (10/29/2011 3:11:00 PM):
We just tried the installation on win 7 64 here ourselfs, so please try the following:
1. Uninstall the software on the adapter by pressing Start- Programs- Netgear- choose uninstall.
2. Uninstall the drivers of the adapter (when it's connected to the PC) by pressing Start- Control Panel- Device manager- Network cards- find the adapter and choose uninstall.
3. Disconnect the adapter from the PC.
4. Open the link below:
http://support.netgear.com/app/products/model/a_id/13071
Mark "show all version" and download "WNA3100 Initial Release Software Version 1.1.2.16"
5. If you get an error message in the installation go to Start- Control Panel- Device Manager- Network cards- Double click on the adapter- Driver- Upgrade driver- Search automatically for updated drivers.
In step 5 you need an internet connection so please use a wire to get internet in this step.
When this is done you should be able to finish the installation.
If this doesn't work please let us know and we will help you further!

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions? I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

IPod Touch 4gen disabled "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted" Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active or try again later. Please help!

My daughter forgot her passcode. Her iPod Touch 4gen is disabled. I've tried everything I've read online. I get to the "Restore" part on iTunes and then I get the message, "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network connections are correct and your network connection is active or try again later." How can this be so hard to do? Why isn't there a simpler solution. I live 2 hours from the nearest Apple store. Any advice you may offer would be very much appreciated.

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

Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

Hello there,
We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Thanks,
TL

There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
sense programing.
So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
OVER WIFI.
Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
Ralph
PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

Network Connectivity Status Indicator for IPv6 works wrong in Windows 7 and Windows 8

Hi Folks,
I am working on testing Network Connectivity Status Indicator for IPv6 in Windows 7 and 8.
Waht is "Network Connectivity Status Indicator(NCSI)" you can refer to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126135%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I found that even if Network Connectivity Status Indicator detect IPv6 connection to http://ipv6.msftncsi.com/ncsi.txt failed.
Windows IE still use IPv6 to connect to website first, rather than stop using IPv6 and to use IPv4.
It will cause IPv6 fallback to IPv4 problem, that's 21 secs and 7 secs delay for fallback in Windows 7 and 8.
Does anyone suffer the same problem?
Or someone know how this works?
Thanks!

Hi Roger_Wang0214,
"Windows IE still use IPv6 to connect to website first, rather than stop using IPv6 and to use IPv4."
By default Windows prefers IPv6 over IPv4,we can manually configure the IPv4 prefer over IPv6 if it has result in any troubles.
Here is a link for reference :
Resolving Internet connectivity issues after World IPv6 Launch (June 6, 2012)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2533454
"The "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6" Fix it solution will configure your computer to prefer IPv4, instead of IPv6. By default, Windows prefers IPv6 over IPv4. If you are having problems using IPv6 to connect to some websites, this may resolve the
problem."
For a Windows 7 machine ,we can try the following fixit tool to configure IPv4 prefer over IPv6 .For a Windows 8.1 machine ,we can configure it referring to the manual part .
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents
If the DisabledComponents entry is unavailable, we can create it (DWORD (32-bit) Value).Then set a value with "0x20"to prefer IPv4 over IPv6 by changing entries in the prefix policy table.

Network Connection error when Trying to Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Thank you to anyone who can help me out here. I have a brand new machine with known working wifi and wired ethernet adapters (works under Windows 8.1) I am attempting to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2. During the install process, the system connects
to the internet to download updates to help along the install. No problem here. Further down the road after restarting several times and now during the "Configuring Windows Server Essentials" step of the install, I am told "There is no network
connection. Please fix the connection issue and try again."
When troubleshooting the connection, I am told that the wifi adapter drivers may not be installed. I have a wireless card in the machine and have also tried disabling the wifi adapter and have been connected successfully via the ethernet port this whole
time.
Help, I'm stuck and have been to this point in the install 4-5 times already.
Thank you.

Is this a laptop? Can you remove the wifi? Disable it in BIOS?
Does the wifi have an IP and internet when it throws the error?
BTW, when the wizard ask about updates say no. Takes way too long and does not help anything
Change the binding order and put the wired on top.
The Steps?
Just open your Network and Sharing Center. (Change adapter settings)
Press an ALTkey on your keyboard to show the menu bar.
Click on the Advancedmenu
choose Advanced Settings option
Adjust your binding order for your NICs to ensure your wired ones are at the TOP
