Windows can't create a network map/appearance of B...

Hi
I have had BT infinity for somewhat over a month now without any problems, until yesterday. That I am aware of two things have changed but in what order they changed I do not know.
'Firstly' I connected a brand new but several years old i.e. unused, LG 1T network drive and tried to get through the software installation process without success (can't create acceptable login details ). However I could see etc. the drive if I typed its network address into a browser's address window. BUT at that point the Windows network map started breaking. That was yesterday and I have, for the moment, removed the drive and deleted its info from the Homehub 5b.
Today I noticed that two new wireless networks have appeared, BTWifi-X and BTWifi-with-Fon. These appear and disappear as and when my homehub is switched on and off and, given what I have read, I assume these are the hotspot networks I am providing.
If I have my laptop connected to the homehub via LAN, Windows can create a network map providing no other computer is connected via WAN. Conversely when any computer is simultaneously connected to the homehub via WAN Windows loses the ability to create a network map, this includes the situation where one computer is connected via WAN and LAN. I often use my employer's WAN when at work and frequently forget to switch the WAN off, meaning that when I come home the laptop is initially often connected via WAN and LAN. That I am aware of, Windows has not previously had a problem creating a network map when this has happened.
There does not seem to be a problem if my phone (android) is connected to the homehub via WAN or if I have two computers connected to the homehub via only WAN nor if two computers are connected to the home hub via only LAN
One other thing I have also noticed is that the network map, when created, seems to contain, at times, a switch, a hub, Homehub5 and BThub5**** as if there a multitude of connectors.
I would like to get back the ability for windows to create network maps whatever connections are made.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You seem to be using WAN to mean a Wireless connection when it means something else. Is this correct.
Your HH 5 B should provide a better network map than windows. Do you know how to log into your Home Hub Manager to get this and other information ?
Have you set up your HH 5 B as recommended in this forum ?

  • Can I create a network for printing & music alone ?

    I don't have DSL or any type of broadband - still using dial up.
    If I buy an Airport Express can I configure it to wirelessly print and stream music or do I need a wireless network in the background to make this work ?

    Can I create a network for printing & music alone ?
    Yes
    If you also want internet access at the same time you will need to tweak things a bit.

  • Can't create Local Network Users in Yosemite

    I can't create Local Network Users (or change passwords)
    Logged on to /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 as directory administrator
    When I try to create a new user (press the [+], fill in the form), it brings up the message:
    existing connection is not authenticated or secure: password change denied
    I suspect this is emblematic of other issues. I can authenticate for Mail and SMB, but not for AFP or Xcode

    So I had this problem last night as well when I upgraded my 10.9.5 OD master to 10.10.
    Two obvious problems after that upgrade:
    1)  Could not add a new Local Network User
    2)  Existing users could not connect via AFP (but could via SMB)
    Through a series of trial and error (and with two Apple Support people...), we found that the following actions seemed to help fix some (but not all) of the problems.:
    Problem #2 seemed to initially be fixed by archiving the OD Master, destroying the OD Master and then reimporting from the archive.  I archived from the upgraded 10.10, but should probably have tried restoring my 10.9.5 archive (which may end up being why I still have some problems...)
    Problem #1 seemed to be solved when I used WorkGroup Manager to reset the password on the Directory Administrator account I use  (I also blew out all references to that account from the Keychain, so everything reprompted me to add that password
    However, we think the root cause of this might have been that in /var/db/openldap/migration, the following "dot" files were still present after the upgrade
    fs:migration root# ls -la
    total 6308816
    drwx------  10 root  wheel         340 Oct 30 18:59 .
    drwxr-xr-x   6 root  wheel         204 Oct 30 18:57 ..
    -rw-------   1 root  wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .autossl
    -rw-------   1 root  wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .enableODProxyd
    -rw-------   1 root  wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .rekerberize
    -rw-------   1 root  wheel           0 Oct 30 18:59 .updateLocales
    -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel      333436 Oct 30 18:57 authbackup.ldif
    -rw-r--r--@  1 root  wheel      617453 Oct 30 18:57 backup.ldif
    -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel      617453 Oct 30 18:57 backup.ldif.backup
    -rw-r--r--   1 root  wheel  3228537344 Oct 30 18:59 oldsystem.tar
    Those 4 .dot files were *not* present in that directory on the two other test OD Master servers that I upgraded without issue.
    So we removed them and after having done all the above as well -- I can now add users to the server.   The OD engineer I talked to thought that the presence of those .dot files may have been triggering something to rerun every time PasswordService launched.
    When all was said and done, I was then able to "kinit <mydiradminaccount>" correctly and get a "klist" without issue.
    ALL THAT SAID:  As of this morning, *some* (most?  I don't know yet) of my existing OD user accounts are able to successfully log into the server.   A couple of them (so far) are reporting that their account is "disabled" (which is different from the "shaking"/can't-log-in behavior) -- but they can still log in via SMB -- so I think there was still a problem migrating OD accounts in the upgrade process.
    AND -- I noticed that -- in Server 4.0 -- "change password" is greyed out, so I have to use WorkGroup Manager to change server account passwords.

  • How do I get windows 7 to Index a network mapped drive?

    I would like to change the location of my lobraries in Win 7 to a network drive but every time I change the location, it says it cannot be used because it's not indexed, so how do I get a network drive to be indexed or if there is a way around it I'd accept that too.

    here's a solution... that indexes the contents of a folder on another networked computer - WITHOUT MAPPING THE NETWORK...
    I don't like to spend a lot of time screwing around with the "mindboggling" os conflict stuff of Microsoft with Windows 7, Vista, xp-pro, etc.
    THIS WORKS FOR ME... but since I'm just an "average user," I can't always explain the "intuitive" computer solutions to problems that I come up with in a sequential "step like" manner...
    This SOLUTION may be useful in resolving other networking conflict issues when you are using various hardware and software.
    The TWO computers I'm using for this example:  a gaming Windows 7 x64 laptop, and an XP-Pro desktop.  (I also have a Vista laptop, and another desktop with XP-home... but I don't use those that often - so I don't really care if this "solution"
    works on those, etc.)
    Anyway, I'll tell you the steps I did, though, I don't really understand "how all this works" - it just does.
    Some points first, before I give you a "step by step..."
    1.  I can always access ALL NETWORK LOCATIONS AND FILES from my "Windows 7 x64" laptop.
    2.  I often can't access all network locations, etc. from my XP-Pro desktop... sometimes I can, but I don't know what I have done to cause this... and it's not to important to me... as long as MY MAIN LAPTOP can access everything on the network all
    the time. (This probably has something to do with WIN 7 being "backwardly compatible" with previous hardware/software like XP but NOT THE REVERSE, etc.  So, whenever I'm doing something "involving my network" ... I try to work "top-down" from the superior
    WIN 7 system, etc.
    OK... here's what I did... "experts" can figure out "if this is useful to you" and whether it has "other potential uses, etc."
    here's a rough sketch of the "problem I was having" and the solution.
    I often jump between two computers on my network... the win7 laptop and the xp pro desktop... and I wanted to have a "notepad file" that I use as a daily "do list," and I wanted to have it's contents change and be in sync, no matter which computer I had
    updated the notepad file on.  Now, I know THAT CAPABILITY is simply a matter of having it shared on the network.  Now I originally created the notepad file on the xp desktop.  Then, I went upstairs and found the shared folder I had put it in
    from the desktop... and, of course, I could "change the contents of the file in sync" between the two computers... 
    Now, the problem came in when (from my laptop I could NOT INDEX the "shared folder on my desktop.")  I tried MAPPING the network drive, and IT WOULDN'T do it...(some kind of issue between win7 and xp, etc.)
    ANOTHER COMPLETELY DIFFERENT APPROACH occurred to me... AND THAT WORKED...so here's what was involved... and it INDEXED THE "SHARED FOLDER ON THE DESKTOP COMPUTER" without "mapping the network."  ...why this works... YA GOT ME... BUT IT DOES!
    HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:  (all below is for WIN 7 X64 networked with older systems like XP... this method may work in other cases, too)
    1.  I created a "notepad" file on my xp desktop.  (called the file "bingo.txt")
    2.  Created a "folder" and named it "bingo" also.  (made this a "shared folder" and put the "bingo.txt" file in it)
    3.  Did a "network locations" search for this folder and put it in with the other shared folders/files in the "desktop network" location.
    4.  Went upstairs to my "win7 laptop" 
    a.  pressed the Start button and entered "favorites" (without the quotation marks) into the little "search" rectangle that appeared just above the Start button.  The "Favorites" folder appeared at the top of the list.  I clicked on it and
    the Favorites folder opened... then I "right clicked" on the "Recent Places" folder and created a "shortcut" on my desktop.
    b.  Now, whenever I click on any folder or file including the "shortcut to bingo.txt (which is on my win7 laptop for quick access)...well, the NETWORKED FOLDER:  "bingo" suddenly shows up in "Recent Places" as a shortcut.  THESE SHORTCUTS
    CAN BE DELETED since that's all they are ... JUST BE SURE you are still in the RECENT PLACES FOLDER.  For example:  I clicked on a "shared network folder" and almost deleted it by accident... NOT REALIZING THAT I WAS NO LONGER IN THE "Recent Places"
    folder...so, make sure before you delete.  It's of course OK to "select all" and delete all the shortcuts that accumulate over time in the "Recent Places" folder, etc.  Also I set the "sort" on the Recent Places folder to date/time, so that the "most
    recent" place I have been "is always at the top of the list.
    c.  So, far - and this is interesting - ONLY FOLDERS SHOW UP in the locations you visit then look for in the "Recent Places" folder.  So, for example, when I click on the shortcut (on my win7 laptop) for "bingo.txt"... and then later check the
    Recent Places folder... well, only the "shared network folder BINGO appears there!"  (not the bingo.txt file that's in it... I didn't click on the actual folder, just the bingo.txt shortcut, but what appears in the Recent Places folder IS ONLY THE NETWORK
    FOLDER)  
    d.  Now, the mystery: (my win7 computer was "indexing" in the background all this time) WHEN I DID A SEARCH FOR "bingo" ...the "bingo.txt" file was at the top of the list... I "right clicked" on it to check the properties (thinking the index has just
    located the shortcut on my desktop maybe)...BUT THE PROPERTIES ...showed the "networked location" on my desktop downstairs.
    e.  IN CONCLUSION:  I now have the capability to INDEX folders/files ON OTHER NETWORKED COMPUTERS from my "win7 x64 laptop" WITHOUT HAVING TO MAP THE NETWORK DRIVE!!!  (maybe because the index catches the "bingo folder" being CURRENTLY ACCESSED
    INDIVIDUALLY when I pull up the "Bingo.txt" by clicking it's shortcut on my laptop....
    you guys can play around with this... DON'T KNOW WHY the "index" didn't show "bingo.txt" (residing on my desktop downstairs) until I placed a "shortcut" to the "Recent Places" folder on my laptop desktop screen... might have something to do with the "complex
    index parameters" of Win 7, etc... but I don't have the time to try an trace it down, or test it, etc.  
    ... The win 7 indexing system MAY INDEX ANY SHARED FOLDER from another networked computer WHEN IT'S BEING ACCESSED LIVE on the win 7 computer... is probably what's happening... so I didn't have to "map the network drive" but I did have to "BE ACCESSING A
    FOLDER from another computer" for it to INDEX THAT FOLDER... now I don't, for example, know whether the INDEX system of my win7 laptop (running in the background) might not index a folder IF IT WAS DOING SOMETHING ELSE IN A BRIEF TIME that I was accessing
    the folder from the other computer.
    Win 7 index, from my experience, does seem to give some preference to INDEXING files you have recently or are currently accessing... if that helps.
    anyway,
    hope this helps some

  • Can I create a network object from CIDR format or do I need to use IP - netmask?

    Have a cisco ASA running ASA V 8.3
    Wondering what the correct syntax is or even if it is possible to create a network object from a list of IP's in CIDR format? 
    Typically just do this:
    Create network-object
    object-group network name
    network-object 1.2.3.0 255.255.255.0
    Would like to do this: 
    network-object 1.2.3.0/24
    thanks!

    Hi,
    As far as I know the ASA does not support entering a network/subnet mask in such format in any of its configurations.

  • Airport has stopped working -- Now Can't Create a Network

    We're using a wireless router (not an Apple AirPort router) to connect to the internet. We've had connections before, but now this has simply stopped working.
    In the past, I've solved this problem by just creating a new network and connecting to that. That seemed to get the connection back.
    Now, I create a network in Preferences > Network > Airport, but it doesn't show up in Internet Connect > Airport, or under the Airport in the menu bar.
    When I try to connect to it using "Other" I get the message "There was an error connecting to the network XXXXX".
    When I click on "Create Network" in Internet connect, it only gives me an option to create a computer-to-computer network.
    Ethernet connection works fine. This is on a PB 12" / 10.4.11
    Any suggestions most welcome.

    Reset the printer back to Factory Defaults and check the wireless radio again. It needs to be enabled.

  • Can you create an image map that will link to a different element on the same page?

    I have used image maps before and know how to create an image map to link to a new page.  In this case, however, I want to be able to click on my image using an image map and load a new image with text on the same page as the image map.  Is this even possible?  Is there some sort of behavior that allows you to create same-page links, perhaps using AP divs?  I want the end result to be a type of gallery that loads different images depending on where you click on the main image.
    Again, I don't even know if this is possible.  Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows Can't Detect Wireless Network

    I have a windows xp laptop which can't detect the wireless network i've created with airport express- but it seems to be able to detect other networks around the area.
    My two other machines (one macbook and the other xp) does pick up the network.
    It seems like everything is working fine. 2/3 computers can pick up the signal, but just one of the computers can't! And i've repaired and reinstalled the driver for the wireless card, but it just won't detect the airport express signal!

    That link does not help.
    The network card on my windows xp machine works fine. It can detect other networks in the building and works at other WiFi spots.
    I think its something to do with somthing in XP and Vista that is preventing it from detecting Airport Express' signal.
    I've increased signal robustness- still doesn't work.
    I've removed the password- still doesn't work (obviously not a security problem).
    I've updated the software- still doesn't work.
    I'm very confused as my XP machine did detect it initially and connected to it successfully earlier this year, but it doesn't anymore.
    It seems like the network can be detected by some windows machine but not others???
