Wireless, Network-manager, dbus problem

Hey, I'm trying to connect to wireless network at school using dhcdbd, gnome-network-manager, nm-applet... and it works but get disconnected constantly. Don't know much about networking so could use some help. Here's some output with lots of dbus errors...any ideas? Thanks.

When I configure a Wep key to my wireless internet
sharing network, my windows installed notebook can't
connect to my iMac. But when I set up it free the
notebook connects easily.
There does seem to be a known issue with a WEP encrypted software base station and Windows clients.
As far as I am aware there is no way to get a Windows client to connect to a WEP encrypted software base station (sharing internet via Airport on a Mac).
I tried both with ASCII and
HEX keys and generated them from:
You could try a ASCII key of
1234567123456
which will be a HEX key of
31323334353637313233343536
However if this doesn't work then nothing will.
I don't know what to do and I don't want to set a
wireless network free for security problems. Does
anyone know a solution?
Yes, get a wireless router and use that, it really is the only suitable solution.

Wireless network management solution

We are running a pilot project to deploy a centralize wireless solution for our campus. The pilot consists of only about 20 Cisco1200 access points. We are in need of Network Management solution to manage these access points. The NMS would have to pretty much behave like what we already have into place for our wired networks such as: alerts on snmp traps, thresholds settings, data capture, administration,etc, in general be able to proactively check possible shortcomings on the infrastructure and help to troubleshoot problems. Once we fully deploy the centrally controlled wireless network, there could be any way from 1200 to 1500 access points, so whichever system we choose must be able to scale to these numbers.
Im interested in knowing which wireless network management solutions are the preferred one from the audience on this forum. Your input will help me to narrow down possible options.
Thanks a lot for any information.

I would suggest that you go for the WLSE. CiscoWorks WLSE is a centralized, systems-level application for managing and controlling an entire Cisco Aironet WLAN infrastructure. For more information on this read

Finding the wireless network manager utility

how do i access and open the wireless network manager on my imac?

On my 10.6.8 iMac there's an inverted triangle at the top right section of the screen. Click on it, and a drop down menu will appear. Click on network preferences> a window will appear>click "Turn Airport on" and start managing. Hopefully,your Mid 2007 is similar.

Yoga 13 Wireless network authentication problem

I recently bought Yoga 13 and it is a wonderful machine, but since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't connect to my university Wi-Fi.
Recommended authentication method for the university's Wi-Fi is WPA-enterprise/TKIP and it's using personal certificates. Before the Windows update, there was the WPA-enterprise/TKIP option in Wireless Network settings, but now it's gone and it only supports WPA2-personal and WPA2-enterprise with both using AES encryption. I thought, that this is driver problem so I tried both drivers available on Lenovo Support site (I couldn't find this driver anywhere else), but that didn't work.
My last resort would be contacting ma faculty's IT technician, but he would charge me for setting my Wi-Fi, and I don't want to pay for something, which was working few days ago and which wasn't my fault that stopped working (stupid authentication method for university Wi-Fi constantly causing problems is different chapter entirely...)
Thanks for any advice.

It's not a new problem, it's a known problem that no one cares to fix and they continue to sell non-working products. I have a Yoga purchased in Feb 2014, it CAME WITH WINDOWS 8.1 INSTALLED! I invested in a brand new computer to keep my business operating smoothly, only to find out I just dumped a ton of money into the worst peice of junk I've ever owned. The intel wireless adapter is "not compatable"?!? Lenovo had me reinstall over the phone, it worked for 8 hours. Next day- no internet. I took it to the point of sale, they went to the Intel website and downloaded the driver again. That worked for another 12 hours. Every time I move locations and have a new access point, the internet doesn't work. So far the only "solution" offered is for me to send in this brand new business investment to be repaired, which could take 3 weeks. Sure, I'll close up shop so ya'll can work on a POS that was sold with faulty/ incompatible/ not yet compatible drivers (I really don't care what the issue is, only that is is a KNOWN ISSUE that Lenovo acts all surprised about). Every service person I've talked to doesn't have a clue what is going on, yet I can go online and find pages and pages of this very same (unresolved) issue!
-different router and access point does not work
-factory reset does not work, you're just reinstalling the same "incompatible" driver (that mine came with, I did not "upgrade" to anything)
-BRAND NEW, internet has been an issue since before any other programs were installed.
Now my pointer is missing again, so I get to waste another several hours reading through pages of similar issues to try and figure that debacle out. I miss my 15 yr old VAIO!

Wireless Network Management with Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Profile

Could anybody explain me about how Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Network Name (Network Profile) ? Configuration will be pushed to Windows 7 Pro from Wins Server 2008 R2.
Objective: Multiple office locations will have different SSIDs and when the laptop user travels one location to another, he/she could connect to wireless networks at any offices without any configuration change but utilizing "Automatically use my Windows
logon name and password (and domain if any.)" setting in EAP MSCHAPv2 properties.
Network Name: Enterprise
SSIDS: SFO-WIFI, LAX-WIFI,CHI-WIFI,NYC-WIFI,
Network Type:Access Point
Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise
Encryption Type: AES
Network Authentication Method: Microsoft:Protect EAP(PEAP)
My question is: (1) Will Windows try all the SSIDs in order to get connected to the Wireless Network at the office? (Let's say, user is in NYC, but will Windows try to find SFO-WIFI SSID first, wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to LAS-WIFI SSID,
wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to CHI-WIFI and finally tries NYC-WIFI SSID and found the SSID in the beacon from Access Point and authenticates through RADIUS?
(2) If the answer is YES, what is the waiting time/timeout setting for one SSID before moves on to another?
(3) If the answer is NO, what is the process to get user connected to NYC-WIFI SSID when he/she is in NYC office within the range of that SSID?

Hello Ninjago_2224,
About the multiple office location have different SSIDs, does the location A has the signal used in
location D?
Please go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
, and then click Manage wireless networks.
The windows will try to connect to these networks in the order listed.
Please check if the four SSID pushed by Windows Server 2008 is listed as mentioned above.
If the location A have the location D SSID and the location D SSID has higher priority, the Windows will connect to
location D SSID.
So about the question 1, the Windows will try the SSID in order.
About the question 2, I can’t find the accurate time that test one SSID and move to another. But based on my test, it is very fast.
For more information, please take a look at the following article.

Airport does not detect wireless network; it says problem = [network]"connection timeout"

It is not a problem of signal strength, and my Airport detects other networks. It used to detect the network I want to connect to, for two years. It suddenly stopped detecting the network (which is WPA Personal password-protected). When I select choose other network and type in the password, it won't connect to it claiming "connection timeout."
This happened before. Then after several days, Airport was able to detect and connect to the network I want. Now it again won't detect the network, and this seems permanent short of taking measures to address the problem. Should I try connecting manually to the network, and hodo I got about that? Thank you to anyone out there ho might be able to help.

i have a macmini (OS 10.5) and use a belkin wireless router. When I turn on Mac address filtering on the router I have an Intermittent problem. The airport does not recognize the wireless network. On the network preferences panel there is a message that the airport is using a self assigned IP address. sometimes the message says the airport has no IP address. If I turn off the Mac address filtering and use a WAP password only the network is recognised and connects without a problem. How do I resolve this? I dont have the problem with a iBook using system 10.4. Is turning off the Mac address filtering secur?

Connecting to Wireless Network...PROBLEM

Hello! I hope some of you out here in the cyber world can help me with a problem I am having. I was previously able to connect to my wireless router and then about two days ago, I started having problems. I would suddenly lose my connection to the internet. However, if I went back to the airport icon, and rejoined the network, I was able to get back on. Now I cannot get a connection at all. I am able to join the network and I can see the strength in the airport icon however when I try to access safari, it tells me that I can't connect because "my computer is not connected to the internet. I know the problem is not the router because another laptop in my home is connecting to the network without any trouble. I am thinking it must be something with my macbook and the settings. Any explanations?
Any help will be much appreciated!

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but I am desperate. I set up my wireless network at home using WPA and a password. When I set it up I set it so that the pass word would be remembered in my keychain. It worked fine until I walked away for 30 minutes and when I came back it went down. Now when I try to get back on the network my password doesn't work. When I went to my settings to investigate the problem I was shown that my password is now different it went from a 8 digit password I created to a 30 some digit password I have never seen. Can anyone help with this problem. I am running 10.4.11 and have a dlink wireless router. Thanks in advance

Need HELP! connecting to wireless network; IP Address problems!

I am trying to connect to wireless networks using the AirPort built into my MacBook Pro. There are two specific networks I am trying to connect to, both are WEP protected. I know the passwords and can get into each of them but I cannot connect to the internet, which is the main reason for connecting to them in the first place! When I go into System Preferences and click on Network, I see that next to AirPort it says I am connected to the network but may not be able to connect to the internet because my computer has a Self Assigned IP address. I assume this means my computer is not receiving an IP address from the network. I am set on full auto with DHCP. So what's wrong? Please Help!!!

That indicates that the MacBook Pro did not successfully communicate with the DHCP server on the network. Do those networks have access control (MAC address filtering) enabled? If so, the best solution is to reconfigure the base station so that this feature is disabled. This adds no real security since MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned.
If you can't disable access control, you will need to add the MAC address of the wireless interface of your MacBook Pro to the list of allowed clients.

Wireless network management software for iMac?

Hello all
I am running a home WLAN via a cable modem + Belkin N Wireless Router, with my Intel iMAc wired to the router, and 3 PC's with wireless connections.
All running perfectly!
However - I would like to be able to control the network from the Mac, specifically as follows:
- have visibility of all machines connected at any time
- have visibility of the bandwidth consumption of each machine
- be able to "bandwidth throttle" each machine, ie allocate maximum "shares of bandwidth"
- be able to schedule bandwidth throttling per machine, as well as set manually
Is there any software that does this for the Mac, and that is recommended by users on this board?
Note that I have zero understanding of router functionality and therefore accept that this question may or may not make sense!
Thanks in advance for any help / recommendations

Rick - thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Yes there are controls in the router to manage internet access for each client on the network but they are simply of the yes / no variety - allowing the admin to just turn access on or off.
My teenage kids use Internet access for a variety of (legitimate!) purposes but my ISP (Virgin Media) imposes automatic "traffic management" bandwidth throttle on my connection (from 10 MBPS to 1 MBPS for 5 hours) if our overall bandwidth consumption exceeds 1,200 MB between 4pm and 9pm (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html)
Needless to say, getting my kids to monitor and limit their own traffic during this period is impossible - so I would like to be able to automate the policing of traffic levels fairly amongst 3 concurrent users during the trigger time slot 4pm - 9pm without having to resort to a blunt "on/off" policy.
From your reply I guess that my router provider (Belkin) would be the best source of information regarding available software for this - assuming it exists ...?
Thanks

[Solved] Network manager restart problem

EDIT: I had to disable dhcpcd, now everything works fine.
Hi,
I've been using Arch for couple of months now and my network worked fine. It worked out of the box, no settings were necessary, I'm fairly sure I didn't touch any of the network related files.
So now I've decided to install NetworkManager and it works. The service is running, applet is running, it is listing all the wifi networks nearby and my ethernet connection. Also the internet works, so it's just like before I installed it. But the problem is, if I restart the service (systemctl restart NetworkManager.service), my Internet no longer works. I cannot connect to any website. Browser tells me that the server could not be found. Restarting the computer fixes the problem and everything works just as it should.
It's not necessarily a big problem, I can live with it, but I'd like to figure out what's the problem. I don't know much about networks so I don't really know what information could be relevant. Thanks.

I did some more experimenting and it's weird. If I stop NetworkManager.service, internet works. It's only after I start it and I get the "You are now connected to so and so" message that internet dies. But it doesn't die fully that's the weird thing. Wikipedia loads without styles and Google search works completely. For anything else the server cannot be found.

WRT160 wireless network / zyxel modem problem

Hi All,
I want to ask some help with this one. I have a pc (vista) wireless connected to the WRT160 router. This router is connected to my ADSL-connection with a Zyxel modem. Everything by the book. Unfortunatly I can't get on the internet. If I connect my pc directly with this modem with a LAN-connection I can go on the internet. It seems that the router doesn't 'talk' with the modem and therefor I can't get on the internet. Can someone help me with this problem?
Thanx in advance.

Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If you are getting Ip - 192.168.1.X ...change the LAN Ip to 192.168.2.1 ....Power cycle for 3-4 minutes ...
Try going online
If still not working ...use Internet Connection type as PPPOE .... Use Username & Password provided by Service Provider ....
Click save settings....
Look for WAN IP address again under status page ....

Network Manager and Wireless

I have a Broadcom 1390 mini wireless on a Compaq v3000 series laptop with AMD Turion64 processor.
I have been trying to activate it for some time now. bcm43xx did not work. i compiled ndiswrapper, blacklisted bcm43xx and managed to get wireless detected. I used wifi-radar to connect, but strangely the gnome network applet and wireless network manager showed as no network though wireless was connected and working. I had enabled wlan0 in rc.conf and all details entered as per the wiki.
I removed networkmanager from rc.conf daemons and added network. Now wireless connects at boot without a hitch. No need for wifi-radar. This is after so many reboots that this occurred to me, so I thought i should share this and perhaps find out if there is something wrong in my approach. I am new to Arch (about a few months) though I have been with Ubuntu, CentOS etc for a few years now

Coinago:
Your enc idea did not work...
How does one enter WEP key 10 digit hexadecimal in rc.conf etc. I tried it straight, then XXXX-XXXX-XX both as key and as enc. It did not work. Do I have to insert an "=" somewhere. I am a bit at sea. I got the wireless going thru wifi-radar. I use gnome, no KDE for me.
I would like to crack this so i have wireless at boot in my office. It was working fine with entries in rc.conf when there was no key. So it is obviously about entering the WEP key in the right format and place..

Airport Express, Vista and FON Wireless network

Hi. I have a strange behavior on my wireless network. I configured my Airport Express as part of my wireless network managed by the Fonera (FON Network router). The Airport Express is always on as the wireless network. Yesterday all was working fine and I was able to play music and surf the net without a glitch. I started iTunes, the software found and connected the remote speakers and music was playing while I continued to surf. Today I restarted Vista and connected wirelessy to the Internet. As soon as I started iTunes I found that my Airport Express was no more available (it was still on since yesterday). I started the AirPort Utility, found the Airport Express and went again through the process of let it participate to my network, reset the WPA and add (again) the password. The Airport restarted but it was unable to find any wireless network. The reason is that in the process the Fonera has been reset to different settings!! I put again the right parameters in the Fonera and is back working. How come that adding the Airport Express to my network, the wireless network itself is reset? In my opinion this should not happen. Any ideas? Thank you very much, Massimo

Hi Donny
I had the same problem with my airport. In the end I got it printing by sending it to the Ip adress of the base station(10.0.1.?/192.168.2.?). I sent it through a custom made port which went to that Ip adress as well.
Hope this helps.

EOS WFT software causing wireless network failure.

I have set up the Canon WFT pairing software and the EOS utilities on my windows 8 laptop computer.
Normally when connecting my camera wirelessly to my computer I use a TP-Link portable hub to which nothing else is connected and there is no internet connected, this works fine as I can use it easily anywhere I go without having to set up the WFT settings on the camera again for different wireless hubs ip addresses etc.
When I am not using the WFT software my computer will be connected to a different wireless hub for internet access and connection to other devices I live between two houses in different locations each has it's own virgin high speed wireless broadband internet system.
The WFT Pairing software starts automatically when I start my computer whether or not I intend to use it.
Since installing the WFT pairing software I noticed my laptop had poor performance connecting to the internet via the wireless internet hubs with frequent disconnections and that other devices on the same wireless network also had problems and lost their connections. This also occurs when I visit friends when I use their networks.
At first I did not connect this issue to the pairing software, however it became evident it was this laptop causing the problem because it occures in every location I connected to a wireless hub.
I have now conclusively proved that after stopping the WFT pairing software in Windows Task Manager all devices connected to the wireless hub function normally again in all locations restart the pairing software and they will all fail again.
Is this a known problem? and is there a solution for it?

Hi RobertTheFat
Yes thats clear, Since I found it was the cause of the problem I have it's automatic start up disabled and I check with task manager to make sure it is not running when not using the WFT, then when I need it I start it manually but it doesn't change the fact that it causes the network problem when it is needed and running.
I have a suspicion that either Windows 8 or Norton 360 might be preventing it from detecting the camera and that it is constantly poling the network trying to find the camera, this could be the reason the network goes down.
An interesting fact is that I do not have any problem accessing anything in the house such as the NAS drive or printer or other computers when it is running, but it pulls down the external connections so i cannot get reliable internet connections which makes it difficult to get any remote help.

How can I set up a wireless network between two Mac Mini's (media centres)?

I've just received my second mac mini (core duo, 1.83, 1 Gb ram)and want to set up a wireless network to link this with my original mac mini (PPC 1.42, 512MB) and my Belkin wireless router (g std).
I'm using both as media centres in different rooms and want to keep all my media (films, photo's, music etc.) on one mini (connected to a 640GB external drive) and access it over the wireless network. Sort of a more felxible Apple TV setup??
I've got the wireless network working no problems with both mini's connected to the internet over the network but I'm stuck at how I get the two mini's to see each other. I've tried "the Missing Manual" and these forums but no success so far.
I know it can be done but would really appreciate any suggestions/directions on what to do?
Thanks in advance<<br>
