Workaround for TC connection issues

Like many TC users on this forum, I started having frequent internet connection problems recently, which may have been related to the rollout of a new version of Airport Utility and new firmware for the TC. After reading various posts in this forum I tried several fixes, but none worked, so I then tried a workaround with an old router I had lying around and am now up and running fine again.
The problem I was experiencing was frequent, irregular internet drops. It was most noticeable with streaming video, like Netflix Watch Instantly or Hulu programs, but it happened with any internet usage, even in Windows XP under Boot Camp. I have a DSL connection and could plug in to the modem directly, bypassing the TC, and then the internet connection was just fine, so it seemed likely to be a TC issue.
Unsuccessful fixes attempted included:
--reverting back to the old TC firmware and reinstalling the old version of Airport Utility,
--unchecking the SNMP logging and configure over WAN options in Airport Utility,
--limiting wifi to one band (2.4 vs 5 gHz) at a time to try to overcome the dual band problem some thought might be resulting from the new firmware.
I even bought new ethernet cables to rule out that as a possibility.
None of this made a difference, so I thought I'd replace the TC with an old router in the interim, and then it struck me I could keep the TC and just plug it into the old router. The wifi security on the old router is lacking, so I turned off the wireless option on it and just use it as a wired bridge between the DSL modem and the TC. My internet connection drops are now a thing of the past, and I've retained the full functionality of the TC.
If you're having frequent internet drops on your TC and you have an old router lying around you might give this a try. After 5+ hours of troubleshooting it was a real godsend.

Disconnect any ethernet cables to the WAN port.. Connect ethernet from LAN port to your computer.. Press and hold reset for 10sec.. then it will come back.. Open airport utility and redo the setup.

Workaround for go connect to Server

Am looking for a workaround for using the go>connect to server command so that students won't see that school Administrator's computer is actually accessible. (yes, there's a password, but...)
Previously clients (OS 10.2) were bound to server (OS 10.3) but that caused lots of freezes while computers not busy between classes.
Tried logging in and creating an alias, but it was only valid for the account which created the alias.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: now if I enter the specifc IP address of the Windows system, it DOES find (thankfully!) my Windows system for file sharing.
Any advice? Why would this all of a sudden stop with the Browse feature? Thank you.

Hi,
I just wanted to follow up. It looks from your bug comments like the issues you experienced in AIR 3.2 have been resolved AIR 3.3.
Are there any outstanding problems that you're seeing with regard to the issues you've described that we need to look into further for AIR 3.3?
Thanks!

I am going to get a replacement for my iphone 5C, for data connection issues. Can I get an 5S, instead of antother 5C as a replacement?

Hello, I have been having issues with my iPhone 5C for about a month now. I have unlimited everything, including data, & so randomly, starting about 2 weeks ago, my data basically does not work for any apps, besides like iMessage & Safari. So like if I have full LTE signal, I can try to open the Instagram app, and it will tell me "no internet connection", & it tells me that with ANY app, besides iMessage & Safari. Which is super frustrating, especially when I try to use like Maps or something & it jut does not load, & tells me that "there is not an internet connection", so I have to use apps & stuff only on wifi, in order for them to work. I went to the Sprint store, and had them try and update the data profile, reset data network, soft reset, etc (they basically did everything that I did), & they could NOT figure out what was wrong with my phone. So, they looked into my warranty information, and told me to take my phone to the Apple Store, and just get a replacement & that it would cost me only $50, since it is still covered under warranty. I am not up for an upgrade until April of 2016, & as far as I know, when it comes to replacements, Apple will either give me a new/refurbished iPhone 5C as a replacement. I don't really mind having to pay a little extra if I have to, in order to get a 5S , & I also don't care if the 5S would be either new or refurbished. So, my question is, could I maybe get a 5S as a replacement, instead of another 5C?

Need helps for remote connection issue

Dear guys,
Today, I got a problem regarding remote connections. My Oracle stopped responding to remote connections. (tried to connect by sqlplus with service name, and sqlplus hung) Tnsping works. Local connection works (tried to connect by sqlplus without service name).
Have to stutdown by sqlplus and oracle did not respond. Shutdown the server (windows server 2003 standard edition), system stop responding (guess it was caused by oracle service). Had to shutdown by pushing the power button. After it restarts, everything come back to normal. No error is logged in alert log.
Any ideas regarding this issue? Many thanks.
G.B.
Still studying this issue. Found an SQLNET.log in the %ORACLE_HOM%/NETWORK/LOG fould. It reads:
Fatal NI connect error 12638, connecting to:
(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))
VERSION INFORMATION:

Seems it's related to authentication service issue. So, I just commented out SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS) from sqlnet.ora even my database functions well after restart. But I'm not sure if this is the solution and still wondering what's the root cause of this error.

Hi there!
Modify the following entry in sqlnet.ora
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
to
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (beq,none)
and you will be fine,

10.6.2 Still no fix for SMB connection issues

Sorry folks 10.6.2 has not resolved the issue with connecting to a Windows(yuck) server using SMV where the share has multiple mapped drives. Seems to work fine for connecting to a single shared drive where it did not before but multiple drives still a no no.
Roll on 10.6.3!

Hi Direwolf8
It's the same issue that most people are having in a number of other threads.
Basically in the Finder if you select a network drive (or in the printers dialog windows shared printer) that has a number of named shares in it you can only connect to it once. For example:
We have a file print server - called FP. On FP are a number of mapped drives. (Databases, General, Departments etc). In the list of Shared locations (left column of any Finder Window) if I select FP and the drive I want it connects and lets me view the files. However if I close this Window or try to connect to another shared drive it times out and doesn't even show a list of the shared drives on the FP.
The only work around is to use: go/connect to server and then smb://ip_address:139 (from http://www.macwindows.com/snowleopard-filesharing.html#090209d ) However in this work around you have to select ALL the drives you may wish to connect to and have them mounted on your desktop. If you close the connection or want to connect to a different share it times out. Leaving you needing to restart.
The other work around touted of using a fully numeric password is not an option (according to our IT department)
It's the same with network printers. You connect to the server with the printers on it and set up a printer. If you want to add another printer on the same server you have to restart to get it to show the list again.
I know its not a server set up issue as I have 3 Leopard Macs (10.5.8) running and connecting fine. Its defo a Snow Leopard thing.
I was really hoping this issue would go away with 10.6.2 but denied!
If anyone has got this working PLEASE post your solution here. Its the only thing stopping me from Upgrading my Mac Pro to Snow Leopard!
Appreciate any help anyone can offer on this!

A POSSIBLE FIX FOR RE1000 CONNECTION ISSUES!

My Amazon Review for the Linksys RE1000:
I have been an Amazon customer for several years and this is my first review ever. I'm only taking the time to post this review due to my utter frustration with this product.
Here are the bullet points of my experience.
1) I consider myself to be extremely tech savvy and pride myself on having the patience to eventually get technology to work.
2) I have purchased two of these units. I returned the first one out of frustration (also wanted to rule out a defective unit) and spent countless hours trying to make the second one work. As many reviewers have stated this unit constantly drops the router/internet connection. Mine never lasted for more than two minutes at best. It just constantly cycled the connection on and off over and over again.
3) Linksys Tech Support is provided by foreign nations and proved totally worthless.
4) I literally tried every tech suggestion I could find online via Google. I did my best to leave no stone unturned assuming somewhere there had to be an answer. If you can find a suggestion online, believe me, I tried it.
5) After 6 hours with my second unit, VICTORY! Through a rigorous trial and error process I FINALLY GOT MY UNIT TO WORK!!!
6) My solution (not sure if it's going to be everyone's): 1 - Flash the unit with the most updated firmware via the support site (using an Ethernet cable). 2 - Download the auto setup program from the Linksys website and run it following all the instructions. 3 - Here's the MAGIC TRICK that worked for me. Once you have it set up and running you are free to change any setting in the firmware EXCEPT "WPS" under "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" which is under "Basic Wireless Settings". I REPEAT in the "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" under "Basic Wireless Settings", "WPS" must REMAIN ENABLED and LEFT SET AS IT IS during the auto setup. 4 - Use a static IP address and 20 Mhz only for channel width to ensure a stable connection and to minimize wireless interference. 5 - Verify the proper strength and quality of the signal under "WLAN Statistics" and reposition the unit (and/or change the router channel) as necessary.
7) I have TESTED this multiple times, turning the WPS on and off repeatedly. My connection drops or stays active based ONLY upon this setting (even after plugging and unplugging the unit from the electrical socket). I can literally set my watch by it. No other setting has this negative effect and I've changed them all.
8) I suspect half of the reviews are positive regarding this unit because many are simply using the auto setup successfully and then leaving their settings untouched. Unwittingly touch the wrong setting (WPS) and you're back to square one with a useless gray box.
9) This unit has the potential to be an excellent product, instead it's a nightmare to deal with. My guess is it's a victim of lousy firmware and lousy quality control via Linksys. The shame is it could probably be quickly fixed with a simple firmware update.
10) I hope this review helps others with their frustrations. I'd be curious to know.

PS: One last tip! If you really want to play it safe, be sure set your router's LAN IP address to anything other than 192.168.1.1 (use 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.107.1 for example). That is the default address for the RE1000 and it's been known to cause an IP conflict with many routers that use the same default IP address. Apparently changing the static IP address on the RE1000 is not enough, as the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 still adheres to the RE1000 (hidden somehow) even after the fact for some unknown reason.

Fix for wireless connection issues on MacBook Pro - reinstall OS!

I hope this helps some of you out there.
I was having all the usual problems with connectivity with the MacBook Pro I bought in January 09. It dropped the signal constantly and if I closed the top, it would make me search for my network again then it would give me the "connection timeout message" over and over again. I couldn't get anything done either at home or anywhere else. I finally took it in to the genius bar but they couldn't replicate the problem so I was sent home. The guy did, however, suggest reinstalling the OS (which I thought was a dumb idea since it had to be the airport card right?). Since it was a week away from the release of Snow Leopard I waited.
Once I installed Snow Leopard all was fixed. It has now been almost 2 weeks and I haven't lost a signal once - the difference is amazing. I feel liberated!!
Try a reinstall or upgrade to 10.6. and good luck. Post here to let us know if it works for you. Don't forget to backup your date first!

Nope I'm not trying to tether. I would like to be able to use a wifi connection on my mac and other devices. I've gotten by so far just hooking up my mac to the ethernet port, but that requires me to be in my room. I know its possible since there a bunch of networks nearby (locked of course), but I just can't figure out how to get mine working.
I'm living in an apartment across the street from campus that is sort of school-owned...well its private but the internet service is provided by the campus since only students live here. So we have to register anything that we want to use on the school's network. On campus I can use wifi on my mac or iphone. Its troubling how I can use the ethernet cable just fine, but when I connect it to my router (which I registered through the school as well)...nothing. Technically this should be working easily - but maybe you're right on the network security accessability...or maybe my router is old...or my mac doesn't like my router? I've had this problem before during my undergrad years except I was dealing with a cable provider and not the school.
Maybe I should just make friends with my neighbors and find out how they set up theirs haha.

Potential workaround for green frame issue

Hi,
We are sorry for the the inconvenience caused by green frame issue on some laptop models.
To work around the issue that some users are experiencing in the 1.6 version on specific machines, current suggestions is to add 3 more lines above the last two lines of shared.xml that is located in the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c\LocalState
Note: Make sure Skype is closed (press ALT+F4 with the Skype app open) while you are modifying shared.xml file and make sure you save the changes in the file before starting Skype again.
Also if you don't see AppData folder in C:\Users\your_username go to View tab and check Hidden items checkbox.
</Lib>
</config>
should be replaced with
<Video>
<EnableWideSupport>0</EnableWideSupport>
</Video>
</Lib>
</config>
Please try this and post if it solved your issue.
Thank you in advance

In addition to the above fix, we would be grateful if you were experiencing green video that you help us by doing this:
Please go to Search, type dxdiag and run dxdiag.exe, go to Save All information and send generated DxDiag.txt file to kmudrovcic at hotmail.com.

Solution for FaceTime connectivity issue

Read this if your FaceTime sometimes works and sometimes not:
What I have experienced was that at home I could not FaceTime with whatever mac device (iMac / MacBook / iPod touch) reliably. Sometimes it was possible sometimes not.
The same devices in another network (my GF / Apple Store) FaceTime was reliable.
In another thread on AD I found this suggestion to change the DNS into the google DNS 8.8.8.8
This finally after months of trouble shooting solved the issue. I consequently changed the DNS on all devices into 8.8.8.8.
I went as far as to reproduce the fault. I changed my iPod touch DNS back into 192.168.1.1. restarted. FaceTime failed. Then a minute later changed DNS back to 8.8.8.8 and again FaceTime was possible.
I'm so happy that this is finally solved.
iMac 10,1 Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I tried all the network DNS settings on my router and on my mac, I tried re-installing the application, I tried deleting the .plist file.... NOTHING WORKED...... HOWEVER.....
I called Mac support half hour before they closed last night, and in that time we managed to establish that the problem lies with preferences or faults with my USER account, NOT my network settings...
Try it yourself - Create another user account called 'TEST', log out of your main account completely (Don't use fast user switching), log into your TEST account and use FaceTime... Bet you it works!... It did for me!
I'm in the process of transferring all my documents and mail accounts over to the new user account I created. (As I also had other problems... Like Safari and Mail warning me ALL THE TIME that certificates weren't trusted... It was driving me nuts)
Good luck people, let me know if it works for you....

Cannot reach live chat for a Photosmart 7520 connection issue

I am trying to reach live chat for a connection issue which I dealt with last week with my Photosmart 7520. I have case number and my printer is under warrenty.

I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

Connection issues with EA4500

I had bad connection issues with my mobile device, so i pressed reset on my EA4500 router, and now when i connect to my network, it gives my limited connection even though i have 5 bars of signal. Not sure what to do now...

Resetting the router will erase all the settings you configured on the router since the initial setup. You manually configure the router's wireless settings so your wireless devices can have internet access again.
Procedure: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=cfb50c0dc992443ab2405a782cca60f7_19073.xml&pid=80&...
Make sure to use a computer that is hardwired via Ethernet cable to the router.

Itunes store connectivity issues

I am new to itunes. I have never connected to the store, however, I recently downloiaded version 8 and attempted to access the itunes store and received multiple errors. Specifically: "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes store unkown error -3212 and unkown error -11222" The term used was check your network connection and try again. Since I have read the previous posts, I must admit I'm a fairly pc illiterate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Problems connecting to the iTunes Store often stem from issues with the Windows firewall or a firewall in a router, a privacy filter (such as McAfee Internet Privacy Service or Norton Internet Security), an antivirus/antispyware utility, or a download accelerator. Start here:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store Connection Troubleshooting
iTunes for Windows: Connection Issues when using Internet Filters, Accelerators, or Firewalls
Tunes for Windows could not establish a secure connection to the iTunes Store
iTunes for Windows: Possible iTunes Store Errors
for some basic tips to start isolating the cause of the problem. What you may need to do is temporarily disable any such service and see if that fixes the problem. If so, then if it's a firewall/Internet filter that's causing the problem and you'll need to set the offending service to allow iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store. If none of what you read in those articles makes sense to you, you may want to recruit a friend or family member who's more experienced with computers to help you.
Hope this helps.
