X220 Tablet Access Connection IP/DHCP Problem

I have following problem with Access Connections: Everything is working fine when the ip is set to DHCP. If I come frome home (static ip) and I am going to work (a different static ip) the ip gets not changed. Is there an option to reset the ip to dhcp automatically?

hey SciLor,
judging from your post over here, i'm guessing that if you have DHCP under auto-allocate you are not able to connect at home but you will be able to connect in the office ?
in your Access Connection, i do believe you will be able to create two different profiles. In each profile, see if you can set the IP address in it.
that way you just need to switch between profiles.

  • Access Connections Application Tray Problem

    I have brand new Lenovo series T61. Plenty of RAM and diskspace. New install. XP PRO SP2. When I change locations the first crash item I get is Access Connections Tray. Followed by several other tray items and then any open applications that require an internet connection. If I use ethernet I do not get any crashing. It is hard to reproduce at one location as it only happens when the laptop is moved between home and work. It happens at either location. It seems to be wireless related. Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, Kevin

    Hi,
    This is a common situation, when there is only an upgrade of once component upgrade, like Access connection and the ret is not upgraded.
    In this case I would advice to perform following steps:
    - uninstall AC
    * reboot the machine
    - install the latest version of following apps in following order (don't use TVSU)
        .NET 3.5 SP1
    * reboot
        Power management driver
        Power Manager
        System Interface driver
        Hotkey utility
        Wifi driver (NOT from intel.com, but from lenovo.com)
    * reboot the machine
    - install Access connection 5.6x
    * reboot the machine
    This will inicialize the Wifi driver components with the latest version of AC.
    Let me know, your update on this one.
    What is the system, that you are using? T60?....
    Cheers

  • T23 Access Connection "Create Profile" problem !

    Greetings All,
      I'm attempting to setup the profile section. The "Find Network" button is unresponsive. I even manually entered the SSID and none of the other fields are fillable. Version is 5.85. Have "allow all users" checked to create profiles. I also do believe I have all other software required installed. Any expertise appreciated.

    Mornsgrans,
       Thanks for the help. I guess I won't be able to use AC on this T23 as the only device I have is the Ethernet card "Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection" which is for the RJ-45 port. The only wireless device is our Linksys cardbus 54g card. I have a PSREF sheet for the T23's and it says some have a Mini PCI 11b Wi-fi wireless card, I guess this one(2647-2TU) is without.
       If I've missed something, advice appreciated.
    Sincerely,

  • X220 tablet power manager

    Just did a clean install on a mSata drive in my X220t. Everything works fine after installing the drivers (sceen rotation etc). But I cant get the powermanager to work. I installed the latest driver (windows 8 beta). I install the installer, and the installer installs the PM, but after a reboot the program just isn't there. I can't find or open it. 
    Anyone got a suggestion of what i'm doing wrong?
    all drivers installed: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT072084

    I have an X220.  Installed Power Manager, Hot Key, Access Connections with no problem. I had to click on the "Troubleshoot Compatibility" to install Access - then click on an option where I could say "this program worked on Windows 7" and then "next" and it installed with no problem.  The "compatibility" option tried to make the program compatible with XP SP3 but I clicked I think the other option on that screen and was able to basically force it to try and run as W7 compatible. 

  • X220 Tablet docking power loss

    I recently acquired a secondhand Series 3 dock (removed the aligner and rubberbumper thingy so it would fit) to alleviate the issue with the power jack on the unit itself being broken until the replacement part arrives. I'm wondering if power loss on docking is typical for this model or if it's a symptom of something significantly worse. OS is Win7 Ultimate, i7-2620m, 8GB RAM, two-finger screen, busted power jack if any of that matters.

  • Access Connections does not accept Windows Wireless Config

    Hi All,
    We are rolling out RADIUS/802.1x wireless lan in our enterprise. The wireless settings are deplyed via AD grouo policy - no problems there.
    I have an issue when i configure my access connections (ver 5.21) on my T61 machine. I configure AC to use Windows wireless security settings whcih are picked up correctly. The issues occur when i switch from this profile to another profile for exampls and vice versa. AC seems to think that i need to configure my wlan security settings each time i switch to that profile and wont connect. I get an error message:
    The SSID 'WM2009' selected for this profile must be configured in windows. Click OK to configure the wireless settings in Windows'.
    I know that the wireless settings are fine, as i can connect with the window wireless client fine - its just AC that has the issue.
    Any ideas appreciated!

    Domain policy wireless profiles are not compatible with Access Connections.
    The problem stems that Domain profiles are stored in a different part of the registry than a locally created WZC profile.  Since these are part of the domain policy, they cannot be altered locally.  Microsoft wouldn't provide Lenovothe encryption used (for obvious security reasons), so the domain policy based profiles can't be manipulated by Access Connections.
    But we do provide an ADM template that can be used to do much the same things.

  • Access Connections - Many APs with same SSID (Again)

    I have a W520 running Access Connections 6.11 (release December 2013) on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.  Access Connections is still broken in regards to dealing with multiple Access Ponts having the same SSID.  It keeps hoping from one access point to another regardless of signal strength of the AP.  
    The most desirable strategy would be if Access Connections would find and lock on to the best signal strength AP and stay there.  However, it doesn't do that.  It acts almost randomly.  It also keep shifting around.  The rate is almost random as well.  Sometimes it will stay locked on to an AP for up to 10 minutes, at other times it shifts in as little as 30 seconds.
    Other laptops, from other manufacturers like HP, Toshiba, and Apple do NOT exhibit this behavior on our campus.  Other Lenovo machines running Access Connections DO exhibit this behavior.  The problem is NOT machine specific (ie, not hardware or some weird idiosyncracy of the particular W520 i'm posting about).  The problem is Lenovo's Access Connections.  The problem is also not a configuration issue with the campus.  I have a network at home running Airport Extremes all having the same SSID's and the W520 in question does exactly the same behavior there.  Totally different hardware at home vs campus and same behavior.  I cannot change the names of the AP as a fix.  This is not a capability in the configuration of the AP's.  Even if it were, I shouldn't have to do it.  Campuses are often configured in this way.  Campuses that are large commercial users who I believe are the most lucrative Lenovo customers.
    This problem has been going on for literally years with different versions of Access Connections.  Here are two threads in the Lenovo Community I found in under 30 seconds.  Neither was solved correctly.  In other words, Lenovo never fixed the software, and people had to either give up or resort to kludge solutions in their campus configurations.  
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Is-it-possible-to-default-to-a-specific-Access...
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Access-Connections-Many-APs-with-same-SSID/m-p...
    Lenovo has actually made the problem progressively worse over time instead of fixing it.  They have done this by removing the abilty to prioritize AP's by MAC address.  Initially, Lenovo allowed you to configure 5 MAC addresses in order.  Then, Lenovo removed that capability making it possible to only give a single MAC address as preferred.  Finally, in recent iterations, Lenovo removed that capability alltogether.  The box is still there in the UI, but it's greyed out.  It is very frustrating to have this kind of thing happen.  The prioritize capability is fundamentally a kludge, but at least it's something to give a bit of a workaround.  Now we don't even have that.
    Can a lenovo engineer please look at this issue and give me a timeline for resolution?
    BTW, It is still not possible to configure Access Connections with a blank SSID either.  I bring this up, because if you're going to fix the Access Connections code for multiple SSID's, you should be aware of the blank SSID problem as well.  I imagine they are both in the same part of the Access Connections codebase, at least from a logical standpoint.
    Thank you.

    I found that there is a setting in the Intel driver (15.9.1.2, released 8/22/2013) for the wireless card (Centrino Advanced-N 6205).  The setting adjusts the "roaming aggressiveness".  I can only guess this means how often the driver goes out and tries to find a "better" signal and/or bandwidth.  The card supports a/b/g so the calculus is complex as to what constitutes "better", and I have no idea how sophisticated the algorithm the driver uses is.
    That said, if I set the "aggressiveness" to the most aggressive setting, things work somewhat better.  They are still not as a good as other wifi managers bundled with competing products (specifically HP, Toshiba, and Apple so far), but it helps.  It does appear that more of the time now, the AP having the best signal appears to be the AP the laptop is attached to.
    Lenovo, please consider that forcing your customers to dig around in arcane driver settings and relying on the whims of driver writers and hardware companies to do things correctly and well, is a recipe for failure.  Your customers are just going to get annoyed and say to their colleagues, "My old Toshiba seemed to do a better job of WiFi connections. I think next time, I'm going to have IT get me one of those again."   And, of course, that colleague will look a lot harder at buying the Toshiba instead of the Lenovo, as well.  Wifi connectivity is a very big deal for people who have to move around - and lets not forget, this is a laptop we're talking about, which is explicitly designed to, well, be moved around.
    I apologize for being so pedantic, but it often takes such measures to get managers in these companies who control programmer time, to take these issues seriously and allocate the programmer resources to fix these problems.
    The problem I am having is still not considered "fixed."  I would very much like to hear any other solutions that work better.  I would love to hear from Lenovo on the matter.  Still waiting.
    Thanks.

  • Exporting Access Connections profile / Import to Windows Wireless

    Hi All.
    I have an issue which i really hope someone have a solution for as either googling and searching through 53 pages on this forum has not provided me with an answer. Here goes...
    The hospital on which i'm working are about to change their IT-infrastructure and when this migration takes place i will no longer be able to use Access Connections. I have about 30 profiles in AC and all of them with a security key which would be hell to setup again through windows wireless.
    Do any of you know of a way to export profiles from AC and then import them to Windows Wireless?
    Thanks in advance!

    I share your pain with same Intel WiFi Link 1000 bgn.  After many, many hours yesterday I am now solidly running Wireless N at 144 Mbps on a LinkSys E4200, 99% reception from 30 feet away.  
    Previous to yesterday I could not get 'N' to work at all.
    First, if you have a newer dual frequency Router, this Intel adapter only supports 2.4ghz..
    1. I am using Access Connections 5.85, Windows 7
    2. Router: 2.4 Ghz Network Mode: Mixed
    3. On my LinkSys router Channel: Auto NEVER worked for either  'G' or 'N'.  I picked channel 4 by chance and things got better.  No further experiments. 
    3. Channel Width: Auto (20mhz or 40mhz).
    4. Earlier forums indicate WPA2-P and AES must be selected.  That's what I am running.
    5. Numerous references to "power" conflicts.  Set all Power Management to Maximum Power. 
    (Control Panel -> Device Manager ->Network Adapters -> Intel WiFi Link 1000 bgn -> Power Management)
    (Access Connections -> Wireless Settings -> 4. Advanced Configuration-> Maximum Performance)
    If you followed these steps, Wireless G should be working stabily for you now.
    Now for the secret sauce to make Wireless N work:  go to http://communities.intel.com/message/82098#82098
    See Feb 3, 2010 post How to get 5100 AGN to connect at N speed?
    I am indebted to this guy.
    Save the instructions!  For some reason my EDGE 14 wireless totally quit this week and that's what sent me down this wireless rabbit hole again.  At least this time I was able to make N mode work for the first time.
    Frustrated but relieved,

  • Problems with Ericsson F3507g card - does anyone understand Access Connection​s log files?

    I am having big problems getting an f3507g mobile broadband card working on a T500 running XP Pro.
    Have had problems with several machines all supplied in the same batch and it turns out that the BIOS needs to be reset to defaults post installation of the card for it to be properly recognised by the OS.
    Anyway, all machines are now fixed with the exception of one....
    Everything looks okay on the surface - the F3507g card is showing under Device Manager, just to be sure I've reinstalled Access Connections and loaded drivers for the card.  I know that the driver install was successful because it pinged up with the standard driver install success message - 'Windows found new hardware...' about half a dozen times immediately following the install.  Having done the driver install I attempted connection and the CA Internet Security Suite Firewall popped up asking whether I wanted to accept the device as a 'Safe' device - clicked yes to that.
    However, attempting connection never works
    I've tried enabling logging and the log file produced together with a fault report is here.
    I have tried the SIM card under test in another machine and it works. I have also swapped the HDD out of another identical brand new machine and it works with the hardware including the Ericsson card - so the issue has to be software related...
    I could reimage but the user will loose some graphic design application software which is very difficult to reinstall.
    Hope someone that understands Access Connections WWAN debug log files or has had a similar experience might be able to point me in the right direction...
    Many thanks

    @ Deadloss,
    have you checked the power settings in the cards properties? Not that windows is turning it off?
    Are you using a factory image or your own custom image, I'm thinking that maybe a reimage might help ??
    @ schm1tty,
    T-Mobile SIMs work fine, what problems are you having? Maybe you could start a new thread so as not to hijack this one.

  • Access Connection​s fails to launch - "has encountere​d a problem and needs to close..."

    I have an R61 with XP, SP3 installed.  The underlying functionality of Access Connections appears to be working properly (I have access to both Ethernet and wireless using profiles previously established), but when I attempt to launch Access Connections (from system tray icon, Programs, etc.) I get the error message,  "Access Connections has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience," and the option to send or not send an error report to Microsoft.  This makes it impossible to create or edit location profiles.  I first encountered this error several months ago with AC version 5.33 (might have also seen it under 5.3).  Subsequently I have upgraded to version 5.50 and have the same problem. Today I uninstalled AC, restared, reinstalled ver 5.5 (from a fresh download), and restarted.  I still encountering the problem. 
    Additional information:  Norton Internet Security (2010) is installed.  Microsoft and ThinkVantage patches are up to date.
    Please recommend "next steps" in troubleshooting or a way to resolve this issue.
    Thanks 

    Hmmm... could be a corrupt profile.
    Try this.
    1.  Uninstall Access Connections (but don't delete the profiles)
    2. After the reboot, open REGEDIT.
    3. In the left pane, expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Lenovo
    4. Still in the left pane, right click on Access Connection and choose export
    5. Assign an appropriate filename and click Save (I suggest somewhere on the Desktop).
    6. Right click on Access Connections again and choose delete.
    7. Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Program Files\Thinkpad\ConnectUtilities directory.
    8. Delete any files in this directory.
    9. Reinstall Access Connections v5.50
    10. Try and create a profile.
    If you still get an error trying to create a profile, then something else is broken.  Be sure you have .NET 3.5 SP1 (it may be under optional downloads in Windows Update).
    If it works fine, then you have a bad profile.  Unfortunately, there isn;t an easy way to figure out which one other than try and error of delete profiles and trying one at a time.
    To restore your profiles.
    1. Unistall Access Connections. Reboot.
    2. Double click the saved .reg file on your Desktop and answer Yes to merge it into the registry.
    3. Install Access Connections. Reboot.

  • Problem with Access Connection

    Hi there At the moment I am using Lenovo T61 with Vista Business & SP1. In addition I have got the Access Connection v 5.12 and Intel Wireless card number 4965agn.I saw that, when Wireless network is open my T61 can established connection with more than 130Mb transfer both by access connection and Vista systems settings.  Unfortunately when I set WPA/WPA2 security my T61 by vista settings can establish connection more than 130Mb but by access connection is established only 54Mb. I also saw that Access connection establish 802.11g standard (when the WPA is set) instead 802.11n. (When Wireless network is open then established 802.11n standard).Is possible to get any hotfix to Access Connection to solve this problem? RegardsPawel

  • T60p & Windows 7 Pro and Bluethoot problem with Access Connections.

    Hi,
    I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro (64bit) at my T60p laptop.
    I use Access Connections (v. 5.97) manage my wi-fi, lan connections.
    (installed with all features lan, wi-fi, modem etc.)
    So here is problem.
    When I start Access Connection. Bluethoot goes ON ...
    Trying disable Bluetooth via Access connectios (Power Off), but it's still going "ON" and stays "ON"...
    Any good solution to keep bluethoot off without disable it at bios?
    Earlier version of Access Connections keeps bluetooth OFF...
    /P

    If you are not using the Bluetooth and you want to disable it, the easiest way is to disable the device in the Device Manager.
    Go into the Device Manager by searching for Device Manager in the start menu, Open the Device Manager and select hardware, choose the Bluetooth device, right click, and finally choose 'disable'. If you want to use the Bluetooth device in the future you will have to return to the Device manager, right click and 'enable' the device.
    I hope this information has been helpful, please let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Access Connections Problem / AVG Problem connected

    I have been having a problem with Access Connections (henceforth AC) connecting to an Apple Router that supports 802.11 b/g/n.  It would take many many many attempts and after about 5 to 15 minutes of retrying - I'd finally connect.
    And I had a second problem with AVG.  AVG is the antivirus program I'm using. It's resident shield (avgrsx.exe) would take all of one of my processors on my SL500 laptop running Vista Home Premium.  It wasn't clear to be that this problem was connected with the first - but stay tuned.
    I had updated to the latest version of AC and saw no relief.  So I thought perhaps I'd uninstall it and start fresh - with a reinstall.  So I did the uninstall - keeping the profiles that I had defined.  But before I did the re-install, I thought I'd try it 'as is' and see what happened.
    What happened is that my system booted and connected to the Apple Router immediately.  And, where AVG's resident shield was running flat out before - now it was hardly running at all.  My conclusion:  1) AC has some serious problems, especially when combined with AVG. 2) It's not clear to me why we need AC at all, at least for 802.11.  The base Vista and Intel programs seem to be doing a good job for 802.11.  I cant say for Wireless WAN or WiMax, I'm not using either.
    Now this part if just speculation, but I'll offer it in case the owner of AC sees this.  It may provide a clue to what's ailing AC and s/he can fix it.  The clue is the problem with AVG.  The component with the problem was avgrsx - the resident shield.  That's the component that scans an exe file as it comes form the disk into memory.  That AVG was pegged (100% on one processor) indicates that something was fetching a lot of things from disk over and over again - that the problem went away when I uninstalled AC points the finger to AC at the problem.
    In support of this, with AC installed, after it had made the connection to the Apple router, I would see CPU utilization spikes at regular intervals (somewhere around 1 sec, i think, plus or minus quite a bit) even after the connection was made.  These too went away when I uninstalled AC.
    Sooo.....
    After this, I decided to not reinstall AC and just stick with the Vista/Intel approaches for my wireless.  At least that's where it is for now.

    I recently experienced the same problem using a current (2009/11) version of Access Connections and a Linksys router, plus AVG 8.5. Access Connections was extremely slow to start and there were regular (every second or 2) bursts of 100% cpu activity in 'avgrsx.exe'.
      I have opened incidents with both AVG and Lenovo concerning this but am not confident of a resolution being provided. However, in the meantime I have found a bypass I'd like to document for others to reference. It opens a small security hole though, so be aware.
      AVG's Resident Shield can be configured with 'exceptions' to its scanning range. If the directory containing the Access Connections executables (which I will not explicitly name in an Internet posting) is added to the exception path list, the CPU bursts cease.
      If additional information becomes available through my vendor incidents I will post that as well.
