OS X :: XP - Leopard VNC Disconnects As Soon As Connect

Nov 25, 2009

I'd like to be able to VNC to my Mac at home. Here are the steps I followed (on my Mac - latest version of Leopard)

1) In the "sharing" control panel options I turned on Screen Sharing

2) In the screen sharing options I set "allow VNC access with password" (or something like that) and set my password

3) On my airport extreme I entered "manual setup" and in the port forwarding menu (I forget what it's called) I selected "remote desktop access" from the dropdown menu. That seemed to add the correct ports (5900 was one of them), and I entered my local IP address for my mac in the dialog as well.

NOW, here are my symptoms:.........................

OS X :: VPN PPTP Disconnects From Windows Network On Tiger And Leopard

Jan 15, 2008

I'm connecting to a VPN network and while I can connect just fine and connect to a remote desktop (using latest RDP) and a "local" IP, it will disconnect me after a few minutes. This happens on both my Tiger (wired) and Leopard (802.11n/5ghz) machines. Similarly, I loose connection if I SSH to one of the linux boxes on the server. However, when I connect to the same VPN network using a windows machine, it stays up perfectly. I thought at first it was just Leopard, but my Tiger machine did it too. The connection is fine on my end.

OS X :: External Hdd Randomly Disconnects?

May 18, 2009

I own a few external harddrives, however one in particular (western digital 2tb) will randomly disconnect and a window will show about "device removal with the red little stop sign shape" then it will randomly connect again (and sometimes i have to physically unplug it and plug it back in), does anyone know what is going on here? None of the cables are being touched, it's really strange, the only thing i can think of, is maybe i have a loose usb cable and need to replace it? or maybe a faulty usb port?

OS X :: Comcast Disconnects With Mac - Not Windows

Jun 12, 2009

We have Comcast internet hooked up to a Linksys router. When only Windows machines are using the connection, everything works fine. When I use my Macbook Pro on the connection, it works for a while, then eventually the connection dies for everyone, and usually restarting the modem makes it work again. I am now trying to use the connection on Windows XP on my Macbook Pro using Boot Camp, and it seems to be working, so it seems like the modem doesn't like something about Mac OS X.

Software :: Random Disconnects While Using The Net

Feb 7, 2009

I didn't know where to put this question, so I thought this would be the most appropriate. My computer (A macbook pro, with mac OS X, version 10.4.11) will randomly disconnect from the internet, mostly when I'm playing online games. Sometimes I can play for hours, other times only minutes before the next DC. I can restart and it will work for a few more minutes. The funny thing is it only does this when using the wired connection at my apartment, when i'm using the wireless at college it works fine. Part of my inquiry is checking if it's my computer or the ISP. None of my roommates have similar problems (though they all use PC's). One interesting thing I found when a tech from the ISP was trying to fix things is when I try to renew my IP it gives the same address after it "renews". I know I threw alot of jumbled info out there, but I'd like input from someone who knows macs.

MacBook :: Internet Automatically Disconnects On Other OS X?

Nov 24, 2010

I've got a MacBook 3,1 (White, late 08 model) which is happily connecting to the wireless network but refusing to use the internet. Other computers on the network use it fine.

What's more, when I restart to my bootcamp partition, the internet works fine. It's only in Mac OS that I have a problem.

OS X :: Frequent Wireless Disconnects - How To Repair

Mar 31, 2007

When I turn my computer on or wake it up, I am 'connected' or so it says, but I am never able to reach the internet until I (wait a long, seemingly random amount of time or) disable my wireless adapter, re-enable it, and select my wireless network.

I did not experience this problem prior to:

-Trying out a new AirPort Extreme, returning it and going back to my old G router. The AirPort worked great for this computer, but it had problems with the PCs and the xbox 360 (yes.. i know there is a workaround now...)

Hardware :: Wireless Network Disconnects Itself From The Net?

Feb 27, 2010

I have the Samsung SCX 4500w and its IMPOSSIBLE on wireless network.

Once I have paired it, which I?ve done four times now, after some time, for some reason - it disconnects itself from the net.

So I cant access the IP adress, even though the configuration-report says that its still connected and has the same IP. So it wont print, unless I turn it off, and pair it with my router again.

Samsungs customer service refuse to help me. They dont have a clue on how to resolve the problem when it comes to Macs. They dont even know OSX, they dont know the interface. They are just guessing what I have to do, and its shocking and awkward.

Samsung really sucks with customer service for Mac!

Does anyone have this printer? This is driving me completely insane, and I dont know what to do. Im considering returning it, and never buying a Samsung printer again.

This is too bad, because the function is great, quality and design is great too. The few times it works, its great.

OS X :: MacBook Disconnects Every Other Device To Internet

Mar 3, 2010

I just bought a MacBook. So far I am loving it. Unfortunately a very strange thing happens. Whenever I download something with the Macbook every other device at my house becomes unable to connect to the internet until the download is finished. It doesn't matter if it is a WiFi device or not. The connected devices are: a WinXP Netbook, an ubuntu9.10 desktop PC (please notice this is connected with an Ethernet cable, it's not wifi), a WiFi and a Samsung Bluray reader. To complicate things even further, I noticed that even the MacBook itself cannot do anything else (such as browsing the web w/ Safari and/or Firefox). I tried to download large files such as a movie from iTunes store and the iPhone SDK. The download rate is about 600Kb/sec.

I have a 6Mb/sec DSL w/ AT&T and the modem is a 2WIRE 1701HG. Granted, it's pretty cool to have a laptop that can hose wireless networks. These are some info from my network:

Safari :: Stop Using Disconnects From The Network?

May 5, 2012

This is a problem in Safari only (maybe it is too good for real connections) it can disconnect as often as every 5 minutes. No other browser has ever had this problem.

The ONLY way I know to make it reconnect is to kill it and launch it again. 

I´m just opening this here so that I force myself NEVER to use Safari again as I´m pretty confident this is not a bug but "a feature"  ... 

Of course, I´m typing this from Firefox.

MacBook :: Internet Sharing Through AirPort Disconnects

Sep 30, 2010

I've recently moved into student accommodation, which only has wired internet access in the rooms. This is fine for my MacBook, but causes problems for the iPad! So I've been attempting to share the MacBook's internet connection through AirPort using the "Internet Sharing" option in System Prefs->Sharing. This works great, but after a while it disconnects for no apparent reason.

I am not talking about closing the lid sleep mode because I am in desktop mode with an external display. Once I woke up my macbook it reconnects. Does anyone know how to stop this because I think it happened after 10.5.6.

OS X :: Airport Suddenly Disconnects - How To Prevent From Disconnection

May 6, 2009

I recently bought a late 08 aluminum macbook and have been quite happy with it but from quite some time I've noticed that while I'm on internet and on adium (where I noticed the most) the signal goes off for a couple of seconds and then it comes back. First i thought it was ok but it's been happening really often and is quite annoying since it happens several times a day and only happens to me and not anyone on my network (everyone else has pc`s and are also on wifi). So I wanted to ask.. is it possible my Airport card is failing? or is my router the one failing.

Mac Pro :: External SATA Drive Spontaneously Disconnects

Oct 2, 2009

Machine is an early 2008 Mac Pro. I'm connecting two external SATA desktop hard drives via eSATA (NewerTech Voyager S2 enclosures) and a Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable (connected to the 5th and 6th internal SATA headers). One of the drives is used as a Time Machine backup disk. This TM disk has been periodically disconnecting and generating warning messages about improper ejection. It reconnects with a restart, but usually will disconnect again within a day. I swapped the drives in the docks, so each was connected via the other dock, cable, and internal header. The same problem persists - the TM disk disconnects periodically despite having switched docks.

MacBook :: Bluetooth - Keyboard & Mouse Disconnects?

Oct 22, 2009

I've found many different explanations to why bluetooth on my Macbook would 'overheat' and then disconnect from all devices, only to show 'Bluetooth Not Responding'.

I was wondering if anyone has found a fix to this problem. I'm current on all updates running Snow Leopard. Normally, the bluetooth keyboard and mouse works for up to 5 minutes or so, but then loses its connection until it 'cools down' and then this process just repeats. The laptop is currently on a cooling fan and rarely needs the internal fan to even kick on so not sure what else to do.

IMac :: External USB Drive Disconnects Randomly

Jun 12, 2010

I have had my new iMac 21.5" for about 2 weeks now. Yesterday I picked up a 500 GB LaCie USB Drive to be used for my Time Machine drive. I have the drive connected directly to a usb port on the iMac. Sometimes when the iMac goes to sleep, when I wake up the iMac I get the dreaded "This Drive Has Not Been Disconnected Properly" warning.

I have made sure that the "Put Hard Disk(s) to Sleep Whenever Possible" option is not selected under the Energy Preferences. I have tried multiple usb ports, same issue. This isn't a constant issue, it just happens sometimes. Is there anyway to tell Time Machine to mount and unmount my drive when needed?

Hardware :: Apple BT Keyboard Random Disconnects?

Jun 15, 2010

Fresh batteries, no other BT devices close by, it's sitting about 2 ft from the iMac - nothing has been messed with.

I've tried re-pairing, still the same. Some sort of master reset I can do on the keyboard? Or is it just kaput?

Applications :: Airport Extreme - WPA Connection Disconnects After Sleep?

Apr 10, 2004

I'm using WPA encryption on my Airport Extreme via a Linksys WRT54G. Everything works great, except when my Powerbook wakes up from sleeping, the connection is lost, and doesn't reconnect. To re-establish the connection, I have to select "Turn Airport Off" and then "Turn Airport On" from the Airport extra, then select my network from the menu. It doesn't seem to be a question of forgetting the key, because it doesn't ask me for the key again when I do this.

So, (a) has anyone seen this behavior and (b) is there any known fix? I saw a couple other posts in a Google search referring to this behavior, but they were older posts, and didn't have any answers.

This is on OS X 10.3.3 BTW with all the most recent updates.
