A60 w/Vista64 and loss of network connection 4 GB... (unsolveable)

Hello

Don't know if someone else have stumbled upon this problem, or know any quick fix for it. One of my desktop at work, an A60 - 8991 - 36G, is used as a testbed Vista64 and to get the most out of this system, we wanted to up the memory and got chips of memory 2 GB and installed... When running with the chips of memory 2 x 2 GB Gigabit network card stops working, run it with 1 x 2 GB or 1 x 2 + 1 x 1 GB and it will work perfectly.

When running with 4 GB the BIOS of the system of reports / Vista64bit reports 4 GB and 3 GB. Installing the latest version of the bios (2NKT31A), and Vista works with the latest version of windows update fixes and all the drivers have been udpated.

Lenovo/IBM has forgotten to upgrade their BIOS to support 64-bit addressing and memory allocations? Or the system simply is not 100% compatible with Vista 64-bit or 4 GB memory inserted?

-Arnvid-

Just talked to Lenovo/IBM Global Services and their response was... «Buy a new motherboard, this model supports only 3.2 GB of memory»

So end of line... no point running with Vista64bit on this computer amd64

  • 2012 R2 VM server traffic causes a loss of network connectivity

    I'm having a problem.  Currently, I pay for a hosted dedicated server.  There are 2012 installed r2 server.  It has a single network adapter.  I created a virtual internal switch and am currently using NAT routing to assign DHCP addresses and share the internet connection of the NIC to the virtual switch.  Any time there is network traffic on the VMS, it causes the Intel adapter disconnect.  If I download something on the virtual machine it almost forces me to go to the control panel for the host and restart the machine.  The error is less and I am happy to provide any other information that may be useful.  It is not a card Broadcom QMV is not the issue.  However, I checked to make sure that the Intel card is not activated QMV and it does not have this option.  Any assistance that could be provided would be appreciated.

  • Printer all in one, loss of network connection

    I have a Photosmart HP 5510.  This is only about a year, but is now always lose the network connection.  I configured correctly (it actually worked!) to the wireless router.  Most of the time now when I need to print, it tells me that the printer will not communicate with the computer.  I took it out of the network, put it back on, and he said: it is connected.  I have not printed the network status page, everything is OK, no problems found.  So I'm still not able to print? It's very frustrating.

    I set it up to my Macbook Pro and my iPad.  He has worked on both devices, but I can't seem to get it back in shape now.

    I have looked on the forum here and have seen many many people with the same problem, but most seem to be using a Windows operating system.  Any ideas on what to do?  I really need to print!

    I did reset the router that worked. It happens every few weeks for some unknown reason. I'm in. fiber.

    Check the support site for the manufacturer of the computer and make sure that you use the latest drivers.

    If the support site has a newer version of the drivers and installed current ask drivers the most up-to-date drivers use this method.

    Download the drivers and extract them to a folder of your choice.

    In Device Manager, right-click on the adapter.

    Click Update drivers and choose her browse my computer for drivers.

  • Implementation of the LACP Protocol in vDS without loss of network connectivity

    Hello

    Situation: a 2 node Cluster esx with a vDS with 4 physical uplinks. VDS has 4 trade (management, 2 for vmotion
    (and a PG for the vm network).

    What are best practices to implement LACP without interruption to network connectivity?

    I read about some problems remove some uplinks to an existing vDS. If someone does this?

    Best

    Alex

    Here is a video I created using LACP with the VDS 5.1.

    Configuration of LACP on a vSphere 5.1 Distributed Switch - YouTube

    Like I said before, any time delete you an uplink it there is a risk of disruption of the network. You then create new distributed port groups that are needed.

    High level:

    1. Create new VDS
    2. Remove 2 uplinks from the former VDS (chance to drop ping)
    3. Add 2 uplinks to the new VDS
    4. Configure LACP on the new physical ports and VDS
    5. Create groups of port required on the new VDS
    6. Migrate virtual machines (chance to drop ping)
  • Updated IE7 to IE8 and lost my network connection, get the error "network cable is unplugged" which is not

    After upgrade, network display icon with a red X through it indicating "network cable is unplugged" - which is not.  System Restore gave me back IE7, but without two of the toolbars (I've since found the fix for this - but too late).  Tried a system restore and now completely lost internet connection - IE will not launch.  Always get the message "network cable is unplugged".   I have reset the modem, but nothing works... should I ask Microsoft, HP, or my service provider (Rogers)?

    Thank you

    Christine

    Hello MsC_99

    Check the modem on the back of the system where the cable ether net branch. Think you that shed light on this subject? If this is not the case then you may have a problem with the NIC or ether net cable may have problems. If you do this then try uninstalling and reinstaling the NIC in Device Manager. If you don't see the network adapter in Device Manager then try booing the system BIOS and make sure that he is seen here. Let me know what you find. Thank you.
  • NETGEAR 7550 & printer HP Photosmart 5520, loss of network connection

    Connect a new printer HP Photosmart 5520 using Netgear 7550 DSL Modem and router with AT & T Wireless.  Software installed without any error, but after 5 min or so nothing is able to connect to the printer.  Restarted the printer and ping started the ip address of the printer.  Once the printer is connected to the network, I was able to ping it, but after 5 minutes the ping failed.

    Other deviceses wireless have no problem connecting to resources (internet, file shares, etc.).

    I also took the printer at home to see if the problem exists.  Printer had no problem and was able to ping from one day to the next.

    The problem seems to be a combination of the Netgear router and this printer HP (firmware?).

    Any suggestions in addition to the uninstall of the printer/scanner software?

    Well Yes. I would say replace the router - and not to buy an another Belkin.  Stick with brands like Linksys or Netgear.

    When I migrate all servers to host containing the Member of NLB cluster virtual that I can no longer connect to one of the other 7 members. But the strange thing is I can reach any other machine on this host as well as not been transferred there recently (I don't know what triggers it)

    The migrated machine can reach any other machine not in the NLB cluster.

    The cluster is located in multicast. and is in the same subnet as the other servers.

    A while ago, I had a similar problem, i.e. do not install and loss of internet connectivity after you apply Windows Server 2003 SP2 on SBS. In this case, we have solved the problem with the support of a Customer Support person Microsoft, a service through which we paid.

    According to the suggestions that I found in the Microsoft Web sites, I managed to remove everything that was installed by the KB2478658 and KB2518864 updates and the reinstalled successfully. I did these manually because I don't have an internet connection.

    Your question of Windows is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums as it is related to a problem with small business server. It should be better in the Windows Server Forums of business.
