Cannot remove a network connection

For some reason any one of my connections is always considered connected. I can't connect/disconnect or remove it, it keeps showing as connected, and he says I can't delete because it is connected.

I don't know what to do? It do not work or do anything from now on, it just says that it is connected, and it's bugging me.

    Hello

    Follow the steps below to remove the old network connections on a Windows vista computer.

    (1) use your mouse to click on the start menu, and then select Control Panel.

    2) click the button on "Network and Internet" Control Panel and select network and sharing Center.

    3) click on the tab "manage network connections".

    (4) find the old network connections you want to remove in the scroll bar. According to the number of connections you currently have in Windows Vista, it is possible that you need to scroll a bit to find the one you want to delete.

    5) click on the old connection you want to remove.

    6) click on the button 'delete '.

    (7) to confirm your selection by pressing 'Yes' when asked if you are sure you want to remove the connection. You can also choose to press 'Cancel' or 'No' to return to the previous screen and prohibit the removal of the connection.

  • Questions of ESXi 5.1 ISCSI--> cannot establish a network connection (continued)

    Hello world

    I had a problem there not too long ago (thread link below) where my ESXi hosts could not establish a connection with an IBM DS3500 on start up and "rescan", however their connectivity worked correctly without any problem after commissioning and when a "rescan" finished. We determined that the most likely cause was the unit IBM itself. However, I wasn't completely satisfied.

    In order to deepen the question and dismiss my guests being the problem, I created a unit ISCSI myself with two new hosts of ESXi 5.1 (version 1157734).

    ESXi signals that it cannot connect to the initiator ISCSI (network error) - but it can run virtual machines and browse data stores?

    The configuration is the following:

    Test environment:

    2 x ESXi 1157734 hosts

    1 x server Freenas ISCSI (ZFS R10)

    At the start of my ESXi hosts in the test environment, download the same error as our production environment. They also put on the same error message (in the event log) when I "rescan" map of the ISCSI software. However, once the scan is finished, I can't see any error message and everything continues as it should (Round robin, active active). I can get a brilliant flow also. It's as if the errors are almost... false positives?

    Example of the error message (test environment):

    Connection to the iSCSI target

    IQN.2011 - 03.org.example.istgt:iscsi on vmhba35

    @ vmk2 has failed. The iSCSI initiator couldn't

    establish a network connection to the target.

    error

    17/10/2013-08:33:35

    ESXi hosts are configured as follows:

    Test environment:

    • (ESXi hosts) Two network cards for ISCSI, one for VM traffic
      • NIC1: 10.20.20.2/24, NIC2: 10.30.30.2/24
    • (Freenas) Two network cards installed on the ISCSI device (dedicated to ISCSI traffic)
      • NIC1: 10.20.20.1/24, NIC2: 10.30.30.1/24
    • ESXi is set to round robin, which works properly (I can max on both ports at the same time)
    • Two VMKs are related to the ISCSI Software initiator and defined to dynamically discover the two ISCSI addresses
    • Unity of ISCSI and the hosts are not on the VLAN, the switch is dedicated to ISCSI traffic (However in the production, the two networks are separated by VLAN.) I removed the in the test environment to simplify everything)
    • The vSwitches (who hold a single VMK for ISCSI) are fixed:
      • "Promiscuous" mode: reject
      • Change of MAC address: accept
      • Forged passes: accept
      • The traffic shaping: disabled
      • No NIC teaming (obviously)
      • Each VMK inherits the settings of these

    Quick points:

    • My hosts use VMware approved NIC in my test environment. My production environment runs on full VMware hardware approved
    • Can I use ping of vmk join each each VMK ISCSI initiator
    • I can use the nc-z target_ip 3260 command to check connectivity to the port
    • The ISCSI test has two network adapters, each on 1 Gbps ports
      • I can get around 800mbps per port when copying lots of files (both ports are active)
      • I see no error in copying a large number of virtual machines around, or backup files
    • I only see errors on start up and "rescan".
    • I have two network adapters on each host ESXi dedicated for ISCSI. Each NETWORK card has a single VMK. A single mapped port on ISCSI, the other is mapped to port B (I used to have two VMKs by nic, but I removed that in order to simplify everything)
    • I have updated the firmware on our switch of production. No results
    • I've used 4 different switches in order to avoid a network problem. No results
    • I tested ESXi versions 5.0, 5.1 (799733 & 1157734), all have the same mistakes
    • The ISCSI ports are on different networks according to the VMware (I was told not to put on the same network VMKs)

    Any ideas? It's starting to drive me up the wall. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I've seen several times in recent months and was beginning to think it is specific to the HP P2000 units because it's the only time wherever I saw him! I now believe that ESX/iSCSI rather than issues of driver or table.

    On my last install, I found that errors occur as soon as the table is connected, i.e. before any storage is displayed.

    Single host ESX, no guests. 2 Intel adapters to 2 HP past by dedicated HP P2000 1 GB table with all 8 wired ports.

    All roads are good, all lights are in the State expected.

    It did not affect the use of the storage in question to any site, so there has been no need / a momentum of any further investigation.

    B! 886y annoying however!

    I found the problem (s), even if I am always left with a few questions.

    During this process, I have disabled the firewall, but that did not help. However, I noticed 'tweaks' accessed via the tab 'Advanced' in 'Microsoft Firewall' which looked like, they must be checked in order to access the internet. I checked these and reintroduced the firewall. After I got things working, I unchecked them and things still worked so I obviously don't understand what these parameters.

    The solution:

    (1) I have to go straight from the modem cable to the computer. I can't have a cable modem, router wireless, computer, even if using hard wire, and even if this same configuration works with another computer. Also, I can't use a cable length to go from modem to the computer. So, it seems to have had a problem of cable length. Power problem? Only connected to this computer devices are the mouse, the keyboard and the Ethernet. Would not this be fixed with an upgrade of the power supply? Or is it due to the quality of the Ethernet hardware on the motherboard? It's a Dell Vostro 200.

    (2) in back and forth between configurations while following the problem, you must think to unplug the modem to reset between each configuration. You may have stumbled upon the solution, otherwise he's not shot. Also, I unplugged the cable from the modem when you reset data cable - do not know if it was necessary. I wanted to limit the degrees of freedom that I had a lot, as it was.

    Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

    Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.
