'Other' connection

I have a late 2009 iMac, OS X El Capitan 10.11.5. Recently, I see an 'Other' connection in addition to my regular login information. I had never seen it before. This means a problem? I had been hacked? How can I get rid of him?

Other usually indicates that you have activated the root connection. Did you do that?

    I have Microsoft Vista Home Premium edition. I use the data card (broadband +, model - HUAWEI EC1262) to connect to the internet.

  • Products using Apple slows down other connected devices

    I recently started a problem where using an Apple with my AirPort Extreme product slows down or stops even connections other devices connected to the router. An example is when my iPhone download updates of applications, then my Mac, iPad, and an another android phone to family members cannot browse the Internet. Connecting to the Wi - Fi connection does not decrease, but there seems to be no access to the Internet through that when checking through airport utility it shows that the Internet is here.  Amother example is when you watch a movie to iTunes through my Apple TV, so I'm not able to browse the Internet on my iPhone.  I am currently using 6th generation airport extreme.

    Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens with the airport, having no function of Quality of Service there is no real way to fix it.

    I suggest to use different names and groups and forcing devices to a band or another problem... for example all the stuff on 5 GHz problem. See if that helps.

    I doubt it makes a difference, but what is the configuration...

    This modem do you have? What is a router?

    Is EI in bridge mode or router?

  • EA6900 - sky, on-demand and other connection issues...

    Hi all

    Newby to post on this forum has my camera for a few weeks now to replace an older WRT54G.

    I'll try and be as descriptive as possible and give you all the info I have and all that I tried in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction - live chat could not help!

    UK - user using VirginMedia fiber for wide band. I have their super hub 2 - but configured in modem mode, preferring my router. Which, as mentioned is new EA6900 to replace the old WRT54G who had got a bit tempremental. The model has no version only. so I assumed that ver 1.0, but it has the power switch. Firmware is the 863 it auto updated version. I disabled this now but alas too late that I read and I can't not the old version of 524 of support (see my other post).

    I have some questions other wireless an occasional reboot which I think could be fixed by downgrading of firmware if I could do it with!

    My question comes with a wired connection (via a switch and ethernet adapter power - but have eliminated these and will expand again) to use SKY service on request. It still worked before changing the router. After changing the router on SKY request I get a message saying ok broadband connection - I get an IP address valid to my assigned range, but it fails to connect to the service on request. I had control of the SKY and they insist, it is not a question to an end and sent signals etc. I have the same problem in three Sky boxes that used to work.

    I also saw this same problem/error with my PS3 which is no longer connects to the internet using a wired connection, it also crashes my switch - but was "bypassed" up to wireless, but even that had to be configured manually and don't work with the settings auto detected.

    I wondered if the use of adapters EOP was causing the problem or my switch that hangs off the coast of one of them, and is connected to that of sky boxes was the cause of error. To prove this, I got a long ethernet cable and plugged directly from the router to the switch - eliminate the EOP adapters but no change. I repeated the process but hard directly router cable to Sky box, but once again the same fault through the service on.

    I should mention that I have Apple TV not connecting the same switch (like the PS3 and sky) and it works fine no errors!

    I did believe all the stuff of sky - planners reconstruction, latest version of the software etc. but now it takes a config or setting I missed on the router which is the stop of service request to work properly, or a problem with the router itself.

    Sorry for the post of time-consuming but I wanted to capture and explain as much as possible. I'm technical with IT resonably as I work in the industry, but the network is not my area of expertise.

    Any help that can be offered is received gratefully :-)

    All,

    I just wanted to post an update...

    I finally found a resolution everthing has been resolved by adding parameters of OPENDNS server address to the list of router DNS servers. I have never needed these before always use those provided by my ISP, but I found the answer in a dark NetFlix forum - I don't yet use this service, but it seemed similar and solved the problem.

    I update incase it helps anyone else.

  • Problem: Error 633: the modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured correctly.

    While I am connected to internet using Reliance Netconnect Huawei 1260, the connection disconnects after 10 to 15 minutes. Shows as connected Netconnect but does not work. I try to disconnect the connection, but it gives an error.

    Reconnect to always remove the modem and then re - login again.

    Please provede me a permanent solution to this. I use Windows 7 Enterprise

    Hello

    1. If it works well before?

    2. what version of Modem drivers do you use? Do you have any other device connected to the computer?

    First of all, I suggest you to check if the modem is compatible with Windows 7.

    Check out the link:

    Windows 7 Compatibility Center:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    I would also recommend to connect the modem to a different computer and check if it detects there. If it does not work on another computer also, then the problem is with the modem and I would ask you to contact the manufacturer of the modem for any further assistance.

    Error 633 indicates that the port is already in use or is not configured for remote access dial out. You may need to check if the VPN and the connection connection try to use the same port that is causing the problem. You may need to check the settings of the modem and change the port for your needs.

    To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

    Method 1:

    Reserves explicitly the TCP port that is used for the VPN connection. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Start, click run, type regedit.exe in the Open box and then click OK.

    b. in the registry editor, find and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

    (c) in the Edit menu, point tonewand then click multi-string value.

    d. rename the multi-string value as 'ReservedPorts' and then double-clickReservedPorts.

    e. in the value data box, type1723-1723, and then click OK.

    f. exit the registry editor.

    Registry warning: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/

    .

    Method 2:

    Use the netstat command to find the program that is using port 1723. Then, end the process for this program. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. click Start, click run, type cmd.exe in the Open box and then click OK.

    b. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    NETSTAT - aon

    c. in the result which appears, identify the process ID for the program, if any, who is using the TCP port 1723.

    d. at the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:taskkill/pid PID/f

    Note: The taskkill command terminates the process that corresponds to the ID of the process. The/F option is used forcefully to complete the process.

    e. at the command prompt, typeexitand press ENTER to quit the command prompt.

    Restart your computer. This may cause the program that uses the TCP 1723 port to use a different port.

    I hope that helps!

  • 7.7.7 drops connections

    I installed 7.7.7 on my AirPort Extreme tall, it seemed to happen for two days. Then he started to remove connections to my Mac, iPhone and other connected stuff. All would pass without warning when using kill all the current connections. He would have to do this once every 15 minutes. My main Mac was the worst because it wouldn't reconnect automatically when wifi came back. This has happened for two days until what I finally had to return to 7.7.3 to maintain mental health and normalcy in my house. Anyone else having this problem?

    I have the same problem. Coming back to the old version, as well.

  • Bowers & Wilkins T7 Bluetooth speaker connected, no sound

    Connects to the speaker, but will not make a sound. It isn't muted in the sound preferences and it won't work for any sound, not iTunes, amazon etc... I have sound from all of these places if I disconnect and use the laptop speakers. Can I use the speaker with other devices, such as my iPhone.

    My macbook pro, retina, 15 "mid 2015 Yosemite 10.10.5 running

    Hi Larisa,.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with the T7, I hope that we can help you solve this problem!

    We have not heard of this problem before, but it does not sound as if there is a setting on the Mac preventing the audio to be heard (that you've properly read audio from your iPhone to T7).

    Do you have other Bluetooth speakers or headphones available to test with? It will be interesting to know if others connect and read audio data from your Macbook, because this will help you isolate the issue either with your Mac or the T7.

    Kind regards

  • How to connect Qosmio F750 to 2 projectors?

    I have a Qosmio F750 and 2 DLP projectors,
    a connected via RGB output and the other connected to the HDMI output via a HMDI/RGB adapter.

    I've set up the Nvidia control panel with 2 projectors with desktop across 2 projectors,
    both the value 1024 X 768. And then start windows Explorer by selecting a JPG image side by side 2048 X 768.

    The image is displayed on the screen with the two images side by side, projected from a projector, and the other projector displays the computer screen wallpaper.

  • Satellite P840 - Windows 8 - stop connection to the WiFi

    Hello

    My laptop has stopped to connect to my home wireless network, a week ago.

    When trying to connect it says 'unable to connect to the network', or connects for a few seconds change a limited State, then falls down. (no assigned IP address) When we look at the WiFi adapter network adapters screen turns off during the disconnection then re-active.

    I tried to connect to the other connections wifi with the same result.

    Steps:

    Reinstalled wifi drivers
    Tried to use an adapter USB WiFi (same result)
    removed the networking features in win 8, added again.
    Updating of windows 8 back to factory default.

    Can anyone suggest where this problem could be?

    Hello

    Like you had the same problem using the external USB WiFi dongle, I don t think that this WiFi problem is related to internal Wlan card.
    I guess that the question could be related to the combination of WiFi card and router Wlan.

    I recommend you to reset the settings of the router.
    Reconfigure the router and don t of first set encryption. It's just for testing purposes. It would be interesting to know if it would be possible to connect to the open Wlan.

    The next step: disable the TCP/IPv6 protocol in the network settings to use only the old TCP/IPv4 protocol and wireless.

    Next step: update the ip address by using the command: + ipconfig / renew.
    (in search, type CMD to start the console and here you can use this command)

    Next step: disable the firewall and check the settings possible antivirus. Some antivirus software may affect the connectivity.

  • Satellite C660-258 - Internet connection issues

    Recently, my laptop started to suffer serious problems when you try to connect to the internet.
    My download and upload slow to a crawl (only for laptop)

    Usually (according to speedtest.net) I get around a download about 4 but on my laptop it reaches maximum 0.09 dl.

    Whenever I restart my laptop it works kind of during about 10 minutes (I get about a 1 download), but then it slows down to a crawl.

    I confess that I am not the most tech savvy people so I only did the basics (turn it on and try again, other connections, reset the router, connect through a cable) but none of this has worked.

    Any help you could provide would be most welcome.

    Oh btw, my laptop is a
    Satellite C660-258

    Hello

    To be honest I don t understand your problem you have a problem with the internet connection is slow?

    Usually, this is not a problem or computer in the system but the problem with the connection provided by the internet provider (ISP).

    However, you compared the speed using LAN and WLan?
    Did you check the internet connection by using other WLan hotspots or other WiFi network?

    Do this!
