AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
 let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
let me know for any help !!!

  • Broadband meant to be Active but not connecting

    Hello i hope someone can help.
    I recently moved address and took my landline number and BT Account (inc BB) with me to my new address. This was at the beginning of September. I was told my phone would be connected on the 14th Sept with my BB being Active as of the 20th Sept. I received a text on the 20th saying my BB should now be available but it wasnt. I gave it a few days leway but still nothing.
    On Friday 23rd i made a call to support who checked my landline for faults (i believe all was fine) and they advised someone from technical would call on Saturday to speak to me regarding the issue. I never received the call and we are still not connected to the internet 7 days later. Im getting absolutely nowhere with technical and for some reason they now want to send an engineer to the house even though all the lines in the house are fine.
    The previous tenants also had a BT BB account which was working fine for them. They cancelled their BB in August so this shouldnt hold any bearing to this issue which tells me its something to do with the configuration at BT's end.
    Here's what i have done so far to check for issues myself.
    1) Reset the router to default settings
    2) Checked that all laptops in the household are in the correct IP range for the router and that they can connect to the router (which they can)
    3) Checked all available phone sockets in the house with both the router and the house phone, house phone works fine in all sockets but BB will not connect
    4) Made sure we have microfilters in place
    5) Power cycled the router daily to check for a connection, still nothing
    6) Used the test connect on the router using "domain bt_test_user@startup_domain" as the username (as suggested in another post to check for activation), this did nothing which according to another user suggests were not activated yet.
    The call centre operative i spoke to today wasnt much help at all, he simpy read the notes and bearly spoke to me, the customer service i received was terrible. As a result of this my son has lost a job as he was sent an email last week inviting him to an interview but couldnt receive it. Ive been paying for a service that ive not had for a month now, all in all it has caused a huge inconvenience, im having to go to a friends to make this post.
    Please can someone help me get my BB working.
    Thanks

  • IBook G4 that's connected to wifi but not connected to Internet

    I Have a later 2005 model iBook G4 running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard, I'm having trouble connecting to the internet. I am able to connect to my home WiFi network but not able to connect to the internet. How do I fix this?

    The iBook is Capable of 802.11g/n/b using Airport Extreme
    Airport Extreme did not get 'n' coverage until late 2006, on Core2Duo and Xeon Macs.    The iBook is not one of those Macs.
    If you are using 802.11n connections on your Qwest that will be a problem for the iBook.  You need to make it is set for  802.11g/n network.
    Qwest was taken over by CenturyLink, and the configuration setup is here:

  • Connected to Router, but not getting any Internet access

    Hello,
    So I recently got my parent's old router. It's a Linksys WRT54G. I had used it with my MBP when I lived with them a year ago, and I never had a problem. Airport was always able to locate their network and log into it.
    6 months ago I moved out and have been using a direct Ethernet connection to my Road Runner Cable modem. No problem.
    Yesterday I did some rearranging of my apartment, and now my computer isn't near a cable outlet. So I got the old router old and started getting it running.
    Over many stress filled hours I have it at the point where my MBP is connected to the network (I named it, gave it a password, it shows a strong signal), but I have no Internet access. I even ran the Network Diagnostics a couple times, and it said my Internet connection appeared to be working correctly. Yet I can't open up any pages in Safari.
    I don't know if I need to change any of the router settings?? Or if it's just an old router and I need a new one?? I've unplugged, replugged, and restarted everything numerous times, and still nothing.
    Thank you!

    Hi Rod,
    Let me start by mentioning that when I hit the 'reply' button to write this post, it took more than 6 min for the page to appear. During that time, the 'connected time' displayed to the right of the 'radar' icon slid in and out dozens of times (indicating a dropped connection). If you have the 'magic' broth, I'd be happy to drink it.
    You must have seen my posting on the InformationWeek website, which I wrote on after reading the review of the MacBook products in their email newsletter that I receive. I normally don't post on blogs but after reading the pulp in that review - after trying AppleCare and the Genius bar and seeing all of the posts here (with no fix forthcoming from Apple), I felt the need to both vent and to seek a solution outside of these discussion pages.
    I have posted the details of my MBP/Airport connectivity issues in detail on other threads here but I would be happy to reiterate them.
    My problems appeared to start after the 10.5.2 update. My connections became unbearably slow, to the point that I would begin to get Safari browser connection error messages (i.e., no server response...not connected to the internet, etc.) Then I noticed that the 'connected time' displayed to the right on the 'radar' icon in the menu bar was 'sliding' in and out (I didn't realize what this meant at the time but soon realized that every time it 'slid' out (disappeared) represented a 'droped' connection and when it 'slid' back (reappeared) it represented a reconnection. Both at home and at the office, I run under static IP addresses (home = MaxDSL with Westell modem to APEBSg; office = T-1x2 with NetGear). But about a month ago, I did some more testing. I run VM Ware and Windows Vista and my assumption had been, since Vista, running under VM Ware, utilizes all of the Mac I/O ports, that Vista would share the same slowness with the Mac Airport Wi-Fi. I tried it and, much to my surprise, the connection speed was great (like normal). I then tried an Ethernet hardwire to the Ethernet port on the APEBSg and got the same great connection speed.
    So, MBP Airport works with Vista but not with Mac OS and by-passing the Airport Wi-Fi with a hardwire works with both Vista and Mac OS. It's only the Mac OS trying to go through the onboard Airport that gets choked down to unacceptable connection speeds.
    I have tried all of the suggestions posted on the discussion board (resetting the CSM, PMU, etc). But, like everyone else, to no avail.
    So, it's all about being connected via Wi-Fi (with my 'portable'). That's my problem. And, as you can see from all of the posts, it's not just me. So, you must have received the 'wonder machine' when you got your MBP. My MBP is a 1st gen but you can read posts here of people who just bought theirs (some who indicated that they were 'switchers') and it wouldn't connect right out of the box with 10.5.2. So, I realized that it wasn't 'me' - it was a real problem.
    And, I might add that I've been an 'enthusiastic' Apple user since 1979. I've owned almost every model along the way - except for the LISA. In the past year alone, I've encouraged four people to 'switch' to Mac (three of whom I actually accompanied to the Apple Store and helped them with their selection). So, I'm a longtime - happy - user (my wife has a PBG4, my daugher a MacBook, my son a new MBP, plus I have an iMac and a CubeG4) who has hit a bump in the road and have become very frustrated by the fact that Apple does not appear to be responding to a real issue.
    I welcome any advice that you might have to offer.

  • HT1476 iPhone charges on dock connected to laptop but not dock connected to wall charger

    I used to charge my iPhone at night connected to a wall charger.  Sometimes I would get an inverted yellow triangle with the message that the device di not support charging, but it would still charge. Now for some reason it gives the message and really won't charge.  I have bought a dock to see if it was the wall charger but although the dock works fine when connected by usb to the laptop, I still can't charge when connected to the wall charger.  It is an intermittent problem so I don't think it has anything to do with a dirty connector. 

    Just to let everyone know, I bought an apple plug and that has solved the problem.  Not only does it charge without query but it's twice as fast.

  • Connect to wifi but not connected?

    I just got my new ipod 4th gen 1 week ago and it connected to my internet just fine, but ever since yesterday it's been acting up. My ipod says it's connected to my wifi but when I go to use safari or apps it tell me that it needs to be connect to the internet. I've read through some questions and answers of other people on here, I've followed their steps on resetting my network settings but it's still doing the same thing. Is there any other way to get reconnected to the internet?

    Rick,
    Are you trying to restore an iPad2 wifi + 3G?
    I'm sure somebody will correct me (Genius, insert proper reason here), but I believe if you are trying to set an iPad 2 3G unit back to a previous iOS (if you mistakenly upgraded to 4.3.4 or 4.3.5) and are trying to go back to 4.3.3?
    There is something inherent with the 3G units that won’t let you.

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • PC Laptops connect to Airport but not Internet

    I've got a DSL connection coming into my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). I have my MacBook connected through Wi-Fi and a XP PC connected through Ethernet. Both can connect fine to internet and AEBS. However, when I try and connect my work laptop (limited ability to mess with settings) to the internet through Wi-Fi, it connects to the AEBS but not to the internet. Its able to get an IP address and has good signal and connection. It used to work, but I had some problems with my DSL modem and since getting that sorted out, the work laptops won't connect.
    The network is a non-published network using WPA/WPA2 security broadcasting on channel 9.
    Radio Mode: 802.11n(802.11b/g)
    MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
    Configure IPv4: Manually
    Distributing a Range of IP Addresses

    Since this past weekend, I have spent approx 25% of my time trying to get my Airport Extreme to work. It takes 1-2 hours of retrying manual setup, and although I go through the exact same steps, most of the time it does not work. I was finally successful, but rebooting off the Mac caused the device to quit working. Reconfig (again) another 2 hours, and it works. It will work for perhaps 2 hours max, then stop again, forcing a reboot (back to factory settings using the pin on the back). It has worked pretty much flawlessly until this past weekend, and now I can't use it for more than a couple hours before I have to devote 2-3 hours of total frustration. I am using 7.1.3 update. Any suggestions on how I can keep this working for more than 2 hours before it Goes Amber? PS - after reading this discussion board, I am sorry I bought this device!

  • Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery?

    Does it matter if the lightning cable is plugged in but not connected to an electrical outlet? Will this drain the ipad battery? We use an ipad cart at school, and some of the teachers will connect all the ipads up to the cart, but then neglect to power up the cart. The laptop with the cart has already had the battery wrecked because of this (within a two month period), and I am concerned the ipads may have an issue if this continues to happen. I need some reassurance before I make the other teachers paranoid!

    ok this one is kind in the gray area for me. I say if it is plugged in to a power up cart but not plugged in to a outlet, then all is is doing is not charing, and of course lossing a charge over time in standby, not really causing any issues. User guide and apple sites say it will drain the battery life.
    Important: The iPad battery may drain instead of charge if iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, to a USB hub, or to the USB port on a keyboard.
    however “Battery life” means the time your iPad will run before it must be recharged.
    so I think it will be ok, as long as you charge it as usaul it should be fine.
    just use these links for and understanding for batteries and the ipad, of course the user guide.

  • My MP990 will scan using my Win 7 laptop but not with my XP desktop

    I have been running my MP990 using a WiFi connection. I had to replace the printer with another MP990. I can still use the scanner function using the Win 7 laptop but not on the desktop XP. With XP, I get the following message:
    Cannot comunicate with scanner for these reasons:
    - Scanner is turned off
    - Scanner is disconnected
    (It is disconnected from LAN, if using on LAN)
    Please check and try again
    Scanner Driver will be closed
      Code:5,145,55
    Since it will scan using the Win 7 "Windows Fax and Scan" but will not work on the desktop XP, I suspect I need to re-install the software. I don't have the orifinal disk but I did download  a couple of files: MP990soswin100us.exe or mpnx_3_0-win-3_05-ej-exe
    Can I just run one of the above .exe files to take care of my problem?

    Hi gooch,
    I recommend installing both of the files you mentioned as one is the driver and the other is MP Navigator.  The driver will get the basic files installed, but the MP Navigator gives you an easy to use interface to power the scanner.

    Sorry for the delay...
    I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
    I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
    Thanks for the help, anyway!!
