Can not get Wi-Fi to connect

I have never been able to get my Wi-Fi to connect. It shows my home signal, I enter the pass code and hit join. It says it is "unable to join the network linksys-g". If I go into settings under Wi-Fi Networks is shows my signal there but is no information for it at all under any of the headings. I do not understand this network stuff. Someone else set up my wireless because I dont get it. Can someone help me. It would be great to use the iTunes on my phone but at this rate it will never happen. I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone could give me.

I had similar problem with easy fix after reading SEVERAL discussion boards. Go to you router settings and check your DNS server settings on your router, then manually enter this same DNS address on the iPhone (settings/wifi/touch the name of your home network) I had a similar problem with my Powerbook G4, had to manually enter the DNS settings. Took just a couple minutes and now works just fine. If you use a wireless laptop, you can also check the DNS server settings on the computer versus going to the router. Hope it helps.

    Hi all,
    Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
    Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
    I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • Can not get my MacPro to connect to iCloud

    I can not get my MacPro to connect to iCloud.  It tries periodically but returns the message "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with [my account]@aim.com."  This aim.com address is one I have not used in years. I have tried to purge all references to this address in my system but must have missed some.  How do I correct this?

    This aim.com address is one I have not used in years.
    Is it still functional ? iCloud sends a welcome mail to this adress. Look for it.

  • I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect

    I can not get the iPad to connect to the internet thru the router it shows the modum but will not connect it keeps saying choose a netwokand the IP Address it automaticaly puts in is wrong?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

  • I get a message the message " Can not get mail. Not connected to server" Yet I am connected with Wi-fi and can access all other websites. Can you advise? My iPad is only a month old!

    Has any one experienced not being able to send mail and only receiving some? I get the message " can not get mail. No connection to the server! " Yet I get some mail but can not send out any. My iPad is only 1 month old! It worked perfectly for about 10 days.
    Thx
    Agnes

    Hey agnesfromcopenhagen k,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Mail on your iPad. The following resource provides some troubleshooting steps. What kind of account are you using? Some internet providers require that you be connected to your home Wi-Fi (or for work accounts, inside your corporate Wi-Fi/firewall). Also, some email accounts require two-step authentication. For more information, see this resource:

  • Static NAT pass-through; can not get to work

    I am not having any luck getting a static NAT pass-through to work.
    BM3.8/NW6.5 all patched to the latest patches (no betas). IPFLT is NOT
    loaded.
    My internal network on one LAN all have 10.100.xxx.xxx private addresses.
    Dynamic NAT works great.
    I have secondary public IP addresses bound to my public NIC. Static NAT
    mapping between the secondary public IP addresses and the couple of
    individual private addresses work just fine. In other words, all has been
    working fine.
    I need to give one of those internal resources its public IP address
    (change it's private to its public).
    OK, I went into the NAT table and changed the proper public <-> private to
    public <-> public (identical addresses). I changed the internal computer
    to it's public address/mask with the same default gateway the server is
    using. The internal computer can now only ping itself; can't even ping
    it's default gateway. I did reinitialize, and also restarted. I can not
    get the pass-through connection to work.
    Any thoughts will be well received.

    Can not get my Sungale Tablet to connect to wifi.

    You need to get your wireless settings first. Get the SSID (wireless network name) and security key (password) for your network. Are you using a Linksys router? Follow these instructions to retrieve your wireless network's info: Checking the Linksys router’s wireless settings. Then on your tablet, go to Wifi under Settings. Select your network and type in the password. If your tablet is an Android, here's how: Connecting your Android™ tablet to your wireless network.
