Can't get ip from verizon router to iMac over ethernet

I've got an MI424WR verizon router that is running wireless fine. I also have a Apple Airport Express connected to the Verizon router via ethernet that is running in bridge mode so I can have access to all of my other Apple wireless points and printers in my house. All of this works flawlessly over wireless.
If I plug my iMac into my ethernet cable and then attempt to plug into the back of the Verizon router, I can only get a self assigned IP address on my iMac over ethernet. I've tried many suggestions on the Mac side, from using a manual IP to trashing several prefence files in the system etc. I've also tried a factory reset on the Verizon router. Nothing is working to get the ethernet working to my iMac.
I'm beginning to think it could be a MAC address issue where the Verizon router is not passing or getting something from the iMac correctly, but I have not idea how to really dig into the Verizon router settings to check this out.
Verizon support is less that useless so I'm hoping some savy network folks out there may have some suggestions for me.
thanks for any help you can offer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Finally a successfull update.
The crux of my problem was something to do with either the last upgrade to Yosemite or to how my Mac was loading startup items or both of these issues.
First, I confirmed that I could connect to the same ethernet cable with another Mac running one OS back from Yosemite. It connected instantly and the Verizon router passed it an ip address with no problem.
Next, I connected my iMac back to the ethernet and then booted my iMac into safemode and then made a new network location in the network prefs. I then turned off the wifi antennae and had the ethernet set to use DHCP. Renewing the DHCP lease still did not work, but once I rebooted again in safe mode with wifi still turned off, after about 5 minutes, the iMac was able to pull a working ip address from the verizon router.
All on the network side was working fine, but once I booted out of safe mode, my finder went into a horrific crash loop. After doing some cleaning of my system preferences and clearing out all startup items I am now back in business.
thanks to all who suggested ideas.

  • Can I transfer files from MBP to an iMac over my wireless network?

    I am always having to transfer things from one computer to another and I am tired of using flash drives and DVD's and such to do it. Those ways are a lot of trouble. I have tried bluetooth but its to slow it seems. I know that I could probably do this over my home wireless network but I don't know how. Could someone help me out here? Is it pretty easy?
    TIA!

    As for the login issue .. do you have any spaces in your Admin log-in name? If so, try typing in your Admin name with no spaces (Ex: mine is Gary A Mullinax when viewed on my G5 tower; however, when I connect with my MBP, I have to use garyamullinax for the log-in name .... then the normal password).
    I can only suspect that there has been a setting overlooked on the MBP side that is keeping you from connecting from your iMac.
    Good luck.

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • Cannot get email from Verizon servers thru Time Warner ISP

    I've had Verizon for many years until a move took us to California where it was not an option in our area.  I purchased the email addresses from Verizon 3 years ago.  Everything has worked fine until 2 weeks ago when my wife and myself cannot access our emails anymore using our home network.  If we log onto any other network it works great.  I've called both Time Warner and Verizon (which is a customer service story in itself)  twice a day for two weeks and have gotten nowhere.  Each blames the other but I still don't have email.  I've changed my router to get another ip address with the same result.  I've performed traceroutes which have ended with a verizon server but I can't get anyone at verizon to tell me if it is the email server or not.  I've tried whitelisting the ip address.  I've tried removing and reinstalling the verizon email account in my Macbook.  Nothing works!   Lots of threads of people with the same problem but I can't find a soulution.  PLEASE HELP!!

  • Impossible to get answers from Verizon

    I have just spent about 30 minutes online looking for answers to my questions - to no avail...
    Then I spent 5 minutes pushing buttons and playing with the voice prompts waiting on someone who couldn't answer my questions.  His solution was to transfer me to an online group, after being on hold for 25 minutes I hung up so excuse me if it seems like I'm complaining.   I think I have the right to complain after all of that.
    I saw on an email that coming soon to Verizon Call Assistant you'd be able to access call fowarding from it. 
    1) What is the expected time this will be available?
    2) Is this going to be available in my area?  Can't get anyone in person with Verizon who seems to know anything about this
    3) I've looked and search Verizon's website for a demo of Call Assistant but can't find one.
    4) While looking for a demo I ended up at a Customize your services page.  It shows I have:
    (check marked) "caller id with anonymous call block - included/removed"
    and it shows
    (unchecked) "Caller id (anonymous call block no included)"
    These two things seems to contradict each other. 
    5) I'm also trying to find out if this change to being able to access call fowarding from the call assistant means we will also be able to access call fowarding from any phone number like the service with AT&T that's been around for 20 years.
    CAN SOMEONE WITH VERIZON ADDRESS THESE AND OR CALL ME TO GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT?
    I might be interested in changing my service but I can't get anyone with Verizon who knows or can tell me about this stuff.  And they wonder why we are all upset with them?!?
    Thanks

    Yep, customer service from any large company that tries to speed things up with an automated attendant can be challenging.  Most people on this forum are pretty helpful.  My attempt at helping is below.  Hope it helps.

    2) Is this going to be available in my area?  Can't get anyone in person with Verizon who seems to know anything about this.Because this is a 'switch based service', your switch must be compatible with the offer.  You can go to https://www22.verizon.com/ForyourHome/Registration/Reg/VCALogin.aspx?POEId=EM1SP&CMP=DMC-EML85 to see if you're eligible.
    3) I've looked and search Verizon's website for a demo of Call Assistant but can't find one. There is a small, 'demo" on verizon.com/callassistant   You have to mouse over the 4 icons to see more details about the features.  There are also some links to user guides at the bottom right of the page that will give you more details.
    4) While looking for a demo I ended up at a Customize your services page.  It shows I have:

    (unchecked) "Caller id (anonymous call block no included)"
    These two things seems to contradict each other. No idea what this page is.  SOunds like you are logged into your account management to be able to change/add services.  From what you have said here, it looks like you have callerid w/anonymous call block on your phone (becauise it is checked). And, it looks like if you want to turn off anonymous call block, then you check the other one.  Don't know for sure...just guessing because I have no idea where you are or how you got there.
    5) I'm also trying to find out if this change to being able to access call fowarding from the call assistant means we will also be able to access call fowarding from any phone number like the service with AT&T that's been around for 20 years.It sounds like it. Call Assistant lets you look at your call logs and receive pop-ups (for non-mac users that is.    )whenever a call comes in.   Probably the same setup will let you access cal frowarding from the website or their PC (not mac-can you tell i'm not a Windows user?) program.

  • How can i get input from user in Workflows

    Hello professionals,
    I'm new to SAP B1 Workflow, i have created some workflows and they all worked fine.
    But, I am wondering, How can i get input from user?. For example, i want to display list of options to choose between them and route the workflow based on the selected option. I don't want to use the exclusive gateway and check for some conditions, i want to get input from user.
    How can i do that?

  • Can't get video from camera update / suggestions?

    As I think others have reported, I have lost my ability to participate in iChat AV video sessions, and any attempt produces a "can't get video from camera" error message. I am running OS 10.4.5.
    I have an extra internal hard drive with no OS on it, so I did a clean install of Mac OS 10.4 and iChat was back to working. I then applied all the Apple Software Updates to bring it up to 10.4.5 as well as any othe Security Updates and such, and it is still working OK as long as I boot off that OS.
    This tells me the problem cannot be in my Router or DSM Modem, I think.
    In the past, I have had ShowMacster and iGlasses installed on my original system, but I believe that I have uninstalled both of those properly. Still does not work.
    I DO have Apple Remote Desktop - Admin installed on this startup volume, and I cannot say for sure whether the problem may have started around the time I installed it. It's possible, I just wasn't keeping chronological records of installs back then.
    So, the GOOD news is that I can participate in any iChat AV session I want to be in as long as I have prior notice or enough time to reboot my G5 PowerMac under my second drive, but I still can't keep iChat AV open on my main drive and expect to be able to respond to impromptu invites to a video session.
    I thought I may have read that Apple Remote Desktop can create a conflict. If anyone knows, I would be all ears! Thanks for any suggestions.

    Dual 1.8 Mhz G5 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I believe I have solved the mystery of why I was getting the "can't get video from camera" error message. I had said earlier that I had Apple Remote Desktop (admin) loaded on my Mac but that I did not normally have this application open. What I failed to realize, though, was that for some reason I also had Apple Remote Desktop set to ON in my Sharing System Preferences pane. All I had to do was to uncheck this box and my ability to carry on video chats returned.
    I expect that somehow in the process of installing and running the Apple Remote Desktop application to access another Macintosh on my home network, I must have either manually or automatically caused Apple Remote Desktop to be turned ON as if I was wanting to allow some other Admin user to connect to my Mac. Doesn't make much sense to me, but I am happy with the solution.

  • Found an error related to "can't get video from Camera"

    So, I am back with the same issue: it is now 3-4 months I can't Video chat because iChat AV tells me "can't get video from camera". I disable the firewall (for the test), I forwarded nearly ALL the TCP and UDP packets from my router to the mac, I stopped any application such as PostgreSQL or others which might interfeer. I checked I didn't have any strange firewall rules still on even when switched of from UserPreferences (sudo ipfw list)...
    Well, I can see myself with the camera but it won't get the image of the party I am connecting to. So... I looked in the console and:
    2006-03-04 19:09:14.926 iChat[9245] WARNING: Freeze-frame failed: couldn't get local buffer for layer Local!
    Each time, this is the message.
    I did the downgrade Quicktime test I also reinstalled the combined update... nothing worked.
    It seems CRAZY that nobody at Apple can at least tell me WHERE to have a look. After all the message is not very clear. Where is the problem? My mac, my router, iChat?
    I filed a bug BTW... because it DID work in the past and now stoped working, so my netgear router can't be in fault (I also checked the logs of the router and of the firewall... nothing seemed to be stoped)
    Alex

    Hi Alexander,
    Defcom aslo has a Netgear And I will let him come back on that side.
    On the error front iChat has about 4 standard messages.
    1) User did not Respond.
    2) Insufficient Bandwidth.
    3) Can not get Video from Camera
    4) Did not get data for 10 secs
    Unfortunately the causes can overlap, hence the lack of Ahaa !!
    The most common feature of all of them is something to do with the way the routing devices are set up.
    This leads us to start with the LAN set up,
    The ports that are open,
    the method used to open them,
    Whether DHCP is being used with Port Forwarding as the IP can change to your computer and the Port Forwarding point to the "wrong" IP
    How many devices are in the link to the Internet ?
    IF you are doing NAT (Port Forwarding or Port Triggering) ?
    Whether your ISP has started dong NAT to your service
    Whether they offer a SIP based Service like VoIP phones.

  • IChat Error: "Can't get video from the camera"

    When I try to Screen Share with iChat on a local network, I receive the error "Can't get video from the camera" when I have an external camera plugged into the FW400 port on my Mac Mini. The Screen Sharing feature works great when the camera is not connected. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

    Tell us about the Network you created please.
    What make and model modem ?
    Can it route (issue IPs) ?
    IS there a router ?
    Make and model of that please ?
    If there are two devices which is doing DHCP if any are ?
    IS there any computer that is sharing it's Internet Connection with any other computer ?
    I take it from the title and the post that you infer you can Video and Audio chat ?
    The Cannot get Video from Camera normally gets and Error Log pop up.
    This can be opened with the reveal triangle on the left. The Details shown will have a Error number. Do you know what this log says ? (normally Error 20 or 21)
    Old logs are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors by date.
    IF you post an Error Log stop at the line that Says "Binary Images for iChat" as we don't need the bits below that yet.
    As the Screen share in iChat uses an Audio component then the Camera if it is also the Mic needs to be ON.
    In your case this may mean that in the ichat Video Menu both Camera Enabled and Mic Enabled should both be ticked.
    (I have never seen an iChat error code for not (specifically) being able to get the Mic input so the message might be the only one iChat can pop up)
    It does seem very odd that it only effecting Screen Sharing.
    I have a Firewire connected DV converter that has two Firewire ports itself so I can input the camera feed to two computers. When this is in place the System also sees it as a Network.
    I have also heard of one person with a Firewire Stills camera and I think the Storage space was seen as an External Device and therefore appeared Networked which is why I asked the first set of questions.
    iChat does not like being in Two networks (a modem that issues IP address and a router doing the same or Wireless to a neighbour and Ethernet to your Own Internet connection, the Mac being the hub in a Share Internet connection, Wireless and Ethernet to the same router and using Parallels when set to Share the Mac's IP are the most common)
    The Screen Sharing option in iChat > Video Menu is ON ? (at both ends ?)
    As iChat's Screen Sharing is related to the System Screen Sharing and therefore Apple Remote Desktop you may find that in any routing device you may have to open ports 5900 and 5988 if not using UPnP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629?viewlocale=en_US
    You said Local Network. Do you mean this is using the Bonjour Buddy List ?

  • "Disconnected from Screen Sharing because: Can't get video from the Camera"

    Whenever I try to do Screen Sharing with another Mac (with Leopard), I get this warning:
    "Disconnected from Screen Sharing because: Can't get video from the Camera"
    It doesn't seem to affect video chats, which I can do just fine.

    It's an AirPort Express, but the problem doesn't seem to be unique to the router. I tried it in another location with another router and it still didn't work.

  • Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?

    Hi All,
    Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?
    If its possible, pls let us know how to get connect with Business View in both of these versions and what is the tool that we have to use to create Business Views.
    Thank you,
    Krishna Pingali

    Hi Krishna,
    Crystal Reports/BusinessObjects Enterprise ( BOE ) Business Views can only be created using the BV build which comes with BOE and installed using the Work Station installer for BOE. for both XI and 2008.
    You cannot mix these two versions on the same PC not can one talk to the other, the BV designer must match the same version as BOE. XI ( version 11.0 ) is no longer available but if you mean XI R2 ( version 11.5 ) then it still is.
    It's not completely clear which Business View you are referring to? BOE has a Business View Designer so not sure if this is just a naming problem or not? If you are referring to the BOE Business View Designer then the above is true. If your reference is about some other BV designer or data source then you need to clarify.
    Contact our Sales department for pricing and availability.
    Thank you
