Connects to internet but not local network

My AX worked fine for the past year. While traveling I disconnected the AX and set the wireless mode in Airport Admin Utility to 'Wireless disabled' and then connected an iMac by ethernet wire for our housesitter. All worked well. On my return I plugged in the AX and reset the Wireless Mode to 'Create a Wireless Network (home router)'. All appeared to work well for the past week. Until today.... when I tried to print wirelessly to a printer connected to my server in the office outside our home. The MacBook Pro was unable to find the printer or the server. It was formerly able to this with no problem.
The MacBook Pro can connect to the internet by the AX but not to my local network.
When I choose 'connect to server' from the Go menu I'm unable to locate the server. I determined that if I enter the local address in the 'server address' window I am able to connect but remain unable to print. My former protocol was to choose the 'browse' button and choose from a list of possible computers (their are a number of Macs possibly on the network).
If I take the MacBook Pro across the driveway to the office and plug into my network the computer finds the server and the printer with no problem.
I've done a hard-reset twice - to no avail. And attempted a factory default re-set 3x but don't believe it worked since the green light didn't flash 4x as expected - it came on briefly and then turned amber while it re-started, but when I used Airport Set up Assistant all my former settings were there and the same password I had entered so I don't believe it reset to factory defaults.
Yow!
I'll really appreciate any assistance.

  • Windows XP hooks up to internet but NOT local network

    I have an Airport Base Extreme with a local network that includes my machine and an old B&W G3 and my son's iBook G4. My other son has an IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP SP2. We've looked through the discussions and he's been able to wirelessly hook up to the internet but he doesn't show up on my local network. He's used the info from http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1011.html to help him hook up but he still doesn't show up on my network and he is repeatedly disconnected from the internet. Any ideas?

    I'm running the WEP, that's all. My husband just got a new Dell laptop (from work). He was able to hook up to the network without a problem but I can't see him on it either. I can see the Mac and iBook that are on the network but not the Windows machines. Also, when I click on the airport icon in the menu on my iMac, I only see my network. My husband's PC sees other networks that are in our neighborhood.

  • Hi i use the hp lap in connecting for internet but not open the bro

    hi 
      i have some problam in my laptop in connecting for internet but not open for broswer and not update for software  tell the solution

    Hi @jerry3 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not getting to the Internet. First try just to reset the router. Unplug from the power wait a few moments and plug back in.
    Can get to safe mode with command prompt? F11 upon startup choose safe mode with Networking.
    Can you get to the Internet in safe mode?
    Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Airport express connects to internet, but not print server

    hello all. i hope someone can help me with this. 2 days ago, my wife was able to print using her ibook/airport expess setup. today, the network diagnostics has this message: "network diagnostics was able to connect to the internet but not to the server EPSON Stylus CX3800.pdldatastream.tcp.local. this could be caused by problems with the server, or an internet problem between this computer and the server." she says this happened when she turned it on. what could be causing this? any and all help welcome. mcrat

    You can reset the AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ.
    Then you can use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the AX.

  • Mac Pro will connect to internet but not network with other systems

    I have an iMac in my studio reception and a Mac pro and Macbook in my office. All three systems can connect to the internet but the Mac Pro has stopped networking with the iMac. However the iMac can network with the Pro. I have an ethernet cable connection to the Pro (no wi fi card) and I have a wireless router on the iMac which has enabled me to connect the Pro to other systems through wi fi. I also have a PC laptop and the Pro can connect to it via wi fi. Everything was networking properly several weeks ago and as far as I am aware I have not changed any settings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this annoying little problem.

  • Airplay is constantly not working and connected to internet but not showing content

    This happens ALL the time.  So my apple tv airplay constantly goes out and doesnt work anymore.  I try my ipad, ipad mini, and iphone 6 and NONE work.   I then I have to reset my apple tv, but then it doesnt show any content.  It is connected to the internet and the signal strength is max.  I dont know what to do anymore.  If I would have known that this device would be a piece of **** then I wouldnt have bought it. Everything is has the current update.  Does anybody have any ideas.  I tried every step in the troubleshooting from restarting it to resetting my router.  Otherwise im smashing it with a hammer and getting fire tv

    This is due to a local network issue. The signal strength on the device doesn't account for any issues, you need to go to istumbler or similar to get a network report (to see full representation of signal, noise, and nearby networks. Trying ethernet will also help rule out wifi issues. You are also free to test on another network (preferably a controlled one like Apple's)

  • MacBook can connect to Internet, but not iMac

    Using two Airport Expresses as a WDS network. Had to reset network. Now Network is back up. MacBook can see it just fine and connect to the internet. iMac see's it, but can't connect to internet. I also opened up Airport Utility on iMac and it can't see either airport express...
    Any idea's?

    Also, in network preferences, it shows Airport "Not Connected". But I can see my MacBook on the network.

  • Machines avail on Bonjour but not Local Network - when on same subnet?

    I have a simple system running ARD 3.2 on a machine running OS X 10.5.2, controlling a small number of machines running 10.5.2 or 10.4.11, all on the same sub-net.
    Two of the computers - both 20" Intel iMacs (2.0GHz CoreDuo) with 10.5.2 installed have an odd problem - most (but not all) of the time they show up in the ARD computers list as being available for Screen Sharing Only - and so things like copying files to the machine fail. Their entries have the 'light blue' icon next to them which appears to indicate this state.
    When in this mode they initially fail to show up when I do a scan of the local network. They should - as they are running off the same Airport hub as the ARD controller. However, if I change the scan to look for Bonjour connected computers they show up. If I then go back to scanning the local network they show up there too. But still nothing more than the light blue icon and screen sharing only as an option.
    I've checked the settings of both machines - both have ARD enabled in sharing, both have the firewall set to allow all incoming connections. Other machines connected to the same sub-net show up and can be used without problem. All the machines are running ARD client 3.2.1
    Anyone got any ideas what might be going on?
    Grateful for any advice / suggestions.

    Almost same setting here, same troubles.
    If I restart them via Screen Sharing via the Restart Button on the Login Window, they sometimes show up correctly. But this is way too annoying.

  • IMac Connects to Internet, but not File Server

    Got one iMac (Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.5.8) that has a network issue. It can always connect to the internet, but sometimes it stops seeing a file server on the network (Tiger server). The server connection will drop out on this computer, but not on any of the other computers on the network. Things I've tried that don't work:
    - restarting computer
    - re-seating ethernet cable
    - trying new ethernet cable
    - zapping PRAM on computer
    The connection to the server just comes and goes randomly, but only on this computer. Suggestions? Thanks!

    Same here with an iMac 27" connecting to a windows server.

  • PC can connect to internet but not time capsule

    We are having no trouble getting onto our internet or accessing the time capsule with our Mac. However, the PC we have can get onto the internet, but is unable to access the time capsule. We need to be able to backup information from both of our computers.
    Please help us!

    Did you install the Airport utility onto windows?  If not do so.. it should include bonjour which helps greatly. Make sure it does.
    TC and wireless names may prevent access to resources.. are your names Apple style with that wonderful apostrophe.. illegal in the windows world?? Spaces in names also not legal.
    Change all names to SMB type.. short .. no spaces.. straight alphanumeric.
    Do you have permissions issues.. ??
    Have you opened file sharing and turned on the guest account.. read and write access.
    Do you have the right workgroup..?
    Please put in WORKGROUP.. assuming that is the workgroup.
    If you still have issues.. are you using homegroup in windows.. well stop it.
    If you still have issues .. are you connecting correctly using proper URL in windows explorer, ie \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing with actual name or actual IP)
    If you still have issues.. ping the TC by name and IP and turn off all firewalls.
    Do each in turn.. even step 1 might be enough.

  • WRT54GS ... Can connect to Internet but not to my network

    I have three desktop computers wired to the router and a laptop that I connect using wireless. One of my computers went to the shop. Now, I can't get it to connect to the network, but I can access the Internet with a browser and with an FTP Client. The other computers still talk to each other fine. I reconfigured the problem desktop but no joy. Note that I cannot access the router at 192.168.1.1 from any computer. I unplugged the router for 30 seconds and replugged it... with no change. What's my next step? Thanks in advance for any help. New info. I can access the router by using Internet Explorer. And There is no light on the front panel indicating that the problem computer is connected ... even though I'm accessing the modem/Internet with it.
    Message Edited by KGP on 09-11-2008 11:31 PM

    Lower down the Ethernet Adapter card speed from Auto to 10 Half Duplex ...
    Also change the cable or the port in the routers back side ....
    See if light is present on one ....

  • MacBook Air loses connection to internet but not LAN

    Hi, I am using a MacBook Air 11" (mid-2012) running OS X Mavericks (10.9.3). I'm connecting to my home LAN via WiFi connection to a TP-Link 300M Wireless router that is setup as a switch (per instructions here http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=417), which in turn is connected via wire (ethernet-over-power) to a Technicolor cable modem/router provided by my ISP (UPC in the Netherlands; I can look up the model number of the router if needed, but it's two floors down right now and doesn't strike me that this is the cause of the problem).
    I have a problem that my MacBook Air intermittently loses connectivity to the internet for extended periods (minutes) even though (a) the MacBook Air maintains full connectivity to my LAN at the same time through WiFi and (b) other computers connected to the cable modem/router maintain their connection to the internet while my MacBook Air has lost its connection.
    My test to see where the breakdown is occurring is to have four terminal windows up and running ping processes:
    1) ping to 192.168.0.1 (my router) - this always stays live, with essentially no lost packets
    2) ping to an external address (I'm using 74.125.136.94, a google.nl address) - this is my main test for access to the internet and where I see ping failures (I'm also testing with pings to other sites when the problem is occurring to ensure it's not something on the remote end).
    3) ping to 192.168.0.13, which is a Synology NAS attached via ethernet cable to my main cable modem/router - this always stays live, with essentially no lost packets.
    4) a login to the Synology NAS, where I am also running a continual ping to 74.125.136.94, and this external ping does NOT fail when the one from my MacBook Air does, it stays live with essentially no lost packets.
    The problem will usually correct itself after 1-3 minutes (though the time is not consistent), and also gets corrected if I turn the MacBook Air's WiFi off and on again.
    Any suggestions for what I can do to stop this problem?
    Thanks

  • AE ppoe mode in AE only allows macbook pro and iMac to connect to internet but not ipad

    I just upgraded to  20MB DSL line and got a new Qwest Q1000 modem connected to an A Extreme.
    Since Qwest now has PPPoE, I set the Q1000 modem to bridge mode and turned off Wifi.
    Then I Set the AEx router to ppoe mode, entered my username and password from Qwest and all is well with all lights green.
    But... only my imac and macbook pro connect to the internet.  My ipad, my wife's macbook and an ipod touch cannot connect.
    According the Airport Utility, all these devices are detected by the wifi network and they have their own  unique IPs provided by the AEx router (in pppoe mode)   10.0.1.7,   10.0.1.9 and so forth, no ip conflicts detected, all the lights green with full access to the internet. Again, only  my iMac and my macbook pro actually connect to the internet at full speed.
    Does any one know why some devices connect to the internet while others are not able to...
    Again, no errors detected anywhere, all modem and router lights green.
    Any help is welcomed.
    Janickk

    Thanks for the reply.  Your suggestion did not work.  Apparently there is an issue with DNS addresses.
    The Airport Extreme in pppoe mode  sets the router and DNS addresses to be the same 10.0.1.1.  Some devices (like my macbook pro and iMac) ignore this DNS value or use a different  (unknown) and then they connect to the internet perfectly.  But the devices (ipads and ipods) aquire and set both values (Router and DNS) to be the same, (10.0.1.1 and 10,0.1.1) wont connect to the internet until I manually  changed the DNS address in the DNS field.
    Question: are these two values supposed to be the same/different/ in both fields in the AExt in pppoe mode?
    Thanks

  • Airport connected to internet but not putting out wireless

    Hey there,
    Have a G5 connected directly to an airport extreme that is connected to the internet just fine. Not the new generation airport extreme.
    My POWERBOOK G4 is not showing a wireless signal at all and usually does. I checked the powerbooks system preferences, network, airport status and it says, "Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self assigned IP address and may not able to connect to the internet." The airport is connected to the airport because my G5 is directly connected through it.
    This set up has worked before but I'm not sure when it stopped because I haven't been using my powerbook for some time.
    Both computers are running OS 10.3.9 Both can connect to the internet directly through the airport. All the setting are set in the airport set up.
    Anyone have any idea how to get this wireless set up back up and running ?
    thanks,
    tnixer

    Okay, looking at the Airport Admin Utility.
    INternet> configured manually (won't work automatic)
    Network> Distribute IP address is checked.
    And Share a single address is checked. Use 10.0.1.1 adressing is selected
    IF I uncheck "Distribute IP address" then Airport can't connect to the internet.
    I can't get Share A Range of IP address to even take the number I type in.
    The thing of all this is it used to work.
    One thing that happened is I tried a different internet provider, didn't like, changed back to my usual service. Maybe that is when this started because like I said I haven't tried using my powerbook for a while so I'm not sure.
    In any case it seems like its just a matter of settings since this set up has worked for years.
    Maybe sharing my settings with give some clues ?
    thanks,
    tnixer

  • WRT54G all computers connect to internet, but not each other

    ver 5 firmware v1.02.5 build 002, Jan. 9, 2008
    Here is my issue. I run a secure wireless network at my home, consisting of 1 desktop (wired) and 1 laptop (wireless) after setting up the network, and turning on file sharing, and sharing drives, the network works fine for a short while. All drives are visible in "My network places" but when I try to access them, I get the error " \\drive\folder not accessible you might not have permission to use this network resource. All computers can use the internet no problem, and appear to be able to see each other, but cannot access each other. The signal is excellent, and the internet is fine as well. Is there any help that you can give me? I am not sure what is happening. No settings are being changed, it just seems that the network connections just disappear. Also, under my network places, the remote drives show up as under the Internet section of the window. Thanks in advance for any help you may be.

    Have you checked all firewall settings?  Turn off all firewalls on all computers and try.
