Re-establish internet connection after restarting laptop

I have a wireless router (WRT54G) and to make an internet connection to my laptop I must use a cord and establish the connection, then that cord is removed. However, I must do this everytime I turn my computer on/off or restart it. When I first purchased the laptop, router, and adapter I only had to establish the connection once and had no problems with connecting to the internet even after I restarted my laptop. What is wrong that I must re-establish the connection with each restart?

okay... hardwire the computer directly to the router, logon to router's setup page, open I.E. and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 it would ask for username and password, put "admin" (default password) as a password without any username…click on wireless tab and try changing wireless channel to 11, click on advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304… make sure that you have latest firmware installed on the router… also tell me the model and version no. of the adapter that you have and OS on computer…

N78 establishes internet connection after connecti...

Hello,
after my N78 connects to PC Suite (7.0.8.2) via bluetooth, the mobile tries to establish an internet connection via GPRS or WLAN.
Any ideas how to stop this?
Thanks!
Best regards
Franz

That did the trick. Thanks!
First I just changed the channel, but that didn't fix it. So then I changed the SSID, WEP and made the WEP 128 this time instead of 64. And I'm good to go. So I thought I was a pretty knowledgeable guy about this stuff, but I'm confused why that was causing just my internet connection to restart. If you have the time can you educate me please?

iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.
===============================================================
NOTE: no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.
Apple store id It works via direct internet connetion but not through iTunes. Very strange.

[SOLVED]Establishing internet connection (using Virtual Box)

Hi there,
Recently I tried to install Arch, but I got a problem with the internet connection. During the installing process there were no problems - I had internet right away without any configuration (so I skipped that part in the "Establish internet connection"-part on the Beginners' Guide.)
After the first reboot however I had no internet connection and
ping -c 1 google.com
gave me
ping: unknown host google.com
, so I went back to the Beginners' Guide and then tried out
ip link
which gave me two entrys, the second beeing:
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 08:00:27:77:ab:fb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Because this connection was down I tried
ip link set eth0 up
, but it didn't change anything at the output of
ip link
(still DOWN).
Can someone see from this information where the problem is?
Additional infos:
-I have a wired connection to a wireless accespoint
-Arch Linux is running in VirtualBox

Yup, that's the command I was looking for
If that didn't do it, then it is definitely something that you can/should seek help for here on the forum. If you simply don't have the time/energy right now to learn a bit more, then you can certainly come back to arch another time. But if you have just a little bit of time and a little bit of energy, this seems like a *great* learning opportunity.
The forums are here to help - don't take the abrupt points to the wiki as a sign we wouldn't help, we just want to make sure you read up on the basics first, then if that fails (which it now has with the dhcpcd command) then we can dig deeper. But in the end it's up to you if you want to push forward now or not. I'm confident we could solve this issue relatively quickly, as long as your on board with pushing forward.

I've lost internet connection after a power outage; how do I restore?

I've lost internet connection after a power outage; how do I restore?

Check with your internet provider for help. Your modem or router could have been damaged if they did not come on after the outage. If your modem and router look OK all you should have to do is restart your iMac.

Peristent Network MIDI connection after restart?

I am using MacOS X's native MIDI over IP tools to initiate a session between two machines for a fixed installation and am having some problems with a persistent connection between the two. Is there any way to have the virtual MIDI devices (the two computers) re-establish their connection after a restart? I've scoured the net, but can't find a way to make this happen.
Please advise.
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

OK, no problem as the instructions would still be the same.
We're talking about two different names here. The "name" of the device can be whatever you want.
But when you configure the Express to "join" a wireless network, you select the name of the wireless network that the router has created. In other words if the Belkin's wireless network name was Belkin Wireless, that will appear as a choice when you configure the Express to join that network. You will also be asked for the wireless password for that network.
It's best to only work with the Expess when configuring it. Turn off and disconnect any other printers, etc. until after you have the Express configured.
If you are still seeing a blinking amber light, open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup, click on the amber dot and another window will open with a message explaining the error.
What does the message say?
If you need to reconfigure the Express again, here are the steps to join a wireless network:
Connect the Express to your computer with an ethernet cable
Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons
Wireless Mode would be "Join a wireless network"
Wireless Network Name would be the name of the network created by the Belkin. Click the selection box to display the available network to be joined.
Wireless Security would be the same setting as the Belkin network
Wireless Password would be the password that you use to log onto the Belkin wireless network
Wireless Password..same as above
Click the Music Icon at the top
Enable AirTunes
Enter passwords if you wish
Update to save changes.

IMac keeps on loosing internet connection after a few minutes...

Intel dual core iMac with 10.6.8 OS keeps losing internet connection after a few minutes. Need to put it to sleep and bring it up again. Than it works again...for a few minutes. Other equipment like laptops and iPad using same wifi internet connection and have no connectivity problem at all... What to do?

Then what I suggest that you do is go to the Finder and select Mac Help in the Help menu. In Mac Help go to Index>C>Connect to the Internet. There you can read all about configuring your Mac, using a modem, etc. After you better understand how all that works then come back with your questions.

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

MBA loses internet connection after waking from sleep

I have a new Macbook Air running Mavericks and new 802.11ac Airport Extreme router.
My problem is that the MBA drops the internet connection after waking from sleep. I tried the solution offered by the OP, but it didn't work.
In my case, here's what I have to do to get a connection again. I open the Network preference pane, and then choose "Assist me..." and then "Diagnostics". Invariably it will show a green light beside Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings and Network Settings. I have 5 bars showing in the WiFi menu bar icon. But ISP, Internet and Server will be yellow.
When I go through the steps prompted by the wizard, the ISP/Internet/Server lights turn green on the third screen where I select the wireless network I want to join.
It seems as if it's connecting to the WiFi network when it wakes from sleep, but losing the internet connection?
Note: I have a new iMac as well running Mavericks and don't have this problem with it.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

Lost internet connection after installing BT dongle (MS-6967)

I have tried installing the MSI Bluetooth USB dongle (MS-6967) drivers twice. I tried the 1.3.1 version and the 1.4.2 version drivers. The Bluetooth dongle itself works fine, but both times I lost my internet connection after installation. After this I have to remove the drivers and repair my installation with the Windows CD, but then windows and all of my programs also need to be updated again since my original Windows CD is a first release version.
The weird thing is that I can connect to other local computers and I can even ping external computers, but browsing websites (on IP address), looking up domain names and retrieving mail are no longer possible. I have no firewall software installed.
Does anyone konw how to fix this?

Am I really the only one with this problem? Well I have seen someone else on another forum ...
Maybe someone knows how to reinstall just the TCP/IP stack?
I'm using a notebook with buil-in network card. It runs W2K dutch version SP4 and things worked before when I was using SP1. Somehow it doesn;t work now anymore. Before I start reinstalling everyting again, I just want to check once more if anyone has some tips for recovering.

All devices on network lose internet connection when Dell laptop connected

I have successfully setup my AEBS network and am using two wireless clients--HP printer and Xbox access point (both 802.11 G) and a wired iMac that also is connected via Airport (so I can move it around if i want). I tried connecting my Dell Latitude D830 wirelessly and within a few minutes of connecting the AEBS loses internet connectivity. Unplugging and restarting the AEBS restores the internet but it just drops off again in less than 10 minutes. My question is, what might be causing this and what can I do about it? One peculiar thing to me is that I am using the WEP security option since the Xbox doesn't seem to support WAP2. When connecting the Xbox it reports the network as WEP but the HP printer and Dell Laptop but suggested the network was indeed WAP even though I'm clearing using WEP security. Maybe it's nothing but wanted to add for completeness.
The Dell is running Vista Enterprise edition.
Thanks for any help.

I've noticed a similar issue. Any time my HP/Vista laptop is connected to my AEBS it loses the network connection at inconsistant time intervals(~10-15 min).

WiFi self assigned IP and no internet connection after OS & iTunes upgrade

I have two likely related issues that started as a direct result of upgrading to OS X 10.8.5 and/or iTunes 11:
Starting tonight, after upgrading my OS and iTunes I am no longer able to use Home Sharing between my iMac and Apple TV. Apple TV is logged in to my network and Home Sharing is on, on both devices (signed in to the same account), but Apple TV says Home Sharing is not connecting to my iMac. My iPhone 5 is also not showing a Home Sharing connection.
I've restarted both my iMac and Apple TV several times. Logged in and out several times. Turned Home Sharing off/on several times, power cycled and reset my network modem once.
While trouble shooting my Home Sharing connection I noticed that under my Network settings, Wi-Fi is yellow instead of green and reads "Self-Assigned IP... Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx and will not be able to connect to the Internet.".
When I go back to Apple TV I've found that althought it's connectted to my iMac through WiFi and I can see my purchased movies I can't view them becasue there is no connection to the iTunes Store (no internet coinnection through WiFi). But my actual network connection on my iMac is just fine.
So it seems that my new OS or iTunes upgrade has caused my WiFi to no longer allow an internet connection across teh wireless network.
Can anybody here tell me why that would happen and how can I fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
David

Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and take the remedial steps suggested in the summary that appears, if any. The program also generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it.
Step 4
This step will erase all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make a note of them before you begin, and recreate them afterwards. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the preference pane.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

I lose internet connection after shutting down

I lose my internet connection whenever I shut down my desktop. I know it's not my modem or router because laptops, iphones and ipods all have a great signal and connection. This only started happening after I downloaded the latest software update 2 weeks ago. I have a Motorola modem and Apple extreme router.

last two days exactly the same - it states that my network is not available and yet shows it, I then have to re enter the password, also date had reverted back to Jan 1st, however, there was one bonus, scrole on the mouse now works correctly again!
