15" G4 PowerBook 1.67 GHz - no Internet access with new D-Link router

I've had the PowerBook for about three years, which worked fine with my Belkin router. I just bought a new D-Link DIR-655 wireless router, and it seems to work fine with my nearly new Intel iMac and my wife's MacBook. In contrast, with the PowerBook, I'm getting a signal (as indicated by the AirPort signal strength indicator), and it accepts my password for the wireless network, but I can't pull up any web pages. The security on the router is set to WPA (Personal).
Any guidance or guesses as to what's going on would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Chris

You should probably check to the log/ or DHCP Client list of the router, to see if your PowerBook getting a DHCP lease. I've had a similar problem, with my AirPort WAP. It turned out that firewall in Leopard wasn't allowing DHCP traffic through, so my Mac never picked up an IP address. You could also check to see if your Mac doesn't have a self assigned IP. This is under the "Advanced"button, "TCP/IP Tab" in Leopard. If it's self assigned, then your MAC isn't picking up an IP address from your router. Check to see if you have a SW firewall enabled on the PowerBook. If so, try turning it off.
Hope this helps,
Mark

  • No Internet Access with Windows Mobile 6

    I am running a wireless network in my home. I have been unable to get my new AT&T Tilt running windows mobile 6 to access the internet. The Tilt does connect to the wireless network, but no internet access is available to the phone. The wireless router is a BEFW11S4 V2. Any ideas on what I need to configure to allow internet access?

  • Can't get internet access with WRT54G router

    I recently purchased a used WRT54G. I replaced my old wired linksys router with it and my hosts are able to get dhcp addresses from the router, but they cannot access the Internet. I have tried to use dchp release and renew buttons under the status tab in the router's web-based gui to get a public IP address, but can't get one. I have attempted to reset the router to its factory settings, but I still can't get the public IP. I have no problem getting an IP and Internet access with my old router and the WRT54G works if I disable its dchp and daisy chain it to the old one. Maybe I need to do something else for a complete reset of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

    the router that you just purchased was maybe configured for a different network before that's why it did not work initially. after making the router back to its' factory defaults, you should reconfigure or set-up the router.. If you have CABLE ISP, enable ''mac address clone'' on the router's set-up page under the set-up tab. then check if you can get a public ip address after that.

  • Airport not maintaining internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard

    Airport keeps throwing me out of internet connection on my D-link router with Macbook Pro 5.5 with Snow leopard. Pls if anyone has a solution to this then let me know

    I'm using my PC notebook because connecting with my iMac is IMPOSSIBLE!!! If I get connected at all, it's worse than dial-up speed.
    We are wireless via a D-Link DIR-625 (new) -- but was having some problems before with a netgear. Problem much worse now. My computers are not the primary computers. My sister gets that coin toss. She is a PC user. I share with her using WPA2. When the iMac "wakes" the signal bands are strong, but when I go to a page I lose all signal strength. And several times a day I get a message indicating an error joining the network -- arghhhhh -- HELP!
    Is the problem with D-Link or Mac? Thanks for any help.

  • Kernel panic / Internet access with a bad AirPort card

    My iBook G4 started suffering kernel panics just over a week ago. They have rapidly increased in frequency to the extent that it can take several attempts to boot up because they have started occurring during the boot up process (originally they occurred after the iBook had been on for a while).
    I've looked through the forum and have seen that there seem to be some common causes -RAM, AirPort card, or something to do with the HD. I ran disk utility on the HD and it didn't find any problems and I also successfully ran the 'repair disk permissions'. I have tried taking out the RAM -that didn't do anything. The kernel panic does frequently occur when I am either using Mail or Safari, but as I've said, it also occurs when I'm booting up -does the fact that it happens when I boot up mean that it cannot be the AirPort card (which incidentally is not under the keyboard -so it must be inside)?
    Earlier today I switched off AirPort and was able to work on the computer for almost three hours without any kernel panic (but also without internet access). Less than a minute after switching it back on, it froze again.
    If this does mean that the problem is with the AirPort card, I have a question about internet access. I use the iBook on a wireless network that stems from a modem with a Mac downstairs and I do not have any internet cables, or a phone line, in the room where the iBook is used. Is it possible to use something like AirPort Express even with a bad AirPort card? And does AirPort Express connect to the iBook, or to the main modem downstairs?
    Apologies for so many questions and many thanks for any help you are able to give -this has been driving me around the bend for the past week?

    Update:
    An acquaintance who works for Apple suggested that before assuming that the problem was the AirPort card / buying further equipment, I should boot up with the original installation disk in and use the disk utility function to 'repair disk'. I did that and got a 'Volume Header needs minor repair' message. It repaired that & I restarted the iBook. I was able to do an update back-up to my external hard drive & all was fine until I switched AirPort back on -there was an instant kernel panic.
    I figured that it couldn't hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test -did that and restarted again. Was able to open Mail (AirPort was on) but then the AirPort connection disappeared and the pointer froze, but there was no kernel panic screen. I had to force quit -restarted again. This time I was able to use Mail, downloaded a song on iTunes, and was on the internet for about 45mins before the connection disappeared and the pointer froze again. I could force quit the app but with a frozen pointer I ended up having to force quit again.
    I waited a while and then booted up again (without problem) but this time I was told that there was no Airport card present! Shut down and reran the Hardware Test (which said that AirPort 'Passed'). When I restarted AirPort was briefly there but disappeared when I opened AirPort Utility and at this point the pointer also froze. I did force quit to get out of the app and then there was a kernel panic. Is this now pretty conclusive that the AirPort card is the problem?
    I would appreciate any feedback -I've had a very frustrating week with this.
    Thanks.

  • No Internet Access with Static IP and RVS 4000

    I have an RVS 4000.  I have several PC's to which I have assigned static IP addresses.  I have recently upgraded most of the PC's to Win 7 (64) machines.  I updated the firmware on the RVS4000 to 1.3.3.5 in conjunction with this.  After such update (and actually before as well) I could not assign a static IP address to a PC and have access to the internet.  It connects fine to my LAN, just no internet access.  This is also affected on several other machines running Win XP and Win 2003 Server, so it's not just this computer. 
    I have:
         1.  Shut down (powered off/unplugged) everything, router, DSL modem, switches, server, etc.
         2.  As I said firmware is current.
         3.  Yes, DNS servers and gateway, subnet, etc. are all correctly specified on the PC.
         4.  Router is set for gateway mode.
         5.  Set to only IPV4.
    The only way it allows internet access is to use DHCP.  I've even tried taking the IP address via DHCP and manually assigning the DNS servers and that works fine, but as soon as I assign a static IP internet access is immediately gone.
    There must be something I'm missing, but I can't seem to find it.
    Everything worked fine prior to the conversion of the Win 7 machines, i.e. I had several PC's with static IP's and no problems.
    Any thoughts appreciated.

    As an addendum, if I turn off the Firewall (internet access policy to disable) it will allow the static IP computer to have internet access.  I have the DHCP range set to be .5 - .54 and am using a static ip outside this range.  The Internet access policy is to restrict those PC's getting IP via DHCP.

  • No internet access with iphone 3GS ios5 personal hotspot

    Prior to upgrading to IOS5 I was able to tether my Windows box to my iPhone 3GS.  Now with the upgrade I'm not able to connect using the new Personal Hotspot method that was introduced.  I can connect the phone, and actually see a network show up in my network connections but I get no internet access through it.  I can ping the Gateway that the network gets but that's it.  Can't ping the DNS server or anything else.  Any ideas here would be very appreciated.

  • Software for controlling internet access with Airport Exreme

    I'd like to find software that let's me control what pc's in the house have internet access at certain times. My iMac is my main computer, and I use Airport Extreme as my router.

    You probably need to set the card up in OSX. Verizon should have a modem script that needs to be installed. (Hard Drive>Library>Modem Scripts). Then you need to set up the card from Network Preferences. Then it should work on both platforms.

  • Can't access all internet pages with new wifi

    I just moved and my apartment complex has free Wifi. I can access most web pages but can't open for example fox.com, abc.com. A message says I am not connected to internet. I have to login to the wifi service and I am recognized. I don't know if it is my computer or wifi. Thanks

    Im willing to bet its the wifi. Reason being is I have had a similar experience with my old wifi router. I would get a dropped connection and i thought it was my macbook and PC. Turned out it was my router and once i upgraded to a Airport Extreme, everything has been fine and i have not had a single dropped connection. If its in an apartment complex, Im willing to guess they have a normal router from wherever its transmitting from and the router cannot handle the load. Perhaps someone is also trying to access the router not knowing passwords and this causes the router to lag and kick people off. Try bringing your computer to a friends house with wifi and try loading the pages there.
    Hope this was a little useful.

  • Why did I lose all internet connectivity with new Mozilla Firefox update?

    I recently updated mozilla firefox on my other computer, an ibm thinkpad (windows xp) and since installing, there is no longer any ability to connect to the internet, even with internet explorer. I even tried to do a system restore and this did not work. What can i do to fix this?

    When you can not connect after an update, it is usually caused by a firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. Try removing Firefox from the rules list of your Firewall which will force the firewall to create a new rule for Firefox. Also see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

  • Internet Access with a Networking Card

    I have a macbook pro (for about three months) that has VISTA installed. ( I have been a PC user for about 20 years and will need time to learn about the MAC operating system). I bought a Verizon USB720 card to access the internet nationally through VISTA on the macbook pro. There may be some software in the computer that prevents my being able to use this card. The error message in effect says that someone is using this internet connection. I returned the first Verizon card and bought another card with the same error message. Any ideas what the problem may be? Many thanks EKL1

    You probably need to set the card up in OSX. Verizon should have a modem script that needs to be installed. (Hard Drive>Library>Modem Scripts). Then you need to set up the card from Network Preferences. Then it should work on both platforms.

  • Internet problem with New Airport Extreme base and new Macbook Pro

    So I bought a Airport Extreme base station with my new Macbook pro.
    My desktop system uses a DSL modem which is connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. It works flawless. I can also unhook the hard ethernet connection from the desktop and connect it to the Macbook Pro with no problems.
    I then connected the ethernet cable from the DSL router to the WAN port on the Airport Base.
    I have no problem gettiing the Macbook pro to set itself up on the Airport Network. I can NOT, though, access the internet. I even tried to type in the IP address for the DSL modem while connected to Airport base and can not connect to modem. Does anyone have any advice? Is there a bridging function in the Airport Base that has to be activated?
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    Thanks,
    Danny

    Make sure you perform a complete power recycle when switching network components.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL modem & AEBS. (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    If that doesn't resolve the problem, and your DSL ISP requires PPPoE for connectivity, you will need to set that up on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) as follows:
    Connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, using the AirPort Admin Utility, check these settings:
    Internet tab
    - Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
    - Account Name: <ISP account name>
    - Change password: <ISP password>
    - Always stay connected (checked)
    - WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
    Another question. If I replace my current DSL Router with a wireless router, do I even need the airport base if all I want to do it connect to the internet with the laptop?
    No, the AEBS will no longer be required.

  • No internet access with iMac

    I have an Intel iMac. I have cable internet through Comcast. About a week ago I started getting "server not found" messages while loading pages, but if I clicked refresh the page would load. This occurred with Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Then two days I couldn't load any pages, use Google earth, download software updates, etc. I called Apple and they said it was a comcast problem, but they came out today and hooked up a laptop and got an internet connection and later I hooked up my old pc and got an internet connection, which I'm using now. So the modem's working fine. The firewall is off. The comcast tech guys said they'd never seen anything like it and tried all the network preference settings. Something is not allowing the iMac to communicate through the modem to receive data off the internet. They said there's some kind of issue with assigning the right IP addresses.
    Has anyone experienced or heard of anything like this and know of a fix?
    Greg

    I tried restarting everything (turned everything off and unplugged all cords from outlets) and it still doesn't connect, but oddly I get different results from network diagnostics and network status. In diagnostics I get:
    Built in Ethernet -- green
    Network settings -- green
    ISP -- green
    Internet -- red
    Server -- red
    And the message: Cannot find server. This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find apple.com. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
    Network status reads: Built in ethernet is currently active and has the IP address xx.xxx.xxx.xx (note, I did get numbers but didn't want to publish them in case that's a security risk). You are connected to the internet via Built in Ethernet.
    So, it appears the ethernet port is working fine, but something else is lost in translation between the modem and the ethernet card.

  • Internet problems with an RV-082 Router and Swann DVR connected.

    I have a problem from the twilight zone.  When my Swann DVR (CONVR-B163MP) is NOT connected I can access the internet without any problems.  When the Swann DVR is connected, I lose access to Google and secure "Log-in" webpages.  It is as if there is a firewall blocking them.  I can access most normal websites without any problems.  Once the problem occurs, I need to reboot the router in order to gain clear access again.  Just unplugging the DVR will not fix it.
    I have a resolution by connecting an older router directly to the WAN, then linking that router to the Cisco RV-082.  I have access controlled by MAC codes and took off the DVR to prevent it from getting access to the Cisco RV-082.  The DVR is connected to  the older router to get to the internet.
    It is just a strange problem.
    The Swann DVR is working through the internet to provide a live video feed to my phone.
    If anyone knows an answer I would be glad to hear it.

  • Connecting a WRT54G v2 to BEFSR41. How do I do it to get internet access with both?

    So recently I just bought a BEFSR41 to split the internet coming from a cat5e cable from the WRT54G so I can get internet on both my xbox 360 and computer, but I've run into a bunch of issues. First off, I've tried turning my BEF into an access point by creating a new IP, disabling DHCP and connecting it to a numbered port, but I can't get internet from that solution. I've called tech support to see if they could help but I just wasted 2 hours of their time because all the solutions they tried didn't work either. So I'm wondering if its my cable thats the problem. Its a CAT5e cable branched through my room to the office room I say about 50 to 100 feet away. I receive internet through this cable when i connect it to the computer but when i connect it to the xbox it doesnt even register an ip. Also when i connect this cable to my very old netgear router RT314, it can receive internet but it has trouble with connecting to different users. Any help will be much appreciated.
