169.254.x.x and limited wireless connection
Hi, I'm having some problems with my wireless network. I have a WRT54G router set up and 2 computers that connect to it wirelessly. My new laptop with vista can connect to my router and works well. My pc with xpsp2 does connect to my router but it has an ip address of 169.254.213.2, 255.255.0.0 for subnetmask, and the default gateway is blank.
I set everything up to obtain automatic ip and dns info. I tried the repair icon on my task bar, but an error message comes up saying it couldn't renew the ip address. I tried ipconfig /release and /renew but renews with the same ips.
From my pc, I tried pinging around:
to my router (192.168.1.100) and it worked
to my laptop (192.168.1.101) request got timed out
to website (google.com) and it worked.

So, I THINK my problem is with my linksys network adapter.
I use a WRT54G router
My USB Network Adapter thats on my pc is a WUSB54G
Your PC with address 169.254.213.2 is not connecting wirelessly to your router. This address indicates a failed connection, and it is generated by the PC itself. If you were connected to the router, your address would be 192.168.1.x
The most likely cause is a computer software firewall problem. Temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, and see if that helps.
If you still have trouble, do the following:
First of all, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. You should connect automatically (within 2 minutes).
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.

Cant' get my AirPort to sync up with internet. I get the message "AirPort has the self addressed IP address 169.254.231.99 and will not connect to the internet. How do I fix? Thanks.
What broadband router do you have?
What model Time Capsule do you have?
If you changed the system over from another router.. have you rebooted the entire network.. particularly a cable modem.. did you power off for at least 20min..
Tell us some info and we can help. -
Cannot connect to internet wirelessly because I get the message "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.153.51 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -

Additional things to try.
Try this first. 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.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Mini connects to internet via cable modem fine.
Want to have ipad connect also but mini Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.210.251 and will not be able to connect to the Internet. How to fix?Hello:
I am a long way from a wi-fi expert, but.....
You need, I think, either a router with wi-fi or an airport (express or extreme). The iPad needs to connect to to a network. In my case, I use an airport express and both my iMac and iPad 2 connect to the Internet through the airport device.

I just got my new Macbook Pro today. When I tried to connect it to my Wi-Fi at home it won't connect. I put in my WEP key correct every time and it keeps saying "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.74.157 and will not be able to connect to the internet" . I connect my iPod touch to this same Wi-Fi all the time plus my other laptop and my phone and it works fine. Please help !! I use Verizon Fios modem/router.
Hi, it could be that the Router will not allow you onto the network..Reboot, Modem,Router & computer..

Power-Cycle the modem.... though it looks like your internet services may have gone down.. or something else upstream has gone kaut.

Reset the TC and make sure it is in the right mode.. ie router if you use a cable pure modem for instance.
Or if you use a router combined modem.. put the TC in bridge mode. -
I have a MacBook Air, which I just upgraded to OSX Lion. I also have the latest version of iTunes. When I try to stream to the AirPort, the Airport resets, and the wireless connection on the macbook locks up. Any suggestions where to start?
To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit. -
Linksys E2500 and Mavericks wireless connection
Installed Mavericks and lost wireless connection with my linksys e2500.
Cisco connect says "unsupported operating system" and "visit http://homesupport.cisco.com/linksys/support"
Cisco website does not address Mavericks OSI'm having the same issue with my Cisco Linksys router.
I am unable to connect to the wifi network, or use the Cisco Connect application. As the application is the only way of adding and removing devices from the network, changing the password, and likely fixing this issue, I'm quite frustrated.
I phoned Cisco about this issue yesterday and they had no helpful information. They advised me to download the newest Connect software from their website, and stated this should fix the issue. I told them that I'd already attempted this solution, but their software has only been updated to include a compatibility fix with 10.8, and the issue is with 10.9. They then advised that I restart my computer. AKA, they would be no further help.
The Connect software is available for download here, so I hope that they release an update soon with a fix to this problem. The release notes under the latest update include a mention of the 10.8 compatibility fix, so I hope a 10.9 fix will be forthcoming.
The only solution in the meantime seems to be a complete restart and install of the router and software using a PC. And even this only works to correct the Cisco Connect issue, and likely not the main issue of actually using the wifi network with Mavericks. Regardless, I believe this is a Cisco/Linksys issue, and not an Apple issue. -
Broken lock button and limited headphone connectivity covered?
Would a broken lock button and limited headphone connectivity be covered in the 1 year limited warranty?
It's hardware, but I'm unsure if it's counted as physical damage or not. It's a long drive to an Apple store and I don't want to waste gas to get a 'no'.Covered by warranty unless the damage is due to abuse. If the iPod is all beat up and dented Apple may say it is due to abuse. If it just shows normal wear it should be covered under warranty.

169.254 ip range and internet connection
Hi,
I've got a iMac connected to a windows network.
The IP Range for this network is 169.254.92.x. (it's an historical setup, and i can't change it, due to all the PCs and windows servers...).
The imac can connect to internet via the router for a little time, but after some minutes, all the internet connections (mail, safari) stop working.
But, Internet Explorer in Parrallels Desktop is running well, which means that the network works fine.
Does Leopard don't work when it's network setup is set to a 169.254.X.X ip range?
Thanks for your answers (and sorry for my english )

Yes, all the network settings are done manually.
And no, it's not possible to install a new router with DHCP. There's 50 PCs and 3 Windows Servers over the network
It takes less than 30 seconds to update a Windows machine's IP from fixed to DHCP, and perhaps a minute to either reserve an IP or to set the DHCP pool to exclude certain IPs and then to set those IPs as fixed on the servers. You could be up and running using DHCP in under a half hour. The odds are excellent that you have already spent more time than that dealing with the current problem.
If you're running Vista, the steps are:
1 open Network and Sharing Center
2 click on 'View Status' of your network connection
3 click on 'Properties'
4 dismiss UAC pop-up
5 double-click on 'Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties'
6 click on the 'Obtain an IP address automatically' radio button
7 click OK
You're done.
If you're running XP, the steps are:
1 open Control Panels
2 double-click Network Connections
3 right-click Local Area Connection and select 'Properties'
4 double-click 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)'
5 click on the 'Obtain an IP address automatically' radio button
6 click OK
you're done.
Doing this 53 times may be tedious, but will not take a significant amount of time.
Most routers from Belkin, Netgear, Linksys, and Apple will allow you to reserve an IP for a specific machine. Required steps are:
1 get the MAC address of the machine in question, either from the command line or the status dialog; see above to see how to get to the status dialog. You can get the MAC address while setting up DHCP.
2 launch the router control HTML page (or, in the case of Apple, AirPort Utility) and go to the section of the admin page which sets reservations.
3 enter the MAC address for the desired machine. The system will reserve a particular IP just for that machine. It will never be handed out to any other machine.
4 reboot the router
you're done.
The only machines which need reserved IPs are the servers and the printers, so you need do this only for the three servers plus whatever printers you have.
Let me be explicit: if you keep using APIPA for your network range, you will continue to have problems. You can continue using APIPA for something it was not intended for, and continue having to patch things after the fact, or you can move to one of the private network ranges (probably a Class C, as you only have 53 nodes, not counting printers) and eliminate the problem at the source. If you insist on using APIPA, you will have to update the NAT, DNS, and DHCP lists yourself, on each new machine added to the network. And you will not know when there's a network connectivity problem as you will have fixed IPs which show an APIPA address as a normal setting, instead of DHCP-set IPs which show an APIPA address only when there is a problem.
It's your choice. I'd spend the half-hour, but that's me.
