24" iMac can't connect with Linksys

My new 24" iMac connects fine when hard wired to the Linksys BEFW11S4, but cannot truly connect by WAN. The diagnostics say that I am connected to the Internet, but the page (that doesn't come up) says that I'm not connected. The iMac is sitting right next to the router and our Dell laptop connects just fine. Any suggestions?
I'll try calling Apple in the morning. I'm a little discouraged by the whole PC to Mac process. I don't blame Apple completely, but they are clearly not as ready out of the box as the ads imply.

richperson,
I disagree. The most likely explanation for you and
others having a similar sounding problem is that so
many are first time Mac users. For one thing, many
first time Mac users simply do not take seriously the
"Welcome" setup procedure that appears when they
first startup their Macs. That setup will largely
determine whether subsequent operation will be
trouble free or not.
Eh,eh, you should as well tell the OP that he's doomed...
Since the Core 2 Duo is basically the same iMac as
the prior Core Duo that released just eight months
ago, it would be highly unlikely that there is
anything new that must be conquered. If one looks
across the other Mac discussion areas, it is common
that wireless networking problems are as persistent
an issue regardless whether the Mac computer model
has just been released, or is a five year old model.
Exactly...
One thing I do know is that AirPort works basically
the same in all Macs.
or doesnt !
Though I agree with you the OP probably did not configure properly airport authentification, parameters (or forgot to adjust MAC adress on the routeur or...), there ARE issues with wifi up to os 10.4.7. (I know of at least one bug more or less predictable and described it there : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=618964 . I still hope I'll get some feedback on a bug report I submitted about 10 days ago...)
We won't know for sure why the OP can't connect wirelessly until he takes the trouble to detail exactly the configuration of the linksys and the steps he took... For all I know it could be an incorrect configuration (the most probable of course), a bug similar as the one I encountered or an hardware failure...
But it looks like the OP came there to complain and whine, not really for help...

E70 can only connect with Linksys by Easy WLAN

I have an E70 since apr 2007 and used it without problems.
I bought a new router : Linksys Ultra RangePlus N Router.
Then I configured the router and my three other devices: laptop, Maemo N810 internet tablet and my HP WLAN printer connected without a problem.
But not my phone.
I set up WPA/WPA2 and filled in the key.
I see my router in the list of accessible Wifi hotspots and when I try to connect but then it says 'No WLAN network found'.
Restarting the phone and router did not help.
I removed MAC address filtering (despite my phone's MAC address is in the filter), did not help.
I put the Mixed mode (B/G/N) to Mixed (B/G) and then it said 'WPA key authentication failed'. Filling in the WPA key on the phone did not help.
Then I set on the phone TKIP encryption disabled, and then the router doen not appear anymore in the list.
And then I tried Easy WLAN , I selected my router SSID and filled in the key and Voila it worked.
But why is it not in the list of accessible Wifi hotspots ? Now I have to fill in the key every time when I connect to my own hotspot because I can only access it via Easy WLAN.
Any ideas on this ?

New XBOX 360 S can't connect with Linksys WRT54G2

I can't get the XBOX 360 (the new S model) to connect w/ XBOX Live through my Linksys WRT54G2.
After the automatic settings didn't work, I tried some manual instructions here:
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/WRT54G2-issues-when-it-s-plugged-in/m-p/207071?qu...
But that didn't work.
Note: I have a laptop and an iPad that connect to the router just fine.
Ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One additional piece of info... When I go to my Windows PC and look at the Network Map (Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Map), the XBOX shows up as part of the network. But it has a dashed green line connected to it, instead of a solid green line like the rest of the devices.
Not sure if that provides any additional clues.

Macbook can't connect with/to iMac

I've got an Mabook and an iMac, plus an airport extreme. Both can connect wireless to the internet, my iMac sees and connects with the macbook just fine, but when I try to connect my macbook to my imac it sees the imac (it shows up under 'shared' in finder, but it won't connect. It keeps on trying and after a good few minutes it just tells me the connection got reset or something like that. What can I do to have my macbook establishing a connection with my imac?

I've had this problem before... hopefully your fix is as simple as mine was.
You should double check the iMac's "Sharing" preference pane and make sure that file sharing is enabled. It's confusing because there is a "Guest" account set up so that everyone can get to the publicly accessible "shared" folders (that's why the iMac shows up on your MacBook's finder) but you won't be able to actually log into the iMac unless it has file sharing turned on.
I hope this helps!

Can I share my iMac's internet connection with my Touch?

I have a DSL modem and do not have a wifi network setup. Using Lion, can I still share my iMac's internet connection with my Touch?
If so can you give me step by steps? Will this be something that I can turn off and on without interfering with my regular ethernet internet connection?
Thanks. Asking this for a friend who is scared that she will somehow mess up her existing internet connection if she tries to set this up. She
called AppleCare to get them to walk her through this and they denied any knowledge of the ability to do this. Huh?

OK. Remember this is just a form of texting, so it's not easy to discern whether a question is explicit or rhetorical. Sometimes you have to give the reader a clue.

Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

Can only connect to Linksys E4200 when very close but PCs can connect at 50 feet. What's the solution?

If you're technically comfortable in getting to your Linksys settings - try changing the network mode or channel in your router's settings.
I still use my old Linksys router and when it's set to the default channel, which is 7, my Macbook Pro and Macbook Air sometimes have issues - changed the channel to 9 and have had no issues since.
Maybe it might work for you.
In any event - screenshots below are for your E4200 and play with those settings and see if any of the changes you've made improves how your Macbook connects. Before you change any settings, just remember what the old settings are in case you need to go back to your old settings.
Good luck.

How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.

I can't connect with Turkey!

Hi! I have a problem. I'm from Poland and can't connect with my friend from Turkey using Skype. It's strange coz she is the only one from my friends with whom i can't establish connection. And she is from Turkey. I talked to people from US, South Africa and other remote countries but I can't establish connection with Turkey! And i'm from Poland. Does Turkey block connection from Poland? She has the same problem. She can't connect only with me - she talks to people from all over the world expect me. Can you help me?

I can't connect with using connector

Hi,
I want to create a system(Solman 4.0) in Portal.I have created a SAP system using dedicated application server and then I filled all necessary fields.I tested with using system connection test.There are two test nameS(SAP Web AS Connection and Connection test for Connectors)Firstly, I checked WAS Connection and everything was ok but when I tested "Connection Test for Connectors" it didn't work.When I clicked test button, it said "Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct" but I didn't use UIDPW.I used the Logon Ticket method and system_type is SAP_CRM but when I checked log file, it said this message "(R3/BW) Failed to get connection. Please contact your admin".I didin't understand because I have already used SAP_CRM syte sytem type.Why do I get this message. In addition, The ume.usermapping.unsecure is already on TRUE.In short, I can't connect with using connector.What's the problem?

Can I connect with more than one iTunes acct

Can I connect with more than one iTunes acct

If its multiple apple id's on one computer you can't because you have to log out of one and login on another.
I've only got one ID so I can't test but Winston says you can be signed into iTunes with multiple AppleIDs (i.e authorise iTunes for more than one ID content) at the same time, and that even different account content will stream so long as Home Sharing ID in iTunes matches AppleTV Home Sharing ID.
