AE full strength, cant get internet

Going through the posts it seems alot of people are having this problem, and no one seems to have a solution. I have a powerbook G-4, with AE that registers the network at full strength, but it wont allow me to open a web page. it says its not connecting to the server. i have tried the trouble shooting tips on the apple web page but no luck. the other computer we have on the same network works fine. is this problem a scam just to get people buying the apple care plan or what? any one have any potential solutions? im going crazy here. also, it didnt work when i connected it straight to the ethernet cable. PLEASE HELP!

A few questions:
- are you using an Airport Base Station, or a non-Apple wireless router
- have you ever been able to get this Powerbook connected to your network? Or is this the first time you've tried it?
- did this problem begin after installing a software update?

  • Can connect to wireless, cant get internet

    Hello,
    I've recently been having an issue where I can connect to any wireless network, but I cant get an IP, and sometimes I get an internal IP, or even if I get one I cant get any internet connection. This is happening everywhere but my home. School, friends, etc. I've tried everything I can to get it working, I just dont know why I can connect to the networks fine, but cant get internet.
    Thanks

    What have you got set as the primary and secondary DNS servers (Network Preferences/TCP/IP) ?
    Try using 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 in there and see what happens.

  • I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    I can Connect my iPhone to Time Capsule network, but I Cant get internett on it??

    Download 5.6 utility for Lion.. inbuilt version is hopeless.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
    Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
    That seems to have fixed it for most people.

  • I had my iphone 3gs unlocked so i could use it in Oz, however although i can phone works ok, i cant get internet, but i the option of Cellular Data Network does not appear with the new sim? Can anyone help pls?

    Hi Just wondered if anyone can help with the above question? I had O2 phone unlocked and bought a local sim card, but although the calls are fine i have no option for internet etc.  I have done searches and got the info details from the sim provider to activate, but  instructions say i go to : Settings; General; Network and then Celluar Data Network, but I dont get that option ?  When i put back my O2 sim card, the option reappears?
    Can anyone help me please? Off to Australia again soon and really could do with it working properly this time.
    Thanks everyone
    Ronnie

    Hi Ronnie, was wondering what brand sim card you bought?
    Was it from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Virgin or Mayasim?
    I have a 4 S running iOS 5.01 is there an option in Settings - Network - Carrier? As this should be set to the supplier of the sim card. In my Settings - Network there is no option for Celluar Data Network.
    What version of the iOS are you using?
    Some prepaid sim cards may not have a lot of data, so I suggest searching the companies websites for the best deals before you come here. Telstra usually have good plans. If you take your phone to the shop you purchased the sim card from they will usually set it up for you. 
    Telstra runs on a different frequency to others and offers the best coverage in Australia.
    Just for the record I am not an employee of any mobile company.

  • I did upgrade my iphone3gs to ios 6 but now i cant get internet access

    what do i have to do???

    Confirmed issue with my iPhone 4 (iOS6) and Airport Extreme (7.6.1). When I connect to the Wifi network, it pops up with a "login" page from apple.com that is not found. I can browse apple.com through that window, but if I hit cancel, wifi disconnects.
    Appears to be iOS6/Airport combo specific as MBP and iPad still running iOS5 have no issues. I am also able to connect the iPhone 4 to another wireless router (Verizon FIOS) with no issues.

  • Ipod touch 4 generation referbished, now cant get into network

    sent the ipod touch away to be repaired, got a new one, now cant remember family network pass word and cant get internet connection...help

    Check your wireless router's instruction book, there should be a way to access the settings through your web browser. The password should be stored there somewhere.

  • Internet Is Connected At Full Strength, But Nothing Works?

    I got my Macbook Pro in August 2008, and other than having difficulty picking up wireless networks, haven't had any connectivity issues. I've been at home since May 8th, and the wireless here has been working fine--up until a few days ago. Airport says that I am connected at full strength, and diagnostics says that there is nothing wrong with the connection, but nothing can access the internet (safari, firefox, adium, itunes, or updaters). Firefox tells me that there is a network timeout. I have a Linksys router, but I don't think that is the issue as a) three other computers in the house, the xbox 360, and my brother's ipod touch can all access the internet fine; and b)internet from my neighbors or my local coffee shop also don't work. I took it to my boyfriend's house, and it worked fine there where he has a mac network, but that could be a random happenstance as we only tried it once and my internet also started randomly working fine for a while last night. I'm trying to take it in to a genius bar before I leave for school in a week (as there isn't one close to where I'm going), but until then, anyone got any pointers? I've restarted Airport, the computer, the router, and the modem already. Thank you!

    If you have some warranty left, and I assume you do, then why not call AppleCare first. Then, you'd have two more or less immediate shots at getting a fix. For lack of anything better to do, you could do the things mentioned in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1924527.

  • After ios5 upgrade cant get out to the internet via wireless, it wont  get past our Smart Filter (web filter)

    I just upgraded my 3GS to IOS5, and now at work when i am connected to our WiFi I can no longer get out to the internet.
    A little back story on how it worked prior to ios5:
    I would connect via wireless, and then load Safari and type in a webpage I wanted to go to.  A pop up box would come up, to authenticate me on our Web filter server (Running Smartfilter), I woudl enter my regular Active Directory username and Password and boom, i could then surf to my hearts content.
    After the upgrade, I connect to the wireless, load Safari, type in the webpage i want to go to, and the progress bar moves abotu 3mm and then stops, I never get the smart filter prompt.
    I have tried a full reset on the phone, forget network, reset all network settings, I even tried putting in the IP address of the smart filter box as a proxy and still it doesnt work.  I have gone to smartfilters website to see if anyone else has posted there, or if there was a clue as to why it doesnt work, but nothing so far.
    anyone else having this problem? any ideas?
    If it wasnt broken, why would apple mess with it!  a LOT of companies run smartfilter as well as other web filters.  I thought apple was trying to seduce corporate customers, and so far a lot of poeple are dissapointed that they cant get to the internet.
    tha
    nks in advance for any assistance.
    j

    I am having the same problem.  The issue also occurs with Safari on Mac OS 10.7.  I work for a school and I am sure that other schools are using smartfilter too.

  • WRT54G ver 2 - Shows Im connected to wireless but cant get on internet

    I just moved into a new apartment and am having trouble getting my wireless router to work. I just got my cable internet set up and can get on with the modem fine but cant get the wireless to work so my roommate can get  online. I think i was able to get online when i had the modem connected to the router with a ethernet cord going from router to computer but cant even get that now. I tried some of the FAQ guides like "setting up a router with cable internet' and 'seting up wirless settings on a linksys router"  and cloning my MAC  and downloading new firmwear for the router but still no luck.
    Everything worked fine a couple days ago at my old house. When i search for wirless networks on my mac I see my linksys and it has full connection. When i go to it it shows green lights for ethernet,network settings and ISP but internet and Server are red. I would really like to get wireless internet up so me and my roommate dont have to share the modem tonight so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Bypass the router and connect the computer directly to the modem. Make sure that you can access the Internet through the modem.
    Connect the modem to the Internet port and the same computer to Ethernet port 1 on the router.
    Check the lights on the router. You will see Power, Port 1, Wireless and Internet lights on the router.
    Turn OFF the Airport on your computer.
    Press and hold the reset button on your router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and restart your computer.
    Open the internet browser and in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 and log in to the router setup page.
    Go to MAC address clone sub tab. Enable the MAC address clone and click on Clone my PC's MAC. Save the settings.
    Unplug the power to the router and modem. First plug in the power to the modem. Wait for 1 minute and then plug in the power to the router. Wait for a minute and then try to access the Internet on your computer.
    If you are still not able to access the Internet then open the setup page of the router again and check the Internet IP address on the status page.
    If you are not getting Internet IP address then router and modem are not communicating with each other.

  • Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet

    please help me, i'm using TELKOMSEL (indonesian) i have data plans, and it's 4gb, the thing is, as i said Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet, i tried to access google using safari, chrome, but still the same message, network not available, those things.... PLEASE HELP ME..

    It sounds like a poor data connection. I get the same thing when I try to use AT&T here in my house. It shows 4G and 3 bars but I get little to no data at all. If that is what is happening to you, you can try another carrier if there is one.
    Here, I can get LTE at my house and about 10-15Mbps on T-Mobile. Switching carriers can make the difference.

    When the pop up changes, select the first tab: Langues
    You should see one or more forms of Francais in the list.
    At the bottom of the window, click on Modifier la Liste...
    Deselect all forms of Francais, and click on whichever form of English you prefer.
