Airport connected but can't get internet....PLEASE HELP!!!

I am a college student who went to college and used an apple airport base station for my mbp and everything worked fine, and before i went to school i used my parents linksys wireless router and it all worked fine. i came home from college today and used the internet (over the linksys router) for about 5 minutes, then came back a few hours later. after i came back my computer said i was connected via airport to the linksys router but i cant load any page at all with any internet browser, also aim and msn messenger wont work. when i get on the internet i get this message "safari can’t open the page “http://www.yahoo.com/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message." i can connect if i plug my mbp in and i have tried the network diagnostics for airport several times, and it comes back saying that i am connected and it is all working fine, but its not. any help would be great. thanks.

I have the same problem...New MacBook Pro connects fine to Airport at home. Shows connected to WPA network at work but no Internet connectivity - or it takes a VERY long time to pull anything up. Have run the Network Diagnostics successfully and Mac thinks it is connected, but still not able to reach web sites.
Have followed instructions here: Article ID: 106799 Mac OS: Long Delay Before Web Pages Start to Load, Then Load Suddenly at Normal Speed without success. Can hardwire my MacBook Pro and use the network in this way.
I am a network admin and I set-up the wireless so I am familiar with the details, but am truly baffled why my Mac will not connect to the Internet.

New PC laptop - can get on Airport Network but can't access internet

Just got a new HP laptop for real estate reasons (MLS is only available through a PC).
All of my other computers are Macs and my wireless network is on a Airport Basestation.
I can access the network with the PC but can't get on the internet even though I'm on the network.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, you have a completely different situation than that of the Originator of this post. In your case, you're using your Mac as a software base station and not a wireless router.
The following would be the setup steps...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac > (wireless) > PC
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start

I'm connected to my airport network but can't get online

2 days ago, i was online and everything was working fine.
Yesterday, i tried going online and i was told that i was not connected to the internet even though i had full signal bars from my airport. I've restarted my computer a dozen times, checked all my internet connection settings, but nothing worked, i'm still being told that i'm not connected to the internet although internet connect says i am. contrarily, network diagnostics says i am not connected.
this happened to me once before over the summer. i gave up and didn't use my computer for about a week. when i tried using it again, the internet was just fine. however, i do not have the luxury of waiting a week because my school curriculum requires the use of the internet.
what's wrong with my computer and how is it that i connected just fine 2 days ago, but cannot since then? please help!

if relevant, my software versions are as follows:
Safari 3.1.1
Internet Connect 1.4.3
Network Diagnostics 1.0.2

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

Imac wi-fi, it says I have a connection but can't get any internet access

Hi All,
Help please, just got a new iPad air and trying to use the Wi-Fi function on the iMac to access internet on the iPad. Used to be able to do this on previous tablet but now iMac won't wi-fi any of my devices- including new iPad. All devices and iMac say there is a connection but when I open internet apps it tells me there is no connection. Have reset iPad, turned wi-fi on/off, turned internet sharing on/off everything! Think the problem is the iMac, can anyone suggest a solution?
Cheers

I have checked the network in the system preference. The Built-In-Ethernet has a green light beside it and says "Built-In-Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address (bunch of numbers). You are connected to the Internet via Built-In-Ethernet."
When I click on "Assist me" and then "Diagnostics", The Network Diagnostics screen pops up and Scans for a while. There's five tabs on the left. Built-In-Ethernet is green, Network Settings is Green, and ISP is green. After scanning for a while, the tab by Internet goes red and says Failed below it, and the tab by Server goes red and says Failed below it. Then it asks me "Have you ever used this computer to successfully connect to the internet?" I say yes, and then it asks for the network port configuration that I would like to use. I choose Built-In-Ethernet, and it scans for a while and tells me "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find www.apple.com. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
My neighbor has a wireless network that is unsecured. I use it all the time on my ipod touch. My imac finds it, connects to it, but I still have the same problem. No browser or mail will work.

Connect to wireless network but can't get internet

Hi
First time on any sort of technical forum so please bear with me :o)
I've just received an iPad for Christmas and I CAN get connected to my wireless home network (AOL / Netgear 834g) *but I CAN'T use the Internet*. I hate to say I've been at it for hours (to embarassed to say how many!).
I've read the discussion forums, read the manuals and I'm sitting here thinking ... AM I THAT THICK... and I fear the answer is YES :o)
Normally with all my mobile devices I simply add the WEP and I'm connect but this doesn't seem that simple! For one I can't even find where this number would go.. As you can probably tell I'm not technical. I don't want to start messing about with my router settings
I was soooo delighted with my iPad and now I feel I just want to send it back (I won't of course!).
Can someone give me some "simple" to follow help / advice / assistance? or am I doomed!
I eagerly wait some help ;o)

PC laptop connects to Imac's airport network, but can't browse internet

Hi there,
I've got a new early 2008 iMac with inbuilt Airport and I'm trying to use the in-built airport to create a wireless network with my windows based PC laptop.
Before getting the iMac this year I had an old 2000 eMac and a Netgear router that I used to connect my PC to the internet wirelessly. It worked perfectly after I set it all up using the Router login page.
But now using the in-built Airport, the PC can go as far as connecting to the iMac's internet connection, but whenever I try to view a page on Firefox or IE, I get an "address not found" page. And yes, I've got my Firefox's network connection settings set to "auto-detect proxy settings for this network".
Is there something wrong with my Airport, or are there some fundamental setup steps I need to go through in setting up the network?
This is what I did to set up my Airport network: I chose Create Network from the Airport pulldown menu, then gave it a name, with the channel set to Automatic (11). I've chosen a 5 ascii character WEP password. Then when I connect on my PC laptop for the first time, it sees the SSID, then asks for the network key. I enter it, it spends about 3 minutes trying connect to the iMac, and finally it says Connected, with a signal strength of excellent.
This is all well and good, but as I said, as soon as I try to access the internet, it fails with a broken page. Even though it says "connected" as the wireless status.
The same happens when I set up a new network using this time a 13 ascii character WEP password.
Is it in fact possible to connect to the in-built Airport using a PC, or do I need to get a new external router. Seems a bit of a waste...
Any help much appreciated!
Lachlan

Hi Duane, thanks for your reply.
I did as you said. I opened Sharing preferences, selected share your connection from Ethernet to computers using Airport. I then set up a new network with new WEP password, but unfortunately my PC won't connect at all to it. After I hit the connect button, it tries for a while, then I get the message "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network..."
Is it because I've said to connect to computers using Airport? Only one computer's got airport and that is the iMac that I'm trying to connect the PC to.
A reply above says I still need a router - is that the case? I thought the iMac's built in Airport effectively acts as a router.
Thanks again for your help.

Users of Windows 7 Computers connected to Domain but can not get Internet Randomly

After crash of DC, I have replaced the domain controller server 2008 with another machine but with same name. I got trust relationship issue, which I resolved by disjoining and rejoining. After this I am facing below mentioned issue on computers randomly.
High Privileges users have no issue with internet access. Low privileges users can not access internet on workstations randomly. Users login properly, all group policy settings applied to them. but internet does not work with them using Internet Explorer
and Google Chrome. All pings work fine. I viewed the proxy settings by command line as proxy settings are disabled for low privileges users. It was correct but still internet was not working. While over Firefox by adding manually proxy(not set
through group policy), internet works.
When I tried to login through a new user which has not logged in over affected machine. Internet works. After logging off by new user and logging on old users (already created profiles), internet starts working for them too. I am afraid may this trick does
not work on other machines.
Now I want to know, if above mentioned trick does not work what should I do to activate the internet. What is the root cause of this issue.

Hi,
Did you mean you set the same proxy, high privileges user could keep connection and low privileges user drop connection randomly? At the same time, Firefox also could keep connection, right?
Please try to reset Winsock and DNS for a test on problematic computer. Open command prompt with Administrator Previleges, then type the following commands.
netsh int reset
ipconfig /flushdns
Besides that, update the network driver for test.

I have a connection, but can't get any internet or email

I have two macs. The new one suddenly won't open any internet pages or email. I can't use Safari or Firefox or my mail. The old G4 cube on the same cable modem is having no problems at all. I called my ISP, and everything is fine from their end, and they can see my IP address and it matches what they have, so all should be working. On the imac, it says I have an internet connection, gives me an IP address, and claims I'm connected. But when I open Safari or Firefox or my mail, I get nothing.
Any suggestions?

I have checked the network in the system preference. The Built-In-Ethernet has a green light beside it and says "Built-In-Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address (bunch of numbers). You are connected to the Internet via Built-In-Ethernet."

I'm connected but can't get browser, email or even FTP ????

Special thanks for the article "Sun PPPoE on Solaris" by Phil Dibowitz and "Setting Up Solaris OS to Work with Cable Modems" by Muhammad Talha (I have DSL however). Without these 2 articles I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did.
First off I'm running on an AMD CPU with Realtek 8139 PCI plug in card.
Ok here is the problem. It looks like I have connected but I can't get the browser , email or even terminal FTP to work. I think I'm at the gateway but I can't get onto the internet.
Here is how my system looks right after I boot up .
# ifconfig -a

I'm connected right? But why 2 IP addresses (one for me and one for the gateway?)
Solaris gives me notice during BOOT that it can't configure rtls0: for DHCP but then connects somehow? later on in the auto connect script (script copied from Phils article)
Also Phil recommends running debug to generate the connect-errors file. Here it is ! You can see that I HAVE CONNECTED !

>As I understood, you have modem that is connected to the Internet and computers obtain IP from it. Am I correct?
If yes, and your line is some kind of xDSL (for example ADSL or something like that), probably that your modem is router (that kind of lines, there is no real modem with dial up, it just logs on).
I'm only using a 3COM Home Connect HUB. At one time when we had up to 4 computers on it, we were automatically re-assigned up to 4 different IP addresses each time.
>The problem with DHCP and such router is that your computer will have hostname "unknown", if you want other hostname, give it permanent IP and setup program will let you to specify IP address.
I will need to pay my service provider more for a "static IP address" What you are talking about is a "static IP" . Am I right?
>*How to know what IP you have put in default router? On your Windows computer run "ipconfig" command and see what is IP of Gateway (in Solaris it is called default router).
I got it ! Sorry about that you said try on the Windows computer. Thanks.
On my wifes computer it is 169.254.XX.XX
On mine also 169.254.XX.XX
The XX are not the same.
Thanks for all of your help.

All three of my wifi devices connected, but can't browse internet

I don't know if this is a help forum but I'm trying several places to see if I can fix my issues.
New apartment and got an RCA brand modem from them. I hooked my Linksys wireless router to it and have the ethernet cable going from the computer to the router. Desktop works fine. My laptop, moms lapop, ipod can't get to the internet. I see my network on the list and I can connect to it perfectly. It even says connected ( Both on my laptop as well as my moms). On the top though it says no internet access and the network icon has the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark in it.
It seems its not a virus or anything since I recovered my laptop recently. It's on more than one device so it seems like it would be something in the router settings. Therefor I went into the router settings. Keep in mind that I was able to get on my router settings on my laptop. Not my desktop for some reason.
Network mode was Mixed, wireless channel is on 1 and WEP security mode with a password. Also keep in mind that this worked perfectly fine in my old condo. So now the only thing that has changed is a different modom and now living in an apartment.
What could be the problem here?

Make sure the cords are properly connected. Make sure the RCA Modem is connected to the internet port of the Linksys router.

Itouch is connected but can't get email to work from Verizon account

Hi,
I have a new I-touch which is connecting fine to my wireless and will recieve and send email from an alternate email server.
But I cannot get the settings correct for my verizon.net address to work on the I-touch. It confuses me as my email address is verizon.net, but my old settings on my pc are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. Should I be trying incoming.verizon.net, or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net.
I have my user name without the @verizon.net and I have checked the password many times.
I have the port setting at 587.
It is on password authentication.
Can anyone share with me which settings are working for them???
Thanks,
Laura
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't have a iTouch, but I do have an iPhone ... the answer to your question depends on what "experience" you have when you get your mail from Verizon.   Are you using the Yahoo! portal experience perhaps?
If so, the iPhone has a Yahoo! account profile which appears to work.   You use your full @verizon.net email address as the logon userid and your email password for Verizon.
Standard POP also works ...

Some of these settings are obviously personal preference, but there should be enough here for you to piece toogether what you need to get up and running.

HT201210 ive tried all of this many times now and it went through a restore once but my iPod still said i needed to hook up to iTunes (you know the screen showing a power cord and the iTunes icon) ive tried and tried but still can't get it PLEASE HELP ASA

I've have done all of the tips Apple has suggested and have tried many times to restore it but it still won't work. IThe first time it went through the whole process and it seemed like it worked but it still showed the Screen that has a iPod power cord that has an arrow pointing to the iTunes thumbnail. And now i thought well maybe it is restored i just need to sync it to Itunes but no my computer said that i encountered a problem my iPod and that i need to restore it so I tried. And at the end of the first step, the Verifying Software step, it said that the device "iPod" could not be found, so Itried it again and again but it still came up with the same results so I'm screwed so if you can could you please help me i really need after a disabled iPod for about 2 to 3 months now. So if you could please help i would appreciate it alot. THANK YOU.

- Reboot the computer, try another USB port and try anohter cable.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.

Macbook will not connect to any form of internet PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

Can someone help me. I have no idea what to do. I recently bought an Apple Mac Book 1.83Ghz. It was slightly used. It will not connect to the internet, at all. It will connect to my wireless network, and have full signal strength. But when I open safari, or any program requiring internet, it says there is no connection. I have hooked the computer stright up to my cable modem, and it still said no connection. Look I really, really need help. I don't know what to do, and I need to use this laptop asap! Please, if you see this try to help me. It will not connect at all. Please, please help.

Yes, I did. I have a linksys wireless G rougher, and an optimum online cable modem. The cable modem is hooked upto the roughter. I plugger a cord into the roughter, to the computer and that didnt work. I plugged the laptop stright into the cable modem. The modem says there is activity, but it still wont connect. What is important is the wireless. It says that it is connected to my network, but will not go on the internet. I tired setting it up with the progam installed, but when it asks for my network and password, it says that it is inaccurate. I really really need this to work as soon as I can. If you could help me in any way, please do so.
Thank you so much.

Safari wont open after downloading 'genieo', its taken over homepage on internet and only opens for 1 second before closing rapidly. deleted it but still cant open internet. please HELP!

safari wont open since downloading 'genieo' stupidly, well by accident i just looked what it is up..... as needed to crop song quickly and must have been on that page/..., i moved it to trash and removed it everywhere i could see it but its still taken over safari and so web page closes after 1 second of opening so i cant use it. There are removal instructions etc online but i cant get online to do them! how can i sort this out if i cant use the internet and change my homepage etc? Will people at Apple store be able to do this for me?

There are some instructions that take time with some attention to detail to attempt and also remove all parts of the genieo and other adware malware bad content that come with visiting or downloading a variety of web sites which may spread their ilk to those who unknowingly or unwittingly get downloads or install content that has been doctored with some untoward idea in mind. Some of the posers do this to disrupt or sell more dysfunctional cures to their created mischief. The cure (incl their uninstaller) may be as bad as the problem.
•The Safe Mac - Tech Guides: Note 'adware removal & others' here
http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
Genieo is a specific issue and has a section in there.
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=genieo&submit=Search
For general adware, a script (beta, if you try luck)
is available but it may not touch genieo...
•Adware Removal Tool (applescript)
http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
The browser issue is covered under one of the topic areas, as that may also include a re-direct device where an extra button or home page to junk keeps loading. Incorrect removal of the badware may cause Safari to fail. However, you can get use a different browser to get information such as visit the above site, or here, etc.
I do not know if the techs or genius at Apple Store would be able to remove the problem. One way it to erase everything on the computer, and start all over, and lose all your stuff. You should have a backup of your created content on a drive external to your computer, in addition to TimeMachine backups, for restoration purposes; this done before an issue strikes. The methods of removal are covered in the linked pages above.
Another way, as suggested in detail by Linc Davis, can be followed and perhaps resolve the issue, too; at some point this topic thread will be seen by more than a few people. This is not a new topic here.
Good luck & happy computing!

Ipod Connected but not detected !!please help!!!

Hello! so ive come to my last resort in order to figure this problem out. The basic problem is that itunes does not recognize my 5th generation ipod. Ok here are the details:
-running windows XP professional with all security updates(i.e service pack 3)
-tried the 5 R's
-If another ipod is connected to my computer it works perfectly
-everything is up to date
-Cord is in working conditions
-when my ipod is connected to other computers it works
-I just recently re-installed Windows XP completley(new partition and everything)
-USB hubs work fine due to other ipods working fine on my computer when connected
-I have formatted my ipod, uninstalled everything that has to do with Apple and quicktime, from temporary files to program files etc.. then i re installed everything and nothing works
-Ipod shows up in my computer and i am able to go into it but it will not pop up in itunes.
-when the ipod is plugged in and itunes is up it is frozen for a while until the ipod is unplugged then everything returns to normal.
i think thats all the details i can think of at the momment.
please help!, ive tried almost everything i can think of and read, but maybe i missed something.

Still sounds like a USB problem to me. Have you tried the usb ports on the BACK of the computer?
