Airport connected to internet, but not working in Safari or Firefox?

I had an airport network in my last apt. We just moved, and I can't set it up in our new apt! Our internet connect def works, and I get a green light on the airport. It says: <Airport is connected to the network "xxx". You are connected to the Internet via Airport/>
But then both Safari and Firefox say "server not found"!
what am I doing wrong?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I have other info on the modem I'm trying to connect to.
It is of a sensitive nature so I don't want to post it here.
HELP PLEASE!
2WIRE Modem is having a problem connecting the browser. the modem says I'm connected but my browser can't surf.
I do have the network name as well as the encryption key.

Airport connected to internet but not putting out wireless

Hey there,
Have a G5 connected directly to an airport extreme that is connected to the internet just fine. Not the new generation airport extreme.
My POWERBOOK G4 is not showing a wireless signal at all and usually does. I checked the powerbooks system preferences, network, airport status and it says, "Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self assigned IP address and may not able to connect to the internet." The airport is connected to the airport because my G5 is directly connected through it.
This set up has worked before but I'm not sure when it stopped because I haven't been using my powerbook for some time.
Both computers are running OS 10.3.9 Both can connect to the internet directly through the airport. All the setting are set in the airport set up.
Anyone have any idea how to get this wireless set up back up and running ?
thanks,
tnixer

Okay, looking at the Airport Admin Utility.
INternet> configured manually (won't work automatic)
Network> Distribute IP address is checked.
And Share a single address is checked. Use 10.0.1.1 adressing is selected
IF I uncheck "Distribute IP address" then Airport can't connect to the internet.
I can't get Share A Range of IP address to even take the number I type in.
The thing of all this is it used to work.
One thing that happened is I tried a different internet provider, didn't like, changed back to my usual service. Maybe that is when this started because like I said I haven't tried using my powerbook for a while so I'm not sure.
In any case it seems like its just a matter of settings since this set up has worked for years.
Maybe sharing my settings with give some clues ?
thanks,
tnixer

Connected to internet but not working

saying its connected but says cant activate (3000) help please

There is a heavy demand on the update servers right now doe to a high demand for the new OS patch. You could try later.
It could also be your wifi.
You can try a friend's wifi or a free hotspot to see if you get better response at setup at least. A friend of mine uses the cafe hotspot under his office floor!
If you have a UK Virgin router you may have to change the wireless encryption method to WPA or WPA2 with a new passphrase, and I believe it's not easy to get into the setup menu on those. Been reported before. Go to 192.168.0.1 on your main computer's web browser and see if you can get in. or try 192.168.1.1.
If that fails open a command prompt in Windows (Start > Run type CMD). In the command prompt window type IPCONFIG and hit enter. The Default Gateway is your router IP.
The admin password if it has one may be on the router's label.

Hi i use the hp lap in connecting for internet but not open the bro

hi
i have some problam in my laptop in connecting for internet but not open for broswer and not update for software tell the solution

Hi @jerry3 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not getting to the Internet. First try just to reset the router. Unplug from the power wait a few moments and plug back in.
Can get to safe mode with command prompt? F11 upon startup choose safe mode with Networking.
Can you get to the Internet in safe mode?
Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Airport express connects to internet, but not print server

hello all. i hope someone can help me with this. 2 days ago, my wife was able to print using her ibook/airport expess setup. today, the network diagnostics has this message: "network diagnostics was able to connect to the internet but not to the server EPSON Stylus CX3800.pdldatastream.tcp.local. this could be caused by problems with the server, or an internet problem between this computer and the server." she says this happened when she turned it on. what could be causing this? any and all help welcome. mcrat

You can reset the AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ.
Then you can use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the AX.

IPad shows airport connected to Internet but no connection to internet on my MacBook

I have an airport express connected to my tp link modem, my iPad mini connects to the net, airport utility shows a connection between the airport and the internet, but on my mac book air the utility shows no connection between the airport and internet

Alright, so I called Apple and fixed it, so for anyone else with this problem here's what I had to do.
I unplugged everything from the Airport and the Airport itself from the wall, held down the grey reset button on the bottom of it, while holding it down plugged it back into the wall and held the button till the light flashed green 3 times then went to orange and went back and opened Airport Utility and had to put in all my information again, holding down the button put it back to it's default settings.

Connects to internet but not local network

My AX worked fine for the past year. While traveling I disconnected the AX and set the wireless mode in Airport Admin Utility to 'Wireless disabled' and then connected an iMac by ethernet wire for our housesitter. All worked well. On my return I plugged in the AX and reset the Wireless Mode to 'Create a Wireless Network (home router)'. All appeared to work well for the past week. Until today.... when I tried to print wirelessly to a printer connected to my server in the office outside our home. The MacBook Pro was unable to find the printer or the server. It was formerly able to this with no problem.
The MacBook Pro can connect to the internet by the AX but not to my local network.
When I choose 'connect to server' from the Go menu I'm unable to locate the server. I determined that if I enter the local address in the 'server address' window I am able to connect but remain unable to print. My former protocol was to choose the 'browse' button and choose from a list of possible computers (their are a number of Macs possibly on the network).
If I take the MacBook Pro across the driveway to the office and plug into my network the computer finds the server and the printer with no problem.
I've done a hard-reset twice - to no avail. And attempted a factory default re-set 3x but don't believe it worked since the green light didn't flash 4x as expected - it came on briefly and then turned amber while it re-started, but when I used Airport Set up Assistant all my former settings were there and the same password I had entered so I don't believe it reset to factory defaults.
Yow!
I'll really appreciate any assistance.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sure linksys will take care of bug(if any) you mentioned.

AE ppoe mode in AE only allows macbook pro and iMac to connect to internet but not ipad

I just upgraded to 20MB DSL line and got a new Qwest Q1000 modem connected to an A Extreme.
Since Qwest now has PPPoE, I set the Q1000 modem to bridge mode and turned off Wifi.
Then I Set the AEx router to ppoe mode, entered my username and password from Qwest and all is well with all lights green.
But... only my imac and macbook pro connect to the internet. My ipad, my wife's macbook and an ipod touch cannot connect.
According the Airport Utility, all these devices are detected by the wifi network and they have their own unique IPs provided by the AEx router (in pppoe mode) 10.0.1.7, 10.0.1.9 and so forth, no ip conflicts detected, all the lights green with full access to the internet. Again, only my iMac and my macbook pro actually connect to the internet at full speed.
Does any one know why some devices connect to the internet while others are not able to...
Again, no errors detected anywhere, all modem and router lights green.
Any help is welcomed.
Janickk

Thanks for the reply. Your suggestion did not work. Apparently there is an issue with DNS addresses.
The Airport Extreme in pppoe mode sets the router and DNS addresses to be the same 10.0.1.1. Some devices (like my macbook pro and iMac) ignore this DNS value or use a different (unknown) and then they connect to the internet perfectly. But the devices (ipads and ipods) aquire and set both values (Router and DNS) to be the same, (10.0.1.1 and 10,0.1.1) wont connect to the internet until I manually changed the DNS address in the DNS field.
Question: are these two values supposed to be the same/different/ in both fields in the AExt in pppoe mode?
Thanks

IMac Connects to Internet, but not File Server

Got one iMac (Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.5.8) that has a network issue. It can always connect to the internet, but sometimes it stops seeing a file server on the network (Tiger server). The server connection will drop out on this computer, but not on any of the other computers on the network. Things I've tried that don't work:
- restarting computer
- re-seating ethernet cable
- trying new ethernet cable
- zapping PRAM on computer
The connection to the server just comes and goes randomly, but only on this computer. Suggestions? Thanks!

Same here with an iMac 27" connecting to a windows server.

PC can connect to internet but not time capsule

We are having no trouble getting onto our internet or accessing the time capsule with our Mac. However, the PC we have can get onto the internet, but is unable to access the time capsule. We need to be able to backup information from both of our computers.
Please help us!

Did you install the Airport utility onto windows? If not do so.. it should include bonjour which helps greatly. Make sure it does.
TC and wireless names may prevent access to resources.. are your names Apple style with that wonderful apostrophe.. illegal in the windows world?? Spaces in names also not legal.
Change all names to SMB type.. short .. no spaces.. straight alphanumeric.
Do you have permissions issues.. ??
Have you opened file sharing and turned on the guest account.. read and write access.
Do you have the right workgroup..?
Please put in WORKGROUP.. assuming that is the workgroup.
If you still have issues.. are you using homegroup in windows.. well stop it.
If you still have issues .. are you connecting correctly using proper URL in windows explorer, ie \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing with actual name or actual IP)
If you still have issues.. ping the TC by name and IP and turn off all firewalls.
Do each in turn.. even step 1 might be enough.

The only app they can use is Skype, everything else does not work, not safari emails, app , nothing, it is conected to internet, it has strong signal but when they try to use safari or emails or other apps it says is not conected to internet. we use Skype webcam without a problem, but thats it. We have tried everything, connect and disconnect, reset it twice, but nothing . please help!

Mac Pro will connect to internet but not network with other systems

I have an iMac in my studio reception and a Mac pro and Macbook in my office. All three systems can connect to the internet but the Mac Pro has stopped networking with the iMac. However the iMac can network with the Pro. I have an ethernet cable connection to the Pro (no wi fi card) and I have a wireless router on the iMac which has enabled me to connect the Pro to other systems through wi fi. I also have a PC laptop and the Pro can connect to it via wi fi. Everything was networking properly several weeks ago and as far as I am aware I have not changed any settings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this annoying little problem.

Ipad2 error -1202, connection to internet but not to App Store

I'm having trouble connecting my Ipad2 to the appstore. Everything was working fine untill a couple of hours ago. The appstore, facebook, Youtube, and some other apps are not working due to troubles connecting to the internet. However, I have wi-fi and I can use safari on my Ipad, no problems there.
Does anyone know what to do??? I've already reset and reboothed my router, reboothed my Ipad, reset settings, etc, etc. Nothing works!
My software is up to date and I am using iOS 6.0.1

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "Awesome Screenshot" then remove it. No my Internet is not working, my Safari simply hangs

I downloaded from Safari Extension Gallery "awesome Screenshot" couple of days ago and then decided to remove it from the system . Since then the awesome icon does not appear But my Safari is suffering as it is not loading the pages.Please help

Try removing any other extensions and plugins and if that works introduce them one at a time, you may find it is one of those causing the problem.
If that does not work create a new post, this one being closed will gather less interest and someone who as an answer could miss it.
