Connected to network, but no internet connection

Just returned from a one week trip to CA with my macBook. Prior to the trip everything regarding a connection to the internet worked fine... I have an Airport Extreme network set up at home. For the first five days of my trip, everything worked fine as well. Connected to several different open networks (offered by hotels and Bed & Breakfasts (B&Bs). Then suddenly I could not get an internet connection with any browser (Safari, Firefox, Flock). At one particular B&B it worked flawlessly one evening, then the next morning at the same B&B, no internet. Yet I was connected OK to the open network. Moved on to another city, a different hotel and network, same problem. I was connected to the network, but no internet connection. In Safari, the blue bar would get as far as the http:, then it would hang there. Now having returned home to my Airport Extreme network, everything seems to be working fine again in all browsers. Any idea what I may have encountered for those two days? I have another trip planned in the near future, and would hate to have this happen again.

I'm sorry but I'm not posting to answer your problem but just to say that I have a very similar issue when connected to my home network through either wireless or ethernet- connection is erratic and pages hang despite showing an excellent signal strength. I have a divided drive and have windows installed on my Macbook. I have no problems on the windows side. My friends who have ipods and iphones have similar problems connecting to my home network. I have no problems connecting wirelessly to any other network that I've tried. This is a real shame as I want to use Mac software but end up in Windows all the time. Any light anyone can shed on this would be very welcome.

Can connect to network but not internet

In trying to secure my wireless network, I connect to my network, but I am unable to get to the internet with the wireless security enabled. I have no problems connecting over the wireless when I disable the security.
I have a linksys broadband router.
I use a Mac book with intel chip that I am trying to connect wirelessly. I also have an older imac that is connected directly to the router that I was trying to share files.
I was trying to setup WEP- I know very little about network protection. I have had a router for a couple of years and when I was trying to set it up so I could share iles I realized it was not protected. At the linksys website I had several options, but experienced the same problem (I had a strong network connection, but unable to connect to the internet) no matter which encryption option I chose.
The error meeaage says that is unable to connect
Thanks

Hi.
I assume that you have a linksys router plugged into an airport express.
First off, seeing as you have a macbook you should use WPA2 instead of WEP as it is more secure. You can select this option in the airport admin utility on the main page. Make up a password enter it and click apply. The express will update. Then, when you select your network from the airport icon on the top of your screen it will prompt you to choose the type of security on the network (which will be WPA2 and after selecting this it will then propmt you to enter the password. Enter the password again (checking the keychain box as well) and this should be it.

Iphone 4 is connected to network, but no internet.

So I'm surfing last night when suddenly, the airport utility pops up and tells me I should change a setting to "bridge" mode. I change the setting as recommended and then have problems with my airport extreme and airport express connecting to the internet. I eventually had to manually enter the router IP address.
Now, my iPhone will not use the wifi signal. It appears to be connected to the wifi network but only works in 3g mode. I've reset the network settings and tried to manually enter the airport extreme IP address and it's still not work.
Would appreciate any help. Also, is there a support document available that explains how to set up a wireless network with an airport extreme?
Thanks,
Mick

I am having the same problem. My iPhone 4 connects to the airport extreme base station and shows a full wifi signal, but has no other functionality, Internet or Remote is not working. Another iPhone or laptop have no problem connecting to the same base station. All the settings in my iPhone seem o.k.
I noted that the DHCP assigned IP address ends with 10.0.0.216 where the other devices IP addresses end in the single digits.
Thanks for you help.

Can connect to network but not internet. Please Help!!!!!!!!!

I have a Thinkpad T-60p and have encountered a serious problem; I am unable to connect to the internet. The Thinkpad will recognize and connect to wireless networks but when I go to actually open a webpage it does not open. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem to no avail. My other laptop connects to the internet fine, so I do not think it is an issue with my router or modem. I also went to my neighbors and I was unable to connect to the internet even though I could connect to his network; once again my second computer does not have a problem. I tried what I could in the Thinkvantage wireless software but I am not that familiar with it. When I use the test connection option it just reads, “unable to connect to internet” but I have a strong signal to my network. I then tried a wired connection directly to my cable modem and my neighbors; once again it showed that I have a connection, but still will not connect to the internet. I tried disabling my Firewall and Virus software and still could not connect. I have shutdown, unplugged and reset everything. I still receive the same results. I am not sure what has happened, I have not installed any new software or hardware recently. The computer has been working great up until this morning. I ran my virus software and a free online scan as well, nothing had been detected. I called tech support and they said it was a software issue to either pay $100 for help or post in the forum. The only other option I can think of is a complete systems restore, which I am trying to avoid. Anyone have any suggestions?
Please Help,
P.

I will try that when I get home from work, thank you for the advice. However,I did notice that when it attempts to connect it shows the IP Address in the IE window bottom left corner. In the past it would always read connecting to "website name" but since the problem started it shows the IP address instead of the actual name.

WRTG54S Connect to network but not internet

I have a WRTG54S and Mediacom 12mbps. My router worked fine on my old laptop (a Dell running Vista) It sat in a box for about 6 months and now that I have a new one (Sony running 7) I can connect to my network but not the internet. I have upgraded the firmware from 7.6 to 7.8 with no change. I have tried no security, wep, and wap with no change. I also cloned the MAC, again no change. Windows cannot detect any problems and when I try to enable the router to connect to the internet it always says connection failed. I can connect when directly wired to the modem but not when wired to the router or wirelessly. Any ideas? Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wire your computer directly to your modem, open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all". Post the full output. That will show what kind of modem you have and what the best configuration for your WRT should be.

HELP! Airport connects to network but still cannot get online

I have a g3 crt 400mhz running OSX 10.3.9. I added an airport card. It sees networks and connects to mine but when I load Safari or Firefox it errors out saying cannot find server. My main PC can see the mac so I'm not sure what I'm what else to check. do I need to delete .plist files. Can anyone help resolve this issue?
Thanks

Seems like you are not getting the DNS address or addresses.
apple > system preferences > network
Double click on network connection you are using.
Pick the TCP/IP tab.
Verify that you have a DNS Server. If you do not, look on your windows machine and see what the net address is. You can also pick using DHCF and still enter you DNS server address.
You can use harddrive > applications > utilities > network utility to diagnose the situation.
You can ping google.com. Result:

If pinging 17.254.3.183 works but pinging apple.com doesn't. You have a bad DNS Server address.
BDAqua suggests in a post.
Put these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for a try...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then try Safari.
not correct...

Airport connected to modem but no internet.

So I have the Airport connected to my cable modem but the Airport just blinks orange the whole time and the activity light isn't moving at all on the modem and I can't get online.
I've tried unplugging the modem and Airport then like 15 minutes later I plug the modem in then 15 minutes later I plug the Airport in, but it doesn't seem to be working, any thoughts?

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.

Airport will connect to network but not internet

Hi,
My MacBook air started out working beautifully on my wireless network-high download speeds, solid connection, etc... After about six hours of operation however, it has stopped being able to find the internet consistently, no matter what wireless network I try. I use a NetGear wireless hub in my room, and my laptop is able to consistently find and connect to the network (the hub is only about 3 feet away) but it cannot connect to the internet. Under network settings I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" or "Airport cannot connect to the internet." I know that the internet is working, because the network works fine for my MB Pro, iPhone, TiVo, and xBox 360. In fact, the MBA is occassionally able to find the internet and get an IP address. Sometimes this IP address allows me to load web pages extremely slow and sometimes I cannot even find google. The problem extends beyond my one network, however, as I have difficulty connecting to other wireless networks. I am on a college campus and sometimes can connect to the campus WiFi, but it again frequently connects without being able to figure out an IP address. Some help would be great.

I have a similar issue. Mine does the same thing, but only if in a specific area. If I'm sitting on my recliner with the Air on my lap, then it will connect, but I can't get to any sites. The browser just stalls.
If I move to the table that's 3 feet away from me, then the internet connects without any problems.
It could be a reception issue with me, or something. I don't know. At first it connected at very high speeds. That was before 10.5.2.
I don't know if the Leopard Update has anything to do with it, since my iMac doesn't have this problem at all. And that has an N card also.
I hope Apple is looking into this wireless issues.

Connected to network but not internet :(

I posted in the airport forum but to no avail, hopefuly some of you guys can help, here's my original post:
I'm in a holiday lodge, which has a wireless network. I'm friends with the owner so I can fiddle with the modem/router, however as I type this i'm on a friends dell laptop, connected wireless with no problems.
It's a BT ADSL network, not sure exactly what type of wireless modem but I assume the problem to do with some sort of settings or something.
At home I can "borrow" the neighbour's internet just fine.
This BT network I am trying to get into uses a WEP password which I know and have successfuly used.
I select the network, stick the password in and it connects to the network, showing full signal strength but It doesn't allow me to connect to the internet, doesnt allow me to get on any websites...nada
help please, I'm only here for a week but I need to check my emails atleast once.
Thankyou for any help in advance."
I'v also booted up xp on my MBP and it cant connect either, on xp diagnostics it gets stuck when trying to renew the IP address, on Mac OS it gets stuk at the network settings stage.
oh and I am on the 10.4.10 update, MBP is a C2D bought in febuary this year
help pleeeese

Macbook connected to network but no internet

Hello,
I am having a very strange and concerning internet issue with the Macbook in my household. It can't access the internet even when connected to a wireless network. I know this is not a network issue because a Macbook pro, iphone, and ipod touch all connect to my network at home and can access the internet just fine. Also, the Macbook was unable to access the internet when connected to the school network while my iphone and other computers could.
The problem started suddenly last Monday. Prior to that the internet had been working both at home and at school. It appears to be connect to the network because there are full airport bars and a check mark next to the network (in both locations) but it can't find the airport in the Airport Utility (while at home since the school doesn't use airport). Additionally, it wouldn't connect to the internet directly through the ethernet port either when I plugged it directly into the cable modem.
In the System preferences it has a Self Assigned IP. The preferences are the same as they were when it was working and nothing looks wrong. On Thursday I tried the fix someone posted on this forum of deleting the network from the preferred networks and then adding it again and it worked at home for a day but it still wouldn't work at school and yesterday it stopped working again at home. When I tried to the fix again it didn't work. Also, I've tried repairing permissions twice and that hasn't done any good either. Additionally, it happens under both users on the computer and the test user I created.
Any help would be appreciated.

Windows 7: Connected to network but no internet access???

This is my first post and I have been dealing with quite an annoying problem. I used bootcamp to install windows 7 64bit on my laptop. From the beginning I could connect to my network (Wifi) but it said "no internet access." It was like this for a while until I powered on one day, fiddled with some settings (dont remember what I did) and all of a sudden the internet worked like a charm (my fiddling probably did not make it work). Sadly three days later the internet stopped working again and I did not touch any settings! I am still connected to the network. I updated to bootcamp 3.1 with no luck. I have no idea what is wrong especially since internet works perfectly on OSX. Any suggestions???

I'm sorry but I'm not posting to answer your problem but just to say that I have a very similar issue when connected to my home network through either wireless or ethernet- connection is erratic and pages hang despite showing an excellent signal strength.

Connect to network, but not internet

I have an iMac with 10.5.5 and a linksys wrt wireless router.
My connection status is "connected" but I can not access internet. It is a cable ISP.
I have tried changing config of router. I have also reset it to factory default.
I have tried setting up a new connection using "Assist me" and tried the "Diagnose"
But no luck yet. The only thing I have not tried is manually resetting router.
Monday (tomorrow) I will be trying again.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks

Once your mac appears to be connected to your network
try pinging an ip address of a website
open your terminal and issue the following command
ping -c10 212.58.224.138
press enter and wait for a response.
then try
ping -c10 bbc.co.uk
press enter.
if you get a response when pinging the IP address but no response to the domain name it shows that you have an internet connection but a dns issue.

Macbook pro connected to network but no internet connection

Hey all,
i have a Macbook pro, running on OS X 10.6.8,
i made a software update, where a java update was made, an HP printer update, a Itunes ipdate and a Macbook Pro SMC firmware update 1.6.
Since then, i cant connect to the internet.
I ran network diagnostics and it says "your connection appears to be working correctly".
Same if i plug in the Lan-cable to my laptop.
Network diagnostics says that my internet is running correctly, but no browser or any other program can connect to the internet.
tried it at 2 different location (home and work) and nothing works. Other laptops have internet connection through the same router and wifi.
restarted router and wifi, did not help
restarted wifiAirport multiple times, wont help,
restarted Laptop multiple times, wont help.
renewed DHCP, and IP adress, i get a new ip adress, and it says im connected but it wont work.
any other ideas?

That doesn't mean anything. You can't telnet to google. lol
The ping you did above shows you that Internet access and DNS is working fine. If it wasn't, you wouldn't be able to get replies. This means that the problem is with your browser. Open up Safari and hit Safari/Reset Safari under it's menu. See if that works to solve your issue. If it doesn't, then it's a plugin or something else (maybe Proxy changes, etc.) which could be causing this. One option you have to test is if the reset doesn't fix it, install another browser (you'll need to download the dmg via another PC and install it on the mac from a memory stick or something) and see if a 3rd party browser works.
