Airport Connects to WAP Network but not to internet

I have been using the same network and Airport Extreme Base station for about as long as I've had my computer (coming close to three years). It's never had an extended problem with it. Last week or so, it stopped allowing me to connect to the internet. Both the cable modem and base station are working properly to my knowledge and I have not changed any of the settings. I am able to connect to the base station and it tells me that I am connected through my network to the internet (through ethernet). However, when I click on the internet (any application) it just takes forever to load, whereas if I join a different, unsecured network, the internet works just fine.
Not sure if this is related but I also am having trouble with wired internet connections. I bring my computer to school and plug it into the school connection in my lab and the internet works, but the "built-in ethernet" does not seem to be present at all times and at others it does not detect the network.
I am not very good with setting up IP addresses and the like so I was unable to use the troubleshooting page to help me with this problem. However, I am competent in fixing other kinds of issues, so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear.
G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Same issues, worked fine for a year, no sudden changes etc. No no internet IP assigned, strange thing is that the WAN spits out a connection to my VOIP phone.
What gives?

  • WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • My PC is connected to my airport by Ethernet. I can connect to the network, but not the internet. My wireless devices can access the internet

    My PC is connected to AirPort Extreme by ethernet, I can access the network, but not the internet. The wireless devices on the extreme can access the internet

    Hey DM,
    Is the Wireless(WL) router signal coming through the wired-router?
    My ISP requires that my Wireless Router is identified from their end. I use AirPort Express, so they need its MAC address from the router. Without that, my network will show up, but my ISP doesn't recognize it and won't allow it to route he internet. I don't know your exact situation though.
    Can other wireless computers access the internet? If they can through the WL router, then it might be the MacBook. If they can't, then you might want to contact your ISP and ask if they can see your wireless router?
    Let us know.

  • Can connect to wireless network but not to internet

    Ok, so I bought a new AEBS and have finally managed to get it set up with my cable modem, and with security on so that the light is green, and not amber... the only problem now is that although I can connect to the wireless network that i have created using the base station, I cannot connect to the internet through it using my MacBook.
    I don't have problem connecting my iMac to the net wirelessly using the base unit so am confused.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    It is described on Page 51 of "Designing AirPort Extreme 802.11n Networks" (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPortExtreme802.11nNetworks.pdf).

  • Laptop connects to the network, but not the internet

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satelite A135-S4666, and since I got it and got the router set up with the laptop, the internet on the laptop quits responding after about 30 min to 1 hr. of the laptop being on.
    I had a friend set up the modem manually using the 192.168.1.1 IP address, so I'm pretty sure that none of my settings are wrong.  I also have a desktop connected with hard lines to the router, and I never have a problem.
    At this point, I am really irritated because I can't ever use the laptop for more than a few minutes without having to keep re-booting.  I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a settings problem.  I've entertained the idea of backing up all my docs from the laptop and restoring it from the disc that was in the box when I bought it, but I wonder if that will even work.
    Has anyone out there experienced this problem, or know how I can fix it as painlessly as possible?

    I have a client with the same problem. I found a message in a forum on TechIMO saying the problem was Vista TCP/IP packets 'fall apart' while undergoing the firewall's SPI. I haven't found any mention of it on the Linksys website which makes me wonder if the guy knew what he was talking about, but it sounds possible.
    I'm certain it's something in the interaction between Vista & the WRT54G as the other computers on the network (all XP) work fine.

  • I can connect to my wireless network but not the internet

    Hi. I've had my iBook G4 for just about a year and it's worked fantastically... until recently. My roommate has a PC and a linksys wireless router, and I've always been able to connect wirelessly to the internet until last week. I came home from work one day, and my iBook "saw" our wireless network and could "see" other computers on the network, but could not access the internet. My roommate had no problem accessing the internet through the wi-fi on his Dell laptop. So I zapped my p-ram and fiddled with some settings, but I still had the same problem.
    Next I re-installed OS X, and tried again. Still the same issue. Of course, by this time I'm getting frustrated, but then about 12 hours later I decide to try it again and it just works! Like there was never any problem....
    So anyway, it worked like a dream for about a week and now I have the same exact problem again! It connects to the network but not the internet. Is this a known problem? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -joe.

    i was having the same issue with all my devices. everything would cut out and i would have to reboot my router...my internet service provider is ATT and i have a Uverse router. i went to their online support and i was able to chat with a tech support agent and they ended up changing the channel of my router and that has resolved my problem....i am currently steaming pics from my iphoto library to my apple tv and my wife is streaming music from her iphone at the same time...support tech stated that usually they have the router set to a generic channel that usually has a lot of traffic.

  • Airport Express I can connect to my wireless network but not the internet.

    The computer I set up my Airport express on works fine. But my other laptop in my house connects to the network but not internet. Why is this?

  • HT1595 Why is my Apple TV able to connect to the wireless but not the Internet?

    I cannot connect to the Internet! It's so frustrating it says it can connect to the wireless but not the Internet I know I have a signal because I have my laptop and iPad connected and working fine but its just Apple TV that cannot connect! Also when I continued without Internet it wouldn't let me sign in with my apple id even though I know it was right is this because I wasn't connected to the Internet? Someone help me please

    It's in your router.  Google is your friend, using the make and model of your router and the key words "port forwarding".
    There are lots of guides, for example http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Port-Forwarding-on-a-Router
    The hardest part is figuring out where to go in your particular router's menu system to type in the IP address of your Apple TV

  • Can connect to network, but not to internet

    I have a wireless network set up with four macs connecting to it. Three of the macs can connect to the network and access the internet.
    My Black Macbook can connect to the network, but when I open Safari or any other program that connects to the internet I cannot actually get on the internet. For example, I open safari and after a few minutes it says I am not connected to the internet.
    I can connect to my neighbor's unprotected wireless network and have no problem getting on the internet with that connection.
    I have tried turning the computer off and on and turning the airport off and on and it does not solve anything. I did not do anything to the compueter, it just started this problem out of the blue.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Do you have IP address limits ? Say I have 5 IP
    addresses limit.
    That is not it. And, I did not change anything before it just stopped working. The strange thing it is only within my wireless network that I can't access the internet. I eventually get the "you are not connected to the internet" screen each time I try to bring up a web page.

  • New Macbook Pro Connects to Network but not to Internet

    I just got a new Macbook pro and I transferred everything from my old macbook pro from a timemachine backup. The internet works fine on my old macbook pro (running 10.5.8) but if I turn on the airport in my new macbook neither machine can connect to the internet. It also makes the internet stop working on my roommates pc. All machines can see the wireless network, just not the internet. Tethering from iPhone works fine.
    I've given both macbooks separate ip addresses. Restarted the modem. Run network diagnostics (the server and internet dots are yellow), deleted all other saved networks and restarted, but none of that is working. The new Macbook keeps crashing our internet connection.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You transferred your network PPC connection to your Intel OS X. Go to the blog How I fixed my dropping wireless Airport connection problem in Snow Leopard and follow there steps in resetting the preferences for the Airport card.
    If the non of these steps work, take it to Apple ASAP.

  • Airport Express works with Skype but not with internet

    Hi,
    I recently bought some new Airport Express' for my company. However, when plugging it in we seemingly get full access, but only Skype seems to work. If I do a search on the internet it can sometimes look like it find the address after a long while, but don't manage to open the page. E.g. writing www.google.com in the search field doesn't give access to that page.
    I brought them home to check if the Airports worked there, and they did. No problem. But at the office the Airports don't. If I connect the same plug which is connected to the Airport into the MAC / PC, then I have full connection to the internet.
    What to do?

    After Grant pointed out the DNS thing, I started to check that part, and I noticed something funny. I called Apple Support regarding the problem, and now it's solved
    Here is my experience:
    1. My Airports worked fine when home, but not at work.
    2. Checking the LAN DNS addresses I received three addresses. 2 in the 158.xx... range and one in the 129.xxx... range.
    3. The Airport Extreme and Airport Express does only support two DNS addresses, and since the two 158.xx... DNS addresses came first in that range the 129.xxx... was left out.
    4. I manually changed one of the 158.xx... addresses to the 129.xxx... address I got on my MAC / PC when I connected directly to the wall and did a "ipconfig /all" on the PC. The three same addresses is listed under network - airport on the MAC.
    5. Now suddenly it all worked. This due to that the two 158.xx... addresses seamed to be internal addresses, and the 129.xxx... address was from outside delivered from our operator.
    Summarized:
    When you receive 3 DNS addresses you MAC and PC can handle it fine, but your Airport not. Find all your DNS addresses and write them down. Enter Airport Admin Utility and do a manual setup. Change one of the two equal address to the third address. Most probably listed as the last DNS address when you are connected directly and type e.g. "ipconfig /all" on your PC or you enter the network settings.
    Best regards,
    Bouw

  • Connected to network but not the internet

    Hi all,
    Earlier today when I tried to get onto the web Safari wouldn't let me. It says I am not connected to the internet, although my airport has full bars. I was using the web this morning without any problems, this just suddenly happened. I have decided it is something to do with the computers wireless settings because I have it sitting right next to a Macbook Pro which connects wirelessly, as do 3 iPhones without any trouble, and I can use the internet when I have my Macbook plugged in via an ethernet cable.
    I have repaired disk permissions, restarted a few times and tried to create a new airport connection without any luck. Network Diagnostics just says i am 'unable to join airport network'.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
    Tom

  • Windows 8 can either launch vm in hyper-v or connect to wifi networks, but not both. Needs a reboot to switch mode. Any idea?

    Hello guys,
    New here for a problem I think is quite weird. Got the MBA 2013 i7
    When I boot Windows from OS X > Startup Disk > Boot Windows, I can launch a virtual machine in hyper-V, so that's cool, but I can't see an wifi networks available, so no internet.
    If I reboot to Windows directly from Windows (bootcamp options), I connect without pain to any wifi but I cannot launch a vm in Hyper-V anymore (the Windows Phone 8 emulator to be precise). It says hardward virtualization is not enabled in BIOS.
    Seems to me it loads either the wifi driver, either the VT-x. Any ideas?

    People I have some good news!!! The problem is in BootCamp!!!!!!
    I'm now able to run the Windows Phone emulator on a Windows 8.1 bootcamp!
    This is what you have to do.... for everytime you want to use the emulator you must follow this steps:
    - Shut computer completly off;
    - turn it on and hold the Alt key to boot in MAC OS;
    - go to settings, bootcamp and choose Windows, then click restart.
    On this session you will be able to run the emulator with no problems!!!! if you turn off your computer and boot automatically to windows the error will appear again!
    Hope I helped out some of you!!!

  • IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

    My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network  ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
    open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2  and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

    When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter?  If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking.  What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router.  And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters. 

  • MacBook automaticlly connects to wireless network, but not mine

    At home when I start my MacBook, it sometimes connects to the neighbors wireless network (not protected at all) rather than to ours. It does that all by itself, without me doing anything. Can I tell my computer to only connect to our network, or at least to as for a confirm if it wants to connect somewhere else?

    Hello Hans-Conrad Zur Loye. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Try the following:
    1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    o Restart, or log out then back in.
    3. Add Preferred Network(s)
    o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    o Restart or log out then back in.
