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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

AirPort Express won't connect to existing wireless network

I just purchased the current gen AirPort Express and it won't connect to my existing wireless network. My current wireless network is on a D-Link DIR-827 and it operates on both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands. My current gen Apple TV is connected to the D-Link wirelessly and it works fine. Basically all I want to do is have a pair of speakers attached to the AIrPort Express and stream music to it via AirPlay from all my devices. When I use the AirPort Utility, I keep getting the error that 'it's setup to join an existing wireless network but it can't find it.' The light flashes amber and I can't connect to it. Right now I've setup a new wireless network for my AirPort Express but ideally I would like to have it join my existing network so all my devices can stream to it without having to connect to it seperately.
Thanks,
Ata

Hi Ata,
...Right now I've setup a new wireless network for my AirPort Express but ideally I would like to have it join my existing network
If you already configured your AirPort to create a separate wireless network, it would be best to reconfigure it to "join" your existing network by starting over with a "hard reset": Press and hold the reset button and keep it depressed, continuously, about five to ten seconds, long enough for it to flash amber. Then, it will glow amber steadily for about a minute while it starts up, then it will flash amber slowly indicating it needs to be configured.
It will then appear in your Mac's Wi-Fi menu like this:
Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
Be sure to select the option to "join" your existing network, and not create a new one. In that configuration, it will serve as a device for music streaming only, and cannot serve a wireless access point. For that, your router would need to be a genuine Apple AirPort Base Station.

Can connect to protected wireless network, but no speed or connectivity?

I saw other people had this issue as well, but I want to make sure my issue isn't a different subject (sometimes I get lost in the technical jargon). Anyway, since I updated my MBP I have been able to connect to my wireless network (password protected) fine, and it shows I have great signal strength; however, when I attempt to use the internet, only the first pages loads really, after that pages are extremely slow to load (30 seconds, etc), time out, or simple can't connect. I don't know what to do. I can connect to the other open wireless networks. I know it is not the router or my wireless card. Any suggestions?

Check you have specified Primary and Secondary DNS servers in System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS ?

I have a Mac OS X 10.6.7 and Firefox 4. Other browser are easily connecting to the net but Firefox. It keep trying to connect to my wireless network but not doing the job. Please give some advice..

This happens when I first start the computer. Sometimes it connects to the wireless network, and during the day is fine.

Manual then instructs to run runInstaller command. This command however is not being recognized by the system (' No such file or directory' error is thrown) which to my opinion means one of two things: either command is misspelled in the manual or the command file that runs it is missing. I tried it with or without a dot and slash and in small case letters, nothing works.
When I installed similar libraries on Linux I had no problems but all was required there was to place libraries in the proper directory, no command was required.
Maybe same can be done here as well but I am not sure where to place some of the files. I see .h files that should go to /usr/include but see no .so files that on Linux go to /usr/lib. There are some files with .dylib and other .*lib extensions but I'm not sure if they should be copied to /usr/lib or not. And then there are some other files I have no idea what to do with.
Please help!!!No, you can't just drop a few files into a directory and have a working installation (well, I guess technically you could. But technically you could bail all the water out of Lake Superior with a teacup ...)
Sounds like you've covered PATH and current directory issues. What about permissions? What OS account are you using for this installation? (you should have created an account called "oracle" and made it's primary group "dba"). Does that account have execute permissions?

Thanks in advance!

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).

Windows 2000 laptop can connect to unsecured Apple network, but not w/WEP

I have a PC laptop running Windows 2000 with a Linksys WPC54GS wireless network adapter. I am running two Apple Expresses as one network. This is a healthy network and most everything I need to do works.
However, I can't connect to this network unless I turn off security entirely. Well, to be exact, I know it doesn't work (yet) with 128-bit WEP, and I haven't tried the 40-bit WEP (and don't especially want to). I tried switching to a 13-character password and getting the hex equivalent of it for use as the password on the laptop, but still no joy. The Linksys application on the PC lets you generate 4 different keys from a text password. I tried that too and tried all 4 different keys, and that doesn't work either.
Any ideas?

One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Only Windows XP has native support for wireless networking.
Other versions of Windows do not have native support for wireless networking.
What this means is that, unlike Windows XP, you can not plug in a wireless adapter and expect Windows to recognise it and start working.
You will need to install some kind of software configuration utility that came with the adapter. Each manufacturer has their own software so as a result the process of using these utilities to connect a Windows (non-XP) computer to an Airport wireless network will be different and so no generic guide is available.
Having said that you may find the following information on things to watch for useful.

Can connect to database on network but not through VPN

oracle 10g/11g

Hi,
When I'm on the office network I can sqlplus and remote desktop to to database server, but on the VPN I can't connect with sqlplus or remote desktop, but I can tnsping.
How can this be??

Hi Guys,
Hope some of you are still following this thread.
Spoke to the network guys and they are at a loss. They say that port 1521 is allowed through the vpn and firewall.
When I try to connect over the new JUNOS PULSE SVPN, I see in the listener log file that it established connection, but I think it can't see the client after it is allocated the temp listener port?
Any suggestions please?

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

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 am connecting to my wireless network but not able to use internet. Used to work fine on this computer. Still works fine with iPhone and older iMac.

When I connect (I have it set for Auto DHCP) the IP address that I get is a "bad" address - first 3 digits are 169. There is no router IP address on summary page. Any ideas?

169.***.***.** is a self-assigned IP address. The system does this when it cannot obtain a functioning IP address from the DHCP server. There can be myriad reasons, but the following Apple help page shows the way out.

I just secured my WiFi with a WEP password. I can connect my MacBookAir and iPhone, but not the MacBook Pro (MBP using Lion-MBA Mountain Lion, iPhone iOS6

Using a DLinkVWR (Vonage enabled) router, I just secured the home WiFi with a WEP password. No problem in establishing a WiFi connection on my MacBook Air (OS Mountain Lion 10.8.2) or with my iPhone using iOS6. They both accepted the password and connected directly.
Not so with my wife's MacBook Pro, using the latest version of Lion, 10.7.5. It can find the WiFi, but upon attempting to connect, the alert is shown that there is no internet connection. This is unique to this MacBook Pro. The drop down menu shows the router checked and 4 bars, but the Alert remains: No Internet Connection.
What am I doing wrong? This MacBook Pro connected without problem before I secured the router.

WEP as a security measure is laughable nowadays. Even a kindergarten kid with a netbook can crack the password in a few minutes. Try using WPA2 if available on the device. And the Macs will be quite happy connecting with that protocol.

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