Airport/Internet works fine - AOL/AIM/YAHOO Messenger Don't Connect

Hi All -
I just bought the Imac with the Intel 2 Processor. Everything works fine but the chat function and AOL. I have a Motorola SBG900 wireless cable modem, and Airtport Express. I get the same problem regardless of whether I use the Airport Express. I try to log on and it looks for the connection, then times saying it can't find connection, etc. The regular internet works fine, always has. I tried reloading AOL for MAC and that didn't work.
Any Suggestions?

Hi Chicago67,
The Motorola you have is configurable. It will need the pors open.
The How http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Motorola/SBG900/iChat.htm
The ports at iChat 10 are wrong (the rest are OK)
iChat 10 should read port 5678 in both and a new iChat 11 should be port 16384 to 16403 (They seem to have mistakenly added both lines into one)
From the Pics that are shown I can not tell if this device has UPnP.
IF you are doing this Port Forwarding and continue to Use DHCP the IP you point the ports to may not always be your computer if the DHCP leases get renewed.
Setting up Static routing is best if using Port Forwarding.
This means truning Off DHCP in the Motorola and chnging the seting on the Mac in System Preferences > Network > Airport > TCP/IP tab the Manually.
The info that was shown for Using DHCP is best typed in in the Manually text fields that become Active.
(The IP has to be in the range of the Modem)
Subnet mask should be the samne as it was.
The DNS servers should also be typed in.
The "router" IP is the same as it was which in fact is the Modem's IP

WRT45GC - Not connecting to NTL Broadband, but internet works fine minus the router

I seem to have a problem try to get my WRT45GC to work as an accesspoint for my NTL connection. If the modem is plugged directly into my PC via ethernet cable, internet works fine. But if I plug my WRT45GC into the modem then have a direct connection to my pc from the router, i only get limited or no connectivity.
Also once this has been set up my laptop can pick up the wireless network but once again no internet.
I have been told different things by different people ie, the modem and router may have the same IP address, the router may not have DCHP enabled ( I dont have the IP address to log onto the router) please can someone help
If i unplug the router and have the modem connecting directly to the pc, internet works fine again.

if u have a cable connection....follow the steps below
1) connect the computer to one of the LAN ports on the router...and connect the modem to the router's internet port.
2) check the ip add on the computer . to check the ip add go to start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig...ensure that u have an ip add of 192.168.1.x and default gateway 192.168.1.1
2) access the router using http://192.168.1.1 . Keep the username blank and the default password is "admin".
3) go to the "mac add clone" subtab , enable it and click clone your pc's mac..save the settings....do a power cycle
4) go to the "wireless" tab , change the ssid , channel - 1 or 11.
If this does not work for u , revert back with the details - ISP name , cable / DSL , internet ip add off of the status page on the router....

Internet works fine, but can't see Airport Base Station w/ Airport Utility

I'm running Windows XP Pro on a Dell Latitude laptop with linksys wireless-n PCMCIA card. I have a Cable Modem running to a Linksys router (cloning a MAC address), running to the Airport Extreme Base Station. Internet works fine (as I type this), but Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Base Station. This has happened repeatedly after hard reset and re-configuration of Airport Extreme Base Station.
Do I have a bad piece of hardware?

After doing a lot of research, this appears to be a pretty common problem for Windows users.
The only thing that has worked for me is to go into the Airport Utility, and under the file menu, click on configure other. Then enter the LAN IP address of your airport extreme. I think the default is 10.0.1.1, although I have a separate router between my cable modem and my airport express providing IP addresses, so mine was different. It didn't always work at first, but now almost every time my base station disappears, if I do this it can be found again.

Did you check your wifi settings and do a reboot?

Home router can't connect to third party mail server (internet works fine)

I use speakeasy webmail (MegaPath) and whenever I use my home router (netgear WNR1000) the internet works fine but I can't recieve or send mail either through Apple Mail or through Entourage. When I'm at work, coffee shops or literally any other network my mail works fine. What's going on?

prkswllflwr, Welcome to the discussion area!
Assuming that your sister's Mac has an AirPort Extreme card installed, use the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card to verify that the antenna wire is properly connected.

Hi Roy, this has worked for a few...

The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat

My Isight is not working on skype and yahoo messenger but works on photobooth and ichat.
Ive reset my SMC and PMU but it still does not work. Only black screen appears on skype with a loading sign that takes so long. The light signal on the cam doesnt turn on as well which indicates that it is really not working.

Regarding Skype, post in the Mac Skype forums on Skype's website. It's where all the Mac Skype users hang out.
Regarding Yahoo, contact its customer tech support department.

Airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

airport express worked fine now shows only constant amber light ?

A solid amber light indicates that the AirPort Express cannot get out of startup mode.....likely because of a power supply issue within the device.
Try a Factory Default Reset as a last resort to see if that might help. To do this....
Power off the AirPort Express and wait a minute or two
Hold in the reset button on the Express first, and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the Express back into power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the Express to restart
At this point, if the Express is operating correctly, the amber light will be blinking slowly and you can reconfigure the Express again.
If the amber light remains solid after a few reset attempts, the internal power supply on the Express is faulty and the device will need to be replaced.

.Mac works fine, other e-mails account can't connect

Since I install my Airport Express I can't receive e-mails from my domain accounts. Internet works fine, Mac accounts have no issue and my host told me that everything work fine for him. Indeed I can access my Webmail page.
This happen with all the computers and all the accounts of my domain account.
Any clues?
Thanks!

i had a phantom cox pop3 outlook express email account that worked both sending/receiving.
this is what i did.
changed the password into outlook on a pc, which threw an error message on the phone that allowed me to get into email settings & delete, then recreate the account.
what app are you using unless you meant the email icon?
in the future, just stop the etching (set to manual) & the account won't be disabled.
hope this helps

Yahoo messenger does not connect after mountain lion upgrading

Hey,
Any experts there to solve my problem!
After upgrading to mountaion lion, the yahoo messenger can not connect to the internet, all contacts are not appearing automatically in email adress box, all editing tolls gone!!
Thanks in advance.

When I opened Yahoo Messenger for the first time, it asked to use my Contacts. I said no. It took about 3 minutes to finally connect to the internet and none of the names I typed appeared in the list, just their Yahoo IDs. I then went into Security and Privacy (System Prefs) and allowed it access to my contacts and the next time I logged in, the friends list looked exactly like it should. It didn't reduce the login time, however. It still takes about 3 minutes.
I hope this helps some.

Had my Nikon D600 recently in for the updated service call. Camera works fine but Photoshop says it cannot open my RAW (NEF) files now? It worked fine before and I have done all my updates.

The only thing I can think of is if you got a replacement D610 as rumored here:
http://nikonrumors.com/2014/01/27/nikon-is-replacing-some-d600-cameras-with-new-d610-model s.aspx/
In that case, you would need the new version of Camera RAW or DNG converter as per Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras .
The other thing to check is if the files open in the Nikon native ViewNX software. If they don't it's time to call the service center.
