Airport says connected to basestation via PPoE but cannot connect

My ibook 700 connects to airport and internet connect says connected to base station via PPoE with very stong signal. Despite this when launch any internet requiring application Mail, Safari, TBK2 I get error message that it can't find server and Internet connect says can't find a PPoE sever. Have rebooted, reseated airport card and atenna, logged in under various users etc. Occasionally Safari will spontaneously connect and work fine. The base station has an iMac attached to it and it connects without a problem via the Airport Snow Base station via an ethernet cable. Other airport equipped ibooks connect without any issues.
I am running 10.3.9 on the ibook and have not recently updated any software.
Is this software, hardware, network setting etc problem.
Thanks for your help
Willy

It should be that the AirPort Base Station is connected to your DSP ISP using PPPoE, and the your iBook is connected to the Base Station using DHCP. Is this the way they are configured now?

HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

Rufus Cat-
Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Running Windows 7 via bootcamp but cannot update to either 3.1 or 3.2. My MAC OS is 10.6.8

I am running Windows 7 via bootcamp but cannot update to either 3.1 or 3.2. My MAC OS is 10.6.8.
I can download either version, but I get an error message after attempting to install.
First tried Boot Camp 3.2. Error message indicated I need Boot Camp 3.1 first.
Then tried Boot Camp 3.1. Error message indicated I need Boot Camp 3.0 first
Then tried Boot Camp 3.0. Would not allow download.
I know the OSX came with Boot Camp why is there a problem????!!

3.0 is on your OS X DVD. Clearly spelled out in the guide in Boot Camp Assistant, and here -
www.apple.com/support/bootcamp : manuals, look for 10.6 pdf version.
3.0 is pre-requisite for any other
OS X comes with Boot Camp Assistant and you access 3.0 drivers while in Windows.

Serial numbers for LR are cross platform and CC memberships also are cross platform.
You can download Lightroom's latest update here for Mac: blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/11/lightroom-5-7-now-available.html

AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

I'm stumped.
I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
Any other suggestions?

John,
Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
Thank you again,
Christine

New macbook, airport says connected but browser not working

Hi,
Just got a new macbook.When I connect to the internet the airport says it's connected to the network, but my browser won't work like it isn't connected.I have connected a few times,so I know it does work, but now it won't work at all.
Don't know what to do!

Having an internal IP address is essential.
Go to System Preferences>Network and note the color of the "Dot" to the left of Airport. Red=No connection, Yellow=connected but no IP, and Green=working.
Double click on Airport and click on the TCP/IP tab. Check to see if you have an IP address. Click Renew DHCP lease. Apply now if it is available. Open Safari and see if it works.
Let me know what happens.

Airport says connected, but browser can't load any page

Hi all mac geniuses, I just got a wireless modem/router from my DSL provider, and after I selected it and entered the password on the Airport menu, Airport says I am connected. However, the web browser can't load a page like it doesn't have internet connection. Is there something I missed during the setup?

No, Three feet away from the wireless. When i connect to the cat6 cable, I have no problem with the high-speed of the router.
It's only trying to disconnect and go wireless that I have a "fake connection" if you will
The 404.2 is the number I got from system profiler
the whole firmware info is: 404.2 (3.90.34.0.p16)
as they say in Shakespeare: "For my part, it was Greek to me"
Remember this is an internal card on my laptop, so the numbers might be different...
I truly appreciate any help/wisdom anyone might have on this matter.
I'm probably going to call Netgear who make this new smokin router and see what's up

Supports multi-channel digital audio output on compatible devices
make sure your ipad is not muted
make sure you volume is not all the way down
make sure audio play out of the ipad when not connected to the hdmi adapter
if you did and it don't work then it's likely an issue with the connetor
or the tv or it's settings

I can connect to my work server via vpn but cannot seem to figure out how to map the network drives on the iMac. Any thoughts?

Wish to map network drives on the iMac. Any thoughts?

For some reason, the error box photo didn't appear in my post. Here it is:

I can no longer access the iTunes store, I get a message saying I need to update iTunes but cannot as I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1

I have an account with the iTunes store but can no longer access the store because I get a message in iTunes store window telling me to update to an iTunes version that will only run on Mac OS 10.5. I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1 and do not plan on upgrading that version.

This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
4. download Safari (26 MB)
5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
7. take a long walk
8. install security update and restart
9. install Safari and restart
And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store. I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.
