Airport says I'm connected to a signal, but Safari says I'm not...

Hi, I've had my iBook G4 since last October and I absolutely love it! My only complaint has been my ongoing difficulty with the wireless connection at home. Today for example, airport didn't connect to the wireless network. I saw my network in the drop down menu, but after typing in the password it says it has trouble joining the network. From experience and what I've read, I went and changed the channel for the router. So at this point, airport finds the signal, connects, and I'm happy. I try to get on Safari and it says that I'm not connected to the internet. Argh!! What gives!?!
This has been happening on and off at random times. Sometimes all I have to do is change the channel on the router and I'm fine. Sometimes I go through the computer to look at the settings and somehow it'll start working again. Can someone please help me with this?
iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Reset my base station...it's working now.

  • Suddenly, my Airport says it's Not Configured.

    Suddenly, my Airport says it's Not Configured. I have just installed the latest security and java updates. I can't turn Airport on in the Network Preferences either.
    What's happened?

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • My Ipad 'Systems' shows my WiFi connection is working and all my Apps connect and interact ok but Safari says 'No Response from the Server' the same on my Mail. The WiFi works perfectly on everything else in the house. Any ideas ?

    My Ipad 'Systems' shows my WiFi connection is working and all my Apps connect and interact ok but Safari says 'No Response from the Server' the same on my Mail. The WiFi works perfectly on everything else in the house. Any ideas ?

    it was not just email it was all internet via safari but all apps including the bank account app. the laptop and pc access the same email servers which work perfectly so it is difficult to blame the servers.
    by the way it has now started to work properly at lasst after a whole day of trying to resolve this year.

  • Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client library does not support encryption

    Hi ,guys
    I came cross a trouble when I configured connection encryption.
    I met the following problem when I have configured connection encryption done.
    Encryption is required to connect to this server but the client library does not support encryption; the connection has been closed. Please upgrade your client library. [client: ip]

    Your initial post stated you were using SqlClient in an ASP.NET 3.5 app.  I think this is an issue with the jTDS client based on the error message.  Are you using the latest jTDS driver?  If so, try posting this issue to

  • HT1595 I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not

    I have 6 other apple devices that have no problem connecting to my network, but my Apple TV will not, any ideas?

    1: Unplug / shut off the router for 30 seconds
    2: Retore or unplug apple tv (If you unplug it, let it sit for 30 seconds as well)
    3: If all else fails try moving the ATV and router closer to each other, if nothing works I would consider it a defect as Apple products generally have great quaility and you never know what goes on behind warehouse doors!

  • Connected to wifi network but safari can't find any web pages

    my wifi connection is shown as connected but when i go to safari it says i am not connected to the internet. itunes, you tube, maps, etc. don't work either. does anyone have any ideas? i've seen suggestions on here but none seem to work for me

    emertone,
    Have you tried using a static IP configuration on your iPad instead of DHCP?
    Settings->General->Network->wifi-> (arrow beside the current active wifi connection)? If you see an IP address like 169.x.x.x you are having a problem with getting a DHCP lease.
    First make sure that MAC address filters are not enabled on your router. If they are, disable them and see if DHCP then works. It should give you a 192.168.x.x IP address. You may need to reboot the iPad or the connection to trigger DHCP.
    If it doesn't work, and you still see a 169.x.x.x IP address, select "Static" instead of "DHCP"
    - set IP to for example 192.168.0.155 (last part can be 0-255 but choose somewhere in the middle to avoid collision with DHCP assigned addresses)
    - subnet 255.255.255.0
    - router 192.168.0.1
    - dns 192.168.0.1
    Depending on your router you may need to use 192.168.1 instead of 192.168.0 in the above addresses, but try 0 first

  • Connected to the internet, but Safari and Dashboard aren't

    My airport shows I'm connected and I'm busy on Firefox, but Safari won't load and my widgets on my dashboard won't connect. How can I make them recognise the net?

    Check your settings in the Network preference pane. Especially the items involving proxy.
    Firefox ignores the proxy setting but Safari and the widgets will use that setting.

  • Nokia N8 Wi FI Connected With full signal but no i...

    Hello
    I am having some issues with my wi fi at home. I just bought the phone a few days ago and it worked fine for about a day. I can connect to my router with no issues but it wont connect to the internet. Its saying it has full signal from my router and that its connected but i'm unable to connect to anything internet related. My Xbox works fine with the router and so does my G/fs Htc Desire so its not problem with my modem or router. Ive deleted data and restored a couple times as well as disabled the power saving mode in Wi fi settings. It is hooked up using a WEP key with mixed 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b. I've changed the wireless channel 1- 11. Hoping to get some feedback so i dont have to send it away.
    Much Appreciated
    Matt 

    Turn from 802.11n to 802.11b/g. Use a WPA/WPA2 shared key.
    ‡Thank you for hitting the Blue/Green Star button‡

  • My iMac G4 shows it is connected to the Internet, but Safari isn't working?

    Yesterday I bought a second-hand iMac g4. I'm not too familiar with iMacs or computers in general, so my understanding is pretty basic. I brought it home, plugged
    It in, and connected it to my wireless. It recognizes the wireless and connects to it, but when I open safari it says that it can't load the page because there is no Internet connection. It does sometimes work in different areas of my house (the kitchen, living room) but only for ten minutes at the max. The imac I have has 1.25GHz and I am assuming has an airport card because the Internet worked on it when I tested it out before I bought it. My wireless is on WPA/WPA2. How do I get the Internet to start working?

    The machine is booting up so I wouldn't worry about the PRAM battery.  I set my time off of the internet, since my pram battery is dead & I do not feel like changing it.  click on time to get this panel.
    The imac I have has 1.25GHz and I am assuming has an airport card because the Internet worked on it when I tested it out before I bought it.
    To sort things out, I'd connect the machine via an ethernet cable to you router. Thus, if it works well via a cable you will have narrowed the problem down to the wifi card.
    My wireless is on WPA/WPA2. How do I get the Internet to start working?
    You sure the machine is connecting to your router not a neighbors?  Set router to now encryption & see how things work.  Just for testing.

  • Mac connected to PC network but Safari cannot connect internet

    Hello there,
    I using a PC (windows XP) to connect to internet Via a wireless modem router (Belkin54g).
    I have successfuly connected my Mac (G5 Dual 2Ghz)to the wireless router Via an an airport Xtreme card in the Mac. the airport card can find the network but I cannot get internet conection with safari!!! what settings should I change or what procedure should I follow to sort this out?? Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated...
    regards,
    Nimo

    You could try the Network named System Preference control pane to see
    if you can change the settings your machine has for wireless and other
    network access to facilitate making the proper connection to your wi-fi base.
    Depending on what kind of network you have available, your Mac should
    just see it; but there are rare occurrences where some brands of base
    station act oddly with AirPort cards. Usually they just work, once the
    settings are configured correctly for your setup.
    Do you see an active Airport icon in the menubar? That's a start if you do;
    but that won't mean anything if your Network panel settings have Airport
    ignored in favor of, say Ethernet or maybe a dialup modem, etc. Or if
    you don't have the setting to Automatic for Airport; and that's why a view
    into those Network panel settings and options is important.
    Many users near an open wireless frequency find the Airport just works
    when they first run a new Macintosh. My brother was getting all of his
    neighbor's listings in his wireless Macs; some finally set up WPA or other
    network protections. He fine-tuned his for that neighborhood so it would
    be first in his own access to the internet; and he sees it by name in the
    AirPort menubar tool and in the Network panel settings; like I have mine.
    There are several details involved here, none should be difficult. Best of
    luck in your quest; and if this was a bit helpful, you are welcome.

  • My apple TV is connected and has power but all of a sudden not working

    I bought a new remote. (yes it's the correct one) I tried pairing by following instructions but I did not see the remote symbol on my tv screen.  When I point it at the Apple TV and press the menu button, the light on the Apple TV blinks which tells me it's receiving signal from the remote.  For some reason I can not get into the Menu to make any selections.  Now the apple TV is on but in screen saver mode.  When I press the remote it does nothing!  It has been almost a month since I used it but I'm not sure that would effect anything.  Help

  • My imac won't connect to the internet, but safari still works

    I just bought my first iMac about a week ago and it was working fine
    then for no reason my programs slowly stopped connecting to the internet such as iChat
    but my Safari still works.
    how do i fix this problem?

    hockeyman68, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If Safari is still able to browse web pages, your iMac is still connected to the internet.
    Perhaps you should visit the iChat discussion area... and provide a lot more detail on what you are experiencing.
