Airport self-assigned IP address not able to connect to the internet

I installed airport into my eMac and have been using for over a month with no problems. Today I crashed using iWeb and had to restart with the startup button. Upon restart I couldn't get onto the internet via airport. The computer gets on via ethernet and my MacBook can still access the internet via airport. When I am trying to connect with airport I am told I am connected to my wireless network but the System Preferences>Network with Location set to Automatic, Shows Network Status as "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet." I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it not self-assign an IP address. I hope someone out there can.

Ouch I was hoping someone would have replied after I went to bed last night.
So I looked at some other posts and tried running applejack to no avail. I also removed the network from my prefered selection and reselected it to see if the WEP was the porblem, it wasn't. Then I switched to manual selection of IP and typed in 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. This got rid of the self-assigned IP note but when I tried to use Safari it still said I wasn't connected to the internet. Ugh. Could removing and replacing my airport card fix this problem?

  • HT4628 My Mac Air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet as it says it has a self assigned IP address and thus cannot connect to the internet. I can only connect to a network by manually typing in the configuration specs. Please help.

    My mac air OSX10.8.5 won't connect to the internet. It says it has a 'self assigned IP address and therefore cannot connect to the internet'. Network diagnostics is unable to the solve the problem. It happened suddenly for no reason and now I cannot connect except by typing in the configuration settings manually. Please help me!

    Use the Airport Utility or log into your wireless device via http and ensure the DHCP/NAT service is enabled.  If accessing via HTTP, you will need to manually set an ip within your local subnet (eg: 192.168.0.x).

  • Hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working.

    hi, i am not able to connect to the internet. wifi not working. not able to find proper drivers for 32 bit win.7 os. need urgent help..
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi:
    I can give you the link to the wifi driver, if you do the following steps to post the hardware ID for the wireless card, so I can figure out what model wireless card the notebook has...
    To find the hardware ID, go to the device manager and click on the device labeled Network Controller.
    Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller window.
    Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
    Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
    Post the top string of characters you see in the window.

  • Self-assigned IP address which is not able to connect to the internet.

    Okay, so my whole issue started around six or more months ago. I have a white MacBook which I have never particularly had any connectivity problems with, at least that where caused by my laptop. I constantly am on the internet at home and have never had issues with wireless connection here. I am a full time student which means I am also constantly on campus with my laptop and needing access to the internet. Even so, there I have never had any issues with connectivity.
    My issue is when I go to another university campus I am unable to connect to the internet. My airport finds the network I want and connects to it but usually within a few seconds the radial bars go a light gray and have an exclamation point through them . When looking under the Airport drop down list it simply says, "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet." This particular IP that is not allowing me to access the internet starts off with 169.**.*.**. I would provide the entire IP but as I am not on that campus at the moment, I can't and don't remember it fully.
    I have tried SO many different things in order to find a solution but have come up empty handed every time. I've tried turning off my firewall and all of the steps that resolution includes and have also tried to resolve the issue through the creation of a new location, new network, and the use of network assistant on Airport.
    I know it is not an issue of the universities wireless network because I can easily connect to the internet through my Ipod Touch without a password simply by finding the network, connecting, stating I'm a guest, and then agreeing to the terms of use. Same goes for my local campus wireless network on both my Ipod Touch and MacBook.
    I am in extreme need of a resolution and would GREATLY appreciate any kind of feedback anyone can give me. If there is any other information you may need to help me out a little more accurately just let me know, I'll be happy to give you whatever I can so that I may figure this annoyance out!

    By the way, totally didn't mean to categorize this under Airport for Windows. This is my first post and OBVIOUSLY a figured out a way to mess it up. My bad. :S
    But again I'd appreciate any help! :]

  • WRT150N not able to connect to the Internet... (urgent)

    Hello. I recently bought the Linksys WRT150N wireless router to use at home. I want to be able to use the router with my laptop in the other room, while my main computer with the direct Internet cable is in a separate room. It seems to run fine... all the lights are on (power, ethernet 1, internet, and wireless), and I can use the internet fine through it. However, I encounter a problem during the Setup Wizard, specifically during step 11. After I set the router's Admin. password, it says "the router is connecting to the internet, please wait." Then I get an error message that states: "The Router is unable to connect to the Internet. Try turning the DSL modem on/off again. Would you like to try again?" Here's a screenshot: http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/9369/40552080kj5.jpg I get this error message all the time. While I can use the internet, I cannot set up any security or use any of the features. My guess is that it's only connecting through the direct internet line. My router is set up like this: PC - Router - Direct Ethernet line/socket I have asked my ISP about this, but they have said that they do not currently support wireless routers or networks, so I can't expect any help from them. Is that the problem? Any suggestions or ideas? Much appreciated, thank you.

    With my DSL provider, I had to change settings on the modem to ethernet bridge and then set PPoE on my router and use it to authenticate to my provider.  Are you doing that?
    Pretty lousy of them not to support routers.   

  • Not able to connect to the internet

    I keep getting a message that the router does not know the 'Service Name" so there is no connection.  The internet light keeps blinking too.  Know of any fixes?

    You are right, when you download the firmware you cannot open it as it is a binary file...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router using the same link given earlier...Start from where it says " Setting-Up a Linksys Router for Cable "...

  • Network Devices not able to connect to the Internet, but local network has no issues.

    Hello All,
    I have been having this problem for the past 4 months or so(ever since I got the server).  I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine running a DHCP server.  I have 2 network devices installed on it.  One hardwired to the motherboard and one
    connected by a PCI-E slot.  I got a second card because I thought something was going on with the primary NIC.  However I have the same issue with the 2nd NIC.  I have remedied the issue by setting the server to restart every 2 days, very inconvenient. 
    After restart, everything is fine for 2 days.  All drivers are fully up-to-date and Windows is up-to-date as of last months' updates.  I also updated BIOS to the latest version.  Any help will be much appreciated.
    I have ruled out hardware issues, and here are my specs:
    Intel Core i7 3rd Gen @3.4GHz
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    Server 2012 R2 Standard 64-Bit
    Intel On-board Gigabit Ethernet
    TrendNet Gigabit PCI-E (Realtek Chip embedded, uses Realtek drivers)
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Is DHCP the only service that the server is used for?
    What are you using for DNS?
    When internet connectivity is lost on a client device, what does IPConfig show (a correctly assigned DHCP address or an APIPA address)?
    Is DHCP AD Integrated?
    How long is the DHCP lease?

  • How can I get a Firefox on CD? I have a computer that is not able to connect to the internet due to a virus so I am not able to download the software

    The computer was running IE, but that now seems to be corrupted

    You can download the setup file from http://www.mozilla.com/ using the computer that can connect to the internet. You can copy the setup file (Firefox Setup 3.6.10.exe) to a USB key or burn it to a CD.
    You can buy a CD from http://store.mozilla.org/ but I don't know how long it will take to arrive.

  • Siri is not able to connect to the internet with or without wifi. Anyone know why?

    Is anyone else having trouble with Siri today?

    When siri gives you that message, it means the servers are either down or busy. It doesn't necessarily mean YOU aren't connected to the network. Siri is still in beta and apple is continuously working to improve it. So occaisonal problems such as these are common.

  • IPhone 4 not able to connect to the internet via home network

    WiFi is on. the home network appears under WiFi with a check mark, but when I go to Safari or go to download email, it's still using the 3G network. What's up? I've already reset the network settings. My kids iTouches are doing the same thing. Their error message is Cannot Open Page.

    I have the same problem. all started when upgraded my iphone 4 to iOS 4.3...
    hopefully, this fix this on the 4.3.1 and SOON!

  • Turning on airport on my mac makes all computers lose connection to the internet

    I have the 13 inch black macbook, 2008 model. For some reason when I turn AirPort on in my house, my mac is not able to connect to the internet (even though AirPort says it's connected in System Preferences > Network), and neither is my other ASUS laptop. If the ASUS laptop was already connected to the internet, it would lose the connection as soon as AirPort on the mac is turned on. This problem only occurs when I try to connect using the internet connection in my house. What's the solution to this problem? Thanks

    What model # is your router? Sounds like we have a dual-problem here. Could be a mixture of both having bridge mode.. and perhaps a WEP issue or something...

  • HT3466 Airport has self assigned IP address 169.254.153.51 and will not be able to connect to the Internet

    Cannot  connect to internet wirelessly because I get the message "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.153.51 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • I getting airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet

    I getting airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet

    I have got exactly the same message after we re-configured our router. I was connecting using my iMac wirelessly before hand, but now cannot. Our other PCs can connect wirelessly to the router so it's not the router. I have also tried the firewall solution but that doesn't work either.
    I did call Apple Support who said that a full troubleshoot would cost £35 as my computer is older than 90 days (well yes it's been working fine that's why it's over 90 days old, it's only now that it isn't!). He said a trouble shoot didn't guarantee success so I declined his offer to charge me an extortionate amount of money for nothing! He did say that the router needs to be giving the Airport an IP address, but it isn't doing it now. His only suggestion was to turn off the router and turn it back on or power down the iMac. Neither of which help.
    Anyone else had any success?
