Can connect to router but not ad hoc network. Works fine with iPhone.

My brand new ipad on ios 3.2.2 connects fine to my router and my jailbroken iphone running Mywi. However, I cant connect to an ad hoc network set up on my laptop running vista. My iphone connects to the ad hoc without any problems. I've tried everything, static ips, wep, wpa, hard resets, restoring, resetting network settings but no go. How can' everything else be fine but not connecting to the ad hoc network, especially since it works fine to connect with the iphone?
Btw, the ad hoc is for controlling music software on the laptop through wifi. It's not for getting internet.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks,
L

Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Did you try doing a search, upper right corner of this window, on remote control? There have been a number of discussions during the last two weeks about remote control problems.
There have also been discussions about networking an iPad via another computer, such as iMac or MacBook Pro, using the computer's wireless card rather than a router.
See if one of those will answer your question.

  • Can connect to router, but not to internet

    About a week ago, my whole wireless setup stopped working. I have a BEFW11S4 v.4 router and a WPC54G v3 notebook adapter. I tried the hard reset on the router and taking to security off the wireless. I can connect to the router, but not the internet. What am I doing wrong? I can connect directly using the DSL modem.

    If you are getting Ip address in the range of 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 .... change the Local Ip address to 192.168.2.1 ...click save settings ....
    Do power cycle .....& see if you are online or not ....

  • Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

    I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
    however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one.  found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
    but I can't go online!  I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card.  my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be?  I already tried rebooting the router, but no results.  I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
    any suggestions?  thank you so much in advance

    It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration.  When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
    Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
    From a command window, try typing:
    ipconfig
    It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
    If you don't get a valid IP and route, try  running: ipconfig /renew
    See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
      ping 192.168.0.1
    If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
     Start->Control Panel
     Double click Network Connections
     Check for DHCP:
       Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
       Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
       Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
       Click OK in both boxes.
     Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
     If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

  • Help - Can Connect to Router but not Internet

    I just upgraded to a new hard drive.  After reinstalling Windows XP, I tried to connect to my router (WRT54GS) which is working fine, but can't connect to the internet.  This is a second laptop (first still connected to internet just fine).  I've tried connecting directly to the router via ethernet cable and wirelessly, but can't connect to the internet either way.  I'm looking for any advice on how to resolve!  Thanks!!

    Connect the computer to the router .... access web interface of the router ....
    Look for MAC address clone sub-tab .... under setup tab .... click enable & clone ..... click save settings ....
    Go to status tab ..... look for internet ip address  ....
    Do power cycle ....
    Check if you are online or not .....

  • WRT54G can connect to router but not internet

    A few days ago, I stopped being able to connect to the internet through my router. I have a desktop which is connected to my cable modem. My desktop connection works fine, but I cannot connect wirelessly with my laptop. Even if I connect a wired connection to my router, it will not connect to the internet. I have tried updating firmware and that did not help. When I try to diagnose the problem through windows, it tells me that "There may be a problem with the DNS". Also, when I look at the status tab in the router site, it shows that the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are all 0.0.0.0. Any ideas?

    hey guys you have your connections the wrong way...
    here's what your connection should be the cable modem should always be connected to the router, that means that the desktop (which is online) should not be connected to the modem...because, the your modem might only give out one ip address that means only ONE device behind the modem can go online, now either the router or the desktop gets the internet connection.so if your desktop is the one getting the ip address from the modem, so make sure that the modem is connected to the ROUTER ONLY...
    after connecting the modem to the router, connect the computer at the back of the router, so all the devices should be connected behind the router. in that way the router could get the internet connection from the modem and the router could give multiple ip addresses on all of the devices or computers that you're gonna connect to the router...
    then if ever the router still doesn't give internet connection try resetting the router and try to reconfigure it as well....

  • On Windows Xp machines, can connect to router but not internet

    Yesterday, I bought an Airport Extreme to replace my current router. I setup my network successfully and my macbook can connect fine. However, I have 2 Microsoft XP machines that can connect to the router (it sees it and connects), but I can't access the internet from these machines. For my network, I had to use a bridge mode. Any suggestions?

    Solution:
    1.Connect to internet via LAN
    2.Open browser to be sure you are connecting to the internet via LAN.
    3.Open up Airport utility from the PC
    4.Be sure you still have a wireless connection to the base station
    5.Open Airport Set up system while still connected to the internet via LAN.
    6.Run through system set up with the same settings, or different just as long as the base station reboots while you are connected to internet via LAN.
    7.After base station reboots, disconnect LAN cord, or disable LAN connection.
    8.After LAN is disconnected, try opening up a browser via your wireless connection.
    9.For me I was reconnected to internet via my wireless connection.

  • IMac G3 DV 400 running 9.2.2 can connect to router but not beyond

    I've connected my iMac to an ethernet port on my router. I can browse from the to the router page. 192.168.0.1 .
    My iMac is setup with the TCP/IP installed. The system profiler shows the default gateway, domain, and names server all point to the router.
    What am I missing? I can't access ANY web page.
    John

    169.254,xxx.yyy is the "self-assigned" IP address range. Your Mac gives itself that address when it powers up, then broadcasts a request for a new IP Address.
    It appears your Router is not providing an IP address. This could indicate that dispensing IP Addresses is turned OFF in your Router, and no other Router is available to provide a sensible IP Address.
    Check your Router configuration to make sure it will supply IP Addresses in the proper range using DHCP. It may also be called Network Address Translation NAT. The Router is supposed to give you IP Addresses that are strictly local (which 192.168 addresses and a few other ranges are) then act as your agent on the Internet, using its own IP Address (established either by the "magic numbers" and/or name&password supplied by your Internet Service Provider and entered into your Router, or by using DHCP to get an IP{ Address from another Router upstream.

  • WRT54GS ... Can connect to Internet but not to my network

    I have three desktop computers wired to the router and a laptop that I connect using wireless. One of my computers went to the shop. Now, I can't get it to connect to the network, but I can access the Internet with a browser and with an FTP Client. The other computers still talk to each other fine. I reconfigured the problem desktop but no joy. Note that I cannot access the router at 192.168.1.1 from any computer. I unplugged the router for 30 seconds and replugged it... with no change. What's my next step? Thanks in advance for any help. New info. I can access the router by using Internet Explorer. And There is no light on the front panel indicating that the problem computer is connected ... even though I'm accessing the modem/Internet with it.
    Message Edited by KGP on 09-11-2008 11:31 PM

    Lower down the Ethernet Adapter card speed from Auto to 10 Half Duplex ...
    Also change the cable or the port in the routers back side ....
    See if light is present on one ....

  • Cannot find PPoE host, can connect to router but not internet

    I've been having trouble since I tried using the router. At first, I had no security, then I set up the security and couldn't connect to the router. That finally solved, sometimes when trying to connect to the router, I get the message cannot find PPoE host. But, my connection continues to show that it is strong in the bar at the top.
    So, I try to get on the internet -- Safari, Firefox -- no go.
    I run network diagnostics and the first three settings are lit, but the ISP, Internet and Server all show as failed.
    I'm connecting via airport and a linksys router.
    Thanks for any help

    You'll have to go into your router's settings and make sure they're correct. When you connect to the internet through a router, the router has to be set up with the appropriate IP information (like setting it for PPPoE). If you have set your router up properly, then all you have to do is connect your Mac to it, either wirelessly or over ethernet, and it should auto-configure if you have your Network settings on "DHCP" (not the manual DHCP, though). You will get an IP address assigned by your router if it worked.
    Hope that helps. Networking is always confusing.

  • Can connect to router, but not internet

    I just recently have been unable to connect to the internet.  I have tried everything, reset network settings, reboot ipad, router, and computer.  I show the wifi locations and when I select them I show the bars, but when I go to the internet I get an error message.  My Iphone is doing the same thing.

    Actually, Ralph's question was to tclowers who started this thread. Perhaps to avoid confusion you should start a new discussion specifically for your problem.

    Sorry, but music tracks and other media contact are not available in Israel via an iTunes Store at this time. None of us here can say when Apple will be able to obtain the necessary licenses and feel it worthwhile to set up an iTunes Store for your country.
