Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router.
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • Wireless network only visible on Mac but not PC

    Hi all,
    I replaced my Linksys router with an Airport Extreme.
    I configured a wireless network and I can see the wireless network on my MacBook Pro. However, while my PC's can still see the old Linksys wireless network, they don't pick up the wireless network of the Airport Extreme.
    Has anybody had the same issue? Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Bernd

    No, I'm running in 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) mode.
    The firmware version is 7.0.
    Do you have another suggestion?
    Thanks again,
    -Bernd

  • Officejet 6600 All But One Laptop Can Connect To Wireless Network Printer

    One windows and 2 macs can connect to the wireless printer over the newtwork just fine  but one (Windows 7) will not. HP Print and Scan Doctor can discover the printer from that laptop as "visible"  but repeatedly says " need to install full software" which I've done, and after, it  runs install wizzard reports, the IP address I've entered is wrong, which it's not. Firewalls are off.  I've un and re installed, tried windows add device which can't connect either. I've had this problem before with this laptop but just can't remember how I fixed it. I remember getting to a screen that offered the option of installing over a nework or wireless directly to the printer and over the network fixed it, but I can't remember how I got there. Any ideas as I'm at wits end. Thanks

    Welcome to the forums @Davidchicago ,
    I read through your post about the installation troubles you are having with one of your Windows 7 computers and your Officejet 6600. I am here to let you know what my suggestion is for you!
    There could be a program blocking the installation and causing the problem. I'd recommend a Clean Boot, restarting your PC, disabling your firewall and running through the installation again.
    Hopefully that will get you through the install. Let me know the results!
    Have a great weekend

  • Can connect to wireless network but no internet access

    I have a PC that runs on Windows Vista and a wireless network using Airport Extreme. My PC can connect to the wireless network but I cannot access the internet. Windows Network Diagnostics states that 'A problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection'. There should be no problem with my modem as I can access internet using my powerbook. When I run airport utility on my PC, there is an error message that states that 'An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again', 'error -6753'.

    I am glad you brought this up. I am having the same difficulty. I run an iMac OS X 10.5.6 with an intel processor and a parallel system to get me on the Windows side. When I try to access the internet using my Airport extreme I cannot access any sites and the internet explorer page pops up with "The page cannot be displayed and sends me to try the diagnose connection problems on the toolbar method. However I can see my base station and all looks fine with the information there. I can also access the internet from my mac side of the computer. It would be nice to use the Windows side to gain access to the net because I have programs for the windows side that need updating. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

  • IPod Touch suddenly no longer can connect to Wireless Network.

    Hello, I have yet to find an answer to my problem so maybe you guys can help.
    I have had my iTouch for at least 2 years and have never had a problem with it, and constantly used it to connect to the wireless network in our home.
    However, starting two days ago, my iTouch can rarely detect the network (even when right next to the router) and if it does, it is unable to join because it loses the signal almost immediately. After much troubleshooting, (laptops connect fine, friends iTouch's connect fine) I have determined that something is wrong with mine.
    The only thing I can think of that happened that day, was that night it had gotten extremely cold. (Montana, oh yay.) Could this have caused the malfunction?
    Any insight would be appreciated!

    Given that it got really cold and you brought it inside, condensation could have formed on the inside bits. Dump it in a bag of rice or a jar with those silica gel packages for a couple of days and see what happens.
    If you still have problems connecting, try power cycling your router and resetting your touch's network settings.

  • WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

    Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
    First the techincal details:
    OS for all machines = Windows XP
    Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
    WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
    SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
    I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all).  I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
    My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired. 
    Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution?  Thanks.

    A new discovery...
    When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet.  So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled). 
    I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • IMac can connect to wireless network automatically

    All of a sudden, my mac won't automatically join my wireless network. I can find the network easily and connect to it, but it doesn't connect automatically like it used to. This seems odd as iphones have no problem finding the wi fi network and connecting. This seems to have cropped up after I added another user account, but that may be totally unrelated. Any ideas how to fix this? Let me know if there are more details I can provide. Thanks.

    I've had this same thing for months now and I have no idea why. I do know that it started right around the time that I upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard, but laptop (Pro) is still just regular old Leopard and it happens with it as well. I've tried everything - the approach in the previous reply to your question included - and have still had no luck. I tried all the old (2008, etc.) apple discussion forum stuff too. No joy. Please let me know if you figure it out because at this point in time I've tried everything I know. Granted, selecting a network every time I power up or wake a computer from sleep is not going to kill me, it's just....annoying.

  • Can connect to wireless network but no internet?

    Ok, I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but I'm tired.
    At this point I'm not even sure if it can be done. But... I tried to connect to my mother's wireless internet using my Airport Extreme. I connected to the wireless but was unable to access the internet, or email. I tried manually setting the IP address, DHCP, router, DNS etc. But to no avail. It kept saying "Airport is connected to wireless ..., but it has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet". I got it to accept the new IP address and finally it said " Airport is connected to wireless..., and is connected to the internet" but I still could not get on. It does say on her computer that it is protected by a key. But I used her password to get on and it recognized it? But her password was not the key.
    I thought that I could connect to any wireless network with the password?
    Can this even be done?
    Thanks
    A

    Duane,
    Thanks for the response. I did not see anything about MAC filtering enabled. It did say encryption was enabled. All I foud was the IP address, router, DNS etc. It is a WEP password and it did accept the password to log on to the network. It's Time Warner and she has a PC. I tried everything, set up new location. I'm going to try to log on to my friends wireless network and see if I can do so there. If my memory serves me right, the last time I tried to log on to a wireless network it didn't work either. Also my mother does not know much about it, someone set it up for her and she is one to not understand these "new fangled things". So...

  • NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

    I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

    Hi Nakia,
    > I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
    As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
    Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

  • Can connect to wireless network but not to internet

    Ok, so I bought a new AEBS and have finally managed to get it set up with my cable modem, and with security on so that the light is green, and not amber... the only problem now is that although I can connect to the wireless network that i have created using the base station, I cannot connect to the internet through it using my MacBook.
    I don't have problem connecting my iMac to the net wirelessly using the base unit so am confused.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Trying for wireless network with D-Link modem, but no Internet connection

    I am trying to figure out a way to use my iBook elsewhere in my house, without being physically connected to my modem. I have a SpeedStream 5100 modem, use DSl, and just got a D-Link DI-524 router. My problem is that I cannot access the configuration page for the router. When I type in 192.168.0.1, as instructed, my we b browser "times out." I also cannot "ping" this address.
    I have tried multiple web browsers, have tried resetting the modem and the router, and have tried to contact D-Link and SBC for help, to no avail.
    My iBook recognizes a wireless network when all of the machines are connected, but I can't get online on either machine.
    As instructed by D-Link, I have changed the ISP address in my network preferences, but something doesn't seem to be working.
    What am I doing wrong?
    By the way, I have downloaded no firmware or drivers for the D-Link; I just hooked it up.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, the cable from the modem is plugged into the WAN port; the cable from the iMac is plugged into the WLAN port (I've tried all four ports). (By the way, don't feel bad about asking; I am not the most tech-savvy.)
    The IP address I have been trying to connect with the router/modem setup is 192.168.0.1. There is no way for me to input any numbers in the "router" box; it is blank.
    Normally, when I connect using DSL, my IP address is different, and there is a router number there, too.
    I have tried contacting D-Link's customer support via e-mail. After exchanging about three e-mails with them, they have declared me beyond their help. Ugh! I'm sure it's something simple that I'm not doing, but I just don't know what!

  • Mac can't see wireless network - have checked other posts but no  solution!

    I have scanned many posts on this topic but have not seen my specific problem resolved, so I'm starting a new post. Here's all the facts and things I've checked.
    Hardware Details
    iMac 1.25 GHz G4
    Airport Extreme card (shows up in system profiler)
    Linksys 802.11g router
    Network Details
    WPA Personal
    Have never had a problem using this network. 2 PC's an 2 Macs regularly connect. Right now one PC and my wife's MacBook Pro are using the network.
    The iMac was seeing the network yesterday - today it can't even see it!
    Per the advice from many helpful posters, I have checked that mac addressing is disabled on the router.
    I have checked that appletalk is active on the iMac
    I have restarted the iMac several times after applying various changes.
    This is a very perplexing problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi kmacwilliam,
    I am having a similar issues with yours, my MBP and MB couldnt not stay connect to the dlink router recently. But the PC's been working fine all the time. The wireless would drop and could not see the network again while my neighbours' networks were still displaying. Even restarting the MBP and router wont see my wireless network.
    You can try these things and see if it works for you, it's worked for me for time being. Please post back the outcomes:
    1. Delete any airport-related passwords in the "Keychain" so no airport passwords are stored
    2. Shut down the iMac
    3. Reset the PMU in your case for the G4 iMac, you may need to open your back case to reset it
    3. Turn on your iMac and you should see the network again
    I am suspecting this might be software issue, hope this works for you.
