Can connect to wireless on Windows but not Mac OS?

I can connect to my wireless network on my newly boot camped Windows XP. However, now I cannot connect to it on my Mac OS X. I have 10.6.8. I can see my wireless network, it doesn't have a password and everytime I try to connect it attempts but then says the connection timed out. Help?

You need to check the setting for the "Automatic" location. Try this:
System Preferences > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select "Automatic"
Click on Advanced
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name. Delete all other named networks
Select TCP/IP tab.
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease. After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
Click on OK and Apply, etc.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

CS6 Plugin works on windows but not mac

Hi,
We have been developing a plugin for InDesign since CS3 and have recently ported it to CS6 (it was ported to all previous versions too, as they came out).
I followed the porting guide etc. and on windows it compiles and runs just ok - the plugin works correctly.
But when i compiled the same files on our mac machine and put the .indesignPlugin file in th plugins directory i can't see our plugin's context menu.
I can see that it is in fact loaded on startup (when i remove it ID loads 325 extensions, when i put it back - 326), but still it dosen't seem to work...
I initially thought that the versioning was off but our PluginVersion resource relies solemnly on SDKDef.h , i also tried putiing the file in CS5's plugin directory and got an error message that CS6 is required - so the version info is fine i guess.
We are using xCode 3.2.5 (because we have to support Mac OS 10.5 and 10.4) to build on mac and i've never had problems before - it worked on CS4, CS5 and CS5.5.
The changes i made when porting were minor and only in the code - so what has changed? and how come it works on windows but not on mac?
Any input is greatly appreciated, i've already spent days trying to understand this.
Thanks,
Dan.

Hi and thank you for replying.
The resources do get compiled correctly (i assume this because we do get a .indesign file at the end - which means the ODFRC ran ok). they are linked correctly in the mac project (i saw a file that determines the version - it's linked the same way against my win and mac projects and the win version works fine so i guess that's ok too).
the context menu is just another menu on the "menu bar" (don't know how to call it?) - i.e where the "file" and "edit" etc. menus are.
I can't seem to understand how come this works fine under windows but not under mac - they are essentially the same projects linked against the same resources (the difference being iCode vs VC10 projects).
can this be related to the fact we're using xCode 3.2.5?
Thank you.

ShowDocument works on Windows but not Mac

     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
          String command = ae.getActionCommand();
          if(command.equals("save"))
               String insertHTML = getDocumentText();
               showDoc("ProcessPage.asp?BodyCopy='Test'","_blank");
     //Shows a document (htm,asp,..) in a frame
     private void showDoc(String urlstr, String frameName) {
          int pos = getDocumentBase().toString().lastIndexOf("/");
          String DocBase = getDocumentBase().toString().substring(0, pos+1);
          System.out.println("openURL: "+DocBase + urlstr);
          try
          {     URL url = new URL(DocBase + urlstr);
               AppletContext j = getAppletContext();
               j.showDocument(url, frameName); }
          catch (MalformedURLException e) // new URL() failed
          {     System.out.println("new URL() failed for: "+ DocBase + urlstr); }
          catch (IOException e) // openConnection() failed
          {     System.out.println("openConnection() failed for: "+ DocBase + urlstr); }
I am trying to open up a new web page from an applet using showDocument. This works fine on Windows but not on Mac. The applet I am working with extends JApplet. Does anybody have any suggestions?

This is not working for me either. After issuing the showDocument(url, target) command I never see the request come into my webserver log. Although, it only seems to not work when the Mac is setup as Japanese. I know this doesn't make any sense.
Does not work on IE or Safari with 1.3.1
Does work with Safari with 1.4.1

Image.source in ItemRenderer works in Windows but not Mac

I have a Flex (AIR) application that is giving me problems on
the Mac. In one of the
Datagrids, I am using an ItemRenderer with an image control.
Some code in the
"set data(value:Object)" function assigns a file path as the
source of the image
control as follows.
imgThumb.source =
File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("pdqtemp").nativePath +
"/" + data.strJPGFileName;
This works correctly in Windows , but not on the Mac.
In this case, the path resolves to the following on the Mac.
/Users/brian/Documents/pdqtemp/artist_01t.jpg
I have verified that the file is in the right place and when
using the path in
the command line console, it correctly addresses that
directory and file. I
don't normally develop apps for the Mac so I am sure there is
something I am
missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Jed,
Thanks for responding
That is the exact path assigned to the Source of the Image
control. However, it isn't exactly a trace of the Image.Source
property.
The code in question is attached
The alert shows the path I originally posted and shows that
the fileImgThumb.exists returns False.
As I mentioned, this works perfectly in Windows. There is
some code elsewhere in the app that creates the thumbnail. That
does work on the Mac as the thumbnail image is created and saved
where expected.
I am not sure what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks for your help,
Sid

Windows 2000 laptop can connect to unsecured Apple network, but not w/WEP

I have a PC laptop running Windows 2000 with a Linksys WPC54GS wireless network adapter. I am running two Apple Expresses as one network. This is a healthy network and most everything I need to do works.
However, I can't connect to this network unless I turn off security entirely. Well, to be exact, I know it doesn't work (yet) with 128-bit WEP, and I haven't tried the 40-bit WEP (and don't especially want to). I tried switching to a 13-character password and getting the hex equivalent of it for use as the password on the laptop, but still no joy. The Linksys application on the PC lets you generate 4 different keys from a text password. I tried that too and tried all 4 different keys, and that doesn't work either.
Any ideas?

One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Only Windows XP has native support for wireless networking.
Other versions of Windows do not have native support for wireless networking.
What this means is that, unlike Windows XP, you can not plug in a wireless adapter and expect Windows to recognise it and start working.
You will need to install some kind of software configuration utility that came with the adapter. Each manufacturer has their own software so as a result the process of using these utilities to connect a Windows (non-XP) computer to an Airport wireless network will be different and so no generic guide is available.
Having said that you may find the following information on things to watch for useful.

Linksys works on windows but not mac

I am running boot camp on my early 2009 MBP. I have not been able to connect to my wireless for about 9 months using os 10.6.4. If I switch to windows 7 on the same computer I can connect to it with no problem. Why is this? I have tried everything to get os10.6.4 to work and nothing has worked. I have scoured these forums for solutions and nothing works. Any clues would be great? the router is a linksys WRT110. It finds the sig and shows it connected Green indication and all but its not really connected. Evil trick I think.

"...I have not been able to connect to my wireless for about 9 months using os 10.6.4..."
In as much as 10.6.4 has not been out for 9 months let's just start with the easy stuff. Have you the latest firmware for the router? How are you protected security wise? WEP, WPA,etc... Can you connect via an ethernet cable? Can you connect without any security protection? What happens when you try to connect to the web? More pertinent info will always help.

Can set up DSL with PC but not Mac

Hi,
Moving into a new apartment, I have a DSL account all ready to go. I never set one up before so am not familiar at all with how to do it. I tried first on the Mac and failed to get a connection. With the PC, I followed the Network Wizard and am able to connect online.
I retried the Mac and still can not get any success. Here is what I do. I went to system preferences/network. There clicked assist me and followed all instructions. When I had entered in my name and password, an unable to establish network connection error appeared. Clicking on diagnose button, I followed all the directions and selected PPPoE. After clicking continue, a connection message appears but then hangs. I then am told that network diagnostics cannot fix the current problem.
I then go back to my windows computer and plug right in and am immediately connected.
Can anyone understand why I cannot get my Mac up and running but my PC works just fine? I am too new at this to see what is wrong.
Thank you!

Ack! I was hoping that this was advice I would not get! You see, I am in China (and do not speak Chinese), so talking to someone here will be much harder than back when I was in the states.
Still, I may have to go that route to truly end this problem. I just do not understand why a PC can be hooked up in seconds and a Mac cannot? I turned off the DSL modem to try to start from square one with the Mac.
Another question: I have never had a wireless set up in my house before. Would going wireless fix this problem? Surely my Mac could connect to any wireless set up that was set up by this DSL modem.
Any thoughts on this and recommendations on how to get started?
Thanks again.

3rd Gen 40GB iPod click-wheel is seen by windows, but not Mac

I just dusted off my old iPod after nearly a year of no use and coulfn't get it to be seen on my MacBook Air with iTunes 7.7. I tried it on my homebuilt PC running Win XP with iTunes 7.7 and it mounted just fine. I did a software update on it, plugged it in overnight to give it a full charge, then tried it on the Mac again. Still no dice. No crash or hang, just as if it didn't exist. But it (the Mac & iTunes)see my wife's and my iPhone just fine. I double-checked and it still shows up and works normally on the PC. I don't want to do a reset if I can avoid, as I have some music on the iPod that isn't on the Mac. It is on the PC, but, it's a hassle to get it across.

I have a similar problem. I have not used my iPod in a few years. I recently bought a mac. The iPod syncs fine on the windows, but is completely unrecognized by my MacBook Air. I had to buy a USB connector because my iPod had only a firewire cable. Perhaps that's the issue? Disk Utility doe not recognize it. ITunes does not recognize it. In disk mode the screen still reads "OK to disconnect" after I plug it in. Any ideas? (I followed the Rs on the Windows where it's working fine...)
I am abandoning my PC altogether and I am becoming addicted to podcasts. Getting this to work with my MacBook Air would satisfy my new addiction.
Thanks,
T

Loaded PHP Image works on Windows but not Mac

I have a php file that generates a string image, the php file
changesheaders to jpeg and it becomes a image. In my code im
loading the .php file into a mc. In all windows browsers its
showing image correctly, but in Mac its coming up red.
If you view the php file it self it will display the image
correctly.. could it be a php.ini problem?

anyone able to figure this out yet ?

Can connect w/ PPPoE... but not route

Ok.. I've been working on this off an on for over a month and I have reached my end, I think.
Problem: I have a Linksys WRT54GL v1.1. My ISP (through cable, not DSL) requires a PPPoE connection. I can get the Router to successfully connect to the ISP and ping from the router... but I cannot get any traffic through the router to the internet. I've tried multiple devices, both wired and wireless. Below I have attached some screen shots.. hopefully someone smarter than I can spot my error.
PC's MAC address is cloned...
PPPoE connection established from the router...
I can PING the internet from the router...
I can PING the router from my PC...
But I can't ping the internet from my PC (through the router)...
Here is my network settings on the PC when attached to the router...
When I connect my PC directly to the modem, pppoe setup looks like this...
My network settings when directly attached to the modem...
And I can reach the internet when directly connected...
Any ideas?

Try a traceroute:
traceroute 64.233.167.99
traceroute 10.40.0.1
traceroute 10.40.32.1
See how far you get.
Otherwise this problem is difficult to troubleshoot through a forum. Your setup so far looks fully correct. If you run a firewall on the computer it may cause the problem. But other then that troubleshooting now would require to do some packet sniffing to find out how far packets get and/or what happens to the responses. This may indicate where the real problem lies. But computer and router seem to be set up correctly.
Beyond that you could try a factory reset pressing the reset button for 30 seconds. If there is an issue with the router configuration making the router operate like in router mode although it displays gateway mode this may solve your problem. Of course you have to set up the router again.
There may be a firmware upgrade available from the linksys web site for your router which fixes this issue.
Or change the mode to router mode, save the settings. Then change it back to gateway mode. Save the settings again. Maybe this fixes an incorrect setting in the router. You have to use gateway mode. In router mode you'll need a full IP address subnet from your ISP. As long as you use private IP addresses in your LAN you must use gateway mode.

Can connect to database on network but not through VPN

Hi,
When I'm on the office network I can sqlplus and remote desktop to to database server, but on the VPN I can't connect with sqlplus or remote desktop, but I can tnsping.
How can this be??

Hi Guys,
Hope some of you are still following this thread.
Spoke to the network guys and they are at a loss. They say that port 1521 is allowed through the vpn and firewall.
When I try to connect over the new JUNOS PULSE SVPN, I see in the listener log file that it established connection, but I think it can't see the client after it is allocated the temp listener port?
Any suggestions please?

Can connect to MySQL via localhost, but not remotely!

Hi all!
I got a problem that I think you guys could help me with :)..
I have installed JDBC to make it possible to link my Java programs with MySQL databases. The installation worked just fine.
When I'm running my program with line:
Connection connection = null;
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/chat", "*****", "*****");...it works without any problems. I can handle information from the tables, add posts, delete posts and so on.
But when I'm trying to connect from an another computer, from school for an example, it doesn't connect. JBDC says it can't fint the mysql jbdc driver.
When I'm using this way I uses the line:
Connection connection = null;
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://85.235.154.98:3306/chat", "*****", "*****");Like I said, this doesn't work at all.
How do I fix this problem?
Worth to mention maybe, is that I'm using Windows XP Home, and I have placed the mysql-connector-java-5.0.5-bin.jar in "C:\Program\Java\jre1.6.0_01\lib\ext"
I'm using Java version 1.6.0!
Please Help :)

But when I'm trying to connect from an another
computer, from school for an example, it doesn't
connect. So the database is on your home computer? And you are attempting to connect from the school?
JBDC says it can't fint the mysql jbdc
driver.Then it has nothing to do with connecting. That means your class path is wrong.
If it actually is a connection problem then you can do the following in a console window....
telnet 85.235.154.98 3306
There will be one of two results from the above after several minutes.
1. It will just sit there.
2. It will tell you it can't connect.
For 2 you have a problem that has nothing to do with java. Looking at your code will not fix it.
If it is 1 then something is wrong with your code and you should provide the exact exception.
