Can see wireless network enabled, but cant use internet explorer!

Hi,
I have an MSI Router (RG54G3) and I'm experiencing some problems trying to connect to the Internet. My computer detects very well the signal from the router, I can ping the router or any other machines connected to it, but when I try to ping for instance, www.google.com, I get nothing!
I've already tried every kind of router configuration (with no security, with WEP encryption, etc.), and still I can´t connect to the Internet.
I already set off the windows firewall thinking that might be it... but no.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?!

dannysearle, you should start your own thread rather than hijack another's.
Is the router connected to the modem properly? The router should be connected to the modem via a lan cable from the modem to the WAN connector on the router. The computers connect via the lan ports or wirelessly.
Does your ISP only allow one computer to connect to the service? Try to connect that computer directly to the modem to see it can get onto the net. Make sure you are running a firewall, windows or another before you do so. But, before you connect to the modem, turn the power off of the modem for a minute, plug it back in, let it get settled and then connect to the computer or turn on the computer. If you can get on the net, then you know it's not a modem issue. If you can't, then contact your ISP. Be
Okay, presuming you can get on the net when the computer is directly connected to the modem, let's try to address the router. Don't connect the router to the modem yet. Directly, physically, connect to the router with a lan cable to the computer that could access the net directly through the modem. Configure your router to clone the MAC address of that computer. Consult the manual for information about doing this. Once you've cloned the MAC address and applied the change, close your browser. Turn off the router. Connect the router to the modem, turn on or plug in the router and let it do it's setup. Once all the lights have settled, try to access the net.

Can see wireless network, excellent signal, yet no internet....Help!!

I have a wireless network that has been working fine for the last couple years. About a month ago, I ran into this issue: my laptops all see my network, register excellent signal, yet I can't do anything, access internet, my work VPN, etc. I had unplugged the phone/DSL connection at the wall to do some painting, and it hasn't worked since. I have a linksys router and worked with them to reconfigure it, but still no go. Any ideas??
Thanks!!

I can only connect to the internet with a wired connection to the DSL modem. When I try a wired connection directly to the router, it shows a LAN connection 100.0 Mbps, packets in and out, but Page Cannot Be Displayed. Similarly, my wireless shows connected, excellent signal, 54.0 Mbps, heavy packets in, but very little out and cannot get to Internet. Is the router bad? If so, why do I see that I'm connected both wired and wireless?? Thanks for your assistance!

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser.I can download pdfs using fire

Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

Gilad D,
Thanks for the support.
I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
I will try your proposed solution.

Wireless devices can see wireless network but not connect

Can anyone please assist? I have a WRT54GS v2. My wired computer accesses the Net fine and I can see MAC address, IP Address, DNS, subnet mask, default gateway in the linksys browser software. The devices can see the network with strong bars but cannot connect.
HELP!
Thanks,
Solved!

It is possible that the router could have encountered some wireless interference, doughboy17. You may try adjusting the wireless channels of the router. Use channels 6, 3, 1 and 11. Have you tried checking if you still have the correct Wi-Fi password?
If you have the correct network settings, try requesting for the firmware file and perform an update. That might help in resolving this matter. Or, you may proceed on doing a factory reset and configure the router again.

WRT54G router set up, Wireless network found, but cant connect.

I've had this router working for over a year but for whatever reason, it stopped working about a week ago. Powering off the router and cable modem usually works but not this time, so I attached a cable from a laptop to the router and tried to run the setupWRT54G setup CD. After step 7, it kept repeating itself in a loop... trying to reconfigure the router and asking for the password. Finally, I exited and the window message box said "Setup is not complete, continue exiting?" So I accessed the router setup thru IE via the cable: Http:\\192.168.1.1 and set up the network and gave it a new name, channel 7, etc. My wife can access the network from her work laptop via wireless, so its working for her. As for the other laptop and other desktop in our home, when we search for available networks, we can see out network and click "Connect", ... supply the router password that I issued in the router setup, but it says that it cant connect after a minute of trying. What have I done wrong? One laptop can access the network and two cant. Before last week, all 3 could access the wireless network. FYI - I downloaded and installed ther latest fimware from the LINKSYS website (V8.XX), but no difference. Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

Keep in mind that the router setup password is not the same thing as the encryption key that you use to connect wirelessly to the router.
If it works normally from your wife's computer, I'd be looking at the settings on your computer first, rather than the router's.
In network -> TCP/IP -> properties is it set to get an IP address automaticaly?
If the above aren't the issue, I would do a hardware reset of the router back to factory defaults and enter your settings again from scratch. That's a recommended step after upgrading or reloading the firmware anyway, even if you weren't having this trouble

Since you have a modem/router, you must continue to use the Beetel modem/router on your network.
The Time Capsule can connect to the Beetel modem/router using a wired Ethernet cable connection and produce a separate wireless network. You would NOT want the Beetel router and Time Capsule to both try to produce the same wireless network if they are located close together, since this will likely create interference problems that may prevent devices from connecting to either the Beetel orTime Capsule wireless network.
The exception to having the Beetel modem/router and Time Capsule produce the same wireless network would be if you can locate the Time Capsule at least a room or two away from the Beetel modem/router. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet or about 100 meters with no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere you want.
Are you able to consider this option?
Another option.....if you cannot locate the Time Capsule in another room......would be to configure the Time Capsule to use the same wireless network name and password as the Beetel network and turn off the wireless on Bettel modem/router.
Important.....there is no guarantee that the printer will be able to connect to the Time Capsule wireless network, so you should expect to start over and set up the printer again.
Yet another option would be to turn off the wireless service on the Time Capsule and use the Beetel wireless to back up your computers to the Time Capsule, which will act as a wired hard drive for the network. If you select this option, the Time Capsule can be located close to the Beetel modem/router.

The log in button to the Edmonton Public Library is on the top right corner of their web page. But I can not activate it. If I use Internet Explore I do not have this problem.

If I try to log in to the following site http://www.epl.ca/ it appears that the cursor is not working on the top of the screen. If I use Internet Explore I do not have this problem.

"'''''it appears that the cursor is not working on the top of the screen"'''''
Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

Can't Upload Large Files (Upload Fails using Internet Explorer but works with Google Chrome)

I've been experience an issue uploading large (75MB & greater) PDF files to a SharePoint 2010 document library. Using normal upload procedures using Internet Explorer 7 (our company standard for the time being) the upload fails. No error message is thrown,
the upload screen goes away and the page refreshes and the document isn't there. I tried upload multiple and it says throws a failed error after a while.
Using google chrome I made an attempt just to see what it did and the file using the "Add a document" uploaded in seconds. Can't figure out why one browser worked and the other doesn't. We are getting sporadic inquiries with the same issue.
We have previously setup large file support in the appropriate areas and large files are uploaded to the sites successfully. Any thoughts?

File size upload has to be configured on the server farm level. Your administrator most likely set
up the limit to size of files that can be uploaded. This size can be increased and you would then be able to upload your documents.

Can See Wireless Network, But Can't Connect

I am able to see the linksys wireless network under my wireless options, but when I try to connect, it says there was an error joining the network. I have been able to connect before with no problem. Two other wireless enabled computers in my house are able to connect to the network, but not mine. If I plug into the ethernet port on the wireless router, I can get internet. I've already tried the instructions from the "Getting Association (signal strength), but no Internet access" article, but nothing changed. Also I've upgraded the firmware and restarted both the router and my computer, but nothing helped. I don't know of anything that I did to my computer from the day it was working to the day to the day it stop working. I have Mac OS 10.4 fyi. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is it my computer that is the problem or the router?

After you upgrade the firmware in the router, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
Also, in the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall, and see it this helps.

MacBook can see wireless network, but can't connect; no error message

This one has got me stumped: my father has a new D-Link wireless router. His Windows laptop connects to it just fine, but neither of our Apple laptops (an old PowerBook G4 and a brand new MacBook Pro) will connect to it. The network does appear in the Airport menu, but when I select it, nothing happens. It pauses for a second, and then I'm left disconnected from all wireless networks. No error message, no connection, no check appears next to the network's name. No security of any kind is enabled, and I've turned off "n" support on the router. I'm at a loss, and can't seem to find anyone with similar problems. Any ideas?
The console gives me the following:

Can see my networked ibook but greyed out after trying to connect

When I try to connect to my networked ibook everthing looks normal at first - I can see it in the network window, after selecting it I choose connect, enter user name and password and click ok, I select the name of the volume to mount from the list and .... well, normally within moments I would make the connection, see the HD etc. Now, suddenly, nothing happens. If I try again, this time after pressing connect I see the volume to mount list as before but the choices are greyed out. Any ideas?

Can see wireless network, can't connect. HELP!

I have an iMac 1GHz PowerPC G4 running 10.3.1 that I just installed an AirPort card into. I can see my wirless network, but I cannot connect to it. The password is correct, but I keep getting the error "There was an error joining the selected AirPort Network". Please help!

I'm not positive on this, but it might be a encryption compatibility problem between your network and your AirPort Card. I believe that OS 10.3.x is only capable of the basic encryption WEP, and not the the more modern encryptions WPA and WPA2. I also think if you upgrade to 10.3.9, that might help get you into WPA encrpytion but it still not up to WPA2 that many modern networks now use. Then there is 40 bit and 128 bit encryption, and I can't help you there with that.
There are two iMacs with a G4 1Ghz chip, the 15" model M9285LL/A or the 17" model M8935LL/A. Both of these are AirPort Extreme ready. Did you use an AirPort card or an AirPort Extreme card? Perhaps this might be a conflict.
There are WiFi protocols like IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (with each letter signifying a different protocol). I'm pretty sure the original AirPort card on worked on IEEE 802.11a/b. That might be a problem.
I have an old Tangerine iBook running 10.2.8, that I can't use anymore on WiFi because it couldn't handle the encryption.
I hope some of these might be helpful.
Good luck.

I can see my external harddrive but cant access it.

I have a macbook pro, and a 1.5TB external hard drive. It works fine on my pro, but when I try and put it into a friends macbook pro i cant seem to access any of the files. It comes up on the desktop, and I can see the 4 folders inside it, but I cant open them or anything like that.
We have very similar computers (I'm not sure of the specifics but they are both pros) and mine doesnt have any problems with it.
Can anybody help?

Hi Taylor
The format is Windows NT File System (NTFS).
To be more specific, I want to put some of his albums onto the HD and then put them back onto my computer. When I try to move something it says... "XYZ could not be moved because "External 1.5Tb Cannot be Modified."
Hope this helps a little.
Thanks.

8gig ipod touch screen not lighting up can see if look closely but cant slide the unlock or anything either will not show up in my itunes either

ok so i turned on my ipod but the screen stays dark if look closely at an angle you can see the screen but doesnt light up
cannot slide the unlock slide to unlock and when plug in it doesnt come up in itunes
and help would be greatly appreciated

Try:
- A reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have a problem then it is likely a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
