Can't connect to internet (help!!!!)

I really don't know much about computers, but I have a mac and there is no mac dealer in town, so I can't ask them to help me. I am trying to connect wirelessly. There is another computer in the house, which uses ethernet and is equipped with a wireless router. The router is a D-link (DI-524 AirPlus G) which is supposedly compatible with macs. Airport is on, and working and sometimes 'connected to default', but I can't actually connect to the internet. I have tried many different ways to set up but often am at a loss for information, which apparantly tha administrator knows, but I am the administrator and I don't know. I don't know my password either. So yes, I need all the help I can get. (please..)

I'll give you some general advice, which applies to all manufacturer's wireless routers. If you attempt to get your Mac to connect to its wireless network (by clicking on the wireless name as it appears after you click on your Mac's Airport menu) and you are prompted for a password, what you need to enter is the WEP or WPA password that was previously configured on your router. If you cannot remember what that password is, you will need to access the router's configuration (you can do that from the other computer you have which is able to connect) and find out the password. At the same time, make a note to yourself as to what type of security the router was configured to use (either 40- or 128-bit WEP, or WPA).

Tiger 10.4 installed - can't connect to internet - HELP!

Recently installed Tiger 10.4 on an E-Mac 700mz with original airport card, I keep getting error can't connect to network, can anyone offer a suggestion, I've tried every option in the network connect at least 3 times

Open Network preferences in System Preferences. Select the built-in Ethernet port, click on the TCP/IP tab, select DHCP from the 'Configure IPv4' drop down menu then click on the Apply Now button. Next select Airport from the Ports drop down menu, click on the TCP/IP tab, select DHCP from the 'Configure IPv4' drop down menu then click on the Apply Now button.
If you are using a cable/DSL modem only connect an Ethernet cable from the modem to the Ethernet port on the computer. If you have a router connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the router to the Ethernet port on the computer.
Turn off the computer, router, and modem. Wait at least one minute then first turn on the modem and wait until the status lights indicate communication with the ISP. Next turn on the router and wait until the status light indicates communication with the modem. Last turn on the computer. You should now have an internet connection.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

I just had a similar problem. Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it. if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on. i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number.
My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2. The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router. I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it. BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

Can't connect to internet on my old g4 flat screen, network + airport ok

I installed an airport card on the g4 (dome) and connected to our wireless network, which gets a signal, (though the status is "not available"). I can't connect to internet (server not recognized), and every time I check the internet assistant app, the setting has been changed back to modem. The router is in the basement: my iMac is on the first floor and works fine, the g4 is on the second floor. Is that too far away? Do I need to update the g4? Two minis also work fine, one on first floor and one in basement. Any help appreciated.

Which iMac G4 do you have? Some iMac G4s are 802.11b while the later ones were 802.11b/g.
If your wireless network is configured for "802.11g only", the older 802.11b iMac G4 won't be able to connect.
If your wireless network is configured for "802.11n only", the iMac G4 won't be able to connect since it isn't compatible with that.

Can't connect to Internet via Airport

I have a PPPOE ISP account. Before upgrade to Lepoard, just fine. Now I can only connect to internet using cable via my router moderm. I cannot connect my wireless router.
The wireless router will appear to be connected but it said self assigned IP. If I hardcode an IP eg. 192.168.11.2 to it. The Airport status will become connected but still cannot dial into my PPPOE account. An message no PPPOE service will appear. But if I plug in the LAN cable, everything work fine. Why this happen? My wireless router work fine with my Window XP and my Mac (before upgrade to Lepoard) What configuration should I change? I am an idot to networking. I have download all patch and has tried boot to safe mode etc.
Anyone can help?

By power downs do you mean Sleep?
One thing that might work is to set the IP to Static in Network>Configure IPv4>DHCP with Manual Address.

IPhone 5 and 5c can't connect to Internet every 1 or 2 days with iOS 8.0.2

After having upgraded my iPhone 5 and my wife's iPhone 5c to iOS 8.0.2, they both can't connect to Internet every 1 or 2 days.
They can't connect via wifi neither via 3G.
If I restart the devices they start to connect again.
I tried to reset the network settings and also to restore the devices from scratch via iTunes like the Apple support suggested me, but the issue still persists.
I'm very frustrated also because I bought to my wife an iPhone telling her she wouldn't have had all the issues she used to have on a previous Samsung smartphone...
Anyone has having the same issue?

After the update, try resetting your cellular network settings on the phone. Make sure the airplane setting is correct and try shutting it on and off to see if that works.
See if that helps.
Good Luck!

WRT54G can''t connect to internet or 192.168.1.1

My router used to work. I updated the firmware to 4.21. xx and after that I can't connect to internet.
When I connect directly to modem, I can go to the internet . I power recycled etc but when I connect to the router, it says limited connectivity. It shows autoconfigurtion ip:169.254.251.135
I don't know why this is so.
I don't have the setup cd disk but I read the users' guide and it seems that I really don;t need the cd. But no matter what I do , I can't get to 192.168.1.1 .
Do I need a setup cd and where I can download?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks ,
Sankar

Do the 30/30/30 Hard Reset and then check the IP address on that computer. For the reset steps do the following:
The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set Router back to default values:
With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds....
If still you are getting same IP address then try to reduce the LAN card speed. Here is the step:
START--> right-click My Network Places and click Properties
right-click on the device and click properties
Click on the CONFIGURE button
Select the ADVANCED tab and the settings you can alter are listed on the left.

You don't need mobile me, you just need to know your mac's ip and have vnc
