Can't connect to Internet since 12/20/09??​?? PPP problem

I haven't been able to connect to internet here in Plymouth, MA since 12/19? Called numerous time to support and they say it is outage problems in area. My DSL light is steady on modem but when trying to connect the Internet light goes steady red!  Anyone else having this problem in South East MA area? Does it normally take over a week to correct?

Outages almost never last a week. Verizon can't afford to leave customers without service for that long. I would suggest contacting Tech Support again. If the agent tells you that it's just an outage, ask to speak to their supervisor.

  • Can't connect to internet..self assigned ip address problem with DSL Modem

    I've run into this before, without resolution, and now again on a friend's iMac. Time to ask around...
    Basically, everything appears to be assigned and configured perfectly, but the network status always shows, "...you have a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet". Sure can't connect to the net when it says that.
    I've gone thru the procedure advise before that details the sequence of events needed to insure the modem resets and recognizes the Mac and it's incoming DSL (sbcglobal) signal. The order of network priority is set properly by dragging built in ethernet to the top of the list. Modem was powered down, plugged in, and then connected to the Mac, but no solution. Any ideas? thanks

    This continues to be a mystery. I've had my powerbook on several networks, and connection has, most of the time, been an automatic process. Additionally, I've installed new systems for people with the same isp, and all has been well. So easy is the process, it's never been an issue. However, following explicit procedural instructions (including powering the Mac down), has proven unsuccessful on 2 different occasions.
    There is little help with the isp support in India, which is where the call routes too.
    The only thing I have not done is to swap out the cable at one of the locations, but the other location, which has the same issue, works fine on the iMac there. Only when I connect my Powerbook to the modem, does the "...self assigned ip address...not be able to connect to the internet" appear.
    I just keep thinking there has got to be a small detail that is being overlooked.

  • Can't connect to Internet since WEP enabled

    I'm using an Airport card in my iMac to connect to a 3rd party base station. It worked fine until I WEP enabled my router. My iMac's OS is at 9.2.2 and the Airport software is at 2.0.4. It accepts my password and appears to be connected to the network, but the Status continues to display "Status not available." What am I missing?

    You probably didn't enter the WEP key into the Mac in a format compatible to both the Mac and your router.
    The best thing to do is (a) enter the WEP key into your router as a 10- or 26-digit hexadecimal format WEP key, then (b) enter the same key on your Mac and prefacing it with the $ character.
    See the section titled "Airport client to third-party base station" at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106424

  • 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.

  • 5 out of 6 devices can't connect to Internet

    Just to preface,  this was all working hours ago.
    airport express,  Mac book pro, ipad, boxee box and Western digital live Nas all can't connect to internet.
    my Samsung Galaxy s3 has no problems however.
    normally if I can't get an ip address I would just say the Internet is down from the isp. But because I've got one device where it's working fine gives me cause to think otherwise.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    You want the device that is directly connected to the modem to furnish the PPPoE service.
    This is sounding like you had your Mac connected directly to your modem at one time, so in that type of setup, the PPPoE connection on the Mac would have been correct.
    But, since you have added the Time Capsule....and it is now the device that is directly connected to the modem.... the Time Capsule must be configured to provide the PPPoE connection service, not your Mac.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Your settings should look like this:
    Connect Using = PPPoE   
    Account Name = Your user name with your ISP
    Password = Your password with the ISP
    Verify Password
    Service Name.....leave this area completely blank
    Connection = Always On
    Disconnect if Idle = Never
    Update to save settings and the TC will restart
    Either delete the PPPoE connection on your Mac, or if  you want to retain it in case you need to connect your Mac directly to the modem at some point in the future, make that connection inactive.
    If you are connecting an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to your Mac, you want the Ethernet connection to be active on your Mac. This should happen automatically if the PPPoE connection is inactive or has been deleted.
    Be sure to power cycle the entire network at this point. Power all devices down, or der is not important.
    Wait a moment or two, then start the modem and let it urn for a moment by itself
    Start the TC and wait for a green light
    Then start each device one at a time until the network is back up

  • HT4628 some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?

    some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?

    Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
    I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
    As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
    Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

  • Can't connect to internet sharing

    Ever since updating to Mountain Lion on my iMac, I can't connect to internet sharing with my iPad 3.    Does anyone know how to get it to work?  I just get the message 'Unable to join the network 'xxxx'.
    I've tried setting up new networks, I've tried it with and without passwords, restarted both machines, and it still won't work. 
    However, my iphone4 connects OK.  Anyone else having this issue with the iPad 3?
    Thanks
    Bob

    It's so simple to setup and you have been using it in the past, but just in case, this is Apple' kb article about Internet sharing with Mountain Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740?viewlocale=en_US
    Have you rebooted your router or cable modem? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and plug it in again.
    You might be better off posting in the Mountain Lion forum if you haven't already done so.

  • 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 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!
