Can't connect to internet through router

I have a WRT54G v6. I can connect to the internet when directly connecting through my cable modem. When using a wired or wireless connection through the router, I can connect to the router, have an IP address and DNS Server, have followed all the troubleshooting steps from linksys and still cannot get online. Have tried using windows xp and max os x. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

This worked for me maybe it will for you. Power everything down including your modem and router. Then power up the router, wait 2 minutes, and them power up the modem, wait 2 minutes and laslty power up your computer and try your connection. It's an agaonizingly simple slution to a problem that i worked on for 12 hours straight. Hope it helps.

Can't connect to internet through netgear95 router

Can't connect to the internet through a netgear95 router. my PC connects to internet ok, none of my apple stuff (iphone/ ipad) will connect though. Must be something in settings on router.

Hi Scott,
Do you have any Wireless devices that connect to the router? I'm assuming that your PC may connect via Ethernet cable?

Can't connect to internet through WRT54G

I can connect to the internet through DSL modem but cannot when going through the WRT54G. All lights on router lit correctly. Actually set up this router 6 months ago or so and worked both wired and wirelessly for awhile. Then could only access internet wirelessly with laptop. Started messing with the router to get it to work wired with desktop but now won't work. Can access the router set-up page but not sure what to change. Saw somewhere to change the routers IP address to 192.168.2.1 didn't solve the prblem. Have tried restoring factory defaults, recommended power on/off sequences (modem, router,pc) and holding reset button for 30 seconds. Also tried Easy connect tool on the Linksys site. Icon in lower right of pc screen indicates status as connected but still cannot connect to internet. Any help is very much appreciated.

I had the very same problem with the same model router. It turned out to be the Security setting in Internet Options. The security setting was on Medium. After changing it to Medium-Low, I could connect to the internet through the router.
If you are not familiar with changing the Security setting, let me know and I will reply with the steps to take.

Can't connect to internet through Airport Express anymore

Suddenly, my PowerBook can't connect to the internet through Airport Express. Monday late afternoon--everything was fine. Put it in sleep, come back a few hours later, can't connect.
Thing is, Airport/wireless is working. Can stream audio to my home stereo.
And the DSL/modem are working. If I connect the machine via ethernet directly, I'm online.
Saw that some other users began having problems with USB/printer connections Monday. Could my problem be related?
What gives?
Any ideas?

Hello mnkyby. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It sounds like your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in not getting a proper IP address from your modem.
Try this ...
o Connect to the AX's wireless network, and then, run the AirPort Admin Utility.
o Go to the Internet tab.
o Note the value for IP address. (Note: Do not list it here on the forum, just note what it is.)
o Is the IP address what you would expect from your ISP or is it something like: 196.254.x.x?
If the latter, try the following ...
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
o Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, AX, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
o Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AX; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)

Mac connected on internet through router on PC

My Mac (g4, tiger 10.4.4) is connected to the internet with an Ethernet cable that goes into a router connected on a PC (Windows XP). The PC is next door.
The PC receives Internet and sends it to me afterwards through the router. Now, I'm planning to host a website on my G4. How can I find out what the address people and myself will have to type in order to reach my website?
Is this possible first of all? The PC in this case, is that what they call a proxie?
Do I have to add another address in my TCP/IP settings?
Also, with this setting, can I access my Mac through FTP?
Newbie at networking...
Thank you

Mac Book pro can't connect to Internet through Apple airport extreme base station

I had problems connecting to the internet in the past with my macbook pro. One day it suddenly started working again but then I bought a second apple TV I lost connectivity. I have tried changing the IP address manually and while it shows me connected to the wifi I am still with out internet. When I hooked up the new Apple TV that I bought it booted my computer from it's ip address. The apple TV though wouldn't work and now nor would my computer. I ended up setting the Apple TV's ip address manually and now it works fine. My computer on the other hand does not no matter if I set it manually or not. Even if I plug in the ethernet cable from the base station it doesn't work. It show that it has a self assigned IP address. After I set it manually it shows that I am connected both via wifi and the ethernet cable but I can't connect to the internet. If I plug the modem directly into the computer bypassing the base station I get internet and it is using the IP address that worked originally.
It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer but this is odd considering every other device I have: iPhone 4, apple tv, apple tv, apple mini with retina display all work perfectly via wifi (newest apple tv had to be set manually as I stated above but now works fine). When I check the ip of the base station itself it seems to be different from the ip of the computer when the computer was connected directly to the router. I don't understand why my computer now can't connect to the internet via the base station whether it be wifi or by ethernet. Can you please help me trouble shoot this?
I have an AirPort Extreme base station which allows up to 50 users and a 30 meg connection speed.
I have a MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

It has something to do with the connection from the base station to my computer
I don't think so..
I just posted a reply which totally vanished.. strange strange website now.
Please post some screenshots of your AE setup from the airport utility.. I want to see the summary page, then the network and internet tab.
Please tell us what modem you use.. is it a router??
If you have satellite or 3G wimax etc service they often are limited to 5 IP addresses... the AE takes one and then 4 more devices can join .. no more.
You need to also give us the screenshot of the IP you are getting in a computer that works.
EDIT
Sorry this is half double post.. the previous page refused to display.. now it has returned..

Can't connect to internet through airport extreme but have full signal

I've seen a lot of posts but I still can't connect wirelessly via airport extreme.
Using a Powerbook running 10.6.4, I have updated the airport extreme's firmware and have a full signal strength, but I can't connect to the internet.
I get an error message that it can't find the server.
I can get online if I connect the internet cable directly to my computer.
so..
Airport is working
Internet is working
Wireless is not working
suggestions?

That's not possible. Do you mean "MacBook"?
I ... have a full signal strength, but I can't connect to the internet.
First try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in this message:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10695921&start=1
They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take a minute or so to try.
If that doesn't help, connect to your wireless network, then open the Network panel of System Preferences. Select the AirPort connection item, click on the "Advanced" button, then on the "TCP/IP" tab. What do you see for the three values below "Configure IPv4"? Now click on the "DNS" tab. What do you see for "DNS Servers"?
Finally, type this URL in the address bar of your browser:
http://74.125.157.99/
and press "return". Does that take you to Google? If so, there's something wrong with the way your computer or router is handling DNS lookups.

Can't connect to Internet through working WiFi connections

My system is constantly getting bad IP addresses from wireless base stations. Problem started while I'm traveling. At last location, of my three computers my PC would connect, but the two Macs kept having problems. Both worked at first, but then one or the other would get 169. IP addresses. One would seldom connect after restarting. The other would eventually get a good address.
I'm now at location number two. My Mac connected once, but now keeps getting bad IP addresses. Two PCs are working here, and so is another Mac. Restarting, running diagnostics, resetting the modem, and trying to renew the DHCP lease are all not working. Very frustrating.
I launched iChat on both Macs but mine can't see the other Mac. My Mac says I'm connected to the network, but can't surf the internet. Tried to manually enter IP numbers but that didn't work either.

For clarity, the 169. addy is not bad, it's self assigned, as is usual when it can't find any being handed out.
Try making a New Location as a test.

CAn't connect to Internet Through Time Capsule-Self Assigned IP Adress

My iBook battery died. After connecting to power source, I can't connect to the internet. I get a message that the iBook is self assigning the IP address. How do I correct this? I've removed the battery & done several restarts with no success.

Here's 10.4 directions, not to different from 10.5, see if it helps...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

Mac connected but PC can't connect to internet through Airport Extreme

When I was using a dial-up connection everything worked fine on both computers but since I changed to a PPPoE / Ethernet connection my PC using Windows XP can't connect to the internet although is connected to the Airport with excellent signal.
In System Preferences>Network I have Connect using PPPoE option checked so I can't see my airport in the Airport Admin Utility. Apple Talk is Inactive.
In System Preferences>Sharing>Internet: Internet sharing is Off and there's a text that it can't be turned on "because there are no ports available over which to share your connection"

I understand, but for some reason, that I'm trying to
figure out, when I uncheck the PPPoE option on my
computer and my base station appears in the Admin
utility, I loose my internet connection on the
macintosh although the Network Status says that I'm
connected to the internet via Airport...
You will need to configure the Airport to connect via PPPoE.

Satellite C655D-S5533 can't connect to internet through ethernet (wireless connection ok)

I can't get an ethernet connection thru my ISP's (Comcast) internet cable box. I clicked the LAN icon on control panel but still can't connect.

First, reboot the Comcast box and then reboot the computer. If it still doesn't work, look in Device Manager under Network Adapters. If the LAN adapter shown there is Atheros, reinstall using THIS driver. If it says something else, post back. I'm assuming you are still using Windows 7 64 bit that came with the machine.

Can't connect to internet through Airport network

Previously - worked
Internet: DSL
Network: via Airport Extreme
Computers: 3 (G4 Tower, PowerBook G4, Xbox360)
Setup: I ran the ethernet cable out of the modem into the Aiport Extreme. Then I ran another ethernet cable into a router which then split the signal into two lines -- one going to the tower and one going to the Xbox. The laptop connected wirelessly. This worked using DHCP assigning multiple IP addresses to all on the network and indeed the two computers surfed the net with ease and I had no problems connecting or staying on Xbox Live.
Currently - doesn't work
Internet: Cable (Charter)
Network: same
Computers: same
Problem: I recently switched from DSL to Cable internet for faster speed. Here is what i found: When i connect the ethernet cable directly into the tower from the modem i can access the internet. If i connect the ethernet cable directly into the PowerBook G4 i get nothing. If i try to connect the ethernet cable to the Airport from the modem i get nothing as well. At first all i thought i had to do was change the account settings from that of the DSL to that of the Cable internet -- only there are no account settings for the Cable internet. I literally just plugged in the cable and was ready to go. I have tried resetting my airport to get rid of my previous [DSL] settings and redoing the Airport Setup Assistant to no avail.

ok so i unplugged my modem for a few minutes and then plugged the ethernet into the airport and turned the modem back on. now i can get internet on both my laptop and my tower. that works, thanks!
an odd aside tho is that before, when i was connecting through PPPoE, the laptop would automatically connect to my network (regardless of how many networks the airport card was picking up). now that i have the airport set to just connect via ethernet i have to manually log onto my network every time. is there a setting i'm forgetting about that enables automatic log in or is this just the case with connecting via ethernet?
here is the next problem, though. i bought a wireless adapter for my 360 and it cannot detect my network. it detects two other different networks that are in my complex but not mine. i have no idea if this is an airport issue or a 360 issue as powerbooks just automatically detect an airport base station. i have tried testing it in the same room as the airport with no luck. the only way i have connected to Xbox Live so far was to hard line an ethernet cable to the 360, shut the modem off, turn it back on and connect that way. if anyone knows anything about the 360 or has had similar problems trying to get their 360 up and running wirelessly through an airport please let me know

Can't get on internet through router

I recently got a Netgear router (WGR614v6) from my son. They used it on a mac so I know it works. What I need is to have the router hardwired to my G5 imac and wireless for a PC laptop for my husband. I have a DSL modem. I have gone back and forth with Netgear, reconfiguing it at least 4 times, upgrading it, restarting everything numerous times, and now they say it is a problem with the imac. I can't get on the internet at all hardwired to the mac. I can with the PC. I had it configured so that the laptop was online with wireless, however I cannot use the iMac online then. I tried the setup disk and the iMac does not recognise it. I have tried configuing the router through the iMac and it will not connect. There has to be a setting somewhere I am missing. Please help, this is frustrating!

Can't connect to printer through Router - Help!

Brand new to Mac & getting frustrated. I have a SMC router with a Pixma ip6600D connected to the usb port on the router. I can connect to the internet without a problem and the printer works fine if I plug it directly into the MacBook. However I cannot get the Mac to find it via wireless. I downloaded the Gimp drivers (there is no ip6600D on the list). Apple has no clue, Canon was no help, and neither was SMC. I have spent over 12 hours on the phone with various Tech support folks with no answers. Nobody can suggest a work around or even whether or not a new router will solve the issue. By the way, my laptop PC and desktop PC's work fine interfacing with the router and printer. So much for the "I'm a Mac and I'm as PC" commercials being accurate! Help, anybody!!! Thanks.

If the printer setup utility in OS X can't find it automatically, do a manual setup by clicking the + symbol in the printer preferences window, then click the IP option at the top of the panel. You can then enter the printer's network IP address and other information manually.

Can't connect to internet via router and airtunes at the same time

Can anyone help me connect to the internet via my BT Homehub, and play AirTunes through my Airport base station at the same time? I can only seem to do one at a time.
I've seen the articles about setting up clients etc but don't get it. Using the Airport Assistant utilty doesn't really help either. Would like someone to go through the steps I need to follow.
Thanks

To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
AirPort tab
- Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
- Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
- Wireless Network: <select your BT Homehub wireless network>
Music tab
- Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
- Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
- iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
- iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
- Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
