Can't connect to internet w/ Graphite ABS via ADSL modem

Hi,
I'm trying to get my parents set up with a wireless net connection using my old graphite ABS & airport card with his G3 iMac (I'm not sure of the precise model, it's a graphite case and I think it was the last one before the flat panels were introduced) and a new ADSL modem (D-Link DSL-300T).
- The ADSL modem is working and can get a working internet connection (verified by connecting it directly to the Mac via Ethernet).
- The ABS seems to be working, and can "talk" to the modem because it is possible to navigate into the modem's setup screens in Safari via the Airport connection.
- All Airport and network status screens/messages say the Airport is working and connected to the internet via Ethernet.
- I have checked all the modem and ABS settings with the ISP, modem manufacturer, and against my own working setup (using the same model of modem, an Airport Express, a G4 iBook and G5 iMac).
- I have tentatively ruled out a DNS problem by trying to navigate to web pages using the "numbers" (with help from the ISP) but still had the same problems.
- In every case when trying to navigate to any internet page (using its domain name or "numbers") Safari says it can't find the server.
- We've tried the old switch everything off and then back on again in the order modem -> ABS -> iMac with no success (waiting for each component to fully start up before switching on the next).
What am I doing wrong? And/or what else can I try?
I'd be extremely grateful for any help, as at the moment I feel like I've let my parents down by failing to get this working for them.
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi,
The connection to the ISP is fine as when a Mac (his iMac or my iBook) is connected directly to the modem via Ethernet we can connect to the internet.
So the modem seems to be working fine, the problem seems to be the ABS sitting in the middle.
(The ISP requires PPPoA but this is all correctly set up in the modem).
I'd be grateful for any further advice.
Thanks, Darren

Can't connect to internet with new wireless n "Extreme" modem

I've had a D-Link DI-604 router for about 4 years-- and wanted to go wireless with an Apple Extreme but first have borrowed my neighbor's D-Link DIR-635 to just see if this will work in my brick house etc. (3 stories, lots of cement and brick...)
Well I get as far as the 192.168.0.1 and then "clone" my MAC address (nothing to do with a Macintosh that...). Note: I was using the same computer to connect to the internet as I previously had used with the D-Link DI-604.
I also give a manual (easy-to-remember) 5-letter password to my wireless connection--
But although this "reboots" the modem, it does NOT let me connect to the internet...
So I'm back to my D-Link 604 cable (wired) only...
One thing the set-up asked for is my HOST name. The only thing I see in the Network System Preferences is an ethernet number: 00:16:cb:cd:6c:3e but I don't find a "HOST" name-- and is that really needed? (In Belgium I'm using an ISP provider "VOO")
Any comments really appreciated-- I could actually see a fairly strong signal from the wireless router (I named it "SteveHermee" and I could see strong bands even from the top floor, with router in the basement...)-- but I could never connect to the internet via CABLE (wired) or wireless.
Thanks,
Steve

1. Is anybody else having this problem
2. How do we fix
I already changed the time zone east coast US - did not change anything
Could it be a corrupt program - thus requiring to reinstall program Application manager

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.

depending on your experience level should tell you all you need to know.
You don't need mobile me, you just need to know your mac's ip and have vnc
client software of some sort running on the machine you are travelling with.
Read the entire article, as once you get past the part about monitoring multiple machines there is some useful info.

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!

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

Can't connect to Internet after sleep mode

Hi,
Most times after put my iBook in sleep mode and reopen it, I can't connect to Internet. I use a normal cable connection by ethernet, but at these times, when I check the network status, it says I don't have any cable connected. The modem apears to be OK, with the computer's light on. I plug off and plug in the cable and it doesn't change and it happens the same when I click in DHCP renew - it just doesn't give any IP adreess. I need to restart the computer to get the connection again.
Ibook G3 700 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am trying other solutions today.
It can not change to another wifi network without switch off the wifi.
That's mean I have switch off and re-open the wifi signal every time when it show like this capture.
I waiting for more than 5 mins and it will search another wifi network automatically but it still "No internet connect".
My MacBook Pro is no any WiFi issues.

Airport card working but can't connect to internet

hi all,
airport card (just plain airport card) is working and is connected to a verizon fios router. signal very strong. just can't connect to internet via safari, camino or firefox. running 10.3.9 os. i've rebooted twice to no avail.
altho, i can connect on my g4 powerbook using the same router.
why isn't the g4 flat panel imac connecting? any ideas?

In the Network system preference panel, is the wireless component
selected and in the list of items in the configuration the Mac sees?
You can drag the item(s) into preferred order of use, if there is more
than one, ie: dialup modem, ethernet connection, airport base.
If both computers have a similar operating system, it may be an
idea to look carefully into each, and not change anything in the
one which appears to work correctly; to look for differences.
Does the wireless router provide support for 802.11/b as well
as wi-fi 802.11/g? The older airport card runs on the older spec.
