Can't get email over my (and only my) wifi.

Hi there,
I discovered the other day, whilst happily spinning tracks in iTunes from the other end of the house using Remote, that I can't check my email while connected to my wifi network. This happened whether or not I had WEP enabled, after a re-boot of my modem, and so on. Today, I took a look at the IP, router, and DNS numbers that the iPhone (and incidentally, my MacBook) show when I'm connected to my wifi. The IP is 10.0.2.1; the router and DNS are 10.0.2.2. Obviously, these are not what would be expected (when I connect to my neighbours open wifi, I get an 192.x.x.x IP); and I'm surprised that I can manage to surf, use Maps, and so on: but I can. I just can't connect to my provider's POP server.
I wouldn't have posted this, but I can't find anyone else's story that quite matches it; and it's frustrating all **** out of me.
Thanks for reading.

If your iCloud email keeps prompting you for your password I would suggest you contact iCloud support: https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action.  If your iPhone 5 is less than 90 days old the support call should be free.

  • Can't get email over wifi at home, but can at work.

    Okay, I think this is a problem with settings on my time capsule, but I can't figure out what. On my iPhone 5 and wife's iPad I can get email over the cellular network and over wifi at work. I can't get email over wifi at home, get a can't connect to server error. Also had a friend, who uses the same ISP, try with his android phone - same error, but works over wifi at his house. Since I can get email over cellular and wifi at work, I'm fairly confident that I have the server settings correct. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Was facing a similar issue with my friend's iPad (Latest one). Forcing the DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 (I think Google's DNS servers) fixes this issue. I had faced something similar on my iMac a long time back. Something a little strange about how Apple products do a DNS lookup? Not sure if it is an issue with the response time of the DNS servers as well..
    In any case, the good news was changing it to 8.8.8.8 worked.. Luckily the iPad's network configuration tool allows you to navigate to the pane where you can see the DHCP supplied IP addresses and just go to the DNS field, delete what was present there and force it to this address.
    The difficulty in coming to this conclusion was the fact that the browser works fine for all the sites we had tried. It is mostly the apps that had trouble, and the App store also was inconsistent in reporting details..

  • Can't get email over shared net connection. Please advise.

    I have two laptops, a G4 powerbook and an iBook. My G4 is connected to the net via an ethernet cable and I want to share that connection via airport with my wife's iBook.
    I have followed the directions for sharing the G4 connection and it works fine. I can use Safari on the iBook to surf the net, but the problem is I can't access the email server specified in Mail on the iBook. It won't connect to the server. The iBook and has a different email account and a different server from the one specified in Mail on my G4.
    Is there some option in sharing that I should check besides web sharing? Or is there something else I need to do? Please advise.
    Thanks.

    In the sharing control panel under the "services" option there is no Internet Sharing. There are a slew of options, one of which is "personal web sharing". According to the help menu I need to turn this on to allow the iBook to access the net through my G4. This works. However, the iBook can't get to its mail server to download emails.

  • IMac Yosemite 10.10.1 Thunderbird 24.6.0 24 hours ago lost in/out email. Checked everything. Can still get email on IPhone and older Power Mac G5 on 10.5.8

    This has happened once or twice before but a restart of the Mac or the router seemed to fix it. There is another PowerMac with the same problem.

    "2MEM/1/4: DIMM3/J14"
    Replace the memory in the DIMM 3 slot.
    If you are running Mac OS X 10.5 you can use this program to test your G5's memory:

    It will subject your RAM to a more thorough test than Apple Hardware Test.

    Hello bluechalk,
    I'd recommend restarting your iPhone. If you're still unable to proceed, I would recommend resetting the device.

  • I get "can't get email-fail to connect to server" msg constantly when I am connected and getting mail . Have to click ok.

    I just started getting two messages on my IPad and IPhone I can't get rid if .
    1. " can't get email - connection to server failed " when I am connected and getting email . Have to click ok .
    2. " pass word required " when it is not, have to cancel this constantly .

    Hello John,
    this problem could probably be caused by a Firefox extension.
    To make sure that no extension is causing the problems,
    start Firefox in Safe Mode by following the instructions in the [[Safe Mode]] article.
    Kind regards,

  • Can't get email to go out after updating ios5. Settings look ok can receive incoming and can get to Internet   Help

    Is this a POP account, or an IMAP account? Did you enable your account type in Gmail?
    You can verify whether or not you did (and enable it if you didn't) by logging into Gmail on the web. Then, open the 'Forwarding and POP/IMAP' tab on your 'Settings' page, and configure IMAP. After enabling IMAP in Gmail, make sure you click 'Save Changes' so Gmail can communicate with your mail client.

    Hi there morinallen,
    Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here to ensure there are no software conflicts:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!

  • TS3899 I just installed the latest software update on my iPhone this weekend (9/22/12), and now I can't get email. I've restarted and closed all my apps to no avail. I'm able to get email on my laptop, so it's not a problem with my provider. Any ideas?

    Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
    When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
    Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
    After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
    It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
    Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.

    Hi tania184,
    Have you contacted your email provider to make sure there are no problems on their end? If they say their email servers are working properly, check the outgoing and incoming mail servers entries on your iPhone to make sure both are entered correctly. Enter the outgoing mail server even if the account setup indicates that is optional.
