Can't get Internet through my own Network Connecti...

Hi, I have a HH3, which I am constantly having to switch off and on again for devices to connect to the Internet. It's been happening for months, and last week BT sent me a new hub, but it hasn't fixed the problem. It seems that our devices connect to the router, but the router doesn't connect to the Internet.
If I select the BT Wifi connection and log in via the Openzone homepage, I get Internet access. But this is not practical for all devices. My children can't play on their tablets and viewing / downloading TV on demand is pretty much impossible. And these were the main reasons for upgrading to Infinity.
I've had several conversations with call centre support staff, but the problem persists.
Can anybody tell me whether this is a settings issue that I can fix? My family is going nuts!

EDIT: As you initially posted on the Infinity board I have assumed you have infinity. If you only have ADSL this will not apply to you.
Make a direct connection from your PC/Laptop to the Openreach modem which will eliminate the homehub. Follow this guide to do that. Use your computer as normal to see if it disconnects. If it does disconnect you will know it is either a faulty modem or a line/exchange fault.
Step 1: Remove the homehub from the modem
Step2: Connect your pc/laptop into the modem using LAN1 port
Step3: Open network and sharing centre on windows and click set up a new connection or network
Step4: Connect to the internet then click make a new connection Broadband PPPoE
Step5: Username [email protected] and the password as BT
Step6: connect, If it doesn't,keep pressing try again until it does.

Can't get or send emails. Network connection is correct. Can't get Safari to work. Home PC is good to go...Any suggestions?

I hate this IPAD! I can't get emails or send them. I have deleted the account and put it back in - didn't work. I can't use Safari, because it says it's not connected to the internet. I have plugged and unplugged the PC and it is working fine - emails in and out and internet up and running. This has happened before and I was successful in getting back up and running. any suggestions

You cannot send or receive emails or visit web pages in Safari because your iPad is not connected to the Internet. They are related problems. From your description of plugging and unplugging your PC, I assume your PC is connected to your router by wire, not by wireless. So that is not going to be a good test of your wireless router, though it is a good test to see that the router is connecting to the Internet. I am, of course, assuming you have a wireless router. The problem could be the wireless setting in your iPad or could be the router itself.
On your iPad, go to Settings.
Is Wi Fi on? If not, turn it on and maybe that's all it needed. Also make sure Airplane Mode is off.
If Wi Fi was already on, click on Wi Fi and see if your router shows up on the list.
Post back here to tell us how it is going.

Can't Get Internet Through Time Capsule

I bought TC 500gb tonight, and went through the paper instructions:
Plugged everything I'll be running on it into the ports (my tivo network adapter, my g4, a usb hub w/ an external drive & a usb printer).
installed the disc into my macbook pro
proceeded to launch the airport utility
It followed the instructions the best I could, and it said at one point proceeding will cause a flashing amber light, do you wish to ignore it (and I chose to, for lack of any idea of what else to do).
Long story short: Neither computer is getting any internet in or out. Network seems to be fine, though-- I see time capsule and printing works and I can use my external usb drive, but NO INTERNET!!!
And there doesn't seem to be any way to go back and start over--- any suggestions?
I have Roadrunner internet, but the modem doesn't have a name on it. It is connected to the correct stuff on the back of the time capsule.
If not for the fact my neighbor has an open wireless, I doubt I'd be able to write this.
Please help. I'm very frustrated.

Hi,
Here's how we fixed it:
Push in the little button in the back of the time capsule with a paper clip or something for five seconds until it flashes amber rapidly.
Then open the airport utility, and also open your web browser--if you have internet working, and it is flashing amber, then click manual set up-- create a password for your wireless-- no need to mess with any of the settings to make them out of the ordinary or anything-- when you click update, it will say you have an incorrect setting regarding smpw, and there's an opportunity to unclick it-- do this, and then the time capsule will reboot, and the amber light will turn green, and your internet should work, if it is indeed the same problem I had-- they had never seen it before!
Good luck!

Can't get on to my own network

Set it up once. I've got one computer running 10.3.9 and a laptop running 10.4.?. Both could "find" the network in their airport pulldown menus.
Saw name of network in pulldown menu. Clicked on it. Didn't work. Tried "other" then found it in the pulldown menu. Clicked on it. Didn't work. Tried with both computers. Stopped. Odd, since green light was on.
Then I decided to try again. Green Light on again. Didn't work; my computer can find the base station, but can't access.
This time, I decided for the simple reset. Held down the reset button on the express unit for a second. I re-configured. New AirPort express password, turned on encrpytion, entered a new password for the network.
Still didn't work. Unplugged. Restarted computer. Nothing.
Next I reset everything. Held down reset button for five seconds. Opened up Airport Expres Setup Asssitant. Went though everything again, including encrpytion. Still didn't work. I was told "An error occurred joining the selected network."
Here's what I tried. Went to the pulldown menu for the airport, found the express base station. Tried to hold the mouse on the right one and let go. My computer couldn't recognize it. Then I opted for the WPA2 Personal password. This time, get the message "does not support the requested encrpytion method."--which is odd, since the setup let me choose WPA2 as my preferred method of privacy.
So, then I try to take that off, and then get "an error occurred joining the selected network. Tried both passwords. Nothing.
THen I re-opened setup assistant. Tried to change settings. When I try to join there, I get "an error occurred joining the selected network."
I wondered if it was the placement of the express base station. Tried another outlet. Same problems.
Wonder if it's the other wifi's nearby. There are five others within range of my computer. One is unprotected and I can get on it no problem on both computers.
I thought maybe it was a software issue. EVerything is up to date. Then I download software for the base station. WHich is easy, but since I get get to the wireless network, I can't load on the software. D'oh!
Don't know what to try next.
thoughts?

I should add that I'm using an airport express base station. If I get this one working, I want to set up a second unit to extend my range.

Allow Internet but block other network connections ?

I am using my Airport Extreme (b/g) only for connecting my Wii/Internet radio devices to the internet. I also have a NAS and my computers attached to the network but because the AE is set to WEP and I am worried it is too easy for someone to break in to it and get access to my shared data in the network.
My network is:
Netgear WNR3500L wireless router connected to:
DSL Modem
Netgear ReadyNAS
Netgear Powerline Adapter
Airport Extreme
So can I allow internet but no other network connections through the AE ?

My advise is..
If you do not have at least two game consoles behind this router, turn off UPnP in the router.
This is done in the router at Advanced -> UPnP.
By game consoles, any two..
#1 For example: X-box, PlayStation.
#2 A special type of computer with no keyboard or mouse. And it is usually connected to a TV.

How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.
4.       Select Network Setup.
5.       Select Wireless setup.
6.       Select Scan
7.       Select your network
8.       A new screen will appear asking for entering the security key.
9.       Enter your WPA2 key.
10.   Select Enter.
11.   It will take you back to the same screen asking for entering the
security key.
12.   Press the right arrow.
13.   Select Auto.
14.   Press the right arrow.
15.   Select Save and connect.
These instructions are not the same as shown on the TV but they worked fine for me so they may help others with a similar problem.

Can't get internet to work w/windows: DSL- Graphite

I am trying to get this home network to function, here is the problem.
The home network consists of the following:
DSL
Airport Graphite
Ibook G4
Win 2K PC
The G4 works fine, but i can't get internet on the Win2K machine. It even gets as far as having an IP assigned using DHCP, but then no internet.
Perhaps because the default gateway is missing?
I am able to connect to the base station it seems. The wireless connection comes up and shows that it is connected.
Thanks,
Nick

looks I'm having same problem
my Ibook G3 and ABS graphite working as perfect team, any way I set the DHCP in my network. BTW, here is it:
- DSL router (hired from ISP), web GUI, bad technical help; set with 192.168.1.1 private IP@, no DHCP
- ABS fw 3.84, manually set as 192.168.1.3, internally DHCPing addresses like 10.1.1.x with NAT
- iBook G3 700 with X 10.3.3 and airport card
- company laptop running W2K SP4 with D-Link DWL-G122 wireless adapter, always connecting to the network but unable to browse any web page
everything works fine (I'm writing this message wirelessly from iBook), looks there's no way PC can get an IP@, the wifi adapter can't reach DHCP server (as a result of a "ipconfig /renew [adapter name]"; it always gets automatically an IP@ like 169.x.x.x because no DHCP server is available.
I tried also the ABS to distribute IP@s in 192.168.1.x format (without NAT) but no change. I tried to work with ABS as simple bridge to router working as DHCP server, but PC cannot pass thru ABS... can connect only using ethernet cable to router directly
any suggestion GREATLY appreciated, since I'm working from home and I need to connect from 9 to 6 with PC!!!
thanks
Andrea (Mac newbie)
PS: ABS is configured on those two MAC@s only, I have also a PIII desktop running Mandrake Live, but by now will use the D-Link adapter on it

HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password. What am I doing wrong?

My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password.

If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
Click the Wireless Network Options button
Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

I HAVE AN IPAD 2 WITH WIFI ONLY, CAN I GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM ANY SMARTPHONE, OR DO I NEED A SPECIFIC PHONE FOR THIS?

i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone

I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy!

Can't get Internet to Linksys WRT54G using ARRIS TM502 modem (Cable ISP)

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now i can't get internet to the Linksys router. I can connect to it from a wireless laptop but just not get on the internet I've read other posts about doing the "clone mac" address and doing the power cycle but still cannot get the Linksys to respond. I enabled the WRT54G to clone the mac address and have spent about 10 hours in two days trying to get this to work and looking online, etc.... Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, leo

After talking to Comcast again and getting another support person who didn't seem to know much, I decided to take matters in my own hands. I connected new Linksys wrt160n to Arris tm502g, but left router power off. I then did reset button on Arris modem for 10+ seconds and let it reset. I powered up router and then powered up PC that I had plugged in port1. When I went to status on router I finally had gotten IP addresses from Comcast. I then plugged my switch into port 4 and checked other devices in the house and they were ok.
Hard to believe that no one from Comcast or Linksys seemed to have a clue on what to do when I talked to them.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully someone else will find this if they need it.

Can't get internet on my Ipad and Iphone

Hi,
I just got a new Time Capsule. It is now connected to my TIME WARNER CABLE modem and I am able to get wireless internet on my Mac. However I can't get internet on my iphone and ipad. Althought the light is green and everything seems to be fine. Any clues?

If you have not yet done a full modem reset, that would be the first step to perform.
Push the reset button on the modem (If present) and then power it off
Pull the battery from the modem (if easily accessible)
Power down every other device you have....order is not important
Wait for at least 30 minutes.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is plugged into the WAN port (circle icon) on the Time Capsule
Power up the modem and let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Power up the Time Capsule the same way
Power up each other networkdevice one at a time about a minute spart
Check for proper operation

TS2634 I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones.

I can only get sound through my ipad with the head phones. I haven't had this problem before. I upgraded about a week ago, but this is the first time the sound has been an issue. When I turn up the volume it shows that it is the volume for the headphones but I can't figure out how to adjust the volume for everything. I have rebooted.

Also try this if above doesn't work.
1. Plug and unplug my headphone jack into the iPad four times.
2. On the fourth time leave the headphone jack connected and rotate the plug clockwise, then remove and try your sound.

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

Can I get audio through iPhone when using apple tv?

What do you mean exactly? Are you wanting to output the audio to your iPhone while say watching a video on your Apple TV? If so, I'm afraid it's not possible. However, you should post this in the Apple TV forums for a better confirmation on then. There are some prettty knowledgable people who hang out there.
