Can't get my wired internet working

As the topic sujests, I can't get my wired ethernet working.
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.2, I have a Linksys WRT54G router
configured to automatic DHCP.
I go into my iMac's System Preferences > Network > Ethernet.
I should be able to select DHCP from the configure menu and the router
should give me my IP address. I went into the router's settings and put my computers MAC address in, and it has assigned my iMac an IP. But on the iMac,
it doesn't come up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried that.
The way I got it to work is: I set the "configure" to manually. Then I entered the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server, and Search Domains. And now it works. Thanks for your suggestion though.

    So if you are ONLY carrying an iPad, you are stuffed! Can anyone help to confirm this?
    thanks very much
    Incorrect. I took a new, never before opened Airport Express to Japan with me. I configured it with the aforementioned Airport  Utility which I had downloaded to my iPad before I left. It took lestt then 5 minutes to set up.

  • I can't get the volume to work when I use firefox. It does work on internet explorer. What is going on?

    I downloaded firefox in order to do some online training that I couldn't open in any other browser. I can't get the volume to work in this browser. I can use internet explorer and the volume works. But I can only do the training through firefox.

    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
    Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />

  • Can't get video chat to work outside of LAN...

    Hello,
    I can't get video chat to work.
    All computers, LAN and WAN are running the latest iChat under 10.4 (including latest updates).
    Within our LAN, via Bonjour, everything is fine.
    I'm now trying to set up an offsite Intel iMac (10.4) and I can't connect via video chat with them.
    I've had this problem in the past and eventually gave up (so much for "it just works" - I've spent the last 10+ years dealing with Macs and Mac-based networking, I can't imagine "my dad" figuring this all out). Trying again with fingers crossed...?
    If someone could help, it'd be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kristin.
    The studio router/firewall is a SonicWall TZ 170 Standard.
    This router has a static IP.
    All suggested ports on the SonicWall are set up correctly to allow in/out from our LAN.
    All computers on the LAN have static IP addresses.
    Quicktime streaming settings set as suggested.
    OS X Firewall on all computers = OFF.
    No iChat add-ons on any computers.
    Internet connection speed = 7404 kb/s
    The offside router/firewall is a LinkSys WRT54G
    This router does not have a static IP.
    DMZ is ON and set to the only computer connected to it.
    Computer has a static IP address.
    Quicktime streaming settings set as suggested.
    OS X Firewall on all computers = OFF.
    No iChat add-ons on computer.
    Internet connection speed = 5116 kb/s
    If any more information is required to help you help me, just let me know!

    Does the TZ170 have UPnP or Port Triggering then ?
    I can not see that it does here
    Opening the ports in the manner listed on that link will only allow one computer (IP) to use the open ports.
    The Linksys is router and you have not mentioned what the modem is doing at that end.
    Why not use UPnP here ? The Linksys does it (on the Administration page)
    Most likely this needs the Respond to Anonymous Pings checked on the Security page.

  • Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode...

    I installed Time Capsule TC to my exsisting network, that has a Linksys router.  Can't get my TC to work in Bridge mode.  Suggestions?
    I have the TC directly connected to the router and want to use the TC for wireless Time Machine back ups and to share other hardrives via
    the network.  I also have an old airport express for airplay speakers in one room.  And an airport extreme that I thought I had set up to extend
    the network wirelessly.  I have yet to find a concise and clear list of steps to make this happen. 
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Holly

    The problem is the steps changed with the new airport utility..
    I can tell you the steps on a 5.x utility. If you run Lion then download the real tool.

    Go to manual setup.. internet tab.. connection sharing.. select off, bridge mode.. update the TC..
    Wasn't too hard was it.

  • HT5628 I've downloaded bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but I can't get a wireless internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I've downloade bootcamp 5 to run windows 7 but i can't get the wireless internet to work. It does not seem to recognise it. Without the use of the internet the software that i want to install i.e sage instant accounts will be useless. Can anyone help please? i also have a problem of ejecting the cd disc. i press the normal eject button and nothing happens. The only way i could eject the windows 7 disc was to toggle to the mac side of the computer and it would eject from there. Does anyone know how to do this from the windows side?

    You have not installed the Boot Camp drivers.
    Start up in OS X and download the Windows support software from this site > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 Follow the steps of the link except the ones to install Windows.
    Then, start up in Windows and install the Windows support software

  • IPad can't get in the internet via a WPA2 Enterprise setup

    I've seen some similar posts and no real answers. My Office just got set up with Wireless, it's cisco gear and using RADUIS to authenticate. What they told us to do on the windows boxes was this:
    Connect to the SSID
    use WPA2 Enterprise Authentication
    TKIP Encryption
    Use PEAP Authentication
    Uncheck the "Validate Server Certificate"
    Authentication Method is EAP-MSCHAP v2 on the PEAP properties screen
    Following these instructions on Windows 7 I can get on the network.
    I tried this on my iPad:
    connected to the network
    selected WPA2 Enterprise
    It Prompted my for my login/password
    I entered them....
    Then I got a certificate and it asked me to accept/install it, and I did
    Then it connects to the access point and gets a signal
    Even though I am connected and authenticated I can't get on the internet, and I get no IP address. Not a DHCP issue since other devices work.
    Any ideas on alternate configurations, or what I'd need to do with the iPhone Configuration Utility to get this working?

    "Unsupported" device - I've heard that before, too many times... =)
    So after thinking on everything you've tried, it's safe to say that your AP is running PEAPv0 with EAP-MSCHAPv2 for Authentication. This is good news - as it is probably the most widely used Enterprise WiFi configuration, iOS devices should absolutely be compatible with this. Getting a non-domain XP PC connected was a great idea, as I have discovered that Windows XP is kind of "loose" in the way it handles PEAP certificates - it will accept any certificate given to it by a RADIUS server without question. Undoubtedly a big security hole, but it does have the advantage of being "user friendly." I don't think Apple's implementation is quite as loose, so even though you are manually accepting one certificate, you probably need more to complete the chain of trust required for your device to authenticate the server. This is a requirement for PEAP to function.
    So at this point, I think your best bet would be to migrate over to the Credentials tab. If you're running the iPhone Config Utility on a PC which connects to the AP, you already have the certificates in your trusted certificate store - so simply hit the add button and add any relevant certificates. For example, if your domain is named "corporate", import any certificates bearing that domain. Once you've done this, head over to the Trust tab under WiFi and check off your newly imported certificates as being trusted for your connection.
    In addition, if you can figure out what the name of the RADIUS server on the other end of the AP is doing the authentication, add it under "Trusted Certificate Names" - if you don't know it, you can also add a wildcard like "*.corporate" to trust any servers in your domain. This shotgun approach is probably your best bet for making it go initially.
    You will know this is all working when you no longer get the dialog on your iPad to accept the certificate, and hopefully, you get an IP address.
    We're truly in the thick of it now, and this is my last idea - so if this does not work, we will need to call on those stronger than I with iOS networking... or, you can call up your IT department and start the conversation off with the words "I bet you can't figure this out" - that always gets IT people going =)
    Best of luck!

  • I can't get enhanced dictation to work

    It only works when I let the Apple servers interpret. When I check the "enchanced dication" box, it doesn't work. I double tap on the Fn key, speak, and it comes out blank. No words. Is there a reason why I can't get enhanced dictation to work?

    I guess I should have mentioned it worked before the most recent update. 10.9.0 and 10.9.1 it worked, but since the 10.9.2 update it stopped working.

  • My wi fi is connecting up fine on my ipod but i can't get onto the internet

    My wi fi is connecting up fine on my ipod but i can't get onto the internet. My ipod has been working fine until now and i have tried re- setting the network settings and all the other options that have been given but nothing seems to make any difference. If i try to get onto internet at all on my ipod, for instance, facebook and safari it will just come up no internet connection, even when the bar is full at the top. Can anyone help ?

    Despite the WiFi sign at the top you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If this problem continues you should test your iPod on some other networks. Since you say your iPod was "working fine" either it or your router may have developed a hardware problem. If the iPod works OK on other networks your router may have a problem.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • I can't get the connect to work after base installion.

    Hello, everyone, I am new to Arch Linux.
    I follow the installation guide install Arch Linux, Everything run pretty smooth, except at the part when I need to choose the package, I am not so sure what I am doing. So I choose everything except for the thing that I am sure I would never need.
    When the installation is complete, I try to go to the next setup which update my system, but some how, I can't get the connection working, switch mean, I couldn't do anything beyond that. (both wireless and wired network, BTW I am using DSL and I do try the adsl thing)
    Every thing seem make sense to me during the installation, but I just can't get the network connection working.
    BTW: my laptop is a Toshiba portege M100.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Try typing in:
    dhcpcd eth0 (or whatever interface you are using)
    and hit enter, I had the same type of problem and this woke up my network connection.
    Edit: Also, once you gain your connection up and running, you might want to install ifplugd.  It is a daemon which will automatically configure your Ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled, which is good for laptops.  Once installed make sure you put it in /etc/rc.conf under the DAEMONS section.
    Here is some info in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_network

  • I have a  ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i have  set up wifi but it wont get on the net

    i have a  ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i dont have a data plan yet & i have  set up wifi but it wont conect to the internet

    From your description above I conclude that the WiFi transmitter and receiver of your iPad appear to be working, but I abviously cannot tell how well they are working.
    Have you reset your iPad already?
    Press the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until only the white Apple logo appears on the screen - usually 10 to 15 seconds - ignore anything else.

    Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
