Can't logg on to Internet

I am not sure if this question should be placed here, but here goes... when I take my laptop to the office and plug in highspeed, it's no problem.... but when I go home (I have dial up I can't get on the internet... this never used to happen, when at the office I don't have to use anything to sign in to get on the internet, so I don't know if the computer still thinks it's at the high speed connection or what???? I have msn and aol and it has happend to both.

Hi, btetv
This question would be best posted in Networking & getting online, Imo.
I am not able to direct you to the proper forum, however, it would also be advisable, for you to add some spec to your account, mode, of course i expect some sort of book,; ) is it intel or ppc, ram etc, you can do that in "My Settings" in the right side bar, i.e see the green writing on the bottom of my post.
In System preferences -> Network -> Location: Set up another Location for instance named Highspeed or DSL. enter the appropriate values etc. then when you take your book to work you can switch location, then back to your Dial up.
http://www.portforward.com/ this can help to set up DNS # value if those
are required. You can change Location Under the Blue Apple. If you do not
get it to work properly, I would post in the forum best describing your model & situation. Good Luck

Can no longer connect to internet w/ cell signal - advice?

Hi, all -
I can no longer access the internet using a cell signal on my Droid 3. Everything was working fine until about a week ago, but now I get no 3G signal at all and only one or two bars. When I turn on the WiFi, I have no trouble accessing the internet. I can make calls with no problem, but cannot access the internet or my apps.
I have tried the following, but I am still not getting a usable wireless signal:
·        - Restarted device several times
·       - Turned “airplane” settings on and off
·        - Removed battery, replaced it and restarted
·        - Dialed *228, then option 1 to activate service
·        - Dialed *228, then option 2 to reprogram service
Does anybody have any other ideas? I REALLY do not want to use the "nuclear" factory reset option unless absolutely necessary!
Thanks in advance for any help!

    dmiller28, being without data is very difficult! Your efforts are greatly appreciated and you are on the right track with the troubleshooting steps. Have you tried checking the network settings in the device? To do this you will go to: menu>settings>wireless and networks>network mode and check if it is set to CDMA. Otherwise the next step is to do the factory reset which will be the last resort option. Keep us posted, thanks!

After update I can't connect to the internet in no way, shape or form

I rarely update because: 1) something always breaks when you update (like now) and 2) I don't like to deal with new crap like GNOME 3. Anyway:
I bought a new router (TL-WR1043N) and configured it with an old Ubuntu because connecting to 192.168.1.1 didn't work on any of my Arch Linux installations. Now... here's where it all starts... I can't use the 'n' wireless on my laptop since I have to install something to use WPA, and to install that I need to update, but I don't want to deal with GNOME 3 and Firefox >3. But I gave up eventually gave up and connected my laptop to the router by Ethernet cable. Setting that up was very easy: 'ifconfig eth0 up; dhcpcd'. Voila! I updated my whole system and restarted. To see how badly I damaged my system I opened Nautilus (I use Openbox with some GNOME programs): shock and dismay, the fonts are visible from the moon. I guess I'll have to quit using GNOME programs completely now but I expected that. I used to use KDE back in the day and when KDE4 came forth from that unholy pit, I immediately abandoned it for GNOME. This time we had more time to prepare, everybody knew what GNOME 3 was going to be. I started using Openbox quite a long time ago.
Anyway: Now to fix my wireless right? WRONG! I can't connect to the internet on cable to get the packages for wireless. I installed Windows 7 64 on the same laptop and it connects to the cable. Ubuntu 9.10 Live also connects, but due to the changes of rc.conf and network stuff I can't connect at all with Arch Linux.
So I decided to abandon it completely and reinstall from scratch. But the Live CD also doesn't work. With all the ways I've tried it all comes down to this:
dhcpcd always times out waiting for a carrier and 'ip addr' shows 'eth0: <NO-CARRIER, ....' if the interface is up. I'm not sure what information I should give you, but I can't paste any here since I can't connect to the damn internet on that laptop.
About the router: the cable is plugged on port 1 and the LED for it flashes if I reboot the computer. In Windows it stops flashing while it connects and flashes again when connected. I removed 'network' from DAEMONS and it flashes till I start it with '/etc/rc.d/network start'. This hangs for a while and returns '[DONE]' even though it doesn't work and the LED never flashes again on the router.
In rc.conf I have exactly what the example says for DHCP. In any case, it doesn't work with the Live CD either.
EDIT 1: From lscpi: painstakingly typed:
06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconducctor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01)
EDIT 2: Just to be clear: I can use the wireless on the laptop on the Live CD, but I want to use the cable because of the greater speed (94Mbit/s on cable 60 something on wireless n, 20 something on g) and because I rarely move the laptop.
EDIT 3: lspci -v shows "Kernel driver in use: r8169 / Kernel modules: r8169", so the driver is loaded.
EDIT 4: So if I boot from the CD. ip addr shows:
eth: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 00:1d:92:...etc... brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
And the LED flashes. When I type: "ifconfig eth0 up" it stops, never to light up again and ip addr shows: "eth: <nO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000

When you're in Arch, use output redirection
lspci >lspci.out
then boot into Ubuntu or something where you can access the files and the BBS, Of course, don't forget to use a new file for each command output.
The new network config in rc.conf is not that complicated (wired anyway; never used wireless). OTOH I've had issues on two machines where I have to restart the network daemon (rc.d restart network) or rerun netcfg (netcfg eth0) after boot to get connectivity. And I still haven't come to grips with the ip command.

Safari 5.1.1 can't connect to the internet. Every other browser can.

I've tried resetting Safari, reinstalling Safari, and resetting my router to factory settings. Safari still can't connect to the internet, but everything else on my Mac (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) can.
I recently tried setting up Open DNS just because I've had problems with Comcast lately. But I've since returned DNS to be detected automatically.
Thoughts?

Macbook air can't go to the internet when connected with hard disk

Hi, so my macbook air can't go to the internet everytime when it is connected with my hard disk. The wifi icon on the top right corner says my macbook is connected to my wifi but my macbook just can't go to the internet. I unplugged my hard disk and I have no problem connecting to the internet right away? I would like to know if there is any solution for this problem.
Thank you

Try resetting your SMC.
Resetting the SMC of an Intel-based portable Mac with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: This will not delete any data.
The SMC is responsible for controlling various system functions. None of your data will be deleted by resetting the SMC.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
Release the (left side) Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) keys and the Power Button at the same time.
I hope I helped.

How can I print while the internet is disconnected?

I have Pro 8600.
How can I print while the internet is disconnected for some reason?
My internet router is unstable recently.
thanks.

Hi,
Your printer has these:
USB 2.0-compliant high speed
USB 2.0 high-speed host port
Wireless 802.11b/g/n*
Wired 802.3 network (Ethernet)
You can use USB or Ethernet connection to print. I always define USB as second printer and I can print direct.
Regards.

Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

No. Phones sold by GSM carriers can't access CDMA at all and phones sold by CDMA carriers can only access GSM if they are a) unlocked and b) in an area where there is not CDMA.
Best of luck.

Can no longer connect to internet with wireless router.

For almost a year I've had a wrt54g ver 6 connected on my computer with my cable modem and my sons computer with the compatible pci card. Everything worked fine until a few days ago, I came home and could not get on the internet with my computer. My son could, but not me. I didn't change anything at all. So I reinstalled the router drivers and I still can't connect to the internet, but now neither can the other computer. What could be the problem?
michele

it sounds like you might have to clone the mac address of the computer that was originally connected to the cable modem. clone mac address can be found on setup tab after log into router.

Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

Hi, all...
I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
* Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
* Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
* Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
Many thanks,
Bill J.
MacBook 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMac 17in Core 2 Duo 2.0, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, IBM NetVista M42

Thanks for your reply.
Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
they were no help either.
I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
Thx again.

IMac G5 isight Can No longer connect to internet over Airport

I have an iMac G5 that has been working fine on my Airport Extreme wireless network for 3 years. Suddenly, I can no longer access the internet over my Airport connection. The computer is on my local Airport network wirelessly (I can access it from my laptop and share files). I can connect to the internet from 4 other computers connected to the same wireless Airport network (2 MacBook Pro's, 1 Powermac G4). In addition, if I connect my iMac to my laptop via a twisted pair ethernet cable and turn on internet sharing on my laptop, my iMac can connect to the internet. All systems are running 10.5.5 and no firewalls in place. I checked my internet preferences and they have not been changed from what they were before when it was working. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHY SUDDENLY IT STOPPED CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET OVER MY WIRELESS AIRPORT CONNECTION?

I have just experienced the same situation. Everything was working fine and now I can't connect to my airport from my macbook pro. I also have an iMac G5 working perfectly well on the same airport.
Could it be a latest update that has caused the problem?

I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?

Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

Can't connect to the internet

Ok. so i did a search and didn't come across any other problems like the one I'm having.
Let me start off by stating that my laptop is an ibook g4 bought feb, '06 (yes the apple care just ran out).
I'm having a problem connecting to the internet on my ibook, running through a d-link wireless router. I'm using my imac to connect to the internet currently (which works fine by the way). It also is connected through the wireless router.
My ibook has a strange ailment. I open up Safari and all I get is a blank screen, the page is trying to load but the status bar is going no where and does the same in Firefox. So first, I opened Network diagnostics, but the computer freezes and I have to do a hard shutdown. (holding the power button). Next, I tried Disk utility. Verified Permissions, Repaired Permissions, everything is fine. I tried to Verify Disk, and again the computer freezes, will not let me force quit and I am forced to do another hard shutdown. I do the thing where you hold down some key while you're starting up to get into the disk utility so I can repair the disk. This returns clean as well. I downloaded techtool off of my Applecare disk. Did the tests, everything passes. So what's the deal?? I've tried to reset the pram. I even did the Apple Hardware test, everything passed.
I thought it could be my Airport card? It recognizes that there is an internet connection in the top right corner, I even have great signal strength (mostly because I've tried this sitting right next to the router). But still, I can't connect to the internet. Any one have any ideas? I don't know what else to try! Please help!

so i can't believe i didn't try to connect it directly to the router with the ethernet cord. This actually worked. But it still didn't solve my wireless problem. I'm not willing to let my laptop become a desktop. I'm already wired to a plug b/c the battery is slowly dying and has a life of about 5 minutes. I'm not willing to give up my wireless internet too.
I guess now it's got to be the airport card? how do I confirm this? and if it is how much would a new one cost and can I install it myself??

IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

Hi everyone,
I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days. This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem. But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line. When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message. I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router. At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal. But I can't access to the internet at all. It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc. I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
Thank you.

Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

Can connect to my house network, but can't connect to the Internet (other computers can)

Hello,
I'm experiencing a strange problem. Since I started my Mac Pro (cold start) some hours ago, I've lost the hability to connect to the Internet (Safari and Mail say I'm not connected). However, I can connect to 192.168.2.1 (my router) and see its webpage (it says it's connected to the Internet). If I use another computer on the same network, it can also connect to the Internet.
Weirder, if I go back to my Mac Pro with "no internet" and launch Parallels Desktop, then I can use WinXP to browse the Internet; I'm writing this post on my WinXP virtual machine.
This leads me to think there's a problem with how my Mac OS handles the networking. I have checked the Console, but the only related string I found is this:
16.04.13 22:03:25
kernel
SIOCPROTOATTACH_IN6: en2 error=17
As expected, Google doesn't reveal anything about that (and I'm connected with the first ethernet port). I've tried to restart my Mac, but the problem persists (exact same symptoms).
Could it be a DNS cache issue?
I don't see, other than a DNS problem, why I can't connect to the Internet with my Mac OS while I can on my virtual machines. If it was a driver problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my router. If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)?
I could also reinstall the OS (waste of time, btw), but I'd really like to understand the problem, not just clear it and forget about it.
Or better than guesses, anyone already experienced this?
Any help welcome.

If it's a DNS issue, where are the DNS caches located in order to clear them (I'd trash the folder)
No DNS caches, it looks up the alphabetic and then uses the numberic from then on.
http://17.149.160.49
is Apple, Inc main US web site. It that works, and the alphabetic does not, you have a DNS probelm.
