Can't login to iChat using Netgear WGR614 router

I'm on an iBook G4 running 10.4.7. I just set up wireless with a Netgear WGR614 wireless router. I can connect to the Internet fine, but when I try to login to my AIM account through iChat, I'm immediately disconnected.
The Netgear folks told me to set up a port forwarding service for AIM like this:
Start port: 5190
End port: 5194
IP: 192.168.1.4
That didn't work, and they told me I'm on my own. Then I tried to set it up as suggested for iChat on portforward.com:
Start port: 5190
End port: 5190
IP: 192.168.1.4
Start port: 4099
End port: 4099
IP: 192.168.1.4
Start port: 5193
End port: 5193
IP: 192.168.1.4
This also didn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I'm feeling so frustrated right now. Thanks in advance!

Okay, now it's being really weird. When I got home and switched back onto my network a few minutes ago, poof, iChat worked just fine. I wanted to make sure the problem was actually gone, and it wasn't just a fluke, so I logged out and tried to log back in — but no! Same problem as before, immediate disconnection. Just now, I logged into iChat through the wifi from next door, then I switched back to my network, and it automatically logged me in again, no problem. What is happening? Why the inconsistency? What do I need to do to make it always work?
I'm confused.
Thanks,
Emily

New Computer and can't login to iChat using my mac ID

I left the settings at default, put in my mac ID and tried to connect. It says it's connecting for about a minute then it just shows disconnected without any message, or reason why.

Hi,
You say Mac ID rather than Apple ID.
iChat can use names that are valid with AIM
These include Apple ID ending in @mac.com and @me.com (As well as AIM registered names)
However the @me.com ones could be issued via MobileMe and may not be current/active.
iCloud isssued @me.com ones should be active. (They will not work in ichat 5 or earlier)
Jabber (Includes Google and Facebook) IDs also work.
With older versions of iChat the Logging in port for the AIM Servers was port 5190 and this is above the port 1024 threshold and if you opened it previously in your router it may be pointing to an IP you current computer does not have.
However this should not effect you in iChat 6 (the Login port is 443)

Connecting to AirPlay with my AppleTV using Netgear-G router. Apple TV loses wifi connection after about 5 minutes.

I am using a new MacBook Air with OS X and just bought an Apple TV. Using Netgear-G router.
After 5 minutes of AirPlay, movies, etc from my laptop stop playing on my TV and then lose sound on the laptop (but have video on the laptop when that happens).
Just bought this tonight, pretty frustrating. Any help appreciated.

PS I've tried disabling WWM and it doesn't work. I do have a B/G only router though, do I need an N one?

Can't login to datamover using PS id

Hi,
I am in middle of installation PT8.5 and PSHRMS 8.8. So far, have installed the 8.8 database and now I am at point where I need to login to datamover using 'PS' and run few dms scripts. But, when I try login to DM using PS user id, I am getting the error "invalid user name or password".. I tried resetting the PS pwd thru update to PSACCESSPRFL table and then executing encrypt_password PS in datamover.. still the same error message.
Please suggest how to pass along the message.
Thanks!
Sharif

PROBLEM SOLVED
Here are the steps I took.
First did the reset of PS password in PSOPRDEFN:
UPDATE PSOPRDEFN
SET OPERPSWD = 'PS'
, ENCRYPTED = 0
WHERE OPRID = 'PS'
Commit;
Then, logged into datamover using sysadm account and executed the procedure.. ENCRYPT_PASSWORD PS;
Still the issue existed, I was not able to login to Datamover using PS/PS password.
After, I resetted the accessid/pwd in PSACCESSPRFL
UPDATE PSACCESSPRFL
set ACCESSID = 'SYSADM',
OPERPSWD = '<passwd>' (the one I use to login to datamover/app designer)
, ENCRYPTED = 0
WHERE SYMBOLICID = 'SYSADM1';
Commit;
Then, logged into datamover using sysadm account and executed the procedure.. ENCRYPT_PASSWORD *;
and now, the issue was solved.. I am login to datamover using PS/PS id as a normal user.
Thanks!

Airtunes + Netgear WGR614 Router

I had been using a Netgear MR814 (80211.b) with an Airport Express without any problems. In switching to the 80211.G WGR614 I'm struggling to connect the two.
If I remember right I should extend the Netgear Network to include the Airport Express. The Airport Setup Utility finds the netgear network but doesn't find the "Airport Base Station." Am I doing something wrong--or is the new router not compatible?
I'm sorry this question has probably been responded to--but I couldn't make much sense of previous answers.
Thanks,
John

You cannot "extend" the wireless network of any Netgear wireless router using an Airport Express. You can configure the Airport Express to "join" its wireless network, which will allow wireless iTunes streaming and printing.
See these instructions posted by David Lovell, which work equally well for PC and Mac users:

Unable to obtain ip with wireless connection to Netgear WGR614 router

Pardon my ignorance, I'm relatively new to the Mac world.
I recently purchased an iMac and at the same time purchased a Netgear wireless router.
When hardwired to the Netgear, I have no issues. I tried connecting via wireless, and keep getting the self-assigned ip address. My wireless network is detected and the Airport card connects...full strength. I also have a laptop running windowsXP, and it connects with no issues.
I have tried some of the suggestions mentioned in the discussions. Power cycled the Netgear. Changed channels...from 11 to 10. That didn't help so I went back to channel 11. I have security disabled...trying to keep the configuration as simple as possible until I can get this working.
If anyone can share some thoughts/ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
-Tim

I had to go into /Library/Preferences and dragged SystemConfiguration to my desktop. I restarted the iMac.
After it booted up, I went into System Preferences => Network; created a new Location and used the "Assist Me" tab at the bottom. It walked me through setting up the Airport again and this time it worked.
For anyone that does this, once you confirm your wireless connection is working, take the SystemConfiguration on the desktop and drag it to the Trash.

Using Netgear DG834PN router with Airport on Imac with Leopard 10.5.2

Hello,
I recently got an Imac (at christmas) and began connecting wirelessly using a belkin45g with a WEP key, which i have been told does not work correctly with macs.After this router kept disconnecting me, I then decided to change to a netgear dg834pn router, which connected fine at first.
I had to also set up a PC using Vista which connected perfectly, but after i had set up another WEP key for use with both computers, the PC connected perfectly, but the Imac refused to connect, giving me the error message "connection timeout".
I then removed the WEP, but now when i try and connect it still asks me for the WEP key. This was before i updated to 10.5.2, but i still have the same problem. I have to use an ethernet cable to successfully connect. It's a very annoying problem which has caused me to replace the router twice, but to no avail! If anyone has anything that can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if my explanation is confusing!!

Sorry for your frustrations, hopefully it's just a rinky-**** setting and not your router!
1st thing - while you have any connection, you should use Software Update to update to Leopard 10.5.2. if you haven't already done so.
2nd - If you goto Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network you will see a list of your Network "Services." If you are using PPPoE via your DSL Router, then all you need is Built-In Ethernet or Airport to obtain an DHCP IP Address. This sounds like your config right now and it works, but times out.
3rd - While in the Network preferences, I want to show you something: click on Built-in Ethernet once. Then, you will see an Advanced button in the lower-right corner. Click it. Now click the PPP tab and you will see settings. DO NOT change anything - I'm only showing you what I mean by, "Connect automatically when needed, etc." These type of settings should also correspond to your Router.
Translation: What you see here is sorta what you should see in your Router. Make sure your Router doesn't disconnect you after 3 hours, and make sure your connection is "Always On" etc.
Let me know if you keep getting sporatic drops after you attempted these minor things...

Can't login where I used to be able to

I have a favourite site where you must be registered to post. I have never had problems there before. All of a sudden, it asked me to login on Monday. That happens periodically but the problem was, after I enter my email and password I get a 404 message
Not Found
The requested URL /uumsweb/processLogin.do was not found on this server.
Apache/1.3.29 Server at www.todaysparent.com Port 80
what can I do or what have I done?
I have been reading here, looking for ways to get rid of that silly spinning beachballs and have taken some of the advice.
mel

yes I have asked them and of course their standard non mac answer is that we don't support the use of mac and can't help you. Copout! They don't have an answer for the fact that it had previously been running just fine on my mac. Will have to open the dreaded IE if I want to post. More of the microsoft monopoly!
thanks,

Can't login to Gmail using "Parallels"

Hey,
I'm using the latest version of Parallels desktop (5608) and I'm experiencing problems with using the internet with it. There are certain sites/applications that their connection attempt seems to be blocked.
Gmail is one example (can't log-in to my account), Windows Update is another one.
All problems disappear when booting from the BootCamp partition (same as the Parallels partition, but using a dual-boot).
I should probably also mention that it has been like that for me with all versions of Parallels. This is not a problem with the latest version.
Any ideas?

I have no idea, but you may find help here:

Boot with your install disk, when it starts up, select your language, on the next screen, you'll get menu items, select Utilities, and one of those will be reset password. Do that, select Startup Disk, select the internal HD, and click on restart. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156 for further details.

How can I ask MBP to use a specific router in my office?

Here is the situation. My office is using lot of access point to create a wireless network environment. I think all of the wireless router is connected by cable to the main server in office. Most of them are G mode by one of it is N mode.
I would like to connect with the specific N mode router, but as all of the router is using the same SSID and password, so how can I ask my MBP to connect with that specific N mode router??
Thank you very much.

Unless each access point were to advertise a different network name, so you could differentiate each, the Airport card will pick the one with the strongest signal, so the solution would be to sit right next to it. Sorry, but that's the way the cookie crumbles...
