Cannot access non Airport network

Hi all,
I'm running a Powerbook G4, whcih connects to its home Airport wireless network with no problems. However, when I try to connect to a different non Airport wireless network I get a message saying there was a problem connecting.
The two most recent I've tried are at a relative's house. The old router didn't let me in, it has been recently changed so I though that might solve the issue but it didn't. It's a D-Link DSL 2640R, used without problems by anyone else who visits, and my Mac can see it as a network whose signal it is receiving. The password is taped to the top of the box. I tried entering this in the password box on my Mac but was denied access. Then tried with the password in quotation marks, again denied. Looked on some forums which suggested using HEX. I translated the (eight character) password into a (sixteen character) HEX key, but since my Mac needed either a 10 or 26 character HEX key, went back to the forums and found the suggestion of preceeding the HEX key with a $, # or 0x. None of this worked either.
I seemed to find lots of postings from people with the same kind of issue, does anyone have any further ideas please ?
Thanks,
Ivan

If its lower case, it means it can see the netwoirk but can't connect. Uppercase is connected. Thanks though, it seemed to resolve itself spontaneously

  • [Solved] Cannot access non-executable directories

    After I copied some folders and files from CD I had permission denied trying to access as a normal user.
    So I did
    sudo chown -R doctor:users folder
    sudo chmod -R 777 folder
    After that, the folder and files became executable.
    So, in directory Music/ I had some executable folders and files.
    I thought I can make it all non-executable recursively...
    sudo chmod -R -x Music/
    And now it's non-executable.
    But wait
    [doctor@doctor ~]$ cd Music/
    bash: cd: Music/: Permission denied
    I cannot access non executable folders?!
    After I make them executable again, I can access.
    [doctor@doctor ~]$ chmod -R +x Music/
    [doctor@doctor ~]$ cd Music/
    [doctor@doctor Music]$
    wtf?

    Didn't get how it works though..
    But a way to solve is
    chmod -R 775 Music
    And for files...
    find ./Music/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
    Though still didn't get why must folders have different permissions...
    Too much to study that chmod thing...

  • TS1398 Cannot access my wifi network since updating to OS7

    I cannot access my wifi network since updating to OS7. Need wifi to make any changes - even to update for bug fix - help!!

    Try power cycling your router. Un plug it, count to 20, plug it back in and let it reboot.
    You can also try going into your iPad and 'reset all network settings'.

  • IPhone 3GS cannot access to 3G network after upgrading to OS 5

    My iPhone 3GS cannot access the 3G network after upgrading to OS5. I have checked with my operator and shows that their 3G network is working fine. Only cannot access through the phone. When I enable 3G, there will be no service for my phone. Wifi is working fine.
    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks, I will try this method. After restore and syn, will it automatically upgrade back to OS5? 
    No. If you have 5.0.1, then you will get 5.0.1 back. Restoring should still fix it though. I would prefer to have you back up to iCloud, because there are many known issues/errors when trying to restore via iTunes on iOS 5 or later.

  • Sony laptop cannot access our wifi network...

    Have just installed new airport extreme 5th gen, hardwired to macbook pro and imac.  The only device that cannot access our network is our Sony laptop - shows a red x - that it is a "hidden" network.  Have not used the closed network setting in airport utility - any advice?

    sorry for the trouble, but solved the problem; obviously not very computer savvy, but found that the Sony's networking settings were for our old router (WEP) - reset to WPA2 and works fine.

  • Cannot access webserver across network

    Hi all,
    a little background then on to the problem
    small group running 4 work stations and one server. Server used to run apache 2 under OS X 4.7 but we have upgraded to OS X Server tiger 10.4.8
    Prior to upgrading the webserver, we could mount the webserver machine on our desktops (apple+K then browse or enter the server's LAN IP) to add files, make changes to static pages etc to the web root directory...nice and easy
    But since upgrading to OS X Server, we cannot mount or even see the server machine on the network. We can mount our workstations from the server via apple+k but that is a bit pointless unless we each keep a drive mounted on the server and drop changes into the mounted drives then walk over to the server to move the files around on the actual server machine (which negates the benefits of having a network!
    So my question is....can anyone tell me how can we mount our server machine on to individual workstations we can make changes to web pages and directories.
    I know some may say FTP but I really dont want to go that way as access via the network (apple+k) was a much quicker and easier method.
    thanks,
    Tristan

    Have you verified that the file sharing service on the server is actually running?
    From your description it sounds like the server isn't running, and therefore you're not going to get to mount its volumes.
    I haven't heard of problems with services getting turned off as part of an OS upgrade, but anything's possible.
    From your description I'm guessing you're using AFP, so check Server Admin to ensure that AFP is running. You might also need to check Workgroup Manager to ensure that the correct set of directories are being shared.

  • Cannot detect the Airport network

    Hi: Suddenly my Ti G4 cannot detect the airport basestation as my other computers can. Sometimes the airport signal is detected and after some time it disappears. I've tried to use the airport utilities from this computer and cannot detect the network. I removed the botom cover of my computer, and all connections seems to be OK. Checking the apple system profiler, shows the card installed but no network available. Is there any test to check if the card is broken? Is there something else to check?

    Ditto on Henry's advice about swapping cards. My PB was having some intermittent problems with a new AEBS I bought. Then I was in Boston and the PB wireless was flaky. It would have a full signal, then drop instantly to zero, then come right back. Since there was an Apple store within 2 blocks, I went down there to troubleshoot. Interestingly, the Apple Store connection was perfect. But the tech swapped out my card and tested the old one. He said it was "starting" to go bad and suggested I get a new one. I did, and the hotel connection was fine. I sold my old card to another mac guy and it's been working perfectly with his home system.
    Now a year later I'm in CA and the hotel wireless was flaky. Exact same symptoms. I had my electronics screwdrivers along (don't ask), so opened the case and checked all connections. Then I drove over to the Burlingame store and had no problems getting on their network.
    I now think it's really a problem with the Hilton Family Hotels wireless routers. The cards seem to work perfectly elsewhere. Don't know why my home system was bad. So long story short, go bribe your local genius (if possible) and get them to check your card.
    So long story

  • Cannot access web. Network diagnostics says my internet connection appears to be working correctly

  • XP Pro on MacBook Pro Cannot Connect to AirPort Network

    I just installed Windows XP using the Boot Camp set up utility. After I installed Windows, I went to set up a wireless network and went through the full process of setting it up. Since I've done that several times, XP Pro on my MacBook will not connect to my AirPort network. I have an airport network on one end of the house and on the other end, I have an airport express to increase the signal.
    Any ideas?

    I feel your pain! I can tell you how to get into a protected net ... just not how to STAY connected for any appreciable time! Haven't figured that one out!
    Go to your wireless connection icon ... bottom rhs of tool bar (XP)
    - 2x click that icon ... that'll bring up your connection
    - Highlight your connection
    - Select the "Change Advanced settings"... lower lhs of screen
    - When the next window pops-up, select the "Wireless Networks " tab
    - The next window should display your connection ... if not highlight it
    - Select properties
    - In this window you should select:
    - Shared for Network Auth
    - Select WEP for Data Encrypt
    - Input your Network Key (You can get this off your Airport Admin Utility by bringing up the Airport and selecting the "Lock" icon that's named "Password". Select password and it'll give you the hexadecimal equivalent. Input that into your Network Key window and authenticate.
    - Select OK and you should be good for about 5 mins!

  • Laserjet 1320 on win 7 (64bit) - cannot access from a networked XP Pro machine?

    I have a Laserjet 1320 and a Officejet 6450 attached to a win 7 (64bit) machine - both work fine.
    Have a home workgroup network established with an XP pro machine.  Both printers are "shared" etc..
    I can access the Offiejet from the XP machine, but cannot get access to the Laserjet.  Claims that
    the proper Driver cannot be located.  Have downloaded the PCl5 driver to the Win 7 machine, but when
    I point the XP machine to the HP PCL5 Driver folder on the win 7 machine it still cannot find the proper driver.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi Don
    Thanks for the reply.
    The version of Visual Studio being used is 2002 (getting on a bit now).
    We had a play about with the way we installed the MSI installer we had created that installs the Crystal Reports runtimes (merge modules) and managed to get it to work on both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.
    The solution was a weird one, but seemed to work (but was different to what I had done before to get it to work).  We made sure the MSI was local on the PC and right-clicked the MSI and selected the ''Troubleshoot Compatibility' ' option.  Not 100% why this would work, but it seems to have done the trick.
    Many thanks for your help.
    David.

  • Timed access on airport network not working

    I've set up a schedule on my airport extreme/express WDS network as accurately as I can. But my daughter on a windows machine can still access the internet through this???
    Please tell me what I've done wrong.

    No I have the AP extreme set up as a WDS main and the AP express as the participant.
    I have the MAC address of both the laptop I wnat to limit and the APexpress limited on time. The Laptop doesnt have the range to reach the APextreme base station.
    When I look at the access control in the AP express there is no option for timed access.

  • Changed OVM IP.... cannot access guests over network.

    I moved my test OVM server from one datacentre to another. This necessitated a change of IP address for the server and the guests. I was able to update the servers details in the OVS VM management app and all is well. The VM management server did not move. I can start and stop the guests etc etc. However I can no longer access the guest over the network. I can access the guests when I am logged on to the OVS server, I can ping, ssh and do all the things you would expect, I can even ping from inside one guest to another guest so there is, fundamentally, nothing wrong with the guest setups that I can see. It would appear as though packets to/from the guests are not being 'forwarded' or some such. I have triple checked all my network settings from OVS server and 2 guests and cannot get it to work. From inside a guest if I ping the gateway address I get no answer.
    Is there something tucked away in the bowels of the xen configuration that still has some old settings ?
    Surely I wouldn't have to re-install just because I changed the IP ?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Is the MAC-address for the Xen-bridge in vm.cfg on the VM Server identical to the HWADDR in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-ethX ?

  • After latest security update cannot access my wired network

    After the latest security update on my MBP.... no longer can access wired network on laptop.  Desktop did not update.... can still access wired network.
    Anyone have a fix for the updated MBP?
    Thank,
    Reed

    Is it all applications that these keys don't work?
    Also is it a wired keyboard or bluetooth keyboard, either keyboard i'd suggest starting with resetting SMC (helps USB) and PRAM (helps Bluetooth)
    Reset SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Reset PRAM
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If it's a USB keyboard i'd suggest trying a different USB port and restarting the computer, for a bluetooth keyboard i'd suggest removing the keyboard from Bluetooth Preferences and repairing the keyboard.
