Cannot Access the internet on my Mac

I have a MacPro, running 10.5.1 (although when this problem began it was probably a newer version the OS if there was one). I moved offices about 2 months ago-- same facility, same network. After one day in the new digs, my internet and network access (wired) stopped working. That has lead down a long path including hours on the phone with Applecare, one visit from a certified mac repairman, several archive and installs, hundreds of dollars of tech time by the company network engineers, and a month and a half of lost productivity.
*Internet Access:*
A wireless router has been installed, and my airport connection is set to the 192. schema. The Airport status window shows that I'm connected to the right network and full strength, however I still can't access the internet when I'm booted Mac OS. I've tried both Safari and Firefox. I can access the internet only when booted in Windows XP.
*Office Network Access:*
At this point, via manual configuration in Network Preferences, I have sketchy access to the office shares in both Operating Systems through a wired connection. When I'm in Leopard though, I have no access to the internet and no access to the printers on the network. In Windows XP, I have access to everything, even though XP is using the same hardware to do it. There seems to be something in my Mac OS blocking IPs. This conclusion was reached due to the fact that the office share I can access are recognized by name, but internet and printers are recognized by IP, hence, I can't use them.
Network Diagnostics says my "internet connection appears to be working correctly" with all green lights on the left side, but whenever I try to browse the internet, it says the same thing but the "ISP," "Internet," and "Server" items under Network Status all say Failed with the red lights.
The Office Network Engineer, anyone I talk to at Applecare, and I are all baffled. I'm the only Mac in the company, and I'm a luxury as a designer here. No one else is having these problems, and I'm now a month and a half behind. Things aren't looking good.
Can anyone out there help me...please?
*Other important details:*
-Office Server is Windows Server 2003 R2
-Every test that the Network Engineer has run on the server (Windows Server) has come up clean.
-I can't ping any IP's from my Mac Pro
-Traceroute yeilded the same results as everything above
-I can only access shares by the names assigned to them
-The network DNS could not Ping my Mac

"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

  • Apple Applications cannot Access the Internet, Others can

    I've owned my MacBook for about 1.5 years now and it's starting to have some stability issues. Daily hard-locks are becoming the norm. I suspect hard drive issues may be to blame. I have repaired permissions and verified and repaired the disk. That seemed to help for a little while, but this latest problem is throwing me for a loop...
    Apple applications cannot access the Internet. Apple Mail (RSS, POP, ad IMAP), Safari, iTunes (PodCasts, iTunes Store), and Software Update all time out while trying to contact servers. Firefox, OpenVPN, command line SSH, ping, etc, all have no problems.
    My next step is a reformat, but this week is a really inconvenient time for me to do a backup and restore and I'd love a quick-fix if there is one. Any suggestions?

    Thanks. I just realized that is was serious user error. I forgot I had enabled Socks proxy in Internet connections a couple of days ago and that my Mac apps would still be using that while my other apps would not. Thanks!

  • I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home.  I have a cable modem. Help please!

    If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
    You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
    If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
    If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

  • I cannot access the internet, I tried to answer that said to go to settings, safari, tap clear history, cookies and cache, cut off, then on, but it did not work.  When I go to internet the screen is grey??? please help I am a new user!!

    I cannot access the internet the screen is grey, I have tried by using the answer from someone but it does not work...I went to settings, tap safari, then clear the history, cookies, and cache, then turn off ipad.  When I did that twice, it did not work.  How long does it take for the clear history to work?  I am a brand new
    user of the ipad2 and I am disappointed that this is happening already.

    Have you been able to access the internet previously and now it's suddenly not working, or are you still trying to access the internet for the first time on your iPad?  Are you at home trying to connect through your home router?  If you are at home, did you put your home routers encryption code as your password?  The encryption code is what your iPad is looking for and it is usually found on the router and is typically a 13 digit combination of letters and numbers.  Let us know......

  • I did a software update on my ipad and now cannot access the internet. how can i fix this?

    I did a software update on my ipad to 8.1 and now cannot access the internet.  How do I fix this?  My mail updates, but to get internet access I had to move from wifi to cellular data, and now even cellular data does not allow me access.

    Hi Go to settings Reset Network Settings After Reset you need to enter your Router wireless key Before you do this turn off your Router for 30 seconds Also an option is to go on Websites for your make of Router look for any Firmware updates but you can do this later. Cheers Brian

  • When I open a second Profile while another is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. Why?

    I often have occasions to run more than one Profile simultaneously (usually because of different add-ons I've installed on different Profiles). In the past this worked fine. Now, all of a sudden, if I open a second Profile while the first is running the second cannot access the Internet until I close the first. It keeps looking for a website, and failing, until the system "times out". If I close the first Profile, the second is then able to access the Internet.
    Note: this is not a problem with opening a second Window in Firefox. As long as they are from the same Profile they will both work fine. Nor does this stop me from using a second Profile to look at website files I have saved to my computer. The only problem is that the second Profile cannot get on the Internet.

    I just checked, the setting was for "Automatic proxy configuration URL", in the past it was set on "No Proxy". So I'll try changing that (and/or try other proxy options), and see if that solves the problem.
    If it does, then just one (academic) question remains: why did that happen in the first place? I don't care what the answer is, so long as your suggestion solves the problem.
    Thanks.

    You need to do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer.

    I installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now I cannot access the Internet. All the other computers and tablets on the network have no problem. I did PRAM and MC reset, modem reset, etc., all the usual ju-ju. I also cannot connect on my local network to any other computer. Yet Network control panel says I am connect to the modem, and Network Diagnosis says I am connected to the Internet. It's like the blind man who has eyes that cannot see. BTW, I am not some newbee. I have been a Machead since the early nineties and set up a half dozen networks, including the one I am using at home to which the iMac mysteriously is there but not. This has me stumped! I am considering going back to 10.7!

  • Is there a way to access the web-based setup for my router if I cannot access the internet?

    Okay, I need to change the ip address settings on my router. I have a WRT54G Wireless router. I cannot access the internet on my computer connected to the router, and do not know how to change the router settings without accessing the web-based setup page. So, back to my question. Is there a way to access this page if I cannot connect to the internet?

    On the back of the router is a small reset switch. Using a paper clip or other small item, press the switch in and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the router to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Enter that address in your web browser, and be sure your computer is attached to the router by an Ethernet cable. Don't attempt to do this using the wireless connection.
    Once you have reached the web configuration utility you can change the DHCP settings.
    To give your PC a static IP address you will need to open your network connections panel and, assuming your using Windows XP, make the changes from dynamic IP to static there.

  • Equium P200-1IR - Wireless is connected but cannot access the internet

    Hi ya,
    Need a little help!!
    I have just bought an Equium P200-1IR.
    I have turned the wi fi on.
    I can see my router which is Talk Talk.
    I can get the laptop to connect to the router and it says that I am connected,
    however I cannot access the internet.
    I tried the same process by inserting a wi fi dongle into the USB port
    on the laptop and exactly the same happens.
    We have other computers in the house that connect to the router and internet
    ok using the wireless dongle.
    I have plugged a hard wire connection from the laptop to the router and I can
    access the internet immediately with no problems, however would love
    to use the wireless feature.
    Any help really appreciated....Thanks
    Waynec

    Do you use the right channel and right encryption settings?
    This should be checked!
    It should be able to change the WLan channels in device manager -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
    But I would also recommend disabling the encryption and password in router settings and to connect to Open Wlan of course this should be done only for testing purposes if the notebook would be able to connect to the open router, then this would mean that you used a wrong password.
    How about WLan driver update? Did you update the WLan driver? If not do that!

  • I am connected to my wireless network but cannot access the internet. Any ideas?

    I am connected to my wireless network but cannot access the internet. Any ideas?

    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address 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 can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (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 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.
