Cannot connect to internet using XP

Hi,
i read the threads below but none helped me.
I manage to connect to the internet with Mac OS X, but not with XP.
I use wireless and it finds the wireless connection but doesn't manage to connect to the internet because it says the connection is too low.
Can you help me?

in os x, go into system prefs> network> click airport, then configure. check the settings here, specifically if you are using a manual ip address (i'm assuming you aren't) and if there are any pppoe settings entered. in win xp, go to control panel> network connections> right click your wireless connection and go to properties. there will be a box with 3 or 4 settings in it, look for the one that says tcp/ip (can't remember the exact phrase since I'm in os x right now). if you didn't have anything specific for your ip in os x, make sure that everything is set to automatic.
as for the router, this will depend on the brand of router you're using. to find your router's gateway, in os x go to the network section in your system prefs again, and go into the airport config. the gateway will be listed next to "router" in the tcp/ip tab. write this number down, and enter it in your browser's address bar. you will now be logging into your router's setup (check your router's lit. to find the password and login name). this part is very dependant on your brand of router, and if you don't know exactly what you're doing, don't change anything. I would suggest just checking that there is nothing obvious that would be blocking your windows connection. you can also log into xp and log into your router just to see if you can get to the setup page. if you can, there are conflicting setting with your isp, so you'd need to contact them. if not, try reinstalling your wireless drivers.
good luck

  • Cannot connect to Internet (using Safari)

    Hi all.
    I got my Macbook (unibody) for about 7 months ago. I have never had any problems with it, but now suddently Internet has stopped working. I am using only Safari. It just says "cannot connect to Internet" when i try get online. The weird thing is that Internet works to all other computers here at home, but not on mine. I have checked that all the cords are plugged in and all lights are on. I have tried using the internet cords for the other computers on my Mac, but they dont work. The cord i am using is working on other computers too, so there is nothing wrong with it. It is like my Mac doesn´t "recognize" that i have the cord plugged in. When i am on the systems settigns it says that everything is offline, and when i am on the Ethernet settings it does not have any IP adress written or anything, and i have chosen "Use DHCP".
    What should i do? I was watching a movie yesterday and had the laptop in my lap, maybe it got overheated or something? Or is it something wrong with the network card? Please help, this is so frustrating!

  • Cannot connect to internet using apple applications

    Hi,
    I cannot connect to the internet using these apple applications: Safari, Software Update, iTunes.
    I can connect to the internet using Firefox and iChat.
    I have just reinserted my OSX 10.4 discs and reinstalled the software (making an archive and using my old settings choice). But it still doesn't work.
    Why won't apple applications connect to the internet?

    I just updated to 10.4.11 and tried to run my brand new Safari 3. NO GO.
    I'm having a much smaller problem (just accessing certain sites) which I think may have begun with 10.4.11. I'd agree that you might want to try launching the disk utility and repairing permissions. Then you may want to run Software Update again and see if it finds other updates that may be required. Sometimes after a revision patch application, especially if you don't apply patches soon after their release, there are other applications and stuff which need to be updated after you've run the initial update. It's not a typical thing, but it does happen on occasion.
    The only time I've really had a problem with an update was, I believe, 10.4.9... I think I let Software Update do it's job, but wasn't ready to save and quit an open document or two, so just did something I'd done before, without issue... I "force-quit" Software Update. This was not an advisable move, as it turned out. Indeed, I think that time, after staying up all night trying to suss out the problem, was when I found a couple other people who'd had similar issues with the update because it required a second re-start after patch application. In my sleep-deprivation-induced state of temporary insanity I selected a user name which I now find rather embarrassing... I don't remember picking "MacCrackHead", actually... LOL ... but that's another story.
    If you have an external drive that you've backed up your system install to, you may be able to boot off of it and see if things work normally (as I did when I moved from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 and had the issues)... Ultimately I ended up making a second back-up of my external back-up and running the 10.4.9 update offline. It went well, so I cloned my back-up back to my normal start-up. I can't remember now what the issue was then, but it was pretty problematic for me.
    My routine, when I see an important update available is now:
    1) Don't update when Software Update finds something;
    2) Save my work and close all applications.
    3) (Recommended): Bring my back-up clone of my start-up drive up-to-date.
    4) Run software update.
    5) Restart when it tells me to (required for many updates, and all system version updates)
    6) Run software update again on re-boot to see if there's anything else that follows... (usually none)
    7) Run disk utility and repair permissions.
    Good luck resolving your issue, Lisa.

  • 9300 Curve wifi problem - cannot connect to internet using only wifi once data turned off

    I've got a 9300 Curve with a data plan from Rogers. I want to use my wifi in hotspots when I go overseas without using my data. I have no problems connecting to wifi networks. Once I turn off my data services, my connections to the wifi network show that the signal is still just as strong, but I can't use my browser, facebook, bbm, etc. - message is "unable to connect to internet" when I try and access my browser. This problem occurs whether I'm using a public hotspot or my home router. I used to be able to access wifi without using data from Rogers on my older Curve (can't remember the model), so I don't think it has anything to do with my plan.
    Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated!

    Thanks for the reply!
    Did you mean "leave data ON and turn off data roaming"? But that would just turn off my data while I'm roaming, and while I'm not roaming, it'll still access through data and not through wifi like I would prefer. That's what I understand, but pls correct me if I'm wrong! I guess I meant to also mention that whether I'm in my home zone or overseas, I still can't use my browser, bbm, etc through wifi only, with data turned off...it just says there's no connection to the server/internet, even though it shows that I'm connected to a wifi network.

  • Cannot connect to internet using Airport

    I am having difficulty connecting my new Airport express to the internet.  Everything connects fine modem>Airport (WAN) and then back to my computer (LAN) and I get a green light on the Airport but when I open the safari browser it says I do not have an internet connection. 

    Hello mfort77. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    It's always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle whenever you change network configurations.
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Cannot connect to internet using wireless airport on my iMAC

    I am running Leopard on my iMac and less than a week ago I was able to connect to the internet by wireless airport express. Now it says that my airport is working and connected but when I open Safari, I only get a partial url load and then it freezes and eventually after about 3-5 minutes it gives me a "You are not connected to the internet". I recently installed updates and I believe that after that is when it stopped working. After hours of troubleshooting research on the internet, I've tried creating a new network, editing the location from Automatic to a new one, simply shutting down and unplugging for a couple of minutes and plugging back in and rebooting for example and nothing has worked. Does anybody have any thoughts that could help me get back up and running again?
    Thanks!

    Even though your profile does NOT show you updated to 10.5.2 I suspect you did by the way you are talking. The problem with 10.5.2 is in an extension file ( which is really a folder ) it is the root to the wi-fi problems. I will be posting a fix 1-2 days. In the mean time you should download a program called Pacifist Vers. 2.5.2. The trial version will work but I suggest you pay the $20 shareware because he earn it and if my feelings are correct about Apple you will need it again.

  • Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions

    Have disabled IE on windows pc and am using Firefox as browser. iTunes now says cannot connect to internet even though Firefox working: suggestions?

    There is a plugin for Firefox - see here
    http://latestversionplugin.com/current-version-plugin-itunes-application-detecto r.html
    It should be installed automatically if you install iTunes, but I guess when you installed iTunes you didn't have Firefox.  Just reinstall iTunes and it should work OK  (your iTunes library will not be affected)

  • I am not able to connect to internet using Firefox. I have Un-installed and reinstalled Firefox again, but still get the "Cannot find server" message. For now I'm using Internet Explorer but I would like to go back to using Firefox. Thanks.

    I lost connectivity to internet thru Firefox a while ago. Contacted my ISP and we tried many things before discovering it was a Firefox issue, not a modem or router or browser issue. Even after uninstalling/einstalling Firefox fresh, I still cannot connect to internet and get the "Unable to connect- Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.yahoo.com" message.

    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 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.

  • Cannot connect to internet on ipad mini need to use 'other network' please help

    cannot connect to internet need another network as haven't password

    The Other Network option is so you can connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot that might have its name hidden.  Other Network gives you the oppertunity to type the name of the hidden Wi-Fi hotspot so the iPad can see it.
    If you are looking for a Wi-Fi hotspot to join, but can not because you do not have the password to join that network, you will need to ask the hotspot's owner for permission and a password before you can join.
    If you have internet in your house and you want to connect your iPad Mini to the internet, you will need a wireless router or access point.  Ask your internet provider, they may already have that available for you and it would be a quick setup for them. 
    Good luck,

    Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
    Things to consider before you begin
    Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
    When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
    The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
    You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
    You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
    If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

  • ITunes cannot connect to Internet and iPad backup takes Forever

    Hi, I have a workstation, high end Windows 7, PC, everything works perfect except the iTunes.. here's my story:
    iTunes cannot connect to internet, nor can iTunes Store. I tried "Run Diagnostics" from Help menu, it showed "internet connection verified" green light BUT "Secure link to iTunes Store Failed" Red Light.
    Then I thought, lets check other Apple App, Safari.. which couldn't load google for a long time and didn't even show any error, anyway, so I quit and uninstalled it.
    I connected iPad for backup, it started all fine. At "Step 2 of 7" backing up, the loading/copying bar came half way up and stayed there for more than 20 hours. So, I quit that too. (Maybe, this is a different problem or connected, im not sure.)
    I also checked the setting in Norton Firewall and made sure iTunes was allowed full access. Internet is working perfect in all the other applications, even "Apple Software Update" is working fine, checking for updates and everything. I have latest version of iTunes by the way.
    THEN, I uninstalled everything Apple, left no trace of Apple in Program Files, and reinstalled iTunes. STILL SAME PROBLEM!!! Can anybody help? What could've happened, 'coz it used to work just fine before.
    Thanks Guys!

    start itunes.
    update podcasts - no response.
    click on store - no response.
    use diagnostics for connectivity - no response.
    sometimes, when i stop itunes from trying to connect, i will get an error code 11222

  • Cannot connect to internet in Solaris 10 OS.

    I setup X4500 running solaris 10 OS. But, I cannot connect to internet. I do not understand whats wrong with that. When I ping google or any other site from X4500 its not transferring any packets. I can ssh it from a remote computer. So, running fine on the network. I have a static IP for that. Could someone please help me with this.
    Thank you

    Can you ping your own default gateway's IP address?
    Can you traceroute to a public IP address like forums.sun.com (72.5.124.102)?
    Can you use nslookup to resolve hostnames to IP addresses?
    Does your /etc/resolv.conf have lines like:
    nameserver 192.168.0.10
    Where 192.168.0.10 is the IP address of your local DNS server(s)?
    Did you copy /etc/nsswitch.dns over /etc/nsswitch.conf before trying to reach websites?
    I hope investigating these questions help.

  • Got a new computer, just downloaded i-tunes and such all over again. Now wanting to watch a movie and Apple TV is saying "cannot connect to internet"

    We're trying to watch a movie using our Apple TV. It is saying "cannot connect to internet?"  WE thought it was because we just got a new computer, so i went through the process of downloating i-tunes all over again...yet we still have the problem. ??? PLease help

    What exactly has changed?
    Just the computer, other things?
    More information on your actual setup is needed -  Particularly how things are connected on the local network and to each other.
    In theory the new computer should not affect Apple TV's ability to rent and play a movie if the rental was made on the AppleTV itself.  The problem may have nothing to do with the new computer unless changes have been made on the router to let it connect and it's caused AppleTv to disconnect, or the PC has been assigned the AppleTV's IP address which is no longer available to AppleTV hence it thinks it's lost connection.
    Try powering off the router, restarting and see if the AppleTV internet connection returns. Restart AppleTv too if needed. Check any ethernet cable connections or wi-fi settings on AppleTV if it doesn't re-establish the internet connection.  By the way an ethernet cable plugged into AppleTV will disconnect it's wi-fi connections.
