Cannot connect to net at my home...

But everywhere else it seems to work.
My neighbor came over and connected with his Macbook, no problems, all 3 of my other wireless laptops connect with no problem?
Spent 3 hours with Apple, they cant figure it out.
Spent a couple of hours with my ISP they cant figure it out.
I've had it with this whole Apple experience so far.

What version MacBook Pro do you have?
Can you connect with an ethernet cable to your router and get on the net that way? if so, have you run Apple software update?
I assume from your wireless connection, you cannot then see your network (SSID) from the Airport menu. (Or can you?)
Is your network encrypted? If so, are you putting in the right key and specifying the proper method such as wep or wpa?
Have you gone into the network control panel and checked to make sure Airport is activated?

Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power to it for 30 seconds.

Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Cannot connect from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares

Hi guys,
I am having dificulties connecting from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares.
First of all it takes so long time to discover the share in iMac, which it's called "mediaserver". After finding it i cannot connect and gives "Connection Failed: message. If i choose "Connect As.." option i wait some time and then pops out with an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "mediaserver". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
If i try from Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... write in Server Address : smb://mediaserver it fails. But if i write the IP address, like: smb://192.168.1.42 it works after couple of tries. If i try now to Make an Alias for the share i get "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (eror code -8060)."
Has anyone experienced these problems ? I have updated to Mac OS X version 10.7.3. Could that be the problem ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Simi

You need to reinstall the updated WHS connector for Mac. You should then be able to access your shares on WHS 2011.
The problem I'm having is I can't get Time Capsule to recognize the WHS 2011 mapped folders that show up on the desktop as a drive, so Backup won't work.

AirPort Cannot Connect To Net

So I just switched to SBC Global (DSL) and since that time I cannot get my AirPort to work anymore. I can connect to the net with I am plugged in directly to the modem, but cannot get an IP when I plug the ethernet cable into the AirPort.
Suggestions?

Still having issues.
I have tried to put in a manual IP address into my AirPort Utility. No go.
SBC says they do not support AirPort problems, and I would have to call Apple, but the number they gave me doesn't seem to work (800.500.7870).
I have read a bunch of threads on issues like this, but they all seem to be unique in nature. The thread I have found that best resembles my issue is this one:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5418540&#5418540
but, I have tried the things in here and I still cannot connect (specifically the IP address issue in this thread seems to be one I am having).
Please help.

After months of trying, I found the answer for me here with wiclee to dunetraker april 2012. I wasnt sure how to connect to his answer so I copied it. Here it is:

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt",
Well, it didn't all copy but if you search you will find it. It explains how to use command prompt to enter "netsh winsock reset". I tried so many different things and this is the only thing that worked. Thanks to wiclee.

Cannot Connect to other computers on home network

First let me say I am a new MAC owner. I have only ever used Windows PCs. I just got my Macbook today and installed SL 10.6.2. I can connect successfully to the internet and the networked printer on my home network. I cannot however, see or connect to any other computers on the home network. We have 2 other machines, one is running Vista and the other is XP. They can see and connect successfully to my Mac. I have read through a number of threads, but have not seen anything that I understand or can find on my laptop. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to see and access the windows computers.

Try using Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddress. If you can connect this way, then good. I'll have more to say later. Just try to get this working for now.
Before trying to connect:
On the XP machine.
1. Right-click on a folder to share (e.g., My Documents), chose Sharing, and select both Sharing Options.
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes. I can't remember where some things are in XP, but you may have to enable Network Discovery somewhere.
On the Vista machine.
1. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on the User folder, and choose the settings that give Everyone—both Read/Write permissions.
2. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes too. I can't remember some of the detail in Vista.
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart

Cannot connect to youtube on my home wifi

I have no trouble connecting on other WiFi networks and on 3g. In fact if I am watcvhing a video on 3g and then connect to the home WiFi, it will continue playing. I cannot find any security or firewall settings that could be blocking it and it is very frustrating.....My ISP just swapped out my wireless router and I have tried all of the varous encryption protocols (WEP, WPA. WPA2, etc) and that has not fixed it. It is a Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl router. Any help would be gratly appreciated.

Contact your ISP. There's some setting on that new router that is blocking YouTube. I'm not familiar with that router so I can't offer instructions for removing the block.

Cannot connect to wifi: Only at home!

Okay, I'm at my wits end here. About a month ago my 13"MBP stopped connecting to MY wireless network/internet. It works everywhere else, no exceptions.
Sooo...I tried the usual: Permissions, Keychain, Service Order, Security types (WEP, WPA, None, etc). Nothing. So I assumed it was the router (Belkin N1).
I'm now on my 3rd router (another Belkin, Linksys, and now a D-link) and nothing works. I know they are set up correctly (but you never know). I'm on Comcast, btw with a Motorola Surfboard SB5101 cable modem. Again, it all used to work fine! My iphone connects. My nephews iPod Touch connects. Not my mac. Grrr.
What gives? Why would my computer connect anywhere else but not at home? What haven't I tried yet?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

Tricky issue. I once had similar problems with a router and Leopard (not SL).
These days a Netgear and Snow Leopard works really well.
Anyway, I have some suggestions.
-As suggested does it connect without security? Would be interesting to know if the routers are at least giving it an IP address without WEP or WPA.
-Personally I'd use WPA over WEP. I had issues with WEP with Macs.
-When deleting your old settings (from the list in Network Preferences>Advanced>Airport tab) does it honour this and ask for a new password when you try and connect, or does it just try to connect using old settings?
Open /Users/username/Library/Preferences/ and in finder's search look for a .plist file with 'airport' in the title and delete it.
Then try and re-connect.
-reset the PRAM and SMC controller on your mac.
-use a different network name/password instead of using old settings. If you still get the error, try resetting the router to try and get it to assign an ip properly.

LocationFree cannot connect through NET AV

Hi. I just recently purchased the lf-v30. I have done everything described in the support PDF in regards to port forwarding yet can't pass the NetAV test to enable me to watch tv over the internet. I shouldn't have had to even bother with that as my router supports upnp but for some reaon that setup won't work either no matter what I do.
Please help me, I'd like to be able to justify this purchase.

Yea, I'd like to see some suggestions on this issue as well. I have another post describing my problem and situation, but bumped this post to the top since it seems to mirror my sentiments. I have try NUMEROUS things and nothing seems to work. It works great within my home network, but the NetAV check feature (for access outside my home) has never passed yet for my LF-PK1. Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot connect to home wi-fi. temporarily connects then disconnects ?

My Droid-X cannot connect to my wi-fi home router. using WPA2-PSK. Phone sees network but will not connect ?
At one point is connected for a few seconds only ?

We certainly want you to be connected at home amc129!
Lets take a look at this! Have you been able to connect previously to the WPA2-PSK setting? Can you connect with other WiFi networks like normal? If so, I recommend contacting the router provider, as a software update or settings change may be necessary. Please keep me posted!
Thanks,
