Cannot connect to the internet with firefox

Firefox opens (sort of) to my Yahoo home page, but shows only my Bookmarks sidebar, and the top toolbars, plus a blank page and a tab labeled "Untitled"
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 9:00AM today. Was fine from 6:30 to 8:00AM. ==

WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Gerard.

The results I obtained using ipconfig in the command prompt have already been mentioned in my OP.
I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

Cannot connect to the Internet with browser when using VPN

I am experiencing an odd network problem and am hoping that someone on this list has seen something similar and can help me isolate the cause.
I have a Mac Pro running Mac OS X (10.5.8) and use Cisco's VPNClient to connect to my employer's network. Some time in the last year I started getting this odd behavior wherein that while connected via VPN, I cannot open external web pages in Safari (Version 5.0 (5533.16)). When this happens I get the following message:
+Safari can't open the page "http://www.google.com/" because your computer isn't connected to the Internet.+
Web pages on the company's internal network work fine. Firefox exhibits the same problem. However, the very odd thing (to me), is that I can get to the Internet using the browser in NetNewsWire. Other services (like twitter) also seem to work fine.
The problem is intermittent and occurs between restarts. After some restarts the problem is not there. Also, connecting and re-connecting via VPNClient does not affect the behavior. If access to the Internet is working then it will continue working, at least until the next restart. If I restart for whatever reason (software update, etc.) the next time it may or may not work.
This has been going on over several updates to Mac OS X and Safari.
Another clue is that my MacBook, also running 10.5.8 works fine when connected from the same home network so I am pretty sure the problem is with my Mac Pro.
Anyone out there have any idea what could be causing this and how to go about fixing the problem?
Thanks in advance,
KP

I couldn't fix it, and the Earthlink technician couldn't fix it...until she checked and found that the starting address: "www.my.earthlink.net" is down. In fact, it's still down, so I'll just continue using Foxfire for awhile. I can connect by typing "www.earthlink.net" in the addres bar, but it's so much easier to just click on Foxfire in my dock. This shows the value of having a spare browser.
I'm going to mark it "solved. Thanks for your help, It was a bit technical for me, but I tried. I had to, having just sent an article about the value of persistence to a friend, how could I fail to persevere?

Cannot connect to the internet with laptop

Background: Started out with iMac connected to Apple Airport Extreme base station via wireless that is connected to broadband/cable linksys modem befcmu10. Then setup Apple Macbook 13" to access internet through Apple Airport Extreme base station via wireless. Worked fine, spectacular. Then setup HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One printer to be accessed through Apple Airport Extreme base station. Again, worked flawlessly. Then setup and "installed" an offline internet Skype phone [Philips VOIP8411B/37] so I could use it's services and not need a computer to be on. It's connected to the Apple Airport Extreme via Ethernet. To get it up and running, I had to reboot my modem and router. Right after I got it up and running I noticed that the Skype phone was working and the iMac was working but the laptop was now not able to connect to the internet.
Present: Finally able to get back to finding a solution, I was trying to look at settings in the network system preferences and researching things to try. Also going to the Airport Utility program trying different things like having it distribute IP address and having it find DNS servers automatically, etc etc etc. Nothing was working to get the Macbook back online. So I rebooted the modem and router again [because i have been experiencing problems with cable company] just for the heck of it. Wa-la, the iMac and laptop were now both using the internet. But before I realized what was happening, the Skype phone was not able to establish a connection. So before I stopped for the night, I shut everything down and rebooted the cable modem and router.
Next morning I awoke and the Skype was working but the iMac and Macbook weren't able to connect. After trying to fiddle with System Preferences and Airport Utility I resorted to reboot the modem and router. iMac worked, Macbook didn't, Skype worked. After a full day of researching, reading and fiddling with preferences on the macs end, I decided to try the reboot of modem and router. Got iMac online, Macbook online, Skype not.
Discovered problem: Apparently only two of the three devices can connect to the "internet" through the Aiport Extreme base station at a time. So right now, I have to sacrifice one device not to connect to the internet. It's the Macbook for now. From what i can see, the use of the printer is not affected [but it's only setup on the iMac].
I've gone into the network diagnostics on the Macbook and under Network Status on the left, Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP are all green, while Internet and Server are yellow for a second while it searches but turn red and stay red. Contacted cable company and everything is good on their end and they couldn't help further. Something is wrong on my end. Now on to apple care or forum help.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion of what to do or where to look? Do I have to change something in the Apple Airport Extreme base station? Network setting? Any help would be much appreciated, it's frustrating and time consuming and I'd like to get it all up and running.
Thank you for your time.

I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
Any suggestions?

I have AirPort Extreme and cannot connect to the internet with a land line but the WiFi works

I have an AirPort Extreme and have been using for several months successfully, but as of two weeks ago, the line that I have hooked up to my desktop no longer provides internet service, but the WiFi works fine for the I-Pad and I-Pod.
I have checked with my service provider and my modem works successfully hooked up the the AirPort extreme or directly to the PC. When I am hooked in from the modem directly to my PC, I have internet for my desktop, but of course no WiFi.
If I connect the Modem to the Router and the router to my desktop, I have WiFi, but no internet service to my desktop.
I have replaced the network cable but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

It appears that there may be something amiss with the Ethernet switch that is built-in the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) or its configuration settings may be incorrect. I assume that you also tried using the other LAN ports on the AEBSn and the outcome was the same ... no Internet access via a wired connection.
One thing to try is to change the Ethernet adapter settings on the PC. It is possible that its current settings may be appropriate when connected directly to the Internet modem, but may be off for connecting to the AEBSn. If your PC's Ethernet adapter has options to control Speed, Duplex, & MTU, I would change these to the following respectively: 1000 Mbps, Full duplex, & 1500

Unable to connect to the internet with firefox but other browsers are fine

i have been a firefox user for years and i have became very dependant on it. However for the past few weeks (i am using the latest version) firefox have been giving me problem. Sporadically and very frequently, there will be connection problem, it would be fine one second and the very next second i cant be connected to anywhere. whatever i click on will not bring me to a new page. it will appear to be loading but eventually nothing will come out. However i do not have this problem with google chrome safari or IE so i do not think its my connection problem. I would really want to continue using firefox so please any help on this?

Cannot connect to the Internet with my Sun Ultra 20 Workstation

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to Solaris world. I have an Ultra 20M running Solaris 10 (x86), and a Linksys 350N router connected to a cable modem. But I am not able to go online. Please can you help me with the commands or steps I need to take for configuring the Solaris for accessing the Internet ?.
Any help, is much appreciated!
Thank you,

Are you using the router to do any verification the cable company needs? I assume so and if you are not I would set it up so it does (if it is even needed with cable internet).
After that it should be simply a matter of turning on DHCP. The easiest way is to type sys-unconfig as root. That will 'reset' all of the important network settings. Choose dhcp. The default router address is probably something like 192.168.0.1 or 1.1
I believe that will be both your gateway and dns.
This all assumes you are using the router as a router and not a switch.
You can then use the router as a firewall and dmz your ultra if you feel like connecting to it from the outside (if you have a static ip for your router).
Same goes with windows, linux, BSD, Apple etc... nothing solaris specific but the sys-unconfig bit.

TA48312 I'm using iTunes 11 final version on my pc windows 7 and I cannot connect to the internet with any of its feautures. why? I'll be grateful if you help,thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,
First of all I was not one of iTues users till by chance discovered its amazing features of downloading all kinds of items that help in education in particular. I set up iTunes version 8 I gusse and it was working properly either by using direct connect to the material or downloading it. Then, I made I mistake when I tried version 11 and everything stopped working. No downloading or even connecting the web. I'm a student and I'm in a bad need to this wonderful programme. I must not forget that I tried many steps to solve this problem by uninstalling iTunes with its contents from its roots till registry files, and I set up the old version once and then the newer version 11 and finally version 9 and all my trials were in vain. Please I need your help and advise. I'm looking forward for your reply and thanks in advance for your care.
adam karim,

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Cannot connect to the Internet with my Satellite 1800-712

Hi,
had to reinstall WXP on my Satellite 1800-712, unfortunately have not the recovery disk otherwise it would all be ok.
Now I cannot get onto internet, I have downloaded new LAN drivers, installed them ok, LAN is set for auto detect, USB wireless dongle drivers installed all ok.
In my tray (bottom right) icon shows networks but with red cross... I get a message saying wireless networks are within range, click to see networks... when I click , sunscreen comes up saying no networks in range..... aarrrgggh.
What can I do, please?

Hello
Have you checked if the WLAN card is enabled on your notebook?
The hardware switch on the notebook must be set to on and you can also enable it with FN+F8.
Check this!!
Furthermore check the device manager for yellow exclamation marks. Maybe you should reinstall the driver. Therefore select the WLAN card in device manager and choose uninstall. Restart the notebook and install the newest WLAN driver from the Toshiba website.
Last but not least make sure that the router is in range of the notebook.
Good luck!

I have downloaded the new update for Firefox 3.6 and now cannot connect to the internet. I've checked my firewall and have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but nothing works.

After installing the new update for Firefox 3.6, no matter what I do, I cannot connect to the internet using Firefox. I can get on the internet using my other browsers (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer), so Firefox is the only one that doesn't work. I have already checked my firewall and have added and removed Firefox from my firewall to no avail. I've also already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but so far it hasn't helped.

I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

I am unable to connect to the web on my desktop with Firefox 8, the program displays but will not connect to the Internet, Other browsers Internet Explorer and Opera do connect on the same machine. McAfee is not blocking it, virus checks detect no virus yet yesterday it worked perfectly

I tried what was suggested by starting in Safe Mode but the problem still exists. I am frustrated as I cannot connect to my Verizon Fios page. I can connect to the Internet with the Firefox Browser and can go to any web site except finding my Verizon Home page.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
