Cannot connect to Wi-fi outside of my home counrty.

I cannot use my Macbooks’ airport to connect to Wi-fi within Japan. In the U.S. I never had problems connecting, using multiple locations across multiple states.  However, in Japan at multiple locations (Starbucks, local cafe, my own room)  it always fails. Airport recognizes access points, says it is connected, but the web page never loads.  I know that all of these locations are working as I also have an iPad and it has no trouble recognizing the access points and connecting. If I insert my ethernet cable, i have no trouble using the internet on my macbook. Can anyone help me to figure this out. As I am in Japan, I cannot exactly walk into the nearest Apple store and ask for help.(My Japanese being only on the most basic of levels) Nor, can I call America's apple support as I do not have a phone that can call outside of the country.

If your iPad connects to other Wi-Fi networks ok then the problem definitely lies in your Wi-Fi network. Try the suggestions given by Diavonex. If they do not work check to see if there is a firmware update for your Wi-Fi router in your home.

  • Cannot connect to the iTunes Store from my home network since I upgraded to ios 6

    I own an iPad 2 and recently upgraded to ios 6. Since then, I cannot connect to the iTunes store from my home network.  I can navigate any other site and access any other application.  I can even reach the iTunes store through My Personal Hotspot and through my office network. 
    Has anyone experienced something similar?  My network carrier is Telmex and I know for sure, they block port 25.  Any guess on whether there could be a setting impeding connection?
    Help!!!

    Hi Nickey,
    If you are having difficulty connecting to the iTunes store from your PC there are a number of things you can try to get connected again. Details are available in this article -

  • Cannot connect to 1 Ghz G4 Flatpanel on home intranet or from INTERNET.

    Here is the set up:
    1) Powerbook G4 Aluminum running Leopard 10.5.1
    2) White iMac Dual Corp Intel running Leopard 10.5.1
    3) 1 Ghz Flatpanel G4 iMac running Leopard 10.5.1
    Items 1 thru 3 are HOME networked using an ACTIONTEC DSL modem which distributes intranet addresses WIRELESSLY to all computers running Airport band B/G. DSL service is per Qwest.
    4) White iMac Dual Corp Intel running Leopard 10.5.1 wireless on Office network behind firewall with appropriate ports opened and directed to target computer at home.
    PROBLEMATIC BEHAVIOR.
    Prior to upgrade from Tiger, I could remote in from the office using both my desktop, or my laptop which I never have online at the same time since they share the same fixed internal IP address. This could view and control the one targeted computer behind the DSL Modem/wireless router at home. When at home, with the laptop or using the intel iMac, I could use ARD to monitor/view and control any computer in the home intranet.
    Once upgraded to Leopard, ARD still works from the office into the home for the intel dual core desktop machine. However, I cannot connect to the flat panel G4 desktop AT ALL. It is visible on my list of computers and shows available (or sometimes Screen sharing avialable). It will not allow me to view with screen sharing over iChat either.
    Solutions tried: just about everything I can find on this website / discussion list. Nothing works to bring this flat panel G4 online. And, other than remoting in when away from home to help my wife with her desktop, the G4, used by my teen boys, is the machine I really need to surveil.
    Does any guru out there think that an uninstall reinstall of ARD files would help?
    I need this solved definitively.
    Thanks

    PS: Yes, ports are open at home and at work. From inside the intranet at home I can see the G4 domed base mac but not connect. If I reconfigure the ports to target the computer from the internet it demonstrates the same behavior: I can see it listed as available but msg: Cannot connect is returned.
    Sorry if that was unclear to begin with.

  • Azure VM cannot connect from inside to outside

    My centos VM suddenly does not response when I "git pull"
    At first I thought it was the git server, then I realized wget or ping did not work as well.
    Anyone can kindly help me with the issue?

    You need to add a public endpoint to your Windows Azure service. This endpoint with a public IP address is then connected to the internal IP address of your virtual machine. You can also configure automatic load balancing if you have more than one server
    hosting your service. Adding an endpoint is documened

    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.

  • External users cannot connect to RDS Farm (Azure).

    Hi Experts,
    I hope someone is able to help me with this. I have search high and low, but have not found a solution.
    Here we go:
    I have setup a RDS Farm in Microsoft Azur, consisting of the following servers:
    KRPDC01 (Domain Controler / Active Directory / DNS Server)
    KRPSH01 (Remote Session Host #1)
    KRPSH02 (Remote Session Host #2)
    KRPCB01 (Connection Broker)
    I have installed the respective Remote session roles on the above server and added my group of users to the "Remote Desktop Users" group on each Session Host server.  
    At first glance it seems to work. I seem to be able to connect to the farm with the first user. But most of the times, when a second users tries to connect to the same farm, then login hangs for a time, and the connection is refused with this message:
    "Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer for one of the following reasons:
    1) Remote Access to the server is not enabled
    2) The Remote Computer is turned off
    3) The Remote Computer is not available on the network
    Make sure that the remote computer is turned on and connected to the network, and that remote access is enabled."
    Sometimes not even the first user can connect to the farm at all with the same error message.
    I have looked into the logs on the connection broker, and something interesting shows up.
    It seems that whenever the connection broker wants to redirect a users connection request to a different server than the one that recieved the connection request, then the connection fails. If however the connection broker grants the connection to the same
    server as the request is comming from, then the user is logged in.
    Here are the log entries when the connection fails:
    "RD Connection Broker received connection request for user xxx\testuser. 
    Hints in the RDP file (TSV URL) = tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.KRPCLOUD 
    Initial Application = NULL 
    Call came from Redirector Server = KRPSH01.xxx.net 
    Redirector is configured as Farm member"
    Followed by:
    "RD Connection Broker successfully processed the connection request for user xxx\testuser. Redirection info: 
    Target Name = KRPSH02 
    Target IP Address = 10.4.3.7 
    Target Netbios = KRPSH02 
    Target FQDN = KRPSH02.xxx.net 
    Disconnected Session Found = 0x0"
    The a few minutes later this entry is found in the log:
    "Remote Desktop Connection Broker Client failed to redirect the user xxx\testuser
    Error: NULL"
    These are the log entries when the connection is successfull:
    "RD Connection Broker received connection request for user xxx\testuser 
    Hints in the RDP file (TSV URL) = tsv://MS Terminal Services Plugin.1.KRPCLOUD 
    Initial Application = NULL 
    Call came from Redirector Server = KRPSH02.xxx.net 
    Redirector is configured as Farm member"
    Followed by:
    "RD Connection Broker successfully processed the connection request for user xxx\testuser. Redirection info: 
    Target Name = KRPSH02 
    Target IP Address = 10.4.3.7 
    Target Netbios = KRPSH02 
    Target FQDN = KRPSH02.xxx.net 
    Disconnected Session Found = 0x0"
    And then:
    "Session for user KASSERAPPORTEN\krptest successfully added to RD Connection Broker's database. 
    Target Name = KRPSH02.kasserapporten.net 
    Session ID = 2 
    Farm Name = KRPCLOUD"
    And:
    "This connection request has resulted in a successful session logon (User successfully logged on to the end point). Remote Desktop Connection Broker will stop monitoring this connection request."
    If I connect to one of the other servers on the network - the KRPDC01 - and from there connects to the RDS Farm (internally) then there is no problem recieving the connections. Also connections where the broker has to redirect the connection to a differing
    Session Host is completed without problems.
    I have noticed than when successfully connection from internally where the connection is redirected by the connection broker, then I actually recieved 2 certificate warnings. One first from the Session Host that have recieved the connection request, and the
    shortly after from the second Session Host (when the connection broker is redirecting the connection) and then the connection is established.
    When connection from the outside, I never get the second certificate warning.
    In Azure I have setup indpoint for Remote Desktop - TCP/3389 on both Session Host servers and on the Connection broker.
    As mentioned I am at a total loss, and I hope someone out there is able to help me solve this issue.
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Daniél

  • Odd Intermittent Browser "Cannot Connect" to Sakai

    Hello All,
    This one has really stumped the professor...
    In short, the problem is that there is one site hosting Sakai for the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) that I, and only I, have intermittent problems connecting to. By that I mean, just me out of hundreds of people currently, and thousands of people over history.
    The host is http://www.longsight.com/ and the system is Sakai.
    I am using an Airport Simultaneous Dual-Band 7.5.2, an iMac and Macbook Pro both using 10.6.7, Earthlink as the ISP using PPPoE, and a ZyXEL P-600 Series DSL modem, and FireFox 4.0.
    Everything has worked without a hitch for years. The only website I have issue with is sakai.ohsu.edu, hosted by LongSight.
    The intermittent problem is that FireFox reports it cannot connect to the site when I navigate. When I refresh, it seems to usually refresh fine.
    Same problem with Safari and Chrome.
    Same problem with both the iMac and the MacBook Pro.
    Same problem with an Ethernet cable connected directly to the back of the Airport to either.
    Does not seem to be a problem with the modem connected directly to either computer (intermittent, remember, so I am not 100% certain, but I have not gotten it to happen).
    The LongSite host provider sees nothing odd in the logs.
    If I click the Try Again that FireFox puts up, I get logged out of Sakai and have to log back in. If I instead just refresh in FireFox, the page seems to load.
    Q: Is there a "tolerance" setting that would prevent this problem from happening?
    Q: Is there anything to ask the host to do? Setting to check?

    When its just one web page - you can access other web pages like Google or Apple - the problem is the Intenet connection between you and the server hosting the web page you want.
    Nothing to do with your local equipment or connection.  There are local settings you could set or have changed that would prevent connecting to a specific web site, I'm going to assume that is not the case since you don't mention fiddling with the HOSTS file (for example).
    If the server that hosts that page is not "down" or over-loaded then the problem most likley lies with your ISP's network.
    To try and get a glimmer of what is wrong, open your Applications/Utilities folder and run "Network Utility".  Click on the TRACEROUTE tab and enter the host name for the page you want.
    For example, the Sakai page address is "http://www.longsight.com/longsight/sakai".  The name of the server hosting that page is "www.longsight.com".  I put that into the TRACEROUTE field, and press the TRACE button.
    What happens next is your computer attempts to figure out exaclty HOW all data between you and the target server are exchanged.  The internet is like a spider web, and at each junction there is a computer that handles (aka routes) traffic.
    For your web page attempts to work, you need a reliable "route" to the server that hosts the web page you want.  This utility will generate a list of all the internet nodes and networks your request has to travel through.  The list should end with the target server in under 15-20 "hops".  If the list is much longer - or if it keeps going and going - then you have a DNS routing problem.  Or rather, your ISP has one.
    Because the Internet is flexible, extensible, and self-healiing routing problems should go away on their own - it might take a day or two.  But shoddy maintenance or configuration of network equipment can create routing problems that don't go away until fixed.
    Another problem I have seen is intentional filtering or mis-directing of requests from a certain provider or geropgrahic region.  For example, a NYC based company offered a contest only for local residents, so they had thier ISP filter-out all connection attempts coming from outside of NYC.  Very sneaky.
    Another example would be companies trying to prevent access to Facebook.  They setup their network to drop any requests for that name or address - or re-direct to a corporate Internet use policy web page!
    For reference, here is my TRACEROUTE report for this server:

  • Cannot connect to ag-sql-listener from Secondary Server

    Greetings,
    I have a Azure VM setup with two SQLs SQL1 and SQL2, they run a High Availability setup with SQL-AG-Listener as the listener name. 
    My problem is currently is that if I have SQL1 as Primary, when I'm logged into SQL2 I can't use the SQL-AG-Listener as target to get the Primary server. However I can do a connection to SQL1 directly. 
    On the Primary server I can however use the SQL-AG-Listener and will get the local server as expected. 
    The SQL-AG-Listener works perfectly from outside the local network of Azure.
    ===================================
    Cannot connect to ag-sql-listener.
    ===================================
    A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
    Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
    ===================================
    I don't know what else I can try and do now. I have run through most of the issue handling as I can, all from Opening all ports to and from both the SQL servers on the domain level. Made sure that named pipes, TCP/IP connections on both SQL servers was enabled.
    As I can run towards them from the outside, and can connect to them directly on name from the SQL servers themselves, then I know that they can take remote access.
    Any idea on what I might be missing would be welcome.

    Yes, I know I had a typo in the above, where the ag-sql-listener was typed wrong.. It was ofcause SQL-AG-Listener.
    But it is still a problem. I don't know if there are some DNS things that can be done, as it seems this is a problem from within the same subnet and not from outside.

  • Windows cannot connect to printer. 0x00...2

    I work in a Domain environment where we have hundreds of printers on about a Dozen Print Servers. Some are 2003 and others are 2008. The Server I'm working with is 2003. The client work stations are Windows 7. We have several printers not mapping to the
    designated clients. All installation of printers are controlled via scripts through GPO and based on what security group they belong in. 
    As far as I can see the computers are in the proper AD security group. But as students and staff log into the desktops, none of the printers show up. And when I try to manually connect the printer by going to the UNC path \\XXX-XX\printer_name it gives me
    the "Windows cannot connect to printer"..... with a code of 0x00...2 (there are a bunch of zeros in there). 
    Now we have other printers that are mapped and are available to everyone. Its just those that are connected via a security group. So if a machine is in Room 123 and in the 123 group, they should get a color printer and a B&W printer for that room. 
    For some reason the color printer is not showing up, but the B&W is. Outside that group, other teachers can connect via their laptop, or other desktop. But All the computers that the students use, cannot map the printer. 
    I've tried the registry fix to clear drivers, I've renamed the "3" folder and that didn't work. I've tried applying Hotfixes but the ones I was given stated that they were designed for my version of windows. Even though the fix was for Windows
    7. 
    I'm getting frustrated. Simple Printer 101 tricks aren't working. I think this is a level up higher and could be script or Domain related. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    If the printer driver uses color profiles, make sure the color profile files are installed on the machine.  Including the print driver name and where you got the driver might be useful.

  • System Update -- Cannot connect to proxy server - SOLVED

    I'm on a ThinkPad T61 running Windows Vista.  When I try to download from System Update, I always get the error message "Cannot connect to proxy server."
    I have tried connecting to the Internet directly via Ethernet rather than through a wireless router--it doesn't make any difference.
    I have also uninstalled System Update and then installed the version I downloaded from lenovo.com--same result.
    System Update is an exception in Windows Firewall, and I have even tried running System Update with Firewall disabled--ditto.
    Can someone please help me?
    Message Edited by Tim_Lenovo on 01-29-2008 02:49 PM
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have discovered one other potential cause of this behaviour.
    If your computer is attached to a Domain, ensure you are connected to the Domain using a profile that has administrator rights when attempting these upgrades.
    I was using a local profile with administrative rights, on a network connection that was outside of the corporate LAN, and I was getting the "Cannot connect to proxy server" error.
    When I connected to our Corporate LAN and logged on to the machine with an administrative profile, the Proxy Server error went away, and I was then able to connect and download my required updates.

    I have 2 NAS-SV20i systems (Network Audio System/Server).  Earlier this year I posted that both systems were no longer connecting to Slacker. Sony Tech Support did not resolve the issue and stopped responding to my questions.  Now, both systems have stopped connecting to vTuner.
    Once again I have checked to make sure the firmware is up to date.  I have unregistered and re-registered on the Slacker site but this did not resolve the issue. The only other app that works on the system is the Pandora app.  I have confirmed that both systems can connect to Pandora, so I know the NAS is reaching outside of my home network.
    I would appreciate help resolving this issue.  I used Slacker daily until it failed. Then I used vTuner almost as frequently until it also failed.  I'm becoming very disappointed in the Sony product at this point, these apps were a major reason why I bought the systems in the first place and it seems that Sony is not maintaining support for them.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    This thread appears to have died.  I tried working with technical support over the phone, but I kept getting routed to the "wrong person".  Back to the message board I guess.  Since originally posting I've done more trouble shooting:
    I have 2 NAS-SV20i in my house with different Slacker accounts.  Neither one can connect to the app
    All other apps (Pandora, vTuner) work on both systems
    Both Slacker accounts are active and are registered to the NAS-SV20i.  I have re-registered both systems to Slacker and still cannot connect
    The firmware on the NAS-SV20I are all up to date
    I feel like I am out of things to try on my side, I still need help from Sony on this one!
    Anyone else having trouble connecting to the Slacker App?

  • Cannot connect to webmail, or popmail

    This problem began about 2/11/15. I didn't notice it right away because access from work is working fine. Access from home is the problem.
    We have had the same setup, FIOS, modem/router/coputers for at keast 2 years. No changes have been made. I still use eudora on my computer, my wife uses incredimail on hers. Both of us have the same exact problem.
    From the email client all attempts to rec or send mail return a "cannot connect to server" response.
    I can access the verizon web site with firefox, scroll to the bottom and select check mail, and the page times out. Entering the address webmail.verizon.net also times out with a page saying auth.verizon.net has timed out.
    On any and all verizon web pages that have any kind of sign in button, I cannot get it to work. It usually comes up with a blank box, or nothing at all.
    I have tried firefox and iexplorer.
    On Sunday, a Verizon tech spent about an hour on my computer, installed chrome with the same result, reset the router and the fios box on the outside of the house. He tried pings to webmail.verizon.net and they timed out. He finally said it must be on their end. This morning I contacted them from work because it still wasn't working at home. They wanted to run me through all of the same steps the first tech did on Sunday.
    I have tried using an alternate DNS with no luck.
    *Everything* else works. My non Verizon email works, all web sites work including secure sites. If anyone has a clue please advise. I don't know what else to do except spend another hour with the Verizon guys and feel we are getting no where.
    Thank you

    I read your post when I got home last night but could not reply. When I click the reply button the page timed out with the message:
    The connection has timed out
    The server at signin.verizon.com is taking too long to respond.
    To answer your question, yes. I cannot access my account or anything requiring a "sign in" on the Verizon site. When I go to verizon.net and click the sign in button at the upper right, a blank box, about 3 inches drops down with a dotted outline and completely blank inside.
    I also did a trace to pop.verizon.net and will post the results. I am not that savey with this stuff so I'm not sure what it means but I believe it shows I cannot connect to it.

    I dusted off a laptop I haven't used in 5 months, fired it up and immediately went to the verizon site and the sign in timed out. Email also did not work. My home computers use Win 7 Pro, but the laptop is Win XP sp3.
    It has been almost a week now that we have not had email service at home and no one at verizon takes this seriously, only wanting to get on my computer, which I did cooperate with, and they found nothing wrong. But there the support stops. I've been a Verizon DSL/Fios customer probably 15 years, but there are alternative services available that work. This is getting frustrating.
    Thank you.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes Store via iPad

    When I am outside of my home wi-fi I cannot connect to the iTunes store via the App Store on my iPad.  iPad software is current (updated this morning at home).  Rebooted iPad.  I can access the internet via Safari, get current email, run Netflix, etc. but cannot access iTunes store via the App Store.  This issue happens whenever I use a public wi-fi (hotels, airports, etc.) rather than my home wi-fi.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    Ok, I found a solution that worked for me when trying to connect to the iTunes store by tapping the "update" button in the "App Store" app on my iPad 2. Before the solution was implemented I'd always get the error message "cannot connect to iTunes store". Once the solution was implemented I now can connect to iTunes using the "update" button in the "App Store" app and I get the normal message "All apps are up to date". The solution is this:  go into Settings, then General, then scroll to the bottom where it says Date and Time. Tap Date and Time and then turn OFF Set Automatically. When you do that a new option will be added that says Set Date and Time. Tap it. You'll now get a drop down feature. Set the Date AHEAD 2 YEARS. The Time you can leave alone.
    Once you do that you might get a bunch of reminders and messages that your apps and stuff haven't been updated in two years. Click cancel or close on each of those messages or reminders. Now go back into Settings, General, Date and Time, and turn Set Automatically back to ON. Reboot your iPad. Open the App Store app again and go to the Update button. It might ask you to log back in to your iTunes account. It should now work. If not, close the App Store app completely and open again and try the update button. Hope this helps.
