Cant connect laptops to internet
We bought a Linksys wireless N router about a month ago. model number WRT160N V3.
Set it up, things were working fine. We have 2 laptops, one with vista, one with xp.
Last night, everything was working fine, this morning, the laptops will not connect.
I went onto the home computer, from there it said everything was working...but it shows the laptops as offline. I tried restarting everything, and cant figure out what is wrong.
Can someone please help?
Thanks
I would suggest you to reconfigure the wireless settings on your Router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab.. Select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box.Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
For Wireless SecurityClick on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 ...Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 ..Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Cant connect wirelessly to internet after installing iphoto 9.2.1
I recently upgraede my system to 10.6.8. Today I downloaded and installed iPhoto 9.2.1 (going from 6.0.6). Now I cant connect to the internet wirelessly. Ethernet works. Could these actions have something to do with causing this problem?
Probsbly good to post in the OS forum along with the error message when it failes to connect
Is this failure only from iPhoto or from all software on teh Mac?

Cant connect to the internet using my wrt54g
i bought the linksys wrt54g yesterday brought it home put in the setup disk and everythin was goin good until it came to step 10 and an error message came up saying: cant connect to the internet please shut off modem and turn it back on so tryed that still didnt work. so i found a thread when i searched this problem that said i had to bridge my westell 6100 modem to the router or somthin like that so i followed those steps and it still doesnt work can som1 help me please!?
Did you try to change the routers Ip address to 192.168.2.1?
I am not sure of that modem and not sure if it has a built in router ot not. Call your ISP and see if that modem is also a router running DHCP and everything else.

Connecting laptop to internet via mobile phone
I would like to connect my Toshiba Portege laptop to the internet via my Nokia 6280 phone using bluetooth.
I have a connection between the two using nokia pc suit but cannot get internet connection to work.
The phone connects to the internet OK. I did try setting the connection up once but the could only get it to use IR the laptop wanted to know loads of information that I did not have, I think it was all set up on the phone via text message download.
Anyway, any information/experiances you have would be much appreciated.

Unable to connect laptop to Internet.
I have an iMac, pc and two laptops. All had a wireless connection to the internet via an old Belkin router which died this week. I purchased an Airport extreme 802.11n and set up a new network with this. I had no problem until I came to the last laptop running XP. It picks up my network but when I go to connect it allows connection but recognises it as an unidentified public network and only gives local access to the network and not the internet. I have tried all my limited knowledge allows but cannot get laptop to connect to internet. Can anyone help.
Ok, let's try this one step at a time, if you don't mind.
Let's start by connecting the Vista laptop to the AEBSn by Ethernet. Can it access the Internet now?
While connected by Ethernet; From the Vista desktop, open a Command window by entering cmd into the Search window, and then, press <Enter>.
At the command prompt, enter ipconfig /all, and then, press <Enter>. In the resulting display, under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection, note the values for:
o DHCP Enabled
o Autoconfiguration Enabled
o IPv4 Address
o Default Gateway
o DHCP Server
o DNS Servers
I would expect that both DHCP Enabled & Autoconfiguration Enabled values should be "Yes." The IPv4 Address value should be something like: 192.168.n.n or 10.0.1.n, depending on how you have the AEBSn configured for DHCP. The Default Gateway should be something like 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.1.1, and there should be at least one IP address for the DNS Servers field. -

iTunes could not connect to the iPod software update server because you are not connected to the internet.
I don't understand why this is happening and would like to know why. Is there anyway I can get a direct download of the update some where on the "internets". Thanks for any help. -

Software update cant connect to the internet
I connect to the internet via wifi on my MBP and I can have say firefox connecting to the internet, mail checks fine, itunes store works, but Safari and Mac Software Updater wont connect. Any Ideas?
Ive tried resetting PRAM,
Tried the network diagnostic, but that says its all fine but a rerun of the updater still no connection.
Tried various signal strengths to the modem.
check/verify permissions and Hard disk.I have had this error returned for months... Not just during the holidays. Dozens of other users are having/have been having the same issue. SU starts just fine, gets to about 25 meg (in my case) and times out, returns the error you quoted. Smaller files usually (but not always) come thru ok. A common thread with all the posts I have read seems to be DSL. On a different thread, it was suggested the modem can get out of synch with the server due to line or modem issues such as forgetting to put filter in all phone jacks.
Anyway, I'm going to give SU another go... It probably won't work... -
the computer is brand new and im trying to install everything, but it just wont work
im in college, so i cant get closer to the router because its not mine.
this is the first time i am using this computer. it connects to the wifi, but when i open safari it freezes up and i have to force quit -
Connecting laptop to internet via cell phone
I heard i can use my cell phone to connect my laptop to the internet, i currently have a lg envy touch , with a 25 megabyte plan which would not be enough as I am wanting to get rid of current dsl plan and wanting to use my wireless plan as my only paid source of internet connection in my home.
I can upgrade plan to unlimited for 29.99 per month which is what i currently pay for my home dsl. I was told by verizon rep i could use a smartphone ( droid/ droid incredible) to set up a wireless connection in which i could also use my ipod and nintendo dsi to connect to internet as well at the same time as the laptop.
So my thinking is i add another line to my 2100 minute family plan for additional monthly cost of 9.99 get the droid for 199.99 with the unlimited plan of 29.99 bringing my total monthly bill to 170.00 minus taxes. I currently only use about 900-1000 minutes but the savings of dropping minutes just doesnt seem worth it to me as I have children on my plan and their minutes will increase at some point and I would rather be locked in to a plan that gives me more than needed.
So I am wondering if others on this forum could give me their opinion/advise?
Does anyone else use the unlimited 29.99 plan as their only source of internet connection? and how fast/slow etc?
If it matters I will be using the internet connection in Pasadena Texas and mainly we use the internet for general searches on basic info, job searches, facebook, ipod music, no gaming or anything complicated, just a typical basic internet family use.
Thank you so much!
ShannonIn addition to the unlimited $29.99 data plan, you would also need a $29.99 tethering plan, so it would cost you $60 a month - and the connection would not be as good as your DSL. And we use our DSL to connect to a router and have several laptops and desktops using our DSL, which would not work with a tethered connection. My advice - skip the tethering and keep the DSL.

Cant connect PC to internet through Mac
Under Tiger used to connect to internet via cable modem (ppp protocol) on my macmini. My wife also used to connect to internet using internet sharing (notebook with windows xp).
Last night I installed Leopard and suddenly theres no way we share internet connection. I can connect directly through cable modem (on leopard) and she can connect directly (on win xp), but when trying to share connectionthroug my mac - no way.
Tried different setups but nothing works... Also tried and the same configuration works using machine with Tiger installed.
Both computers are connected to switch and then to cable modem.
Ideas?Similar problem here:
Pre-Leopard, I was able to share my ethernet connection (single IP address from ISP) to another PC Laptop via AirPort on my PowerBook G4 (no WEP password set up).
Post-Leopard, I am able to turn on internet sharing, again, no WEP password set up. The PC laptop can see my network, but when I try to connect, it wouldn't do the trick.
10.5.1 update didn't help. T_T
Another person has a similar problem in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1245394&tstart=0) and mentions NAT Server vs. Network Bridging issue.
Anyone out there know the solution? Please help.

Firefox cant connect to the internet after a while of being on
Hi,
I posted this question some time ago and since i didnt get any working solution and I still have this issue I am reposting it now. My problem is simple: I start up my computer and open Firefox. I browse the internet normally. No problem so far. But lets say I go to take a nap or I just stop browsing to do something else on the computer without closing Firefox or whatsoever. After a while I go back to browsing on Firefox (the same window with the same tabs are still open) but now no page will finish loading no matter how long i wait.
So I close Firefox and open it again. Then I get a popup error saying Firefox is still running and that i need to close it. When i close that popup then i get another error saying it was unable to load my profile. I close that and reopen Firefox. Now it loads pages normally again but but only for 1 or 2 minutes and not any more after that. I repeat the whole process and i still get the same results until i restart my computer.
I have checked for any viruses and i have none at all and there is absolutely no problem with my overall connection since no other programs have this problems only Firefox. What can i do?
Thank you.
Edit: Im having the issue right now and I just checked but seems like some tabs work and some dont so i really dont get it.Hi again,
I have been testing and I still have this issue. I ran the recommended antivirus multiple times and seems like i got rid of the speedbit malware and so but it didnt any good. What can I do now? This problem is driving me crazy.
Thank you.

I have an airport express connected the my belkin ethernet swtich, The switch is connected to my DSL-302G internet modem, and also my computer. The internet on my windows PC is fine.
But on my macbook, there no internet connection, everything seems to be right. Plus the airport extreme light is green. BUT NO INTERNET connection
HELP MEEEEEEE!
btw. I have tried turning off, restarting and all that, and waited a long time between periods. doesnt work..
Please run me through step by step, the procedure to make my internet work on my macbook!
thank you.So there is no absolute way that my ethernet switch would make the airport extreme work ?
Yes, that is correct.
Since that is the case, Please also tell how to set it up. If i get a gateway, will the airport express still work ? Or does this gateway your talking about the solution and i need to take the airport express & my belkin ethernet switch back to the retailer?
With an Internet gateway, like the AirPort Extreme Base Station, you can replace both the Belkin switch and AirPort Express as the Extreme would perform both of these functions. However, if you have a requirement to stream iTunes, then you will still need to retain the Express. -
