Connect to router but not internet

I recently got a WRT54G Wireless router and easily configured it to run on my Mac but when I try to set it up for my PC it will ping the router but nothing on the internet. Can anyone help me figure out how to setup the corrrect connection on a Xindows XP. My service provider gave me no password or login name to get on the internet.

I've got the same problem. The Linksys Wireless Monitor says that it's connected to the access point, but the internet can not be found. It sometimes indicates that it's connected to the internet for a moment or two, then loses it. We have 3 computers and this problem is only happening with one of them. The computer in question just started having this problem. It previously worked fine.
Despite indicating that it's connected to the access point, I can not connect to the router's admin interface.
I tried safe mode with networking, but still wasn't able to connect.
Any more ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one. found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
but I can't go online! I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card. my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be? I already tried rebooting the router, but no results. I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
any suggestions? thank you so much in advance

It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration. When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
From a command window, try typing:
ipconfig
It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
If you don't get a valid IP and route, try running: ipconfig /renew
See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
ping 192.168.0.1
If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
Start->Control Panel
Double click Network Connections
Check for DHCP:
   Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
   Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
   Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
   Click OK in both boxes.
Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

WRT54G can connect to router but not internet

A few days ago, I stopped being able to connect to the internet through my router. I have a desktop which is connected to my cable modem. My desktop connection works fine, but I cannot connect wirelessly with my laptop. Even if I connect a wired connection to my router, it will not connect to the internet. I have tried updating firmware and that did not help. When I try to diagnose the problem through windows, it tells me that "There may be a problem with the DNS". Also, when I look at the status tab in the router site, it shows that the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are all 0.0.0.0. Any ideas?

hey guys you have your connections the wrong way...
here's what your connection should be the cable modem should always be connected to the router, that means that the desktop (which is online) should not be connected to the modem...because, the your modem might only give out one ip address that means only ONE device behind the modem can go online, now either the router or the desktop gets the internet connection.so if your desktop is the one getting the ip address from the modem, so make sure that the modem is connected to the ROUTER ONLY...
after connecting the modem to the router, connect the computer at the back of the router, so all the devices should be connected behind the router. in that way the router could get the internet connection from the modem and the router could give multiple ip addresses on all of the devices or computers that you're gonna connect to the router...
then if ever the router still doesn't give internet connection try resetting the router and try to reconfigure it as well....

Cannot find PPoE host, can connect to router but not internet

I've been having trouble since I tried using the router. At first, I had no security, then I set up the security and couldn't connect to the router. That finally solved, sometimes when trying to connect to the router, I get the message cannot find PPoE host. But, my connection continues to show that it is strong in the bar at the top.
So, I try to get on the internet -- Safari, Firefox -- no go.
I run network diagnostics and the first three settings are lit, but the ISP, Internet and Server all show as failed.
I'm connecting via airport and a linksys router.
Thanks for any help

You'll have to go into your router's settings and make sure they're correct. When you connect to the internet through a router, the router has to be set up with the appropriate IP information (like setting it for PPPoE). If you have set your router up properly, then all you have to do is connect your Mac to it, either wirelessly or over ethernet, and it should auto-configure if you have your Network settings on "DHCP" (not the manual DHCP, though). You will get an IP address assigned by your router if it worked.
Hope that helps. Networking is always confusing.

Help - Can Connect to Router but not Internet

I just upgraded to a new hard drive. After reinstalling Windows XP, I tried to connect to my router (WRT54GS) which is working fine, but can't connect to the internet. This is a second laptop (first still connected to internet just fine). I've tried connecting directly to the router via ethernet cable and wirelessly, but can't connect to the internet either way. I'm looking for any advice on how to resolve! Thanks!!

Connect the computer to the router .... access web interface of the router ....
Look for MAC address clone sub-tab .... under setup tab .... click enable & clone ..... click save settings ....
Go to status tab ..... look for internet ip address ....
Do power cycle ....
Check if you are online or not .....

Will connect to router but not internet!!!

If there is anything I absolutely detest about Apple, it's the fact that their wifi *****. I have never had problems with my PowerPC iMac, but my two intels, a macbook and my newest, a macbook pro, have ALWAYS had connection problems. One of the problems I have had with my macbook is that, when using DHCP to connect, the computer will without warning reassign completely different values for all three fields. However when i do it properly manually, it still doesn't connect to the internet. What I do to remedy this is I manually assign the proper values and quickly switch it to DHCP and then hit renew DHCP lease and wait til the right values come up on screen. Now, with my MBP, I can't even do that to make it work and my 3 year old macbook can get on just fine. I've tried everything in the book. I've even tried calling the "Geniuses" at the Apple store. They couldn't give me an answer.

sorry i said s*cks and they bleeped me out. not much of a cuss word if you ask me. Anyway, I finally figured out the problem. While the DHCP wouldn't work, I noticed my macbook has the DNS address already established. So I put it in manual and I added the DNS address and it works now. power cycling the router didn't work though so I guess its just a failure to communicate between the router and my mbp. Did I mention my router is a Netgear? I need to buy a Linksys; works so much better.

Can connect to router, but not internet

I just recently have been unable to connect to the internet. I have tried everything, reset network settings, reboot ipad, router, and computer. I show the wifi locations and when I select them I show the bars, but when I go to the internet I get an error message. My Iphone is doing the same thing.

Yes, my Windows computers connect with no problem. All my Apple products are having issues; either very slow connection or timing out. I haven't tried them at other locations, but will when I get a chance.
Actually, Ralph's question was to tclowers who started this thread. Perhaps to avoid confusion you should start a new discussion specifically for your problem.

On Windows Xp machines, can connect to router but not internet

Yesterday, I bought an Airport Extreme to replace my current router. I setup my network successfully and my macbook can connect fine. However, I have 2 Microsoft XP machines that can connect to the router (it sees it and connects), but I can't access the internet from these machines. For my network, I had to use a bridge mode. Any suggestions?

Solution:
1.Connect to internet via LAN
2.Open browser to be sure you are connecting to the internet via LAN.
3.Open up Airport utility from the PC
4.Be sure you still have a wireless connection to the base station
5.Open Airport Set up system while still connected to the internet via LAN.
6.Run through system set up with the same settings, or different just as long as the base station reboots while you are connected to internet via LAN.
7.After base station reboots, disconnect LAN cord, or disable LAN connection.
8.After LAN is disconnected, try opening up a browser via your wireless connection.
9.For me I was reconnected to internet via my wireless connection.

Airport Connects to Router, but not Internet

Due to the problems I'm having with my powerbridge ethernet connection as detailed in the link below, I am trying to establish a wireless connection instead.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2715590&tstart=0
I have set-up an additional access point router in the same room as the iMac, and can get a good connection to it from the Mac; however I am unable to connect to the internet although the other 15 devices on the wireless connection work fine.
Do I need to start from a new location in Network Preferences, or can I simply turn Airport on and ride along the ethernet configuration?
Any support would be appreciated.

I sorted this myself, the router was taking the TCP/IP from the wrong place. Clicking on 'DHCP Renew' fixed it.

Can connect to router, but not to internet

About a week ago, my whole wireless setup stopped working. I have a BEFW11S4 v.4 router and a WPC54G v3 notebook adapter. I tried the hard reset on the router and taking to security off the wireless. I can connect to the router, but not the internet. What am I doing wrong? I can connect directly using the DSL modem.

If you are getting Ip address in the range of 192.168.1.X ....with gateway 192.168.1.1 .... change the Local Ip address to 192.168.2.1 ...click save settings ....
Do power cycle .....& see if you are online or not ....

Connected to Router, but not getting any Internet access

Hello,
So I recently got my parent's old router. It's a Linksys WRT54G. I had used it with my MBP when I lived with them a year ago, and I never had a problem. Airport was always able to locate their network and log into it.
6 months ago I moved out and have been using a direct Ethernet connection to my Road Runner Cable modem. No problem.
Yesterday I did some rearranging of my apartment, and now my computer isn't near a cable outlet. So I got the old router old and started getting it running.
Over many stress filled hours I have it at the point where my MBP is connected to the network (I named it, gave it a password, it shows a strong signal), but I have no Internet access. I even ran the Network Diagnostics a couple times, and it said my Internet connection appeared to be working correctly. Yet I can't open up any pages in Safari.
I don't know if I need to change any of the router settings?? Or if it's just an old router and I need a new one?? I've unplugged, replugged, and restarted everything numerous times, and still nothing.
Thank you!

Hi Rod,
Let me start by mentioning that when I hit the 'reply' button to write this post, it took more than 6 min for the page to appear. During that time, the 'connected time' displayed to the right of the 'radar' icon slid in and out dozens of times (indicating a dropped connection). If you have the 'magic' broth, I'd be happy to drink it.
You must have seen my posting on the InformationWeek website, which I wrote on after reading the review of the MacBook products in their email newsletter that I receive. I normally don't post on blogs but after reading the pulp in that review - after trying AppleCare and the Genius bar and seeing all of the posts here (with no fix forthcoming from Apple), I felt the need to both vent and to seek a solution outside of these discussion pages.
I have posted the details of my MBP/Airport connectivity issues in detail on other threads here but I would be happy to reiterate them.
My problems appeared to start after the 10.5.2 update. My connections became unbearably slow, to the point that I would begin to get Safari browser connection error messages (i.e., no server response...not connected to the internet, etc.) Then I noticed that the 'connected time' displayed to the right on the 'radar' icon in the menu bar was 'sliding' in and out (I didn't realize what this meant at the time but soon realized that every time it 'slid' out (disappeared) represented a 'droped' connection and when it 'slid' back (reappeared) it represented a reconnection. Both at home and at the office, I run under static IP addresses (home = MaxDSL with Westell modem to APEBSg; office = T-1x2 with NetGear). But about a month ago, I did some more testing. I run VM Ware and Windows Vista and my assumption had been, since Vista, running under VM Ware, utilizes all of the Mac I/O ports, that Vista would share the same slowness with the Mac Airport Wi-Fi. I tried it and, much to my surprise, the connection speed was great (like normal). I then tried an Ethernet hardwire to the Ethernet port on the APEBSg and got the same great connection speed.
So, MBP Airport works with Vista but not with Mac OS and by-passing the Airport Wi-Fi with a hardwire works with both Vista and Mac OS. It's only the Mac OS trying to go through the onboard Airport that gets choked down to unacceptable connection speeds.
I have tried all of the suggestions posted on the discussion board (resetting the CSM, PMU, etc). But, like everyone else, to no avail.
So, it's all about being connected via Wi-Fi (with my 'portable'). That's my problem. And, as you can see from all of the posts, it's not just me. So, you must have received the 'wonder machine' when you got your MBP. My MBP is a 1st gen but you can read posts here of people who just bought theirs (some who indicated that they were 'switchers') and it wouldn't connect right out of the box with 10.5.2. So, I realized that it wasn't 'me' - it was a real problem.
And, I might add that I've been an 'enthusiastic' Apple user since 1979. I've owned almost every model along the way - except for the LISA. In the past year alone, I've encouraged four people to 'switch' to Mac (three of whom I actually accompanied to the Apple Store and helped them with their selection). So, I'm a longtime - happy - user (my wife has a PBG4, my daugher a MacBook, my son a new MBP, plus I have an iMac and a CubeG4) who has hit a bump in the road and have become very frustrated by the fact that Apple does not appear to be responding to a real issue.
I welcome any advice that you might have to offer.

Brand new MacBook connects to router but not to internet

Hi
I bought a MacBook (my first mac) on Friday and love using it apart from I have one problem.
When I try and use it wirelessly with a standard cable/dsl router (we have virgin media) it connects with 4 bars or strength to the router but when I click on Safari I am told that the page cannot be found because I am not connected to the internet.
My housemates on Windows have no problems with the router or the internet.
I've tried running the diagnostic tool and it can't fix the problem and says that an IP address cannot be assigned.
I'm not very good with computers so if you could try and explain what to do in the most basic of terms that would be great.

Hi
Go to the Apple menu at the top of the screen, then select Location > Automatic. When you've that, go once again to the Apple menu, select Location > Network Preferences...
When the preference pane pops up, select AirPort. Check that you're connected to the correct network name, then click on advanced. Under TCP/IP, check that Configure IPv4 is set to Using DHCP, and that the Router is set to 192.168.0.1. If the router isn't set, then go to the DNS tab and see if 192.168.0.1 is the list of DNS servers. If it isn't there, then click on the + sign in the left column and add 192.168.0.1
Now go to Proxies. Set configure Proxies to Manually, and make sure all protocol options are UNTICKED, except for Passive FTP.
Save everything and come out of the preference pane. Turn off your AirPort card and then turn it back on again. Keep your fingers crossed.
Bob
