Connecting iphone to internet

I have strong signal bars for my home wireless. I am on the net with my computer. My iphone says, "Can't connect to server". How do I connect my iphone to the net?
Thanks for your help!

Teacherjulie,
Check the settings on your wireless router and make sure it either has a valid DNS server entered or in some cases no DNS server. One poster yesterday found that their router had some random jibberish in the DNS server setting for the router. If this makes no sense to you, contact the manufacturer of the router or check the documentation to find out how to configure it.
Hope that helps,

  • Couldn't connect iPhone to internet

    Hi guys, I hope you could help me with my iPhone problem. Today I was using whatsapp to chat with my friends, it works fine as usual. But later on, the internet connection suddenly lost. However, on the top left corner of the screen, it shows the provider's name and 3G. I thought it was the sim card that have problems, so I then used wifi as an alternative. But when I turned on the wifi connection, it still couldn't connect to the internet. I tried to restart my phone, but it still can't connect to the internet until now. I  have no idea what is happening to my iPhone since this is the first time that ever happened to me.
    If you guys now how to fix this, please let me now. thanks a lot!

    Any ideas everyone? Today I have restarted my iPhone once again, but it still remains the same. Do I have to forget the wifi network first and then retype the password? Because I tried to connect the wifi to my Mac and iPad, and it works just fine like usual. I don't know what is happening to my iPhone.

  • HOW CAN I CONNECT IPHONE 4 INTERNET TO MY PC USING USB CABLE

    HOW CAN I CONNECT MY IPHONE 4 INTERNET CONNECTION TO MY PC USING USB CABLE AND I HAVE DONE TETHERING IN MY PHONE AND ALSO DOWNLOADED ITUNES USING FLASH DRIVE AS I HAVE NO INTERNET CONNECTION IN MY PC AND IN MY PC THERE IS NO DETECTION OF ANY APPLE DEVICE. PLZ HELP ME

    First, knock off the all caps typing. It is considered shouting, rude, and is just plain hard to read.
    Since you use the term "PC," are you using an Apple computer or something that is Windows based?

  • Connect iphone to internet through macbook

    How do I connect my iphone to the internet through my macbook which is connecting to the internet through broadband

    Assuming your MacBook is connected via ethernet and you want to create a wifi signal for the iPhone (and that you don't have a wifi router which would be the more usual way with both devices just connecting to the router): http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10740

  • Connect iPhone to Internet via Bluetooth

    I have a computer set up sharing ethernet internet connection via bluetooth. How do I connect iPhone to the Internet via bluetooth? (No cellular network, no wifi)

    You cannot. There is no network connection available TO the iPhone over bluetooth. When tethering becomes available, you will be able to tether your laptop using the iPhone as an Internet connection, but not the other way around. The iPhone CAN use wifi for its internet feed though, but not bluetooth. Bluetooth only supports headsets today.

  • URGENT: How to connect iPhone to internet over ad-hoc wi-fi network from MacBook?

    I need to access the internet over wi-fi on my iPhone, but there is no wi-fi network I can use, so I am creating one with my MacBook. I choose "Create Network…" from the Airport menu on my Macbook, and I am able to connect my iPhone to the ad-hoc network I have  made, but I can't access the internet with it, for some reason.
    I think this might have something to do with one of the following two things, but I'm not sure:
    1.) In system prefs > network on my Macbook, it says:
    "Wi-Fi has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.83.143 and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
    2.) Also in system prefs > network, under 802.1X, it says: "Authentication server is not responding".
    Any help will be deeply appreciated.

    To add more, when looking at the network (you have to be on it or near it) in your list, click the blue arrow next to it to get the settings for that network. On that screen you can tell it to forget.

    Yes, this is called Tethering, and/or using a Mobile Hotspot. It requires an extra fee per month. Contact your carrier if you'd like to setup this option.

  • Connect iPhone to Internet via PC ?

    I'd like to connect my iPhone to my PC's internet connection and download on the iPhone via the PC. Is it possible ? I don't have tethering..

    You should be able to do this by setting up an ad hoc WiFi network. In Windows it's called ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). The Mac has something similar.

  • TS1398 How do I connect to the internet with my iphone when away from home

    I have an iphone 3GS which was fine , was able to connect to the internet away from home when at uni, at appointments. Since software update to IOS 6.0, can now only connect to internet wirelessly when at home-as soon as leave the house it disconnects. Is this just because of the software update? Have tried adjusting settings but got nowhere. Thank you

    When your wifi is off.  Do you see your carrier name at the top left with either 3G/4G.  If not you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    or settings - cellular - cellular data - ON
    if those two suggestion doesn't help then you will need to contact your phone carrier to resolve the issue.

  • My iphone 5 won't make a call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g

    My iphone 5 won't call when i fail to connect to the internet via 3g.
    At work i dont have wifi i have 3g, if i launch say the sky go app,or the iplayer, sometimes they work and everything is fine...sometimes they wont load as 3g for whatever reason cant get a connection at that particular time........ if i then try and make a call the call will fail. I've experimented 25 + times and this is definately the cause.
    (note: when the 3g connection does work, the phone has absolutely no problem calling people)
    Anyone had this problem?
    Even better has anyone got a solution?
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Are you sure that the carrier's signal is strong where you are having this problem? Certain building structures and locations have poor cellular signal strength and this often results in the "No Service" indication. Are other users able to get service in the same locations where you have problems?

  • My iPhone 5c won't connect to home internet. I have an Actiontec router and my phone shows that I'm connected but no IP address comes up on my phone and Safari and other Apps state that I'm not connected to the internet.

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and for some unknown reason I can't connect to my wireless router's network at home. I've tried establishing a seperate IP address, manually adding the iPhone device, and even spent an hour with Centurylink's IT support and they couldn't figure it out. They said it was an iPhone error. I had an iPhone 3 about 1 1/2 years ago that had the same problem. I ended up getting rid of the phone because I couldn't solve this problem before. I thought a newer phone would not have the same problem.
    My phone shows that I'm connected to my home internet, but when I open up network information for my home internet there is no IP Address listed. Safari and my other apps also state that I'm not connected to the internet. I'm ready to sell my phone back and go to an Android since I didn't have trouble connecting with it before. We also have a Macbook and iPad that both connect to the internet just fine. Please....oh please help.

    I was having the same problem; I tried all the recommended fixes in the "more like this" and nothing worked, but finally found the answer.  Try this: http://themiddleofthestreet.blogspot.com/2013/11/if-your-iphone-5s-wont-connect- to-wifi.html

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.
