"Connection failed" question - connect to Static IP of computer or of modem

I'm about to throw this out the window - what's the point of having ARD when Apple cannot provide instructional support? Now I have to wait on hold for "Enterprise" for at least 15 mins before I can talk to anyone.
I have TWO static IP addresses that I am testing - one is for the actual computer itself (a new static IP we created), and one is for the Westell 2200 Verizon DSL modem that we had to request so that the modem would allow access.
NEITHER will work!
I am using the login and password for the computer on both, maybe that's the issue? I'm confused now as to which one I'm supposed to connect to after the Apple Support person said the other day "you're all set, just use the static IP from Verizon." Great to have a positive hunky-dory support guy but it didn't help.
I have no clue.
I've tried everything, port forwarding numbers are in place, the modem is in "bridge" mode, the Airport Extreme station is not in bridge mode, the computer is on, etc.etc.etc.
What's left??

And yes, the iMacG5 that I'm attempting to connect to has this set-up:
Westell 2200 Verizon DSL Modem ==== Apple Airport Extreme ==== iMacG5
And yes, the correct port numbers were entered into the Airport's utility.
I'll try the IP address that the router is using, as you suggest, and talk to Apple - again.
Thanks!

  • I get a "Connection Failed" message when I try to connect to a Windows 7 computer that I was able to connect to before.

    I was able to connect to this Windows 7 computer before, I don't think anything happened, and then suddenly I couldn't.  I turned the firewall off and enabled everything that I could for sharing on the PC.  I can connect to the other PC on the network fine.  I have tried using the connect to server and all of the different ways to enter the address in.  When I ping the PC all of the responses are completely normal.  I'm on OS X 10.8.3 and the PC I'm connecting to is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.  If you need any more details I'll try to provide them, that's all I can think of right now.

    I called Apple today... It turned out to be my modem/router.

  • When i connect my iPod to my computer it does not sync fully. Some songs in the library have an ! next to them. Apple have just replaced my original one as the battery was failing. Any suggestions?

    When i connect my iPod to the computer it does not fully sync. Some of the songs in the library are marked with an ! and it says the songs cannot be found but when the iPod is not connected they are all there. Any ideas? Thanks

    I had this problem before. What I did (which is good advice to anyone with electronic copies of music) is to back up all my music to an external hard drive. I then deleted all music from iTunes and copied back across from my external hard drive. Just make sure that under Preferences - Advanced in iTunes, you have iTunes Media folder location set as your C: drive, tick the boxes for "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library".

  • I have connected a new time capsule to a dsl modem.  It doesnt see the internet. Airport utility says: Disconnected. But it isnt. Internet tab shows PPPoE. Must I enter Account Name or Password? If so, where do I find them? If not, what do I do?

    I have connected a new Time Capsule to a DSL modem using an ethernet cable . The modem is working fine and connected fine. But the Time Capsule doesnt seem to be talking to the modem.  If I click the internet Icon in Airport Utility  it shows Disconnected.If I click the Time Capsule icon and go to the internet tab it shows  Connect using PPPoE. Is that what it should be? In the box below there is place for an account name and password. DO I need to filll these out and if so what do I put there--information about the Time Capsule of informationabout the Modem? And where do I find the information.
    Or am I completely on the wrong track.

    Thanks. The modem is a Speedtouch ST585  v6. How do I know whether it is in adsl bridge?  Also this is a modem-***-router. Does that make a difference?
    If you did not put it in bridge then it is not in bridge..
    Connect a computer directly to the modem.. open the browser to either 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.138 (if neither of those work you will have to check the IP address your ISP has set).
    BTW who is your ISP and do they allow PPPoE.. for instance most ISP in UK do not use pppoe so you have no choice but to run the 585 as a router. In which case bridge the TC
    Anyway.. open the setup configuration in the Thomson and select a template that says bridge.. run through the wizard and it will then bridge the modem.
    And I am using Airport Utility 6.0. How do I get the earlier version?
    By reading the site link I just gave you.. downloading the utility and running it on your computer. Or simply google to 5.6 lion airport utility... that is the way I find things when I don't have the link memorised.
    Finally, AIrport Utility shows a number in a red dot next to the time capsule icon, currently 2. What is that for? What does it tell us?
    Firstly download the useful utility.. but the dots tell you something is wrong and preventing the TC from working.. if you open the utility it should tell you what the errors mean.. I cannot tell you what they are, but it is likely to be no internet connection and pppoe has failed.

  • I connected my iphone to my computer, and somehow my apps downloaded to itunes, and erased from my iphone, i re-uploaded them to my iphone and now all the game data is missing, including extra levels that i have paid for.

    After i connected my iphone to my computer to upload some pictures, the couple of apps that i had synched to my itunes, later i noticed that this deleted them from my iphone, therefore i re-connected my phone, dragged that apps back onto my phone and all seamed okay. Till i went to play an app (dinner dash) and notice that now only was all my data (scores and level beaten) erased, but i had also purchased extra levels and these are no longer available, they are asking my to pay for the levels again. I know they weren't expensive, but i already paid for these and obviously still want them without having to pay again?  Any help would be great, i can't even seam to find a email address that i could write to on the apple site for help!!  I either want to get these levels again, or my money back to download them again.

    Hello johnohuk,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

  • HT201302 When I connect my iphone to my computer, the camera wizard says that there aren't any pictures on my device.  How can I then transfer the pictures on my phone to the computer?

    This happens on PCs running XP and 7.

    I had this problem too, and this answer to a similar question on the forum about an ipod or ipad fixed it for me:
    "You have to unlock your iPad before you can transfer photos off it otherwise anyone could connect your iPad to a computer and see all the photos you have taken on it."

  • Could one use a y VGA splitter to connect an ipad to a computer and a smart board that is connected to it?

    Could a person connect an ipad to a computer and a smart board that is connected to it by using a y VGA splitter?

    I use a program called Reflector to wirelessly display my iPad onto my Mac. To take it a step further, I connect my computer to a projector so that my iPad screen can be displayed via projector to a screen or smart board on the wall. Much cheaper than buying an Apple TV to do this.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • When I connect my iphone to the computer iTunes does not show my device but syncs???

    I connect my phone to the computer and it does sync but it does not show my device?  How can I see my device in itunes?

    Hello Crenshaw2332
    With the new version of iTunes, it would be the the left of the iTunes Store icon
    If you like how itunes worked before, I will suggest taking a look at the article that will bring back most commonly used features in iTunes.
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    In iTunes 11 you have the option to turn the Sidebar and the Status Bar on or off; they are off by default. To do this in the menus, go to:
    Show Sidebar - Choose View > Show Sidebar (this feature will display iTunes features on the left side of the application including Library, Store, Shared, Genius, and Playlists).
    Show Status Bar - Choose View > Show Status Bar (this feature will conveniently display the number of items and playback time for a category, for example, music or movies).
    Thanks for your question

  • Unable to connect router to internet and computer at the same time.

    I'm not sure where to start, but here goes. We recently got the internet set up at out new house. Of course, the only connection is downstairs and the computer is upstairs. The guys that set the internet up said we needed a wireless router and I said "Ok, cool."
    He gave us a router and a receiver and hooked them both up. (I myself know quite a bit about computers but I figured I'd let him do his job.) So we're all set up and I start playing my game and I get a "Windows has a conflict with another computer on this IP" or something like that. I figured I might as well put some security up on this thing. So I go downstairs and hit the SecureEasySetup (SES from now on) button and come back up here and follow all of the steps and it say's that it's not connected. I run back downstairs and looc for the MAC Address and notice that it was not mentioned as one of the selectable routers.
    I figured the guy didn't really install the router, just hooked the internet up into it and plugged it in, and that my reciever picked up someone else's from the neighborhood. So I go and get the CD to install and notice that I have to have the router plugged into the computer AND the internet at the same time for installation to complete. Uhh, that could be a problem. Computer upstairs + router and internet cable downstairs = no go.
    So here's my question: What can I do about that? I can't have the computer and the internet hooked up to the router at the same time.
    Thanks to everyone that replies.

    First off... don't use the setup CD.
    Configure your router by http(ing) to the IP address, log in, and configure that way.  much easier.  typically its http://192.168.1.1
    username admin
    password admin
    once you get logged in change that password and Remember it!  If you lose it, you'll have to reset to factory defaults.
    2nd
    Change your SSID. Default is "linksys"  you'd be suprised how many people leave the thing as defaults and someone else is using yoru network connection...
    3rd
    Add security WPA is better than WEP
    4th
    Now go upstairs and look for your new SSID, connect with your WPA code and you should be set.
    5th - Not needed but for info...
    If you want to go that far... you can change your DHCP set to something like 10.0.10.x but you'll have to manually change the IP of the router to that subnet as well...

  • How do I connect my ipad to my computer...what is an airport utility?

    How do I connect my ipad to my wifi?  It says I need an airport utility can't find it

    You do not need the airport utility. That is to configure an apple router. But if it is configured you just join to its wireless.
    The easiest way to connect the ipad to the computer is to plug it in via the USB cord.
    (That is assuming you have a Mac I guess).
    To access files on a computer you need to download a file browser.. eg filebrowser.
    To access things like itunes you should be able to do more directly.
    What wifi router do you have?
    Much easier with apple equipment to join with Apple wireless routers..

  • The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.

    At random points throughout my laptop usage, I randomly disconnect from the internet and receive these 2 messages:
    1. The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the Internet is broken.
    2. The default gateway is not available.
    It fixes the issue for a short period of time, but constantly happens. This is really starting to annoy me. I have no problems on any other internet, and other people i live with are connected with no issues to the internet. I have tried a number of solutions
    online that has "worked" for others to no success such as resetting the router, fooling around with command prompt, and changing the performance settings to not drop internet when low on power. Does anyone have a solution for my technical problems?
    I am running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo ideapad that is less than a year old. I will be honest I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to computers, so please use simplified explanations.
