Connection to internet using BT dongle

Can anyone let me know how to connect to internet from laptop using dongle on BT mobile. I get the message that there is a connection but for some reason it wont connect to internet. Am getting the blue light flashing on the dongle. Wi Fi works well at home but BT mobile doesnt work.

Have you registered the dongle on the bt.com website, and have you added credit to the account?
You will still appear to have a connection, but will not get Internet access unless the account is in credit, or you have an active data bundle.
Also, if the BT connection manager has established a proper connection, you should see a steady blue or green LED on the dongle, and make sure you also have the latest version of BT Connection Manager installed on your computer.

You don't need mobile me, you just need to know your mac's ip and have vnc

MBP upgraded to Yosemite and now will not connect to Internet using a Cisco router

I Upgraded my MBP mid 2010 to Yosemite and now it will not connect to Internet using a system that involves typing in my user name and password in an auto pop up window provided by Cisco security systems. Before, using Mavericks, it worked perfectly: boot up MBP and the Cisco pop up auto loaded. Typed it my password and hey presto, connected to Internet. Now, zilch. There is nothing wrong with the Cisco cos my iPad connects ok, as do both my iPhone's.
the problem is with Yosemite therefore. Please help. I tried all the usual diags, etc to no avail.

Sounds like there could be some kind of compatibility issue between ICS and this Bluetooth device of yours. Is there any compatibility info from the manufacturer about which Android versions that's being supported?

Problems connecting to Internet using Airport - can anyone help ?

I'm using a MacBook running OSX 10.4.11, trying to connect to internet using Airport. I connected OK first time, but after powering off the Mac, each time I now try to connect again, the Mac can't find the network. Network Diagnostics can't fix it either. I use a Linksys wireless router, connected to an ADSL modem. I use PPPoE. I live in Borneo, and the line connection is not great, occasionally the phone line drops out and then modem reconnects itself, I wonder whether this is causing some sort of problem with IP settings. The only way I can connect wirelessly is to start the Mac, reboot the modem, then the router, and plough through Network Diagnostics. A real pain. Help much appreciated.

I have a Linksys Wireless-G (model WRT54GS). This is working ok because I have two other wireless devices (internet radio and iPod touch) which connect fine. Firmware is up to date. I've done a bit more troubleshooting, and the the problem is connected with the phone line, which drops out all too regularly. Each time the phone line drops out, the Mac is unable to connect to the network wirelessly. After going through Network diagnostics, and rebooting the modem+router, it comes with a message saying "Network changes detected", and then I can reconnect OK. The funny thing is, the IPod touch can always reconnect no problem, even if the line has dropped out since the last login. Given that I've got a crappy phone line conection, is this normal or is there something wrong with my Mac settings ?

Cant connect to internet using airport?!!!

Hi,
Suddenly and out of nothing, I just dont seem to be able to get connect to internet using airport. I restarted all devices but it still not working. Though I can connect to my wireless network using airport, I cant use the internet. I can use the internet from other devices and I've already checked my settings.
Thanks

Hi - what do you mean when you say that you "installed Airport Express on laptop" - do you mean "with your laptop using the Windows 7 version of the Airport Utility? - and what wireless router are you referring to? - if you clarify these issues, maybe someone can help you

Ipad can't connect to internet using 30 pin

Hi
My question is i am trying to connect to Internet using Ipad 2 WIFI version only. By using 30 pin connector connects to my Mac Mini. I thought this is supposed to work and able to connect to the internet, but it isn't happening.
I don't have WIFI access at this location so i need to connect to Internet by using Mac Mini as tethering.
Please help or advice.
thanks

You can create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network on your Mac Mini using the built in airport card and network sharing pane.
Provided that you Mac Mini is on this will broadcast a Wi-FI signal that you can you can now connect your iPad to.
Step by step
click on Apple menu and open System Preferences
Under Internet & Wireless click on the Sharing folder
In the left hand pane tick Internet sharing
In the right hand side where it says Share your connection from select Ethernet
Under To computers using tick Wi-Fi
Now click the Wi-Fi Options button
You are now going Add a name for your Wi-Fi Network (It will broadcast its SSID by default)
Select a channel select 6 or 11
Set a security level and password click ok. RIGHT DOWN THE PASSWORD !
Now go to your iPad .
Tap on Settings then Wifi and slide the Wifi button to on and allow iPad to scan for your network name.
When found tap on it and in the next window enter the password as written down.
You iPad will now be sharing the Mac Mini Internet and should allow you to use Safari/ e-mail etc......
All cable free as far as the iPad is concerned.

Can't connect to internet using Nokia Suite

Hello. I have a Nokia Asha 311. I could connect to internet using my USB cable and Nokia Suite without trouble in another computer similar to the one I'm using now. The difference is that that computer had windows 7 and this one has Windows xp (probably there are more differences, but this is the most noticeable). I have Nokia Suite version 3.8.48, it recognizes my phone, but everytime I tried to connect to the internet using the phone as modem, it says, inmediately (it isn't even trying to connect) "Failed to establish a network connection"
What can I do? If I was able to use my Nokia Asha 311 in the other computer as a modem, I'm sure I can use here too for that. But there is something preventing it from working well. What can it be? I have already read the other posts about similar issues but I haven't found any solution in them.

Hi overo,
Welcome to the forum!
Is the OS of your Windows XP PC updated? It's advisable to keep both PC and phone's software up-to-date. Try also to repair Nokia Suite to isolate the issue. Just click the PC's start button, and then go to All Programs > Control Panel > Installed applications. Select Nokia Suite, and then choose Uninstall / Change > Repair. After this step, try to share our phone's connection to your PC and see if it'll work. Make sure that Nokia Suite mode is selected in your Asha 311 when sharing the internet connection to your PC via Nokia Suite.
Let us know how it will go.

Can't connect to Internet using airport

I am trying to connect to internet wirelessly, using my Airport Extreme (802.11n), but it won't work. When I use the ethernet cable directly to my MacBook Pro (as I am now) internet comes fine. I have done many tests, change configuration, but nothing works. I really don't know what the problem is and what to do.
Thks for helping,
Marco

Just as an update, I have been able to reestablish connection by resetting the airport base.

Hi Flaviazzu,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
Since you can use the packet data on your phone but not on your computer may mean that your operator does not allow you to use your data access via tethering. We would recommend that you review the terms and conditions of your service and see if it mentions anything about tethering. If tethering is allowed in your contract, please follow the instructions below to set up your internet connection.
To create an internet connection for the first time, do the following:
You can find the latest available Nokia Suite from your local support site
In the Nokia Suite Home view, click Tools -> Options -> Connect to Internet
Depending on the device model you are using, the internet connection is created as follows:
The connection is created automatically or you need to select the operator to be used when creating an internet connection. From the list that shows the operators in your country, select your home operator (in other words the operator to whose network you have subscribed to). Then click OK.
Let us know if this helps,

Unable to connect to Internet using dial-up. Mess...

Discovered the problem when trying to use my work laptop to connect remotely to the work network using the Internet.
Later tried using the home computer and to connect to the Internet using our ISP and got the message "No dial tone. Check the modem is plugged into the phone line"
Have checked that the modem lead is plugged in correctly. Have unplugged and re-plugged in. Also have tried using different modem leads from phone socket to computers. This does not solve the problem.
Therefore tried different computers, modem lines and different ways of connecting to the Internet therefore do not believe problem is caused by out equipment or Internet settings.
Have no telephone extension socket.
Have another phone line coming in to the house but this is not used/is not active.
BT 1571 is not set up on our phone line.
BT have done a normal line check and found no fault. with the phone line. Indeed the phone works fine for voice communications.
Have looked at line socket and tried test socket - again telephone works but dial-up doesn't.
In the past have had problems where the dial-up connection kept dropping.

If the 'phone line works, but you're getting a "no dialing tone" message trying to connect with a modem, then it must be either your equipment or the way it's set up.
Can you hear a dialling tonw when the modem goes "off hook" ? If you can, try setting the modem to blind dial - ie go ahead and dial, regardless of whether or not it thinks it's getting a dialling tone. I can't be more specific than that - it's years since I messed around with AT commands, although I've probably go an old manual or two hiding somewhere.
If there really is no dialling tone, as far as the modem is concerned, I'd suspect the lead. Some modems use non-standard terminations - although the connectors fit, the wires need to be terminated on non-standard pins at the modem end.
