DSL Modem will not give me an IP address
I keep getting the amber flashing light when I am connected to my DSL modem. Airport Utility says that I am not getting a Valid IP address from my modem. My Linksys wireless router works fine, I even tried connected my Linksys travel router to my DSL modem and it worked fine. I can't see any obvious ip conflics either. I have read almost every post in this forum and tried everthing with no luck.
I have figured out a work around, if I plug my AE(n) into one of my ethernet ports on my Linksys router it immediatly gets a valid ip and the light turns green and I am conneced to the internet.
I really don't want to be running both routers and wireless networks and would rather plug the AE(n) directly into my DSL modem.
I would be grateful for any ideas.
MBP C2D 2.33 17" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 3gb ram, 160gb HD
I have the same problem, but don't have the benefit of a router workaround.
Two separate flavors of the problem...
1. I have tried manually setting the IP address, and adding subnet/router addresses as well as DNS server addresses. Copied them all from my original AE to the new one. Interestingly the new AE status light will turn green when IP address is configured manually, but can't get to the internet despite the color of the light. When I try to launch Safari or Firefox, it just times out, never getting to the homepage.
2. Went back and configured with DHCP (as I have on the old AE for over a year.) When it restarts, the new AE just sits and stares at me with its blinking amber light. Tried again and ran level 7 debug logging and there's no indication of what went wrong. Just that frustrating blinking amber light and the error message that my base station has an incorrect IP address.
In either case, I can unplug the new AE, reconnect the old and I'm immediately back in business.
Have tried the above after shutting down, unplugging, starting from scratch with every possible permutation I could think of. Still no dice.
Ideas/help??

Quest DSL Modem will not connect
I am trying to connect to DSL via Qwest and 2wire modem. I have gone through all the shut-down, and restart sequences on other posts and still, the green lights on the modem come on for ethernet, power and DSL but the Internet light on the modem remains red. It will not allow me to connect to 172.16.0.1 as suggested by another post.
Qwest tells me I should contact apple as it is not a modem problem.
Since I am currently, connected to the net via a satellite modem, I figured that some software downloaded for that might be causing a problem so I connected the modem to my ibook (G3) and am getting the same problem. The iBook is running OS 10.4. which does not allow me to configure the IPv4 automatically so I tried setting it manually with no success.
Also, I was wondering why Qwest tells me to select connection PPPoA, not PPPoE. When I tried to set up the PPPoE, with their settings, that did not work either. My neighbor has a Mac and Qwest so I am not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help???I was finally able to connect with my laptop to the new DSL modem. This modem has 4 ethernet ports and they said that I should be able to attach my desktop computer using another internet cable. When I did that, all of my browsers give me a "cannot connect to the www. server" message. Is there a setting that needs to be changed on that computer somewhere?
I CAN connect to the modem 192.168.0.1 but it will not go "outside" of that address.
Any suggestions??? -
WRT54GC will not give wireless clients IP addresses
Hi, I'm here on a behalf of a friend. I'm working on a WRT54GC wireless router. The issue is that any wireless client wishing to connect to the router (after seeing the SSID) always fail at "Waiting for network" during the connection screen. However, wired clients are able to connect without any problems. I have updated the firmware to the latest one. No security features (WEP/WPA) are enabled. I have tried changing the channel and mode to no avail. MAC address filter is disabled. Wireless card drivers are up to date. I'd like to know what can be done to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance. -Keres
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off the software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see it this helps.
Also, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
If you still have trouble, in the computer, go to the wireless adapter software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ), and delete all the networks you find. Reboot computer. Then return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your unique network SSID, and set it to "automatic login". Reboot computer. You should connect automatically.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card. -
My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.
Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. -
I have been with Verizon Wireless for 7 years and I have went through more problems in customer service in the last year then I have in my whole 7 years. Usually if I have a problem they fix it immediately, I tend to call instead of going into a Verizon store because Verizon stores just do not care about their customers. I am beginning to think the same thing about Verizon Wireless customer service.
Problem number 1: Verizon Wireless making changes to my account, aka payment arrangements, without my knowledge or consent. Making my phone shut off because I was 3 days late. Yes THREE DAYS... not months. Then after they turned my phone on because of their error I paid my bill. About a couple weeks later I decide that I want to purchase a new phone and want it billed to my account. They then tell me that no I could not have it billed to my account because my phone was shut off for non-payment. I then explained that it was an error, they then told me that they could not over-ride the system and I would have to wait 6 months to bill to my account. I asked if that meant I could bill to my account even if Iam late a couple days or what. They told me as long as my phone had not shut off because of non-payment I would be able to bill to my account, also that they would write a formal complaint on the person who made a payment arrangement on my account without my consent and they would get back to me. That was in Mar of 2013. I am still waiting for a reply from my complaint.
Problem number 2: In March of 2013 Verizon had an email option on their website where you could email corporate and they will email you back. Since then they have taken it off and will not give their customers email, number, or address where they can reach corporate at.
Problem number 3: Sept of 2013, it has been 6 months. I I then call Verizon to bill to my account a new phone, because I wanted to start a new contract. Well they tell me that because I do not pay on the same day of every month I will not be able to bill to my account and they can not over ride the system. I then tell them that this was not what was told to me in March of this year. The rep tells me that she cant do anything for me except investigate it and get back to me within 4 hours. I say okay and leave my number I wanted to be reached at, I asked if she was sure that she was going to call me back because I have been told in the past by verizon wireless reps that I would receive calls from them and they never bothered to return my call, because basically I was un-important. She stated that she would and she appreciated the business I gave Verizon for the past 7 years. (she was a supervisor by the name of Jeniffer in customer service on the east coast). 5 hours later I still had not received a call so I call back and ask to speak to a supervisor they then tell me that my claim was denied for "unknown" reasons about the call 6 months ago and they were not going to let me bill to my account and they couldnt help me further. I asked for a a corporate number, email, or address and they told me repeatedly that they did not know them and could not give them out if they did know them. That if I had a complaint he could notate it and make sure it was handled. Psssh just like it was handled 6 months ago. I daid thank you but no thanks and ended my call soon thereafter.
It just galls me that Verizon treats their customers who make them money by using their services and phones every year. They do not have any care for the complaints and actions of their workers as well as their customers.
I just want to know it anyone knows they corporate number, email or address??
Or maybe a verizon rep out there (which I pretty much doubt will respond to my question)
If I dont receive an answer soon I believe... no i KNOW I will be taking my $127.33 else where and maybe just maybe I can get better customer service, even if its just a tiny inch better than Verizons.
AT&T here I come.yesterday i went to verizon with a 8 day old broken phone after 40 mins in line to be helped the sales staff at glenway av in cincinnati turned me around and sent me out the door without solving my problem or returning my less than 14 day old phone. i called corporate at >>removed<< they called the store and made an appointment with the manager to resolve my issue. when i returned to the store i was told i had to wait in line again so i decided to get loud enough for every customer in the store to hear what kind of customer service i was recieving. so then the employee at the door not the manager called the police on me and threw me out of the store so today i am returning my phones and am seeking other service providers but anyhow the corporate number i provided is a good one and the people you reach will solve your problem corporate level is does do a grat job but the customer service level and store level employees i have found to be very unproffessional and extreemly mismanaged.

Are you in a company/enterprise where the installer was customized? If yes, then your administrator may have disabled the Sign panel feature on the right hand side, however, signing a document should still be available in the Digital Signatures Pane on the left side via a pop-up menu.

My itunes on a windows 7 pc with dsl connection will not connect with the itunes store
my itunes on a windows 7 pc with dsl connection will not connect with the itunes store. Any suggestions about why not or how to get it to connect?
After reading the whole post, I still don't capture the exact error message or code from it when you failed to install Office 2013.
The only clue is that "bootstrap loader error" ...
It seems that you want to upgrade Office 2007 to new Office 2013, by default, we could complete the uninstall previous Office version and install the new Office in the installation wizard.
At this point, if you get the install source through CD or other media. I recommand that we copy/paste the installation to local drive. Then turn off all of anti-virus and firewall, begin to setup in
Windows clean boot mode.
Please use a setup log to troubleshoot setup problems in Office if the installation problem still occurs.

I used my apple tv wirelessly and it worked fine,then I plugged an Ethernet wire into the Apple TV to move it and could not it to connect. When I unplugged Ethernet wire it will not give me a wireless option. How do I get that back?
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
1. Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
2. Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
3. Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
4. Open iTunes.
5. Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device) -

My iPhone 5, periodically,will not show the call waiting number. It beeps but will not give me the option to switch over or show me who is calling. The call doesn't appear in my "recents" either.
We appreciate your feedback on this matter, gingerspice913. I've not come across this issue before. Do you know how long it has been since the issue began? Please try to reset the network settings to see if it helps http://vz.to/1swAJbD?
