E71 PC Internet Access DNS Problem

Hi all,
Got a bit of a problem which I hope someone knows the answer to.
I'm currently triailing tethering on an E71 for our corporate network. I've got the phone connected up and installed Nokia PC Internet Access on my machine; all good.
The problem I'm having is that we use a private APN at the mobile carrier to connect back to our network, and this does not advertise automatic DNS settings to clients. I can get connected to the APN no problem at all but without DNS servers on the connection, it's fairly useless.
Now, I can see that the PCIA application uses Dial-Up Networking behind the scenes to actually connect up, and I have tried to specify manual DNS servers on that connection, but every time I reconnect using PCIA, it resets everything back to automatic, which doesn't work.
Anyone got any ideas on forcing manual DNS servers on a connection when using PC Internet Access?
Thanks all!

Nobody? This is the way how Nokia does NOT care us. Nokia is now dead

WRT 120 Internet Access Control Problem for itouch

I've just set up my router. Cannot seem to control access to the internet for my son's itouch. The router recognizes it on the map as a wireless device part of the network, but it will not show up in the menu that allows for internet access control. My lap top shows up, but no itouch. I'm running Windows XP home premium edition - not sure if this makes a difference.

Open the linksys setup page...Under the Wireless tab,Change the Channel Width to 20MHz only,Channel to 11 and click on save settings...Under the Advanced Wireless Settings,Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
On the I-Touch..Go to Settings>>>General>>>Reset>>>Now select Reset Network Settings.This will now reboot and restore you network connections.

New MBP - wireless/internet access networking problem - a summary!

Greetings!
New MBP here, with all the trimmings (MacOS X 10.4.10 - Safari 3 Beta). New also to the Apple/MAC world
MBP >> wireless networking into a Linksys WRT54G router and >> thru HughesNet DW7000 Satellite Internet connection (not the fastest, but hey, the US and especially rural areas are NOT S. Korea when it comes to speedy internet connections!
Frankly, I bought into it for two reasons: First, hearing about the vaunted Mac a/v/ and doc/photo editing capabilities,... and about MacOS stability, etc... Well, it all needs a little work still: on the part of new users like me, but also probably on the part of the Apple/Mac people as well. 2nd reason I decided to purchase the MBP - i.e. ability to run Windows (I have not yet tried BootCanp, etc...: still resolving preliminary issues!). I still live in a heavy Win environment at my business - no other way of course!
Communications issues seem to still prevail: I am hanging out at several VERY HELPFUL forums (AppleDiscussionForum, MacRumorsForums, etc...) and the same issues keep popping up. Im my case, same as all above reported, with a few additional points, as follows:
1. Xmission errors: seem to be - at least in my case - a constant factor, regardless on how close/far i am from my wireless router. For example, I would be attempting to dwnload an upgrade (large)QT or MacOS file. i am barely into the dowmoad, and I already have several Read/Send errors. By the end of the download, I will have probably about 15 Rcv and 5 Send errors. Never gets quite that bad in my Win machines, I must mention. Anything to do here (I know, there are such things always affecting wireless com). AND, MOST importantly, how that this affect the effectiveness of the upgrade (I spotted same thing with MacOS 10.4.10 and Safari Beta 3 upgrade downloads!). Would it be likely that applying upgrades in such circumstances would screw up the OS??? Could OTOH such errors be automatically "compensated" by re-xmits from the source, and eventually the download would be OK? Because quite frankly, I do NOT know if my important upgrade download was OK to apply to the system, given those errors!!!
Also same thing with PING errors. Quite frequent when pinging another device on my network.
2. Quite often, accessing a site will proceed somehow OK, and then things will get stuck twd the end, as if some buffer somewhere gets overloaded??? Of course, as elsewhere reported, same can often happen with com getting stuck right over the "www" part of the URL!
3. AND, of course, the often reported "NO connection to the Internet", but computer shows good signal level and connection otherwise.
4. Strangely enough, seems that the Airport Extreme wifi card sort of "warms up the the internet" as one proceeds to start using it. It eventually picks up on a network, and often "improves" its connection over time!
5. Built in Airport Extreme seems to not exhibit up all immediately surrounding networks. Sensitivity issue?? iStumbler does.
6. iStumbler permanently posts noise level of 9% regardless of how close to my wireless router/broadband modem I am. Anyone uses iStumbler to monitor network traffic?
This is getting longuish: I just want to get over all those p*ant issues and get into putting my a/v stuff together!!

Thanks for just reading all this!. I am not sure it is all fixable (back to the Win "features" terminology, really meaning "bugs"??)

Thanks, BDaqua. This support forum is quite well stocked: I have been perusing all its nooks and cranies!
On the www.dslreports.com - All things Mac - forum, I spotted a couple of mentions of the following type of infromation:
link: »www.hardmac.com/news/2007-07-27/#7039
- The first TechNote provides information concerning the Airport problem affecting the MBP Santa Rosa (but also other Mac Intel). When used on battery, the wireless connection drops and one can even experience kernel panic. Apple Centers are asked not to exchange affected notebook as this is due to a unidentified bug in the Atheros driver, and should be fixed in the future with a simple Airport system update. So for the moment, unfortunate users are asked to directly power their notebook when using wireless network, or using Ethernet connection when running on battery... in other words, turn your notebook into a desktop
to forum · permalink
I am wondering if you and folks on this close-to-Apple forum know anything about this. At least, we could just await remedy instead of messing around endlessly looking for solutions and... pondering as to whether it was a wise thing to purchase an expensive machine which happens to have trouble communicating online. After all, seems that the Mac folks are prone to spend MORE time online uploading/downloading music and videos instead of my being normally doing with the rest of my (Win) computers, i.e. work on customer lists, correspondence, inventories, accounting, data bases, etc....
So, seems to me we do have a pb and Apple might just save a few $$$ on silly ads and get to work on com instead. if nothing else to avoid the appearance of further - admittedly rather funny - ad-spoofs!
So back to your further inquiry. I run a wireless network from a HughesNet satellite modem, thru a Linksys WRT54GL wireless router, into some nearby office LANed desktops and point of sale equipment, to another neighbouring facility via wireless bridge, and to my Mac laptop. Distance from the laptop to the router: 50 ft max.
It all works surprizingly very well: up to 200kbps up and 1000 kbps down (in prime time, 150 up and 600 down). OK, my set up looks complex and incurring LOTS of activity. Actually, online activity is quite minimal and well scheduled - right now I am the only machine on the network online. Otherwise, our office processes online money wiring for customers among other things.
I'll try your DNS server choice on the Mac settings first. Will report accordingly.
Thanks for everything!

Nokia Lumia 720 internet sharing DNS problem

Hi,
I am using Nokia Lumia 720 (OS version 8.0.10517.150) for internet sharing and have had DNS issues lately. When connecting to hotspot with my laptop I get DNS server is not responding error. Phone has data connection and I can browse the internet through phone but cant use it to share the data connection. When I connect my laptop with other wifis it works fine also so the fault must be in Lumias hotspot generation.
Had the same problem few weeks ago but then restarting the device and changing hotspot settings helped but it does not do the job right now.
Any ideas?

Hi kalverk,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you tried using your micro-SIM card with other internet sharing capable phones to verify it the issue is network or device related? Aside from your laptop, have you tried sharing your Lumia 720's internet connection with other phones?
Here are some tips that might help you resolve the issue:
1. If enabled, switch Battery saver mode off: Tap Settings > battery saver > Off. You can also just connect the phone to the charger.
2. Check the signal strength on the phone screen. To increase the signal strength, move around or move towards a window if you are inside a building.
3. Keep your phone in the idle mode. Incoming or outgoing call will interrupt the data transfer until the call ends.
4. Check the cellular data indicator (E, 2G, 3G, H+, 4G) at the left side of the phone's screen. Change the mobile network's highest connection speed from 3G/4G to 2G and back again to make sure that your phone is connecting to the network correctly. Go to Settings > mobile network (or mobile + SIM or cellular or cellular + SIM).
5. Make sure that the internet sharing security type (if not selectable, WPA2 is used) and password settings match between the connecting device and your phone (Settings > internet sharing).
6. Make sure that the operator mobile data plan subscription allows Wi-Fi tethering and your network operator has enabled internet sharing on the phone.
7. If possible, try to create a connection with some other device or force the connecting device Wi-Fi adapter to use 802.11g standard - disable 802.11n mode. On a Windows PC, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet >Network Connections, and right click your active Wireless Network Connection and open Properties >Configure > Advanced, then select 802.11n and set value to Disabled. Once ready, press OK.
8. Connect again, as internet sharing switches off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Let us know how it will go.

HT3728 No status light at all on Airport/Time capsule. I can plug internet cable directly into bac of my MAC and have internet access no problem. Is my Airport dead and need to be replaced??

I have NO status light on my Airport/Time Machine, I unplugged the internet connection from back of Airport and plugged directly into my MAC and am able to get to the internet just fine.
The Airport is almost 6 years old
Is my Airport dead and just need to get a new one??

Unfortunately, yes. On the upside, your Time Capsule lasted about twice as long as normal.

E4200 STRANGE DNS Problems

Ok so I just purchased the E4200 and upgraded to .03 (newest firmware) and noticed everytime the router reboots my computer (wired client) would say limited or no internet access for some time after the router has stopped blinking. When I try to open Chrome and go to google.com I get a DNS error. If I then try to go to another website like say bing.com it works and then google.com works. Mind this whole time Nslookup works and when I can't seem to access google.com from my wired connection my iPod can connect to it wirelessly. Normal or is everyone else experiancing that? I also suppose if I wait some time while it says limited or no connectivity it will work and switch to internet access.

DNS is one of the most essential services on any Windows network. Active Directory can’t function without DNS, and it’s is also used by any number of other network functions. So it’s critical to troubleshoot DNS problems as fast as possible. So you can try to reduce the LAN card speed. Here is the step:
START--> right-click My Network Places and click Properties
right-click on the device and click properties
Click on the CONFIGURE button
Select the ADVANCED tab and the settings you can alter are listed on the left.
If the issue still persist then here is the link which may help you in resolving the concern: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-tips-for-troubleshooting-dns-problems/1964

Internet access problems and viewing video on internet

I have very limited interet access most of the time. I get a message: "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. ..." I have no problem with email and other features of the phone during this time. The signal at the top of my phone says "GSM". When I am able access the internet, it give me a different signal (can't remember what that is, however). Even then, I cannot view most video clips, such as YouTube clips. They will not load all the way. It states, "Error has occurred in attempting to play media." Help!

I have unlimited internet access, so that's not the problem. Right when I got the phone, I replaced the original data card with a 4G card and enabled mass storage. I have (since my first post) had more access capability by enabling the WiFi (da) which finds my wireless connection at home. I've also been able to view a video clip, not successfully all the way through, however. During viewing, the phone appears to crash, i.e. the screen goes white and then it takes 3-5 minutes for it to reboot. This has also happened when the phone has not even been being used. Also, as I was surfing the net, the phone asked if I wanted to enable Javascript which I did. Is there anything else that I need to enable or do to the phone in order to have a more pleasant experience using the internet and viewing video clips?

I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

MY PROBLEM
I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
I have rebooted router many times, nothing
I have changed my home router, nothing
I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

I'm connected to the wifi at home but no internet access. i was surfing on the same wifi without any problems. and also this issue is for other wifi network.

hello everyone.
i was surfing browsing and downloading on my iphone 4 on my home wifi and other places without any problem but today i found out that even though i'm connected to my wifi i got no internet access. i also got this new problem, my led flash is on. if i tilt the device the flas dims a bit. i tried switching off the device but still the flash is on. i tried using at other wifi network same problem. i tried forget this network, switching off and turning on the device i also tried reseting the network and also hard reseting the device. but still same problem. what can i do about this? and if i send it to apple what are my options? i got warrant coverage so will they be able to repair it ? if they are not able to repair then will they give me new iphone 4 or refurbished iphone 4 for replacement?

Apple does not repair devices. If they are covered under warranty, the device is replaced. You will not get a new phone, you will get a service unit which is as good as if not better than new.
If all the basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide has been done and the device does not get Internet access via Wi-Fi from multiple locations, the only thing left is to take it to Apple.

Lumia 920 service problems/ no internet access. Also problem with receiving calls?

As of yesterday I have been having a wierd problem with my Windows phone, and exploring through the web, I've seen a couple of other people with this problem as well, with no one really coming up with any other solution but to do a hard reset, which I abosuletly want to avoid. So my problem is that I don't seem to have any internet access, regardless if I am connected to 4G or through wifi. This is real wierd because it just started happening all of a sudden. I didn't do any update, didn't download anything new, nothing like that.I know for a fact that I'm simpily not just mistyping addresses or have airplane mode on, I'm stumpted as to why this is happening. To add another layer of confusion, I don't seem to receive all calls I get. For instace: yesterday, one of my friends called me, I received his call right? Well later that day, my Father apparently called me, but I never received any nottification or even a voicemail that he ever did. What the heck is going on here and what can I do to resolve this??

Hello @ThomasWolf
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing issues with your phone.
When you say you’re unable to access the internet, is it just via your Web browser? Or is it apps that require data such as Facebook, YouTube, etc.?
Have you tried via more than one Wi-Fi network as well?
Try to open up att.com/ttr via your mobile web browser; do you see a confirmation page?
If you’re continuing to have issues, then please contact us.
Thank you,

Networking problem (internet access)

My host has no internet access, but the VMware guests do. Because the host has no access, the NAT over host doesn't work when I want to access the internet.
Therefore I added a third bridged network card. With this card internet works fine, but the Oracle Cluster doesn't work any more. It seems to get confused by the added card.
What must I do to make Oracle work again? - Or is there another way to access the internet from the guest if I don't want to let the host access it?

Internet Access from Inside to Outside ASA 5510 ver 9.1

Hi everyone, I need help setting up an ASA 5510 to allow all traffic going from the inside to outside so I can get internet access through it. I have worked on this for days and I have finally got traffic moving between my router and my ASA, but that is it. Everything is blocked because of NAT rules I assume.
I get errors like this when I try Packet Tracer:
(nat-xlate-failed) NAT failed
(acl-drop) Flow is denied by configured rule
Version Information:
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 9.1(4)
Device Manager Version 7.1(5)
Compiled on Thu 05-Dec-13 19:37 by builders
System image file is "disk0:/asa914-k8.bin"
Here is my ASA config, all I want for this exercise is to pass traffic from the inside network to the outside to allow internet access so I can access the internet and then look for specific acl's or nat for specific services:
Thank You!

Hi all,Hello everyone, I need some help before my head explodes. Idddddddd

Hello Mitchell,
First of all how are you testing this:
interface Ethernet0/0
description LAN Interface
nameif Inside
security-level 100
ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.252
Take in consideration that the netmask is /30
The Twice NAT is good, ACLs are good.
do the following and provide us the result
packet-tracer input inside tcp 10.10.1.2 1025 4.2.2.2 80
packet-tracer input inside tcp 192.168.1.100 1025 4.2.2.2 80
And provide us the result!

No internet access for vlan devices

Hey folks,
I'm new to cisco and have only recently started study for my ccna. In preperation for this i've gotten my hands on a cisco emi 3550-48 port switch so i can play and test some scenario's.
Now, I've setup a couple of vlans (200,201 and 202) and i've assigned them to fa0/3, 0/5 a0/7 respectively. i suppose it's irrelevant which ports are assign, they are just the ports i've assigned while typing this.
I know the cisco forums are full of people saying the intervlan routing isnt working and it just turns out to be the static route on the router in the end but i have set all that up and i can not get internet access on my vlan networks. The wierd thing is the switch itself can ping the internet no problem.
Here is my setup :
I've assigned ip addresses as follows :
vlan 200 - 10.10.200.254/24
vlan 201 - 10.10.201.254/24
vlan 202 - 10.10.202.254/24
I then enabled intervlan routing by issueing "IP ROUTING"
At this point I configured the VDSL modem/router (zyxel F1000) on IP Address 192.168.1.2/30 and I configured interface fa0/1 with the following commands :
interface fa0/1
no switchport
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252
no shutdown
I then set the default route using :
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2
Finally I configured three static route's on my Zyxel F1000 modem/router to send traffic back to my three vlans using the gateway 192.168.1.1
As i said above, If I plug into fa 0/3 (vlan 200) and lets say I give myself an ip address of 10.10.200.20, 255.255.255.0 and gateway 10.10.200.254. I can ping the othe vlns and devices on the other vlans no problem but bot for love nor money can i get onto the internet. For clarifications sake my dns is set to 8.8.8.8
Stranger still is the fact that the switch can ping hostnames and ips on the internet no problem. Has anyone got any ideas what could possibly be wrong?? I'm completely stumped.
Regards,
Thomas Quigley

Hey guys,
Thanks for the speedy replies. I have been trying this for about 2 weeks now and last night after posting this message to the cisco forums I got my hands on an old Sonicwall router. I decided to test the connection using this as I suspected that Zyxel router is buggy.
I setup a PPPoE connection on the sonicwall and set that up as my default route matching exactly the ip settings listed above and it worked immediately.
I knew the setup I had ran above was right it was just tormenting me that it wouldn't work. Turns out its the piece of crap Zyxek VDSL modem.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and offer advice.
Cheers,
TQ

No internet access via ethernet port

Hi, have been using my emac via ethernet cable to router, for many months with NO problem accessing internet and others cabled to same router also having no problem and I have used my Pwr Mac wtih no problem and have never had to make any specific settings to either to access the net via the router which gets its wifi signal from elsewhere. With system preferences > network > ethernet open I can see the the router is being recognized cause it appears or dissappears as soon as I plug or unlug the ethernet cable. I open "Activity Monitor" and occasionally, very briefly, there will be data incoming( green spikes ) or outgoing( red spikes ). HD verified OK, ran disk permnissions and scripts. Have not yet run Apple or other( Micro-mat ) hardware testing programs tho I will later. Does anyone know if there is a PLIST file that can get corrupted that would affect ethernet port functioning properly? My guess it is hardware but since I can see the router is recognized makes me wonder about corrupt file ergo a system error or possibly inloaded some file that caused conflict. I also booted from my external drive and tried accessing from the cloned OS system and still did not work. The cloned system is the original has never been updated, nor has any of the applications in clone, so, if it was "system" problem the clone should have worked. However, I had cloned user ergo newest documents, library etc, so that would be the only possible source of conflicts when booted from clone system....Thx Ran

Ping test should be interesting.
Start by pinging router address. Should be able to ping building router if you can figure out it's address.
Could you go wireless to building net? You might buy a usb dongle.
USB dongle

There are usb to ethernet cable.
You could try another browser.
*MAC Address*
Every ethernet port has a unique MAC Address. A router can block on a MAC Address. That is why I suggest you check out your router.
Note MAC is not Mac. MAC is all upper case.

*Ethernet port hardware*
I'd say this was some kind of strange hardware problem.
*Dns problem?*
It has symptoms of a DNS problem. The little traffic is a symptom of the problem. You said all the numbers were the same, however.
Verify DNS
apple > system preferences > network
Double click on network connection you are using.
Pick the TCP/IP tab.
Verify that you have a DNS Server. If you do not, look on your windows machine and see what the net address is. You can also pick using DHCF and still enter you DNS server address.
You can use
harddrive > applications > utilities > network utility
to diagnose the situation.
You can ping google.com. Result:

If pinging 17.254.3.183 works but pinging Google.com doesn't. You have a bad DNS Server address.
BDAqua suggests in a post.
You can use OpenDNS for looking up web addresses.
Put these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for a try...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
I think they now pretend you need to join to use, but you don't.

(Please note that you do not need to a joint Open DNS to use it.)

Google provides free dns lookup too. There numbers are:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Analysis: If you cannot ping Goolge.com but you can ping 64.233.187.99, then you need to enter you dns address. For some reason Mac OS X sometimes doesn't set the dns. You can set it manually.
apple > system preferences > network
tcp/ip tab and enter address of dns servers
example 162.33.160.100
You will need to use a different number.
PS.
You are a little short on stating results. You state what you did, but I have to guess the result.
Did: X
Result: Y
Did:
1) Power Book's ethernet cable plugged into router port 5. Working to yahoo.com.
2) Unplugged power book's ethernet cable from router
3) Plugged eMac's ethernet cable into port 5.
Result: eMac using Firefox was not able to access yahoo.com
