Email not working with home network

If this is answered elsewhere, my apologies.
I have a first generation iPhone, which is set up on the wireless network at work and also at my previous apartment. I had no problems receiving e-mails whether over Edge or wirelessly. When I moved into a new building and set up the router, both the phone and Apple Mail on my MacBook refuse to receive e-mail from either work or personal Gmail accounts, though I can browse the Internet at my heart's content on either phone or MacBook and check email through the browser. If I take the phone off the wireless network, it pulls e-mail off the Edge data network just fine, and it continues to work seamlessly at work. I tend to just keep it on Edge now, which isn't ideal, but I get the e-mails that way. I've had a similar problem with random hotel wireless connections as well.
Anyone experience a similar problem or have a solution? I'm using a Motorola Surfboard router at home and a WPA passcode. Thanks!

I have been able to surf on Safari over the wireless network on both the phone and computer, and the phone does pull email on the work wireless network and previous home network. Gmail works just fine on the MacBook too, but Mail doesn't want to pull in messages at all.
I actually played around more with my router (Motorola SBG900) and when I turned the firewall completely off, the e-mail finally pulled properly. Is it worth just leaving the firewall off, or can I adjust the settings so that it will allow the phone to access the network to retrieve mail? In the advanced settings of the router there are a ton of "Port ID's" and depending on Motorola's vague "High" "Medium" "Low" Firewall settings, it allows inbound access to different Port ID's. Thanks!

  • IPod touch not working with home network?

    I know this question has been brought up dozens of times before, but I couldn't find a working solution in any other posts so allow me to explain my situation.
    I got my touch a few months ago, it was working fine with my unsecured home network. Now, the ipod claims that is connected to my network, however it will not load webpages or anything else that might make it seem like it has an internet connection. When I go to Safari, the page attempts to load for what seems like forever and then comes up with the same message everytime claiming that the server has stopped responding or that the server cannot be found. It does, however, work perfectly with the free Wi-Fi hotspots that I connect with in businesses with no problems at all.
    I have tried:
    Resetting Network Settings
    Resetting iPod (factory restore)
    Resetting my router
    Renewing the Lease on my iPod network connection
    Turning the iPod's Wi-Fi on and off
    Turning the iPod off and back on
    Changing the DNS number to (4.2.2.2,4.2.2.3.)
    I'm not sure if this is significant, but when I am "connected" to my network according to my iPod, it says I have full signal. When I am disconnected and my default network is just on the list of networks, it says that there are only two bars of signal strength.
    Please help, I don't know what is wrong with this thing.

    Have you updated your router firmware lately? If not, please do so.
    DNS is usually provided by your ISP. I would use that unless your other devices can't reach the network either. A good alternative is OpenDNS which you can find out about at opendns.com.
    When you think you are connected, tap Settings > WiFi > then the little blue > next to your network name. What type of IP address are you seeing? If you see that your IP address starts with 164, then you really are not connecting to your network.
    You might want to look at a couple of router settings. What is DHCP set to? (this issues your IP address) and What is MAC address filtering set to? (if this is on and your iPod MAC address has not been entered into the router table, you will not connect). DHCP should be on, MAC address filtering off. Additionally, look at what your default DNS is set to. Most routers have a box to check saying "Use ISP" for DNS.

  • HT4623 my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    my voice call services is not working with cellular network...only works fine with wifi..please help?

    Since you have already done some sort of reset on your Airport Express, you might as well make sure it was a "hard reset" - follow the instructions for a hard reset found at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
    Since your Mac is running Leopard, you need to configure the Airport Express using the Airport Utility found in the Applictions->Utilities folder. You cannot install the old software that was supplied on the CD you got with the Airport Express.
    In future - if you do something bad with network settings on your Mac, do NOT try to fix it with the Airport Utility. The Airport Utility is only used to configure the Airport Express - and since the problem you have created is on the Mac and not the Airport Express, there is no need to be using the Airport Utility and especially there is no need to be resetting the Airport Express.

  • Airport express not working with optus network

    Hi there, the airport express seems not working with my optus network. It is keeping me I cannot access the internet but I do have a wifi signal. Initially I thought there was some problems with Enhernet Wan port on the AE, but after I've done some research I found there might some changes needed to be done with my old router. All I know is im using a NETGEAR router, network type is PPPOE. Also, there were people metioned on the forum that theold modern should be changed to brigdeging mode. I have no idea what is it. Please help. cheers.

    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • Email not working, with 3gs, 4, and 4s

    Please help me out, I've searched this issue numerous times in the past couple months. When I had my 3gs, my email started to not load on my phone a couple months ago. I got the "imap.xxx server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings" whenever I would go to check my mail manually because there was nothing being pushed. I would get 2 errors, 1 for each account. 1 is a gmail, 1 is an other. It's an intermittent problem that I used to be able to solve by going into settings, turning "off" that mail account, go to the inbox, then back to settings to turn it back "on". This would work every time. Then after a couple weeks, that stopped working every time. I also tried just turning it off and back on and doing soft resets. That worked most of the time as well. After a while, all of those options stopped working 90% of the time. Then I switched to the 4s a couple weeks ago and the problem is worse. It goes days without working and I can't figure out a way to get it to work. I've searched and have seen the workarounds for gmail, but it's doing it for BOTH accounts, so the problem isn't with gmail. I deleted the accounts and added them back in as well. That worked initially, but the same problem came back up within 5 minutes, or about 3-4 manual fetches.
    What I HAVE noticed is that most of the time while I'm at work, it will fetch fine if I turn off wifi...but it doesn't work every time. It's not just work wifi (we have 2, tried both), it's the wifi at home as well. Even tried an open wifi wherever I was yesterday and nothing. This seems to be my ONLY lead at this point. I've had the same settings for years, never changed them, and this problem just started about a month or two ago.
    My co-worker with an iphone 4 also says she has been having the same problem...we're both AT&T.
    It's very intermittent. Sometimes it will be days without being able to load, sometimes it will be minutes. I finally decided to ask for myself because it's been days of no email and as I'm finishing typing this, I get a push email notification...I swear Apple and AT&T are messing with me   I've had this issue on ios4.x, 5, and now still 5.0.1.       

    Interesting thing happend when I got home . . .
    Found that my home network was up and running, but the power cord to the cable modem fell out.  So, no internet connection.  Once I reset the nework, I was able to get all my e-mail accounts set up and working again on the iphone.
    When I got to work this morning, I had the same problem as yesterday.  Turned off wifi on the iphone and now everything works.
    Checked the office wifi and it is working fine. Although the signal is weak in my area of the office.
    Seems like IOS is not smart enough to know when wifi is available, but the external connection to the internet does not work. 

  • IPad 1 running IOS 5.1.1 not working with home WIFI, but everywhere else

    I have an iPad 1 supporting 3G and WIFI running IOS 5.1.1 and up to now it has worked great.  We recently had the cable modem in the house upgraded and the box included a better WIFI system than we had before.  After installation, all the laptops in the house worked great except my iPad.  One of the kickers is that when my wife came home with her iPad 1 running IOS 4, it worked great too.  And when I've gone to a hotspot, it also gets connected well.
    The symptoms are that the WIFI menu will see my home network as an option.  When I select it, I get a spinner and the left side bar will indicate that it is using that network, but the spinner never completes.  The upper left will mostly stay as 3G and will occasionally go to a WIFI setting, but nothing will connect.  If I tap on the details, I usually don't get DHCP connection and get an IP address.  Once in a great while, I can connect up and have access, but it is incredibly slow and usually fades off in a minute.
    I have tried turning off the iPad, resetting network settings, telling it to forget the network and try again and reset the iPad.  I have removed all security from the router, reduced down the encryption to WEP like the old wireless router and still nothing.  Of course the Cable company says it is the iPad problem and I tend to agree. 
    My next step is to erase and start over, which I do not wish to do if I don't have to.
    Any ideas?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Company VPN not working with Home Hub 5

    Hi
    I switched to BT infinity a month or so ago, but have only recently tried to access my company VPN through the service (VPN uses Citrix Xenapp).  It used to work (with my previous ISP using a different router) just fine.
    I can connect to VPN okay, but when I try to launch a virtual app (Windows 7) I get the usual pop-up asking if I want to run the app - I answer Yes but then.... well nothing happens.   It's the same in IE11, Chrome and Safari.  No error or warning messages, just nothing,
    VPN works fine from other locations (just not home - which is where I need it!).
    Have searched around and found other postings like this:-
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/142​44/c/346,402,405
    (Tried that and it hasn't worked). 
    Tried switching off parental controls - but that did not good either.
    Also tried factory reset of the hub (not that I've changed any settings) with same result.
    This old thread seems similar, but specifically states that the issue wouldn't affect HomeHub 5:
    https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/New-firmware-kills-VPN/td-p/1196385/page/21
    I'm working on a wired PC in home office, so wireless isn't an option.
    Can anyone help?  It's like something is blocking the application but no messages etc.

    Do you connect via a website or via a client? If it's via a client then try adjusting the MTU on the network interface on the device that's connecting to the VPN try for example 1200. If that doesn't work I'd get your support guys to talk to the software vendor as I'd guess you aren't the first person to have this problem.

  • Airport Express not working with University Network

    So I recently purchased an Airport Express to use as a router/to stream music because my University's (University of Arizona) network is a WPA-2 Enterprise network doesn't allow that. I have an ethernet port in my dorm room and its all hooked up but when I connect to my created network there is no internet connection. I already registered the MAC address with the network so now I'm not sure why its not working.

    I have just bought the new Airport Express as well and when I plug it into my router at home it does not pick up the Internet. My old AE has no problems at all and all other connections work.
    I can see the new AE in my Airport Utility but cannot connect to it. Really frustrating and far from plug and play.

  • Datasocket does not work with two network cards

    If I have two ethernet card in a PC. The Datasocket server does not work if the second card is enabled. It keeps displaying resolving IP Address. I am wondering if there is a solution for this problem.
    Thanks 

    Thanks for you reply. One card has a static address(10.20.35.1), which is used for Data socket, and the other card uses a dynamic IP address. The card with dynamic address is only used for connecting the PC to the company’s network.
    The second card, when turned on causes the Datasocket server problem. In the Datasocket Server manager I have only two IP addresses under Permissions Groups. (10.20.35.1 and 10.20.35.11. 10.20.35.11 is the IP address of the remote PC with labview application. The Datasocket is used to transfer data between the two PC’s)
    I am wondering if my set up for hosts in Datasocket Server manager is not correct.

  • IPX not working with new Network Configuration

    Here is my situation. I have been engaged with a customer that had the following equipment.
    1x 3640 Router running IOS c3640-d-mz.121-3a.T1
    1x 3550 L3 Switch running IOS 12.1.15 EMI
    8 x 3548XL L2 Switches running IOS c3500xl-c3h2s-mz.120-5.WC13.bin
    When I was asked to look at the network they were experiencing slow LAN speeds (10.8MB file between two LAN hosts around 12 minutes). This network consisted of 10 Class C networks 10.5.60.x - 10.5.69.x, these networks were based on the 3560 split between two interfaces. Odd ranges on FE 0/0 and Even on FE0/1. The router was acting as a stub router on a T1 from the client’s core network provider. This core provider has IPX services that my client has to be able to use. Under the old design there was no VLAN structure and basic network services such as DHCP barely worked.
    Now the network is configured with the 3640 router as the edge routing device and the 3550-48-EMI is configured as the LAN routing devices. I have split the 10.5.60.x range in two using the lower segment for VLAN 60 and using the upper range as the communication network between FE 0/48 on the 3550 (ip addr 10.5.60.130 255.255.255.128) and FE 0/0 on 3640 (ip addr 10.5.60.131 255.255.255.128), these interfaces are connected via an ISL Trunk. Each VLAN is set at the 3550 with the gateway of 10.5.x.1. Each of the 8 3548XL switches is configured with all of the VLANS and are linked to the 3550 via 100 BaseT and 1000BaseT interfaces configured as dot1q trunks. Multicast routing is enabled on the 3550 to allow services like MDNS and Imaging to occur across VLANS.
    With all this said IPX is not working. My 3640 edge router is still seeing all of its upstream IPX servers and networks. This router also sees the local IPX network as connected out of FE 0/0, based on this config setting (ipx network 1368023) FE 0/0. I'm guessing that this piece of the puzzle is based on my L3 changes on the LAN. But I just am not able to wrap my head around what it is. Any help that could be offered concerning this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Whatever the solution is it needs to happen with no more hardware and this new structure has to stay in place. I have been able to fix all ip network services such as DHCP and the customer reports a 1013% speed increase from the point when I first arrived. The 10.8 MB file mentioned above now transfers in about 8 to 10 seconds across the LAN.
    Again Thanks.

    I was pretty sure of that. Is there anyway to tag the IPX traffic to a VLAN from the 3600 as described in http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios120/120newft/120t/120t1/ipx_vlan.htm Which so far hasnt worked...
    Or is there a way that I can simply use broadcasts at a L2 level to accomplish connectivity? This was working like a charm under the bad network configuration that was purely L2 and 10 subnets drapped accross two router interfaces. It seems like there should be some sort of simple fix I'm missing.
    Otherwise is there a way to have the VLAN clients talk up to the 3600 in order to get IPX information? In the end this is a short term fix. 3 weeks from now the IPX app is being replaced by and IP app. But I need it for 3 more weeks.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Email not working with Apple ID

    Have iPod touch 5th Gen. In setting up Apple ID to iMessages, it states my email is already linked to Apple ID. However, the Apple ID wouldn't accept my acct. So I tried putting in my password with the Apple ID, changing password and finding Apple ID. It states there is no apple ID with this email but when creating my acct it won't let me use email to apple ID as it says its in use. Any ideas?

    It is a different ID. My daughter's email worked with her Apple ID to do iMessage and she has same Apple ID as I do for iTunes because she was not old enough at time to have her own email. So this should not be the case.

  • EPrint to email not working with D110a

    Okay, so some are working, that is good
    The one I sent from from Outlook, so it is not a general Outlook issue. But, could be related to your Outlook settings or the account Outlook is using to send the email. The problem I have is understanding how when you send, you are not getting the verification that you sent. Be SURE the email address you are using in Out look is right. Best way to do that is copy and paste it from a source you know is working. Something as simple as an extra space can mess up an email address.....
    Other than that, it would be nice if someone from HP would chime in.... I got a question from yesterday and they have not responded yet ether......I have had the printer since Sunday, so my knowledge is pretty limited

  • Aperture email not working with Entourage

    I'm running Aperture 3.4.3 and recently upgraded to Mt. Lion.  Suddenly, my email connection to Entourage is not working, and there appears to be no way to select Entourage as my preferred email application.  Any help, or is this a case of an "upgrade" actually being a "downgrade."  FRUSTRATED!

    OOOOOps--hit the wrong link. THIS DID NOT REALLY SOLVE my problem.  Yes, Entourage runs just fine in Mt. Lion.  It is version 12.3.5. I'm guessing the issue has to do with the sandbox, whatever the heck that is.  Getting sick of having to update everything just to make it compatible with the new OS when it is otherwise working just fine.  I suppose that this kind of nickel and diming and constant need to upgrade is what keeps software companies in business....
