Full Strength Airport Network, No Web, Can access through neighbors!

Simly put, I get full strength from my Airport Express, open system (no WEP or WPA) but it will no go to the web! My MB Pro, MB, iBook, Powerbook all work fine, just the iMac. I can mooch from two of my neighbors open networks (for testing purposes only), I can stream from iTunes, I can log into other computers, only when I go to the web do I have problems.
I have reset, reinstalled, deleted Airport Prefs, ran AppleJack AUTO, all to no avail. Any ideas would be helpful.
iMac 17 inch CD   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

I've been having problems where at times it was impossible to join the net but, like yourself, adding insult to injury I could connect to an open network with a weak signal and surf at blazing speeds. This thread :
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=911693&tstart=0
explains my problem I really have found putting the primary DNS server settings into the PrefPanes under the Network System Preferences has helped a great deal.
It might be worth getting all your advance settings from your ISP and checking these against the settings in your router, also the normal stuff like checking / changing channel on the router etc. I also downloaded and monitor the other networks via iStumbler which has helped too.

  • Can't connect to airport network (but macs can)

    I have an airport extreme base station that usually provides connections to three computers, an iMac, macBook, and one pc. For a while however I haven't been able to connect the pc to the airport. The network does have security in the form of a WEP password. I don't know much about network security however, and the windows interface for wireless networking has different terms than that for mac. Even stranger, the PC doesn't even see the base station, nor does it see the network in the wireless network connectiosn window, but sometimes it does see the network (with a good signal) but it cannot connect. I have all of the software updated, so I don't think it would be that, but maybe there's something I'm missing? The PC lately has been connecting to other wireless networks around the neighborhood, so I don't think it's the network card either.

  • Can TLD jar can access through EAR / APP-INF/lib folder

    Hi All,
    If I have a TLD files into jar file and their specific classes are also into jar file .
    Now can access those jar through EAR file APP-INF/lib folder or else its must to access through WEB-INF/lib folder.
    any pointer will be great.
    Regards,
    Kal.

    I suggest you assume that's how it's supposed to work, and get that to work most efficiently. I have no idea what you were trying to achieve by putting the taglib jar in APP-INF/lib. Perhaps you have multiple webapps and you wanted to avoid multiple instances of the taglib jar? If that's the case, I believe you could use WebLogic "shared application libraries" (I don't think that's the correct term), where you deploy a jar file as an application library, and the weblogic.xml file in each webapp that uses it would specify the name of the application library it uses.

  • Lost airport network share and print access - security update?

    Roughly around the time I installed the last security update to my 10.3.9 iBook I lost Airport 802.11b access to printing services, afp and smb shares.
    I still have internet services (email and web).
    If I connect via fixed ethernet everything works.
    Any suggestions?

    I fixed this, but I can't remember the full details. Sorry! I just wanted to mention there was a fix. I think I somehow tricked the system into forgetting all prior access and I rejoined the network.

  • I am currently having problems accessing a network connection.  I have reset my IPAD network connections and am still having a problem.  I know that it is not my network because I can access the internet on my laptop computer.

    I am having problems opening any email or apps on my IPAD 2.  It says there is no network connection but I don't have any problems accessing the internet on my laptop.

    In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
    Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
    If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
    Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
    After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
    To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
    AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
    ... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
    Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
    The window looks somewhat like this:
    If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
    When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

  • Mother of All Bonehead Questions---AirPort network. What can I do?

    This is a very basic question. But, it's been driving me crazy.
    Right now I have an AirPort Express plugged into my cable modem. This iMac is getting its internet through said AirPort.
    My wife's eMac is plugged into the AP via a cable. That's how it gets internet though it really seems like the eMac has a slower connection. However, the wife doesn't surf much so it's not a big problem. (Though any words of wisdom would be nice.)
    I suspect that if I knew what I was doing, the three problems below would go away.
    -Our office computer (a Canon all-in-one jobber purchased last year) is hooked up to the eMac via another cable. As it stands now, I can't print anything from my computer without actually moving the printer cable.
    -Also, we have one iTunes account. She buys her music and I buy mine. There doesn't seem to be anyway to share this music via the wireless network.
    -Finally, our photo collections are slowly drifting apart. She has her film camera and I've got, you know, something from this century. Like the music and printer, I just suspect I should be able to share everything back and forth.
    Thus far, the Apple.com website hasn't helped though I'm not very good at navigating it. I have a wireless network; it's working so Apple's happy.
    But should I be able to do more?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Right now I have an AirPort Express plugged into my cable modem. This iMac is getting its internet through said AirPort.
    My wife's eMac is plugged into the AP via a cable.
    Since the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) only has one Ethernet port, I'm a bit perplexed on how you were able to accomplish this. Are you sure that your base station is an AX? Please refer to the following link to verify: Identifying AirPort hardware

    Hey there Mr. Spock,
    It sounds like you have done most of the troubleshooting in http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972, and home sharing on one computer. I dont know if you have done this, but I would next check the Firewall settings with that article.
    Troubleshooting Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972
    5. Check Firewall settings
    If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
    In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
    If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
    For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
    Block all incoming connections
    Allow only essential services
    If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
    For more information on ports used by Apple products, see Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • FTP can access through URL?

  • New PC laptop - can get on Airport Network but can't access internet

    Just got a new HP laptop for real estate reasons (MLS is only available through a PC).
    All of my other computers are Macs and my wireless network is on a Airport Basestation.
    I can access the network with the PC but can't get on the internet even though I'm on the network.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Ok, you have a completely different situation than that of the Originator of this post. In your case, you're using your Mac as a software base station and not a wireless router.
    The following would be the setup steps...
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
    Enable Software Firewall
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    - Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac > (wireless) > PC
    Setup Port Order
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    - Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
    - Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    - Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
    - To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    - AirPort Options
    -- Network Name: <anything you want>
    -- Channel: Automatic
    -- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
    -- Password: (optional)
    -- Confirm Password: (optional)
    -- WEP Key Length: (optional)
    -- Click OK
    - Click Start

  • PC Still Can Access Network without Joining AD in ISE Environment

    Hi Folks,
    I'm new to ISE and I have a problem about access control with ISE and here's my situation:
    The wired 802.1X is deployed with windows AD using ISE. For now, Clients joined the domain can access the network well, however, for computers which havn't joined the domain can also access the network if the users know their account of the domain. They can start the 802.1X service by themselves and configure the network card properly, connect the network cable, when the windows dialog pops up, the user can enter the username starts with the domain like "mydomain\username"(mydomain is the domain name) and the passowrd, then the computer can gain the access just like it had joined the domain. So I think there may be some mistakes with my Authentication and Authorization Policy.
    My authentication policy is configured like this:
    the ChinaPnR-ISE is the AD name
    My authorization policy is configured like this:
    I'm wondering if I can add one condition to math the hostnames of the windows as computers which had joined have the unified format?
    Thanks!

    It didn't really work for me.
    I managed to set up the AEBS better now, but still no true networking.
    I can access the USB HDD from the iMac that is connected via the WAN port on the AEBS. But it's not mounted.
    I started up my old iMac, and connected to my network. Interestingly, if I search through the folders in the network link of my old iMac, I find the USB HDD and can actually access it!
    The old iMac also sees my netbook (identified by brand and MAC address, which I recognise and is correct for the netbook).
    When trying to access that netbook, it asks for a workgroup, a user name and a password. No idea why and what those may be. I assume I have to set those up on my netbook?
    Then when trying to do software updates on the old iMac, it does not seem to be able to connect, whilst I have safari open and running fine on the same machine at the same time, what's up with that???
    In the mean time my new iMac does NOT see the netbook or the old iMac. I wonder why that is?

  • Error joining the selected airport network?

    I'm trying to connect to my linksys wireless using WPA with a powerbook but no luck. My password which I know is correct (it's working on another G4 and my wife's Gateway. I get the following message when selected my network. "There was an error joining the selected airport network". I can connect via a neighbor's unprotected network, so airport is working. Other times I've tried it says password is incorrect.

    Wi-Fi Protected Access networks normally require a plain-text password or passphrase. But in rare cases you may have to enter a string of 64 delightful hexadecimal characters.
    The HEX password is derived from the plaintext password therefore you shouldn't need to create anything new. Check the linksys router for the HEX version of your plaintext password.
    The AirPort interface doesn't welcome this wonderful practice by default (imagine that), but it's buried in there for when you need it. Just hold down the Option key while choosing your network from the AirPort menu, then you'll be set to enter all 64 of those easy-to-remember characters.
