G4 and Internet problems.

Hi, I am very new to macs, in fact, before today, I only used garage band at school. So one of my friends let me borrow his G4-DA(466Mhz). And straight away I ran into a problem. The network/internet won't work. It is the normal network card that came in it, connected to ethernet, and my router is a Linksys WRT4GL. It is connected to the ethernet through one of those networking-through-the-mains things, which works fine with any computer I could test it with. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

There is usually no limit to the length of cables between the cable entry point and your cable modem, and between your cable modem and your Router, or between your Router and your first computer.
One way to re-think the connection problem is to reconsider where you have placed the components. For example, what about putting the Router next to one of the computers. Or placing ALL the components next to the computers rather than at the cable entry-point.

Mac Mini and Internet Problems

According to my re-install disks, which there are 2...I can put in 0S-9 or OSX 10.3.7. I believe currently that I am running the OSX 10.3.7. By the way, please be patient with me, I am relatively new to Macs. Anyway, this morning the internet was working perfectly. This afternoon, when I clicked on my Safari Icon, the Yahoo homepage will load about 75% and then it closes and I get an error message. I also sometimes use Netscape for ebay listings and it is doing the same thing. I called my ISP and my cable modem seems to be sending proper signals and he said it sounds like a computer issue. Through Internet explorer I am able to get on the Mac site and leave a post but this is far as I can go. Any help will be appreciated!
God Bless!!!

The Mac Mini (probably) won't boot natively to OS 9. The OS 9 disks are for what's called Classic Mode. It's for backwards compatibility for those of us who have older software we still want to run; it basically runs OS 9 within OS X. Since you are new to Macs, running old applications is probably not an issue for you, and you will save around 300 MB or so by not installing it.
About your network problem:
+Not all browsers and webpages are built to the same set of standards. Webpages built with Microsoft software tend to be especially notorious about not working with anything other than IE, but IE-Mac isn't up to the universal standards. I usually run Safari, but I have 4 browsers installed: Safari, Firefox (tends to be the most compatible, but I like Safari's interface better), IE, and Netscape (I use it for building simple html).
+Sometimes weird problems are cause when the file permissions are messed up. Go to the folder /Applications/Utilities and run the application Disk Utility, then find the button that says "Repair Permissions" and click it.
+Use the Software Update utility and download the latest updates. First download the 10.3.9 update all by itself, then any Security Updates, then others. You will be stuck rebooting more than once, so when you do this, make sure you have time to sit in front of your computer for awhile.

Email and Internet problem

Hi All,
I purchased my BlackBerry Curve 8250 from Virgin yesterday. When I bought the phone I was told that I would need to register the phone in order to use the internet, but am unsure how to do this? I have managed to set up the phone so I am currently using my home's Wifi but want to be able to use all of the functions when out and about.
Also, when I have tried to add an email address I only have the option of setting up an enterprise one- I'm sure this is probably a simple problem but as I'm not very technologically minded I need help!
Thanks in advance!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
All of this has to do with the original registration...for which you need to contact Virgin for assistance as it is their system onto which you need to register.
Good luck!

MacBook Pro and Internet problems

I do have a RT-N56U Assus and a Macbook Pro, Obviously with Internet connection problems (it looks like the protocol is not 100%accurate). My three windows PC work nicely but not my apple one. I tried different solutions without success. Nevertheless, I solved this issue Just doing the next
In your MacBook Pro
1. Go to system preferences.... wi-fi advanced... (bottom right)
2. Then TCP/IP tab and select and copy the router ID
3. Go to Safari and paste in the search line the ID number (e.g. 321.321.2.2.)
4. Log in to your browser usually is... user; admin password; admin
5.In the Router go to more config (bottom right)
6. In wireless mode use g only and tick the b/g protection (if already not selected)
7. Enjoy Internet.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

Iphone 5s app and internet problem

I was recently bought an iPhone 5s for my birthday last week. I have been trying to download apps in the store, but on nearly all occasions, when attempting to download apps a message comes up on the screen saying that downloads cannot take place at this time and to try again later. Two days later I attempted to download apps again and it said the same thing, try again later.
Another problem I'm having is that if i use safari or any sort of wi-fi needed app such as 8tracks, maybe after 5 minutes of use it says "server cannot be found" although the wi-fi is working fine. I then reset the phones wifi, it works for a small amount of time and then repeats "server not found" could someone guide me on what to do about this?

Hey Hannahmlee,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like both of these issues stem from your network connection. It may be applicable to troubleshoot your network connectivity. The following resource should help you out:

6310i and INTERNET - problem to connect!

Hello! I have a 6310i (pretty old, I know...) and I am trying to connect to internet, but in vain! I am using a pocket pc which connects -successfully- with the 6310i but when calling the Vodafone appropriate number from the pocket pc, the 6310i does not connect to internet! Any ideas why? By the way, I am using a data SIM card from Vodafone just for sending data to an internet server, my intention is not to do browsing or anything like it. I used the SIM card with a Sharp GX29 and it worked in a second. Someone from Vodafone indicated that the 6310i is pretty old to connect to internet. Is this the answer? Much obliged for any advice!

What is the IP address that your PowerBook is getting
from the AEBS? Does it start with 169? This indicates
that it did not properly communicate with the AEBS's
DHCP server.
Do you by chance have the access list feature enabled
on the AEBS? If so, did you add the MAC address of
the PowerBook's AirPort card to the list?
the infamous 169 IP address. yes, that is what it is showing right now. i do not have the access list feature enabled (i'm not even 100% sure what it is, but by looking at the configuration i think i could tell). i did, however, end up doing a hard restart of the AEBS and re-configuring it, with the powerbook, with no luck at all.

AirPort Extreme 7.3.1 Update and Internet Problem

This is driving me crazy. I use a D-Link DSL-320T adsl modem which is connected to my Extreme base station. This modem has never been ideal with my extreme. Firmware updates improved things and 7.2.1 seemed to work really well. Internet was working fine and air disk. My Extreme is set up to share a public address. When my computer is plugged in via ethernet to modem only it works fine. Once it is connected to the Extreme it all goes wrong under 7.3.1. I think the main issue is that the modem has a DHCP server built in and I just cant seem to get everything to work together (although seems fine under 7.2.1) Perhaps the update has broken the D-Link fix again. I need this to work for Time Machine. Getting to the point where I may .
just buy new modem that works. Can anyone suggest a suitable and compatible product.
Many thanks
Phil

The 7.3.1 firmware release has prompted me to do more research, and I think I might have cracked it. My modem (the DSL-300T) appears to have a hidden NAT and firewall functions (in the modem's system log you can see a line about Firewall and NAT starting). This is the cause of the 'Double NAT' error. The modem is also apparently well-known for crashing during periods of intense activity (torrents etc) - according to various posts in this support forum http://www.expansys-usa.com/f.aspx?i=110630 - I'm guessing that when it crashes and restarts the double NAT issue surfaces briefly, which results in the 'no valid IP' error under 7.2.1. Evidently 7.3.1 is more sensitive about these things and constantly complains about the double NAT error.
I partially confirmed this by disabling NAT in the AEBS (by switching to bridge mode), after which my internet works under Firmware 7.3.1. Unfortunately I can only then use my WiFi with one device at a time, which is not much use.
What we really need is a way to disable NAT in the modem. Unfortunately I'm not sure it is possible. There are a few references here and there to an old version of the firmware which allowed you to control the modem's NAT, but apparently it was crippled sometime in 2004 so they could sell a bigger better version of the modem.
I'm now leaning to towards buying a new modem. What is annoying is that I suspected a modem fault around a year ago, and bought a new one to verify it. Unfortunately I bought a second DSL-300T...

ISO 8 a lot of facebook Internet problems it's annoying and I don't know what I have to do about it would some one can help me with that please.

I Have an I pad 2 it was really working so well until I update it to ISO 8 many facebook and Internet problems it's become really slow and annoying I hope Apple will resolve that problem soon
Thanks and regards
Tarek .

Until Apple resolves such issues, there is not much we can do.
However, try to restart your iPad. This helps more than most people realize.
I hope this helps, but I cannot guarantee anything till Apple releases further bug fixes.

Problem with ACE and Internet Explorer 8

I have a problem with ACE (system A2(1.1)) and Internet Explorer 8.
exactly:
ACE is configured as end-to-end ssl with 2 rserver and with the sticky source address. When user is opening the virtual address from IEv7, the web portal (On Microsoft IIS) works fine.
If user opens the same web portal but using IEv8, the session is suspended after 60 seconds.
I think, that the reason is http keep-allive, which is sending every 60 seconds from the user's internet browser.
Here is some information about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection
Do you have any idea how to resolve this problem: upgrade ACE, change the configuration on IIS or ACE ??
Please help.

Hi Kazik,
Using a persistent connection or HTTP keepalives should not have any negative effect on the ACE, so, giving you a straight-forward answer to fix it is not going to be easy.
I would recommend you to open a TAC case to have this investigated further. When you do, please, provide the following data:
A showtech from the Admin context of the ACE
A traffic capture taken on the TenGig interface connecting the switch with the ACE backplane while doing a test connection (preferably one with IE7 and one with IE8 to compare)
If possible, a copy of the SSL private key. Being able to decrypt the traffic capture to look inside the HTTP flow would really make troubleshooting much easier.
Regards
Daniel

Problem with ExternalInterface.call and Internet Explorer

Hi, I´m developing a site, (
www.gen-studio.com/avelart2
), and I´m using a swf to display a set of thumbs that when
clicked show an item and its description on the browser, those
items might be images or video, everything works fine with the
images.
And actually it works fine with the videos too, when using
Firefox, but when I test the page on Internet explorer it just
doesn’t work!
On principle let me describe how it´s supposed to work,
a thumbnail when clicked sends an id number to javaScript using
ExternalInterface.call(“myFunction”,myId); -I´m
using AS3 for the swf´s-
the javaScript file has already loaded (ever since$(
document).ready) a XML file which uses to match the id with a file
and the description, if the item to show it´s a video, then it
creates a variable which holds a string with the proper html to
embed a swf (a swf movie player that resides just next to the HTML
file), when loaded, the swf movie player uses
ExternalInterface.call() to ask for the source of the video that
has to play, and that function is as follows:
setVideo: function(){
alert("hola");
return comun.miVideo;
(The alert(“hola”); is just to test that the
function is being called), which it is, but it returns null as a
value instead of the proper string, and this happens only on
internet Explorer, but works correctly on Firefox.
I´ve been reading all day about the subject and found a
few interesting things, which though have made me narrow my
problem, they haven´t just provided me with a solution, what I
found so far:
-I must have in account flash security issues: Checked (my
actionScript follows:)
import fl.video.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
flash.system.Security.allowDomain("*");
var vid:FLVPlayback = this.miPlayer;
vid.source =
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("comun.setVideo");
-ExternalInterface and Internet explorer don´t work
properly when tested locally: Checked (I have a server on my PC and
I´m testing the site as well in the above direction).
-The object tag holding the swf must have a proper id
attribute: Checked.
-It´s super important the way the object tag is formed:
Checked, and I also tested the tag separately (I put it directly in
the HTML instead of adding it via javaScript) and it worked as
expected in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, which leads me to
believe:
-I read somewhere that if you add the object tag by using
innerHTML or appendChild, returning values from javaScript to swf
won´t work, but I couldn´t find an explanation nor a
solution.
Well, as I said now I´ve been looking all day for an
answer, so I really hope you can help me or give me some advice on
the subject, thank you so much for your time!

Hi! it solved itself !! (nahh, I wish), but it indeed had a
solution, it was something quite simple, and I don´t really
understand why it was not working in the first place, but here is
the thing:
I´m learning jquery and this is the first proyect
I´m officially using it, so I was using
$('#myDIV').append("string"); to embed the swf, (and it was working
perfectly on Firefox), so since I had narrowed my problem to those
lines, I decided to try some good-old-fashioned-javaScript and
changed it for: var myDiv =
document.getElementById('thatParticularDiv'); myDiv.innerHTML =
('string'); and it worked both in Firefox and IE !!!!!! :)
I´m quite happy about it, and if someone knows
what´s the issue with my jquery approach I would love to hear
it. THANKS !!

Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

Hi,
For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

Sig,
Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7.
