Getting clamshell iBook to connect to the internet with BaseStation

Hey all!
I'm trying to get my iBook Clamshell to connect to the internet. I have FiOS and have connected the BaseStation via Ethernet to the LAN port. I have tried to configure the BaseStation both wireless and wired, but the AirPort Utility couldn't find it either time. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. Its the Snow (dual Ethernet port) BaseStation.

"Finding" a Base Station for the first time with wireless is difficult.
Make it less difficult by connecting via Ethernet cable (in the second port) to configure, then switch to wireless.
OS9 Internet setup:
Ideally, you would be hooking up by plugging the Ethernet cable into one port on a multi-port Wireless+Wired Router. If there are no cabling issues, the "connected" light should come on at the Router.
The next step is to get a valid IP Address from the Router. When the Mac "wakes up" it self-assigns an Address like 169.254.xxx.yyy and stops there. To force it to Broadcast a request for a Router to assign it an Address in the same range as all the other active IP Addresses, you need to force some Internet Activity.   Assuming that since you posted on the OS 9 forum, you are indeed using OS 9, this whole scenario can be monitored using the OS 9 TCP/IP Control Panel.  Open the TCP/IP Control Panel and check to make sure that the built-in Ethernet port is selected and that it is configured to get an Address using DHCP. All other fields can be left blank. You MUST close the Control Panel and save changes before anything will take effect.  
Then force some Internet Activity, by opening a browser window and entering a URL, or setting the Network Time, or checking Software Update.   Then re-open the TCP/IP Control Panel and see what IP Address has been assigned.
  case1) you have an IP Address in the range of all other IP Addresses on your local Network, differing only in the last digits. You are good to go.  
case2) you have a "self-assigned" Ethernet Address in the range 169.254.xxx.yyy. You have not been able to talk to the Router, so you should suspect cabling problems or port problems.  
case3) you have Address 0.0.0.0. You have not caused any Internet activity or your software is messed up.  Remember that you must close the Control Panel for any changes to take effect.

Hi all,
Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.
If I was say,connected via my laptop,my desk top would continuously keep getting disconnected and vice versa.I have been reading the suggestions from experts here and have done a few checks based on them.I also cannot get to my router page which is 192.168.1.1 I keep getting a message that says "Problem Loading Page" and this happens with both,Firefox and Internet Explorer.I am running Windows 7 - 32 bit on my desk top and Vista Home Premium on my laptop.
I have opened the "Command Prompt" dialogue and pinged 192.168.1.1 and thereafter I typed in "ipconfig".These are the results:

I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Gerard.

The results I obtained using ipconfig in the command prompt have already been mentioned in my OP.
I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

How do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

how do i connect to the internet with my ipad?

Did you turn WiFi on in the Settings App? If WiFi is turned on, your iPad should be able to see any WiFi networks that you can connect to and you should be able to tap on one of those, enter a password if needed and then tap the join button.
I get the feeling that you know this and the problem needs further explanation so ... Can you explain in more detail?

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Lots of hotels in the DR have WiFi. And there is plenty of cellular coverage in Santo Domingo (and elsewhere).
One thing to be careful of, the WiFi networks are usually not secured and are very vulnerable to people "listening" for passwords and user names, so don't do any financial transactions online and perhaps consider setting up some temporary passwords for the trip and changing them when you get home.

No connection to the internet with MINI

Hello from sunny Jerusalem.
I got a problem - my IBook connects to the internet via ethernet jack from the router in the apartment next door .
I had unplugged the IBook and plugged the same jack in the new MINI and there is no connection.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=578432&tstart=0
all the advices lead me to beleive that i am an idiot !
Posting this from work using my MINI which i had connected here.
Any input anyone?
be well and safe.

Since it works on the iBook, the check the network
settings on the mini.
System Preferences -- open Network -- check the
settings on the Built in Ethernet Connection. You can
compare it to the iBook. It should be configured to
"Using DHCP".
If it isn't a settings problem, and it works on the
iBook, then you probably have a bad ethernet port on
the mini.

You'd see that there i stated that i had taken the MINI to work and had internet connection there as well, which proves that the ethernet port is fine, also i had stated that the info from TCP/IP in the IBook i copied to the MINI's...
but my poit is that i did not need to do anything at work with my MINI- just plug the ethernet and go !
I shall go directly to the router when there is a chance.

My imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an 2wire DSL modem.

Help my brand new imac and ipad2 will not connect to the internet with Windstream using an "2WIRE" DSL modem. Windstream tech service is useless. i can connect with the built in router through Ethernet or wireless, but still no connecting to internet, help! windstream said everything is working on their end, yea right. What i do know is that both the mac and ipad work at other places and can connect with wireless connected to the internet, so i know it's not the apple products.
these are brand new machines with lion.
This is my first mac, so I’m still new to how it works, which is not helping either so a detailed help would be great. Please help before my wife losses it
thanks

There is a 2701HG-B, and a 2701HG-D. If not labelled on the modem, ask Windstream which one they presently supply or how to tell the difference.
By the way tell your wife it isn't that bad. At least you have an ethernet DSL modem. There were times where DSL modems had RJ-11, USB, and Ethernet, and all three were used to provide access. At least now only the craziest DSL providers still use those modems.

Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable. Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable.
I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that. Strangely, it works.
My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
Sorry, if my sentences are confusing. I have a terrible headache at the moment. While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health.
BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment. I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either. What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone? Thanks in advance.
Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".

Can't connect to the internet with airport or firewire

I can't seem to connect to the internet with airport or firewire. I recently restored my old G4 mac mini PPC 1.42 (with airport and bluetooth) Tiger 10.4.8 with a new harddrive. I have it connected to my leopard mac pro, internet sharing is on (both computers), the systems are connected, however, the mini just can't connect to the internet. tried it also using airport, no go. network diagnosis seems to go in a constant loop.

works ok with ethernet connection though.
that'll work.

Unable to connect to the internet with my Fujitsu ...

Ive just got a Home Hub 4 and have connected it to my laptop, a Fujitsu Esprimo V5535. But it is only giving me Local Only Access. Which means I cant connect to the internet. The Home Hub is working fine as my netbook and other mobile devices are all connected ok but my laptop isnt.... Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Did it connect to the Internet with your old homehub?
Make sure the network card drivers on the laptop are up to date using the manufacturers website rather than Windows which can be out of date. You will need to connect by Ethernet cable to download them or download them on another device and copy them over.

IBook not connecting to the Internet

I have a weird problem with my iBook G4. I cannot get access to the Internet at all. I connect using a TimeCapsule. In total I do have 3 Macs, 2 of them connect just fine just my old iBook gives me headaches. It doesn't acquire a correct IP address either. The IP address it gets is something like 169.254.184.21 where as the other Macs get 10.0.1.198. I do connect over Wifi. The Wifi symbol in the menu bar gets all bars on the iBook and the TimeCapsule does show 4 connected clients ( I do guess my iPhone is one of them).LAN doesn't solve the problem. Exact same situation. The Mac says it has a self assigned IP address. It looks like it doesn't get the IP address from the TimeCapsule. The iBook runs 10.5.5. I do use DHCP.
The TimeCapsule does connect to a Cable Modem (not directly - I do use LAN over Powerlane to get from downstairs to upstairs where my TimeCapsule is sitting) I have this setup now for about a year and it used to work fine. Its only lately that my iBook doesn't connect to the internet. I don't know what changed. It used to connect just fine. I had it on the road and used it with other WiFi clients some time ago, not sure if that introduced the problem.
I did restart both the TimeCapsule and the Cable Modem and I already reset the PMU on the iBook.
So - two Macbook Pros and one iPhone connect just fine to the Internet using this TimeCapsule. It does show 4 connected clients and I do get all the bars in the menu bar on the iBook.
Please help. I have no idea what to do or where to look for the problem. I hope someone does have an idea.
Thanks a lot for your support
Kind regards
Andreas

The IP address starting with 169 indicates that the iBook was not able to communicate properly with the DHCP server on the Time Capsule.
Did you by any chance enable MAC address filtering on the Time Capsule? If so, disable it.
