Help! Wireless/internet problems

I recently bought a new Toshiba laptop, my girlfriend was down state visiting her parents so I was the only one home. I connected my laptop to the internet wirelessly with no problems what so ever. A few days later she came home and was on the internet and when I tried connecting to the wireless network it said limited access no internet access and also took hers offline too, she turned her computer off and mine started working. We screwed with the router and pretty soon I could only connect to the wireless once and a while by myself. I hardwired the computer to the internet which worked but as soon as she tried connecting we both had no internet. I am getting VERY frustrated can anyone help me?

On all your computers that are running Vista or Win 7 (which yours most likely is), disable IPv6 under LAN properties for all adapters in the computers both wired and wireless. Disable UPnP in the router. Reboot computers and try to connect again.

Ethernet/Wireless internet problems..This is Driving me CRAZY..please help!

Alright i hope someone out there can solve my problem because i am about to throw my macbook against the wall. This is my problem:
Everytime i go on to the internet, in order for the internet to work i have to pull my ethernet cable out of the plug, plug it back in and refresh the page. The internet then works for about 4 pages on avg. and then it times out and says im not connected. In order to continue surfing on the net i have to pull the cable out and plug it back in. The wireless acts the same way. It will work and then times out. I have to turn off the airport and back on to get any internet.
The browsers im using are Safari 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.0.1 and both act the same way. My roommate has a PC and has had no problems whatsoever. Our internet comes through the wall from a plug not from a router. I personally believe that it is my computer because i have tried getting internet from the plug in his room and the same thing happens. The wireless around my school comes from different towers and no matter where im at the same thing happens. I dont believe that its the internet. Ohh and one more piece of info. My first year at school my computer gave me NO internet problems whatsoever. I bought the computer brand new in June of 2007.
If anyone knows how to fix this extremely annoying problem, please help me!! Thanks to all who answer~

Hi
I'm getting a problem which may be related, and i've figured out some workarounds (sort of inadequate ones but at least they're something).
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: almost immediately after installing the 10.5.5. system update, my MacBook started disconnecting itself from my wireless network. i'd be working online and suddenly i'd notice that only 3 bars of the AirPort icon on the menu bar would be showing and that the internet connection was no longer there. the only way to get the connection back would be to switch airport off and then back on and it would connect again. a couple of minutes later the connection would be gone again. infuriating stuff! i checked the system log using the Apple System Profiler (from the Apple menu) and found some messages about there being too many state changes detected on the AirPort network interface and that measures were being taken to fix stuff. it's a pity i didn't save the original error message since i no longer get it, but here's one I found that's identical reported by someone else:
May 25 16:50:57 phoebe mDNSResponder[22]: Note: Frequent transitions for interface en1
(FE80:0000:0000:0000:021E:C2FF:FEB9:8B73); network traffic reduction measures in effect
anyway, the "measures" seemed to be to simply disconnect me from the net, which wasn't great. now the forums mentioned various solutions, but none of them actually worked.
SOLUTION/WORKAROUND: two things seem to have made a difference. 1. i downloaded the combo 10.5.5. system updater and reinstalled it. somehow after i did this the problem would no longer happen (at least those errors would no longer occur). 2. keeping my ipod touch wireless interface switched off, because whenever my touch comes online within a minute or two the iBook disconnects from the net.
COMMENTS: (1) even now if i connect to the wireless network with my iPod, my MacBook's connection will drop - so my solution is to not connect to the wireless network with my iPod touch, which ***** because i like to read stuff in bed on the touch sometimes. (2) reinstalling the system update (the combo version) definitely helped, because before i kept getting that error message in the system log, and even if the iPod touch was switched off the MacBook would still disconnect. (3) this suggest that there were two separate problems, one to do with a corrupted AirPort driver or something of that sort (which was fixed when I reinstalled the system update), and another to do with being kicked off when the iPod touch connects to the wireless network (this problem remains).
I've replace my Linksys wireless router with a Netgear wireless router, but that's made no difference, so i'm pretty sure that the problem has to do with the MacBook - either the hardware or the software. I plan to get another hard disk soon at which point i'll do a clear reinstall of the OS, and if the problem persists then i'll know that it's a MacBook hardware problem. =(
i'll post again here in the future, but if anyone has comments or suggestions or reports of this kind of problem then your input would be highly appreciated.
thanx

Software Installer and wireless internet problems after upgrade from Leopard to Lion.

Last weekend I upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro from Leopard to Snow Leopard, and then from Snow Leopard to Lion. I'm having a couple of problems.
First, I cannot get the wireless internet to work. My internet connection is fine, I can plug the ethernet cord in and all is well. But I cannot get wireless signals to work. Have tried both my Airport Express and an old linksys router, and neither seem to work. They both worked just fine before the update. I had very fast wireless internet, and now nothing. With the Airport Express, when I plug it in iti'll just continuously blink orange, and the Airport Utility refuses to recognize it. The linksys router seems to work, because it puts off a signal and my iPhone connects to it. My computer recognizes the signal, but it won't open any internet pages, says I'm not connected.
Today I tried to install Apple's Migration Assistant software to help with my first problem. But a funny thing happened. The software installer says I don't have enough space. But I have plenty- I have almost 200 GB, and I only need 5 MB for the program. I've never seen this happen before, it's so odd. Any suggestions?
I really appreciate any assistance/suggestions!
Thanks,
Ellen

How do I purchase "Snow Leopard" from Mac App Store?

You can't purchase Snow Leopard from the Mac App Store. Or "download" it. That will be possible for Lion.
For the Apple Online store, why can't you just look for yourself?

Wireless internet problem!

hello,
i just got my new laptop a couple days ago. i have a netgear wireless router and a cable modem. everything works fine at my house and the internet works as it should. the problem is when i go to another house it doesnt work. everything is plugged in right and its the exact same modem as the one at my house... but i just wont work. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

did you unplug the cable modem for 30 seconds?
basically, from my limited knowledge of these balky things:
cable modem grabs an IP from the ISP.
router grabs that IP and assigns its own IP to a pool.(DHCP)
MacBook grabs one of those router IPs.
so your MacBook may have the old router IP, which has the old ISP IP it got from the old cable modem. often times shutting off one or all of the above will force them to refresh and grab the correct IPs. does that make sense?

Wireless Internet problem on macbook pro

I have been having problems connecting to the Internet lately. When I go to the airport signal I never see a signal. When I do get one my Internet cuts off after about 10-15 minutes My roommates are able to connect no problem and have pc's. My iPhone picks up a signal all the time. I wanted to know if anybody knows how to fix this problem? Thanks

If your roommates aren't having a problem, it could be a hardware problem on your MBP. I did have a problem logging onto an older Windows-based network until I realized I had to type the "$" before entering the hexidecimal password. But you're not even seeing a WiFi signal, so it could be your hardware. If so, hopefully your unit is on warranty?
I don't have any WiFi problems on my unibody MBP in general. It seems to easily connect at home in any room (via Airport Extreme), at work, and at any coffeehouse, hotel, or mall that has free WiFi--and it remembers the network so that the next time I visit I don't have to do anything other than open the lid and turn it on. Also, at home, I typically see all my neighbors routers, even though they must be at least 100 feet away.

Time Capsule Wireless Internet Problems

I am using the new Time Capsule as a wireless router with all my devices connected to it. I use a BT Home Hub as the DSL modem. I constantly lose my internet connection. It is so bad that the only solution is to power cycle everything by unplugging form the mains. Any thoughts?

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

Help - serious internet problems

I have installed Adobe 9 but it seems to be causing me horrendous problems with the internet. I can connect to my chosen home web page but when I try to go to another web page the whole thing just freezes. This has happened several times over the past week and each time I deinstall Adobe 9 the problem rectifies itself. The problem is that when I try to access pdf documents or images, the whole thing wants to upgrade me again so I am going round and round in circles. Can anyone please advise me what is happening here?

More weird results.
It turns out CAN access this forum from Safari browser, but it takes a VERY long time to load.
I tried our iPad. I can access this forum fine and it loads right away using same WiFi as laptops?!
I still can't access gmail.com from Macs or iPad, but can access it just fine from iPhone (via AT&T, not home network.) Errors: Opera says "Session closed by remote server". Safari on iPad says " server stopped responding". Safari on Macs says "can't open ... because server isn't responding"
MOST urls load fine and super fast. Only a few don't load at all (e.g: gmail.com) via home network. Others load fine on iPad on home network but VERY slow on Macs (e.g. this forum)?! Everything seems to work fine from iPhone using AT&T network.
I'm really confused?!

New User - Wireless Internet Problem

Hello all.
I'm a brand new Mac user but I am becoming extremely frustrated with connecting my Mac Mini to my existing wireless network. I have WEP enabled and I know for a fact that I'm using the correct password. Just to be sure, I disabled the password function. My Mac Mini sees my home network but will not connect to it. The only error I get is "There was an error joining the AirPort network "WirelessHome"." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

]The only error I get is "There was an error joining the AirPort network "WirelessHome"
Which wireless router do you have?
Some 802.11b access points require a firmware upgrade before 802.11g (Extreme) clients can connect.
Though 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b some older access points were developed before 802.11g and therefore are not in a position to allow the 802.11g clients to connect.
Check the vendor site for a firmware upgrade for your wireless gateway.
Note that you can attempt to persuade an Airport Extreme client to operate in 802.11b mode.
Hold down the control key [ctrl] when selecting the network from the menu.

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

Hi there Bananaman, you are one of those wonderful volunteers out there, anyway, as I have said purchased machine on 06 worked for at least year and a half then quit on me. I cannot access the internet, took it to office depot since I purchsed it from them, they're offering FREE tune up had me purchase a Linksys LAN card telling me the built in wireless netcard had given up on me. Did not help, they sent me home w/ the LAN card assuring me it will work since in my house I have a wide range of wireless internet connection whatever. Did not work either. Called IBM Lenovo only to be declined of tech support because machine not warranty covered. Yesterday, I tried to fix it(LOL) for a miracle to struck me but to my despair. I don't know what to do, I want to take it to service center recommended by IBM but got no green. I am hopeful that, being a member of the Lenovo community, I could find some real help from real people like you. These are the characters I see at the back of my machine I think as the product number, (TYPE 2511 - FEU S/N ******* 0510) Thank you.

Need Help setting up 2 wireless internet computers with 54g wireless router

I setup the 54g wireless router using the setup disk. It appears to have worked find and the first laptop has wireless internet. I am not familiar with setting up a totally wireless network so I am not sure if I did the rest right. I then setup the 54g wireless internet router on the 2nd computer. It appears to have loaded but will not connect to the internet. I looked at the linksys setup etc... for both computers and all is the same including the WPA key, IP address, and the rest. No differences noted. I have no idea why the 2nd computer does not have wireless internet access. It has wired access only. The 2nd computer shows the wireless network but won't connect to it. I click on it and hit refresh and nothing happens. I am at a loss as to what to do now.
With 2 wireless computers, must there be a main computer and a secondary computer? The 1st computer also doesn't have access to windows network setup for some reason. It tells me to go to the knowledge base at microsoft.com and look up 871122. No idea why the windows network setup is not working. It did work before I got a new cable service provider and modem. However, the windows network setup is working on the 2nd computer. Any help is appreciated.

does the 2nd computer even need the router info loaded into it like the 1st computer or should it be enough that the wireless network was created on the 1st computer? In other words, would having the router info loaded in both computers cause the 2nd one to not connect? I have spent hours on this and I am very confused now.
My router connects fine to the cable modem. the 1st computer connects fine to the router and gets the wireless internet without a problem. Again, the 2nd computer shows the network name but won't connect to it. help please!!

[SOLVED] Wireless internet connection problem during installation

Hi to everyone!
I ask you a help in activating my wireless connection.
I tried to install from the recent ISO (201208 - via CD)
but I found some problems in activating a wireless connection in the first steps
of the installation guide.
My laptop is a Hp pavilion dv5 1020-el, with an Intel wireless 5100AGN internal interface.
So I did:
1) iwconfig to see my devices and the system detects my wlan0.
2) followed the Wireless_Setup page from wiki to set it
3) used wpa_supplicant and passphrase to set my ESSID name and wpa key.
4) iwconfig then showed wlan0 associated with my ESSID, with Power ON and Encryption OFF.
I could not try a connection via ping command.
Even wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf did not work.
Maybe the problem is with Encryption OFF.
Thanks for your attention!
EDIT:
I solved this way,connecting to an open wireless open network:
1.(from boot) I created a profile in /etc/network.d/ from /etc/network.d/examples
2. started a # netcfg 'my_ESSID'
3. # ping -c 3 www.google.com
All is ok! I can install Arch Linux from my smartphone as a router.
But I couldn't connect to a WPA protected wireless network yet.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. The company who provides the wireless internet service to my apartment complex moved the antenna next to my unit and claims he boosted the power. As the saying goes, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease". I complained almost daily to the apartment manager and she, in turn, griped to the provider which eventually led to the "solution" above. Using Skype is still shaky as the person I'm calling isn't always able to make out what I am saying. So, I use Skype only when I REALLY need to make a phone call. Even though none of your suggestions solved my problem, I am still very, very grateful to all of you who tried. Thank you very, very much! -- Matt
