High speed cable internet connection.

I connected my Power mac G3 (upgraded to G4) aand running OS9.2.1, to the internet via cable ISP. The system works fine except, I can connect to all my favorite web sites except www.apple.com. When I try, the connection seems to be made to apple.com but the content of the screen is blank (white). Same results to any apple site.Has Apple closed out access to OS9 users? At one time I had installed OSX 10.2 but it was so finicky that I removed it.
Any ideas?

Hi, Rudy -
I use only OS 9.1 and IE 5.1.7, and have no real problems accessing the Discussions forums. Occasionally a forum page will display incorrectly - everything is shifted to the right - but a reload of the page fixes that.
When I go to the Apple homepage, Apple.com, I get a page with the global tabbar at the top and a few links on it, but no other content. Clicking the link for the Site Map allows me to get to other pages. The page for the Apple Store has the content it should have, but it is not displayed quite the way it probably should be - the center portion with the picture links is shifted downward. Ditto the pages for .Mac - the elements are there, but the arrangement is off.
So far these anomalies have not been sufficient to cause me to change things at my end.

RVS4000 restricting high speed cable internet.

I have a RVS 4000 with a Charter Internet That is 5 MB up and 60 MB Down. the RVS4000 seems to be restricting my speed on the up to 3.6 and down to around 21 MB.
With a workstation directly connected my speeds are 4.5 and 46 MB respectively, but when i plug the router in I lose speed.
I have the firewall turned off.
Any ideas.

Hi David,
Thank you for posting. Try going to IPS -> Configuration and disable IPS Function. This should help with your internet speed.

I chat freezes after switching to high speed cable

3 weeks ago we purchased a new I Mac and set up I chat video conferencing with an AIM account. It worked well, with only a few break-ups in the video. At that time we were using a DSL connection-our buddy (Mom) a 2 yr. old I Mac on high speed cable. We switched to high speed cable 2 weeks ago and from that point on I Chat hasn't worked. We connect for a second and then the picture freezes and we get an error msg. We have had our "Mac Doc" out twice and talked to the cable guys- everyone seems stumped and so far nothing has helped. Any ideas on how we can fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Steve

Motorola - SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem - Silver

can you use a Motorola - SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 High-Speed Cable Modem - Silver and a router instead of the modem/router that they provide?

I'm not sure if you're asking about DSL or FiOS service.
DSL service requires a DSL modem, not a DOCSIS modem.
FiOS does not use modems, just routers. FiOS routers do have a MoCA (coax) port to talk to the ONT and set-top-boxes. You can use non-Verizon routers with FiOS, but it requires an Ethernet connection from the ONT instead of MoCA. If FiOS TV is used, a Verizon router must be in the mix.
So, the short answer is there is no Verizon service that uses DOCSIS. Cable-modems are not used with Verizon services.
Good Luck.

Should connecting to a router affect speed of Internet connection?

I have a Netgear router and I have connected it to two MacBook Airs that I have.
I have cable internet, a line that comes out from the wall, and which I stick into the computer using the USB ethernet dongle.
But now that I am using a router, I connect the cable line into the router and use the ports to connect to the computers.
My question is:
What is the correct IP address that should be showing?
Network System Preferences show:
Status: Connected
USB ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192:168.x.xx
The usual IP address (when I am not using a router) is usually 185.xxx.x.xx.
Is this OK, that it's showing the routher IP address?
The reason why I am asking is that the internet speeds seem to be slower when I am on the router.
It might just be my imagination and also because I am checking the speed a lot more than usual.
Should connecting a router affect the speed of the internet?
The router's maximum speed is 300 mbps and the cable internet's speed is 100 mbps.
I have noticed that the speed of the internet with the router is very variable: about 12 - 80 mbps.
Should I not worry?
I know that the internet speed with cable internet can fluctuate a lot more than with DSL.
Thanks for any replies.

I am connected to the router by LAN cables. I am not using wireless. I am using cable modem.
The cable from the wall goes to the router into the WAN port. Ethernet cables go from the router's LAN ports and to the two computers.
When I wasn't using the router, the speed of the cable internet could go as high as 100, occasionally as high as 200 (100 was the advertised speed of the cable internet).
Now, with the router, it's around 30. But I have gone as high as 80 while I have been testing with the router connected.
I think I am worrying for nothing, but I just want to know generally --- does a router affect the speed (assuming it's a router that can handle maximum speeds of the cable modem and that it's connected correctly, etc)?
I read that cable speed can depend on how many people are using it at the same time in that area and that sort of thing. I know the cable speed does vary a lot. But usually it's good during the daytime, about 90 mbps.

Making sure Network High Speed Cable is being used

Hey all,
I have a quick question.
I have a new iMac 24 inch Alum computer. I have a highspeed internet system already. My modem is both wireless and linked with cables. I have the cable linked into my Mac.
How can I make sure that my iMac is using the 'cable' instead of wireless? In Boot Camp WinXP mode, I faster download speeds, so I 'think' that OSX is using wireless mode.
I have Airport turned off.
Is there a way to secure and or set to priority, the 'cable' link route?
Many thanks...
Loving this Mac! Its a giant iPod!!!
Bill

Cool.. I didnt know if it was using WiFi or some other wireless direction that I didnt know about.
I am hearing now that others are having download issues also in OSX after the latest update. One found a cure for it at MacRumours.com where they added DNS entries and suddenly the download speeds in cable and AirPort were resolved and back to high speeds.

Can i connect directly from my cable internet connection, or do I require a cable modem?

I would like to se up a home network using my cable internet without having to rent a cable modem from my service provider. Can I use a Time Capsule to connect directly to the cable internet, or do I need the modem to establish the connection before using the time capsule to create my network?

The Time Capsule does not have a modem onboard. You will need a modem if you want to be able to connect to the Internet.

How to set up CABLE internet connection

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 version. I am using Cable modem for internet.
Can somebody tell me how to set up internet connection please?
Thank you

Hello,
1. Please make sure that you are able to ping to the cable modem by setting both IP of both cable modem and system in the same range.
Hint: Please read the catalog come with cable modem to find default IP and change the System IP to the same range.
Normally the IP will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
2. Access the cable modem through browser with the URL http://192.168.50.50 and make necessary changes.
2. Set the DNS in your system by editing /etc/resolv.conf. touch if it is not there.
3. Set the proxy in your browser if ISP have.
3. Then reboot the system.
Please follow the steps and let me know details.
Thanks,
Sal.

How to determine speed of internet connection

I am on a Carribean island on DSL service that seems to be intermittent. Is there a way to determine the speed of my connection and if it goes on and off. I have used the activity monitor but it doesn't show me the speed of the connection. Thanks.

You might try dslreports - here's the link to their international-based tests at http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest?more=1

High speed expanded internet t only getting 0.38 upload speed

I need at least 0.60 upload speed for my new job so i switched isp to Verizon for the expanded highspeed which was supposed to cover that speed (3.84 - 7.84 kpbs they advertise) i need for Hd live stream. when i first set it up it was high enough but now it is consistently down to 0.39. I have spoken to 3 robotic online techs who try and tell me this is the fastest i can get in my area and that is a good spped and it is not- on speedtest.net my upload speed of 1.29 mbps and 0.39 mpbs rate a grade of F!
Fios is not available in my part of l.a yet but they have it the next neighboorhood oover in snata monica.
No one will help me fix the problem. When i spoke to billing they said it looked like there was some kind of problem blocking my line but these techs i spoke with can't find it and just go through the script they are taught i suppose.
can anyone help? my laptop is only a year old and i connect directly to ethernet cable. i defragged and clean computer but no change.
Help or i am going to have ti try and switch to ATT U verse. My modem is an Actiontech.
HELP

Chances are slim if you're in a Verizon area that AT&T U-Verse would be available. AT&T and Verizon typically don't overbuild on each other except in very few, specific circumstances. Besides, I personally wouldn't order U-Verse due to their 300GB/m data cap. DSL Resellers are always an option, but whether or not they can deliver the desired speed is up to the line, up to their equipment or more often than not, up to Verizon.
For this issue, you may have been "optimized" if you saw the speed you desire earlier. Would you be willing to supply your modem Transceiver Statistics? If you're not sure how to get this, please let me know what your modem make and model is.

High Speed Cable Modem Login - Change Settings

About a year ago FireFox stopped function to modifiy settings (such as port fowarding).This drove me relantly to use Internet Explorer for this work.Now in Windows 10 IE is replaced by Microft Edge. It will not perform the settings changes.If you check a checkbox it reverts to unchecked. Additionly the Port Fowarding dose not report the existing checkbox status. (They show all unchecked) Iven though the port fowarding I have setup in the past is still functioning. (as I have seen no client complanits so far)Modem vendor Name: SMC NetworksHardware Version: 1BOperationg mode: R.GFirmware Version: 4.01.21-CCR

Is is possible to use a netgear wireless router to share a cable internet connection between an airport express and a Sony BD player?

Hi,
I have a couple of netgear wireless routers (WGR614, WPN824 v3) as well as a Belkin wireless router (F5D8233-4v3) lying around, and was wondering if it is possible to use any of these to share the internet feed from a cable modem to both an airport express and a Sony Blu-Ray Player? I connected the WPN824 router between the cable modem and the airport express but the airport express will only give an orange light then as if it does not have internet access. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Many thanks.

What you are basically attempting to do is extend the Belkin router with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) via a wireless connection between them. This method is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Unfortunately, WDS is not a standard and router manufacturers implemented, in most part, to only work with their products ... so it will be very unlikely that you can create a WDS between your Belkin and the AX. There have been a few Belkin model that have been updated by third-party firmware that support WDS, but the models you listed are not any of them.

Just bought a 13" mac book air. When streaming vidoes from amazon it stops every 10 minutes or so to download --I have high speed wireless internet. video streams fine on my older pc.

I just bought a 13" Mac air. Streaming videos from amazon.com stop to load every ten minutes. my wireless internet is fast and a good connection. same video runs fine on my older dell pc.

Entering the URL of an HD version of the movie into the URL line in Safari changes things but does not resolve the problem. Now I see the QuickTime "Q" after about 5 seconds, and shortly after that the QT logo fades and a large question mark appears over it. After that, nothing.
