Huawei E270 Modem not connecting

Please could someone help me in solving why my Huawei E270 modem is not connecting through internet connect after installing the latest update to Leopard 10.5.3.
Before installing the update, all worked well with no issues, now i says "Connecting" then "Authenticating" and then it simply disconnects. The signal on the modem is good and when I use my mobile phone (Nokia N70) to connect, all works "perfectly".
I also had an issue with iMovie after installing the update, but this was solved by switching resolutions.
If anyone could help I would be truly greatful.

Those Huawei modems are a pain in the butt.
All settings need to be 100% correct. Sometimes they even need firmware updates to work with mac.
The best thing you can do is check your providers website or call them.

Verizon DSL modem not connecting through Linksys wrt54g

I recently switched to verizon DSL from comcast. The verizon modem when connected directly to the back of my mac works amazingly well. Now i was to be able to connect with my laptop and xbox360 wirelessly which was not a problem with comcast. So i take the Ethernet/Data/Modem cable(what ever you want to call it) from the modem and connect it to the INTERNET port on the back of the router. Then take another ETHERNET cable and connect it from the first WAN port to the back of my computer where the modem was originally directly connected. The routers internet light is on as is first ethernet light on the front of the router. And all three lights on the modem are on; internet, data, and dsl. The macintosh is now not able to connect to the internet. The laptop can connect to the network but not to the internet.(says local only) It seems like a lot of people have had this same problem but i have yet to see a solution. and again when i take the cord from the modem to the router and change it back to connecting the modem directly with the home computer (mac) the internet works fine. I know this seems very dumbed-down and a dumbed-down kind of answer is preferred. I have been fixing problems with our home network for years now and have never come across something that stumped me while the solution seems like it would be so simple.

If you have Verizon DSL and you wish to configure your router and connect the XBOX360 wirelessly, then, first thing you should do is to fully bridge your modem, then connect your modem to the internet port of the router and configure your router's internet connection type to PPPoE...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
When the router’s web-based setup page appears, click Setup then look for Internet Connection Type and select PPPoE on the drop-down arrow.
Enter the username and password that your ISP provided you in the User Name and Password fields, including the domain in the username if necessary such as [email protected] and CLick Save Settings.
Click Status then look for Login Status and check it says Connected. If it’s connected, you should be able to access the Internet.
NOTE: If the Login Status says Disconnected, click Connect, then check if you’re receiving an error message.
If you get an error meaasge follow this link
For xbox -
Click on "Applications and Gaming" tab and then click on "Port Range Forwarding" subtab...
1) On the first line in Application box type in ABC, in the start box type in 53 and End box type in 3074, leave the protocol as both and under ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and check the enable box, click Save Settings once done...
2) Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
3) Click on set-up and change the MTU Size to 1452 and click Save Settings...
4) Goto the XBox Network Settings and IP Address Settings and select manual IP Settings and assign the following on your Xbox
IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
Primary dns :- 4.2.2.2...Secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1
6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
IP Address: 192.168.X.[last part of ip in your device] e.g. if static ip given to the device was 192.168.X.10 get the last part and put that to the empty box.

Welcome Tim!
The run-on nature of your post makes it a little hard to get the picture--let me see if I understand: the current state of affairs is that you now have cable internet but the computer will not connect, right?
Cable internet service should be set up through the built-in ethernet on the Beige G3 logic board. No network cards have to be installed to make it work. If the cable installer added a network card, that could be the problem. Most of those guys don't know the Mac has ethernet built in and mss things up by adding a card or connecting through USB, if the computer has USB installed.
Some cable modems require a regular ethernet patch cable between the modem and computer; others require a cross-over cable. You may have to find the instructions for the modem to tell.
Most cable internet service use the DHCP protocol and will automatically assign an IP address. All you have to do is go to the AppleTalk control panel and select "Ethernet" in the window that says "connect via.." Then go to the TCP/IP control panel and make sure the "connect with" window says "ethernet," and the "configure" window says "using DHCP server."
If your connection is not via cable modem, then I'll have to let someone else have a try.
Allow me to suggest that you use normal punctuation and capitalization in your posts here. Not too many of us here do chatroom or text messaging language. There are also some very helpful and experienced Mac users here for who English is a second language. They tell me that posts without punctuation and capitals are hard to translate and they tend to skip over them. Might as well remain open for all the help that's available here!
Glad you found us.

Bigpond Wireless Broadband USB Modem not connecting in new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have recently bought one of the latest Macbook Pros and used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my older Macbook. On the older laptop I used a Tesltra Bigpond 7.2 Wireless USB Modem and it connected and worked fine (using default settings and the telstra connection software), however after plugging it into the newer laptop it has been behaving srangely.
Initially it worked fine for about a day, then kept stating that 'The PPP serever could not be found' - I changed the network settings a bit, uninstalled and redownloaded the software and registered the computer. It worked again for about a day then stopped connecting again. Again, the software manager was uninstalled and reinstalled and again it worked for about a day; however it has stopped working completely now and refuses to even be found by the computer. To make it more complicating, it isnt the modem because it works fine in the old computer still!
I have a feeling it may have sonething to do with the APN address but I'm not 100% sure.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated!! Thankyou in advance

Yes you are right it works fine outside your mac notebook. But it is incompatible once installed inside the system.
Simple do a google search for "WD blue series drives in mac notebooks" and see what comes up.
I am not lying to you about the problems. You have first hand knowledge that with some mac notebooks the WD blue drives don't work.

WD blue is compatible according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Wireless modem not connecting but direct connect is

I have a WRT54G modem and it works with a direct connection but not with the wireless. We had a few power failures yesterday which is all I can think of that caused the problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

If you are able to go online wired from the router then,try to adjust the wireless settings on the router...
Open the router setup page and Under the Wireless tab,Change the SSID to some unique name,Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings.Under the subtab Wireless Security check the security key.
Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

I have changed my internet connection to Huawei e586 modem 3g 4g wireless modem my Air Play not working any more

I have apple TV 3rd generation it use to work fine through the previous modem(THOMSON TG585 v7)
I have changed my internet connection now using Huawei e586 modem 3g 4g wireless modem
At the moment There is internet connection in the apple TV I can manage only through the apple remote. But I can’t AIR PLAY or mirroring from iphone
I can see the AIR Play but I can’t play any music or video in the apple TV. Also I am sure I have activated the home sharing in I tunes/Remote app/apple TV
Personally I think because the connection setting,but I do not know how to fix it can someone advise please?

MOG,
I have a similar problem with this HG8245, but I can't even see the airplay icon in my iOS devices nor my MB Pro. However, I discover by accident that it works very well if I connect the ATV through the wifi interface (tested with my iPhone 4 and iPad 3Gen both w/iOS 6.0.1, and my MB Pro w/OS X 10.8.2). But as soon as I connect the ATV through the ethernet port, it disappears from all my devices.
So my guess is that there is some issue (i.e. undocumented filtering) between the wifi and the ethernet interfaces. I have reviewed the HG8245 configuration but I haven't found how to solve this. Have you figured out how to solve it? I will try to use some port scanner to see if there is some difference im using the wifi and the ethernet ports and will post the findings.

Hi,I am unsure if I have a safari or modem problem. It only happens when I use my macbook pro, my HP windows is fine. Internet crashes on modem and then a message that safari is not connected. I don't know where to start sorry I am not technical at all.

Hi there, my internet is crashing everytime I use my macbook pro/safari it happens roughly every 2 mins, it can happen on any website.
I am not technical at all and I am at a total loss of where to start with this. I did a bit of research on the internet but no luck in finding any
help.
Basically I am not sure if it is a modem of safari problem. I have no problems when using my HP on without windows explorer on the internet.
I am working wireless ADSL 2 - Bigpond - 2 Wire 2701 HGV-W and a macbook pro purchased around 5 months ago. Since the purchase date
I have had problems with internet.
Safari brings up a page you are not connected to the internet. I then look at the modem and DSL and internet lights are both flickering and or/off.
They then re-set themselves. I then have to re-set preferences on safari and quit and restart.
I have also tried using with cable into mac and modem and no difference.
I can only figure that maybe Safari is not compatible with the modem? could this be the case?
Thanks for reading and any assistance would be appreciated.

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

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.

I receive a not connected to the internet message several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via cable modem.. When I input my password to enter network preferences, the connection re-establishes.

I receive a "not connected to the internet message" several times daily on my iMac connected via airport to a time capsule which accesses the internet via a cable modem. Software/firmware is up to date on the iMac (OSX 10.6.8) and Tme Capsule(7.5.2). Browser is Safari 5.1.
When I input my password at the prompt to enter network preferences, all the lights go green (ie... ethernet, ISP etc.) and the connection re-establishes immediately and states "the connection appears to be working normally".
It more of a nuisance than anything and seems to have started ocurring over the past couple of months. I also have a windows XP box also connected to the same cable modem that I never have internet connectivity issues with. I've verified all the physical aspects of the connections and can't see any evidence of any actual drops in the modem logs. I suspect it is just an intermittent communication loss between the Imac and the Time Capsule, but I am not very familiar with Mac equipment yet.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and what you did (if anything) to resolve it?
Thanks.

The AirPort Express will connect to your existing wireless network if the network is using WPA2 Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security settings.
So, it can join the network as a client and then provide an Ethernet signal to your Time Capsule.
Be sure to configure the Time Capsule to operate in Bridge Mode so that it will be operating on the same network.

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem)

I have a new time capsule (replace my old time capsule). I want to erase my old one. My computer does not see the old one anymore, how do I connect it (the old TC is not connected to modem). I want to erase it and then use it as either a second hard drive (sired/sirelesly?) or as a hard drive/bridge. So,
1. why doesn't my cmputer see the old TC
2 once i have solved that, how do I erase the old one
3. Can I use the old one as a supplemental hard drive
     a. wired?
     b. wirelessly?
4. Can I use the old one as a range extender?
I know .. a lot of questions but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

1. Because it is either the same IP as the new one or hidden by being plugged in as a second router.
To access it, isolate one computer from the existing network and plug it directly by ethernet to a lan port of the TC. Use the erase function in the TC to remove all the content of the hard disk.
Then go to the internet tab, connection sharing and select off bridged. You can then reconnect the TC to the network.. and the computer as well. The TC will act as bridged device.. getting IP from the main router and should then appear correctly in Airport utility.
2. I covered in 1. But you just go in airport utility manual setup. disk, and you will see the erase function. You can also set it to bridge and leave the erase until you put it back in the network.. but be careful you erase the right one.
3. You can use the old TC via wired or wireless.. although I would always stick to wired connection if possible. Speed on wireless is 10x worse than wired.
Also note the reliability goes down dramatically after 2 years.. a series 1 3 years old or more is ebay fodder unless you want to repair it. Do not trust vital data to it.. when it dies you will have issues recovering it.
4. Yes, all apple routers will function as wireless extenders. when you do that the ethernet ports turn off so it becomes a purely wireless device.. strange apple decision on what you want to use your TC for.

I have a new comcast modem i have connected to Time Capsule with cable, TC in double NAT. As when I tried it in bridge mode I cannot use Sonos, the units will not connect to the wifi network? I thought Bridge mode would make the wifi signal better??

I have the TC connected to the comcast modem, with TC in Double NAT mode. I set up the sonos music players ok. But I read that to incresae the wifi signal the TC should be in Bridge mode. Then I cannot get any of the Sonos units to connect to the wifi network.
So two questions, does the Bridge mode give a better wifi signal then double NAT?
Why will sonos not connect to the network when in Bridge mode?

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.
