I am losing connection to internet...

I recently reset my DSL router and now when I open explorer I can not connect until I do a repair.  I get a "local" connection only.  I can browse to other pc's that are shared but can not get out to internet until I do a repair.  After repair, I can surf for a while, but when I come back later or the next day, it is the same thing.  I am seeing an error 12007 in diagnostics.  It looks like this:

  • Losing connection to internet

    I have a Mac-mini (Intel) with leopard. I recently connected to Belkin-G-Plus mimo router/ADSL modem, by direct ethernet cable. Sometimes my mac loses connection to internet although its connected to router. on the network panel there is a message saying the "ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not connect to the internet. after restarting the Mac or swapping to wireless connection I can overcome this. How can I stop losing the IP address ?
    thank you

    You have a "hidden" network on your router most likely and Mac's won't automatically reconnect to them.

  • Periodically losing connection to Internet when online

    I have a G4 laptop and just about everytime I'm online my computer "appears" to stop talking to the internet. I have a Cable Modem and that I am connected through ethernet. I can be on line and when I switch to a new web page, it will just sit there (perhaps beginning the load, but never finishing). I can get the connection to reset by unplugging the Ethernet cable and putting it back in. My brother has a G4 laptop and has not had any problem (using my modem and the ethernet cable), which leads me to believe it's my computer.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm assuming you're using PPPoE to connect to the Internet. You might want to check your PPPoE Options from the PPPoE section for Built-In Ethernet in the Network pane in System Preferences. There are options to connect automatically and to disconnect if idle.

  • I keep losing connection to internet using safari

    I am using MAC OS 10.4.11 and Safari version 4.1.3. I have checked with my Internet provider, Verizon, and they tested and found no problem. I am using airport to access the Internet. Is there  a way for me to check the airport for problems as well as Safari? I appreciate any assistance.

    Have you tried adding local DNS servers? This sounds a bit like the problem I had that Erik W solved by having me stop using DHCP for DNS servers and adding my ISP;s local DNS servers manually - do not know if this has been fixed in 10.5.1 or not since I'm back to my house that has wired internet

  • Keep losing connection to Internet...

    ...and often when I am able to gain access to the Internet upon opening a couple of tabs (on Google Chrome) my computer "freezes" and I have to turn my computer off then on again.

    The whole computer freezes? To me this certainly clues into a software issue on the machine rather than an issue with the DSL service.
    To the above poster: Can you provide the information DSLR asked for above?

  • WRE54G losing connection to either router or PCI?

    I have a WRT54GS V6 router, a WMP54GS pci card and now a WRE54G V3 Expander all with latest firmare. Router is downstairs and coverage is fine for most of upstairs but my bedroom is about 20 feet down a hallway and signal is low (and sometimes non-existent) in this bedroom.
    Have set the expander up properly following the many links  on this support forum and when I first plug it in, everything is fine.  Blue lights on, my bedroom PC says "excellent" signal with 54mbps speed and internet works great.  After about 10 minutes though I can't access any websites or connect to expander through browser. All of this time, the lights are still blue and my PC still has 5 bars and excellent signal strength.  If I try repairing connection, it will connect again with a low signal and not allow me to access expander settings so I'm assuming it's bypassing expander and connecting to router rather than expander.  The only way to connect again to expander is to power it down and on again and I'm then back to a great signal for 10 minutes.
    Things I've tried after searching the forum:
    - tried different channels
    - assigned new IP address to expander
    - enabled mac filtering on router to stop PC from bypassing expander and
    reconnecting to router.  In this case, same problem but then can't repair/connect to router and must restart expander to connect to it.
    - tried setting a different SSID on expander and setting PC to connect to only that one.
    - turned off power saving mode in settings of my PCI card (via device manager)
    - moving expander to different places.  If I place it at top of stairs, the signal in my bedroom is not great.  If I place it in my bedroom next to computer, signal is great.  Either way though, the same  problem happens after 10 minutes or so.
    Aside from resetting the expander and following all of the the setup instructions again (which I've done about 5 times now), is there anything else I can do?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply.  No, I'm not losing connection to internet when I'm not using the repeater.  It's only when I add the repeater to the mix do I lose the internet connection along with connection to the repeater.
    Called Linksys today and they first advised me to re-flash the firmware even though it had the latest version. No change.  They then told me to try to wall power plate rather than the AC wire connection.  Not sure what that has to do with it but will try it. 
    I bought this unit a few weeks ago via Amazon for $35 as a refurbished unit.  I'm starting to think I just got a lemon.  Unfortunately, the actual seller was Amazon but some other reseller that doesn't accept returns on refurbished units.  
    I will try WEP but to be honest, I really don't want the unit if it doesn't support WPA as it's supposed to.  And yes, I have assigned a static IP and gateway.  I also tried changing the computers gateway to the IP address of the repeater (read that suggestion somewhere) but again, no luck.  

  • Acouple of days ago I kept losing connectivity with the internet.By resetting either my modem or Airport Extreme I could regain it for 10-30 min. when I would have to repeat the resetting.Since with Apple

    A couple of days ago I kept losing connectivity with the internet.By resetting either my modem or Airport Extreme I could regain it for 10-30 min. when I would have to repeat the resetting.Since,with Apple & Apple store support & many hours of contact with them the problem keeps recurring

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • Access point --- Internet losing connection every 5 minutes....

    i have a wrt54g v6 router and a wmp54g both current drivers and firmware from the linksys website. i am frequently losing connection between router and internet. i've lowered my mtu, i've forwarded ports, reinstalled card in all 4 pci slots, i've literally done everything i know possible to do. i sat on the phone for 4 hours waiting on a linksys technician before my phone died friday trying to get ahold of someone for some help. resetting the router doesn't seem to help at all. the connection loss time is random aswell. sometimes it's for minutes sometimes it's for 10 seconds, but when you're playing online games that's all it takes to disconnect you. i've been going absolutely crazy trying to fix this so if anyone has any idea's i would be ever so greatful.

    2.0ghz amd 2400+

    First off all i don't suggest to play online games on wireless since as we all know wireless is such an unstable media for connection.
    Can you tell me the distance between the computer and the router. Also what is in the direct environment of the network.
    Are you using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. This device is can cause intermittent internet connection on wireless networks
    we still have to isolate the problem just in case something else is causing your problem.

  • Losing connection to AirPort Extreme/internet

    It has been going on for about a week now.. but its just weird. I will be surfing and then notice the light on my AirPort Extreme blinking amber........ then after a minute or 2 it goes green. It will do this almost all day? Is it the router? is it Comcast? Is someone else messing with my wireless connection?
    I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON.......
    I have 2 machines hardwired to my AirPort Extreme and I use the wireless for my XBOX360
    What do I need to do to correct this issue?
    It is driving me crazy when I am surfing online and playing the XBOX 360

    I too keep losing my internet connection. i bought an aiport extreme a few weeks ago. Prior to this I was using a cheap sparkcom 4 port ADSL wireless router and NEVER lost the internet connection in several years of use. But not any more. The extreme plugs into an X modem and thence into a BT line. The imac has an ethernet connection to the extreme. The internet connection just keeps failing, eg Sunday morning on the web not trouble for several hours, then BAM connection with internet fails and no more internet for rest of day. Several calls to ISP who blame the router.
    Now I just use the modem to connect to the net, router is boxed up and ready to return to apple store.
    Like other posters here, its is driving me crazy. Help lines often just talk gobbledegook, why oh why is connecting a computer to the internet so excrutiatingly difficult? I have wasted HOURS, no, DAYS of my life trying to solve internet connection problems. I thought the move to all APPLE products would make everything plain sailing, but apparently not.

  • Internet Connection loss after losing connection between 2 sites

    Hello,
    I have started working for a company over a year ago and recently we are running into an issue with losing internet after a loss of connection between companies site.  Below is a summary of setup.
    Company has 2 locations, Site A and Site B..both same domain
    Site A has DC and other servers such as ERP, Document Control Software.
    Site B has DC, Printer Server, File Server and other essentials servers.
    Each site has own independed 20 MB connection.
    Site A and B are linked via MPLS and only used for ERP, Document Control software, and DC traffic.
    Recently we started to have frequent connection issues with the MPLS and as a result I started to notice none of the users at Site B can access the internet such as google.com, msn.com...etc. As soon as MPLS connection is restored interent works.
    The DC at Site B was setup before I started working for company.
    I have been trying for the past few days to figure out why Site B is losing connection when MPLS Tunnel is not operational...but so far no luck.
    I am very sure that internet traffic is not routed via MPLS because when internet is working the IP lookup such as "whatismyipaddress.com" points to ISP IP address for site B. Also when doing tracert to external website the route is via ISP for
    Site B.
    I think this issue is related to DNS but cannot tell the cause or how to fix? 
    Thanks for assistance in advance.

    Hi 
    Having said internet is not routing via MPLS, Even i think to be a DNS issues,
    Try to check the below
    Ensure all the client DNS is set to AD DNS server 
    In AD DNS server ensure its not forwarding DNS query to Other site 
    During outage check any client PC manually changing the DNS IP to 4.2.2.2
    - all client DNS are set to AD DNS server
    - I checked the properties for the AD DNS and found there are 3 forwarders listed.
    The first IP is at Site A which is resolved.
    The second IP I am not sure about since it is not even in our subnet (not resolved)
    The 3rd IP seemed to be for an old DC that is no longer operational (not resolved).
    - During outage if I change client machine DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.2 they can access the internet.
    I guess my issue is with the forwarders. Would the right step be remove all 3 forwarded and add 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2?
    Thanks.

  • WRT54G v4 keeps losing connection to the internet

    My WRT54G version 4 keeps losing connection to the internet. I've been on the phone w/ customer service so many times that the last time I think they gave up because after putting me on hold they never got back on the phone! :-)
    Anyway one pattern I am seeing is that the router loses connection to the internet within two or three hours after I disconnect from the Cisco VPN and shut down my work PC. Has anyone else seen something like this?
    -Frank

    I found that Linksys EasyLink Advisor is a needless program that ultimately downgrades your router from a good piece of technology to a problematic pile of junk. So, therefore, try uninstalling Linksys EasyLink Advisor to get your good, solid hardware back. All you need to do to in order to get your router to work is plug it into an outlet, plug your Internet connection into the router, and then connect your router to your computer. It should then work without software (i.e., LELA) complicating it up.
    Now, if you feel the need to set up an SSID or security, which I highly suggest, type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser. Leave the user name blank, and type admin as the password. Go to the Wireless tab and type something in as the SSID. It could be anything, just as long as it isn't linksys. Click on the Wireless Security sub-tab. Select WEP as the security mode with a WEP encryption of "64 bits 10 hex digits". Now, in Key 1, you need to type in a 10-digit password of numbers 0-9 and letters A-F (I believe). I suggest you use your phone number since that is very convenient in this instance.
    Hopefully what I suggested in the first paragraph resolves your problem. If not, I suppose you could ignore the second paragraph if you feel the need to reinstall LELA. *shudders*

  • Losing connection to wireless internet when computer goes to sleep

    I have a Macbook, with OS 10.5.6. I connect to internet via airport connected to internet via belkin router. When I close my macbook to put it to sleep i keep losing the connection to the internet. The airport is connected, its only the internet connection that is lost.the only way round this is to restart the airport or belkin router, when the connection is restored. does anyone know a solution to this problem?

    Similar symptoms here. Fortunately my MBP "recovers". When I made some experiments with VPNs yesterday, I noticed, when switching the network environment, that the computer is requesting a new IP address. Maybe this will also happen when the Mac wakes up? And maybe the router doesn't respond properly? I would try to set a fixed IP and see what happens then.

  • Slow connecting to internet and Flash frequently quits

    My iMac has been very slow over the past while. I am on Snow Leopard, and have all the updates.
    It takes a very long time to connect to internet and also to webpages. Simple commands such as inputing text and dropping menus take forever. I have that coloured pinwheel running for very long periods while attempting to make the connections or garnering responses to commands. Often the tasks will time out. I've been getting messages such as "Safari has shut down, there is a problem with flash, this error will be reported to Apple" and frequently I'll get a message that Flash has inexplicably quit. I've had the computer lock up and the only thing I can do is to shut down the computer, losing all my opened pages and unsaved data.
    I don't know if it would make any difference, but I have asked my service provider to send me a new modem. I have DSL and ethernet.
    Is it possible that Flash is corrupt and should I reinstall, or are the other problems, such as slowness, etc not a Flash related?
    I know I have a lot of old emails and other files which I have to clean out. Does this have a bearing? I have cleared history, removed cookies, and performed other cleanup tasks.
    My trial support period with Apple support has expired, so have no recourse through them.
    Thanks,
    Ted

    Ted, that does seem odd. Did you do a control-click (i.e. hold down the Control key while clicking) on the Macintosh HD icon? It should have presented a small menu of options, of which one is Get Info. Alternatively, if you have a two-button mouse, right-clicking the icon should have behaved similarly.
    You’ve got plenty of available disk space, so a crowded disk can be ruled out.
    The number of bookmarks should not have any effect on the browser’s speed. The size of your inbox theoretically could affect the speed at which you download e-mail, but you have enough available disk space that it shouldn’t be an issue.
    If you use Apple’s Mail program, does it offer an option to download e-mail but keep it on your ISP’s servers? If so, do you use that option? If you do, then that could certainly slow down your e-mail downloads if you have a large inbox, since your e-mail program would spend time figuring out what has already been downloaded vs. what needs to be downloaded — and if you check for e-mail often, then that processing could slow down your browsing.
    For both Flash and Firefox, the download will only overwrite packages of the same name if they already exist; thus, the commands above would overwrite Firefox.dmg and Flash.dmg on your desktop only if they already exist by those names there. Once the packages are executed, they will overwrite applications of the same name if they already exist. Thus, if you haven’t previously installed Firefox on your computer, by definition no previous Firefox can be overwritten; but if you install a newer version of Firefox in the future, then it will overwrite any version installed in the past — but your bookmarks, plug-ins, &c. won’t be affected by the overwrite, since they’re stored in a separate area of your disk. Executing a Flash package will overwrite the version that is already installed.

  • Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7,  losing connection after sleep, restart

    Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
    Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
    =============================================
    - After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
    - Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
    Possible Fix:
    1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
    a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
    b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
    c)Go to sleep & wake up.
    d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
    2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
    a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
    b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.
    3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
    a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
    4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
    5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
    6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
    7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
    8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

    If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
    (Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
    It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.
    Chris
    I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.
