I'm able to connect via wifi but not via ethernet

I have a iMac, Mac OS X v10.7.5, and recently had a problem connecting to internet.  I can connect via wifi, but when I try connecting via ethernet it's not working.  When I go to the preferences > network, it shows "green" / connected for ethernet but when I open up Safari or Firefox, it doesn't show a connection to the internet.

Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.

    A website will open via wifi but not via 3G. Is this a setting on the iPad?

    Probably not.  How's your 3G connection?  I ask because I've had issues when the 3G connection isn't strong.  Same with WiFi too, actually.

  • Can connect via wifi but not by ethernet cable?

    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused here.
    I have an airport express which works fine and I just bought an airport extreme.
    The airport extreme is connected to the modem by an ethernet cable and the airport express is connected by ethernet cable to the airport extreme.
    I am able to connect to the airport express wifi with all the computers but I'm unable to connect any computers to the airport extreme via ethernet cable.
    Both airport express and extreme are lit up green and they both appear on the Airport Utility.
    The airport extreme setting is set so that it is joining the airport express' network. That's the only way the light shows up green instead of flicking amber.
    I've looked at the settings over and over again and am not sure/don't understand why this is? All I know is that I've got the wifi working! The ethernet connection is not workin for both PCs and Mac.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    The airport extreme is connected to the modem by an ethernet cable
    On the WAN plug, right?
    and the airport express is connected by ethernet cable to the airport extreme.
    Why? You don't need AirPort Express anymore, unless you have signal weakness in your home.
    If that is the case, you can use the AirPort Express to extend the range of the new AirPort Extreme WiFi network with WDS (Wireless Distribution System).

  • Able to connect to wifi but not internet.

    I am able to connect to the wifi at work with my 3GS but I can't connect to the internet. There are SOME at work who are having the same problem (not all). My phone was able to browse yesterday and I've made no changes. I've tried resetting the Network settings and nothing. Password hasn't changed since yesterday.

    Stephen: The problem might be similar in your referred post, but it is not the same.
    I have a (more) similar problem, being that I CAN connect to my Airport Express (AE) via wifi, at least that is what the menubar and the "network settings" indicate, however while the phone indicates that I'm connected none of the phone's applications can access internet.
    The app "Remote" can't find my MacBook Pro either. And that is most surely connected because I'm writing this post on the MBP connected to internet via the very same AE.
    However, when I take my iPhone and MBP to my parents place (they don't have apple gear, but an old "Level One" Wi-Fi router), both internet and "Remote" works perfect.
    I had no such problems before upgrading my 3GS to iOS4. Anyone?

  • I can connect to WiFi but not the internet

    I am trying to connect a new IPad 2.  I have a Belkin router that is B+G+N.  I use WPA2 encryption and MAC filtering.  The IPAD's MAC address was entered into the router and when I provide the encryption key as the password I am able to connect to WiFi but not anything Internet related except for email.  When I type any URL in Safari it takes me to my router's management page.  In fact I can log into my router and manage it from my IPad but I can't connect to anything else.  I have 8 other computers/devices that connect to the router fine including two Apple Ipod touch's.  This has me baffled.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and am in Nepal. My phone was previously able to connect to wifi, but now is unable. I have an iPad and that is able to connect just fine. This problem is with every wifi hotspot I have tried so it is the phone not the modem.

  • My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet

    My computer will connect to wifi but not the Internet. It's not a problem with my router because I've tried other devices on the same router and they work. I have also tried my computer on other routers and there is still no Internet connection. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello Bmowat,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are able to successfully connect to your Wifi network, but cannot get internet access.
    I found this article for you named Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
    This section in particular since you have Mountain Lion installed:
    OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
    Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.
    It is a built in troubleshooting tool to help diagnose and repair network issues and should help you resolve this issue.

  • When i try to connect my iPhone 4S into iTunes through wifi or USB it will not connect the other thing  is when i hook up my iPad into iTunes it will connect through wifi but not USB? Now is this a issue with my iPad and iPhone or is this iTunes?

    When i bought my iPhone and my iPad they both were on iOS 7.0.2 i updated them shortly after thinking the new iOS 7.0.4 was better. i see its not but they both worked great with iTunes before and after the update. My question is why is my iPhone not connecting to iTunes? it will not connect through USB or wifi and i know that the setting to do that is turned on. my iPad connects through iTunes through wifi but not USB. This isnt making any sense but i wanna know is this a iTunes issue? or is it my phone and iPad??

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

  • My mac mini will connect via airport but not via ethernet.

    I have had a mac mini for several months which I connect via ethernet because it is in a part of my house where the wireless signal is poor. I changed ISP and now I can connect to the router wirelessly but not via ethernet. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the network as the connection works when I connect it to my mac book. Firewall is turned off. There were no major changes to the router settings other than changing the ISP login codes.
    Any ideas? Is this a configuration issue or a hardware problem?

    Hi Mick,
    If your router only supports 10/100 ethernet then it is possible that the auto-detect feature is not working properly to adjust to that speed. The mini has a Gigabit ethernet port. The OS by default sets the port to automatically negotiate the rate but it does not always work and the result is the problem you are having.
    To fix it you wlll have to manually set the rate to 100.
    To do this, open your system preferences, Select Network. Highlight the ethernet port on the sidebar, click the advanced button. Click on the Ethernet Tab, set the configure pop-up menu item to 100baseTX and click the ok button. If all works out you should see that the Ethernet port icon should turn green.
    Hope this helps.

    At first my Apple TV was stuck so I unplugged it and re plugged it so everything disappeared all my apps everything then when I tried hooking up to my Internet it said connected to wifi but cannot connect to the Internet so I'm not sure what that means or how to fix it

  • Other PC can access internet via cable but not via wireless.

    Hi, I am new here. But I have a question hopefully someone can help to answer. I juts got myself signed up for one of those portable USB modem that you can use anywhere and you use a phone sim card to access the internet. I connect the usb device to my desktop computer and use a linksys wireless router to connect to other pc in the house. My problem is that the internet can be access by other pc's if I connect the other pc's via a network cable but no internet all if I connect via wireless. Any reason why it work via cable and not via WIFI? Is it the setting inside the router that is not set correctly. I pretty much left the setting on factory default except for the wireless network name. Any help to explain why this is happening is much appreciated. Thanks. Alex

    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device: - Open

    the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' to select the
    extracted/uncompressed .img or .bin file and click on "Upgrade"-Wait for few seconds ....
    It shows that "Upgrade successful"  After
    the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back
    to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Reset the router for few seconds ....
    Reconfigure it ....

  • Able to connect via airport but not via ethernet since fresh install

    New format and reinstall of OS X. Software update to 10.4.5. Now I need to use ethernet and I get an error. I did NOT have ethernet attached when doing the install.
    This used to work before the reinstall. I have tried different cables and different ports attached to the D-Link router (I use DSL).
    Other computers on the net (iMac G5 via ethernet and Windows via Wireless) have no problems.
    I have tried the network assistant, renewing DHCP lease (which does not work), manual config, ifconfig up and down and even tried to reapply the 10.4.5 update but to no avail. I have even rebooted (Ugh) several times.

    What now? - I really don't feel like reinstalling with en0 connected just to fix this
    Thanks for any advice

    I would attempt to find a Windows machine to set it up as Samsung's Mac software is abysmal.
    However I have found this step by step on an Amazon review, I don't know if it will work:
    1. Setup the physical printer machine according to manual. Then connect it your Macbook via USB. Make sure the printer is powered on and verify the Macbook is powered on with wireless network Access.
    2. Insert the supplied software CD and double click on the CD from your desktop.
    3. Double click and execute to Mac_installer folder >Installer OS X icon.
    4. Complete the license agreement and installation steps.
    5. This will be a standard install without the wireless option. This is your only option. You will not be given a chance to do the wireless installation like in the Windows version install.
    6. Enter in the admin password to install the software.
    7. Once the software confirmation screen pops up to confirm your installation was successful, proceed to DISconnect your USB connection to you Samsung Printer.
    8. In case you missed it, Disconnect the USB connection between your Samsung printer and Macbook.
    9. Navigate to Applications > Utilities >Print Setup Utility  (For Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.7) Navigate to Applications > System preferences > Print & Fax.
    10. Click Add on the printer list (For Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.7, click the PLUS sign) and new display will pop up.
    11. On the "Default" Tab of the pop up display, select or highlight the Samsung printer. In the printer name column, it should be listed as "Samsung ML-2160 Series (NNNN)", then in the Kind column, It should be listed as "Bonjour"
    Note: DO NOT select the Samsung Printer with the "USB" in the Kind column. This Samsung printer - USB option should only be selected if you intend to print from USB.
    12.  Click ADD, then select continue to create the print queue.
    13.  Now open up any word document with text and print a test page.

  • My iphone will connect to itunes via wifi but not throught the cable

    A month ago i noticed that when i plugged my phone into the computer it made the little dings but it wasnt charging. i looked at itunes and it wasnt on there either. i went through and updated my phone with my computer so it would recognize it again, hoping that it would fix all problems. Instead it just fixed the charging. Id plug it in and it would charge but not sync to itunes.
    Prior to it not working, i had set it up to where it could sync through wifi. That is the only way i can sync my phone. I've Uninstalled itunes and the reinstalled it and it didn't make a difference. does ANYBODY have any clue as to what to do? I have Windows 8.1 and an iPhone 5s.

    Hello, juliag1212. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.  Be sure to test connecting the device to the computer with another sync cable if available.
