I'm connected but can't get browser, email or even FTP ????

Special thanks for the article "Sun PPPoE on Solaris" by Phil Dibowitz and "Setting Up Solaris OS to Work with Cable Modems" by Muhammad Talha (I have DSL however). Without these 2 articles I wouldn't have gotten as far as I did.
First off I'm running on an AMD CPU with Realtek 8139 PCI plug in card.
Ok here is the problem. It looks like I have connected but I can't get the browser , email or even terminal FTP to work. I think I'm at the gateway but I can't get onto the internet.
Here is how my system looks right after I boot up .
# ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
rtls0: flags=1004842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0
ether 0:50:bf:6:5a:6d
sppp0: flags=10010008d1<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST,IPv4,FIXEDMTU> mtu 1492 index 3
inet 216.8.174.237 --> 216.8.136.29 netmask ffffff00
ether 0
I'm connected right? But why 2 IP addresses (one for me and one for the gateway?)
Solaris gives me notice during BOOT that it can't configure rtls0: for DHCP but then connects somehow? later on in the auto connect script (script copied from Phils article)
Also Phil recommends running debug to generate the connect-errors file. Here it is ! You can see that I HAVE CONNECTED !

And yes I have tried everything I can think of with the DESKTOP PROXY SETTINGS. (but do I need to shutdown each time after I make a change? to the proxy?) Do I even need a proxy? My computer is plugged into a 3COM "Home Connect" HUB. I have an ALCATEL Speed Touch Home DSL modem.
Please help !

>As I understood, you have modem that is connected to the Internet and computers obtain IP from it. Am I correct?
If yes, and your line is some kind of xDSL (for example ADSL or something like that), probably that your modem is router (that kind of lines, there is no real modem with dial up, it just logs on).
I'm only using a 3COM Home Connect HUB. At one time when we had up to 4 computers on it, we were automatically re-assigned up to 4 different IP addresses each time.
>The problem with DHCP and such router is that your computer will have hostname "unknown", if you want other hostname, give it permanent IP and setup program will let you to specify IP address.
I will need to pay my service provider more for a "static IP address" What you are talking about is a "static IP" . Am I right?
>*How to know what IP you have put in default router? On your Windows computer run "ipconfig" command and see what is IP of Gateway (in Solaris it is called default router).
I got it ! Sorry about that you said try on the Windows computer. Thanks.
On my wifes computer it is 169.254.XX.XX
On mine also 169.254.XX.XX
The XX are not the same.
Thanks for all of your help.

I downloaded a new APP to my iPhone it appears on my screen but can't get it to appear on my wife's iPhone screen. Her screens were initially full of Apps, I later made room for the new APP but can't get it to appear even after making room for the new APp. It can be opened, but I want the APP to be on her iPhone screen as well as on mine. Help, please.

Is the app downloaded on her phone also?

I've updated my computer to iCloud, but can't get my email now on my iphone 4.2.1

I've updated my computer to iCloud, but now can't get my email now on my iphone 4.2.1.
I have restored my iphone twice.
Any suggestions?

I'm confused by what you're saying.
Do you mean that your computer now has iCloud on it?
and your phone is running the iOS 4.2.1?
and now you can't get iCloud on your phone?
If that's the case, you can't get iCloud on your device until you update to iOS 5. You will need to update your phone, not just restore it, through itunes

Airport connected but can't get internet....PLEASE HELP!!!

I am a college student who went to college and used an apple airport base station for my mbp and everything worked fine, and before i went to school i used my parents linksys wireless router and it all worked fine. i came home from college today and used the internet (over the linksys router) for about 5 minutes, then came back a few hours later. after i came back my computer said i was connected via airport to the linksys router but i cant load any page at all with any internet browser, also aim and msn messenger wont work. when i get on the internet i get this message "safari can’t open the page “http://www.yahoo.com/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message." i can connect if i plug my mbp in and i have tried the network diagnostics for airport several times, and it comes back saying that i am connected and it is all working fine, but its not. any help would be great. thanks.

I have the same problem...New MacBook Pro connects fine to Airport at home. Shows connected to WPA network at work but no Internet connectivity - or it takes a VERY long time to pull anything up. Have run the Network Diagnostics successfully and Mac thinks it is connected, but still not able to reach web sites.
Have followed instructions here: Article ID: 106799 Mac OS: Long Delay Before Web Pages Start to Load, Then Load Suddenly at Normal Speed without success. Can hardwire my MacBook Pro and use the network in this way.
I am a network admin and I set-up the wireless so I am familiar with the details, but am truly baffled why my Mac will not connect to the Internet.

I have a connection, but can't get any internet or email

I have two macs. The new one suddenly won't open any internet pages or email. I can't use Safari or Firefox or my mail. The old G4 cube on the same cable modem is having no problems at all. I called my ISP, and everything is fine from their end, and they can see my IP address and it matches what they have, so all should be working. On the imac, it says I have an internet connection, gives me an IP address, and claims I'm connected. But when I open Safari or Firefox or my mail, I get nothing.
Any suggestions?

I have checked the network in the system preference. The Built-In-Ethernet has a green light beside it and says "Built-In-Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address (bunch of numbers). You are connected to the Internet via Built-In-Ethernet."
When I click on "Assist me" and then "Diagnostics", The Network Diagnostics screen pops up and Scans for a while. There's five tabs on the left. Built-In-Ethernet is green, Network Settings is Green, and ISP is green. After scanning for a while, the tab by Internet goes red and says Failed below it, and the tab by Server goes red and says Failed below it. Then it asks me "Have you ever used this computer to successfully connect to the internet?" I say yes, and then it asks for the network port configuration that I would like to use. I choose Built-In-Ethernet, and it scans for a while and tells me "This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find www.apple.com. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
My neighbor has a wireless network that is unsecured. I use it all the time on my ipod touch. My imac finds it, connects to it, but I still have the same problem. No browser or mail will work.

Hi there.
Some hotel networks require some sort of authentication, or sometimes even payment to connect to the network. If you are connected to the wireless network, and the network requires this, you should be greeted with a page as every time that you attempt to connect to a wireless network, the iPad checks for this.
I would also try contacting the hotel's network troubleshooting department for help also, as they may have a different configuration than normal networks do.
Hope this helps.

Imac wi-fi, it says I have a connection but can't get any internet access

Hi All,
Help please, just got a new iPad air and trying to use the Wi-Fi function on the iMac to access internet on the iPad. Used to be able to do this on previous tablet but now iMac won't wi-fi any of my devices- including new iPad. All devices and iMac say there is a connection but when I open internet apps it tells me there is no connection. Have reset iPad, turned wi-fi on/off, turned internet sharing on/off everything! Think the problem is the iMac, can anyone suggest a solution?
Cheers

Itouch is connected but can't get email to work from Verizon account

Hi,
I have a new I-touch which is connecting fine to my wireless and will recieve and send email from an alternate email server.
But I cannot get the settings correct for my verizon.net address to work on the I-touch. It confuses me as my email address is verizon.net, but my old settings on my pc are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. Should I be trying incoming.verizon.net, or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net.
I have my user name without the @verizon.net and I have checked the password many times.
I have the port setting at 587.
It is on password authentication.
Can anyone share with me which settings are working for them???
Thanks,
Laura
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't have a iTouch, but I do have an iPhone ... the answer to your question depends on what "experience" you have when you get your mail from Verizon.   Are you using the Yahoo! portal experience perhaps?
If so, the iPhone has a Yahoo! account profile which appears to work.   You use your full @verizon.net email address as the logon userid and your email password for Verizon.
Standard POP also works ...
POP Account Information
   Name: Joe User
   Address: [email protected]
   Description: Verizon
Incoming Mail Server
   Host Name: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
   User Name: [email protected]
   Password: ******
Outgoing Mail Server
   SMTP outgoing.yahoo.version.net    ->
      Primary Server ->
         Host Name: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
         User Name: [email protected]
         Password: ******
         Use SSL: On
         Authentication: Password
         Server Port: 465

      Remove: After One Week
   Incoming Settings
      Use SSL: Off
      Authentication: Password

Some of these settings are obviously personal preference, but there should be enough here for you to piece toogether what you need to get up and running.

Palm TX can connect but can't get any web sites

Hi,
I was just able to get my Pam TX to connect to my home network, by manually entering the IP address. Now it instantly says "cannot find requested page" as soon as I enter any web address. Am I missing something?
Is there something I need to upgrade? I have a Verizon FiOS router, WEP connection...
Many thanks,
HA
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Instead of entering the name of the PC, try entering the IP address for it on your network.
I strongly suggest setting "static IP's" for both your TX and PC in your router. This will ensure better success of connection for a wifi HotSync.

HT4628 Connected but can't get online.

On my iMac, I keep getting the msg "This webpage is not available" even though I'm definitely connected through my wifi. My ipad is working fine. Any ideas? This happened overnight. Thanks people. I really want to avoid having to spend $$ on this if possible.

When you switch device connections to the cable router, you must cut the power on the cable modem (and remove the battery if there is one) for a few minutes before reconnecting it. Otherwise, the cable modem will only connect to the MAC address of the device that it was last successfully connected to.

Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to the WiFi.

Connected to the network, but can't get out to the Internet

Here’s my problem… After my previous router died, I recently installed a Netgear wireless router (WGT624NA) with 128-bit WEP security, and created a new wireless network. My Powerbook G4 found the network, and I was able to put in my WEP password, and everything seemed to work fine … for a while. In the last couple of days, I can’t get to any Internet sites.
I’m connected to the wireless network fine, with a strong signal level, and I seem to be able to Ping out. But when I try to go to (any) Internet site on Safari, I now get “Safari can’t connect to the server”. I’ve gone through the Network Setup Assistant, put in the correct WEP code, and after hitting “continue” from the “You’re now ready to try connecting… “ screen, get “Unable to establish a network connection”.
I seem to be connected, but can’t get out. Help.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi there,
A UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is a battery back up, so if you power goes out you can finish up what you're working on and shut down normally.
I had a similar incident this week, power went out all computers, modem and router went out. After power was restored all started up fine and looked good. Wireless router showed I was connected to the internet but could not surf any site. I had changed my email account password several weeks earlier (email account provided by my ISP) and did not think this had anything to do my boradband connection, but I was wrong.
To make a long story short, I had to update the password as it related to my broadband connection. The connection was there, it just did not recognize my new password because I had changed it... If you control the account and you've changed any passwords associated with account yu will have to update or your landlord will have to update... make sense?

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it
