Installed Airport - getting "not connected to internet" error

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and Airport extreme. I installed the Airport using MacBook (Snow Leopard) then hooked up my desktop iMac (OS X (10.4.11) - as per Tech Support recommendations. Everything works but here is a problem I encounter. When I wake the iMac and pull up Safari or Firefox I'm getting an error message of "not connected to internet" and the diagnostic box appears. I can hit "refresh" and the web site comes right up. Anyone have any ideas as to why this occurs?

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.

  • "Not connected to Internet" error message

    Hi Guys,
    Safari keeps throwing me "you are not connected to the internet" error messages. I'm running 10.5.1 and I chose the "upgrade" option.
    The errors are displayed randomly on sites and if I get the error upon visiting a site, I usually have to wait about a half hour before i reload the site and it works normally. This is happening to approximately 20% of the sites I visit. I can view the same exact site in Firefox, but I also get the same error in Mail, Aperture (flickr export) and twitterific.
    If a site (like Flickr) pulls resources from multiple urls, even though the initial site loads, the resources may not. For instance, loading Flickr, the page may load, but since the images are on a separate server (or multiple separate servers), the images may not load or may load randomly.
    I tested failing urls in Network Utility > Traceroute and urls that throw the error message get an "unknown host" message. I assume this bug has to do with Mac OS X as opposed to my ISP. and that web kit is probably the culprit, as I'm having this problem on apps that use web kit to access the internet (firefox does not).
    This error is also happening on my powerbook G4 that was upgraded to 10.5 as well.
    anyone else having this error? i don't seem to see anything in the forums.

    I am having this IDENTICAL problem. My ISP is Cox Communications and at first I thought the problem was DNS related. It certainly appears to be, but I went and dusted off my old Windows laptop and internet access works very well, fast and snappy. Since upgrading to Leopard on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro (oh yes, I was stupid to upgrade both at the same time) I have been so frustrated with this problem. Safari will tell me I'm "Not connected to Internet" while Firefox will happily load the same page. Mail will tell me it can't connect to the smtp server while tcpdump shows it not even trying. A half hour later it starts to work temporarily. I have tried using different DNS servers but it doesn't make a difference. The problem is definitely Apple Safari/Mail. Boo!
    Please someone at Apple fix this problem quickly. This is extremely frustrating.

  • Airport express not connecting to internet

    I am switching from Clear to Comcast hopefully for faster, more reliable service.
    Connected the Comcast modem directly to my Mac Mini, activated...voila on the internet.
    Plug in Airport Express so that the Mini and my MBpro can share internet and a printer.
    AE powers up,gives the green light, but no internet service.
    System preferences>network states that WiFi has a self-assigned IP address of 169.254.xx.xx
    that will not connect to internet.
    With each reset the number changes slightly but still no internet.  I tried a manual number or 192.168.xx.xx
    and WiFi connects but still no internet. 
    1-1/2 hours with Comcast provided no help other than to call Apple.  Is this really that difficult? 
    With Clear it was a snap, but I am at the edge of the coverage zone and it sometimes fades.
    Please guide me through the steps.
    Thanks,
    JM

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Airport Extreme not connecting to Internet

    Here's my setup:
    imac with Airport Extreme in home office
    Airport Express hooked up to home ethernet network in family room to stream itunes (or connect laptop at other end of house)
    Just got home and tried connecting my work powerbook to the Airport Extreme network, and suddenly it does not work. Basically times out after trying to connect to internet, even though i get full bars signal-wise, and network diagnostic says i should be connected. I can connect to the Airport Express network in the family room just fine. And my internet connection is working fine over the ethernet network.
    Has my Airport Extreme bitten the dust? It's showing full bars, but my Canon i960 stopped printing from it the other day. I thought that was just a problem with the printer, but maybe the problem is my base station?
    ps running all the lastest software...
    Any suggestions? (Tried restarting cable modem, Airport Extreme, computer, etc. No go.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hmmm... That's odd that you can't administer the Airport Base Station
    from the portable computer (the one you'd later use wirelessly) and
    essentially check the thing out thoroughly; see if the firmware and
    other things are up to par and the settings are chosen properly.
    You'd use the ethernet cable in either case, to access the Base from
    the portable or the tower; when you are doing an occasional test and
    reset of the Base station. Sometimes, details make a difference.
    Another factor may be in how you have the Base station set up to
    share internet among computers; the ethernet-only G4 that sees
    the through-ported IP dataflow should also be able to administer
    the base station. But it may require the Portable, hardwired, to
    check the settings and get it to work. I had a similar issue once
    with my primary AEBS and had been administering it via a non-
    wi-fi B&W G3 tower on ethernet cable; the other computers were
    all wi-fi. That worked out great. Currently, I alternately run the iMac
    G4 via wireless, and sometimes by wire. I have both set up & ready
    and only need to go into the control panel/system preferences; to
    make a change. Sometimes the wireless telephone (2.4GHz) is too
    close and kills the wireless to my desktop Mac; so I change to wire.
    What kinds of addresses are you seeing in your set-up for IP
    to each computer? Unless you do actual file-sharing between
    them, you can set that up so each computer has a full ISP
    address; not those 10.0... or 193.00. or other networking ones.
    Sharing a printer is another matter, if you run your AEBS as
    though it were a wireless router only, it would be trial & error;
    if set up to be wireless printing you'd probably need to get a
    wireless USB module to see if that'd work for the G4.
    The deal you are talking about, above, is how the device
    works. Your G4 tower sees the internet via the through-port
    in the AEBS router; it is a wired & wireless router, plus it
    can give you wireless printing because it has a USB port.
    But only when it is set up correctly. That is easier to do
    than it is to write about. When mine fails, I look into it;
    and as I suggested in other posts, it will just work later.
    PS: In your Portable computer's System Preferences/
    Network control pane, see what order it shows the
    items or pathways available to connect to the net are
    in; if the wireless airport isn't at the top of the list &
    is not activated, drag it there. The check-boxes by
    each option of course, need to be activated as needed.
    When you see a signal, it should be able to find the IP
    if the other settings were correct. Sometimes, the basic
    defaults work OK right out of the box.
    In the portable's System Profiler, you could also see if
    there is an assigned IP address given to the computer.
    At that point, there should be no reason for it to not work.
    Like I said, it is harder to write or talk about it; easier to
    see the things and work the strings in the right order!

  • "Not Connected to Internet" Error on 3G/Edge/Wifi

    I've dug a dozen or so pages deep into the forum here and couldn't find any help on this.
    Currently my phone is unable to make any data transfer. This started happening randomly with no real change to my software or network connection at home. My phone tells me I'm connected to my home wifi network, and that I have full reception. Yet when I go to Safari to load a page (or try to send/receive e-mail, or use any other app that requires a data connection), I get a "not connected to the internet" error.
    If I disable wifi on the phone and try to use the 3G connection, the exact same thing happens. I've reset my network connections through the Settings app, I've toggled Airplane mode on and off all day long, I've reset the Sim card, I've restored my firmware, I've done a hard reset. I've done all the usual tips and tricks. All to no avail.
    I'm using an iPhone 3GS, on the 3.0.1 firmware. I can still send a receive phone calls, and text messages. But any kind of data transfer is a total no-go.
    This is the 2nd time I've had this problem. The first time lasted for many days, and after about the third firmware restore things started to work normally again. Now that I'm running into this problem again, I'm wondering if it's an actual, physical hardware problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I'd take it back to Apple. It sounds like it could be hardware, and I believe others have had similar issues. Get them to check it out instead of driving yourself crazy.

  • "Not connected to internet" error only when uploading large files.

    Hi,
    I have a strange problem that occurs when im uploading large files to any of my servers....
    The files upload just fine but while im uploading im unable to use the internet for anything else. For example if I try to open a web page I get an error saying im not connected to the internet. This error will persist until the file finishes uploading.
    Its a strange and annoying problem and was wondering if anybody could throw any light on the problem.
    I cant be sure but it may have coincided with me connecting a new Netgear wireless modem router.
    Many thanks
    Matt

    Hi Sorry, only just noticed your reply. Didn't get an email alert like I usually do.
    Thanks for that. To be honest I have no idea what QOS is but I will take a look at the routers settings to see if it makes sense to me.
    Thanks

    Here are some things to try. Try to connect after each step before you move on to the next one.
    Reboot your router - unplug from power and wait 20 seconds and plug back in again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Settings>WiFi>Off. Then turn on again.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to select your network and enter your password.
    Settings>WiFi>Name of Your Network>Tap Blue Arrow>Forget this Network. You will have to select your network and enter your password.

  • AirPort Extreme Not Connected to Internet

    I have been trying all day to connect a new AirPort Extreme base station. The base station appears to be configured correctly, in that the green indicator light burns solid. But I can't connect to the Comcast Internet: I get an error message that the Ethernet cable is unplugged (it isn't). I've powered down, reset, and restarted the cable modem; and have disconnected and reconnected the power supply to the base station numerous times, but still no Internet. When I reattach the Ethernet cable directly to the Mac everything is fine. I can't tell whether or not the base station is pulling the IP address, etc., from Comcast. Anyway, I'm getting nowhere with this, and would greatly appreciate input from this discussion group. Thanks very much.

    Hello driverdude. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Although I know you tried multiple resets, please try the following to see if this will get you Internet connectivity with your Comcast modem ...
    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, or until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, AEBSn, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • After install Win7, could not connect to Internet

    The system could not recognize the network adapter, facetime HD, There is no sound either.
    could anyone suggest where to download the related drivers? Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    the BootCamp Drivers are on your OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD.
    Insert that disc while in Windows 7 to install the drivers.
    After that, if needed, you can update the drivers to versions 3.1 or 3.2 depending on what version is on your OSX disc.
