Internet (Airport and Ethernet) not working in Mac OS X. Works in Parallels

I don't know why but this started happening all of the sudden. I have tried uninstalling Parallels and other things but I can't fix it. I can access my router, and it assigns me an IP, but no internet in mac.

I just needed to reset the PRAM, sorry.

  • Airport and ethernet not working other computers are

    I have a Mac Mini that I use daily. Today when I tried to get onto the internet the bars for airport in the menu bar were gone and a caution exclamation point was there. I restarted and that did not help. I then plugged in an ethnet cable and refigured the mini for ethernet. that did not work. I know the modem and router are working just fine and so is the ethernet since I have other computers on my home network and they all connect ok. Is the airport and ethernet card connected in that if one goes out so does the other?  The mini is 2-1/2 years old. I have a Wii and a satellite box on the same shelf as the mini and they both connect to the internet just fine. is my mini toast?

    In system preferences- network do you have show airport  status in menu bar checked. To the left in network does airport show up. at the top in nework is it on.

  • Internet via airport AND ethernet dropping?

    I have a new uMBP 13". When I connect to my home network it is the only computer on the network that will drop it's signal every 10 minutes at least. It searches for the network and reconnects a few seconds later but I have to manually search for the network and select.
    I tried it with just the ethernet cable and airport turned off and the same thing happens.
    I have an iMac connected wirelessly to the Netgear G router also running snow leopard which works fine.
    I know there are discussions about airport dropping but this is airport and ethernet so where do I start with solving the problem?
    Thanks

    Hello William.
    I've had similar problems, as described above. I have called AppleCare; I have found other threads on the forum(s) dealing with AirPort dropping connections; I have found much discussion of the subject on the web. There is a problem, and there appears to be no solution. Here is my related situation.
    I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard; an oldish Netgear wireless router; and my wife is connected to this little LAN with my old iBook running Leopard. That machine, with Leopard, never loses a connection whereas my Macbook Pro with SL loses the Airport connection approximately every 24 hours. After talking with the ISP and Netgear I solved that problem initially by rebooting the router. Now, I find, I have only to turn AirPort off and then on again and the connection is reestablished.
    Meanwhile, I tried switching over to ethernet. I turned Airport off, and ethernet on, with an automatically assigned DNS address. Again, to my amazement, the connection (with the internet) was dropped, again, about every 24 hours--long about 9:30 in the evening, for me. To reconnect ethernet to the web I only had to click "renew DHCP address" under the Advance tab in the network panel. I.e., the behavior was analogous to what I went thru with Airport.
    I have to think that 1) since this doesn't happen to my wife's machine on the same network running Leopard, and since 2) the same thing happens whether I'm using AirPort or Ethernet to connect to the web, that this is something systemic in SL's networking innards.
    I went over all of the router's connections and settings (no timing out issue), and I upgraded its firmware successfully. I've done all the usual troubleshooting gimmicks, and, of course, I've discussed this with AppleCare. They haven't the foggiest. Since the problem only recurs in a longish circadian cycle it's not something that can be dealt with over the phone.
    I have to believe there's something wrong with the networking software in Snow Leopard. And, for what it's worth, if you do a search for this on Google there is a great deal of similar discussion.
    Now my solution is simply to use Airport and to turn the program on and off via the menu bar. Unfortunately it raises cain with syncing--"Mingler" and iCal and iCal's system syncing software run away with the CPU. But that's another thread!
    All the best,
    Alarik

    There are no Mac viruses, only malware that requires your assistance to get installed.  For more on this, see:
    http://www.reedcorner.net/guides/macvirus
    As to your problem, we can't say what might have happened without more information.  Try restarting your computer, and if that doesn't help, we need to know what you saw and what's happening now in greater detail.

  • Using Airport And Ethernet Together

    Having read Christopher Breen's solution to using Airport and Ethernet together,
    http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/mac911/2006/10/airportswitch/index.php
    I am still wondering if this can apply to my situation. I have an Airport Exteme BS distributing the wireless signal on it's own node. Nothing is physically connected to the BS except an ethernet cable running to a hub which is connected to the cable modem. While my ISP service isn't supplying service faster than Airport will manage, no problem...but, I would like to have the advantage ethernet networking between my machines for all the advantages that ethernet speed can bring to that situation.
    My connection to the internet is from WAN from the cable modem. I have an ethernet connection from the BS that I can run a cable back to say, an iBook. Will this work? I want wireless internet, but ethernet for machine to machine networking.

    Helpful response, but I am uncertain this is what I am after. First, the hub is at the other end of the house, inconvenient to run a cable to it in this way. Presently, "Distribute IP Addresses" is turned off. This is way it had to be set since the AEBS is on a separate node. I just wonder why I can't run a cable from the AEBS LAN port back to the iBook. Looking for best possible speed when networking from my studio G4 while keeping the wireless internet setting.
    Any reason making the config the way I am imagining will not work?

    I am having trouble setting up my time capsule.  the amber light is flashing.  i have a Verizon FIOS network that i use for the internet (WiFi) and do not want to configure the Time Capsule to do that function.  I just want the Time Capsule to back up.

    Simple.. bridge the TC.. in the apple utility in the NAT and DHCP area.
    Plug it into the FIOS router.. you can turn off wireless in the TC if you want.. or use it.. it can work faster if you are nearby and can select 5ghz.. but up to you.

  • I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.  I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse.  Any solutions?

    I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.   I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I upgraded to Safari 5.1 and now the problem is worse.  Any solutions?

    I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
    Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
    If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
    Amazing!
    In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
    You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
    But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
    And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
    The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
    I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
    I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
    My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
    Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
    May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

    More than likely, they can. So long as you're in the same country you live in.

  • Airport and ethernet at same time

    I've got a feeling this is one of those obvious questions which has an obvious answer. I noticed in the network pane of the preferences lists out every type of adapter available to me to connect to a network. I always leave my airport on even when I'm connected to a network with an ethernet cable. So my question is this, if my airport and ethernet are connected to different networks (in my office they're kept separate), which takes priority? Should I turn off one adapter? Just a curious mind.

    Whichever network port is above the other in the list of available ports in the network preferences panel this will have priority.

  • Printer/Internet sharing over ethernet not working

    Due to unsolvable problems with Airport and 10.5.2, I've decided to set up an ethernet network between my Mac Pro and MacBook. I have an ethernet cable going from the ethernet 2 port on my MP to the MacBook. I am able to establish a file sharing connection, so I know that the cable is working.
    However, I cannot get printer sharing or Internet sharing to work.
    I have enabled printer sharing in Print & Fax preferences, and selected the USB printers I want to share. But when I go to Print & Fax preferences on my MacBook, although I do see my printer when I attempt to add it the preferred driver does not show up and it selects "generic postscript" instead. This is completely strange, because when I go through the same process when the MacBook is connected to my Airport network (when it isn't dropped out), I am able to add the printer with the correct driver without a problem.
    As far as Internet sharing goes, there's nothing happening at all. On the MacBook when I open Network preferences it says "Built-in ethernet isn't connected". I don't know what I'm supposed to do to get this going. I already have enabled Internet Sharing on the Mac Pro ("share built-in ethernet 1 connection with computers connected to ethernet 2"), but I don't know what to do beyond that.
    Do I need a switch?

    sure, there are workarounds. I was trying not to spend any money!
    Mostly I am curious what caused it to stop working.
    Thanks for the input!!
