Internet connection drops after 1 minute

Using iPhone 4, version 4.3.3 - I have been using wi-fi connectivity without issue for several months at home and other public locations. Currently having issues at new work location with keeping a persistent internet connection using company wi-fi. After device wakes up, I'm able to browse the internet without problems for 1-2 minutes, then when loading a page, will get the error that Safari can't open the page because no internet connection is available. I still have connectivity to the wi-fi network, and can get email from company Exchange server, but can't get access to anything past the company network. I don't understand why it will work for a couple of minutes and then lose internet connection.
Any ideas?

Hello and thank you for the response. The only way I can get these iMacs to stay connected to the internet is via Static IP. The previous post states that static doesn't work but I didn't fill out all the fields correctly, like DNS and search domain.
Both Ethernet and Wi-Fi pick up an IP address via DHCP and after a few minutes the IP is dropped then a self-assigned 169 address appear. With Static IP, we're good to go.
I've tried DHCP with manual address.
Editied the location on network preferences.
I've disabled "use passive FTP mode"
I connected Windows machines to the same network port as these iMacs and there are no issues.
OSX 10.7
Thanks again,

My internet connection drops after a few hours

Is a setting off. My airport extreme loses connection after a feww hours. Constantly have to reboot and reconnect. Stays connected fine when direct to mac?

VPN connection drops after 1 minute or less

Hi All,
not sure if this is a server-side or client-side issue. Trying to establish a VPN connection from an MBP to my Mac Mini server (L2TP over IPSec, Shared Secret w/ Password authentication) I manage to connect, authenticate and establish a connection. However, after about 45-60 seconds I see no more traffic (from the remote LAN) coming through to the MBP. The status indicator still shows that the tunnel is up but I just don't get any further response from the server. I can still get to the web, however, the traceroute seems to indicate that this traffic is flowing outside the VPN tunnel (whether the "Send all traffic over VPN connection" option on the MBP is selected or not).
I've tried this with all combinations of 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 to no avail. It is possible to keep the tunnel alive just a little longer if I keep a ping to the server going on the MBP, but this eventually gets lost as well.
I've determined that there are some changes in the routing tables on the MBP whilst this is going on:

The MBP is connected via WiFi to a router which gives it 10.149.18.96. The remote network is on 192.168.1.0/24. The VPN server (as well as the DNS and DHCP server) are on machine 192.168.1.180 (the Mac Mini).
Neither the MBP nor the server logs really contain anything useful which would indicate why this is failing.
It looks as though this issue has been there for quite a long time in some form:
- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1208715
- http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10958263
- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2462874
This is incredibly frustrating and I cannot understand while Apple has not done anything about this. Is there anyone here that is having the same problem and has possibly made some headway on this? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!
Thanks.
Mark

First guess would be a faulty Openreach VDSL modem (the white box).
Call 0800 111 4567, explain the problem. Be polite but firm and insist on an engineer visit. The engineer will test the line and probably replace the modem.

Internet Connection drops when incoming telephone ...

On 14th December 2011 during a period of very high winds and heavy rain an incoming telephone call caused the internet connection to drop and it eventually restored itself after about 2 hours. When I answer a call the internet connection drops after about 30 seconds and then reconnects after about a further 40 seconds. All incoming local calls cause the internet connection to drop. As far as I can tell incoming calls from other exchanges seem to be OK. Incoming calls from mobile phones sometimes cause the internet connection to drop. The line is unaffected by outgoing telephone calls. I have a BT HomeHub 2B plugged into an upstairs telephone socket and connected by ethernet to my PC. I have another telephone socket downstairs, each socket is fitted with a filter. I have have tried every combination of my two standard telephones and 4 filters in each socket and every local call causes the internet connection to drop and reconnect. I think it very unlikely that both phones and 4 filters have become faulty at the exactly the same time. I have connected the Home Hub and telephone with a filter to the test socket and asked a friend on the local exchange to call me and the internet connection dropped and reconnected as before. Since moving to this house 2 years ago I have had four previous interruptions to the broadband service all of which were caused by problems probably at the exchange. The last one took 8 days to correct after countless calls to the "Help Line". Their fall back position is always to assume that there is no problem with the BT line. So I am not even going to try to explain this over the telephone. This is the information on the BT Home Hub Event Log, it is typical for every occurrence of the problem. Dec 26 11:42:42 2011 ERR 2011-12-26T11:42:42Z cwmp: mt_cwmp: session error: Could not resolve host Dec 26 11:43:19 2011 (1035438.010000) RTNL: Received ERROR reply 'No such process' for message type 0x19 Is this a problem with the Homehub, the line, or at the exchange?

not sure I read your post correctly but are you saying if someone from another exchange phones then the broadband is ok and it only drops if someone from your own exchange phones?
if the possible sollution from chris6273 does not work, and you have already tried the test socket then I would contact the mods for assistance http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

Wired Internet connection drops since 10.5.7

Since installing the 10.5.7 update I've had trouble with my Internet connection dropping while I'm using it. I have a wired connection and have checked the cables and the router port and there doesn't seem to be a physical problem. I'll be browsing the Internet and without warning it will suddenly stop working. A minute or two later it will have recovered. This happens every few minutes and it's very aggravating.
I do not use a wireless connection and have turned off Airport.
When the connection drops, I am unable to ping the router. If I run ifconfig I see it has a 169.254.x.x address. Once the system recovers, I can once again ping the router and the IP number is what the router assigns.
I ran cat /var/log/system.log and here is an excerpt:

I don't know if the problem is related to an incompatibility with VMware Fusion or not. I have both Windows and Linux virtual machines on this Mac. I'm not actively using VMware when I have the connectivity problem.

I posted this on an other topic last night
Hi,
New to this forum. Landed here because of airport issues after 10.5.7. update.
Airport could not connect to my network, but it detected other networks.
I tried some steps suggested in this thread but it didn't work. Then I looked into my router and disabled the "hide accespoint" option. That worked. Airport connected immidiatly. I restarted and still had connection. I then enabled the "hide accespoint" option, restarted, had to log in manualy ("connect to other network"), gave my networkname and password and until now everything works okay.
Maybe the 10.5.7. update chanched something in the airport//router setting/visability.
Giel.

My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues. Phone and TV continue to work.
Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router. When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned. I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me. I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it". Whatever...
Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy. I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator. Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address. But I can't get out past the router at all. On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router. We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point. After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself. Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
So what is the issue here? Is MOCA a mess? Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better? I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen. When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding. Nice... And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

I would try using a non-verizon router. I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem. The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

My internet connection drops

hello there!
ive been having this problem for a little over 3 weeks now. i have an ethernet dsl type internet connection with a cable and not wifi. ive NEVER had this problem with my ibook on this same internet cable but ive had my imac intel core2duo for about 3 months now and 3 weeks ago the internet connection would drop every now and again, like 5times a week and i noticed the only way to get the connection up again is to restart the compter. once i do that, the internet is back! so weird! however, the connect just dropped twice in the last 40 mins and ive restarted my computer twice to get connection back. why is this and how can i fix this problem?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

users that have internet connection drops, slow speeds and intermittent connections while wireless, then your problem might be slightly different then other users in this thread.
for Wireless intermittent and slow, you should try changing the wireless signal. you can do that in the router.   open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1, user name is admin. and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it.
Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security.   then go to option 3 which is channel
1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply.,
after you hit apply, test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6,     test it out. and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File. It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

Internet connection drops with new HH4....

I recently signed up to a new deal with BT and had to pay for my HH4. I have it all connected up the exact same way as my HH3. I am receiving a faster connection now but am now getting VERY frequent internet connection drops....
My PC is wired to the HH so NOT a wireless issue. I have checked ALL my microfilters and seem to be working. Nothing within my home has changed apart from the homehub. I used to be connectiong at around 6.5Mb, I am now connecting between 7.5 and 8Mb....
9 times out of 10 the connection drops when I receive an incoming call.... but not always. I can make outgoing calls with ZERO issues....

I forgot to state also that I since removed the HH4 and put my old trusty HH3 back into use......... it does the EXACT same thing now.........
BT engineer was out to fix the line in February of this year. A new main box was fitted (which I was billed for) and he also fitted an iplate to the box to allow the hub to be connected without the need for a filter since they are built in.......
an Iplate will not do away with any filters and they will be required on all sockets - unless you mean a filtered faceplate not iplate - 2 sockets 1 adls and 1 phone

Wireless Connection drops after a few moments

Hello everbody!
Background: I have a cheap laptop with a windows only ACPI module, so I have to set acpi=off at all times anyway. I tried Ubuntu, which has the wireless problem too, but instead of repairing something bloated like Ubuntu, I now found my way to Arch to make it right from the beginning.
If the wireless problem gets solved, I want to go on installing the nvdia driver, maybe configure xmonad. (I want to try KDE4 for fun too though, eyecandy you know ) Simple working desktop without getting my laptop heated up like windows does.
The problem: I set up my wireless connection like the wiki says:
-The original SSID was "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 Annex A" which I tried to escape with \ and using 'ssid'. This wouldn't work at all, if you have any explanation for that I'd love to know it. I changed the SSID to something without spaces and special characters and the connection would work. But it would be nice to change it back to the original.
-So it works now. Fine, I thought. But the connection drops after a few moments and I have to "killall wpa_supplicant dhcpcd" and start them again to make it work again. For a few moments only. So I went through the logfiles and found error messages which Google wouldn't help me solve on my own. Now I'm asking the Arch specialists here
Note: Using the partedmagic livecd, the wireless connection works out of the box and absolutely stable. I believe even a bit faster than under windows. So it has to work perfectly, I just don't know how to make it in Arch yet.

because the wiki says the driver is in the kernel, I also looked at the kernel log which has weird errors:

Thanks in advance to anyone helping me! I really really want to get Arch going. It's ideal for this laptop, no wasting of disk space, ressource friendly, the temperature doesn't go up as much with less cpu usage I guess..
I've written quite a bit, but hopefully this makes it easier for you to help me! I've included all I thought which could be useful.
Greetings from Germany,

The easiest solution might be to setup NetCfg somehow with your wifi card and access point. Have you tried that? Can you find your card's chipset on the wiki?(chances are that your particular chipset will need a firmware put into /lib/firmware. Again that's found on the wiki on the NetCfg or Wifi page, I forget which sorry.) Those are two places where I'd look for good information.
By the way, your rc.conf is way out of date. You should look at updating it by using the recent rc.conf.pacnew file that you'll find in the /etc directory.

Did you try upgrading them to the latest (1 week ago released) firmware update 1.1.0.4?

I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
Best of luck.

Not sure what Cisco is but if you are having problems with your wifi this link might help
On the iPad... tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset NetworkSettings.

Internet Connection Drops PLEASE HELP!!

Installed Bootcamp in XP Pro, found that the internet connection drops all the time, need to manually unplug the modem and the airport to reconnect. I'm using a wired connection, not wireless.
thanks
any help is greatly appreciated

yes i have done that.
In OS X, the wireless connection works, but the wired connection doesn't. In WIN XP , both don't work even though it says its connected. If i reset the router (Airport Extreme), I can get the wired connection to work for a short while, then it stops working and if there are any other computers plugged into the router, they wouldn't work either. I will have to unplug all the connections and reset the router to make it work again. However, if i don't plug the iMac into the router, and use my other computer (like i am now) then its fine.
so in brief,
- if i use iMac with bootcamp, internet doesn't work
- if i use iMac with or without bootcamp with another computer plugged into router, both won't work
- if iMac is not plugged into router, and use another computer instead, internet works

Frequent Internet Connection Drops

I am a loyal Linksys user. Have used linksys routers for 3 years with no issues. Have recently experienced internet connection drops from my wireless computers, while the computers which are wired, access the internet without problems. I have 2 Lan connections (1 is a computer directly to router, the other is a Slingbox and Tivo box connected through a Slinglink Powerline Bridge). Wirelessly, I have 3 laptops and a Tivo box connected.
The problem began with my WRT54G v1.1 and now is occurring with the replacement WRT54G v6. The problem seems to be occurring with a conflict with the Slinglink. If I disconnect the Slinklink from the router and wirelessly repair the connections on the computers, access is restored without any reboots of router, modem or computers. Once access achieved, I can reconnect the Slinglink until the next drop.
More information can be provided as I have been monitoring this for 3 months. The problem is with the router and not the computers, Tivo, DSL modem or internet provider. The only common issues appears to be with the Slinglink or it's connections.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Warren

hi....have u by any chance assigned a static IP address to the slingbox ??? in case u have , ensure that u have assigned a static IP outside the DHCP pool of the router ( default DHCP pools of the router starts at 192.168.1.100 and ends at 192.168.1.149) ....In case u have not assigned a static IP address to the slingbox , i suggest that u do so...input the following details ofr your slinkbox network configuration....
ip address - 192.168.1.25
subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
gateway/router - 192.168.1.1
DNS 4.2.2.2....
