Internet connection problem- IP address from router, but will not connect

My Powerbook will connect to an open wireless network where I am and is assigned an appropriate IP address, but neither Mail nor Safari will connect properly. I know the system is working, because other people with wireless laptops can connect fine. I tried quitting everything and rebooting a number of times but no joy. I can't see anything in the settings that I can play with that will make a difference, but I can't understand why it won't connect.Very frustrating. Network diagnostics can't help either. I don't have access to the modem/router to reset it...

I'm having the same problem. I'm traveling and I was able to connect to the wireless network on my G4 Powerbook at the hotel this morning. Now I'm in a different location and I have a strong open wifi signal, but no internet connection. I can add that I also brought my iBook and it works fine on this network. Both worked just fine on this network back in October. I've tried in no particular order: rebooting (4x), Network Diagnostics in Safari ("N.D. cannot fix the current networking problems...make sure you are using the correct network settings"), creating a new user, comparing Network settings between the two Macs (the only difference is the last 3 digits of the IP assigned using DHCP), deleting preferences (airport, internetconnect, & networkConfig.plists, NetworkInterfaces & SystemConfiguration.plists), turning Airport off then back on, and setting up the iBook to share its internet connection. Internet Connect says that I'm connected to the network and have a full signal. Any other ideas?

I have a HP wireless printer, and im trying to connected to my macbook pro. But will not connect..

Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
(If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..

TS1398 My ipad will not connect to other wifi networks. It has connected to my main home network but will not connect to the booster network in my home (it has previously!) It will also not connect to other networks outside my home.

Hi
I just got new router and had to reset my network settings on IPad. Since then, my ipad will connect onto the main home network but will not attach to my extension booster (netgear) which is linked to the home network. It will also not attach to networks outside my home that it has previously worked with. i have reset the settings again, powered off and on again, updated to the latest IOS update, but nothing is working. Please help, as I can only use wifi in a few rooms in my house and i do not have 3G on my my ipad.

Did you try forgetting the network and starting all over again?
Settings>WiFi>Network Name>Tap the blue arrow>Forget this Network. Restart your iPad and then try joining again.
Try rebooting your router. Even though everything else may be connecting to your Network, it might help with the iPad. Unplug the router for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Reset Network settings on the iPad?
Settings>>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to start all over again, Tap WiFi in the settings, find your network and enter the password.

My computer and iPhone will NOT connect, Sync is loaded on both but will NOT connect

I don't know details. I followed the instructions and I can not connect to Firefox. The game is Kingdom of Camelot. Other tabs post but not Camelot.

Can you be a little more specific about what are you trying to do? Your issue doesn't seem related to Firefox.
I will try to help you as soon as I understand the issue in detail.

D110 will connects to my Dlink wireless router, but will not print

First, I have changed the settings on the Dlink to WAP2 from WEP. This at least allowed the printer to successfully connect to my network. However, the printer does not show in my Network Places. When I try to print, the document sits in the queue. In control panel it shows as offline. Also, the wireless button on the printer will only light once in a while when it press it, and the LCD display seems to be stuck on Languages only.
The printer does work if I use the USB connection, but that's not what I want. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
This question was solved.

You should not have to nor should you use WEP. It is not secure. If you cannot connect to your router, try this first before changing from WPA2:
1. Make sure your router has updated firmware and a fresh reboot.
2. Make sure you are broadcasting your SSID and not using MAC filtering.
3. Make sure 802.11g is present and set it to use channel 1 or 11.
If that does not work, change from WPA2 to WPA. Do not use WEP.

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet".How can I change ip address?

My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.

First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

Additional things to try.
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.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet.

My laptop compaq presario will not connect to the Internet anymore after buying airport extreme. Why? It detects the network, accepts my password, but will not connect to Internet. I tried to repair connection, tried to reboot modem several times, I even updated my computer. Nothing. All it says is that it does not detect modem. Why?

Welcome to the support community group.
First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop. Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power. Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop. Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility. Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
Check back if you're still having problems.

HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet

My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
Good luck.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to.

I installed a new wifi router and airport will not connect automatically to it. It sees the network but will not connect unless I tell it to. I can't find anywhere in the utility or network preferences that will allow me to choose this router as the default. How do I fix this? BTW I'm using Lion.

Are there any previous networks that you have used that have the same password as Molly? YES
Using System Preferences > Network > AirPort Advanced again, you need to remove any listings of previous networks that used the same password as Molly. Click the name of the network and click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list of connections.
Also delete any other networks (except Molly at the top of the list) that might have used the same name...Molly in the past.
Delete any other networks that you no longer need so that your Mac will search for networks more quickly
Click OK, then click Apply
Open KeyChain Access and look for a listing of any old networks that you no longer need. Click to highlight the name of the network, then click the Delete Key on your computer.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the name Molly in the past and do the same for them.
Then look for any old networks that might have used the same password as the password for your "new" Molly network and delete them in the same way
Click the KeyChain Access menu just next to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the computer screen
and then click KeyChain First Aid
Enter the main administrator password for the Mac you are using and highlight the Repair button. Then click Start. You will see a message that repairs have been completed
Quit Keychain Access
Power down the entire network...all devices...order is not important
Power up the modem first, then your main router, the other devices one at a time
Log on to Molly and see if the Mac remembers it after a few tries. If not, I'm afraid that you will need to change the name of the wireless network and password on your router due to corruption issues on the Mac. You have done everything possible without re-installing the complete operating system.

Can't connect my new iPhone 4 with internet via Time Capsule. IP4 recognized TC but will not connect with it. (Password etc. is ok)

Do the usual wireless things.
Change the wireless name to simple name with only alphanumerics and no spaces.
Set to manual and use channels 1, 6, 11 in turn.
For testing take off the security altogether.
The iphone only works on 2.4ghz so only that band is relevant.
