Internet Connection through 90% of applications NOT working :(

So recently alot of my internet applications have stopped working. I use airport. My internet is connected to my computer and I know this because firefox, ventrilo, and video games such as warcraft 3 work using internet connection and my network preferences says that I have an IP and full bars. So the internet applications that don't work are safari, itunes store, my sophos updates, my software update (I am missing like 6 months worth of updates), etc. When I try to use the internet with these applications it will just say to check my internet connection or that I am not connected to the internet. I thought maybe it was a virus even though I have not known anyone I know that has a mac to ever have had a virus yet. So I went out and bought norton anti-virus and it scanned my computer and found zero viruses. So my question is, does anyone know what is wrong with my computer or how on earth I can fix it? I don't know how to wipe the harddrive so if that's what needs to be done please instruct me to a page that shows me how or just tell me. Also my macbook is about 4 years old and the version, I believe, is 10.5.6? Sorry, I'm not on my macbook right now so I'm not exactly sure as to the current version but it should be around there. Thanks in advance for any help you guys offer!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
Sorry to tell you this but Norton anti virus software can actualy damage a hard drive.
Read the second post here by: "Klaus"1
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10399395&#10399395
There are no Mac viruses in the wild... it's not a virus.
Before you erase the hard disk and reinstall the Mac OS X, run Disk Utility from your install disk.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If the hard disk appears to be ok and there's plenty of free disk space then do the Erase and Install, instructions here...

Make sure and back up all important data BEFORE doing this.
If you are running Leopard, the most recent version is 10.5.8.

WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none receive

Hi,
WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

The answer to your question is - neither!
Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

Current Setup:
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics). RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.
I will refer to this setup as my tower.
The Ethernet port works fine by itself. When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.
The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously. The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.
I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network). I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem. I am able to
do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet.
Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card? If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
Any help would be very appreciated.

I had the same problem and came here by searching.
Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
- Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
- Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

Internet connection sharing between Mac Mini and Imac G3- how?

Ok, I'm trying to connect my G3 Imac (running 10.4.8) to my Mac Mini (also running 10.4.8) but it just wont work.
I've turned Internet Connection sharing on on my Mac Mini, and set it to share the airport connection to computers connected using Built in ethernet.
Network (on the M Mini) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active. Built-In Ethernet has a self assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet.
Network (on the G3) shows
Built-In Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 192.168.2.7. You are connected to the Internet via Built-In Ethernet.
When i try to go to a webpage on the G3 it fails stating, 'You are not connected to the Internet'.
I'm using a standard straight through ethernet cable, as I was told a while ago from apple support that it doesn't matter which u use, straight through or crossover.
Any help would be really appreciated
Macbook 2.0Ghz 2GB 80GB/Mac Mini 1.42Ghz 1GB 80GB/Imac G3 450Mhz 640MB 80GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK after some playing about I can now manage to connect to the mac mini and vice versa to share files.
The iMac G3 now says it has an IP address of 192.168.2.18, and that it's connected to the internet via built-in ethernet. I've set configure IPV4 to Using DHCP.
Except it's not connected to the net.
If i select Using DHCP on the Mini it doesn't obtain an IP address, not even a self set one. So i've set a manual IP address on that, and everything shows up green. Airpot connected to the internet and Ethernet has an IP address of 192.168.2.30.
After reading some forums I set up firewall logging. The result is what happens on the Mac Mini when I use network diagnostics on the G3:
Feb 11 16:43:52 richard-xxxxx-mac-mini natd[394]: failed to write packet back (Host is down)
So I opened port 394 (not really knowing what i'm trying) but it had no effect.

UML290 Internet Connection Sharing

Once upon a time a Verizon Tech helped me set up ICS on my WinXP machines... And, I promptly forgot some of the details. So, I am sharing them here.
Basically, what you will be doing is sharing the UML290 Internet Connection while using the Host Computers Ethernet as the Default Gateway.
BTW, You can rename your Network Connections so that they are easier to keep straight in your head. Right-Click on a Network Connections Line Entry and rename.
On The Host Computer (The one that *HAS* the 4G lte Modem Connected to it.)
On your 4G lte properties, under the 'Advanced' tab, in the Internet Connection Sharing block, check both boxes.
Under the 'General' tab make sure both 'Automatically' check boxes are checked.
On The Host Computer Ethernet Properties, under the 'General' Tab, Use the following IP Address: 192.168.0.1 with a mask (automatically set when you tab out) set to: 255.255.255.0
To set up the Client Computer (The one that the USB Modem is *NOT* connected to) you will need to know the Primary and Alternate DNS servers IP addresses. To do so...
1. Open Network Connections
2. Right-Click on the Modem entry
3. Click on 'Status'
4. Select the 'Support' tab
5. Select the 'Details' button
Copy down the DNS Servers IP Addresses... Then close everrything out.
On the Client Computer select the Ethernet Connection being used to interconnect the two Computers.
You may need a Cross-Over Cable if either or both Computers have any age ont them.
Some newer computers automatically detect and switch over, not needing a cross-over cable.
*IF* your computers can't see each other at all, you need to obtain a Cross-Over Cable.
OK, moving on... Under the General Tab: Select Use the following IP Address:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Close out of all property boxes...
Bring up your Browser and see if it can find Google or any other site you need to get to.
Hope This Helps...

VZAM sometimes does not unload properly, so it's running even if you don't see it. You may see one (or even two) instances of the process in the Task Mgr. You can kill it and restart it. One reason it takes time to start and stop is that it has to wait for Wireless Zero Config service to stop so it can take control of WiFi connections. When it exits, is usually restarts WZC service.
You can also set yoru VZAM prefs for manual startup of the program and connections. In this case if a connection is lost, you may have to manually re-connect.

No internet access through hosted network

I created a hosted network to share the internet enabled the same. Both shared connection and the hosted network are showing 'Access type' as internet access, other guest devices are connected to the hosted network, got ip addresses also. But none of
the devices are able to access internet. I have tried disabling antivirus and firewall, but still the internet connection is not available to other devices.
Tried ‘Virtual router plus’. That also could not help in getting internet access, there in fact the internet connection sharing had to be enabled manually.
I had gone through similar issues, but could not see proper answer from an expert.
OS: Windows 8, Windows Firewall enabled
Antivirus: Trend Micro
Internet: USB modem (ICS enabled for the hosted network).
Any suggestions for resolving this issue would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
PS: I could share internet using the same USB modem with a machine running Windows 7 using similar method.

Hi,
Refer to this tutorial:
How to share internet from Windows 8 computer via WiFi without using Router

if this issue persists, try to see if there is newest network driver for windows 8.

Automate Internet Connection Sharing

I'm trying to create a couple of Automator workflows or AppleScripts to turn on and off Internet Connection Sharing, preferably with different SSIDs depending on my location (I don't mind having separate workflows/scripts for each SSID). It doesn't look like there are any Automator actions for this so I tried recording my actions, but that's not working. The slightest twitch of the mouse throws off the running script and even if I totally let go of the mouse it's not getting the selections done correctly (for example, instead of opening the System Preferences pane, it keeps going to Mac OS X Software on the Apple Menu).
Can anyone help me out with this?
(Cross-posting in Automator and AppleScript forums)

Hi,
First of all, to open system preferences, try using the "Launch Application" function in automator and choose System Preferences. This should solve the mouse problem because it doesn't rely on mouse clicks.
Then, for all other functions where you need to record mouse clicks, try using a separate recording for each mouse click.
Make sure you set the execution speed for each recording to maximum before saving as applications, otherwise they will take forever to run and you'll have more chance of small mouse movements disturbing the script between clicks.
I set up scripts in this way to do the same thing you are talking about, except mine where for file sharing with different individuals on my network. So far I haven't had any problems.

Windows 8.1 Group Policies For Internet Connection Sharing?

Are there any more detailed policies available other than simply allowing or blocking Internet Connection Sharing?
I need to find out if there are policies allow management of Internet Connection Sharing? For instance we would like to allow ICS, but control it so that it cannot be set up by the user in unsafe manner.
We would like to either set the PSK password in advance or at least disallow weak ICS WPA passwords. It would also be a good idea if we could set up ICS so that only domain joined computers from our domain could join the ICS session from another computer
on our domain or else disallow direct access and file sharing between the ICS host and the guests joining the ICS network.
Can these types of things be managed via group policy?

> Are there any more detailed policies available other than simply

No.

Internet Connection Sharing using java

Dear all,
I am currently trying to figure out a solution for making an application which would help me accomplish ICS.
I have googled for ideas on this, without too much help.
My ideas so far :
1) Detect input(wait a min. how can I detect if this is the "live" wire ?) from a network interface and then try to share/redirect the traffic to the other n/w interfaces.
2) Actually listing all the n/w interfaces and asking the user to select the master interface.
the problem is, this may also have a few wireless connections hence I would need to know the signal strengths and then post WAP/WEP info too.
I am thinking of using jpcap for this.
This is the first time I am doing such a thing. Please let me know how do I proceed with this. I dont even know if the lines that I am thinkin on (1 & 2) are even correct.
I would be grateful for any pointers on this.
rgds,

If you are talking about NAT? like the real internet connection sharing that many routers, firewalls, etc use to virtualize an IP then it cannot be done in PURE JAVA. Of course you can do something with JNI and possiably even get it to work. But then you will probably just be using features of the platform that your computer is installed upon as in order to do NAT, you have to be able to inject your code into the IP stack code.
Linux you could do it easily as long as the kernel supported it, as you would just have to run ipchains/ipfw commands.
in windows, I have no idea.
However, if you are talking about a proxy, then there are many implementations already done. Proxies are almost trivial to implement these days.

HT1695 the internet on my iphone 4s does not work outside of my house

My iphone 4s only connects to the internet in my house, it does not work if I am anywhere else. Everyone else who has an iphone can, how can I make mine work??

Same. Reset Network -> not solved.
Restore twice -> not solved.
I take to genius bar. The STAFF tell me i need take the responsibility on updating the system. Haha.
I NEED TAKE MY risk on updating to ios6.
As my iphone4s is out of warranty, the staff told me need to paid 1560HKD to repair.
I using ios 5 without ANY PROBLEM just because i need install new apps which require ios6.1
Now the other iphone4s (I got 2 total, one self one my wife) not planning to upgrade, or will not interest iphone 5, who knows if update ios 7 will got something else error and told me is personal fault.

My iMac keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Running 10.6.8 on Intel dual core iMac, it keeps on losing internet connection. Webpages get stuck after a minute or so. If I check the internet connection via diagnostics it seems to work just fine. Others, like the iPad use the same wifi connection and never fail. What can I do?

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox are not working in Windows 8

I found this on another forum and it worked for me.
This problem usually has to do with TCP/IP or Winsock requiring a reset.
Winsock entries tells Windows 7 how to access your network services. Additionally, your TCP/IP protocol can
be corrupted. The TCP/IP protocol is a stack of 4 layers that includes several transport layers, but when this stack is corrupt you will constantly have connectivity issues.
You need Admin access to enter the codes below. Windows button + x, then choose Command Prompt (Admin)
netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)
netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)
You may have to reinstall Chrome and Firefox or reboot to have the chnage take place.
Hi,
This seems to be the only solution to my problem, however this is temporary. Any advice on a more permanent resolution?
I have also tried to disable "Automatically detect settings" under: "Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings/Automatically
detect settings".
This has no affect.
Thanks,

Primary network does not work, guest network does work

I updated the firmware on the Time Capsule, after which we had a power outage. When the Time Capsule came back up, after a bunch of fiddling around we discovered that although the primary network cannot connect the Internet through our phone system router, the guest network works fine. The primary network does not work with the guest network turned off. Resetting the Time Capsule had no effect.

After an entire day of messing around, we went into Airport Utility, selected Internet, selected DHCP, and changed DHCP Beginning Address to match the one showing on the guest network (172.16). Now the primary network can see the Internet.

So my airport extreme recently had some nat/dns issue and in the airport utility displayed a warning about it and to correct it. I wasn't sure what to do so i pressed the resolve icon and now my guest network is not working.

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
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.
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).
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.
