Internet connection status icon

Is there an icon in OSX that shows the status of your INTERNET connection?
The Airport status Icon shows that when you're connected to a network, but not the internet.
Help! Thanks

Self-assigned IP, no internet connection status with FIOS?

a friend just had FIOS installed at her house and after it was set up she was able to connect to the internet. i came over later in the day to join her airport express to this WiFi network by using airport utility (she wanted to have her printer available on the network). after i tried setting it up using her macbook (it failed because the WEP key used by verizon is 64 bit and apple only supports 128 bit) and rejoined the FIOS router network we lost the internet connection. in network preferences it showed a self--assigned IP address but no internet connection status. i've tried deleting this network from the joined network list, deleted the password from keychain and then rejoining the network, putting in the password when prompted. still the same "no internet connection" status. any ideas?
thanks!

Eh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved.
For future reference.
My TC is a 3rd gen.
I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
I did have AppleCare....
I'm online again and I hope for good.
Thanks a lot
PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration

Internet connection status is disabled but the internet is working

Hi,
i've got wrt54gs version 6, in the internet gateway - internet connection the status sometime is coming disabled even though that the internet is working, i got 2 pcs connected to this router by ethernet cable on one pc i see the connection as disabled and on the other enabled but the internet connection is working on both,
what could be the reason???
thanks

Hi .....can you give a few more details ??? who is your ISP , also would like to know the way you have hooked up the devices...check if you have a USB cable running between the router and any of the PC's .

Where have my speaker volume and internet connection notification icons gone?

This morning two 'notification icons' (at bottom right of screen) vanished: speaker volume, and internet connection. How do I restore them?
I have Firefox 6.0.2 running on Windows Vista

Great, thanks you two, much appreciate the help. They only say it will be restored ASAP. Has this happened before and how long did it take to fix? Also, I'm in the UK so I assume its a global issue?
Thanks

Internet connection status

Hi all
I want to have a network connection status like what windows has. How can I access to network traffic?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
the network connection status information is not directly attainable using LabVIEW's built in vi's. You're going to need to find the windows API calls to get to this information.
Start by looking at google for network status monitor. Ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com/) do a network information product, which is open source, and this might give you some ideas on packet sniffing information etc.
Essentially you'd be looking for an ActiveX automation server, or ActiveX control that would acheive the functionality you want, then this could easily be incorporated into LabVIEW. Even a .net assembly would usually be incorporatable.
Check around the web for example code and downloadable controls etc.
Hope that helps

Internet connectivity status?

I am able to connect to internet wirelessly, and wired....but how do I check what my status is...( for instance, if I'm connected wirelessly at 54 mpbs or 48?, etc..)

I really like AirTrafficControl Widget.

I have internet connection (status upper left) but get the message "Cannot open the page". This also applies for my email

I have checked all that is to be found on the internet and in the apple itunes to get the connectivity.
When I check the router, the iPod touch is listed. Also when I check the iPod, in the upper corner left is stated that I have connectivity.
However when I want to go to an internet site, I get the message "Cannot open the page" this is also shown when I start my email?

Try:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Power off and then back on yor router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- As a tet configure you router for no security
Do other devices successly connect to the internet via your router
Does your iPod connect successfully to other networks?

"No Internet access" yellow icon on ThinkPad X230 after updating Intel PROSet wireless drivers

I have a ThinkPad X230 that began to display the yellow exclamation point icon for "No internet access" after I did a batch of updates. It has an Intel Advanced-N 6205 wireless card and is updated to the newest BIOS. I tried everything I could find on Google to try and fix the issue, and found no issues in these forums to users having an issue. So after fighting with it for a day, I decided to wipe the system and reinstall Windows.
I loaded Windows 7 Enterprise X64 with SP1 and did not domain join the laptop, so it is totally untouched Windows. and then installed the Intel wired networking drivers version 11.15.16.0, which were downloaded from Lenovo. I then installed the Intel wireless network drivers version 15.03.1000.1637 which were also downloaded from Lenovo. Everything is working fine at this point. I then loaded TVSU 5.02.0011 to get all the other Lenovo software. One of the updates offered was Intel wireless 15.6.1, so being careful, I selected only that update and installed it. After a restart, the yellow icon is there, even though I haven't yet connected to any wireless network - it is in place for the wired connection too. Uninstalling the 15.6.1 drivers would not make it go away. Installing 15.03.1000.1637 again also doesn't make it go away.
A System Restore to revert to before the installation occurs does make the icon go away.
I did some more searching on Google and the Intel Community forums have a report of this same issue from a user on a Dell machine: http://communities.intel.com/thread/38498. There is no solution posted as of yet. I have posted my problem there now too.
Has anyone experienced this issue and is there any fix besides System Restore or a reformat if the new drivers get installed? I expect the drivers made available via TVSU to be rock solid, this is why I follow what TVSU even if there are newer drivers from the manufacturer sometimes.
Myself I use a T420s with an Ultimate-N 6300 wirelss card, and the newest Intel drivers installed onto my machine without issue. I also have a couple other X230 computers that I am pretty sure have the drivers as well already without problems. So I am wondering if there is some sort of firmware issue with the particular wireless card, or something is causing the drivers to not install in the correct way. Just my thoughts.
Current: ThinkPad Tablet 2 | 64GB // ThinkPad T440s | i7-4600U | 12GB | 512GB SSD | FHD MT
Previous: ThinkPad T420s // ThinkPad T410s

I deploy a lot of X230 laptops and have been dealing with this issue. Since I cannot find any information about the cause and how to fix it I started looking more into it. The "No internet access" yellow icon starts appearing after installing items from System Update. So, with a new X230 I applied all Windows Update (which installed without issues) before going into System Update. After doing the Critical and most of the Rcommended (don't care for Access Connections) I proceeded to the Optional updates which I installed one at a time. When I installed the WiFi Driver for Intel cards 7(64), Version 15.6.1 and rebooted the system the yellow icon appeared with the "No internet connection" status. Everything still works though, I can still connect to the internet. Doing a driver rollback does not fix the problem. I did a system restore from a restore point prior the last System Update and the yellow icon went away. finished the rest of the Optional updates except the WiFi driver and all is well. This is what I did and went through, not sure if it will be the same for everybody. But Lenovo needs to look into that driver version.

Strange itunes internet connection problem

Hey all,
i've been experiencing a strange iTunes problem this summer and was hoping I could get some help. If it helps, im on windows XP (sp2) with the newest version of iTunes.
Here's my problem:
When I insert a CD to import into my library, iTunes fails to retrieve any track info from the internet. This is despite having my preferences set to Automatically retrieve CD track names from the internet. I don't get an error message or anything, just a failure to get any names. However, I can click Advanced -> Get CD Track Names and it will retrieve the names like nothing was wrong in the first place...strange. But there's more:
I can no longer see any Radio stations or categories when I click the Radio tab, just an empty window pane appears with no accompanying error message. To confuse me further, I can get on the iTunes Music store with no problem whatsoever. I haven't tried downloading a song yet, but I can at least stream samples...
so then I go Help -> run Diagnostics -> Network Connection, and I get a FAILED red light for "Internet Connection Status"
what is the DEAL?!

When you run network diagnostics and anything fails, there is a help button that should come up to help troubleshoot what might be blocking itunes.
Try turning off any internet security, firewall or anti-malware that you might have running on the computer. If this works, then check the website for the programs you turned off and see if there are any updates.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

AE Flashing Amber (Status: Internet Connection) but Internet Green

Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer.
I'm on an AE with a Motorola SB6120 modem, paying for Comcast service.
My AE worked fine two weeks ago when I was on Centurylink at another address.
Problem:
AE is flashing Amber.
Status says "Internet Connection", yet...
AirPort Utility tells me that Internet is Green. Plus, I'm typing this through my wifi/internet, so it appears I'm online.
The other major issue is that none of my other wifi-capable devices can connect to my network. Only my MacBook. Not my iPhone, nor my wife's Dell laptop or Droid phone, nor my Nest thermostat. All can see the network, but none can connect to it. They either time out or, in the case of the Dell, say they can't find an IP address.
I have factory reset the AE, unplugged and re-plugged everything in every order I can think of. I've shut down my computer a half dozen times.
When I factory reset the AE, it was green/green for a moment, then went back to flashing Amber. At that point, it had two "Status" issues: Internet Connection and DNS Servers. I entered the DNS default: 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76. DNS "status" went away, but "internet connection" remains.
When I click on the AE icon on the AirPort Utility, it gives the network name I chose, IP address is blank, the serial number is there and the version is 7.6.1. It lists one wireless client.
If I drill deeper, the "internet" menu says I'm connected using DHCP. IPv4 Address is blank. Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Router address is 192.168.100.1. I gave the DNS servers above, and IPv6 servers and domain name are blank. On the wireless menu, the network mode is "create a wireless network", the network name is correct, it's WPA2 Personal security. On the "Network" menu, the Router Mode is "Off (Bridge Mode). All else is greyed out.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I am at wits end, my wife cannot connect to our home network, and I am questioning why I bought an AE when every other router seems to work better.
Many thanks.

Not sure what you mean by default, as those are Google DNS addresses. The default would be to not enter anything and allow Comcast to provide them. In a perfect world Comcast would provide you with the fastest, most reliable DNS service, but that is often not the case, which is why there is OpenDNS, Google Public DNS, etc. In any case, that's not your current problem and now that you have that part working you can decide if that's what you need later.
On the "Network" menu, the Router Mode is "Off (Bridge Mode). All else is greyed out.
There's the problem. It should be "Share a public IP address". Bridge Mode just short circuits the router, which is why only one device is connecting.

Airport network connected on full bars but "no internet connection" and missing lock icon!

this is really frustrating!
I'm using wireless in my house. when i click on my network it connects and it shows perfect connection which is full bars.
on Network Preferences it says that i'm connected to the Airport but when i go to Safari it shows "You are not connected to the Internet" so i click on Network Diagnostic where the 3 network status on top has the green indicator but the ISP, Internet and Server show red and failed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with my internet connection since I'm able to go online using my sister's computer and also on my iPhone.
There's also usually a Lock icon/symbol next to my network's name but when i'm connected to my network the Lock icon seems to be missing but it still shows full bars connection. I really don't get how it's possible to be connected to a network, but no internet connection, while i can access the internet on other devices.
Please help me out here. I've tried ways like going to library>preferences then put the system configuration into Trash, and going to Network Preferences and removing the Airport service and creating a new one.
and one more thing. all mentioned above are when i clicked on Advanced on network preferences then i clicked on TCP/IP and changed the Configure IPv4 from Using DHCP to Manually. When i'm back to using DHCP there's an exclamation point over the airport icon on the top bar and it says no internet connection.

Got my own question answered by a colleague.
He had me create another "Location" in the network pane of System Preferences, then choose it and click Apply. I created a new location which I called 'Airport', chose it and clicked Apply and sure enough, an IP address showed up and all is well.
Justin said it's a network bug in Leopard.

Internet Connect icon

Hi , Can anyone tell me where my Internet Connect icon has gone since i loaded Leopard ? I now have to go through System preferences. Thanks in advance.
Tim.

I sympathize. I have a Novatel U727 (a wireless 3G device) from Sprint that plugs in to the USB port and acts as a modem, which means you have to dig around in System Preferences every time you want to connect/disconnect. It shouldn't have to be so hard.
In your modem settings in the network preferences you can tick the box to show modem status in the menu bar. You can then connect/disconnect using the menubar icon so you dont have to dig around in the network preferences.

I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
