Internet not working when wifi on

I'm on Mac osx mavericks and the internet was working fine for some time but randomly stopped working. I figured the problem was because the WiFi sharing is on when I turn the WiFi off it works but turn it back on and I can't use the internet on my Mac. The internet sharing works also when it's on. I don't know how to make it work with both on.

I think that others could provide better suggestions if you provide a clear description of your network setup.  You obviously have two computers that have wireless capability but I'm not clear if you are using a wireless router or if you are connecting the one Mac through Ethernet.
Unless you have a specific reason that you cannot do so, each computer should connect directly to a wireless router instead of trying to use Internet Sharing.
If you give some clear details of your setup, and why it's set up that way, then I'm sure that there are some folks that can help figure this out for you or suggest a better configuration.

    Did you download and install the Boot Camp Windows support software? If you did not, re-read and follow the Boot Camp installation guide for your computer and operating system. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Otherwise, read the Windows help for setting up and configuring networks.

  • Help Please: Mail will not work when Wifi uses HTTP Proxy

    I am using an IPad 2 under iOS5. At work, I can connect to the internet using Safari via our wifi network with no problems. This requires access via a manually set HTTP Proxy.
    However, all attempts to create or use a (GMail) account have failed. I know that the mail account works because I have used it with no problems via my home wifi network. It would appear that Mail is not using the wifi proxy information in settings.
    The same was true under iOS4, but I would have hoped that a fix would have appeared in iOS5.
    Can anyone offer help or advice as to how I get around this problem?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • HT4628 MacMini internet not working through wifi

    I moved my Mac mini server (running snow leopard server) to another location, and I tried to connect to Internet through the wifi.
    I have other devices connected to internet through my time capsule (MacBook, iPhone, iPad).
    My Mac mini is well connected to the time capsule (I can exchange files between my Mac mini & MacBook).
    So I don't understand why I cannot connect to the Internet from my Mac mini??? It used to be connected through Ethernet.
    Thanks for your help, it's driving me crazy !!!

    I have been around the forums.
    Is this related to 10.6.8?  I have tried all th fix i have seen, but not working.
    Should upgrading to mountain lion solve it?
    Thanks

  • Iphone internet not working on wifi or 3g.... but will on edge

    having trouble getting an internet connection on my iphone 3g, with both wifi, and 3g, the only thing that seems to work is edge. this is very annoying, and i hate having to use edge when the other iphones in the office seem to be working fine on 3g. any help?

    For all it's worth, IF you are using the iPhone in your HOME country (which is the same country where you purchased your iPhone and where you have your service provider) go to settings->general->network and turn data roaming "on". If this solves your problem, next call your service provider and find out about 3G coverage in your area as for the Wi-fi, that may possible be a hardware problem with your device.

  • Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does?

    Why does the internet on my new macbook pro not work when my old macbook's does? I'll have to turn the wifi off and back on multiple times to get the internet to continue to work on my Macbook Pro (running mountain lion but did it on lion also) when it runs fine on my old white Macbook (running lion). Is there something I can do to fix it or do I just have to deal with it?

    Here is your fix .. I have uploaded my properly calibrated profile get it here :
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YAJL6A9X
    And it should go to your user folder/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    if you have one already you can rename either one ..
    and then go to system preferences - displays - color to select the profile .
    you will get rid of the blue tint while keeping correct color and gamma
    This is for the newer 2010 MBP's altho if same display was used might also give good results in the previous models as well . .

    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

  • My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.

    The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router.  Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right?  Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.
