Internet signal but no Windows XP internet connection
I have a MacPro partitioned using BootCamp and can access the internet using the Mac OS side but when I open to the Windows XP partition, I have an "excellent" signal denoted in the lower right hand corner but can not get a connection to the internet using Explorer. I can use a ethernet cable attached to my Mac and access the internet while in Windows
I went to the microsoft website to apply the hot fixes offered without resolve to the problem.
My question is this: What is wrong? Is the configuration used on the OS Partition for AirPort different for Windows? Could it be the channel being used. I am very overwhelmed by all the different lettering being used to denote this or that and though I have been trying to work on this for over a week, I can not find a forum that addresses this. My router is a Linksys and the main PC and my Mac are working fine but it is the Windows thing. Can anyone suggest, being as specific as possible as to how to fix this.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
I just spent 2 hours trying to get a windows Xp to connect to a airport extreme. When I first started, I needed the hex key to connect the windows machine; I got the key and it connected fine. When I start the airport admin utility, it told me it the version installed was not compatable with the base station, but every thing worked. I decided that I better update the admin utility, so I installed what came with the base station. When I started the new version of the the utility,it found a update for the base station. So, I let it update the firmware. I don't know if the windows would have connected because I did not test it. Once the firmware was updated, the windows machine connects but does not aquire a IP address. I am using WEP and the wep key works just fine with the MacBook.
It seems like this is the same problem others are describing, but also seems to be linked to either the firmware update or the admin utililty. Has everyone witht problems updated the firmware in the base station?

Hi, I was working at home with my iPad, everything was going well. It went out battery and after this I am unable to connect to the wifi at home. Before getting out battery no problem, and now it sees the router signal but it is unable to connect to it.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have wifi signal but says it won't connect to server
I have a wifi signal but says it cannot connect to server
What are you looking for on the server?
What application on the iPad are you using to connect to the server?
In many cases, you will need additional applications.

my wifi is connected but when i try to connect to safari it says the internet is not connected, i tryed resetting network system but still no luck.
Your iPad sees the WiFi network signal but obviously it is not connected to the network. Try rebooting your router - unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

About 3 days ago the wifi started to be very weak in my room until it just stopped connecting. The Macbook picks up the wifi signal, but when I try to connect it says "a connection timeout occurred". If I bring the laptop about 10 feet closer to the router (I'm the farthest room in the house from the router), it will pick up the signal and connect to the internet and be able to load pages. If I then bring the laptop back into my room, it will still say it's connected to the wifi, but it won't be able to load any web pages until it just disconnects itself from the wifi. When I run diagnostics on this, the wifi and settings is green, but the ISP is yellow until it just turns red. So the Wifi signal reaches my room, but the internet doesn't?
I've also made sure nothing in my room is interfering with the wifi, and the same thing happens on my iPad. The router is also in the same place it's been in the past month, and I've tried moving it about 5 feet closer, but it doesn't help and I can't move it any further.
How can I fix this problem? Is it just my router/modem, or is it some sort of settings on my Macbook?If your iPad and MacBook operate normally when close to the router, then it is most likely a signal strength issue. Here are a couple articles to help you evaluate your signal strength on the Mac:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/28/check-wireless-signal-strength-optimize-wifi-netw orks-mac-os-x/
http://thenextweb.com/apple/2014/03/13/better-wi-fi-statistics-analytics-built-r ight-mac-os-x/
You said you confirmed that there are no other devices which might interfere such as a microwave, but please review
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/spectrum-expert-wi-fi/ prod_white_paper0900aecd807395a9.html.
Could anything around your house have changed? Did you add any wifi devices or moved the location of other items which might cause interference?
Another possibility is external interference. Do you have a neighbor close by? Could they have added a wifi router or something else that might be the source of the problem?
If you have a cable router/wifi combo unit, could your cable provider have updated the firmware? Maybe try rebooting the routiner. -
Time capsule produces a signal, but won't connect or backup
I have looked at some of the other discussions here; some are similar, but I can't find an answer.
I have a TC, Macbook Pro and an iPhone 4, all between 6-10 months old. My problems started when I turned on all my stuff after being away for 4 weeks over the summer.
My Macbook pro's AirPort recognises the TC - I have a 'full signal' reading at the top of the page. However, when I try and connect to the internet, I'm told it can't connect to the server. If I just keep trying, re-entering addresses (from the scroll-down bar, so always exactly the same), it eventually connects and I have a great connection, which I can use to watch movies/download stuff no problem. Why is it so **** illogical? Why does it connect on the 20th attempt, and not on the first? This happens however long the computer has been on, and regardless of when I last connected to the internet.
The biggest problem is that I have a Vodafone 'Sure Signal' signal booster attached to the TC. Without it, I get no phone signal. The Sure Signal does not recognise the signal from the TC at all. I have done factory resets on both - individually and together, and nothing has changed. I have turned the Sure Signal off, but the TC still doesn't work properly.
My iPhone won't connect either. It too shows a 'full signal', but when I try and connect it says connected/not connected alternately about every 1 second.
The TC is connected to the internet via a cable from my landlord's router, next door. They have perfect signal. They also have a signal booster in their house, which used to interfere with my TC (when it worked). I changed the channel on my TC, and now, when it connects, there is no interference.
Please can someone enlighten me - I have worked though every thing I can, and I can't go any further because I can't see any logic to the problem.
** Since these problems have started, the TC has not backed anything up - I can't get it to back up, whatever I've tried.
** Each time I have re-made my network, when I open Airport Utility, it says 'no wireless devices recognised', and I have to re-start the TC in order to be able to do anything to it.Try changing the Firewall setting:
mDNSResponder - Allow incoming connections
Background:
My Time Capsule was working perfectly in Leopard.
When I upgraded to Slow Leopard, Airport Utility was no longer able to see the Time Capsule - although my Mac (MBP) was still able to connect to the wireless network and out onto the Internet.
The next day or so I upgraded to Lion (Snow Leopard was only installed to get App store) - the situation remained the same.
From another Mac (MB - still running Leopard) Airport Utility was still able to connect to Time Capsule.
I edited the firewall settings on my Lion MBP:
The mDNSResponder was set to "Block incoming connections".
I changed this to "Allow incoming connections".
Airport Utility was then was then able to see the Time Capsule (I can't recall now if I needed a reboot after changing this).

I have a #G phone, unlocked, have been using T-mobile. I have the unlimited data plan. All has ben well, until yesterday. For some reason, I lost the ability to connect with the internet, even with wi-fi, although when I am within wi-fi range, it appears that I am getting a signal, but I am getting no connection to the internet. The "E" has disappeared from the top of the phone.
I have tried turning the phone on and off, but that did not work. I am afraid to try a reset, because I may lose the "unlocked" feature of my phone. I was warned to NOT upgrade firmware
Not sure what to do or try. I went to T-Mobile, where I got the code to set up the APN configuration - which I needed to do initially to get the internet up and running but I am unable to find the VPN configuration - would that help?
Help,
TomSounds like your iPhone has been hacked to be unlocked - not purchased as officially unlocked and if so, hacking an iPhone for any purpose is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone, is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions - which are provided and moderated by Apple, and voids the warranty.

The computer sees the airport signal but cannot connect to the internet
I have a imac g5 connected wirelessly to my base station & an airport express. The mac part connects to the internet using the network without any problem. My problem is that the pc portion (using Windows XP) of my imac will not connect to the internet using the wireless network. It shows a strong signal but no connectivity. One of the comments that comes up is that the network didn't assign a network address to the computer (I assume the PC portion). Any thoughts how I can get my computer to connect to the wireless network from the PC portion of my mac.
many thanks.Make sure your Firewall settings are correct. I'm going to share some of my settings in the PC area (please bear in mind that these IP addresses could differ from system to system)
My Windows Firewall is DISABLED. You could do the same temporary and see if it works. I use Zone Alarm Pro Firewall. Make sure in my Control Panel ==> Network connection status, your device shows Airport Express wireless device or router.
Depending in your Internet service provider and geographical zone the IP address could be different.
Example:
Zone Alarm Windows settings:
TRUSTED ZONES ==> Loopback Adapter 127.0.0.0.1
PC IP address 192.169.1.3 (example)
Gateway 192.169.1.254
DHCP Server 10.0.1.1
DNS 10.0.0.1
IN AIPORT EXTREME SETTINGS ( Make sure you are in your Imac side or Mac Os)

Picking up wireless signal, but it's not letting me connect to the internet
I live in a college dorm, and I pick up an airport signal from someone else, and last night the internet was down all around. This morning however, it came back up and I have a full airport signal, but I can't connect to the internet through it. Additionally, it keeps scrolling, 'looking for PPPoE host', and I keep getting a little pop up window from internet connect asking me for some password (I'm not entirely sure what password). I was messing around with the settings on my computer last night making sure that it wasn't my computer, and I may have done something but I'm not sure what. Does anyone have any idea what I might have done and how to fix it? I would go to the help desk here but they said they can't see me until Thursday, so any suggestions anyone has would be helpful.
Hello dancerhelen2006. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This morning however, it came back up and I have a full airport signal, but I can't connect to the internet through it. Additionally, it keeps scrolling, 'looking for PPPoE host', and I keep getting a little pop up window from internet connect asking me for some password (I'm not entirely sure what password).
This typically would indicate that your computer is trying to use PPPoE (username/password) to access the Internet service. If the Internet provider does not require PPPoE, then this would not be necessary.
Let's double-check your AirPort settings ...
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
o Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
o Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
o Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
o By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
o Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
o Configure Proxies: Manually
o Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
o Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
o Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
o Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked) -
I am trying to set up internet connection to my home using a 3gig Airport time capsule as a router. I unplugged the cable from the existing router, and plugged it into the ethernet port of the TC. The TC fired up found tttttttthe internet connection, and glowed green. I set up the password, and all, and was then able to connect a Windows 7 PC, 2 ipads, and iphone 6, and a macbbook air, all running the most current os. All devices connect with the internet via the Airport device. they all say that there is a fully functioning internet connection, but none of them can actually connect to the internet. When I run a speed test via OKLA I am told that the test failed to innatiate.When I try to do a search I get an error message that the page cannot open because safari cannot make a secure connection to the server.
Any suggestions?Inside the house I have what looks like a phone cable that is plugged into a power supply, and into a router.
What is this router?? Is it the TC or a router supplied by the ISP?
It will depend on how the system works.. but the instructions from skybeam are fairly simple.. you just setup a router with dhcp set on the WAN port for connection.
On the airport utility open your TC by clicking it then clicking edit.
Make sure the WAN is set correctly and the ISP ethernet cable is plugged into it.
And make sure Network is set to DHCP and NAT.
Please give me the screenshots of the same things from your setup. -
new imac running lion 10.7.2 partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers???? please help
I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
Hope that helps -

I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
o/s to W7-Ult.
Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
Steam or the like causing interference.
I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
my Asus machine.
