Internet stopped working. Can't access Network Settings.

Hi,
So I start up my IMac G3 this morning and I can't access the Internet.
I can't even get to the Network Settings, in System Preferences. It just frezzes up.
Im running 10.2, but I tried upgrading to 10.3 and it keeps frezzing up.
Everything else works fine. Any ideas, suggestions. If I try to re-install 10.2 will I have to format the drive or will it just install over the existing OS?
Appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks,
Mike A.

Ok. I tried the Disk Permisions already and still nothing. I'll try creating a new User and let you know what happens.
Also, I was going through my HD and deleting things to free up more space. Than I tried upgrading to 10.3. So far the upgrading is working. Not sure if that will fix my Internet connection either.
Strange how it would'nt upgrade with 3.5 gigs but would with 7 gigs free.
Thanks,
Mike A.

  • T42P Wireless Stopped Working - can't aquire network address

    Hi,
    I have a T42P which has run wireless for years with no problems. All of a sudden it stopped working. It has a very good signal strength but hangs when "acquiring a network address"
    I have updated the driver for the Intel PRO LAN 2100 3B to 1.2.5.37. I am running XP SP3.
    I have 3 other wifi devices that connect to the network without any issues
    Any help gratefully received
    thx

    This worked for me, quoting from an earlier post of mine. My T60 was stuck in perpetually "acquiring network address" (wired or wireless) If that is your problem try this:
    I think I may have found the fix. According to microsoft the problem can arise when winsock gets corrupted, either as part of a service pack upgrade or when NORTON is uninstalled.
    The fix can be found at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259#FixItForMeAlways
    on that page you will find a section titled "fix irtfor me" This will rewrite your winsock file. So far it seems to have worked
    Cross you fingers.
    You can see if this is the problem by going
    control panel
    adminstrative tools
    component services
    services local
    and then manually start DHCP CLIENT (and if needed) WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION
    You should be ablre to connect then

  • WRT54GX2 isn't working, can't access its settings

    There seems to be a problem with my wireless WRT54GX2 router. It was working fine but now is not. Not only can I not access the internet when it is properly connected but I can't even reach the 192.168.1.1 settings. If I disconnect the router and connect directly to the modem and login to my SBC DSL PPPoE the internet works fine.
    When the router is connected the power, internet, wireless, and LAN LEDs are all on. I have hit the reset button and it doesn't help. I have ran the router's setup CD, followed the directions, but when I reach the final step of saving the settings I eventually get the message that the router can't be found.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    You will need to try to reset your router to the factory defaults.  (Note: if you get stuck at any step, note the exact error message, and what lights on the router are on.)
    Do the following:
    1) Power down your computer, router, and modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Connect one computer, by wire, to LAN port 1  (not the Internet port).  DO NOT CONNECT THE MODEM.
    4)  Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    5)  Press and hold the router reset button for 20 seconds, then release the button.  Allow the router to reset and fully boot (2-3 minutes).
    6)  Power down the router, and wait 2 minutes.
    7)  Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up computer.
    9)  Now, try to ping your router.  To do this, click the "Start button", select "Run".   In the box labeled "Open", type in "ping 192.168.1.1"  (no quotes), then click on "OK".   A black box will open and 3 or 4 lines will appear that start with "Reply from ..."  or  "Request timed out".  If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10)  Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1  
    11)  Leave the user name blank, and enter the password "admin"
    12)  This should take you to your router setup pages.  Note the router's firmware version.   This should be listed in the upper right hand corner of the router's web page.
    13)  Close your browser.
    Report back with your results, including your firmware version, and any error messages, and we will proceed to the next step.
    If you get through all the steps with no errors, and all this is working, then you should be able to use your setup CD to complete the router setup.

  • My phone fall down and suddenly the network stopped working can't find for any coverage, And I already reset the all settings and network settings!!! plz help me

    my phone fall down and the network stopped working can't search to any coverage

    It is not properly connected to the network.
    Make sure location is set correctly
    DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet
    Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

    Hi，
    So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
    Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
    Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers. 
    if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

  • How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?

    How can i access security settings to stop PDF being copied?
    I'm trying to secure my documents so others can not convert file to word or copy and paste information to edit

    Keep in mind (and Acrobat will alert you to this fact) that protections that you set in Acrobat are enforced by all Adobe products but the 3rd-party PDF Viewers may ignore them. There are even Web sites that will strip protections that you set in Acrobat. This is not a reliable technology these days. Acrobat keeps it mostly for backward compatibility for those users who use only Adobe Acrobat/Reader.

  • Internet stopped working on MBA after latest firmware update. Help please!!!

    Internet stopped working after installing the latest firmware update. WiFi still connects to router, our other mac desktop still connects to internet as usual (same network). I can't even re-install the MBA OS since it needs an internet connection!!!

    FIXED.
    I swapped our wireless router for a newer one, internet seems to work fine again (we were sent a new one by our internet provider which we never set up until now).

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • After like 10 minutes internet stops working

    okay so this all started when i updated to dp 3 or something, then the internet started acting up.....no matter if i update or not (this has been going on for like a month, and i'm on the actual release of yosemite) it keeps on doing this stuff where the internet stops working.....it seems like the less plugins the better because when I use browsers such as "Netsurf" or "Opera" the internet works for like 15 minutes, but then for safari, its like 2 minutes and stops working.  In order to get back online I have to completely log off and log back on, so thats the real problem, especially because I have to use the laptop for school.  I currently tried to find the issue by having the console open on the side so when it finally says "0 B" on opera, I could check the error.  What appeared when this happened was this:
    10/23/14 12:31:27.037 PM Console[789]: Failed to connect (_consoleX) outlet from (NSApplication) to (ConsoleX): missing setter or instance variable
    So, great I found what the issue is, but now what I need to know is what can I do to fix this?  Please I'm desperate, because not only is this my laptop but it's my mom's.  So she has like an entire buisness set up, and due to this error....it's screwing around with her timing on getting everything in for her buisness.  Best regards,
    Tom Hancock

    Slightly different issue but maybe it will help someone solve the OP problem. Just installed 10.10 and using Safari.
    This is my error message...
    28/10/2014 12:41:14.757 pm Console[7383]: Failed to connect (_consoleX) outlet from (NSApplication) to (ConsoleX): missing setter or instance variable
    I get this whenever I try and reply to an email in OWA (Outlook Web Access). It causes Safari to crash. Up to this point the internet is accessible without problems.

  • Internet stops working at random

    Hi Guys!
    This is about my girlfriend's MacBook.
    We have a LevelOne WiFi router, works perfectly fine for my MacBook Pro and other computers (Windows XP, Vista,...).
    She can connect to the Wifi and use the Internet. However, after a while - the duration changes, sometimes it's only a few minutes, sometimes it lasts for 30 min. - the Internet stops working.
    The MacBook still has full WiFi connection but she doesn't have Internet (no websites, no skype, etc). It's not dependent on what she's doing, sometimes it happens even when she doesn't use the computer.
    In the Network Preferences it says that "AirPort has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the Internet." Under TCP/IP it's set for using DCHP and also shows an IP and a Subnet Mask, however, the field for "Router" is empty. Renewing the DHCP lease doesn't help, she has to disconnect the Wifi and re-connect, then it works again.
    When it works it says that it has another IP address (192.168.123.167), Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and Router is: 192.168.123.254
    You can probably imagine that this is annoying like sh*. Help us before I have to bring her to the asylum

    The Internet stops working because you are either losing your association to the Wi-Fi router or your DHCP lease is expiring.
    The first step to take in debugging this is to make sure your Wi-Fi router has the most up-to-date firmware available from its manufacturer installed on it.

  • Internet stops working frequently on OS X Lion

    I had 10.6.X latesr version was OS X and I was happy with that. Now I have upgraded to this Lion OS and I am getting one very embarrasing issue.
    Internet stops working frequently. The following will give you the feel of the issue:
    - I am starting safari and will browse for sometime.
    - Suddenly I wont be able to open any sites, internet will stop working.
    - So I check wifi, it is online and showing correctly in my Mac Book Pro.
    - I checked with my room mate his internet is working properly.
    - I changed browser I am not able to browse site in Chrome too.
    Solution restart MBP or on/off wifi and restart browser then internet will start working. I am fed up of this lion problem. Does any experienced this problem? Is this a bug? Why I upgraded to this Lion?

    I am facing the same issue, only with a slight difference. My entire system sort of hits a halt, apps still work, but they refuse to close.
    I am using Internet Sharing to share my internet connection from my iMac's Ethernet port to the WiFi. After a while, not only the iMac's internet stops working, the internet sharing stops working too, not to my surprise. Restarting the computer seems to solve the problem but not 100% of the time, and everytime I try to restart the system, all my open apps seem to refuse to close and I have to either force quit them, which works sometimes, or do a force shutdown by holding the power button for a few seconds.
    Making the Ethernet port inactive and reactivating it does not solve the problem, nor does disconnecting the ethernet cable and reconnecting it.
    I have a little software installed that monitors my network activity and displays it in the menu bar. I have it currently monitoring my Ethernet port and what happens when the internet connection stops working is that the Ethernet port, although still connected and with a green light, just stops sending and receiving data, sometimes it does receive some data but it stays at 30-60 B/s.
    I'm sure this is an issue with OS X Lion because I had never had this issue with Snow Leopard until I upgraded to Lion.
    Realy hoping for some guidance from Apple here on how to tackle this issue, it's quite annoying to have to restart my iMac all the time. I am used to leaving my iMac on all the time cause I access it remotely often using LogMeIn on my iPad. As well as that, I have other network services running and it's quite annoying to try and access my iMac remotely and find out it is offline because Lion refuses to keep me connected to the internet.

  • The computer install TMG can't access network

    Hello Everyone
    My computer has installed Winserver 2008 R2. It have 2 card network. 
    Lan network Card : 192.168.1.254/24
    Internet network Card: get IP automatic
    My computer can access network
    But when I installed TMG. My Inetrnet Card can't get IP automatic and I can't access network
    I created access rule : Protocal :Allow outbound traffic, From: Internal, To: External
    but It is not success
    Help me 

    Hi,
    You need to modify a system rule for this to work.
    Open TMG management console
    Go to Firewall Policy and on the tasks pane on the right hand side click "Edit System Policy".
    Under Network Services, selet DHCP and on the From tab add the network External. Click OK and apply the policy. When the configuration has synced, renew the IP configuration for the external adapter.
    Obvious risks with allowing this apply.

  • Internet stops working after waking up from sleep

    My MPB has a strange and very inconvenient problem. Sometimes when it goes out of sleep Internet stops working. No matter what connection I use: Ethernet or WiFi (tried both), no site can be opened. The strange thing is:
    at the same time other devices connected to the same router work fine (both wired and wireless), so router and ISP are OK.
    from Mac I can ping any site by IP (and Skype works fine too).
    So it looks like some service in Mac OS that is responsible for domain name resolution stops working.
    What I tried:
    Restart router - no effect
    Move Mac to sleep and wake again - no effect
    Restart Mac - the only cure. But in this case I have to close and open numerous applications that is really bothering.
    Should I mention that all updates are in place?

    Try this. Go to: System Preferences/Network/Advanced/ and click on the far right part of the bar, PPP. You have seven possible items to be clicked: instead, only click "Connect Automatically..." and "Disconnect when..." - and leave everything else unclicked.
    That should solve your problem, though it'd be great if you were to post your results here.

  • Can't access print settings

    Hi.  Whenever I save a set of print settings for printing I can no longer access Print Settings again.  I searched the forum and found this response. This works but then the problem represents itself the next time I go to print.  It is rather tedious to reset all my preferences every time I want to print a document.
    Mac 10.6.8. I have the latest version of CS5 fully updated. Printing to an Epson 4800.
    Help appreciated.

    What i got from another thread, is that you have to launch PS while holding down a certain combination of keys (i think it was shift+alt+cmd), and it'll reset your preferences.
    It worked like a charm.
    gabevf had the correct answer! I tried it and everything is working fine now!
    The combination is indeed shift+alt+cmd and then double-click on the Photoshop app icon.
    Greets!

    32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
    "I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
    Thanks.  I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
    Go figure.
    Thanks a lot for the help.
    What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue.

  • Can't access modem settings

    can't access modem settings, from safari,i after updating to mavericks,

    You need to put your dsl modem into bridge mode. Then enter your PPPoE settings into the router. You might have to powercycle (unplug power for 30seconds) your modem when connecting diifferent devices to it. You said that  you can't connect to the router @ 192.168.2.1 ?
    You can use this as a guide after you put the modem into bridge mode.
