Internet suddenly not working. RCN says its my iBook...

OK, this is long, and I'm not sure if any of these things are related. I recently bought an iMac. I loaded it up from my one-year old iBook. Everything seemed fine for the first couple of days, then I lost my internet connection. RCN my provider has been here several times. Finally, today, someone came in and said it was my Mac. Told him it couldn't be. He turned on his PC, and sure enough, it worked. Tried my iBook, would work for 5 minutes, then...nothing. If I disconnect and reconnect, I have internet for 5 minutes again. Weird thing was, he said he couldn't find my network info. Opened up system preferenced and network icon wasn't there. Could something have happened during transfer? Any idea why I keep getting booted off my connection? The tech seemed to think it had something to do with PPOE????

crownoflove, Welcome to the discussion area!
I don't know if you have been doing this or not, but whenever you switch the Ethernet cable from the cable modem from one device to another you should power off the cable modem for a few seconds. Otherwise many cable modems refuse to talk with the new device.

    Hi t0m#2410,
    How did you install Acrobat, did you install it as a part of Suite installation.
    If it is a part of suite then deactivate suite uninstall Acrobat, Reinstall Acrobat using Suite media. Launch Photoshop first and Activate.
    Then try launch Acrobat.

  • Internet suddenly not working - network diagnostics disagrees.  All other ccomputers in house are fine.

    I am running 10.6.8.  Suddenly yesterday without warning my browsers were no longer able to connect to any page.  Network diagnostics claim that "internet appears to be working correctly".  Restarted airport.  Restarted computer.  Other computers in house connecting just fine.  Tried pinging ggoogle.com in terminal.  Haven't tried connecting to other networks.
    Ideas?  Thanks in advance.

    The OP tells us he has already done that.   Might be worth shutting down your machine, unplugging all unnecessary accessiories, wait a minute or so then restart without the accessories.

  • Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

    I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
    Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
    When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
    Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
    When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
    I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
    Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
    The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
    or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
    Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

    Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
    I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
    ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
    When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
    Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
    I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
    I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

  • MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that.  Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?

    MacBook 2008 wifi suddenly stopped working and says no wifi hardware. Took it to an apple shop, they said it could be the airport card but wouldn't do anymore then that.
    Any help on how to fix this? How do I know if it is the airport card or not?
    is there anything else I can try first?
    thanks

    If the technician at the shop is competent, he has given you a diagnosis that should have identified the problem.  You could run the Apple Hardware Test to verify the findings:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
    Note the Apple Hardware Test is not definitive.
    Go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites.  They have parts and installation instructions.  To install an Airport card is fairly easy.

  • My Macbook Pro doesnt seem to connect to my Belkin wireless router. It is connected but the internet would not work. any suggestions?

    hey guys. I am having trouble with my internet. My MacBook Pro seems to be connected with Belkin wireless router, but the internet would not work. We recently changed the router so its pretty new, and it used to work on my HP laptop. Although there were some problems, it still worked. But now, the internet works and stops suddenly, and then works again.
    I would love to hear some suggestions to get rid of this.
    Thanks
    Kiran

    If you have not already done so, read the troubleshooting section in Belkin's user manual, contact their customer tech support by phone or go to its website.  Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.
