Internet Thru Router: 2 Macs and 1 PC

Hi, I have and Intel iMac, A Blueberry iMac (10.4, I believe) and a PC hooked up to a Linksys Router (wired). I have got the Intel iMac and PC working fine but need the second iMac up on the network for internet. I am on SBC DSL so the Intel iMac is set up manually DHCP.
IP 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.1.1
This is how the Intel iMac is connected, if the Blueberry is connected thru the router on the "fourth" port of the router should it look like this? I actually get under network status, "you are connected" but when i go into a browser I get no connection.
IP 192.168.4.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.4.1
DNS Servers I don't remember but are same on both machines right now as is Search Domains. And I have turned Appletalk off.
thank you, any help is appreciated.

all you machines should be as follows:
IP 192.168.1.x
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Router 192.168.1.1
the first 3 numbers must all be the same. (192.168.1) and "x" should be anything between 1 and 255.
Your machines all need to have the last digit different, but the ports on the router do not matter.

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

Internet sharing between Mac and Windows XP

I am trying to establish an airport wireless network with a Powermac G5 desktop and a Dell laptop with Windows XP, but have been unable to establish even an open network, let alone a secure WEP network. The laptop recognizes the network and ostensibly establishes a connection, but the browser (I've tried both Firefox and Explorer) is unable to connect to any webpages. Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

OK, let's find the IP of the Airport on the Mac and the IP on the PC's connection.
Find IP on computers...
http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/topics/communication/ethernet/office/winxp/2882/
Hopefully Macs Airport will be like x.x.2.1, and the PC x.x.2.x+1
We aren't do File Sharing or Windows Sharing at the same time are we?
You didn't create a Computer to Computer Airport Network on the Mac and are connecting to that are you?

Sharing Internet Connection between Mac and Windows

Hi there!
I have a Windows Desktop and a Macbook 13". Am I able to share the Internet between them?
My Mac has Airport to connect wirelessly. So does my PC, except this Wireless connection always fails. I have re-installed the software and so on, but it still is failing.
What I would like to do is to have my PC connect to my Mac (preferably wirelessly, but I will use an Ethernet cable if I have to!) and then use the Wireless Internet connection. Is this possible, or am I just dreaming?
Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
I hope this information will help.

What is the best way to run internet explorer on Mac and IPad and is it safe to do so??

I need to run internet explorer to access new billing software, what is the best way to do so and is it safe to run this on macbook and ipad if possible??

You can't run IE on an iPad and the only way to use it on a Mac, since it's been discontinued for years for the Mac OS, is to install Windows either via Boot Camp or via running Windows as a virtual machine using something such as Parallels Desktop (my personal preference).

I now have internet thru AT&T Uverse with their wireless router.....do I still need to use my Airport Express for my 2 MACS or can I just unplug it?

You can just unplug the express and use the Uverse wireless or ethernet directly to it.

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

It appears since my Windows PC McAfee AV subscription expired my PC's iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's. My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATV has internet connection thru same router. My iPad can see the ATV but it can't see iT

My Windows PC iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's (in the speaker button in lower right of iTunes), I believe this problem began when my PC's McAfee AV subscription expired. My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATVs have internet connection thru same router so it's not a networking issue. My iPad can see the ATVs but it can't see iTunes so the problem appears to be PC/iTunes related. I turned the PC's firewall off but no joy. I uninstalled the expired McAfee and still no joy. Reboot = no joy. Glass of scotch = no joy. Need help!!

Wanted to add that I turned on Home Sharing w/the same account in iTunes and ATVs. And I've successfully streamed music/photos to my ATVs for over a year.

Internet/Router issues and new "secure email"

I'm supposed to have a 35MPS internet plan. When I switched to the higher speed plan, I paid for the Verizon router and installation. I have both a Mac and Windows 7 Laptops as well as an older netbook. To say that the wireless connectivity sucks would be complimentary. I've used the automatic troubleshooter....I've looked through forums and followed advice on settings etc...with no joy. Before I "upgraded" I had my own belkin n router. Even though the router is downstairs in an office , with the belkin, I could connect on my back deck and all but the furthest upstairs rooms in the house. Since I "upgraded" the wireless won't stay connected with line of sight 8 feet from the router so we have cables trailing thru the living room. For the brief moments when wireless is connected it is slower than dial-up. The cabled connection seldom exceeds 10MBPS ( this is where they tell me the plan is "up to" 35MBPS")
We have a mountain home with DSL and a VERY basic wireless router. Both the Mac and PC connect effortlessly and even my very untechsavvy wife mentioned how much faster the 3MPBS DSL service is than FIOS. Her next question "Tell me again why are we paying so much for FIOS?"
The latest debacle (forget that companies choose to not learn from others mistakes, think Netflix here) is the new secure email settings. I updated my Mac and my android in strict compliance with the Verizon directions and for a few minutes all was well. Today I can't connect through my android. An "authentication error receiving" message show up with a note to check my settings only I HAVEN"T CHANGED MY FLIPPING SETTINGS! Now I have to go in and re-enter my account password several times a day to get into my email account when the PW is stored in my phone! I consantly have to rest the Mac as well. (Hmmm no yahoo, gmail issues and they are free....)
To be fair I haven't called in the issue with the wireless connectivity because I have called before on other issues and frankly I don't have the time to wait on hold. The last time I had a "technical problem" with my service I ended up telling the tier 2 tech how to fix the problem.
As a Quality Assurance /Customer Service professional, the one thing I can tell Verizon is that there is no marketing campaign that will overcome word of mouth reports on poor service and response. I installed FIOS years ago when it was first available in my neighborhood. Service was reliable, customer service responsive and capable. That all seems to have gone by the wayside to improve the bottom line. Volume can go a long way to masking attrition for quite a while, but it isn't sustainable. The cable companies in my area have an even worse reputation which is the only reason I've not yet left...and that's a really crappy reason to stay.
I understand that it's the processes and the system which are hosed up. The poor CS reps are customer facing and they take it on the chin for every corporate decision viewed as stupid by customers. There may be a few really bad customer service reps, but the majority of CS reps DON’T come to work to see how many customers they can **bleep** off. CS Reps are only as good as the process under which they must work. When working with organizations and speaking with CS reps one question I always ask is "How long would you put up with what you put out if you were dealing with another company?" Then I suggest that the leaders/managers attempt to call in with a problem using only the same avenues available to paying customers.
Companies should also must realize that the "cancellation fee" they threaten people with is usually about a month and a half worth of service. After that it's money back in the consumers pocket, or more likely into competitions pocket and not in Verizon’s pocket. It’s the principle of the fee that keeps customers hanging on.
Now that I’ve vented if anyone can tell me a better router to use than the one Verizon gave me, I’m all ears. I really don’t care about remote accessing my DVR.

Since you already have the Belkin and know that it works well, I would suggest hooking that up to the Verizon-supplied router and using that. Turn off the wireless from the Verizon router.

Self-Assigned IP error and no Internet thru cable, but fine via Airport crd

I am having a vert weird problem. Airport base station hooked to a LAN router, new Mac Pro (10.5.1) hooked via cable to Airport base station. I get the self-assigned IP address and no internet. This happens also if I hook Mac Pro directly to router via cable. Oddly enough, during all of this, my iBook connects fine to the Internet, thru the base station using its Airport card. What gives, I may throw in the towel and go out and by an Airport card for my Mac Pro to get Internet connectivity, even though it sits only 6 inches from the base station. Also not, my Power Mac G4 was hooked via cable to the Airport and worked just fine...
If someone discovers a fix, please feel free to email.
Thanks,

Funny you should mention that. This weekend I noticed that I can get an IP address and internet connection, either via the Ethernet cable from my AEBS or wirelessly from the AEBS on my laptop, but only one at a time and it depends which computer (iBook or Mac Pro) is on when the AEBS is toggled on/off. The only exception is my iPod touch, which can get an internet connection no matter which is the Internet connected machine(how's that for bizzare ?).
So, it appears the Linksys router that is hooked to our building's LAN is not distributing IP addresses (disconnecting the router and connecting the AEBS directly to the LAN produces the identical single IP address situation). Since using my Mac Pro with Leopard, I can only set up the AEBS in bridge mode, putting it in the DHCP mode causes the AEBS to be undetecable by the Mac Pro (haven't checked if the iBook sees it).
So I guess the questions are now:
- Shouldn't my router be assigning IP addresses from the LAN, isn't that it's job? Should I try buying a new one since I can't get AEBS to DHCP?
- Why would my iPod touch me immune from the single IP address situation?
- Any idea how to get Leopard to allow my AEBS to use DHCP?
Now I say I can't use DHCP, I mean that if I reset the AEBS, start from scratch and use assisted setup with Airport Admin Utility, and select DHCP at the place where you select Bridge or DHCP mode (or whatever the DHCP mode is called, I forget)the AEBS disappears. If I set bridge mode and then dicker around with DHCP manually, it doesn't disappear, but then it just won't give an IP address to any computer til re-rest and put back in old plain Bridge mode.
I would prefer to run the LAN right into AEBS and have it act as router and all that. I would also be fine with having a router and letting AEBS just bridge, just as long as I can connect to the Internet on more than one computer at a time.
I think I have a basic knowledge of what's going on, although my use of proper terminology is lacking, so feel free to follow up with any questions, I'd be happy to clarify.
This Leopard Mac Pro replaced a PowerMac G4 with Tiger and this all worked fine with it. When I traded computers and didn't get Internet I reset and re-setup the base station, so this might all be a Leopard problem
Of course, it brings me back to shouldn't the router hooked to my building's LAN be distributing IP addresses?
Thank you in advance for your help on this isssue.

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other device connect?
Did the iPod connect to this network before?
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off 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 the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How do you connect a Mac and PC to the internet?

I have a high speed internet cable modem and wish to grant simultaneous access to the internet for both my G5 and PC. I purchased a router and tried to network through that, but it did not work. I am considering trying a wireless router -will this work?
Is it even possible to route a Mac and PC to the same cable modem?

Yes, it is possible. How easy it is depends on your ISP.
Some cable ISP providers program your cable modem to talk to no machine other than the one with which you 'registered' with them. That is, the machine the modem was connected to when internet service was installed.
Remove that machine and connect another, no internet.
If thats the case, then you get around it by whats called MAC address cloning. In the advanced router setup, there should be a tab for that very action. Go there, then enter the MAC address of your primary machine.
(You may also have to set DNS and domain names in the basic router setup.)
I know the Linksys web site provides detailed instructions for configuring their routers for a couple of large ISPs.

Mac mini unable to connect to internet via router

I can't seem to connect to the internet using my mac mini.i use a netgear wireless router which has my imac,and 2 windowsxp PC and a maxtor network drive connected ,these all work on the network.

Hi Dan
Have you confirmed that the Netgear Powerline adaptor works fine with other computers on your network?
On your mini, if you go into System Preferences - Network - Built-in Ethernet, what are your TCP/IP settings? Are they the same as for the iMac?
