Internet won't connect, but I am connected to WiFi

The internet won't connect on my Ipod Touch gen3. I have had it for a while, and usually works just fine. It worked just fine yesterday, and suddenly today it wouldn't connect. I am currently using WiFi on my laptop from same connection, and it works good on here. But on my Touch when i go to Safari, it says it can't connect to the server. Even though it says it's connected to WiFi with a strong signal.
Internet Provider: Frontier
DSL: Linksys
DHCP
IP Address: 173.87.27.198
Subnet Mask: 255.255.252.0
Router: 173.87.24.1
DNS: 66.133.150.12, 66.133.170.2
HTTP Proxy: Off
WiFi Address: D4:9A:20:A4:49:AC

The IP address starting with 169 is self-assigned and means that your router is not giving your iPod Touch an IP address via DHCP. In this condition you will not be able to access the Internet.
You might try powering down and restarting your router and see if the problem is corrected (your IP address should be something like 192.168.1.x and you should see an address for the router, DNS, etc.). Reset the network settings on your iPod before attempting to connect.
If this doesn't solve your problem test your iPod on another network (Starbucks, Borders, etc.). If it works there then you may need a new router. If it does not work on other networks your iPod may need repair.
By the way, your problem is different from the OP.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

Since I installed Mountain Lion, last night, the Internet icon shows an exclamation sign, as if there's no internet connection, but it's connected. Has any one had this situation.

Ok, I'm stupid.
Found another thread about this and typing 'install OS X Lion' in spotlight did the job.

Power cycle (turn off and on) the router. In System Preferences -> Network, under WiFi does it say Self-Assigned IP Address? Click where it says location in the network's pane of WiFi, click edit location, click the plus icon and type 'test' and press done, then press apply on the next window. Click advanced then in the preferred networks tab, make sure your wifi network is at the top of the list, if it's not then drag it to the top, on the TCP/IP tab, click renew DHCP lease, on the DNS tab, click the plus icon at the bottom left, add two new dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, press OK, then press APPLY on the next window. restart the mac and see if it's fixed.

HT1222 Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it will show that it's connected but will not connect.

Certain wifi's will not work on my iPad, it shows it's connected but will not connect.

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

A slow Internet connection in between both parties is a typical reason for the connection taking "forever".

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

HP Pavillion - Web Pages Won't Load but I'm Connected to the Internet

I was on the internet and then the page seemed to lock up. I closed the browser and reopened it and now I cannot get any web pages to load at all either in I.E. or Firefox. It just says Waiting for "website" and that is it. My other laptop connects to the internet fine using the same modem/router so it is a computer issue. Not sure how it goes from working one minute to not the next. It is a HP Pavillion G7-2270. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your notebook shows it is connected but you are unable to browse. Can you tell me which version of Windows you are using? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running? Here are some popular fixes for networking issues: Powercycle the network:
1. Shut down your notebook.
2. Unplug the power to your router.
3. Unplug the power to your modem.
4. Wait at least 45 seconds.
5. Plug in the modem, and wait for it to come back online.
6. Plug in the router, and wait for it to come back online.
7. Turn on your notebook, and test your connection.
Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
It may also help to reset the winsock catalogue:
1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test. If it seems to be connected but won't browse, flush the DNS:1. Go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and chose Run as administrator.
3. In the window that opens type "ipconfig /flushdns" without quotes, and press enter.
4. Restart your PC and test.
Reinstall the network adapter drivers:
1. Download the drivers from here but do not run them yet.
2. Go to your start screen/menu and type Device Manager.
3. Expand Network adapters.
4. Right click on the wireless/ethernet adapter and choose Uninstall.
5. Run the downloaded drivers from step 1.
6. Restart your PC and test.
If those three steps do not resolve the issue, try this document published by Microsoft for networking issues: Wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the dropdown in the upper-right corner of the document. Let me know if that helps!

Airport card connected but safari not connected to internet

Running os 10.4.1 on IMAC g5 with airport card.
i am having some wireless network issues. when i try to connect to the linksys router that my airport card locates it tells me that i am connected to the network; but when i try to load a page in Safari it tells me that i am not connected to the internet. Internet Explorer gives me the same message.
i have been able to test my airport card by logging into another (neighbor's) network (just for testing). it received DHCP from that router and assigned a 198.162.x.x. IP address for my computer. i originally had the same issue as far as being connected but safari wouldnt open web pages. i manually plugged in DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from OPEN DNS.com and Safari instantly loaded web pages.
when i try to do the same on the linksys network my airport card connects but Safari once again will not connect to the internet. I am receiving a DHCP IP address automatically from that router but cannot connect to the internet...
PLEASE HELP ME (it's driving me crazy!)

Oh man... since my last post (all of 15 minutes ago) my iMac now cannot connect to the network at all. The network status menu widget shows it as being connected (sometimes), but it can't actually connect to anything.
Just as an experiment, I turned off MAC address filtering on the base station. Didn't help.

Wifi says connected but can't connect to internet, email etc

Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to the WiFi.

Network says I'm connected but will not connect to internet

My iMac (2007 w/OSX 10.6.8, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB) suddenly stopped connecting to the Internet even though it says "airport is connected & Ethernet is connected" I spent and hour + with tech support from Our ISP, took it to the local Athorized Mac seller I bought it from and it worked fine with their connection. also all other computers in our home work fine from my iPad to ROKU. is ther a way of removing previous network settings and then running the setup help from scratch? It just doesn't make sence, some times a RSS will open without any pictures but when I try to go to one the links I get the same old "You are not connected to the Internet and the Network Diagnostics... Button appears. Trying to go to any regular web page never works BTW I always get the previous mentioned message. thank you for reading and I hope someone can help me fix this what I think is a simple but out of my realm of ability to fix and I don't want to make it worse !

Hi… I would suggest you to delete preferred wireless networks on your wireless laptop, and then try to reconnect to the wireless network. Also check what ip address you are getting, is it a valid ip address from the router. Try deleting cookies in internet explorer. Then check the connection. You cannot change anything on the router because other two computers are working fine.

Internet won't connect, but I am connected to WiFi
