IPhone connects to network but do not get router,DNS address

I can connect to wireless networks no problem, however DHCP does not work properly at all. I get a an IP address and netmask address but this does not correspond to computers already on the network and I cannot connect to the internet.
i do not receive any DNS or router address on any network (checked a friends iPhone and they have the same problem).
Only if I go to static and manually enter a correct ip address, netmask,router and DNS can i actually surf the web!
I cant see any settings to tweak or change to fix this. anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix?

Works for us using pptp-vpn by propagation the nameserver through radius.

  • HELP! Airport connects to network but still cannot get online

    I have a g3 crt 400mhz running OSX 10.3.9. I added an airport card. It sees networks and connects to mine but when I load Safari or Firefox it errors out saying cannot find server. My main PC can see the mac so I'm not sure what I'm what else to check. do I need to delete .plist files. Can anyone help resolve this issue?
    Thanks

    Seems like you are not getting the DNS address or addresses.
    apple > system preferences > network
    Double click on network connection you are using.
    Pick the TCP/IP tab.
    Verify that you have a DNS Server. If you do not, look on your windows machine and see what the net address is. You can also pick using DHCF and still enter you DNS server address.
    You can use harddrive > applications > utilities > network utility to diagnose the situation.
    You can ping google.com. Result:

    If pinging 17.254.3.183 works but pinging apple.com doesn't. You have a bad DNS Server address.
    BDAqua suggests in a post.
    Put these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers for a try...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Then try Safari.
    not correct...

  • My wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router

    my wifi bar isnt showing up at the top and i cant connect to internet but its not my router? HELP HOW DO i get wifi back

    I recommend that you start with taking a look at the Apple Support article to help you troubleshoot what the issue may be.
    If that still doesn't resolve the issue, we will need to get the AirPort icon back on the OS X menu bar to continue. Please try the following:
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar (checked)

  • EA6900 Bridge mode setup - not getting proper DNS addresse

    I have an EA6900 that I am trying to use just as an access point (have an existing sonicwall as my internet connection / router device)
    Here are the steps I have completed 
    I have logged in to the modem, and created a modem password - can log into modem wirelessly with modem password
    I went into the connectivity settings and selec ted bridge mode - with auto IPv4 settings
        I get the right IP address segment on my laptop, but the DNS addresses are not from my network (not even the settings from my sonicwall)
    I then set the IPv4 settings manually, and enterred a static IPv4 address, as well as the gateway (as my sonicwall), and the DNS addresses of 2 of my servers as well as an external DNS server address
    When I connect to the EA6900 with a laptop, I still do not get the DNS addresses I have enterred in the fields on the EA6900 connectivity setup screen
    I even tried to enter my server as a gateway - not the sonicwall, and that does not work either (laptop gets the same DNS server addresses)

    "I have logged in to the modem, and created a modem password - can log into modem wirelessly with modem password" Modem? or do you mean the Router? Modem and router are two different things.
    That DNS are you seeing on the devices?

  • Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet

    I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected. I have tried changing some of my settings but can only get as far as the message 'Cannot open page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' I also have the same problem with my Iphone and Ipod touch, I have never tried to sort these as don't need the internet on them. I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
    Many thanks

    What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
    If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
    Please report what you see there.
    Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
    Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
    When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

  • Problem: airport extreme connects to network, but does not communicate

    I have been able to communicate via wireless networks using my airport extreme-enabled iBook G4... that is, until Thursday. (Or about Thursday... maybe it was Wednesday. Somewhere around then.)
    Now I can connect to a wireless network, but I am unable to communicate across the connection. ping fails. Web sites don't load--it appears the DNS lookup fails. Curiously, if I look at the network activity in the Activity Monitor I see a bunch of little bits of data getting sent and received, generally in the range of 20-100 bytes per second, though there is no obvious need for network activity. (Maybe my computer is attempting to get DNS info and such?) When things were working previously, a quiet system meant no network activity.
    Further muddying the waters, I can connect and communicate via wireless networks I had not connected to prior to Thursday. Today I went to three different wireless hotspots I had not connected to before, and was able to connect and communicate--everything worked fine at all three. But if I connect to any wireless networks I had previously connected to before Thursday, I get the problem I describe above.
    I did not knowingly make any networking changes on Thursday. I did, however, run Disk Utility's "Repair file permissions" around that time, due to problems with iTunes 7. Today I ran "Repair disk" in Disk Utility but no problems were found or fixed.
    My best guess is that some airport settings were corrupted for existing wireless networks on my computer sometime on Thursday, and this corrupted data is persisting. However, I have not been able to identify where that data would be.
    I deleted com.apple.airport.preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration, but that didn't fix the problem. (Of course, when Mac OS recreated these files it could have been from corrupted cached data, I suppose.)
    Dial-up access works fine.
    One last thing, I'm getting the following error message in /private/var/log/system.log when I connect to a network:
    Sep 22 20:49:41 localhost mach_init[2]: Server 2427 in bootstrap d03 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd": exited as a result of signal 1 [pid 515]
    However, I get the same message when I connect via dial-up (which is working OK), so I don't think that's related.
    Any ideas?

  • Users of Windows 7 Computers connected to Domain but can not get Internet Randomly

    After crash of DC, I have replaced the domain controller server 2008 with another machine but with same name. I got trust relationship issue, which I resolved by disjoining and rejoining. After this I am facing below mentioned issue on computers randomly.
    High Privileges users have no issue with internet access. Low privileges users can not access internet on workstations randomly. Users login properly, all group policy settings applied to them. but internet does not work with them using Internet Explorer
    and Google Chrome. All pings work fine. I viewed the proxy settings by command line as proxy settings are disabled for low privileges users. It was correct but still internet was not working. While over Firefox by adding manually proxy(not set
    through group policy), internet works.
    When I tried to login through a new user which has not logged in over affected machine. Internet works. After logging off by new user and logging on old users (already created profiles), internet starts working for them too. I am afraid may this trick does
    not work on other machines.
    Now I want to know, if above mentioned trick does not work what should I do to activate the internet. What is the root cause of this issue.

    Hi,
    Did you mean you set the same proxy, high privileges user could keep connection and low privileges user drop connection randomly? At the same time, Firefox also could keep connection, right?
    Please try to reset Winsock and DNS for a test on problematic computer. Open command prompt with Administrator Previleges, then type the following commands.
    netsh int reset  
    ipconfig /flushdns   
    Besides that, update the network driver for test.

Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

    I just purchased an Apple TV.  I have a pc running windows 7.  It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router.  I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

    I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked.  To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open.  It also needs to be on the same network.  My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not.  He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band.  Hope this helps.

    Set TC and wireless names to short, no spaces, no special characters.. ie pure alphanumeric.
    Lock the wireless to fixed channels.. only 2.4ghz matters.. as iphone cannot connect to 5ghz.
    Try 6, 11 first then 1. I think bluetooth may be set to use lower channels.
    That seems to have fixed it for most people.

  • Just got comcast triple play.  Original ipad sees network but will not connect.

    Just got comcast triple play.  Original ipad sees network 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
