Just set up our Apple TV and it works fine for NetFlix.  However want to stream photos and I Tune library from home computer but this computer accesses the internet thru a VPR at my wife's place of enployment. Other than a 2nd computer any suggestions?R

Just set up Apple TV on home network. Works fine for NetFlix but we can't stream I Tune libruary or digital photos thru it to our home TV as because of my wife's work we bypass COX and access the internet thru a VPN offered by her employer.  Was told we either have to buy a second computer (two expensive for just these two functions) or keep turning on and off the VPN(not practical). Any other ideas? Thanks

Does she need to access the internet through her employer, or is she just trying to access her internal network at work?
If it's the latter, split-stream VPN clients (like Cisco AnyConnect) will split traffic so that only that directed at a particlar domain gets tunneled. 
I have an AnyConnect client at home, but I normally only activate it when I'm using it, so I've never tested it with HomeSharing.  I'm currently traveling, but when I get home tomorrow, I'll try it out and let you know if it works.  If it does, your wife can check with her employer to see if she can configure AnyConnect to work with them.

  • MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

    my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

    I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,
    Dennis

  • I downloaded the latest Firefox security update and my computer will no longer access the internet in any fashion, despite the fact that I'm still connected to the internet. Other browsers no longer work either.

    Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.

    What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
    Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
    You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it.

  • I installed 7.1.2 update for my iphone5 and I have problems.   I can no longer access the internet on my phone.  My wifi is fine, and I've noticed that there is no longer any indication of "LTE" on my phone.

    Against my better judgement, I installed update 7.1.2 on my iphone5, and can no longer access the intenet.  I've dis some searching for a solution, but nothing works.  What has this happened?  And how can I fix it?

    LTE indicates cellular. Tap Settings > Cellular then switch Cellular Data ON.
    If your Wi-Fi is working, then you should be able to access the internet.
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    * No data is lost due to a reset

  • TS1398 my ipad is connected to my wifi, but can't access the internet.

    When I am in the same room as my wireless router, my Ipad accesses the internet correctly. When I go into a room where my Ipad and laptop couldn't reach my router, I installed an extender. Now, my laptop and my wife's Ipad can access the internet, but my Ipad can't. What should I do?

    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

  • TS3274 Ipad says "no Sim". have to restart and it works fine for awhile

    Ipad says no sim. when I turn off and restart it works fine for a while then does same thing. cleaned sim and reinstalled.

    Rather than just turning it off and on, try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.
    If that doesn't help, then the next step is to retore it to the factory settings. Then you can restore it to a previous backup (which may see the issue return) or set it up as a new iPad again.

  • Nforce 3 Platninum and 6800GT works fine for a week or so then fails to boot.

    Hi everyone,
    I have read pretty much all the posts on the forum, but none show the exact same problem as mine, as far as I can see.
    I have an MSI Nforce 3 plat mobo (with latest BIOS), which is turning out to be the worst investment I ever got.
    My specs are as follows:
    2x512MB Kingston ram
    AMD 3.5
    pixelview 6800gt
    raptor HD
    thermaltake 480W PS
    I upgraded to the nforce 3 for the 939pin socket for my AMD chip.  I had constant freezing, so my old memory I had to chuck and buy 1GB of Kingston ram.  Using my old ATI 9800pro my system was stable. Absolutely no crashes.  I decide to buy a pixel view 6800GT AGP card to upgrade.  Cool.  Plug it in, reload windows (latest WHQL drivers from NVIDIA).  Everthing is fine, for about a week.  Then bad things start to happen.  The symptoms are:
    Turn machine on, BIOS check all ok, machine does DMI listing. As soon as the "starting windows" screen comes up, the video display goes corrupt.  Either white, with diagonal lines, or windows XP logo all over the screen several times and corrupted.  The machine does boot into windows, but the screen is blank or corrupted.  I hear the windows startup sound click in.  Press the power button, shut down the machine.  Reboot.  It usually comes up fine.
    I thought initially it was the graphics card, so I swapped it out. Reloaded windows. All works ok for about a week. Then, again same problem.  Windows event viewer shows no errors.
    My question is this: can this be fixed or is it hardware incompatibility.  If so, can I fix it tweaking the mobo settings.  I have tried the AGP fast writes, didn't work.  This looks like intrinsic Hardware incompatibility, but if it is this, why does it work for a week without any problems, and then it gets worse and worse and worse.
    If this is a hardware problem, what is the cheapest way to get out of this.  Is MSI nforce 4 any better or do I ditch pc gaming all together.  I have been gaming from XT days, and I have to say, I am totally disheartened with this whole mess.  The one thing in my life that I do want control of is a bootable, reliable PC to relax with at the end of the day.  At the moment, I just shed tears as it is turning out to be a costly nightmare.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  My friend has offered to buy the 6800GT from me, and give me my old 9800Pro back.  Should i do this???
    Thanks guys
    John

    Hi Makisst,
    Thanks for the reply.
    System specs are as follows:
    AMD 3500 64
    MSI Neo Platinum (nforce3)
    Creative labs Audigy2 pci card
    Pixelview 6800GT AGP 256MB
    Kingston DDR400 512Mb PC3200 400Mhz x2
    MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM 939 pin  (MS-7025-010)
    Western Digital Raptor™ 74.0Gb 10,000RPM SATA150
    Themaltake 480W power supply.
    I have 2 extra ATA HDs, which I have not added to the system to rule those out.
    I have a DVD player (bog standard MSI) and a CD burner (not plugged in so as to rule this out).
    The only thing I have not tried is removing the sound card (audigy 2).  What is driving me absolutely nuts is that the machine works fine for a week.  Then there is a slow degrade.  First boot, scrambled screen, second boot fine.  Then a few days later, it will only boot the thrid time around.  Then after 2 weeks, it won't boot at all.
    I have tried this card in another persons machine (the 6800GT that is), and it boots fine.
    I can honestly say I have not tried playing with the BIOS settings except for AGP fast writes, as it was working fine with the Radeon 9800 pro.  I have done two full HD formats, and completely wiped the Raptor twice now. 
    I shall have a look at the BIOS settings you recommended tonight, and see if they make a difference.  I am, to be 100% honest, a little bit scared of playing with the BIOS settings, as I really don't know what I am doing.  I see that the ppl I bought the machine off have set timings in the BIOS to 3-3-8-3 (I think, I will confirm this tomorrow), so should I leave these settings?
    I shall also remove the Audigy 2 card and see what happens.  System properties show machine has no conflicts though.  It is almost like the card is not initialising correctly.  Why this happens only after 1 week though I have no idea.  This is the third time it has started happening after 1 week. 
    The only extra software loaded is Norton, Win XP SP2 and directX9.  I really have not had it stable enough to start loading extra software.  I am getting too tired after reloading for the third time in 6 weeks.
    I will let you know tomorrow either way.
    Many thanks
    John

    this can not be a hard problem to solve, but i need help

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I cannot access the Internet even though I have a wifi connection

    I'll bet this question has been asked before, apologies for any redundancy. The facts:
    OS 10.9.3, Firefox (though the problem is also true for Safari).
    I connect to wifi at me guest house here in Hoi An, Vietnam, but cannot access any websites at all. None of the other guests here have the same problem, for that reason, as well as based on my experience the last two months travelling in this country, I do not think it is the isp.
    I've followed all of the suggestions at support.apple.com/kb/HT4628. Some random settings:
    Location: Automatic
    TCP/IP settings--Configure IPv4 Using DHCP, but no DHCP Client ID.
    Configure IPv6: Ling-local only.
    DNS server: the same IP as for IPv4
    None of the proxies are checked, where it says @Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains, there ".local, 169.254/16".
    And all I do is watch the Firefox rotating symbol go round and round and round.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Lindy

    Linc:
    Apologies for the slow reply, I've spent the last few days in a remote part of a national park here in Vietnam, the first time I've been in a location without wifi in this wifi-positive country.
    Answer to your question: I ran Network Diagnostics three times before I started this discussion thread, and three times got to the message stating that diagnostics could not locate a problem or offer a solution.
    End result: all I had to do was log into a different wifi router. The guest house where I had the problem had two routers, and I could not access the Internet from either one. Again, very strange because four other people occupying the same building had no problems.
    But when I tried accessing the net from a coffee shop a quarter-mile away, no problem. And no problem from my current hotel.
    DNS? A firewall? Until the problem arises again, and hopefully it won't, I will remain clueless.
    Thanks for your help.
