Laptop connects to the network, but not the internet

I recently bought a Toshiba Satelite A135-S4666, and since I got it and got the router set up with the laptop, the internet on the laptop quits responding after about 30 min to 1 hr. of the laptop being on.
I had a friend set up the modem manually using the 192.168.1.1 IP address, so I'm pretty sure that none of my settings are wrong. I also have a desktop connected with hard lines to the router, and I never have a problem.
At this point, I am really irritated because I can't ever use the laptop for more than a few minutes without having to keep re-booting. I don't know if it's a hardware problem or a settings problem. I've entertained the idea of backing up all my docs from the laptop and restoring it from the disc that was in the box when I bought it, but I wonder if that will even work.
Has anyone out there experienced this problem, or know how I can fix it as painlessly as possible?

I have a client with the same problem. I found a message in a forum on TechIMO saying the problem was Vista TCP/IP packets 'fall apart' while undergoing the firewall's SPI. I haven't found any mention of it on the Linksys website which makes me wonder if the guy knew what he was talking about, but it sounds possible.
I'm certain it's something in the interaction between Vista & the WRT54G as the other computers on the network (all XP) work fine.

Airport Connects to WAP Network but not to internet

I have been using the same network and Airport Extreme Base station for about as long as I've had my computer (coming close to three years). It's never had an extended problem with it. Last week or so, it stopped allowing me to connect to the internet. Both the cable modem and base station are working properly to my knowledge and I have not changed any of the settings. I am able to connect to the base station and it tells me that I am connected through my network to the internet (through ethernet). However, when I click on the internet (any application) it just takes forever to load, whereas if I join a different, unsecured network, the internet works just fine.
Not sure if this is related but I also am having trouble with wired internet connections. I bring my computer to school and plug it into the school connection in my lab and the internet works, but the "built-in ethernet" does not seem to be present at all times and at others it does not detect the network.
I am not very good with setting up IP addresses and the like so I was unable to use the troubleshooting page to help me with this problem. However, I am competent in fixing other kinds of issues, so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear.

Same issues, worked fine for a year, no sudden changes etc. No no internet IP assigned, strange thing is that the WAN spits out a connection to my VOIP phone.
What gives?

Can connect to wireless network but not to internet

Ok, so I bought a new AEBS and have finally managed to get it set up with my cable modem, and with security on so that the light is green, and not amber... the only problem now is that although I can connect to the wireless network that i have created using the base station, I cannot connect to the internet through it using my MacBook.
I don't have problem connecting my iMac to the net wirelessly using the base unit so am confused.
Anyone got any ideas?

We have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong?

we have a movie downloaded on a laptop connected to the internet pluged into our router in the basement and an apple tv upstairs trying to play the movie through home sharing but it wont play. can anyone tell me whats wrong? it comes to the last loading page where it shows the desscription of the movie befor it acually plays.

It can come about without any change done by the user, and it's not just from other networks. The placement of the router can also affect performance. Also make sure router is up to date.
Apart from that would be the reboots.

Loss of connectivity of a wireless network when more than one laptop connects to the internet.

Hi, I have a wired network of 20 computers controlled by a net gear wired router from a DSL modem. The router is plugged into a hub. I have a linksys router WRT54GX4 which is plugged into the hub to allow wireless internet access. The DHCP has been disabled on the wireless router. I have added three access points WAP54G which are plugged into the wired network in outer rooms to expand the wireless network. The wireless network works just fine with only one laptop connected to the internet but when two laptops connect they both lose connectivity. That is my problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? The IP address of the wired router is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of the wireless router is 192.168.2.3, the IP address of the access points are 192.168.2.245, 192.168.2.246, 192.168.2.247. All the devices are on channel 11. All have the same SSID. The default gateway on the access points is 192.168.2.1. It is an unsecured network. Please help. Thanks Peter Z

Hi MnM Show,
Tim is correct, if you are using ISCSI Storage and using the network to get to it, it is recommended that the iSCSI Storage fabric have a dedicated and isolated network. This
network should be disabled for Cluster communications so that the network is dedicated to only storage related traffic.
This prevents intra-cluster communication as well as CSV traffic from flowing over same network. During the creation of the Cluster, ISCSI traffic will be detected and the network
will be disabled from Cluster use. This network should set to lowest in the binding order.

Rebooted my WRT160N, now my laptop connects to my network but won't connect to the internet

I forgot my original network password so I rebooted my wirless router, now my computer reconizes my home's wireless network and connects to it (accepted the new password and everything), but when I open my browser it can't connect to the internet. My internet connection still works when I plug my laptop directly into my cable modem, and my laptop says I'm connected to my wireless network, so I don't know what the problem is here.
I've been tearing my hair out for the last few hours trying to figure out a way to fix this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Solved!

CONNECTS TO NETWORK BUT NOT TO INTERNET

Hello, PLEASE HELP
we are trying to get my wife’s computer connected to the internet.
We have an Airport Extreme network that i use for my G5/ OS 10.4.5... and she is using Windows XP Professional on her laptop..
The laptop connects fine to our home network... but will not connect to the internet via IE..
Do I need to download some kind of driver for the Airport to enable it to connect via windows ?
any other ideas ?
Thank you so much
IBM think pad Windows XP Pro
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

After reading some of the similar topics on the
Board, I have taken the password off my system. still
no joy..the IBM thinkpad does not recognize the
wireless system.. and I have moved it next to the
airport to assure an adequate S/N ratio
You said before it was connecting to the wireless network, you are saying now it isn't?
Is the physical switch for the wireless in the on position?
next step is to try to get access by connecting a USB
cable to the rear of the Airport Extreme and then to
my wife’s computer..
do you think this may work better ?
Won't work, the USB port is for a printer.
You can use an ethernet cable from the LAN port and that should work.

Can connect to network, but not to internet

I have a wireless network set up with four macs connecting to it. Three of the macs can connect to the network and access the internet.
My Black Macbook can connect to the network, but when I open Safari or any other program that connects to the internet I cannot actually get on the internet. For example, I open safari and after a few minutes it says I am not connected to the internet.
I can connect to my neighbor's unprotected wireless network and have no problem getting on the internet with that connection.
I have tried turning the computer off and on and turning the airport off and on and it does not solve anything. I did not do anything to the compueter, it just started this problem out of the blue.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Do you have IP address limits ? Say I have 5 IP
addresses limit.
That is not it. And, I did not change anything before it just stopped working. The strange thing it is only within my wireless network that I can't access the internet. I eventually get the "you are not connected to the internet" screen each time I try to bring up a web page.

New Macbook Pro Connects to Network but not to Internet

I just got a new Macbook pro and I transferred everything from my old macbook pro from a timemachine backup. The internet works fine on my old macbook pro (running 10.5.8) but if I turn on the airport in my new macbook neither machine can connect to the internet. It also makes the internet stop working on my roommates pc. All machines can see the wireless network, just not the internet. Tethering from iPhone works fine.
I've given both macbooks separate ip addresses. Restarted the modem. Run network diagnostics (the server and internet dots are yellow), deleted all other saved networks and restarted, but none of that is working. The new Macbook keeps crashing our internet connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You transferred your network PPC connection to your Intel OS X. Go to the blog How I fixed my dropping wireless Airport connection problem in Snow Leopard and follow there steps in resetting the preferences for the Airport card.
If the non of these steps work, take it to Apple ASAP.

Connects to Airport extreme but not to internet

Whenever I close my laptop and reopen, I lose internet connection thru the airport extreme and I won't get it back. It seems that I will have connection to the Airport Extreme, but not the internet.
Sometimes what fixes it is turning the airport off and then on again (sometimes multiple times). Usually restarting the computer fixes it (but not always).
What happens is this (viewing Sysprefs/network/airport/network status and "internet connect"): the internet connect will report connecting...then will announce "connected", but show no "time elapsed" at the same time the Net status will read "airport is connected to ..network...with it's own IP address and may or may not be connected to the internet" And I won't be.
Then, when it starts working again (after the abovementioned turning off/on) it will start counting time elapsed, then in Net Status it will say "airport connected to ..network. you are connected to the internet via airport."
Also, whenever I use "internet connect" to turn the airport off, when I turn it back on again I will not have internet access, just the messages I list above. The "strenth meter" will say my signal is good (which it should be) and it says I am connected but doesn't show "elapsed time" nor will I have actual internet access.
Again, restarting the computer will usually work (less often, logging out then back in).
Another strange symptom-- When I hit the "disconnect" button under the airport section of "internet connect" it disconnects, then reconnects immediately. When I hit the disconnect button w/ in the Sysprefs/network/airport...etc, it does nothing but bring to the front window the "internet connect" window. So the only way to "disconnect" is to turn off the airport (which results in the above problem).
Side note--I am in the habit of turning off the airport (not the base, but from the computer) when I don't plan on using it for security-- am I being excessively paranoid? I do have my firewall in operation. Should I just leave it (being the airport) on all the time (in your humble opinion?
Sorry if this makes no sense or rambles, it is now 5:30 am and She Who Must Be Obeyed will be getting up in about an hour wanting to know if I fixed the computer yet. I'm tired.
Thank you in advance.

AXn connecting to main AE, but not to internet?d

I have a main airport extreme running in n only mode (2.4) and to allow to extend the network. I have an AEx also in n mode set to extend this network. I have a Powermac that I want to ethernet into the AEx. It gets an ip address, but can't connect to the internet (nothing resolves). My laptop and powermac can see each other locally, but it seems like the AEx isn't connecting to the internet correctly. If I set my laptop to connect to the AEx, it also can't get out, yet it still sees the powermac. Any ideas?

Can connect to iTunes radio, but not to internet and email

I connect to the internet with the Airport Extreme card in my iMac, via a Linksys wireless router, connected to a Motorola cable modem. I have to unplug and re-plug in the modem several times a day, because I can't get online with Safari, nor can I get/send email. What's weird is that I have a full signal on the Airport, and the Status pane in Network prefs says, "You are connected to the Internet via Airport." Also, I am often listening to an iTunes radio station without interruption when this happens. Just today, I left iTunes radio playing while I went a away for a couple hours (for the cat, dontcha know). When I got back, the radio was still going, but I couldn't get online.
I have contacted my ISP, and nothing seems to be wrong from their end. Network diagnostics cannot fix the problem. I am in a rural area with no neighbors that would have any networks interfering, and my modem and router are away from the TV and other electronics.
Any ideas? Should I get an Airport base station? Are there any settings on the Mac which would keep the internet connected? My location is et to automatic.

if you are able to go online with wired connection ..... access router setup page .... configure the wireless settings .... such as SSID & wireless security ....
Click save settings ... on the wireless computers .... try to connect to the wireless network ... if you are using security make sure to use correct key ....
See if it works ....

I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

MY PROBLEM
I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
I have rebooted router many times, nothing
I have changed my home router, nothing
I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

You are correct. Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases. You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

Windows 8 can either launch vm in hyper-v or connect to wifi networks, but not both. Needs a reboot to switch mode. Any idea?

Hello guys,
New here for a problem I think is quite weird. Got the MBA 2013 i7
When I boot Windows from OS X > Startup Disk > Boot Windows, I can launch a virtual machine in hyper-V, so that's cool, but I can't see an wifi networks available, so no internet.
If I reboot to Windows directly from Windows (bootcamp options), I connect without pain to any wifi but I cannot launch a vm in Hyper-V anymore (the Windows Phone 8 emulator to be precise). It says hardward virtualization is not enabled in BIOS.
Seems to me it loads either the wifi driver, either the VT-x. Any ideas?

People I have some good news!!! The problem is in BootCamp!!!!!!
I'm now able to run the Windows Phone emulator on a Windows 8.1 bootcamp!
This is what you have to do.... for everytime you want to use the emulator you must follow this steps:
- Shut computer completly off;
- turn it on and hold the Alt key to boot in MAC OS;
- go to settings, bootcamp and choose Windows, then click restart.
On this session you will be able to run the emulator with no problems!!!! if you turn off your computer and boot automatically to windows the error will appear again!
Hope I helped out some of you!!!

IPAD WILL CONNECT TO OPEN NETWORK BUT NOT HOME NETWORKS

My ipad 2 has stopped connecting to my home network ( Plusnet ) will also not connect to Virgin or Sky home networks but will connect to Asda Walmart
open network. I have tried reset network,forget network, airplane mode on and off and reset device but nothing seems to work. I have version 8.1.2 and the model number is MC706B/A and would be grateful for any advice.

When you keyed in your password for your router when you were prompted to enter a password on iPad, what did you enter? If your router is recognized on your computer as say, Harry's Internet, that's not the password iPad is seeking. What iPad is looking for is the encryption key from your router. And that encryption key is often a 13 digit code comprised of numbers and letters.

MacBook automaticlly connects to wireless network, but not mine

At home when I start my MacBook, it sometimes connects to the neighbors wireless network (not protected at all) rather than to ours. It does that all by itself, without me doing anything. Can I tell my computer to only connect to our network, or at least to as for a confirm if it wants to connect somewhere else?
