Mac connected on internet through router on PC

My Mac (g4, tiger 10.4.4) is connected to the internet with an Ethernet cable that goes into a router connected on a PC (Windows XP). The PC is next door.
The PC receives Internet and sends it to me afterwards through the router. Now, I'm planning to host a website on my G4. How can I find out what the address people and myself will have to type in order to reach my website?
Is this possible first of all? The PC in this case, is that what they call a proxie?
Do I have to add another address in my TCP/IP settings?
Also, with this setting, can I access my Mac through FTP?
Newbie at networking...
Thank you

Can't connect to internet through router

I have a WRT54G v6. I can connect to the internet when directly connecting through my cable modem. When using a wired or wireless connection through the router, I can connect to the router, have an IP address and DNS Server, have followed all the troubleshooting steps from linksys and still cannot get online. Have tried using windows xp and max os x. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

This worked for me maybe it will for you. Power everything down including your modem and router. Then power up the router, wait 2 minutes, and them power up the modem, wait 2 minutes and laslty power up your computer and try your connection. It's an agaonizingly simple slution to a problem that i worked on for 12 hours straight. Hope it helps.

WRT54GS - no internet connection detected yet my wired computer connects to internet through router

I have had my router for a little over a year. I am connected to a wild blue satellite modem. It has worked with no problem for a year. Now, it claims to not detect an internet connection, although the computer wired to the router has no problem connecting to the internet. I just cannot connect wireless to the internet because the router thinks it has no internet connection. I have reset several times, powered on and off modem, followed all instructions for troubleshooting. All lights are lit on both the modem and the router. Do I need to replace the router, or would I encounter the same issues with a new one?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

My other computer is connecting now, although EasyLink still shows no internet connection. However, as long as I can get a connection, I do not care. I have no idea why it is working now and not before. I do not know if my husband's laptop will connect yet, but something seems to be working.

I'm not able to connect to internet through my wifi router, which is Sitecom 150N working fine with pc

I'm not able with ipod touch to connect to internet through my wifi router, which is Sitecom 150N working fine with pc

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address when the iPod requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router model and version (the 150n designation is not a unique model), the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), is MAC address filtering being used, etc.

TS1253 I am connected to internet through modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless. Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
So, do you really want to try this? There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought iPad (today). What hardware do I need to set up wireless LAN so iPad can be used anywhere in house? Will Linksys work with Apple?

I have a Mac connected to Internet via DSL modem. Just bought an iPad2 and need to know what hardware do I need to add wireless LAN so I can use iPad anywhere in the house. Will a Linksys router work with Apple? Can Mac be "hardwired" and iPad wireless? Probably stupid questions but I need to learn. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. You are correct. I was speaking in general terms here based on my experience with the two devices in day to day use, and not in terms of exact specifications.
A better choice would have been to say that the "coverage" is about the same with the edge going to the Extreme....due to the newer mutliple antenna design.
We sure could use more help on the forums. Hope that you will become a regular.
Hi Bob
RF is a minefield, but one that I have worked in for ages, the most critical factor in my experience is location, location, location!
Better routers have more intelligently designed antenna systems, output power as I said is the same, radiation pattern (coverage) is dependent on antennas and physical location more than all other factors.

How to Parameter WRT54GS to connect to Internet through Livebox-2 ?

I intend to connect a network built around the WRT54GS to Internet by passing through a second network who is already connected to Internet through the Orange Livebox-2 (French).
I have a traditional home network with basic shares on the French Orange Livebox-2 and its WiFi.
The computers runs XP - Pro .
My ADSL access is normally through the Livebox-2
(Range of addresses 192.168.1.xxx) and I run DHCP
Working Group "WORKGROUP".
It works without problem (Internet and VoIP telephony) except the Wifi of the Livebox which is known as poor (range and stability).
I also manages a small "pedagogical workshop" for the school who visit my mill.
This network is available to my young visitors based on a (tower) server containing the libraries and teaching materials and its printer. It’s XP - Pro machine. and to allow a maximum of two laptops be WiFi connected.
The second network is built around the Linksys router (wich integrates no modem, simply a router).
The WRT54GS router (rev 6) whose firmware is original Linksys up to date.
I am setting the two Wi-Fi (Livebox 6 Cnl) and Cnl 4 on WRT54GS and different keys (this is manageable without difficulty).
It has its server DHCP and Wi-Fi to connect their machine.
What about the name of this second network group ? Currently “WORKGROUP” as well.
I am setting a range different on the router WRT54GS (192.168.2.xxx) and enabled the DHCP.
This "educational" network works perfectly when alone and separated from the "home" network and doesn’t get connected to Internet…
I want to connect this router Linksys WRT54GS rev6 cascading through the Livebox-2.
Share Internet via the Livebox-2 access.
What about functionality?
What is the connection to setup ?
Should it be simple physical connection with a cable between the yellow ethernet port "2" of the Liveboxbox and the "Internet" connector of the Linksys router?
Is this a good track to explore? I have searched extensively on the Internet but found proposals who are very old and refer to old Livebox... I did test and is not satisfactory...
I have described as well as possible the needs and the config!
It is the experts to speak now !
I am available for further information.
HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THE INTER CONNECTIVITY?

From what I understand, you want to extend your internet connection - from the Orange Livebox-2 to your WRT54GS. You can actually do this by cascading the linksys router to your livebox. There are tow ways in cascading routers: LAN-LAN and LAN-WAN. For more information about cascading routers, you may refer to this link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=104&....

After updated OS X 10.9.5 this afternoon, I couldn't connect to Internet through wifi. Please help me!!!

After I updated osx 10.9.5 I can't connect to internet through wifi. So, what the problem please help me to solve this problem urgent!!!

I've been having horrible wifi connectivity problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Air for the last several weeks. I just realized today that the problems started around the time that I upgraded to 10.9.5 on September 17th.
It's reached the point where I keep Airport Utility up in a corner of my screen so I can see whether I have internet or not before hitting Send or Post.
After reading Linc Davis' post from September 27th, above, I ran the Wireless Diagnostics when I lost internet. Internet access came back while the diagnostics were running. I pressed Continue and lost connection while the second was running. Based on Airport Utility, I do not have connectivity more than I do.
Note that Airport Utility usually shows that it can see the router, but there is no Internet access. Other times it shows that it can not see the router.
Wireless Diagnostics suggested that I restart the router (a new Airport Extreme that I installed in August.) Restarted the router did not solve anything.
All other devices, wired and wireless, are working fine. The affected device is the only one running 10.9.5 wirelessly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to connect to Internet through a LAN

Hi everybody !!!
Please show me how to connect to Internet through a LAN (through another computer).

+ My IP: 192.168 .1.45
+subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
+default getway: 192.168.1.12 (IP of another machine)
+Preferred DNS server: 85.255.192.2
+Alternate DNS server: 195.131.52.130
and in IE i use the proxy server: 192.168.1.12:8080
Thanks alot !!!

Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

Problems with accessing Internet through router (permanent IP)

Hi.
I changed hostname with sys-unconfig. Now computer has permanent IP address (non DHCP) and right hostname.
Before this change I had access to Internet (hostname: "unknown" and DHCP).
My computers access Internet through router.
There is ping from my computer to router and another computer. Also other computer pings my computer.
In DHCP tables my computer does not exist.
I created file /etc/defaultrouter with IP of my router.
Trying to access Internet, web browser (Mozilla) writes: "<site.com> could not be found. Please check name and try afain."
I think there is a problem with DNS.
How to configure my computer on Solaris 10 to access the Internet with current configuration?
Thank you.

To test DNS services without a browser (ie, to see if the
system can be a DNS client), first use the command
'nslookup'
# /usr/sbin/nslookup sun.com
Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
Address: 10.23.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: sun.com
Address: 72.5.124.61
# /usr/sbin/nslookup google.com
Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
Address: 10.23.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.187.99, 72.14.207.99
If this doesn't work, then your system isn't talking to a
DNS server at all at all, so you need to check the contents
of /etc/resolv.conf.
If it does work, use the command 'getent' to check that your
system as a whole is querying DNS for name-IP resolution.
EG.
# getent hosts sun.com
72.5.124.61 sun.com
# getent hosts google.com
64.233.187.99 google.com
72.14.207.99 google.com
64.233.167.99 google.com
If you don't get back IP addresses, your system isn't
correctly configured as a DNS client.
Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf, and find the line
that starts 'hosts'.
If it says
hosts files
then the system is not a DNS client.
To correct this, edit that line to add the word dns on the end:
hosts files dns
That's it. No need to reboot.

How can I keep MAC connected to a specific router on my 3 router home network

How can I keep MAC connected to a specific router on my 3 router home network? Closest router is Airport in same room but keeps jumping to Belkin router one floor below.

In the settings, be sure the Channel your router works on is Different than the other.
Be sure the Security is set, so you login to the correct router with password.
Have the computer remember the home wireless router of your choice. Not just any.
Be sure your router in top in the list of connection sources for your computer.
•Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ
Perhaps you should check into and maybe reset the airport or other base station
to be sure it is correct. Maybe after you check the localized System Preferences
settings for Network, then also into the router. IF it is an Apple AirPort, the info
should be easy to find in the Help viewer in your OS X or online at Apple Support.
AirPort + Wi-Fi = Apple Support:

If you are an experienced user, there are advanced ideas about how to Secure

You can control and secure the computer a few ways. Depending on the vintage

Can't connect to internet through netgear95 router

Can't connect to the internet through a netgear95 router. my PC connects to internet ok, none of my apple stuff (iphone/ ipad) will connect though. Must be something in settings on router.

Hi Scott,
Do you have any Wireless devices that connect to the router? I'm assuming that your PC may connect via Ethernet cable?

Time Capsule will not connect to internet through Bell (Canada) router

Help! I cannot be connected to my Time Capusle and still use the interenet! I have a 1st generation Time Capsule and the router supplied by Bell Canada is a 2Wire Gateway. When I first purchased the Time Capsule, the same thing was happening. Internet would work when connected to Bell router but not when trying to go through Time Capsule. I called Apple and was able to recieve telephone support which fixed the problem. That was close to 2 year ago and never had a problem until now. Internet works fine when connecting to only Bell router, Time Machine works fine when computer is connected to Time Capsule.
The only problem is I can't use the interent when connected to Time Capsule (like before). I have tried everything hard wired and wireless. I have tried hard resets. I went to call Apple again but found out it was going to cost me something like $60.

You must bridge the TC.. is the TC in bridge mode.. ??
What OS is running on the comptuer?
In v5 utility go to manual setup.. internet connection.. connection sharing.. off bridge mode.
In v6 utility go to DHCP and NAT page.. select router mode off bridge mode.
Once in bridge the TC should work.. remember the gen1 TC is now at least 1year past its die date.. it will become less and less reliable as time goes on.. no matter what you do.
