Mac Mini wont connect to the internet both wired or wifi! Any help?

My other two Macbooks will connect to the net both wired and wifi. As of this morning my Mac Mini just stopped connecting all together. I have version 10.6.8. I only really use the Mac Mini to browse the web and watch movies off of my external hard drive.
I've tried connecting to another wireless network and the same thing happens. I tried connecting to different ports on my router and nothing. My Macbooks have zero issues with connecting. Any ideas???

if you are using Airport it has problems connecting to some modems on dsl systems.

  • Sometimes my mac mini wont connect to the internet

    I have a 2008 mac mini that for the past two years has had this reoccuring problem. When I try to connect to the internet via my home wifi extreme system, i get an error saying connection timeout, which will not allow me to connect. I know its not a problem with the wifi system because the 3 other people using the system get access to wifi fine. Sometimes i can solve this problem with my computer by restarting it, but most of the times if I leave it alseep for a couple hours it also solves the problem, but like I said not always.
    Can anyone please help?

  • Satellite L735 won't connect to the internet (both wired and wireless)

    Hi,
    I have a brand new Satellite L735, and I'm having a lot of trouble with the internet connections.
    When I connect it to a wireless network it finds the profile and connects to it but then still says "no internet access" for both IPv4 qnd IPv6 connectivity statuses.
    I have tried troubleshooting, turing off the computer and wireless network and back on, but it's stil not working.
    The same happens with the workplace wireless, despite other computers connecting to it fine (so it doesn't come from the networks). I've also tried connecting it at work with an ethernet cable but no luck.
    I have the Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless network adapter and the Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast ethernet controller.
    I'm not sure what to do as the laptop is new and so it shouldn't need updates, all the settings are default, etc. I'd very much appreciate any help on this!

    Hi
    Uninstall or disable the TCP/IPv6 and use only the TCP/IPv4 protocol.
    Furthermore check if in TCP/IPv4 properties the IP address and other settings are set to assign automatically
    Furthermore I would recommend checking the firewall and some security applications which could be preinstalled on the notebook.
    It could be possible that antivirus or firewall prevent the notebook from connecting to internet.

  • Mac-Mini wont connect to wired ethernet

    I can not get my Mac-Mini to connect to the internet via a wired ethernet cable. When I try to connect it says it is getting an IP address and then boots out and tries again. Its a never ending cycle. It does this in both OS X, and Windows. Do I have a bum network card?

    Hi Steve,
    Some ISPs can be fussy about the number of devices you connect to the internet.
    If the Modem routes then it tends to be this network card that is in effect "registered" with the ISP.
    If you have a cable modem then a Router then the router tends to be the device "registered".
    If no router then that is obviously you computer's MAC address.
    Some ISPs will go as far as requesting to actually type in the MAC card address and formally request to change it.
    It sounds like you have here a system of monitoring that is not that "up front" and causes problems enough for people to have several computers and just swap them.
    I would guess it allows one change, like you would need if you have a new computer.

  • My I-Touch Wont Connect To The Internet ! But My Bro's Did ! Help Please

    I just bought this friggin thing a few hours ago, cause my idiot brother talked me into getting it. He successfully connected his to the internet. I just paid $230.00 for an 8gb Ipod-touch, and a warranty, and it wont connect to the internet. I put in my network, and the password, but it's not going through. But my brothers works fine. Anybody know what i can do ?

    Yeah, they took down the post cause im not supposed to talk about it apparently. That was my brothers. His is working fine, he can go online, and do things, but for some reason i cant go on youtube, or safari, and cant connect to my main connection.
    I was thinking, maybe since there is two I-Touch's, maybe only one can be connected, but im not to sure about that.

  • Just installed 5.0 and it wont connect to the internet

  • I have just purchased the osx upgrade to 10.7 lion butb my mac is not connected to the internet. I have an apple id but it seems that i need my mac to be connected to the net to downolad the up grade. can i save the upgrade to my windows pc and transfer?

    As I Said..I just wondered if it was possible to upgrade my software without having to connect my mac to the net..I have never connected it as a precaution against any nasties.It seems that i have been sent a password protected PDf with  a link to the MAC APP Store..but you can only access the mac app store if you have a mac connected to the web. any ideas..?

    Hi,
    if connecting that specific Mac to the web is an issue, what you will need, anyway, is another Mac computer with OS X 10.6.8 so you can start the Mac App Store in order to download the Lion installer.
    On that second computer, you can copy the Lion installer on a USB stick or other storage solution, and then copy the installer on the Mac-you-cannot-connect-to-the-internet .
    You could even burn a Lion install DVD from the installer. More info about this here

  • CS5 Mac Kuler - Not connected to the internet

    Hi,
    I am having problems using Kuler on my Mac. I have CS5 master collection installed but Kuler just does not work. A colleague has the same suite installed and his Kuler works just fine! We have tried re-installing the suite but to no avail.
    We have tried copying my installation on to his machine, as well as copying all preferences. But still it doesn't work!
    We are completely stumped and require some assistance.
    The machines does have internet access and I also have CS4 installed and Kuler works fine, it seems to be limited to CS5 and just on my machine.
    Any ideas on how we can fix this?
    Regards,
    Rob
    *MODERATOR COMMENT* The source of the problem seems to have been identified. See the post by employee Carey Burgess on February 2nd for details:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3443382#3443382

    @luckynorth and anyone else still facing this problem:
    I'd like to help you all get this fixed.
    At present, I do not have any issues getting connected to Kuler via any Adobe CS5 application on Mac OS or Windows.
    I did before, and it was because I had disabled Internet access to my Adobe applications. Just in case any of you had this same restriction, I posted the fix for this in my reply above.
    Everyone, please check that you don't have online access disabled for CS5. In Windows, this is controlled by a registry entry; on Mac OS, it's controlled by a plist file. See this document for details:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_84665_en-us
    After you have verified that the plist file doesn't exist or is set to a value of 1 on Mac OS, or the registry value is set to 1 on Windows, reboot your computer, and see what happens.
    If it's still not working, then reply with the following details:
    - What specific operating system you are using.
    For Mac OS, include the exact version, like 10.5.8; you can get this by going to Apple > About This Mac.
    For Windows, I mean XP, Vista, or Windows 7, any service packs, and also 32-bit or 64-bit. You can get these details by going into System in the Control Panel.
    - How you connect to the Internet.
    Wired or wireless?
    Either way, are you at home, or at work/school (or otherwise connected to some kind of larger network)?
    - Have you installed all updates for your CS5 applications?
    Open a CS5 application, go to Help > Updates (or Help > Check for updates), let it check for updates, if any are found, install them, if none are found then note that.
    We'll get to the bottom of this; we just need to find out what about your computer/configuration that isn't allowing it to connect properly.
