Mac OS 9.1 How to connect to the internet

How do I connect to the Internet with PPP (dial-up access and a modem? What are the procedures. I am using a OS 9.1.
Please help.

Well, first you need an ISP=Internet Servce Provider to provide you with internet service.
You can then go to your Mac OS Help Menu for detailed instructions. You will need to make the connection through your TCP/IP Control Panels.
If you run into problem you can check Knowledge Base Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106871 Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Troubleshooting a Dial-Up/PPP Internet Connection.
Post back if you run into any problems. Knowledgable users still using dialup service and/or know more about it than I do will be able to help you.
Good luck!

How to connect to the internet

I installed Solaris Express Developer Edition 9/07 yesterday.I have a ADSL USB modem AT-AR206.I want to know How to create a connection to the internet

O.P.
You connect your Solaris PeeCee to the Internet in the same way you should be connecting your MS Windows PeeCee.
Your ISP connects to the high-speed modem.
The modem connects to a router.
You configure the router to communicate with the ISP including any special PPoE setup.
You connect your computers to that router.
The router does all the hard work and its mere existance gives you an additional hardware firewall to shield you from the bad guys out there.
If the retail prices of routers are high in your local stores, then get one from an online auction web site. Ebay is an example of such a web site.

How to connect to the internet using ethernet

I have an iMac 10,1 and am unable to connect it to the internet using an ethernet cable.
I have a more recent Mac Book and I just plugged in the ethernet cable to it, clicked the setting in Network settings, and I was connected.
On the iMac it keeps saying, diagnostics can't fix it etc..?
On the left panel in Diagnostics, Ethernet has a green light, Network Settings an orange light, and ISP a green light (internet and Server are Red).
I'm using Comcast cable, and they just say the settings should appear automatically on a Mac (which they apparently did on my Mac Book!)
Any suggestions, appreciated.

How to connect to the internet with ASA 5515 X?

Hi all:
I just got my new ASA 5515 X firewall and I got stuck in the first steps.
I can ping a public IP (8.8.8.8) from the device but I cannot ping it from my LAN.
I know I am missing either NAT rules or Access rules or maybe both, but I need some help, please.
Thank you.

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.

How to restart base station from airport utility? I used to be able to do it remotely
I currently use a Mac Pro 10.8.4 and have a time machine for wireless 6.3 (630.34). Sometimes I cannot connect to the internet and use network preferences to diagnose the issue. This results in being told to restart the wireless. The airport utility includes the drop down option of restarting but is not clickable so I can't choose it.
With my prior macbook and same time capsule, etc if i had problems connecting to the internet I would run network diagnostics to help out. This included clicking on the airport utility ---> base station --> restart. This worked most of the time.
Bottom line, is there something I am missing in not being able to restart the wi-fi remotely? ]
Thanks in advance

You are likely forgetting a step.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon
Click Edit in the small window that appears
Now click the Base Station menu.....top of the screen....not the Base Station "tab" in the center of the screen
Click Restart

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?

rpotala,
if you are trying to install OS X onto an erased disk or onto a newly formatted disk, and your Mac originally came from the factory with Lion or newer installed, then you will need Internet access to perform an OS X Internet Recovery.
If your Mac originally came from the factory with Snow Leopard or older installed, then you will need to install Mac OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your Mac.

How can I fix the problem when I can't completely erase find my iphone from my mac? It says "pending erasa find my iphone until your iphone connect to the internet". My iphone already connected to the internet and it still doesn't work. Anyone have idea?

Actually I want to restore my iphone from my mac but I can't because it says "go to icloud settings on your iphone and turn off find my iphone before restore your iphone". Then, I go to icloud.com and erase find my iphone. But I still can't restore my iphone because it says pending to erase your iphone until your iphone connected to the internet. My iphone already connected to the internet and it still says pending. Please help me to fix this problem because I need to restore my iphone.

HT1338 my mac is not connected to the internet. How can I update the software?

I want to update the software of my mac pro but it is not and cannot be connected to the internet. Is there some way to do this?

Sure, you can download the disc image (.dmg) and zipped (.zip) files onto your PC. Then transfer them to a FAT32 (MSDOS) formatted flash drive that you can then read and copy onto the Mac. Just do not attempt to open either type of file on the PC which can result in corrupting the files once copied onto the Mac.
Might I ask why you cannot connect the Mac Pro to your internet connection?

Mac shows wireless internet connection, but Safari says "computer isn't connected to the Internet"

Situation:
Computer shows internet connection (full bars), but won't actually connect to the internet and load webpages
Attempted Fixes:
Reset Safari
Quit Safari
Restart the computer
Turn off the computer with router unplugged
Turn off Airport
Swear at the computer
Swear at the internet
Unplug the router and turn the Airport off too
Additional Info:
Second computer (mac) connects to the internet so it's not an internet problem.
Last few days the internet has been slowly dying on the computer (Mac OS X) in question. Meaning that the internet asks me for the router password constantly, which was a new development.
I have seen information about reseting Plists and a few other weird things, but I didn't want to do anything drastic based on someone elses issue. I figured it's best to bring my specific issue to the forum before destroying my Mac by randomly deleting Plists.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Excellent troubleshooting solutions which usually works.
Which os version are you using?
First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
Unlock the padlock
Locations: Automatic
Highlight Airport
Click the Assist Me button
In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

HT1338 How do I update osx 10.4.8 if the network admin utility is not compatible with my apple airport extreme and I an't connect to the internet?

I was given an iMac desktop computer, operating system OSX 10.4.8 (2011). The network admin utility is not compatiable with my airport extreme router, and I am unable to connect to the internet to update the software. Can someone please tell me how to update the software or download a newer version on the network admin, or how to connect this computer to the internet?
Thanks,

Why won't the Mac Mini connect to the internet but won't browse

Here's an odd one...I hook up the mini with an ethernet cable to the cable modem - it finds the settings on it's own - IP address, subnet - the whole thing. That's just great - go to the activity monitor - and look at the network - packets going and coming - but when I go to Safari...it tells me that I'm not connected to the internet...that's funny - according to the activity monitor and the network settings - I am.
What am I missing here? I've tried the network assistant - and even my laptop can't connect to the cable modem automatically from that either and it is a never fail - plug and play.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Try checking the settings in Safari. I'm not sure how safari work,(Don't have my mini yet) but if it's anything like firefox or IE 6, you should have a setting that says "Connection Setting" or something similar. Make sure it's set to auto detect or broadband or w/e your options may be. (Not sure exactly how safari works so i'm not sure what options you may have there)
If those settings are correct and nothing changes, another thing you can try is opening quicktime or visiting the itunes music store. If the internet works for these programs then you are defenately connected and it's a based safari problem. In fact, sometimes simply accessing the net through quicktime, itunes or windows media player (For windows) have re established my connection when it randomly stopped working with firefox. (I have no idea why) Browsers are weird sometimes so try opening quicktime and see how that works out. If quicktime or itunes connects, reopen safari and check to see if it made any change. If quicktime and itunes can't connect to the internet, then it might be a more complex issue regarding your network settings. (can't help at all there until I learn the mac ways of interneting)
Sorry I can't be a bigger help, like i said i don't have my mini yet (Or any other mac since my old g3 non tower :P). Hopefully just opening itunes or quicktime will be able to help you (not sure what it does but it works for me sometimes). Or maybe the settings on safari need to be reconfigured, and that could be ur fix.
Anyways Good luck,
Wannabe
