Mini need old G4 to access internet??

I have a Mac mini new last Nov. It worked fine until a 2 weeks ago. I have it connected to the internet via a Westell router, That router also serves our older G4. The mini will access the internet as long as the g4 is turned on, if I even put the G4 to sleep it looses it's connection. I had printer sharing turned on so the G4 could access the printer via the mini. I turned that off, switched ethernet cables around even reloaded the operating system. If I turn on the mini the light on the router only flashes slowly. As soon as the G4 is turned on they appear to talk and then the mini logs on to the internet. put the G4 to sleep and the mini looses connection in a couple of mintues. I've tried a lot of things and can't figure this one out. Help Please!

It doesn't matter if the G4 in plugged in or not. The mini will not work with the router ethernet or wireless. I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour today and of coarse they blame it on the mini. They had me ping the ethernet card and they had me try to ping the router. It was not able to ping the router with the 2 different cabled that we tried. So I brought it to work and plugged it into the same model Westel versalink router as I have at home. Works fine. So I have to believe this mini just won;t talk to the router I have at home. All the replies that you kind peoiple have come up with have been covered to this point. There is something in this mini or in the router that will not leave it talk with that specific router.

Help needed--Graphite airport not accessing Internet.

My daughter is trying to get our old graphite airport to be the wireless router for her network. When the airport is plugged into the cable modem, her ibook (10.3.9) can 'see' the airport (the icon is black with full strength signal) but she can't get on the Internet. (When her computer is connected directly to the modem via ethernet she has no trouble getting online.) She's tried a soft reset--she was able to change her password and remove the encryption but that didn't help. When she tries using the set-up assistant, the computer can see the airport network but on the next screen her base station doesn't appear in the list even with rescanning, though her airport icon is black with full strength so we know the computer can see the airport. She has unplugged the airport and turned it back on--still nothing. Safari simply loads and loads forever without any page appearing.
What else should she try? Would a factory reset help? The article at Apple support says for a hard reset the airport must be connected to the computer via a crossover ethernet cable, but that must mean that the airport is not connected to the internet during the process--correct?)
Thanks for any help you can give us.

Use AirPort Admin Utility to administer the Graphite.
I don't think another reset is what you need. Since the computer is able to join the Graphite's wireless network (hence the black icon), all it needs for Internet access is a working IP address. The default settings for the Graphite after a reset are for the Graphite to receive an IP address using Ethernet and DHCP (see the Internet tab of AirPort Admin Utility) and to distribute IP addresses using DHCP and NAT (see the Network tab of AirPort Admin Utility). These settings are what you want.
I think the problem is probably that the cable modem is remembering the computer's MAC address and is not giving an IP address to the Graphite. With the computer shut down and the Graphite's power unplugged, reset the modem with its reset button if it has one. Otherwise, unplug the modem's power for at least 5 minutes. Then turn on the modem, the Graphite and the computer (in that order), waiting a few minutes between them.

IPhoto on Mini needs upgrade because I accessed from laptop??

I have 8.1.2 on the laptop and apparently 7.1.5 on the Mini, and by accessing the iPhoto library on the mini, it made the mini's iPhoto inoperable. Both computers have the same OS X, 10.5.8.
The message I am getting is...
You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto.
Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Then, when I hit the Quit button, iPhoto closes, leaving me no chance to check the version, or upgrade. I only found out the version by using the Library Manager.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Styve

If I go with option 2, how do I do that if I cannot even open iPhoto on the mini?
You don't need to open iPhoto to update the iPhoto application
I also have a back-up hard-drive, but I have never used it to retrieve applications.
In this case it's the Library you want to recover, not the app.

Help needed to access internet while roaming

Hi, I m new to this community and do not know properly how to get support. I have I pad mini with retina display, WiFi & Cellular, 32 GB, OS: iOS 7.1.2. To use internet I have taken Vodafone SIM (UP, West, India) which is a handmade nano SIM. I am able to use internet facility when present in home circle. However, when I visit to other states I can not access internet (even after the setting change as a roaming). Whenever I open the browser, message comes on screen "Could not activate cellular data network" or "You are not subscribed to a cellular network service". In this connection I contacted ISP (Vodafone), but they say there is no problem with ISP and suggest me to contact Apple. I made contact with apple too. They made all the heat and trial with the setting but the result was the same. Finally they say this problem could be because of hand cut nano SIM and suggested me to get factory cut nano SIM. I am still having hand cut SIM. I request all of you to help me in this regard so that I could use internet while traveling.
Thank you
Arun Verma

Get a factory cut nano sim as Vodaphone suggested. The handout sim seems
to have a problem. Is there some reason you don't want to follow the suggestion
you have been given?

New Mac Mini server/OS X Lion, no Internet access

I set up new Mini server on home network, I can access all internal network resources (other computers, airport express, NAS, etc) but cannot get to connect to external/internet sites (apple.com, google.com, iTunes Store, Mac Updates, Mail, etc). All other Mac hardware on network can access internet (MBP,iPads). What am I missing?

Double check your DNS settings. DNS is what translates the web names to IP addresses. I would double check this.

There hasn't been an IE that would work on a Mac since 2002. The only way to use IE today is to run Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54...

Having trouble accessing internet with new wireless WRT54G. Used easylink to read existing router BEFSR41 which works great to westell modem provided by Verizon. When connect new router Easylink configures WRT54G but when trying to connect to internet...fails. All lites indicate good. Not using wireless device yet, just the wired ethernet. Router set up as DHCP.
I keep going back to old router and works great every time. Help!

Thanks for response, however I tried setting unit to 192.168.2.1 (leaving DHCP) to no avail. I put my old unit (BEFSR41) back in and I'm back up. I need to sit back and decide which way to go on this. Perhaps it's defective and I should return it.

You need to enable split tunneling. This link is for VPN client to router. The same equivalent config may apply to a PIX as well.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

BSOD: bad_pool_caller, while accessing Internet (youtube video, bgm, online games)

Dear all readers of this writing,
I truly want to get help or advice of solving my blue screen problem called "bad_pool_caller".
Even, I nicknamed myself as "bad_pool_caller of death" because this caused several painful experiences while playing online games. Furthermore I am just a beginner about computers, so even this small problem makes me crazy.
Let me introduce my problem and what I have done to solve this problem.
-Symptoms
this bad_pool_caller problem does not occur in offline. I found that none of problem occurs even while playing single player games over 7 hours like Far cry3 or bioshock infinite.
Only while accessing Internet, this problem occurs.
Especially, while playing any youtube videos
even also other sort of video players, almost within 20 seconds, my computer shut down by bad_pool_caller error.
and video's buffering is extremely slow.
This is not just a Internet access problem I think, because I have another my own laptop and when I play youtube video of my laptop, it plays well.
Also, when I enter a posting linked with bgm files, and try to install and play online games like starcraft 2, same things happens.
(Although the frequency is lower than that of bad poor caller, Driver IRQL Less or equal error
pops up while playing online games.
During surfing Internet without these, bad pool caller error does not happen, so I think these three things(youtube video, listening bgm, online games) have much to do with my error.
-What I have done
I tried to solve by myself after I found this link.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/e5e06b4e-6ed0-4eab-80ab-56c334f924be/windows-8-blue-screen-of-death-bsod-badpoolcaller?forum=w8itproperf
I was very happy when I found this because the situation of the writer in upper link is almost same with that of mine.
As the answer written, I format my C drive(Toshiba) and install windows 8.1 full version completely and upgraded graphic drive(GTX 760) and upgraded latetest windows 8.1 beta version upgrade of Wireless lan card drive(Netgear N900).
However, you know, still this error occurs...
-Guess the cause
I know that most bad pool caller problem arise from Hard drive and memory corruption.
But, my desktop PC is bought only a month ago and I bought quite a good SSD and HDD and Ram for playing high quality games.
So I don't think the main cause is my SSD or HDD. My graphic card is also a new one.
I suspect the cause is my network adapter, wireless lan card (USB) because this connects Internet access between my desktop PC and Louter.
I am living in University dorm and using louter using with other students together.
For getting Internet access of my desktop PC, I've bought wireless lan card (Netgear N 900) and I think this lan card causes problem such as windows 8.1 compatible
But I fully upgraded and updated lan card driver and reinstalled several times and this N900 is not bad lan card so I don't determine this is the real cause.
Here is link of my minidump record files.
https://onedrive.live.com/#cid=CF99CE81DCA9027A&id=CF99CE81DCA9027A%21943
(most error is about bad_pool_caller, but one is about Driver_IRQL_Less or Equal)
and sorry for my poor English writing skills because I am international student arrived US only 3 months. If you have some things that cannot understand of my writing, just ask me again.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
As you said,you have updated your NIC driver.
Did this issue happend when you used the wired LAN?
I think this is related to wireless driver.
I suggest that you try other wirless card to test this issue.

IPhone connects to secured WiFi network, but can't access Internet

Problem: iPhone connects to my secured home WiFi network, shows WiFi strength bars at top of screen, displays checkmark, lock, power, and blue arrow on WiFi Networks screen; however, cannot access Internet, iTunes store, stocks, Weather or anything else.
Tests I've run:
1. iPhone itself:
---DCHP:
IP Address = 192.168.2.102 (within range automatically allocated by LinkSys router--see below)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 (as per LinkSys router)
Router = 192.168.2.1 (as per LinkSys router)
DNS = 192.168.2.1 (confirmed by Apple as a valid DNS address given the above information)

*Updated Router firmware--iPhone failed to connect to Internet
*Entered a Static IP address on both router and iPhone--iPhone failed to connect to Internet
*Reserved an IP within range automatically allocated by LinkSys router--iPhone failed to connect to Internet
*Reserved an IP outside range automatically allocated by LinkSys router--iPhone failed to connect to Internet
*Forced MAC filtering to use iPhone WiFi Address--iPhone failed to connect to Internet
*Disabled all MAC filtering--iPhone failed to connect to Internet
*Changed security settings:

3. Microsoft router MN-500:
Tried this old router (the one I used before purchasing the LinkSys). It is an old (circa 2002) Wireless B base station with WEP Security. The iPhone was never able to connect to the Internet using various settings, many of which were duplicates of the LinkSys tests above.
On both routers my wife's Dell laptop and my HP printer connect without incident, using the same network/security settings.
I have always been able to connect to various unsecured WiFi networks; I have never been able to connect to a secure WiFi network (although the only one I've really tried has been my own).
I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

SUCCESS!!!!!
I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
SUCCESS!!!
Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

How can we allow internal users to access internet through ASA firewall?

Hello,
I am new to security track, i have been asked to setup lab and allow users from inside firewall to access internet. here is my lab setup
PC -> switch 1 (layer2) -> (inside) ASA (outside) -> switch 2 (Layer2) -> Router
does switch 2 port needs internet access through router?
what configuration required on ASA to allow users behind the firewall to access internet?
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,

Hi,
Okay , can you clarify on this for me. Are you able to ping the internet from the ASA outside interface ?
Just try something like this:-
ping 4.2.2.2 .. Does this work ?
If this does not work , then i think the ASA even is not able to get to the internet and that would be a problem on the router.
Also , internet from Switch 2 is not a requirement as that is only a Layer 2 device.
You can assign the ISP allocated address on the PC , connect it to the Switch 2 port and then try to ping something on the internet or surf internet and i think that should work.
Thanks and Regards,
Vibhor Amrodia

Unable to access Internet using a Mobile Network

Hello friends
I recently updated my SE Xperia mini pro 17i (2011 model) to ICS, initially there were some issues and I had to re-update it to finally get authentic interface of ICS. Even after the successful update I am unable to use the mobile network to access Internet, the only way is to use a Wifi instead. Can somebody please help me out with this issue?
Karan

The first thing I would advise doing is contacting your current network provider and have them send you through the relevant internet settings.
