My computer loses the internet connection

hello,
I have a big problem. When I connect my iPhone, my computer loses the internet connection. Before everything was perfect. I have my iPhone since June 2010.
I need your help please

I may have the same/a similar problem. I got the my WRT54GS v7 router on Wednesday (12/26) but I didn't have a change to install it until Sunday (12/30). I was able to get it set up just fine (PPPoE access through local SBC DSL)... my wife and I got our computers hooked up (wired) to the router, and our Wii was hooked up wirelessly. Everything seemed to be working great... but the router seems to be dropping the connection every few hours. If I power off/power on the router, it finds the connection again... but I don't want to be resetting the router every few hours from now until forever. I'm not 100%, but this may very well be happening every time we connect wirelessly... the first time was when we got the Wii set up, then when a friend connected wirelessly, and then again with the Wii a few more times. I know it is not the internet connection myself... we've had this connection for a few years, and used an older Linksys router that worked just fine (we went to WRT54GS to go wireless). The router is locked down with WPA2-personal encryption, and quite a long random string to get in, so I'm pretty sure it is not outsiders. I tried a firmware upgrade and that didn't help at all either. I'd be interested in seeing a solution to this problem soon please! (I'm not sure I understand the instructions of the one response already on this thread.)

Fairfox loses the Internet connection

Hallo.
Fairfox is looses internet connection in standby mode. It is repeat every time after some minutes from starting Fairfox. Some aplications was installed- "BetterPrivacy 1.68", "NoScript 2.6.5.", Adblock Plus 2.2.3, Dr.Web Anti-Virus Link Checker 2.7.5, HTTPS Finder 0.85, Download Master Plugin 1.4.6, TS Magic Player 1.1.21 and some else. I don't want to run Mozilla in no-apps Mode, because thease apps are important for me. What do I need to do to fix this?
See the fix-problem tecnical information in a window below:

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

Why does my iPad lose the Internet connection ?

Why won't my iPad battery recharge? Sent this message before & would

I didn't do the most recent upgrade as I had problems with it when I did the previous one. I have the IPAD WI-FI 32GB . It seems to be charging ok . I did a Sync yesterday and now it won't connect to the Internet although it was working fine last evening and I didn't change any settings.
When I plug it in to my iMac, the iPhoto applicaiton opens and I have to open the iTunes application even though I have it set to open when I connect the iPad.
Appreciate any help or suggestions you can offer. Thank you in advance.

How do I finish updating my iPhone4 to iOS7 when it closed down during the process as I had it tethered to my computer and I assume the computer needed the internet to complete the process?

How can I finish updating my iPhone 4 to iOS7 when I had it tethered to my computer (computer using the connection from my phone) and during the updating process, when the phone restarts itself, I lose the internet connection (silly me, not thinking of this) and now it can't finish the process. Can I use a friends computer if I log into my iTunes account...as I downloaded it ok...just cant finish the update. Any ideas?
Thanks
K

If this is the third time that this has happened to you, I don't blame you for being upset. On the other hand, after the second time, you should have learned the importance of backing up your iOS devices and apparently you didn't do that or you wouldn't be in such a panic.
You cannot downgrade the iOS, You have to restore your phone now and all of the contents will be erased. I think you know that though, and I think that you know that there is no way around it either.

My MBP keeps dropping the internet connection

Since yesterday, my MBP (Late 2011) keeps dropping the internet connection from my Airport Express. I'm still connected to the network, it just loses the internet connection on the MBP. I restart the computer, and it works for a few minutes. I turn off router, and it works for a few mimutes...but no matter what I do, after 2-3 minutes, I get the exclamation mark in the wifi indicator saying there is no internet connection.
And this is only happening on that single MBP. All of the other devices in the house, another MBP (mid 2012), an iPad (retina with lightning connector) and 2 iPhones (one 4 and one 5), can all connect. And the router we have is an airport express.
Why is this happeneing only on the one computer, and how can I fix this?
Thanks.

First, changing your DNS settings could not possibly have any effect on this problem.
When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

2nd Base station drops the internet connection

I have a WDS network that uses a time capsule and a base station to connect to the internet. The problem with this is that the 2nd base (ie the remote) loses the internet connection after about 2 mins of turning it on. I cant find out why this is...perhaps a DHCP problem??
Please somone help?

I lose my internet connection on my XP computer when the printer is connected as wireless.

My new hp6510 wireless printer works great but I lose my internet connection when the printer is connected as wireless. I am using the printer with a linksys router E3000. The network has an XP computer , a win7 64 bit computer. I do not have a problem with the win 7 computer, but the xp computer will drop the internet connection and sometimes I can get it to work by repair of the router connection, but sometimes I will need to reboot the computer. If I stop the wireless connection and use the USB it works OK. I have tried to get help from HP and Linksysm but no help. I would appreciate any suggestions.
This question was solved.

TC: The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer...

So, I have a TC connected to a Netopia ADSL modem from Earthlink. Ocassionally, when the computer has left the wireless network, I will come home to find the following page with the Earthlink logo at the top:
“The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer
( 172.16.1.10 ).
Enter your DSL Account logon password to switch the Internet
connection to this computer.”
If I enter the password and click "Obtain Connection", I am taken to another page that says that I can now access the Internet, blah blah blah... and another button that says "Release Connection".
First of all, it does not seem like that should be happnening, but no big deal as it takes 5 seconds out of my day to work around. The bigger problem is that only one computer can be connected to the Internet at a time. If a friend with another laptop comes over and tries to access the Internet at the same time as me, he will get the same Earthlink page popping up. If he enters the password, he will kick off the first computer and on and on and on...
I called Elink support and they, of course, told me it is a TC issue. I called Apple and they, of course, told me it is an ISP issue. I suspect that it has something to do with my TC settings (bridge mode, maybe?), but have no idea what I am doing there.
Anyone have any ideas for me? I have friends coming into town this weekend and we won't be able to share stupid YouTube clips as efficiently with only one computer!

There is nothing you can do.. if you want more than one device connected then you must double NAT. This is common practice with Satellite providers.. I am not sure why they cannot afford to buy a block of public IP.. maybe it is deliberate to prevent people using servers.
Just select ignore in the airport utility.. for the double NAT problem.. this is the equivalent to sticking your head in the ground and therefore your problems don't exist. (your opponents cannot see you if you have a bird brain!!) Of course when the opportunity comes up.. move. Go to fibre or 3g/4g with a reliable ISP who hands out public IP. Until then tighten your belt.. short commons are the order of the day.

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn)

Resetting Airport Extreme disabled my home network. Now when i attempt to get to internet with iPad, or iPhone, I see an Earthlink (ISP) window with message: The internet connection is currently in use by another computer (nun.nn.n.nn) Enter your DSL Account logon psassword to switch the internet connection to this computer. If I do that, other messages follow. I am usually able to switch connection, but can have only one device on internet at a time. Tried to correct problem using Airport Utility, but failed.

Unfortunately, there is mass confusion about whether a device might be a modem or a modem/router since the terms are mixed up all the time. Even though a device might have only one Ethernet port, it can still be a router.
If this is your "modem".......
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netopia-cayman-3341-router/4507-3319_7-30484785. html
It is not a modem.....it is a modem/router. If that is the case, then the AirPort Extreme is not the only router on your network....it is one of two routers, and it should be configured to operate in Bridge Mode.
Does this device appear to be your "modem"?

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available it included HDR & Panoramic photo merge. I cant find these. Where do I find them.

well that was a big waste of my time & data allowance then ...
I live in a flaky slow internet area & I keep my photo edit machine off the internet unless & want to update something. CC is no use to me & that useless update just used up a 12th of my allowance for the year ...

The internet connection is currently in use by another computer

I am trying to replace my old linksys router with Airport Express. I can get it connected and and I can access the internet on my MacBook but when I try to use WiFi on my iPad, I get the message "The Internet connection is currently in use by another computer (172.16.1.11)" from Earthlink, my ISP.
I have a Netopia modem from Earthlink. My MacBookPro is running OSX 10.9.4.
I understand that I need to have the AirPort Express look like the only device attached to the Netopia modern, and then the AirPort Express will handle multiple devices' connections correctly (MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone). I just can't figure out how to set this up.

My Photoshop CS6 always crashes when I lose my Internet connection...why?

My Photoshop CS6 always crashes when I lose my Internet connection...why? This is really aggravating, particularly when I am traveling with my laptop and try to use Photoshop. As long as I have an Internet connection it is fine, but as soon as the Internet is no longer available the program stops working.

I lose my Internet connection, unplug my Time Capsule for a while, plug it back in and get my conne ction back. What may be causing that?

I lose my Internet connection, unplug my Time Capsule for a while, plug it back in, then in a few minutes my Internet is connected again. Can someone tell me what to do? Thanks

I was being jovial..
SL is snow leopard.. If you are on 10.6.8 you are on SL. Your initial post says 10.5.6 but I assumed you had upgraded to Lion or worse Mountain Lion.
Don't whatever you do update.. that is out of the frying pan into the fire.
You might need to give more network info..
What is the TC plugged into for broadband.. are you on cable, adsl, other.. is the TC in router mode.
I find with SL, the later versions of TC firmware much worse than earlier ones.. So I do recommend you check your TC and if you are on 7.6.1 then downgrade to 7.5.2 .. you do this by holding the option key when you select update firmware.. it will show you downgrade options as well as upgrade.. only this is not possible with newest Gen 4 TC which are stuck on 7.6.x firmware.
How do you connect to the TC is the other question.. and with what?? Is this issue computer only or iphone ipad etc. ie is your network wireless or ethernet (or both) does the issue affect both?

My iMac drops the internet connection but mantains the wi-fi network.

I have a late 2011, 2.7GHz Intel Core i5, 27" iMac with 4GB Ram. When I power up the computer everything goes great, but after 3 or 4 hours (top) the internet connection stops working; and by this I DO NOT MEAN that the network utility turns off, or that it doesn't detect any netwoks. On the contrary, the computer stays connected to the wi-fi network and detects everything, but it simply has no internet connection; it even stops communicating with my iphone through itunes (with the wi-fi sync option), and crashes LAN games when i try to play at home. When this occured for the first times I just turned off and back on the network utility, but the problem continued and I had to keep turning off and on the network (it wouldn't stay connected for more than 5 minutes). I checked with my laptop (the last alluminum macbook ever available, as well as with my mom's black macbook) when the internet stopped working in the iMac (just to check that there were no issues regarding my ISP) and the internet connection just worked great in it, and it didn't drop at all! It also worked perfectly with my dad's windows XP dinosaur laptop.
At the beggining I thought my wi-fi router had gone bad, so I changed it for a brand new wireless-n ready router (it turned out that i wasted 180 dollars, because this wasn't the issue, and I had already trashed my old router). At first, I used the wireless-n feature, but other gadgets stopped working with this type (a play station 3 and a nintendo wii). I then configured it with a mixed mode, and everything has worked perfectly (including both macbooks, an ipad 2, an iphone 4s, 4 blackberries, a play station 3, a nintendo wii, 2 network printers, 1 network scanner, a 3TB network hard disk and 3 led tvs that come network ready, along with their respectives network ready surround soundbars).... EXCEPT FOR MY IMAC! So DEFINETELY MY ROUTER IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
I've been an avid apple user for almost 10 years now, and this is the first time I encounter this type of problem (it's my first iMac), so I'm pretty much out of logical options. I've already moved my router closer to the computer, I moved my wi-fi connection to the top of the list in the network utility.
I even had to re-write this whole message again because i clicked on "Post message" and it had no internet connection, so it displayed a no-internet alert in my browser.............
PLEASE! HELP!!!!
PS: all my apple gadgets are always up to date.

I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
*PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.
