N8 and windows 7 internet connectivity

i have had headaches with this issue. i
have ovi suite installed on my computer(s) from the phone(s), have taken of pc suite because it was making ovi suite crash, after downloading windows 7 sp1 on one computer, I can now connect to internet with either phone, but only in admin account,
on the other computer, there is only one account, i have followed previous steps, still comes up when first installed and connected that i need to get a hotfix from microsoft, but win 7 is completely up to date and does not need sp1???
is there something simple i'm missing here to make this work? it took me two weeks to get one computer to sort of work, now i have to do another one??
suggestions please, very much appreciated

Hello @readytochuck,
I'm sorry to hear you have had some problems, but if I understood you
correcly, you want to access to internet from your computer via your N8?
For me the most easiest way is (using it right now, and belive me, in past
three years I have used all possible ways to connect to internet via phone)
the JoikuSpot Premium, downloadable from the Ovi Store (costs some 10€).
Download the app, make sure you don't have any unnecessary access points
on your phone, define your operator's default internet access point for
JoikuSpot to share over and start the JoikuSpot. Now your computer can
find it when scanning for open wlan networks.
Easy and simple!

Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

Have you set up any security on the Mac Connection Sharing?
Sorry but I don't use that so I'm not familiar with the settings.
But if you haven't setup and security the iPhone might not mind but I know most Windows computers do not like to connect to Open WiFi. and make sure it is WPA or WPA2.
Then again it may be a setting in the connection sharing like some type of MAC filtering or it may simply be that Mac OS X connection sharing only allows one connection at a time. Try disconnecting your phone and then connect the PC.
As to Linc's response about Windows.
Windows basically does care about connecting to open, unsecured, WiFi. But it will normally pop up a windows asking "Are myou sure you want to connect to this open network". And a simple click on yes will get you connected and an IP address.
So this is clearly a Mac OS X problem.

edit the hosts file on your computer and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com. Disable your antivirus and firewall.

Can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

Yes the WiFi card can wear out but not what you would really call wearing out like a pair of pants do. It can start to fail causing the connection between your computer and your Wifi router to slow down, IE transmit and receive less data in a given time period. And then it will fail completely.
But as to your internet connection being affected by a failing WiFi card no that can't happen.
If you turn the WiFi off and connect the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable does your internet browsing and downloading speed increase? If it does then there may be something wrong with the WiFi card in your computer or the WiFi section of your router. Hard to say which.
If after connecting the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable and your speeds do not increase then it is a problem with the router or on your ISPs end.

Unexpected shutdowns and loss of internet connectivity on brand new 420t

Hi,
I was experiencing unexpected shutdowns (would see safe mode choices when turned PC back on) and also intermittent internet connectivity issues.
To Fix:
In device manager, I turned off the option in the Realtek Network Controller Power management tab to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
It's been working like a charm so far (2 days). I'm not so sure HP should be building PCs with this option set. There are no updates that I haven't installed either. PC still sleeps (can see nic lights go off) and wakes up just fine.
Other that that we really like this PC...Beats Audio wasn't impressive with only the internal speakers, then I tried a good set of external tweeters and a subwoofer and then it was realized.
Hope this helps someone.

Troy,
Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds like you've heard that others have had this problem. Is that right?
And are you suggesting that the kernel panics and the loss of Internet connection are related? They often happen independently of one another.

How to share Windows 7 Internet connection AND Extreme USB hard disk?

Hi All,
I'm trying to share the mobile broadband Internet connection on a Windows 7 PC as well as the USB hard disk connected to the Airport Extreme (2nd Gen) with other WiFi devices. The problem is that I can get either the one to work or the other, but not both.
When I configure the Airport Extreme for DHCP+NAT, all machines on the Airport network can see each other, share files, etc. When I enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 7 machine, the only way I've gotten that to work is to set the Airport Extreme to bridge mode, but then file sharing of the Airport Extreme's disk no longer works.
Device info: Internet-connected Dell Latitude E5420 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, Airport Extreme 802.11n (2nd Gen), Windows XP Home Edition + Nokia N8 + etc. WiFi devices.
I've read all the manuals I could find and searched these forums but haven't been able to figure out a solution. I'm really getting desperate and will really appreciate any and all suggestions!
Many thanks,
Francois

I've found a solution that works with my existing equipment. It's now possible to share the Windows 7 machine's Internet connection at the same time as the AirPort's drive. An additional challenge was to avoid having to manually reconfigure every WiFi client, but it turned out that's also possible.
For the sake of posterity, here's the guide! :-)
Background
My setup is based on an AirPort Extreme access point WiFi network. The AirPort shares a hard drive, and a number of Windows clients connect to the network. One of these, a Windows 7 machine, has a USB mobile broadband dongle which I also wanted to share with the network.
Previously I got this to work, but whatever configuration I came up with required manual reconfiguration of each network client, one way or the other. This was not ideal. Also, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) defaults to IP address .1, the same one to which the AirPort defaults. This needed manual reconfiguration of the ICS host each time ICS was turned on.
Solution
THIS SOLUTION REQUIRES THE AIRPORT TO BE IN EITHER DHCP + NAT OR DHCP MODE. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU DEPEND ON THE AIRPORT BEING IN BRIDGE MODE, UNFORTUNATELY THIS SOLUTION WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU.
1. Do the AirPort's non-Internet configuration
On the AirPort Utility main screen, click the AirPort button, work through all the tab sheets and configure the items as you require. Do the same for the Printers, Disks and Advanced buttons. Once that's complete, we can do the Internet configuration.
2. Set the AirPort to DHCP & NAT
This is needed so you can choose the AirPort network address in the next step (but you can still set a different Connection Sharing mode later on, see step 7). For now, set Connection Sharing to Share a public IP address:
3. Set the AirPort to the same network address as ICS
Set the AirPort to the network address used by ICS, namely 192.168.137.xyz. Note that the AirPort does not allow a beginning address below 2:
4. Obtain the AirPort's MAC addresses
These will be used in the next step. Record both the Airport ID as well as the Ethernet ID:
5. Fix the AirPort IP addresses to prevent clashing with ICS
The AirPort will default to the same IP address as ICS, namely 192.168.137.1. To prevent this, assign different addresses to the AirPort with DHCP reservations. Underneath DHCP Reservations, click the '+' and create reservations for each of the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces. You can use other values, but to be consistent with the rest of this guide use 192.168.137.253 for the AirPort interface and 192.168.137.254 for the Ethernet inteface:
6. Distribute ICS configuration data with AirPort DHCP
Yes, you read right! This is where the magic happens. To avoid having to manually configure each WiFi client for the additional ICS network, that configuration data is included with the AirPort DHCP configuration. Assuming you've stuck to the numbers above, configure the TCP/IP screen exactly as shown. .254 is the AirPort router (and also its Ethernet interface) address, and .1 is the IP address that Windows configures for the ICS interface:
7. Set AirPort Connection Sharing
If your AirPort is sharing a connection on its WAN port, choose Share a public IP address, otherwise choose Distribute a range of IP address. In the latter case the NAT tab disappears:
8. Save your AirPort's configuration
Your AirPort configuration is now complete and you can push the Update button. Once your AirPort has rebooted, its network will be fully operational.
9. Ensure your Internet sharing port is correctly configured
ICS involves two network ports on the sharing computer - the shared Internet-connected port, and the sharing port connected to your local network. When you enable ICS on the shared port, Windows will temporarily configure the sharing port's settings to fit in with the scheme above (it will get the fixed IP address 192.168.137.1). When ICS is disabled, Windows will restore the default configuration of the sharing port. The purpose of this step is to ensure that the default sharing port configuration is correct. When ICS is inactive the sharing port needs to obtain an IP address automatically from the AirPort via DHCP. Right-click your chosen WiFi sharing connection > Properties > Networking > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties and configure as follows:
10. Share your Internet connection
Right-click the connection you want to share > Properties > Sharing and configure as follows (you may find the other settings also useful but they're not covered here):
And now you're ready to enjoy your local network services as well as your shared Internet connection, all on your Airport Extreme network - without having to lift a finger to configure network clients!
Windows Network Profiles
If you use Windows network profiles to distinguish between Home, Work and Public networks, here are some additional notes you may find useful.
As Windows recognises networks, it applies their assigned profiles which add or remove sets of restrictions wrt. network discovery, file & printer sharing and so on. The amount of ICS configuration data that can be included with AirPort DHCP information is limited and in some instances this interferes with how Windows recognises networks.
It seems that Windows recognises a network once a default router has been configured for it. Following are some known scenarios with fixes for each, based on that principle.
1. WiFi network not recognised
When ICS is enabled, on the ICS host Windows configures only an IP address for the sharing port and no default router. When ICS is disabled, on the ICS host this port receives its configuration from the AirPort via DHCP, as do all other WiFi clients. This DHCP configuration includes router information for the ICS network, but again no router information for the AirPort network itself.
Therefore the AirPort network is not recognised on any Windows machines on the WiFi network, under any circumstances.
To make Windows recognise the AirPort network, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254 metric 3000
This metric is high enough to ensure that "real" default routes get preference over this one.
If you want to remove the above routing table entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.254
For convenience I created shortcuts for these two commands.
2. WiFi network recognised, unrecognised network remains
Once you've added the route above to make Windows recognise your AirPort network, when ICS is disabled Windows will probably identify TWO networks on your WiFi adapter:
     Unidentified network, your_AirPort_network
Windows now recognises your AirPort network, but the DHCP router entry for the inactive ICS network makes it think there must be yet another network. However, the 192.168.137.1 ICS port is not present when ICS is inactive, so Windows reports the inactive router entry as an unidentified network.
If you want to remove this unidentified network/router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1
On your Windows ICS host, removing this entry can cause no harm.
However, on network clients where you removed this entry and subsequently want to share your Internet connection from again, you'll need to add it back.
To restore the ICS router entry, execute the following from the command line with Administrator privileges:
     route -4 add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.137.1 metric 1

WR110 and Windows 7 + Im connected to Internet but Icon in system tray shows red X

Hi all,
I just upgraded both my notebook and Desktop, both of which are wireless. The Notebook connected just fine, and the system tray shows connection bars. However my destktop is also connected, but it shows the red x. Not sure what I need to do to stay connected and have Wireless strength bars reappear. When I click the connection it says " The settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements for the network". Also when I click on the red X in the system tray, the connections pop up, and I see the green bars and it says connected, but a few seconds later it goes to the red X, but Im still connected to the internet. I have ATT DSL and they recently bridged the router to the DSL modem using PPPoe, but that was before I upgraded both PCs to 7 and I did not have this issue prior to upgrading.

Quack,
I gave that a try, and changed my SSID. On my notebook, it of course lost the Internet connection, I saw the new wireless network, and typed in the PW and it connected without issue. However the DT which is where I am having the issue, is still doing the same thing. I am connected to Internet as that is where Im typing this email from, but the 5 bars in the lower are still show that X even tho Im connected. It does say the Security types do not
match, so I would go in and change to WPA Personal, TKIP, and type in the password, but still nothing. I have noticed that when I enable and disable my Wireless adapter in the Desktop, 2 icons come back, one for the adapter, and one called. Microsoft Virtual WiFI miniport adapter, which I have disabled, but it does not make any diff if its enabled or not.

Internet signal but no Windows XP internet connection

I have a MacPro partitioned using BootCamp and can access the internet using the Mac OS side but when I open to the Windows XP partition, I have an "excellent" signal denoted in the lower right hand corner but can not get a connection to the internet using Explorer. I can use a ethernet cable attached to my Mac and access the internet while in Windows
I went to the microsoft website to apply the hot fixes offered without resolve to the problem.
My question is this: What is wrong? Is the configuration used on the OS Partition for AirPort different for Windows? Could it be the channel being used. I am very overwhelmed by all the different lettering being used to denote this or that and though I have been trying to work on this for over a week, I can not find a forum that addresses this. My router is a Linksys and the main PC and my Mac are working fine but it is the Windows thing. Can anyone suggest, being as specific as possible as to how to fix this.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

I just spent 2 hours trying to get a windows Xp to connect to a airport extreme. When I first started, I needed the hex key to connect the windows machine; I got the key and it connected fine. When I start the airport admin utility, it told me it the version installed was not compatable with the base station, but every thing worked. I decided that I better update the admin utility, so I installed what came with the base station. When I started the new version of the the utility,it found a update for the base station. So, I let it update the firmware. I don't know if the windows would have connected because I did not test it. Once the firmware was updated, the windows machine connects but does not aquire a IP address. I am using WEP and the wep key works just fine with the MacBook.
It seems like this is the same problem others are describing, but also seems to be linked to either the firmware update or the admin utililty. Has everyone witht problems updated the firmware in the base station?

Windows XP Internet Connection

I have Windows XP and MAC OS on my MacBook Pro. For some reason the internet connection only works on the MAC OS portion. I've tried using the control panel options to detect my wireless connection and connect to the other computer in the house (which is connected to the modem and router), but still no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi
Not sure if this will help, but I managed to solve this problem just now on my Mac Pro (running Windows XP SP2)
I have my network connections set to a fixed IP address (under tcp/ip settings). I have to do this because the MP is part of a Windows domain. I wasn't getting any internet either until I checked and saw that I had the wrong ip address entered. When I changed it to the proper one (that the Domain knows about) the internet worked.
The default is to have the DNS give you an ip address, but you might want to try a fixed ip and see if that solves the problem.

10.7.4 causing hangs and loss of internet connection

Since the update I have had applications hanging and crashing. Mostly Mail, iTunes, and Safari. What is more annoying however is when the computer is inactive for an hour or so, I lose internet connectivity and have to shut down and reboot in order to get it back. I am on a wired connection and sharing another wired connection through the second ethernet port. Has anyone had these issues? It seems like 10.7.4 really messed with my machine...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Is it possible to share Windows XP internet connection to iPhone 4 via USB tethering?

My computer (Windows XP) connects to the internet, and I want to share that connection to my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1). Is it possible to do that via USB tethering? I know that it's possible for iPhone 4 to share its internet connection to others via Personal Hotspot, so can the opposite be done?

You wouldn't be able to do that via USB, however if your computer had the ability to transmit wireless from the computer, you would be able to connect the iPhone to it via wifi. Computers have the ability to do that with the correct equipment.

Firefox problems with slow and unreliable dialup internet connection

I have a slow an unreliable dialup internet connection. This is all that is available in my area -- no form of 'broadband' internet is available, not even satelight (I have too many trees in the way).
What happens is that due to the poor quality of the analog telephone system (very old and poorly maintained copper cables), my modem drops the internet connection from time to time -- it *usually* dials back, but sometimes I have to manually restart the connection. Because the the connection is so slow, it takes a long time to completely load pages and if the connection is lost in the middle of loading a page, Firefox seems to become 'confused' and even if I stop loading the page and then try to reload it, it does not do so. I have an external modem, so I can watch the blinking lights, so I know when data is being transfered (I also have a connection monitor feature as part of my dialup connection software which shows a bar chart of data transfers over the dialip connection).
I *seems* like what is happening is that Firefox has open network connections that become 'void' when the connection is lost and then reconnected and Firefox attempts to re-cycle these connections. Or else it has 'worker threads' that have become confused or wedged.
Are there settings that I can set (eg with 'about:config') to deal with these issues?

Maybe it helps if you toggle the File > Work Offline setting on/off.
You can also try to reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

.WRT310N has excellent connection and signal, no internet connection

WRT310N connection works with strong signal but I can't connect to the internet. On the Network and Sharing Center box access is "Local only". I've tried setting up from my DSL modem to the WRT310N then to my computer. That doesn't work at all. I presently have the modem connected to a Linksys hub then to the WRT310N. This allows a LAN connection to the internet but no internet connection over the wireless setup. Windows network diagnostics finds no problem with the computer's network connection. My computer OS is Windows Vista but the same problem occuurs on my XP computer

When you Hardwired your computer to the Linksys Router are you able to go online? On your Vista computer when it says that its connected to your Wireless Network the first thing which you need to check if you are getting the Proper IP address on your Vista computer.
On your Vista computer click on Start - Search - CMD and hit enter and in the Command prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and check the IP address for "Wireless Network Connection" and the IP address it should be in your Routers Range. The Default IP for the Linksys router is 192.168.1.1. If you are getting the right IP address under Wireless Network Connection, Then again in the Command Prompt window type "ping 4.2.2.2" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then again in the Command Prompt type "ping yahoo.com" and check if you are getting replies, If yes.
Then on your computer try to Disable the Firewall and Antivirus on your Computer and then check if you are Online.

Can't log into iMessages and it tells me to go and check my internet connection after checking it and turning it on and off it still doesn't work for iMessage but when I go into safari and other apps it works please help!

Cant log into iMessage on myI ipad air and get the message " please check your internet connection and try again" and my internet is on and I can connect to it in other applications.

1. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
2. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
3. Restart iPad
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo
