Netcfg says network up but still no internet [SOLVED]

I have looked at the archwiki and videos on youtube everywhere, I've had this problem for about 3 hours now.  I have configured netcfg and set up wireless-wep in /etc/rc.conf, but maybe i am doing something wrong?  it says the network is up but when i click on firefox there is still no wireless internet.  I can get internet with a cable although, thanks in advance

two things:
1. Did you get your IP address by running:
dhcpcd wlan0
(replace wlan0 with the name of your interface if it is different)
2. If you didn't get an address, try running
iwconfig wlan0 channel auto
I had the same problem when I first installed Arch, but the two above commands did it (in the opposite order that I posted them though... not sure why I did that...)

  • My IPAD won't accept my wi-fi password. I have tried resetting all settings and network settings but still won't accept it. Can't download to new version of IOS either, says software update server could not be contacted.

    Yes I have put in the correct password, its all numbers so can't get it wrong really.
    It has connected before as has my iPod and that won't connect either. I have checked that they aren't on the blocked list of the wi fi. Managed to download the new version of iOS and that hasn't made a difference.
    I have the wi fi plugged directly into the computer rather than the booster hub as the computer won't connect to it when its in the hub. I did get the iPad to connect to the internet when it twas in the hub but once I upgraded the iOS it won't accept the wifi password in the hub either.

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

    Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.

  • Macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

    macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

    This isn't reference in any of the online support material that I've seen. Do you have a link to support this? Just curious is all.
    I had a similar issue on my wife's '09 MBP. Initially I thought it was the battery seeing as it's an older machine, but we tried resetting the SMC (after a bunch of other suggestions) and that seems to have done the trick.

  • Network diagnostic says connection sucessful but still get error message

    The error that comes up when I try to connect to iTunes is, "Make sure your network connection is active and try again. " I've checked network diagnostics and it tells me that the connection attempt and secure connection attempt to iTunes store were successful. My connection to internet works right now, but internet explorer is not working. When I try to open apple support webpage with explorer, it tells me I don't have permission to access it on this server. I'm using the iTunes 7.0 and have recently re-installed it.
    Can anyone please help?

    I have the same problem too, suddenly my apple id has been disable & i couldn't download or update any thing!!
    As a solution i reset the password, sign out of my account on my iphone and sign in easily but it didn't solve any thing
    Plz help me .. What can i do?!!

  • I've tried it all but still slow internet

    I've been suffering from very slow connection speeds for months now. At first I thought it was my DSL ISP so I switch to Comcast HSI and it's a little faster but still nowhere near acceptable. I just got off the line with Apple support and I was stunned by the lack of imformation I received! My Apple Care subscription was a total waste of money. So I'm hoping someone here has a nugget of wisdom that will help me out.
    Here's what I know:
    HSI line out of modem is good. Plugging a PC into the same modem and cable gets 7mbps download speeds. My dual 1.8 G5 running 10.4.3 gets around 850kbps with the same cable and modem.
    Problem exists whether I use Airport or ethernet. I am currently using ethernet to the modem to keep things simple.
    I've zeroed out the drive and reinstalled the OS. (not fun)
    I've trashed all caches.
    I've tried with and without DNS addresses in the network preferences.
    Flushed Safari and reset Safari.
    Firefox and Explorer get the same slow speeds.
    Logging in as new test user gets same speeds.
    Tried lookupd -flushcache in terminal
    Tried with and without Broadband Optimizer
    Ran Onyx
    Ran Disk Warrior
    ipv6 on or off no difference. Currently off.
    All proxys are off
    Reset modem, unplugged all cables, zapped PRAM, unplugged and replugged a thousand times.
    Repaired permissions at every update.
    There is more but I can't remember them all...
    I'm hoping this rings a bell with someone and they remember how they solved it. I love Apple and I've been Mac-Only since around 1998 but I'm really disappointed with their support performance today.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    David

    Yes that is indeed slow and inline with your previous testing.
    Couple things, you have dual 10/100/1000 ethernet ports in that computer right? I am not familiar with the insides yet to know if they are built-in's or if they are on an expansion card.
    It is not likely that the PC laptop and your Mac are using the same brand of ethernet chips so there is an avenue for testing. Nor is it likely he may also have had gigabit ethernet capable ports.
    The cable-modem wouldn't likely be a gigabit ethernet equipped unit but its worth checking its specs.
    What I would want to do is three fold.
    1. The ethernet ports on devices are usually auto-sensing for speed. However problems do occur in networks with some devices not playing well together in the sandbox so we have to force one or more of the devices to use a specific speed and what the call a duplex setting.
    If for sake of an example that comcast modem only had a 10 megabit/second half-duplex port for you to plug in, if your computer was through auto-sensing goof-up talking 100 megabit at full-duplex duplex or 1000 megabit at full-duplex ethernet or even 10 megabit at full-duplex to that device you have communication error. At the correct speed but wrong duplex setting you can end up with framing errors and late collisions with devices.
    2. You have dual network ports most likely on your computer. It would be worth a test to see if you can disable/shut one of them down and let the OS only have to handle the one.
    3. If you have a plug in expansion card with ethernet on it, it would be worth a test if the two you have are built-ins and still not working. Also, and much easier would be to see if a friend or work has another Mac you can use for one day as a test to see if it works. If it does, that pinpoints it to something specifically unique about your computer, not the OS, still perhaps a setting in the OS, but I would focus more on the hardware differences (your network controllers). If you use the same cables and it works on the other Mac then you've eliminated that as well.
    Hopefully lots of new ideas to ponder.
    I also have some commands you can type in that can speed up your maximum throughput on the internet but while they can give you another 100-200KB/sec on downloads, we need a working base connection.

  • TS3274 Top left says "no service" but bars show Internet and email works. Why does it say no service as everything appears fine?

    At the top left it says No Servive but the bars indicating service are full. In settings it appears I am connected to the Internet. Email works. Everything seems ok. Why "No Service" in upper left?

    No service refers to no cellular service but you may be connected to a WiFi network.

  • My iPhone was at 63% then suddenly died, it say its charging but still not turn on, what do I do??

    I have tried everything and cannot get it to turn on, it comes up with the red battery icon saying its charging. But still nothing! Help!!

    Do not attempt to force it to start after it has shutdown due to low charge.  Fully charge before using it again.  If it will not charge, try a different outlet, a different charger and cable, and if it still does not charge, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the technicians.

  • After a notice of update, I was unable to use iTunes. It said I had a missing dll file and a Windows error 7. I removed iTunes and tried to reinstall. I selected the download items off the apple site. It says thank you but still not there.

    Having problems downloading iTunes. After an update notice, I was unable to open iTunes. I de-installed and attempted to reinstall it and it still won't open.
    The first error duirn the update was a dll file missing, then a Windows error 7. The screen on the Apple site say  Thank you for downloading, but still not there.

    A msi file is short for microsoft installer.  It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program.  For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
    From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before. 
    I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes.  It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help.   Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes.  It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
    This was what was said.
    Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

    I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
    Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
    When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
    Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
    When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
    I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
    Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
    The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
    or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
    Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

    Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
    I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
    ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
    When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
    Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
    I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
    I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

  • Wifi connection ipad3 password correct but says I am unable to connect? Have reset my network settings but still cannot connect! Any help would be gratefully received thanks.

    Hi. I am having problems connecting to the wifi at my caravan site. My iPad recognises the connection but when I put the password in correctly it says it cannot connect. I have reset my network settings in general but it has made no difference . Any ideas?

    Some may not be applicable.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Jetpack890L is up and running but still no internet

    I work Chelsea Manhattan and we lost both our phone and internet when Sandy rolled through.
    Verizon sent us a Jetpack 890L to connect to EuFI890 (that's what the sticker says) to help us get back online, but it simply doesn't work.
    Maybe we're doing something wrong, but here's what happens.
    Whenever we turn the device on, it claims to have full bars and does appear on our computer's list of wifi connections. We can connect to the network and everything appears to be going smoothly. The device says it is connected, the computer says it has a full bar connection to the device and also says we have internet access. However, when we go to our browser, there is no connection. It simply loads until it times-out.
    We've tried resetting the device as well as rebooting the computer and disabling wifi multiple times, but every time the same thing happens.
    Is there a way to resolve this?

        Hey there hetijanm,
    I am glad to hear that after Sandy that you're doing alright! That's what we care about most! Secondly, we want to make sure to give you the best service possible. Now, was this Jetpack on your account? When you received the device, did you activate it on the network? It sounds like you've done all the proper troubleshooting and it does not sound like it's the device. We would want to take a look at the network and your account to see if there was anything further we could do. Please reach out if you're still having issues.
    Thanks!
