Network currently connected how ever one pc not connected to the internet
i have the wrt54gl and i got 2 pc's wired and ps3 connected wireless. my dell deminsion e520 was working fine yesterday however today I am unable to connect to the internet today. I reseted everything change the ports and still nothing for e520. But i am still able to share files thru-out the network even my ps3 could see my computer also. any suggestion?
As you have mentioned in the post, only you 1 PC is not able to go online through the router, an you all other computers are able to go online? If you have any Firewall or Antivirus installed on your computer, try disabling it,and then check if you are able to go online from your Dell PC. If still you are not able to go online then you may try Click on Start - RUN - CMD - "ping yahoo.com" and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then i feel it might be the problem with your Internet Explore.
Click on Start - Control Pannel - Internet Options - then click on the "Connections" tab and below click on"LAN Settings" and uncheck all the checkboxes and click on Ok.
Now open your IE and check if you are able to browse internet on your computer.

Error comes up in iTunes on check for updates "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later." Currently connected to the internet, on HP Laptop running latest version of Windows 7.
I get the same problem running the diagnostics. Says network connections are present and in the green, but unable to connect to iTunes Store.I downloaded the Microsoft Autoruns package and ran it. There are no programs in the LSA Providers tab, and Apple's Bonjour is the only program in the Winsock Providers tab. I also did the "netsh winsock reset" and rebooted. It didn't fix the problem. Any more ideas?

Airport Network Doesnt Connect to the internet!
Hi,
I recently had a long powercut in my area and when the power finally came back on my netgear router would no longer connect to the internet and not even push out a signal (the ethernet cable still feeds internet when plugged directly into the macbook however). I figured the powercut damaged the router and replaced it with the new Apple Base Station Extreme as I already had an Express extending my network via another ethernet cable upstairs which worked fine.
The problem is still there with the new router. I have set the new network up in Airport Utilitly and the Extreme and Express dont always work. More often than any other issue is the the Internet is flicks from green to orange. The internet ethernet cable I plug into the Extreme clearly feeds internet but as soon as I plug it into the base station I get nothing (im assuming there may have been nothing wrong with my netgear router now and a problem with my connection).
I have reset the Extreme and Express many times and it works for a while (sometimes), but then I try to connect my ipad/iphone or smart TV to the network and it drops out. All products are apple apart from the TV. So frustrating as I never had these problems before this particular powercut!
Here are some screen shots of my network:
1) This is with the internet plugged directly into the macbook
2) This is with the ethernet cable (which feeds the internet) plugged into the Extreme (and etherent cable from extreme into mac book otherwise you sometimes can see the base stations). With this picture I couldnt access internet or base stations settings.
Sometimes however the system does work and then suddenly drops out. I have checked my DSL modem/router which feed the internet and there are no problems with it. It doesnt seem consistant at all. How can it suddenly work then drop out? This happens as soon as I connect another device like my ipad as well, then I have to reboot all over. I cant imagine that every device in my house are broken! My network has gone to pot!
Sending this with the ethernet plugged into my mac book direct haha!
Would be most grateful if anyone can help!Images didnt work in first post, this is the first

Using an existing network to connect to the internet
My Mac connects automatically to the wireless network in my parents house, but can not access the internet 'can not find the server'. The internt works fine on other computers on the network. On previous visits the internet has worked fine.
Has something been changed by the recent os x updates? Does anyone have any ideas? Interestingly my iPod Touch can not find a server either.
Thanks for your help.Hi, try this?
Yeah, sometimes an update will change things to their default settings.
Are you typing in the Name and Password to get into your network, if it's hiding it's name (ssid).
Make sure your not on the the neighbors network? At a wireless motel I stay at sometimes there will be three or four networks that show up and I can usually connect to a couple (no password) but I won't be able to get on the internet (password). I'm taking for granted that you can "see" your parents network name in the "Preferred Networks" drop down menu in the Network panel. Can you log into your parents computer to, say, if you wanted to transfer files?
Click on TCP/IP and compare this window to your parents computer. The only difference should be the "IP Address:" with only the last three numbers being different (other then "IPv6" which is set automatically).
If everything looks the same and your parents haven't had to reset their Router since your last visit which does put things back to their defaults, you might try clicking on the "Assist Me..." button at the bottom of the "TCP/IP" window and let the trouble shooter try it's hand at it. Try going to "Discussions"/"Computing Hardware"/go to what ever your "puter is and then go to "Internet/Networking" part and it should narrow it down pretty good from there.
For the life of me I know it's happened to me a few times but I can't put my finger on it, sorry.
Have a Happy Holday... -
My laptop connects to the internet via my wireless network at home. My ipad will not bring up the internet using the same connection. It shows in the wi-fi settings as connected but when I bring up safari, nothing comes up. Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Computer thinks it is connected to the internet when it's not
I posted this in the "Using your PowerBook" category, but I realized it may have to do with internet and networking than anything else. So I thought I'd put it here too.
When logging into my account on my PowerBook, I get the spinning colored wheel and the menu bar takes over a minute to come up. The dock comes up right away, and the status icons (i.e. battery meter, AirPort indicator, Bluetooth, etc...) load at their normal speed. But I get no menu bar, no desktop icons, and no little black triangle under the Finder icon for over a minute. I can click icons on the dock, but nothing will come up until the menu bar has loaded and the colored wheel disappears. After this everything works fine. Applications are plenty fast. I can fast switch between accounts and mine will come back fairly quickly. However, as soon as I actually log out of my account and then log back in, it goes very slowly again. Everyone's account on the computer does the same thing.
I have noticed that the problem only occurs when I am connected to my wireless network at home and the Linux machine which serves as the gateway/router for my network is not connected to the internet. However, this is the case most of the time because I can't get high-speed internet in my area, so I'm stuck with dial-up.
I have a similar problem with iTunes 6.0.4 on my Power Mac G5 Quad running OS X 10.4.6. The G5 is connected to my wireless router with an ethernet cable and whenever the Linux box isn't online and I put a CD into the computer, iTunes spends a minute plus trying the query the online database for the CD info and won't display the CD until the operation times out. However, if I unplug the ethernet cable, the CD comes up instantly. I guess the OS assumes that it is connected to the internet as long as an ethernet cable is plugged in and it has an IP address. The G5 has no login problems though.
This makes me think that the same thing is going on with my PowerBook, because whenever I turn off AirPort, logins become much faster. I don't think the problem has anything to do with my AirPort card however, because logins are just as fast with it on, as long as my Linux machine is connected to the internet. My theory is that something is trying to access the internet at login because it thinks it has a connection, and it is holding everything else up until the operation times out. Does anyone have any clues as to what could be the culprit?
This may sound crazy but I'm pretty sure I first noticed the login problem on my Powerbook after upgrading it to iTunes 6. That might have been a coincidence though because I also upgraded the OS to 10.3.9 right around that time. I can't remember in what order, but the problem with iTunes on my G5 makes me suspicious because I know that problem started with the iTunes upgrade. Strangely, I don't have the iTunes problem on my PowerBook even though I'm running the same version thats on my G5. I guess it's the difference between Panther and Tiger.
I've tried everything from a permissions repair to a clean erase and install in an effort to fix the login problem on my PowerBook. After I restored the the original 10.3 that shipped with it, the problem seemed to vanish, but as soon I a ran Software Update and installed the latest version of everyting, the problem resurfaced. Unfortunately I didn't realize the correlation between the problem and my internet connection at the time, so it may have been just a coincidence.
I've tried bringing the PowerBook in to the Genius Bar at my local Mac store several times and the problem seemed to mysteriously disappear whenever I tried to demonstrate it there. Now I realize that was probably because I was not connected to my home network where the computer thought it was online when it really wasn't. I'm planning to bring them both in again when I get the chance, but "Geniuses" are few and far between at the Genius Bar and you have to get the right person in order to get anywhere. I was hoping someone out there might know how to solve these problems. Can anyone help?Believe it or not, that article helped me find a temporary solution. After reading it I realized that the problem did have to do with my DNS settings. I had taken the DNS settings that my ISP gives me when I dial up and plugged them into the configuration for my AirPort card. This apparently caused a problem because, although my wireless network is always on, it's not always connected to the internet. So those DNS settings were invalid most of the time.
I found that as long as I leave the area for DNS servers blank, the computer logs in normally. This further confirms my suspicion that something was trying to access the internet at login. I guess as long as I don't specify any DNS servers, the computer realizes it doesn't have an internet connection through my AirPort card.
So I just created two network locations: one for when my network is connected to the internet and one for when it isn't. In the first, I kept my original DNS settings because they work as long as I have an internet connection. In the second I did not specify any DNS servers. This seems to work fine, but I'd still like to know what is trying to access the internet at login. I've disabled the automatic update feature in all my programs that have it, but that doesn't seem to help the slowdown at login. Does anyone know how I could figure out what program is trying to access the internet? -
Hi,
My MacBook Pro won't connect to the internet, although it says it is connected. The laptop is about 2 years old and up until now has worked fine. My work PC laptop is connecting to the internet fine so I know it can't be the connection. I've checked for Adware/Malware (just in case) via safemac and that all seems fine.
I'm running OSX 10.8.5.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Cannot connect to the internet with laptop
Background: Started out with iMac connected to Apple Airport Extreme base station via wireless that is connected to broadband/cable linksys modem befcmu10. Then setup Apple Macbook 13" to access internet through Apple Airport Extreme base station via wireless. Worked fine, spectacular. Then setup HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One printer to be accessed through Apple Airport Extreme base station. Again, worked flawlessly. Then setup and "installed" an offline internet Skype phone [Philips VOIP8411B/37] so I could use it's services and not need a computer to be on. It's connected to the Apple Airport Extreme via Ethernet. To get it up and running, I had to reboot my modem and router. Right after I got it up and running I noticed that the Skype phone was working and the iMac was working but the laptop was now not able to connect to the internet.
Present: Finally able to get back to finding a solution, I was trying to look at settings in the network system preferences and researching things to try. Also going to the Airport Utility program trying different things like having it distribute IP address and having it find DNS servers automatically, etc etc etc. Nothing was working to get the Macbook back online. So I rebooted the modem and router again [because i have been experiencing problems with cable company] just for the heck of it. Wa-la, the iMac and laptop were now both using the internet. But before I realized what was happening, the Skype phone was not able to establish a connection. So before I stopped for the night, I shut everything down and rebooted the cable modem and router.
Next morning I awoke and the Skype was working but the iMac and Macbook weren't able to connect. After trying to fiddle with System Preferences and Airport Utility I resorted to reboot the modem and router. iMac worked, Macbook didn't, Skype worked. After a full day of researching, reading and fiddling with preferences on the macs end, I decided to try the reboot of modem and router. Got iMac online, Macbook online, Skype not.
Discovered problem: Apparently only two of the three devices can connect to the "internet" through the Aiport Extreme base station at a time. So right now, I have to sacrifice one device not to connect to the internet. It's the Macbook for now. From what i can see, the use of the printer is not affected [but it's only setup on the iMac].
I've gone into the network diagnostics on the Macbook and under Network Status on the left, Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP are all green, while Internet and Server are yellow for a second while it searches but turn red and stay red. Contacted cable company and everything is good on their end and they couldn't help further. Something is wrong on my end. Now on to apple care or forum help.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion of what to do or where to look? Do I have to change something in the Apple Airport Extreme base station? Network setting? Any help would be much appreciated, it's frustrating and time consuming and I'd like to get it all up and running.
Thank you for your time.
BCSlck1I don't have an answer, but I experienced the same problems trying to set up an airport express to route traffic to my stereo.
Apple Extreme router, iMac and laptop all worked just fine for months, upon installing Airport Express (step by step, according to instructions), all **** broke loose. Airport Utility was unable to see my Airport Extreme router, after hours of rebooting computer, cable modem, router, and finally a hard reset of the Airport Extreme router, it is finally recognized by Airport Utility again.
Recreated network, iMac connects to the internet just fine, laptop (Macbook Air) connects to the network just fine, but will not connect to the internet. Network diagnostics does not help, it gets to the "do you have a router? If so, reboot" stage, and never seems to see the router.
Any suggestions? -
I have an iPad on v5.01. I am unable to use my wifi network to connect to the internet. My wife's iPad works fine. Please advise any potential solutions.
Have you checked to see if your WiFi router needs to have your iPad's MAC address specifically permitted to use WiFi? Some WiFi routers have a section in the settings called "Access List", possibly under "Security".
You can find the MAC address in Settings > General > About > Wi-Fi Address -
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 advanceYou 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 -
My ipad recognizes my home network but will not connect to the internet. When I click on AirPort/preferences at the top of the imac screen it says..."AirPort has a self-assigned ip address and may not connect to the internet". If this is the root of the problem,how can I change ip address?
Ipad will connect no problem to other networks.First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly. -

when i click on safari to use the internet it says "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet", but i am connected to a wifi network so how do i get safari to work?
you may be connected to the wireless network but the question is the internet working properly on the wireless network...
what i mean is that i can make a wireless network without the internet so i can save and share files and have other devices connected to the same network access them... but you have to make sure that your internet it running properly... may have to reconfigure the router is your using PPPOE or if it was working prior to your post then try to restart your modem... that usually resolves most issues. -
I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?
Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.
