Network Manager get ip but no connection to the internet

Hi guys,
I'm new to Arch, and first of all I must say that I think I'm going to love it :-)
Never seen a package manager so fast to install a lot of packages! And it's kinda cool to have everything under control.
But here is a problem I don't have under control : I've installed networkmanager following the wiki on my kde4 desktop and I've got a weird behaviour. Everything seems to work perfectly, nm-applet launch automaticaly and connect to my network. I can see that my wireless card got an ip using ifconfig and iwconfig show me associated. BUT none of my apps (firefox, konqueror, ping...) can see that I'm connected!
So I've made a little script to connect me by hand using iwconfig and dhcpcd but that's not a real solution since I use a lot of different wireless network...
So if any of you has an idea that will be nice ;-)
A little bit more about my configuration :
rc.conf :
#eth0="dhcp"
#wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !wlan0)
I've tried with and without the # before the two interface without any change.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond hal kdm networkmanager dbus)
Tried with both !network and network without any change too.

Ifpluged is for wired networking...
In fact this is not a DHCP problem, as I get an IP without any problem. But I've tried this too, without any change.
The result of NetworkManager --no-daemon is interesting, here with an open network near me, the one that works out of the box with NM :

It's easy to see that NM does not set up the route as it does with the open network...
I'm thinking more and more about posting a bug report about this. What do you think?
Edit : I forgot to mention that I was using NM on various distributions (ubuntu, fedora, opensuse...) without any problem on this network.

Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the internet. Airplay logo not available on ipad3, iPod touch3g and showing intermittently in iTunes on windows laptop. Switched ISP a few days ago. Entered pass key info on all.

I switched ISP a few days ago and had problems with airplay since. After restarting and reinstalling and updating, re entering pass keys for new wi fi on everything, Apple TV shows: Your Apple TV is connected to your wi fi network but cannot connect to the Internet. Ipad3 and iPod touch 3G have no airplay icon or get one briefly then it disappears again. Same with itunes on windows laptop.
Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective??? Thank you!

This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

i am trying to connect to my friend's wifi, i have a very strong signal indicated on my ipad, but cannot connect to the internet. Yesterday i connected without any problem, can anybody tell me why i cannot connect today?

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

Before you try to configure the settings on your Router, first thing which you need to do is, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the Modem to the Linksys Router on the Internet Port and then connect your computer to the Linksys router on the LAN Port 1. On your Computer click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok... Now in the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig" and hit enter and note down the "IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway" , Now again in the Command Prompt window type "ping default gateway IP" and hit enter and check if you are getting any replies, If yes then you can login to the setup page of the configure all the settings on it from scratch.

I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

Welcome!
Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
It goes in an available PCI slot
There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
USB wireless "dongle:"
Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
USB PCI adaptor:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

HT1595 Apple tv will connect to the network but cannot connect to the Internet

My apple tv is connecting to my network but it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I've already tried restarting everything and I've also connected it to my portable mifi network with same results. Anybody have any ideas?

This is what the MAC address clone looks like:
Should I enable it? If so, should I put something in the MAC Address? What? I was able to connect it thru my MiFi, but not my home network. Until today, it's been connected to my home network for about 8 months with no problem. Haven't used it for a while...not since I got a new router.

NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

Hi Nakia,
> I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

Incorrect IP displayed, but can connect to the Internet. How can I find out what's causing this?

I'm running 10.6.8, and various programs and websites that report my IP address are not displaying the correct one. I'm operating with a static IP, and I know my AirPort's IP, and the one displayed is neither of those (and in fact cannot be given out by my airport).
I can still connect to the Internet, but some services which require people to connect to my IP fail because the program on my end is hosting at the wrong IP.
Is there any way to find out where this rogue IP came from and eliminate it?
Of note, my AirPort is my only active network protocol (all others are disabled), and about 10% of the time, a restart manages to fix the problem until the next time I boot up my computer, without me changing any other settings.

When you use the Internet, you need to have a registered IP address. This is provided by your ISP, and you have assigned it to your Router.
You then get a "private" IP Address from your Router via DHCP which, by definition, is not visible or reachable on the Internet, in one of these ranges:
192.168.xxx.yyy
172.xxx.yyy.zzz
10.xxx.yyy.zzz
Your Router acts as your agent on the Internet, and bad guys cannot send you... anything you do not have your Router ask for, as you are invisible.

Wifi on but not connecting to the internet

I've checked all the wifi settings on my Curve 8900 and it seems to be set up properly but when I try to access the internet i get a message saying"Unable to connect to the internet" and in "Manage Connections" alhough there are blue ticks in the left hand box for mobile network, wifi and bluetooth, in the right hand box there is only a green tick for mobile connections and a white line for the other two. I've tried connecting at both home and work and neither works. it used to work fine and I don't know what's changed. Can you help please?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

The computer sees the airport signal but cannot connect to the internet

I have a imac g5 connected wirelessly to my base station & an airport express. The mac part connects to the internet using the network without any problem. My problem is that the pc portion (using Windows XP) of my imac will not connect to the internet using the wireless network. It shows a strong signal but no connectivity. One of the comments that comes up is that the network didn't assign a network address to the computer (I assume the PC portion). Any thoughts how I can get my computer to connect to the wireless network from the PC portion of my mac.
many thanks.

Make sure your Firewall settings are correct. I'm going to share some of my settings in the PC area (please bear in mind that these IP addresses could differ from system to system)
My Windows Firewall is DISABLED. You could do the same temporary and see if it works. I use Zone Alarm Pro Firewall. Make sure in my Control Panel ==> Network connection status, your device shows Airport Express wireless device or router.
Depending in your Internet service provider and geographical zone the IP address could be different.

I can't get my TC to connect to the Internet

I just bought a new time capsule to back up my macs, well I can't get it to connect to the internet to send out wireless internet signal. Both my networks appear, 1. "actiontec" which is my qwest gt701-wg wireless internet signal I am using right now. 2. Jordan's wifi network also appears which is obviously coming from the TC but it is sending no internet. I got the green light to turn on by hitting ignore on two problems that are keeping it from sending internet. It says it can't connect to the internet and I should cycle the router which I have tried and it also says my PPPoE password I believe is wrong which I have wrote on paper that I got from quest. HELP please

+I tried the option to integrate the time capsule to join the existing wireless network using the bridge mode. But is it correct that I cannot use the ethernet port to connect devices with the internet?+
When the Time Capsule is configured to "join a wireless network", the ethernet ports on the device are not enabled. In other words, when the Time Capsule is configured to "join a wireless network", it performs no routing functions at all. It is simply a wireless backup device.
+Do I have to establish a WDS? How wold I do this??? OR is there another way to solve my problem.+
Very few products from other manufacturers are compatible with Apple's WDS arrangement. I couldn't find any compatibility information regarding your router, so suspect that it is not compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
If you are able to do so, connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your existing router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule and configure it to act as a bridge, (Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge mode)). This would enable the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule and even allow you to create another wireless network with the Time Capsule if you need that feature.
If it's not possible to run the ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal from your current router to the Time Capsule location.

Network Manager get ip but no connection to the internet
