Network not showing up, internet works ok

I have a NetGear router and just bought my first Macbook. I have every PC/Tivo connected to this netgear router wired and/or wireless.
I'm running a Macbook with Mac OS x 10.5. Try as I might, I can't get this @$%ing computer to see my PCs.
My PCs can see the Macbook fine. I'm sooo confused. I've enabled file sharing, SMB, printer sharing..but still nothing -- no shared folders.
I saw some google searches that has to have "windows sharing" enabled but I don't see it in the sharing box. Is that an old OS or am I missing it?
Any advice can be appreciated. I have all firewalls off for testing. My PCs see the Mac but not the Mac seeing the PCs. I want to share a printer that's connected via USB to my PC at some point!!! Thanks!

Ok.
First of all, create a new location.
System Preferences -> Network Preferences -> Edit locations
Click on Automatic, then "duplicate location". Once the new location is created, rename it to "home" or something else that is relevant.
Then select that location. Click on Airport -> Advanced -> WINS
Enter WORKGROUP in the appropriate space on this panel and press enter.
Does this work? It could take a few minutes to show up.... so in the meantime, get the IP address of one of your PCs.
In Finder, select "connect to server" from the Go menu.
Enter:
smb://yourPCIPaddress
This should then prompt you for a username and password, and you will be connected.

Blinking amber, "no wireless networks found", rescanning, but internet work

OK - so, everything was fine at home with my airport extreme, hardwired to the modem and my Mac Pro. Wireless worked fine on laptop & iPhone. Today I bought an Airport Express so I can stream music to my stereo. Ran Airport Utility and POOF - blinking amber lights everywhere, utility asking me to rescan over and over because it says I now no longer have any wireless networks - even though the internet works fine. Blinking yellow on base station, blinking yellow on express, yet utility just tells me to rescan, and everything else is grayed out. Banging my head against a wall. Anyone have an idea?

You configure the Express via AirPort Utility. If you cannot see the Express when you open the AU app, click on the AirPort icon (of your Mac) on the upper menu. See if the Express network shows up there. If so, log into that network and open AU again to configure it. If that does not work, get an ethernet cable and connect the Express to your computer. If the Express still does not show up on AU, do a hard reset and try again. Once in AU, you can configure it to try and join or extend your network.

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the SEC network via Watch ESPN on a 2nd gen Apple TV? Software is up to date, but SEC network not showing up as a channel. Using Xfinity - and it appears on iPhone5 but not on iPad2 - both of which are current on IOS. Help!

the wifi router could also be blocking
and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that

Inserted html not showing in Internet Explorer

Inserted html code does not show in internet Explorer 8. Is OK with Firefox, Safari and Chrome. Site is munroestudios.com. Also made a a test page with just the html on munroestudios.com/test.html. This is a iframe code received from another company to link to another site.

I'm not sure what they did but the company supplying the html code fixed something on their end. Works now.

TS1398 wi-fi network not providing an internet connection

wi-fi network not providing an internet connection
I have done everything there is to do. Reset my netgear reset password etc and still no connection. I use to have connection but got a new I pad and can not set it up.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Do not reset your router. Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Webpage does not show in Internet Explorer but does show in all other browsers?

I have created a webpage, www.nqms.co.uk, it does not show on Internet Explorer. I have tried to troubleshoot via the net and have used a CSS check program etc. but it still won't appear. Any help would be gratefully received.

Add the closing --> comment tag to your css section before the closing </style> tag (see below)

Connected to Wireless Network, Not Connected to Internet...

Hi All
I recently had my NVIDIA graphics card replaced as it freaked right out the other day.
I took my MacBook Pro home yesterday and everything was perfect. It connected to my wireless network @ home as normal, and was functional all night.
I have come to work today, and it automatically joined up with the network here. Only problem is, that whilst it connects to the network here, and obtains an IP address as well, as soon as I try to connect to the internet, it says that I am not connected to the internet!!!
Now the finer details:
* I have reset EVERYTHING. Routers, Modems, Computers etc
* All firmware is still the same as it was pre-nvidia fix up.
* Distance is not a problem, I am sitting next to the wireless router.
* An ethernet cable from the router to my computer ALLOWS access to the internet
* My Iphone can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the internet.
* A windows PC can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the net.
* I can see that it is connected to the router AND given an IP address.
Please help!!!

I had the same problem. I sent my MBP to get a Logic Board/Nvidia fix and when it came back I could no longer connect to networks using DHCP. I have to manually put in my IP, Subnet, etc. for every network I join.
Randomly about a week in I had some pop-up window show up asking me to allow incoming network connections for something and when i clicked on it I was able to us DHCP again. Just tonight it stopped working and I am once again in the position where i have to manually input IP info, etc.
Super Frustrating

"Network" not showing up

I have an iPhone 4 and when I go into settings>general, the Network tab is not showing up. It also says that I have a VPN, but will not show an APN. I downloaded the iPhone Config Utility, but I'm not sure what I need to do once I have that open to fix this problem. Is it even fixable? I just started using StraightTalk today and want to get all this figured out so I can have access to data. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

There are two laptops already on the network and working. On the new laptop, when I go to sign on to the network, there is one named "linksys" on it but not "ralphsnetwork". When I put the wireless code in, I get "wireless code mismatch". The other two laptops show "ralphsnetwork" as the network they are connected to. Should the name of my network show up on the new laptop? Or is the one showing up named "linksys" actually my network. If it is, my wireless code will not work on it.

Just a thought.
You did not mention 'Look for shared music'.
It's in Preferences>Sharing in iTunes.

Here are the Knowledge Base articles about sharing music:

Div background color not showing in Internet Explorer 8 and before

My Footer div is not showing the background color (supposed to be black...) in Internet Explorer 8 and earlier. It's assuming the body color instead. Also the border color on top of the 'bubbles' that run across the page is wrong (supposed to be blue)    Is this just because Internet Explorer 8 and earlier did not support div background and border colors yet, or is there a work-around?? Or maybe I did something wrong?

It should be OK with rgb but not rgba.

No its doesnt

Networks not showing up in airport

My airport is on, but no networks are showing up. Just started to happen. Everything was fine until I installed an airport express. The airport express is on and working, but not showing up as a network too.
Any thoughts out there?
Thanks!

Same problem here. Although I'm using Leopard from a clean install. It says searching when i first click open the AP menu open, but then it just shows the network I'm on. Though once and awhile the other networks briefly show up too.....

Home network not showing up in Finder

My desktop PC is connected to my router by ethernet; MacBook Pro wireless. Due to a printing issue, I need to copy files from MacBook to PC to print. Sometimes, despite being on, PC does not show up under "Shared" in Finder. Is there a way in Snow Leopard of "seeing" which computers are currently attached to the home network?
Note - this is an intermittent problem; probably 2/3 of the time, the PC shows up no problem!

Open Terminal and issue the following command
ps aux | grep netbios[d]
if you get a line similar to this
_netbios 45 0,0 0,0 2477156 2456 ?? SNs 9:14am 0:02.44 /usr/sbin/netbiosd
then the daemon is running, otherwise issue the following command to start netbiosd permanently
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.netbiosd.plist

Font not showing in Photoshop (works in non-Adobe programs)

Hi all,
One of the fonts I want to use in Photoshop CS6 is not showing up. I installed the font, it is working in Word / Gimp / Paint.Net etc, though not in Photoshop or Illustrator. In the picture below you see the font preview, the installed font properties, a preview in Word and the absence of the font in Photoshop.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Bram

There must be something in the font's encoding that Adobe doesn't like. If you run the font through an application like Font Validator it shows several errors. I guess Adobe apps are more stringent with fonts than other applications.

Amount Column not showing up in Work Order

Hi,
We use SAP Business One 2007A. We have a work order program which is an add-on. When viewing a list of work orders or when viewing open items list for work orders, the amount column does not show up. I tried everything with the format settings and it wont work. Any solutions to this?
Please let me know..
Thank you,

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
What add-on is this? Is this open item list for work orders by the add-on?
Thanks,
Gordon
