New house, new ISP and mac not connecting to Internet

Ok i give up!
Just moved to a new apartment, and have cable internet access instead of DSL for the first time.
So i have a wirless router from Cablecom, with 4 ethernet ports, but the wireless signal is a bit low so have also connected my Netgear wndr4500 to one of the ports and My PC, ipad and iphone all connect to the Netgear wifi and out to the internet no problems.
The imac running 10.8 connects internally but not to the internet.
I can connect to cablecom router from the mac and access the settings so i know the wireless network is ok on the mac but that seems to be as far as it gets.
I have tried connecting direct via cablecom router wifi, and via ethernet cable to the router and same symptoms.
Have deleted the network and remade it from scratch.
Still same, when i go to google.com ( for example ) it simple says not connected to the internet.
However if i use network utilities on the mac, and ping 173.194.33.50 it returns with all 10 and no packet loss
I put that address in a browser and i get google.com, but can't get past it
So now i'm stumped!
Any suggestions????.
Thanks
David

Launch the Network Utility application.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and enter
google.com
in the address field. Press return. Post the output – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same.

  • New ipad and Macair not connecting to internet

    i just got an ipad and macair. when setting up the wi-fi, it looks as if its connected with all the bars showing. but when i click safari, it says not connected to the internet. i have done everything on the wi-fi help page. and reset the network about 50 times. but always the same result. i really havent tried the macair yet. any suggestions to get it to connect to the internet?

    WPA2/personal - I do have the greed LED light and I can acess the internet on my iMac via the LAN port. I powered off the comcast modem and the Extreme and the iphone and the iPad and then started up the Extreme and then the modem and then the others.  No joy.  on both iPhone and iPad I get 'this webpage is not available' when I try to connect via the wireless network. 
    I keep thinking this is something simple I'm overlooking as I had no problem until I replaced the Extreme.  I did not set up a new wireless network.  Could that somehow be a cause..?

  • Wi-Fi has the self assigned IP address and will not connect to Internet

    MacBook Air will not connect to Internet (no problem with other devices). Message states " Wi-Fi has the self assigned IP adresss 169.254.147.1and will not connect to Internet.

    First, try restarting the router. If there's no change, hold down the option key and select the Wi-Fi menu in the menu bar. What value is shown for Security?

  • New router and can not connect wirelessly

    Installed a new router that changed my security from a WEP to a WPA2. I have connected to the printer(7410) through ethernet cable and changed the security settings but the printer will not connect to my router. I am currently printing by ethernet cable hooked directly into the router. When i try to use the printer interface to cinnect to router the only option that comes up is WEP. 
    Any ideas?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The printer will support WPA, but not WPA2.  It may have previously been connected to WEP and is expecting that.  Let's reset it:
    From the front of hte printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults.  Now try the Wireless Setup Wizard from that same Network menu.

  • New Airport Express will not connect to internet

    I am attempting to upgrade from an old Airport Base Station (the gum drop/flying saucer/mushroom model) to the new and improved mini tower model. I plugged the ethernet cable from the comcast cable modem in and nothing worked - no wireless, no internet, no nothing but flashing amber light. I was able to configure a new wireless network, and it shows up on MBPro running Maverick and iPad using Airport Utility as a functioning wireless network (with the green light on the AE), but it will not connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

    The only step that appears to be missing is to reset your cable or DSL modem. Unplug it and let it rest a moment or two, then power it back up again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2460
    You've done everything right, but still can't connect to the Internet. Why?
    It is likely that the modem locked onto your iMac, and it will ignore anything else you plug into it until the modem has been reset. If you were to plug the iMac back into the modem, it would still connect to the Internet.
    Fortunately, resetting a broadband modem is usually very easy -- just unplug its power supply, wait a moment, and plug it back in. After its indicator lights have gone through their startup routine, you should do the same to the AirPort base station.
    Odds are that you can connect to the Internet now.

  • Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

    just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

    I just had a similar problem.  Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it.  if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on.  i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number. 
    My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2.  The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router.  I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
    Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it.  BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

  • TS1398 New Ipod touch 4 not connecting to internet although wifi is connected

    My daughter's new Ipod touch 4 will not connect to the internet.  It previously did but now Safari is saying it is not connected to the internet - although it is connected to the wifi network fine, and my older Ipod which is sitting right next to it is working without any problem.
    Any hints?

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router.
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • New Macbook Pro will not connect to internet

    It says Airport status ON
    Airport has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.82.29 and will not be able to connect to the internet.
    Does anyone know what this means. I am going crazy with no internet. Thanks

    A self-assigned IP address just means that your computer isn't connected to anything that can assign it a "real" IP address.
    Do you see the AirPort menu item (a series of arcs) in the menu bar? If so, are the arcs gray or black? If they're gray, you're not connected to any wireless network. Do you have your own Wi-Fi network or are you trying to use another one? If you pull down the AirPort menu bar item, do you see one or more wireless networks in the list?

  • HELP!!! New laptop and need to connect to internet

    I just bought a HP dv6t laptop.  It has all the connections labelled very well but I am having a problem getting connected.
    I have a desktop computer as well and I disconnceted the cable from the cablebox/modem and tried to connect it to the port on the right side of my laptop.  It doesn't fit there but it does fit in the networking port on the left side of the laptop.
    How do I connect my laptop to the internet?   I have comcast cable, phone and internet.   There is a snall box with no connection except to the TV and other box.  The second box has many connections, one of which connects from the box to the cable wall outlet.  Do I just need a phone connection line?
    HELP!!!!  Please!!!

  • Mac not connecting to internet

    I am having issues getting my mac to connect to the internet via airport extreme wireless. I have a wireless network set-up, my pc's are connected fine, it is a WEP network. However my mac shows that it is connected to the network, but when I open safari it will not open any pages. It gave response saying it was not connected and it cannot identify the IP address to connect to. I use a linksys WRT54G v5 router to connect via a cable modem. I would appreciate any suggestions because I am a newer mac user and I do not have a lot of knowledge about problems like this. Thanks!

    For your WEP encryption, are you using a passphrase
    or a hex key on the Linksys? If using a passphrase,
    Macs have a "hard" time with these. If you prefer
    WEP, I suggest that you use a 128-bit Hex key
    instead. Better yet, switch to WPA.
    I think that it is a hex key. I do have a password to access the wireless connection. If I switch to WPA, should I switich to WPA-personal, ot does it really matter which WPA it is? Thanks

  • Imac suddenly shut down and will not connect to internet

    Hi, my imac running snow leapord was working fine. Then when I came to it a couple hours after using it it was shut down. When I restarted it would not connect safari or google chrome to internet. However, some websites it could access. All the login websites can still be used. My internet connection is good, I have another computer running on same modem and it works fine and internet provider has checked out the connection and it is good.

  • Safari and iTunes not connecting to internet after 10.5.3 but firefox does

    Hi,
    My first post ever. I just updated to 10.5.3 from 10.5.2 After the update, I can not connect to the internet using Safari. I get an error message that I have no internet conection. I ran the network diagnostics and everything was reported as working correctly. I also ran a repair permissions from disc utilities. Still can not connect with Safari. I also noticed that itunes can not download any podcasts. My "software update" in system perferences can not connect either. Firefox has no problem going online.
    Any suggesttions on how to proceed?
    Thanks

    Also worked on 10.4.11. I installed an Airport Express and updated all the software and firmware on my MacBook. After Safari, Itunes store, Google earth could not connect but Firefox was connecting fine. Followed your tip. Disableing the proxies on the Network config does the trick. Very simple but very helpful, thanks.

  • Laptop and iPhone not connecting to internet, says password is invalid.

    A few days ago, I realized our internet wasn't working as I couldn't go on the internet on my macbook.  My iPhone is not connecting to wifi either.  I go to connect to our internet, and it says the password is invalid but I did not change it.  I've tried unplugging everything and restarting but nothing.  I know our internet is still working as our TV is still working.  Any ideas??  Thanks!

  • New AirPort Extreme will not connect to internet

    Purchased AirPort Extreme to replace older D Link 655 router. All of my Apple gear has been plug and play except this
    Extreme router.  I cannot get an internet connection to save my soul.  I tried connecting thru both my MacBook Pro and my HP Pavilion dv6.  I just assumed I could move the ethernet cord from the DIR-655 to the AirPort and all would be fine.  Not so.  I have reset, unplugged and restarted so many times I lost count.  Nothing works.  What am I doing wrong.  I even swapped out at store where I bought thinking I had defective router.  any ideas?  My wife works from home and I really need a better router with greater reach and thought this was it.  Please help.

    Simply restarting the modem will not always allow it to reset correctly so that it will issue a new valid IP address to the AirPort Extreme.
    Power off the cable modem completely for at least 30 minutes....longer will not hurt. Be sure to unplug the power cord from the back of the modem or unplug the power cord at the AC wall jack. If the modem has an easily accessible battery, pull the battery.
    Power off the AirPort Extreme as well.
    After the modem power down period, insure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme. Reinstall the modem battery if it was installed previously.
    Power up the modem and let it run for 10 minutes by itself.
    Then power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for a few minutes. Check to see if the Internet connection is working correctly now.
