New PC laptop - can get on Airport Network but can't access internet

Just got a new HP laptop for real estate reasons (MLS is only available through a PC).
All of my other computers are Macs and my wireless network is on a Airport Basestation.
I can access the network with the PC but can't get on the internet even though I'm on the network.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, you have a completely different situation than that of the Originator of this post. In your case, you're using your Mac as a software base station and not a wireless router.
The following would be the setup steps...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac > (wireless) > PC
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start

  • Laptop can't access Internet through Westell 7500 router

    My son came home from college with a laptop that is running Tiger 10.4.10. If he takes his laptop to the local library and uses the wireless network there, he can access the Internet. But, his laptop does not appear to work with our Westell 7500 router. He is getting an error message that says "There was an error in joining the airport network..."
    The router works fine with our 10.5.2 (Leopard) iMac and it also works with PC laptops.
    I checked System Preferences-Network- Show - Airport, under the TCP/IP settings. The IP address is set to 192.168.1.1, which is the address of our gateway. The router and DNS server fields are blank. The iPv4 field is set to configure manually.
    I have tried putting the IP address into both the router and DNS server fields but this does not work.
    I have searched the Discussions but there does not appear to be anyone with this problem who has this type of router. Does anyone know what the settings should be for the laptop and router to communicate?

    It won't work if you try to give it the same ip as the router.

    The easiest way is to get the settings from the iMac and put the same settings into the laptop. At least, that is a good start. How is your router configured? It is quite unusual to use "configure manually". Are you sure this is correct? If you're not sure, try "Using DHCP" instead. Leave everything else blank. See if that works.
    It isn't really a question of which particular router but more of how the router is configured. That's why looking at the iMac which does work with your set up may be a good place to start.
    Try those two strategies. If that doesn't work, let me know what settings the iMac is using.

  • Currently use Airport Express -1st Generation-to access internet -purchased 2014 Airport Extreme base station -can I import Express back up configuration to keep current settings . Or is it best to do new Airport Extreme as a new Network .

    Currently use Airport Express -1st Generation-to access internet -purchased 2014 Airport Extreme base station -can I import Express back up configuration to keep current settings . Or is it best to do new Airport Extreme as a new Network .

    Just spoke with Cisco about the router.  They said the router is compatible with the E1500.  They suggested that I contact Apple to see if their default IP address was that same as the router (192.168.1.1).  They told me I would have to change it if that was the case.  How would I do that?

  • I installed a new airport express and made it part of my existing home network...  now the PCs can't access internet through the airport extreme or the cisco access points

    Everything works perfect with Macs, iPhone, iPads but I have 2 pcs that now can't access internet. The PCs connect to the airport and my other access points but no internet- The PCs sent an error of DNS

    Yes, as we already said, it will do all of this if you have a good wireless signal reaching the bedroom.
    Remember that an extender or repeater or whatever you want to call it can only extend the quality of signal that it receives.
    The Ethernet signal that the Express delivers will only be as good as the quality of the wireless connection between the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    If you have doubts, make sure that you understand the store's return policy before you buy.

  • New Ipod Touch 5g can't access Internet in home network (using Linksys E4200 router). But, OK with other Wifi.

    Just bought new Ipod Touch 5g. I found out it can't access Internet in home network. not really cannot access, but very slow to open any web page, App Store failed to access, etc. But, OK with other Wifi (office & starbucks). Others existing iOS devices (Iphone4 & Ipad2) have no problem like this. I'm using Linksys E4200 router at home. anyone has any idea why?

    Try:
    - 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 network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    The name of my wireless network in the form of my modem router is not read from the iPhone, while the first era.Il my ipad does not read the network but I surf the internet. Why? What can I do?

    Can I use this DIR-635 to extend the WiFi network of the "Belgacom" WiFi?
    To answer this question correctly, a user would need to have a DIR-635 router connected by Ethernet to a Belgacom router.
    If you think about it, the chances of another user who has these two same devices configured this way and also being on an Apple support forum to see your post are about zero.
    The following might work, but you will not know until you try.
    Configure the DIR-635 to provide a wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name, exact same wireless security and exact same password as the Belgacom wireless router. Make sure that the DIR-635 is configured in Bridge Mode.
    Can I purchase and set-up an Apple Airport Express or Apple Airport Extreme on my level 1 (the ethernet cable running from level 2 to level 1 could plug-into either of those)
    The AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme would need to be configured exactly the same way as mentioned above.
    (What is the difference in the 2 -- one is about twice the price of the other…)

  • IPhone can join WRT54GS network, but cannot connect to internet

    I've got a WRT54GS v.1.1 router w/latest firmware (4.41.4).  My wired and wireless computers (windows XP) can connect just fine and see the internet.  My iPhone 3GS can join the network, but cannot see the internet.  The phone can join the network, gets a DHCP address/gateway/DNS info just fine.  Other machines on the local network can see the phone and vice-versa.  However, any time the iPhone tries to reach out to the internet, a message pops up saying "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".
    Again, other machines on my network can connect without issue.  My iPhone has no trouble connecting to other WiFi networks.
    I've tried all different wireless encryption schemes, including no password/encryption, with the same results each time.  I've also tried using a static IP address on my phone.  No luck.  MAC filtering is disabled, as is any other access restrictions.
    Finally, I've reset the phone's network settings, reset the router to its factory defaults, and tried everything else I can think of. 
    I've only seen one similar message one these boards with this problem, but it was never responded to.  Anyone seen this before of have other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David 

    Thanks for your response!
    IP:  192.168.1.100  (DHCP-assigned)
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Gateway: 192.168.1.1
    DNS: 66.218.44.5, 66.218.44.90 (the DNS's of my ISP)
    Router's (local) IP address is  192.168.1.1
    Router's internet-facing address is the one assigned by my ISP via their DHCP
    All looks right to me.

  • IPhone connects to secured WiFi network, but can't access Internet

    Problem: iPhone connects to my secured home WiFi network, shows WiFi strength bars at top of screen, displays checkmark, lock, power, and blue arrow on WiFi Networks screen; however, cannot access Internet, iTunes store, stocks, Weather or anything else.
    Tests I've run:

    ---DCHP:
    IP Address = 192.168.2.102 (within range automatically allocated by LinkSys router--see below)
    Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0 (as per LinkSys router)
    Router = 192.168.2.1 (as per LinkSys router)
    DNS = 192.168.2.1 (confirmed by Apple as a valid DNS address given the above information)
    Tests:
    *Forget Network and rejoin--Failed to connect to Internet

    3. Microsoft router MN-500:
    Tried this old router (the one I used before purchasing the LinkSys). It is an old (circa 2002) Wireless B base station with WEP Security. The iPhone was never able to connect to the Internet using various settings, many of which were duplicates of the LinkSys tests above.
    On both routers my wife's Dell laptop and my HP printer connect without incident, using the same network/security settings.
    I have always been able to connect to various unsecured WiFi networks; I have never been able to connect to a secure WiFi network (although the only one I've really tried has been my own).
    I am at a loss as to what to do next. Any suggestions?

    SUCCESS!!!!!
    I visited my brother-in-law yesterday and attempted to connect with his secure network. By sheer luck, he is using the exact same model LinkSys router. My iPhone connected first time--so the iPhone was eliminated as a source of the problem.
    I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting at his house, but I did notice that his network was set for both dynamic DHCP and dynamic DNS. I know that either or both of Windstream (my ISP) and my broadband modem requires a pair of static DNS addresses.
    Sure enough, delving real deep into Windstream's support site, I discovered a LinkSys router DNS help page, specifying how to set static DNS addresses in LinkSys routers. I then accessed my router, enterd the known static addresses, saved the router settings, then rebooted the iPhone and connected to the network.
    SUCCESS!!!
    Thanks to Jane, who suggested it was an ISP issue, Jason, and all at Apple support. dumonj, I'll email you directly. Try this suggestion and see if it helps.

    Okay. We'll try a different utility.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • After I updated to the new OS I can not access my GMail account????

    After I updated to the new OS I can not access my GMail account???? "The user name or password for GMail is incorrect"???

    Found this answer on another thread. It solved my problem:
    For those having gMail issues.
    Go here on your computer (or phone)
    https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha
    Unlock your account.
    They will block checking if you check too often from a variety of IP's. So jumping from Cell, to Wifi, to Cell, to another Wifi, etc a lot they will block remote checking and only allow web checking until unlocked.
    Can also happen if you have a computer setup to check at a high interval.

  • IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

    iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?

    You IT person should be able to sort this out.  But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this.  Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
    Any could be lots of things.
    The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc?  The internet settings are all the same.  Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
    Phone works to internet at home, I assume?
