No internet access in Leopard

I have bootcamp installed with Windows XP. I can connect to the internet fine on the windows xp partition wirelessly. When I boot into Mac OS X Leopard, it sees the network but will not let me connect. I am using WAP security and am sure I am entering the right password.

"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked.

Client Internet Access Issue

Hi,
I just set up a leopard server 2 days back and everything seems to work properly. It is behind a router/switch. I configured my MBP as a directory client and that went fine too. Expect I'm having issues while accessing certain things:
1) Mail can't access the Gmail IMAP server and other external servers, It DOES connect to the leopard server's mail service.
2) Adium looses connection to AIM/MSN etc.
3) I cannot access any web sites in Safari (Amazingly enough I found out that I can access Wikipedia.org but can't go to any other sites, even Apple.com doesn't work) this shows there is internet connection but leopard is acting goofy.
Interestingly, Transmission works fine... It downloads & uploads torrents perfectly fine.
Windows machines on the network seem to work fine. only Leopard clients are acting up.
I tried making a VPN connection to the leopard server from my MBP and then I can access everything. But it's not the solution I'm looking for since VPN connection drops every now and then. Plus it doesn't really make sense to make a VPN connection while you're on the LAN.
Any ideas what's wrong? How to go about solving this issue. This is my first Mac Server so I'm out of ideas.

The Mac clients automatically configured themselves to use the Leopard server as the DNS server... which was causing the issue... properly delegated the DNS and everything is up and running!

Wireless Internet access via requires unplugging cable modem -

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (10.6.1) and Airport Express (7.4.2). I have high speed Internet via Comcast/cable modem. I spent 30 minutes with the Apple Tech Support folks and was finally able to get wireless internet access. However, after I shutdown and reboot, the only way I can wireless internet is to unplug the internet cable from both the wall plug and cable modem and unplug the modem, both for about two minutes. This isnt what I had in mind when I crossed over from the dark side (PC laptop world) and am having buyer's remorse. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem (i dont want to unplug cables before each session on the internet)?

Mr. Timmons,
Thank you so much for the response. I thought the complete reboot would work, but apparently not. I followed the directions precisely, even waiting a few minutes longer than suggested for each of the steps. My air express is still blinking yellow. I think the issue has something to do with the DHCP and the IP address which are diifferent. The IP address is one series of number (starts with 169), and the LAN IP address is another number (starts with 10). Status on airport express show yellow for internet connection, and yellow for no DSN servers. When I go to the internet tab of airport utility, it shows the iPv4 address starts wutg the 169 number. When I click on the network tab, the DHCP range starts with the 10 number. When I open the Network Options window, the iPv4 DHCP range starts with the 10 number. I am at a loss as to how to get them to match up (with either the 169 number or the 10 number). V/R sjbgtmo

Very slow internet access..... - interesting issue !

I have 3 computers at home: PC XP, PC Vista and a new imac 24'' since 4 weeks....
As side comment I'm disappointed in Apple... I expected much more… more issues than Vista seems….
10.4.11 + Safari 3.0.4 + Firefox.
Internet on my Mac is very slow. On the same network (wireless with WEP 128) when I enter a new page on my PC and Mac at the same time it take to the Mac approx 5 time more time to display (safari or firefox)…
On safari I have empty the cash and “reset safari”…still the same….its dam slow for Internet access. I also removed the Wireless encryption but still the same….
Does somebody have a clue what it could be?

The DNS is coming from the dsl provider. Very often your router simply gets the dns automatically. With Leopard, I suspect some of the settings are such that things time out before the dns gets through. What I did was look up what the actual IP number of the dsl providers dns was. I added the IP number of the dns provider to my router. So far that seems to have solved my WiFi delays with Leopard (although that could just be a co-incidence).
Exactly how you add the IP number to a router is router dependent. Mine is a netgear, and you do it through a web page link to the router's IP number (which will be listed in the manufacturer's handbook). Generally something like 192.168.0.1
Hope that helps.

Self-Assigned IP via router - no internet access - HELP!

Hi all,
I have 10.5.7 leopard installed on my C2D Macbook.
In the past, I never had any issues connecting to wireless routers with internet connection.
As of late, I am currently getting 'Self assigned IP address' which does not allow me to connect to the internet. It is connected to the router, but just no internet access. I can see the other Shared computers (Windows PC and mate's macbook pros) but just no web access. And they do not have a problem connecting to the internet.
I have attempted the following:
1) Turned on & off Airport.
2) Deleted network connections and re-created them, rebooted in safe & PRAM modes.
3) Deleted router Key chain permissions & changed permissions to 'access all'.
4) Deleted plist files from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
5) Off Firewall & verified against the logs to ensure it is disabled.
6) Re-installed 10.5.7 combo updates.
7) Rebooted router, changed router channel, etc. Router is on the latest Netgear firmware.
8) Assigned IP address and entered the DNS, router values manually in Leopard.
9) Clicked on renew DHCP lease several thousands to no avail..
Occasionally, DHCP will work. But once I reboot & awake the mac the internet connection drops and 'Self Assigned IP' happens.
Does anyone else have any ideas? My only conclusion is that the bug is in Leopard 10.5.7.

Make sure your router has the latest firmware. If you are out of range of the WiFI or in a marginal area, this error simply indicates that your computer is not able to access an internet router/server and simply assigns the default IP address which is of the form 169.254.xxx.xxx. Basically it's a flag that lets you know you are not connected to a DHCP server.

My kids have figured a workaround for the internet access control

I was quite happy with Network Magic until my kids rendered it fairly ineffective by a simple workaround. The internet access control seems to be tied into each PC's clock. So, my kids simply change the time on the computer and ... Voila! Internet access whenever the parents aren't around. I was kind of hoping the internet access schedule would be linked to the time on the router. I'm hoping this can be fixed.
Message Edited by molsoncdn on 12-13-2009 06:58 PM

Hi, set your kids user accounts to not be admins, and set the BIOS password, this will migate that workaround.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Lost localhost now all internet access

Hi
Os X 10.6.8 MacMini
Recently I wanted to set up a webserver so I demo'ed Mamp pro, didnt like it so moved onto Xampp and finally decided to use the one built into snow leopard. It works well and i'm pleased with it.But since then, and it may be unrelated, I've had a problem accessing localhost:8080 on Safari. I have a small app running a server on that port and the past year or more I've been able to access the front end of the app by localhost:8080. Now I cannot it gives the cannot find localhost server error. I did lots of surfing to find the answer but never found an answer.
This morning it was still unresponsive on Safari but I tried it on Google Chrome and it worked. I decided that it must be Safari at fault so I opened up timemachine and restored safari from a month ago..typed in localhost:8080 and it worked, I was well happy. But now sad because localhost is the only address that works . I have no internet access, all external address fail with the server not found error. Safari & Chrome the same.
Please help..
If I updated to Lion would that resolve the problem??
Tony

Recheck the policies again you have set...Might be the settings are not correct..Check this link for setting Access Restriction.
Please let us know if you still face any problem and also send the screen-shots for the Access Restriction settings.

Guest Internet access in the Enterprise

We have set up guest internet access in our enterprise using GRE tunneling with a PIX. I'm trying to determine the best way to do authentication for users on this guest network.
I think I can do RADIUS (using ACS) with the PIX as an NAS. Question is can I use a different type of server (such as MS IAS)? Can I use either one to utilize an existing MS Active Directory database?
If I use radius on the pix for authentication, a login prompt pops up when a user tries to use the web. Is there a way to redirect users to a web page first and have the login embedded on the page? This is done in hotels now and I don't know if there's a Cisco solution for this.

JetPack 4G LTE connects but "no internet access" message

Would appreciate any help.
My JetPack 4G LTE mi-fi connects to the internet (3G or 4G) and shows that my devices are connected to it. However, I cannot get on the internet.
1) I have three different devices - two laptops and a smartphone. All three have the same problem.
2) I have a Sprint Mi-Fi that I use for a different business. All three devices can and do connect to that device and work properly on the internet during the same sessions in which they cannot connect on the Verizon JetPack. So it is not the devices I am trying to connect with.
3) The exact same thing has happened several times over the course of about 4 days and in two cities and two states - all three devices unable to connect via JetPack but connect fine through Sprint Mi-Fi. So it is not location or local network issue.
4) LED display on JetPack, in all instances, show a strong 3G or 4G (depending on where I am) signal and also that all three devices are connected.
5) Message on laptop wireless area shows connection but says "no internet access".
6) Under the wireless status or details, it says (on the list of info): "IPv4 no internet access" and "IPv6 no internet access".
7) I have done a battery pull with no effect.
8) I have done a factory reset (power up, remove cover, press reset button until long green light and short green light) with no effect.
9) After both battery pull and factory reset, I still show connected to 3G, all three devices connected, no internet access, and all three devices then work on the Sprint mi-fi.
10) Symptoms started about 4 days ago and have not changed since - it is not a come-and-go problem. It is not working at any time.
I am hoping to gosh to avoid a long ordeal with tech-support at Verizon. This is a company-issued device, so I could ask my company to take it up with Verizon, but I work remotely and access to the IT department is not that simple either. thought I would see if I am missing something simple. I hope I've given enough info for someone brighter than myself here can spot something I could do.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you for your response. I am having trouble logging back into this site to respond (I never created a User ID and don't know my cell phone number as it is a mi-fi and not a cell). I reregisterd for the forums only under a slight ID variation and will continue to do so for this dialog. Thanks very much.
The back of the Jetpack says SSID: "MiFI4620L Jetpack 89B4". I am currently using the device (since the problems began last week) in zip codes 49504 and 49503 - same symptom both places.
Thanks again.

Internet access problems and viewing video on internet

I have very limited interet access most of the time. I get a message: "You are not currently in an area that can handle data communication. ..." I have no problem with email and other features of the phone during this time. The signal at the top of my phone says "GSM". When I am able access the internet, it give me a different signal (can't remember what that is, however). Even then, I cannot view most video clips, such as YouTube clips. They will not load all the way. It states, "Error has occurred in attempting to play media." Help!

I have unlimited internet access, so that's not the problem. Right when I got the phone, I replaced the original data card with a 4G card and enabled mass storage. I have (since my first post) had more access capability by enabling the WiFi (da) which finds my wireless connection at home. I've also been able to view a video clip, not successfully all the way through, however. During viewing, the phone appears to crash, i.e. the screen goes white and then it takes 3-5 minutes for it to reboot. This has also happened when the phone has not even been being used. Also, as I was surfing the net, the phone asked if I wanted to enable Javascript which I did. Is there anything else that I need to enable or do to the phone in order to have a more pleasant experience using the internet and viewing video clips?

Internet Access to Portal located in DMZ

I've seen questions on the forum regarding gaing Internet access to the Oracle Portal located in the DMZ. This answer does not resolve the issue of having multple DADs to access your portal like abc.com and xyz.com. For that see note:162044.1 on metalink. http://metalink.oracle.com.
If you registered a domain name e.g. abc.com and have the portal up and running in the DMZ. Your local network should be accessing the portal just fine. Your computer name for example is portal. The URL translates into http://portal.abc.com. You opened the ports in the DMZ to allow access and wonder why you get partial portal pages, no login, etc. It's becase users can't resolve the DNS entry for portal.abc.com. Call your ISP and get an "A Record" entry. After a few hours and propogation of the A Record, users on the Internet can successfuly access your site. This A Record should be free.
Good luck
Kellan

Hi,
You've to open the ITS for internet for accessing things from Portal too. As I've told you in previous post, the request goes directly to ITS server (http://itsserver.com/scripts..) and not as (http://myportal.com/scripts..). The idea of having it via Portal will be to mask the URL of ITS , which will not be visible (except for time you click on iview which will display in status bar). In any case, you can directly acces ITS as what you've told, however you give the proxy.
Regards,
Siva

Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

Wireless internet access issues

Hi All,
Now that I have the back up battery issue resolved and my mac works again, need some help with my airport connectivity.
I have a circa 2000 Imac DV, using OS 9.1. I just purchased and installed an airport card. I used to use dial up internet access and am now trying to access the internet via my Verizon wireless DSL. The little telephone icon appears on the tool bar. Is this correct?
The computer won't recognize my secure WEP DSL password and seems to try to access the internet via the PPP connection.
I have a secure WEP internet connection. Just a few days ago a friend of mine was able to access the internet from my DSL via her new powerbook. Her computer accepted my WEP password.
Do I need to make any system configuration changes to turn off the PPP connectivity to use my airport card?
Thanks, Ken

Wireless Internet Access (Cisco IP NGN or Cisco Wireless Mesh Networkin)??

Dear Cisco Wireless Team
Please educate us on where to start, or the CISCO product we might need to purchase
We are trying to branch out a new Internet wireless access and wireless phone service business in our company, and presently looking for the right Cisco product solution to purchase to enable us offer this service in LAGOS, NIGERIA.
The service will be rendered in Africa, the country NIGERIA, and the city LAGOS.
We would like to mount or install the product in Lagos, Nigeria.
As we are new to this kind of service. We would appreciate if the Cisco wireless team can work with us in pointing or directing on the right product to purchase and what are required. We understand the Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking Solution, Cisco IP Generation Network, Cisco 12416 or 7600 Series Router might be the right products to purchase, but we are not sure on what needed or what are required to meet our service need.
Possibly we would like to offer Wireless Internet Access to unlimited subscribers, and also Wireless or Mobile Phone service to unlimited subscribers in Nigeria.
Anticipating your reply

I suppose Cisco Wireless Mesh Networking would be a good choice.The Cisco mesh architecture makes it easy to scale coverage as capacity needs dictate, including increasing access point density; adding wired connections, controllers, and radios; and using dual high-powered, high-sensitive radios and a selection of high-gain antennas.Refer the document for IP NGN in the following URL http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns537/networking_solutions_solution_category.html
