No internet access using manual TCP/IP settings after 10.4.6

I stopped being able to access the internet with manual TCP/IP settings in the Network Preferences after updating from 10.4.5 -> 10.4.6.
When I change settings to use DHCP everything works fine, but I need to get the manual settings working as I use them quite often when configuring/setting-up routers.
This happens with both the AirPort and Ethernet interfaces, so it doesn't matter which interface I use to connect through.
My network Locations with manual TCP/IP settings have worked fine with 10.4.5, under the same networking hardware (routers, cables, etc...).
This occurs both at home (with my Linksys wireless router) and at work (with a DrayTek router).
At home, this problem occurs with both my PB12 and my wife's iBook12, after the 10.4.6 update was applied.
At work, all Windows laptops can connect to the internet using manual TCP/IP settings, but not my PB12.
Example of my settings:
- IP: 192.168.1.99
- Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Router: 192.168.0.1
- DNS: <empty>
- Domains: <empty>
Already tried, without success:
- verified disk -> no errors found on disk!
- repaired permissions, using Disk Utility, rebooted and tested -> no connection!
- tried with DNS=192.168.0.1 -> no connection!!
- tried with DNS=[my ISP primary dns] -> still nothing!!!
- even tried reapplying the combo update 10.4.5 -> of course, it didn't let me, as I'm now in 10.4.6!
Any thoughts or ideas to fix it and make it work in 10.4.6?
... other than archive&install, in order to downgrade!
PB12'' @ 1,33 GHz w/ 768MB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, buy I also state in my original post that I:
- tried with DNS=[my ISP primary dns] -> still nothing!!!
but yes, I probably should have titled it "No network access using..." (posting as 4:30 AM was probably not the best idea :D)
I understand I might have been a bit clumpsy posting my problem and appreciate everyone's corrections to what I wrote, but trust me that I have done a lot of tests and spent many hours on this... Bear in mind that I am using a network Location with manual definitions that was working before the update!
Anyway, as it happens, the likely culprit now seems to be more of a 3rd party software's inability to deal with 10.4.6 rather than the 10.4.6 itself!
I've disabled/unistalled/turnned off/deleted (depending on the app) anything NOT Apple that had anything to do with networking, be it for monitoring, controlling or managing (just to name a few: Little Snitch, Menu Meters, BrickHouse, etc, etc, etc...).
The Location with the manual settings is now working fine (at least at the office).
Over the next week or so I'll incrementaly re-install those 3rd party tools (which were most likely not up-to-date anyway) and see if something breaks at some point... but won't put much effort into it -- just happy to see it working again!
I'm closing this for now, as I don't have any more time for it (work is pilling up!)... If I manage to find out which version/app combination was causing the problem I'll post it back here!

Control Internet access using machines names

Hello to all, I have some machines (> 100) that are DHCP client and are on different subnets. I need that users that work on these machines don't access Internet. Is a there a way on TMG 2010 to create any
kind of control to accomplish this need?
Regards, EEOC.

Hi,
You can only control the traffic with IP addresses not computer names. A other way to limit internet access is to use users and groups in TMG firewall policy rules. The clients must be Webproxy or TMG clients

TS1398 my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access. When in the settings wifi settings you can see the wheel or timer spinning but never a check mark like my other iPad.

my wifi is showing connected but i am not getting internet access.

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

WRT54G configuration for internet access using Lacie Network Space Max

Please HELP!!!!
I have tried for the past 2 weeks trying to configure my router WRT54G so it allows me to access the Lacie over the internet without luck. I have followed every instructions from Lacie and every other FAQs and help on the internet, still no luck. I have spent numerous days with Lacie tech support and they could not figure it out - why my router would not allow me access over the internet. I am hoping that the big guns here can help me.
I have a number of laptops connected wirelessly to my local network and every laptop can access the Lacie NAS hardwired to one of the ports on my router. My entire system works wonderful locally.
The Lacie has been assigned a static IP of 192.168.1.199
My local network has a starting IP of 192.168.1.150 and ends at 192.168.1.199
My router's IP is 192.168.1.99
I have assigned port forwarding for my Lacie (192.168.1.199) for ports
20, 21, 25, 80, and 443.
I have tried other setups but no help. Please help!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Scrooge... thanks!
My NAS has ftp enabled. Access to the network is excellent throughout my local network. Every PC, wirelessly, can access everything on the NAS without any problem. Even when using the web browser using the IP or the dyndns.org assigned to the NAS. (I signed up for a free dynDNS)
The NAS can be accessed throughout the local network using explorer (under the network directory) and also by mapping the drive. The NAS can also be access using the web browser by either through its assigned IP (192.168.1.199) or by using the NAS's dyndns.org web address (web access requires login since it accesses the Network Space Max web page) - both by http and/or by ftp
My problem is accessing it through the internet outside my local network, i.e. from my work place or any other place away from home. The ability to access my data away from home is what I really wanted to be able to do.
"Open the setup page of the router and go to Status tab. Note down the Internet IP address.
Open the Internet browser and in the address bar type http://Internet_IP_address:21 or ftp://Internet_IP_address .
See if that works for ftp server."
Using the router's IP address for both format, http and ftp - I am not getting connected, even in my local network. Using NAS's static IP 192.168.1.199, I am able to access only using the ftp format. http://192.168.1.199:21 does not take me anywhere, but without the :21 takes me to the login page.
Again, thanks for all your help.... I am lost and I need your HELP!

"No Internet access" yellow icon on ThinkPad X230 after updating Intel PROSet wireless drivers

I have a ThinkPad X230 that began to display the yellow exclamation point icon for "No internet access" after I did a batch of updates. It has an Intel Advanced-N 6205 wireless card and is updated to the newest BIOS. I tried everything I could find on Google to try and fix the issue, and found no issues in these forums to users having an issue. So after fighting with it for a day, I decided to wipe the system and reinstall Windows.
I loaded Windows 7 Enterprise X64 with SP1 and did not domain join the laptop, so it is totally untouched Windows. and then installed the Intel wired networking drivers version 11.15.16.0, which were downloaded from Lenovo. I then installed the Intel wireless network drivers version 15.03.1000.1637 which were also downloaded from Lenovo. Everything is working fine at this point. I then loaded TVSU 5.02.0011 to get all the other Lenovo software. One of the updates offered was Intel wireless 15.6.1, so being careful, I selected only that update and installed it. After a restart, the yellow icon is there, even though I haven't yet connected to any wireless network - it is in place for the wired connection too. Uninstalling the 15.6.1 drivers would not make it go away. Installing 15.03.1000.1637 again also doesn't make it go away.
A System Restore to revert to before the installation occurs does make the icon go away.
I did some more searching on Google and the Intel Community forums have a report of this same issue from a user on a Dell machine: http://communities.intel.com/thread/38498. There is no solution posted as of yet. I have posted my problem there now too.
Has anyone experienced this issue and is there any fix besides System Restore or a reformat if the new drivers get installed? I expect the drivers made available via TVSU to be rock solid, this is why I follow what TVSU even if there are newer drivers from the manufacturer sometimes.
Myself I use a T420s with an Ultimate-N 6300 wirelss card, and the newest Intel drivers installed onto my machine without issue. I also have a couple other X230 computers that I am pretty sure have the drivers as well already without problems. So I am wondering if there is some sort of firmware issue with the particular wireless card, or something is causing the drivers to not install in the correct way. Just my thoughts.
Current: ThinkPad Tablet 2 | 64GB // ThinkPad T440s | i7-4600U | 12GB | 512GB SSD | FHD MT
Previous: ThinkPad T420s // ThinkPad T410s

I deploy a lot of X230 laptops and have been dealing with this issue. Since I cannot find any information about the cause and how to fix it I started looking more into it. The "No internet access" yellow icon starts appearing after installing items from System Update. So, with a new X230 I applied all Windows Update (which installed without issues) before going into System Update. After doing the Critical and most of the Rcommended (don't care for Access Connections) I proceeded to the Optional updates which I installed one at a time. When I installed the WiFi Driver for Intel cards 7(64), Version 15.6.1 and rebooted the system the yellow icon appeared with the "No internet connection" status. Everything still works though, I can still connect to the internet. Doing a driver rollback does not fix the problem. I did a system restore from a restore point prior the last System Update and the yellow icon went away. finished the rest of the Optional updates except the WiFi driver and all is well. This is what I did and went through, not sure if it will be the same for everybody. But Lenovo needs to look into that driver version.

Restricting Internet access using ARD

I am trying to restrict students for accessing the internet using ARD. Students accounts are set using Workgroup Manager. Under preferences, I did not allow Dock.app or Safari in the list of aproved applications. I also only selected applications I allow them to use to be in the dock and did not allow them to merge their dock.
One group still has Safari listed in the dock.
The others can still get to the internet using dashboard and going to weather settings.
How can I eliminate this access.

One option is to send the unix command:
ipfw add 2005 deny tcp from any to any 80 out xmit en0
This will block the standard internet port. If the computers are restarted then it will go back to normal. To get rid of the rule without actually restarting use this command.
ipfw delete 2005
Note: They have to be done with the root (or admin) user.

Internet access using the 3G net in Sweden

Hi! Swedish users hopefully understands what I meen if my English is poor. Thinking about buying a iTouch, my question is if it is possible to get online using a 3G modem? My provider in Sweden is Telenor and I have one of theirs modem.
Thanks!
/u

frittfall,
The iPod Touch uses WiFi only.
The iPhone will use EDGE networks where available. In the U.S. most GSM locations that have 3G also have EDGE, including all of AT&T's 3G areas. EDGE, sometimes called 2.5 or 2.75G, was skipped over in some countries, and so you will only have GPRS (2G) in 3G areas.
Hope this helps,

Using Airport Express to share a hotel in-room Internet access

Hello,
I am new to these discussions, and I would like to know how to share hotel in-room cable Internet accesses using my Airport Express as efficiently as possible.
For the moment, I connect the in-room cable Internet to the AE with the "+Internet Connection Sharing+" setting set to "+Off, Bridge Mode+", which allows my wife, kids and myself to connect simultaneously, but we need to each use a separate hotel-provided password.
Is there any way to change the settings so that I need only a single password for the AE, to be then shared by all the computers simultaneously?

Not too likely. Each computer will require a unique ip address so the network will see each computer as individual computers and require a password for each one.

I want to disable Internet access to user using GPO

I am using Win Server 2008 R2, I want to disable the users from accessing Internet which are in that OU. Can anyone tell me how is it possible ?

Hi,
Disabling Internet access using software on the client is inherently difficult. The client isn't aware of what is an internal resource (like an Intranet page for example) as opposed to an Internet resource. You can use GPOs to disable specific programs
(like browsers) or to change how traffic is routed by the client but in order to effectively control who can and can't access the Internet, your best bet is a perimeter device like a proxy or firewall that sits between your clients and the Internet and is
integrated with AD so it can manage access to the Internet based on users, groups, IP addresses, etc.
The closest you can come without a proxy is to configure a proxy server address for those users using the Internet Explorer Maintenance component (found under User Configuration\Windows Settings). This proxy can either be a non existent address or
if you want more control over the error messages users get, it can be an internal web server with a page that provide a custom message. The same configuration will allow you to list specific URLs that are exempt in case you have specific web sites, internal
or external that must be available.
Note that this option will apply to all browsing, internal and Internet based, but will only impact IE. Internet access using other browsers or other software will not be impacted unless that software leverages the IE proxy configuration (which many
applications do).
Hope this helps,
Guy

Motorola V525 UK Vodafone Internet Access Point

Hi guys
I have a Midlet that makes an HttpConnection to a servlet to get some String data. It works perfectly well through the emulators, but not on my phone. Having read the forums I can see that this is probably because I have a WAP access point for my GPRS connection on the mobile. I rang Vodafone to ask them about how to set up an Internet access point via TCP/IP, but they were next to useless. So anyone know how to set up an Internet APN for Vodafone on a Motorola V525 ?!?
Thanks
K
ps. If you know another way to get data from a server that doesn't involve an HttpConnection, that would be great also.

Hi Killuminati.
The settings you need are for the Vodafone Internet APN, as below:
Access Point (APN) address : internet
Username : web
Password: web
(note that these are all case sensitive)
You may also need to explicitly set the DNS server (I can't remember if you actually need to do this or not):
DNS Server: 212.183.137.012
Ok, now that may be enough for it to work. If you are still having problems however, then you need to phone Vodafone, as we've found that some people need to get access to the Internet access point explictly turned on for their account.
This can be tricky, and has taken us from between 5 mins, and 2 days to get sorted out, depending on whether the person on the end of the phone knows what they're talking about or not!
Explain to them (slowly!) that you need to have access to the Internet GPRS Access point turned on for your phone (explain if necessary that you already have access to the WAP Access point but that is different.
Once you find someone that actually understands what you're talking about, it should then be a 5 minute job for them to activate it for your account. You then turn your phone off & back on, and you should then be up & running (after ensuring your phone is set up to use the Internet Access Point instead of the WAP one of course).
Hope that's of help.
Cheers,
Neal.

Why no internet access after Safari reinstallation (router does)?

Since yesterday I have a massive problem I hope someone can help me out.
To start with I couldn´t email attachments since a few months. Yesterday I thought a re-installation of Safari (browser recommended by the provider) might cure that as I thought recent upgrades (recommended by apple to install) caused that problem which was not there last year.
So I downloaded Safari from apple.com. From that on I can´t get any internet access anymore (only a few minutes after the first start, then never again), even after spending 40 minutes on my providers extremely expensive hotline no solution (other than that the friendly lady told me to contact this forum). My router has internet access, and the cable between router and my Mac is definetely fine, but when I open the internet-access window, the connection immiadetely crashes always.
I checked network utilities and found no failure, I tried different ways of access via the network settings, nothing works. I assume it has something to do with the re-installation of Safari, but why on earth should the standard Safari 1.2-version from Apples own website create such a mess?
Shall I install firefox? Shall I dump the Safari-version installed yesterday and install a copy of the updated version from my office computer instead? What else could cause the problem? Are my network settings wrong? Should I log in via "manual" or DHCP (the provoders hotline told me I should re-type PPP settings. Though that is clearly to see a no-option with Ethernet she kept telling me so. Isn´t PPP only for modem-connection?), or via PPoE? Or shall I re-install the router?
I would be more than glad if someone could help me.

We can keep it in English as its an english speaking forum and therefore non-germans who might have the same problem could participate. If for you German is better I´m fine with it. Most settings on my Mac are in German so if it becomes too specific, german is anyway necessary.

E6 - Internet Access point issue

OK... Here's my first portential bug identification from Nokia E6.
I use mFE for my office email. I have Home WLAN as Priority 1 and EGPRS as Priority 2 as Internet Access pointsand have the Connectivity settings option Switch to WLAN set for "Known WLANs only".
Now often I see the EGPRS is active despite I have strong WLAN signal at my home.
Grrr... my data charges will go high because of this....
Does any other Nokia E6 user face similar issue?

@ Since_6110,
If so, the network packet data connection is being used by another application
So under Connectivity > Settings > Destinations you have a destination called "Internet" (the default name for the first destination), and it has your home WLAN as Priority: 1 and your network provider's packet data at Priority: 2 ? YES
And in MfE under Advance Settings, the Access point specified is "Internet" (or the same Destination mentioned above)? YES
==========
Being a technical person myself closely associated with Mobiles, I have checked everything before making this post here.

Kernel panic / Internet access with a bad AirPort card

My iBook G4 started suffering kernel panics just over a week ago. They have rapidly increased in frequency to the extent that it can take several attempts to boot up because they have started occurring during the boot up process (originally they occurred after the iBook had been on for a while).
I've looked through the forum and have seen that there seem to be some common causes -RAM, AirPort card, or something to do with the HD. I ran disk utility on the HD and it didn't find any problems and I also successfully ran the 'repair disk permissions'. I have tried taking out the RAM -that didn't do anything. The kernel panic does frequently occur when I am either using Mail or Safari, but as I've said, it also occurs when I'm booting up -does the fact that it happens when I boot up mean that it cannot be the AirPort card (which incidentally is not under the keyboard -so it must be inside)?
Earlier today I switched off AirPort and was able to work on the computer for almost three hours without any kernel panic (but also without internet access). Less than a minute after switching it back on, it froze again.
If this does mean that the problem is with the AirPort card, I have a question about internet access. I use the iBook on a wireless network that stems from a modem with a Mac downstairs and I do not have any internet cables, or a phone line, in the room where the iBook is used. Is it possible to use something like AirPort Express even with a bad AirPort card? And does AirPort Express connect to the iBook, or to the main modem downstairs?
Apologies for so many questions and many thanks for any help you are able to give -this has been driving me around the bend for the past week?

Update:
An acquaintance who works for Apple suggested that before assuming that the problem was the AirPort card / buying further equipment, I should boot up with the original installation disk in and use the disk utility function to 'repair disk'. I did that and got a 'Volume Header needs minor repair' message. It repaired that & I restarted the iBook. I was able to do an update back-up to my external hard drive & all was fine until I switched AirPort back on -there was an instant kernel panic.
I figured that it couldn't hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test -did that and restarted again. Was able to open Mail (AirPort was on) but then the AirPort connection disappeared and the pointer froze, but there was no kernel panic screen. I had to force quit -restarted again. This time I was able to use Mail, downloaded a song on iTunes, and was on the internet for about 45mins before the connection disappeared and the pointer froze again. I could force quit the app but with a frozen pointer I ended up having to force quit again.
I waited a while and then booted up again (without problem) but this time I was told that there was no Airport card present! Shut down and reran the Hardware Test (which said that AirPort 'Passed'). When I restarted AirPort was briefly there but disappeared when I opened AirPort Utility and at this point the pointer also froze. I did force quit to get out of the app and then there was a kernel panic. Is this now pretty conclusive that the AirPort card is the problem?
I would appreciate any feedback -I've had a very frustrating week with this.
Thanks.
