"No longer connected to the Internet" until router restarted

I've been running a G4 Quicksilver with OSX Tiger on a BT Internet Home Hub router for some time now, years in fact, with no trouble. I also run a Windows PC from the same router using Ethernet connection for both.
Yesterday I disconnected the ethernet cable from the Mac to update a child's laptop and when I plugged it back in again I got the message "your computer is no longer connected to the Internet". I ran network diagnostics to find the router was apparently not working, but built-in ethernet was, and restarted the router as requested. The connection ran perfectly all evening but this morning on restart - same message. The PC is running perfectly, hence this message can be posted.
I reloaded the BT software from the installation disc and got a good connection, but the first time the Mac went to sleep, I had lost it again. The connection seems to be lost everytime the Mac is restarted or goes to sleep, but if I manually reset the router I get a "connection successful" message. Last time I got the message I ran Network Diagnostics and was given a choice of locations: automatic or BTHomeHub. On BT all indicators were red; on automatic it is green as far as network settings and ISP, but red for Internet or Server. My net connection is broadband, 512k max and the PC connects and runs perfectly. I don't understand why the Mac has suddenly changed and why it won't connect.
I've just changed the location to BTHomeHub and got green lights on all but Internet - even the server light is green, but it says internet (failed).
I'm lost, can anyone help???

Thanks Henry, just tried that.
When I try to access the Internet I get the page header, but the page itself no longer loads - eventually I'll get the "not connected " message.
If I run Network from system preferences it tells me I am connected and gives my IP address.
If I move to the "ethernet" column on Network Diagnostics the network status lights are green for built-in ethernet, network settings and ISP - but red for Internet and server. The message now states "your internet connection appears to be working perfectly"
It can't be the internet as here I am posting on my PC, so it must be the Mac, but I don't understand how I can be connected to my ISP, but not the Internet....

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet." This happens while I am connected to the internet. What should I do?

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi. What should I do?

Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
Try updating using iTunes on your computer.

My Mac Book Pro suddenly will no longer connect to the Internet at my house. Help?

My Mac Book Pro suddenly will no longer connect to the Internet at my house. My son's MacBook connects just fine. My MacPro connects at work, at Starbucks, etc. just fine, but not at my house. My son's however has no problem whatsoever. I assume that since his computer connects that the router and modem is not the problem. And since my computer connects everywhere but here . . . . it is not a hardware issue. When directly connecting my MacBook Pro to the modem or router the problem was the same. . . no connection. Help?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

My ipad will no longer connect to the internet. Everything else does.

My ipad 1 will no longer connect to the internet. Everything else does. and nothing new was done to the ipad. It's running ios 4 and was fine since the day it came out.

Emma-
In Safari, press on the Bookmarks icon and select History. Then press on Clear History at the top of that menu, and see it there is any improvement.
If not, try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect the iPad to WiFi.

Since updating my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet

since i've updated my software on my ipad it will no longer connect to the internet. my husbands iphone will not connect either. my laptop connects immediately and my internet signal is full strength. is there something we are missing?

Hello dchoffa,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would start with this troubleshooting from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the above troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, I would next try the troubleshooting in one of the other sections down toward the bottom that fits your scenario.

Safari no longer connects to the internet

I upgraded to OS Yosemite in my iMac (must be approaching 4 years old) and everything has been working fine. Had a couple of applications where they closed unexpectedly, but nothing major and things have continued as they always have. Apps have also automatically updated. As of today, Safari will no longer connect to the internet and I keep getting the classic "the server unexpectedly dropped the connection" blurb and I kept being told that a disk that I hadn't put in the machine is not being recognized.
I'm typing this on my MacBook Air so I know that Safari can work fine (also having no problem with my iPad or iPhone) and there is no issue with my ISP' modem (I'm with Virgin Media), connector or Netgear wireless router. Tonight I have performed a recovery install and now I have this annoying message saying how I need a particular Java plugin, which I can't sort out because Safari can't connect to the internet. I have also performed a router reset, without remedy.
Logically, as I see it, the issue lies with Safari, and due to it being the only internet access on my iMac, I can't even download Firefox or access the App Store so looks like I can't update. A friend is also having the same issues with his iPad, so I know this isn't just my iMac
Looking for some answers here? Anyone?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Who can shed some light on my ongoing connection problem.
After upgrading my iPad Air with IOS 7.06, I could no longer connect to the internet.
I have 2 MacBooks Air, 1 ipad mini and one iPhone 4S running on the same network, and they are all connected to the net and function well.
So I cleaned up the ipad completely, installed the latest firmware and reinstalled my apps : no connection.
I tried all things of resets and forgets. No result.
I have been fondling with my Airport Extreme 5 , but that did not help much.
This morning I went to a neighbor , hooked my ipad air on his network, typed the password and the thing all worked fine.
I have tried to connect the ipad air as an ethernet client, but that did not work. „Not enough power“ was the statement
Ideas anyone ?

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed

IMac Can No Longer Connect to the Internet

My parents use a 2006 Intel Core Duo iMac (the 17", 1.83GHz model) running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). They typically connect to the internet using a wireless network set up using an Airport Extreme with RCN as their ISP.
As of yesterday, the computer can no longer connect to the internet, while all other computers in the house, both Mac and PC, still can. I've tried power cycling the modem and the router, connecting using ethernet, and connecting the computer directly into the modem. Thus far, none of these attempts have succeeded. I've taken a look at the network settings for the computer and while networking is most certainly my thing I wasn't able to detect a change. As a last ditch attempt I tried using Google's public DNS service, rather than RCN's default, but that made no difference, so I've reverted it.
I realize that the information available in this thread is almost certainly too little to guess at what the problem might be, but I'm more than happy to fetch information that might be helpful in finding a solution.
Thanks for taking the time to read the problem; hopefully there's an obvious solution.

"Drive is dead????" what in this thread gives you that idea? What card might be failing?
Agent: do you have any Input Managers (might be called Input Methods) either in the Home Folder/Library or in the HD/Library (not /System/Library.)
Yes, do try another Account and test for this there.
I know you've already tried Google DNS, but try OpenDNS
You don't need to go to the OpenDNS site to use OpenDNS. Simply open Network>Advanced>DNS in Sys Prefs and enter the following numbers for the interface you use, e.g. Airport or Ethernet,
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Hit OK and then Apply. Make sure those numbers are entered above any others you may have there.

Try this and see if it resolves the issue.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Then try again.

Why can't I no longer connect to the Internet via my AirPort Extreme Base?

I suddenly can no longer connect to the Internet through my AirPort Extreme. Everything was fine until this morning. My Base Station is connected to a DSL modem and then my computer connects to the Internet wirelessly through the Base Station. The center light is on in the Base Station. The left light flickers telling me there is wireless activity. I can still access my printer through the Base Station. But the right light is no longer flickering. I have rebooted everything several times. Does anyone have insight into this problem. This is the second time this has happened. For over a month I could not access the Internet through the Base Station, and then suddenly and arbitrarily it started working again. This morning it just stopped again.

I've had the same problem - mine started after I upgraded to 10.4.8 on my MacBook a week or so ago.
I can see other networks around my home and when I travel, but can only connect via ethernet cable (and my ISP is comcast - I thought the upgrade was supposed to help make connecting with comcast better).
My G3 has no problem connecting, so I don't think it's exactly a problem with my modem, or base station, or even comcast. I think it has something to do with my base station and upgrading to 10.4.8. Btw, dropping back to 10.4.6 hasn't helped.

Hi Blueandpink,
If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
Hope this helps!

Hey NinaChall,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues updating to iOS 7. It may be best to complete the update utilizing iTunes:
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
Update your device using iTunes
1. Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
2. Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
3. After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.
5. If an update is available, iTunes prompts you to download and install the update. Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.
Thanks,

Will no longer connect to the internet

All of a sudden Adobe Digital editions will no longer connect to the internet. It was fine before last Tuesday. Check internet settings and firewall and nothing helps. Why is it doing this and how can we fix it. Windows 7 - 64 bit

Did this [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox|start after upgrading firefox?]]
Generally if Firefox can't connect, but other applications can, it's a configuration problem with a [[Firewalls|software firewall]], either one you installed yourself, one that was included with other security software, or the built-in Windows Firewall.

Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable. Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable.
I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that. Strangely, it works.
My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
Sorry, if my sentences are confusing. I have a terrible headache at the moment. While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health.
BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment. I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either. What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone? Thanks in advance.
Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".
Solved!
