No matter what, ATV2 won't connect to Internet through TC

I'm about to pull my hair out. My iMac and Blackbook connect to my wireless network through TC no problem, regardless of what I change in TC's setup (meaning changing the name of my network, channel, password, etc.). My new ATV2, however, connects apparently but cannot access the internet. I thought it may have something to do the ATV2 itself (faulty unit), but the same thing happens when I try to connect my HTC Evo to the network.
So I tried using a wired connection between the ATV2 and the TC. Same thing. Bad IP addresses, null values for router and domain, the works. Maybe use a crossover ethernet cable, as I understand ATV2 requires one...just didn't have one handy at the house.
Any ideas? I've read through numerous threads on this board, and I see where the "solution" is to reset the TC to factory settings, wait, then try again; other variations say to rename the network (done that).

You say a crossover cable is not required, but I thought it was. See this link... >http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2274?viewlocale=en_US
Hmm, the link can be a bit misleading. You are attempting to connect your aTV2 to a TC. Notice that this would only require a crossover cable if you were trying to connect an older Mac product directly to either model of the aTV.
I currently have both versions of the aTV; one connected to a Cisco Ethernet switch directly back to a Cisco router, and the other connected to one of the LAN ports on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn). In turn the AEBSn is configured as a bridge and connects back to the same Cisco router. In both cases, neither of my aTVs is having any issues getting an IP address over an Ethernet connection.
I have also verified that both can get an IP address via wireless to the AEBSn as well.
Yes, the TC is my only router, and it's in bridge mode on channel 11, using WPK Personal security.
If the TC is in bridge mode, both its NAT & DHCP services are disabled. That would mean another device (router or server) is providing these services for Internet access. What is the make & model of your Internet modem?

  • E1000 won't connect to internet through cable modem

    I just switched internet providers and now have a cable modem. The internet works when I have it plugged directly into my computer. My wireless card recognizes and connects to my E1000, but the E1000 won't connect to the internet even though the ethernet cable is plugged into the correct ports. The cable provider left because it's obviously a problem with the router itself.
    I've tried all the usual tricks--resetting the modem, resetting the router, resetting the computer, etc. Unfortunately, another problem I discovered in the midst of all this is that I no longer have Cisco Connect installed on my computer, and I have somehow managed to lose the CD for it.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Suggestion:
    1. Download the Cisco Connect software from the Cisco website (click HERE)
    2. Connect the router, modem and hardwired the laptop to the router as well
    3. Reset the router
    4. Run the Cisco Connect software

  • I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

    I'm using the sync option for when I'm not near my desktop and no matter what it won't work its telling me my account name or password is not correct and it is!

    This is from my personal experience:
    It almost happens every time I tried to connect with Sync from my Android phone, the window asking me to enter my account name and password always shows up. And if I enter the information, it'll say I have the wrong password, etc. My workaround is to click the "cancel" button. But it does not cancel immediately. The window will stay on for a while (usually a few minutes), then it'll disappear and start connecting to Sync. And it'll connect and sync successfully.
    You can try this workaround but you have to be patient to wait for the window to disappear.
    I don't know what is the cause of this, but it has happened ever since FF4 for Mobile came out. I have searched around and couldn't find any solutions.

  • I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • ATV2 won't connect to my wireless network.

    My ATV2 won't connect to my wireless network, although the network shows up in the list of networks and I'm using the correct password.  A laptop approximately 1 foot away connects wirelessly to the network.  ATV has worked in the past - haven't tried it recently.  Tried reset - didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    If your wireless router is setup to use WPA or WPA2 security then you need to make sure you match this within your Apple TV device.
    You probably already know to match case sensitivity in your password.

  • Mac Mini won't connect to internet using Apple products (Safari, iTunes, AppStore). Date and time are frozen to the moment CPU is booted up. Firefox works. Cannot update.

    For the past few days my Mac Mini has been having issues.
    Safari won't connect to internet, but Firefox does.
    Time and date are frozen. Only resets when copmuter is re-booted.
    Unable to update via App Store and iTunes won't connect either.
    Please advise.

    Hi again,
    Let me ask for some better help for you that is familiar with this problem (if in fact it is a similar problem with the IP address and your ISP.
    The other topic concerning this can be found at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2725608
    It is a somewhat lengthy thread but may just apply to your situation.
    Anyways I will see if I can call on some better help for you. Hang in there. Best to arm yourself with enough info before contacting Comcast so they might know what you are dealing with fully.
    littleshouders
    edit: I have posted for some extra help for you that may have a better idea of what's going on if it is your ISP and their modem and how it handles the IP address causing Safari and iTunes not to connect. Hang in there it may take awhile but I'm sure someone will pop in to help.

  • How to enable a disabled iPod that won't connect to internet

    trying to enable my disabled 5th generation iPod touch. I have tried connecting to iTunes on the computer, which I couldn't get it to do anything. I then tried using the "Find my iPhone" website and erased the iPod. However, I got a message that says "This iPod will be erased when it connects to the internet". How do I connect a disabled/locked iPod to the internet/wifi while it is waiting to be erased because it won't connect to internet/wifi?

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Brand new Apple TV won´t connect to Internet

    I just bought an Apple TV 3rd generation today. Unfortunately I´m having some issues installing it.
    The Apple TV does connect to my wifi network but won´t connect to Internet. I´m currently using Time Capsule as router and thought that all Apple gadgets would have no problems connecting to each other. Both my Macbook Air and iPhone can connect to Internet when using the same wifi. I´ve tried to restart and restore Apple TV a few times and have also restarted my router. Apple suggested that when troubleshooting, but it did not work. Anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

    I´m not sure what just happened, but when I woke up this morning and started Apple TV it worked. Haven´t done any changes in settings...
    Out of curiosity, if the same problem occurs again how would I solve the internet connection problem. Yesterday I just saw computers/settings on the main screen.

  • Won't connect to Internet explorer....just got this computer a week ago brand new

    I just got this computer brand new a week ago. It started trying to watch vid on the net and it workstation show the picture. Then 2 days later it won't connect to Internet explorer at all. I'm so frustrated I mean how is this possible to have problems already. If I can't fix this tomorrow I'm taking it back. Please help thank you

    Before you go there call your provider first and have them check the provisioning on the phone. They will ask if you did this when you go to the Genius Bar.

  • New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet

    New iPhone 4s won't connect to internet beyond my home wi fi. How can I correct this? I need internet where I go.

    I've got exactly the same problem.
    Upgraded to iOS7 all was fine. 
    It then prompted me to upgrade to 7.0.2 and now my iPhone 4s won't connect to Internet anymore.
    There was also a carrier settings update that I accepted which could have broken things.
    I've tried different APN settings but it still won't connect for me :-(
    Tried a Reset Network Setting, and the problem is the same.

  • Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will ???

    Safari won't connect to internet; Firefox will???
    Wierdest thing. For some reason Safari won't browse or connect to the internet anymore. When I open Safari the default address is in URL bar, but with highlighted (words only) in blue and it just sits there all day. I can't connect to any web site on the net.
    However, if I open Firefox all is fine and my Mail is all fine also.
    I've repaired permissions a few times and even trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer etc, but it still refuses to actually display anything. I get a blank white page, then after about 2 minutes it simply says "Safari can't open the page. Because the server stopped responding".
    As I said, no problem with Firefox.
    Any ideas.

    I thank you for getting me into the right ball-park otherwise I would not have spotted it.
    You're welcome. Glad I could help.

    Thanks alot !!!

    Just how is the one computer connecting to the internet? What type of connection does the office have, DSL, Cable or is it a Data connection through a Cell phone provider.
    I doubt all other computer are doing Ad-Hoc but are probably Sharing the Internet connection with Internet Connection Sharing from that one Windows base PC.
    All you khave to do is Connect to that same WiFi SSID name and have the correct password for it.

  • I'm not able to connect to internet through my wifi router, which is Sitecom 150N working fine with pc

    I'm not able with ipod touch to connect to internet through my wifi router, which is Sitecom 150N working fine with pc

    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address when the iPod requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router model and version (the 150n designation is not a unique model), the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), is MAC address filtering being used, etc.
