Not valid IP Adress but with Internet access

Hello.
I have setup my airport extreme but the amber light is flashing and the problem seems to be that "...the device does not have a valid IP adress". The funny thing (and very good thing I believe) is that I do have wireless internet access provided by my airport extreme.
The only reason for trying to solve this (until now) is that the amber flashing light is starting to annoy me.
I've tried powering off and on the modem and the AEBS as well, but nothing seems to give a valid IP address.
Any suggestions?

Hello.
By the way... I have setup my airport extreme to create a wireless network. I connected it to my modem via ethernet.

Hi,
What is your machine and its Operating system ? Do you have wireless network at home ? If yes, have you setup the connection between your laptop and the router yet ?

Compact RIO Standalone RT Application with Internet access

Hi,
I am currently working on a Compact RIO and would like to deploy the VI as a standalone application to run independantly on the Compact RIO without the need for a host computer. Apart from that, the Compact RIO also has to have internet access. I have a CRIO 9022 and am unsure how to set up internet access for it as well. Should the Ethernet cable be plugged into Socket 1 or Socket 2? The other end of the ethernet cable is connected to a switch with internet access enabled.
Please Help
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your reply. After we set up the Compact RIO to run st startup with a real time application, what other settings do we have to configure to allow it to have internet access? The IP address is static. Also, we would like to have a remote front panel service running in order to view the front panel from a remote browser to monitor our system. Would it be possible to provide me with some step by step instructions of setting this up? I tried the steps from the guides at National Instruments website but all of them require the presence of a host computer, whereas we are building a real time application.
Thanks

-My wifi connection is running strong
-All the devices run the same version of iOS

Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Can a Time capsule be used to provide internet on a guest network but with no access to my files ?

I was recently given a brand new 3TB time capsule.
I would firstly like to partition the drive if possible ? to store films and some old photos etc
I would then like to create a private network for myself with access to the time machine back ups and the partition with my films and photos in
I Would then need to create a guest network for my house mates to use with access solely to the internet and none of my files. is this possible ?
Also, if this is not possible,would it then be possible to plug in an external hard drive to the time capsule (containing my films and old photos etc) and access these files wirelessly on my network ? but also stop my guests from accessing these files over their network ?

I would firstly like to partition the drive if possible ?
It is possible in theory, but not easy in practice, and it will void the warranty on the Time Capsule if you attempt to do this. In general, you would need to open up the Time Capsule, remove the hard drive, place the hard drive in a separate enclosure or caddy, connect it directly to your Mac, and use Disk Utility to format the drive. Then, you would need to reinstall the drive back in the Time Capsule and hope that everything works.
Instead of partitioning, you might want to take a look at setting up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule using Disk Utility. This would allow you to reserve a certain amount of space for data and set up a password that users would need to type in before they could access the data inside the disk image.
I would then like to create a private network for myself with access to the time machine back ups and the partition with my films and photos in
The default setup of the Time Capsule will allow you to create a wireless network using a name and password that you want to use.
I Would then need to create a guest network for my house mates to use with access solely to the internet and none of my files. is this possible ?
Whether or not this is possible will depend on the type of modem that you will be using with the Time Capsule. The Guest Network feature can be enabled if you will be using a simple modem with the Time Capsule. Something like this, for example:
However, the Guest Network feature was not designed to work correctly with a modem/router or gateway. Something like this, which is often furnished by Internet Service Providers to their customers:
See the difference? One is a simple modem that only provides an Internet connection to an outboard router, like the Time Capsule. The other device is a modem/router or gateway, which is really two products.....a modem and a router.....in one package. The Guest Network feature was not really designed to work with this type of product, so it may or may not work if you try to use it with this type of device. Getting to work will involve trying to bend the rules.
Also, if this is not possible,would it then be possible to plug in an external hard drive to the time capsule (containing my films and old photos etc) and access these files wirelessly on my network ? but also stop my guests from accessing these files over their network
Yes, this actually might the simplest way to accomplish what you want to do. Make sure that the drive is formatted correctly for Mac in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using Disk Utility and then use AirPort Utility to set up a password to access the drive. Only give the password to those who you want to have access to the drive.

DSL intermittently stop working for a day (DSL light on, but no Internet access)

Hi,
We have a frustrating problem with our Verizon Business DSL.
Three times in the past 2 months it has gone down between 12AM and 6AM in the morning.
Each time this happens, the DSL light will stay solid on the modem and it will obtain a valid WAN IP address, but there will be absolutely no Internet access.
This occurs with or without the Trendnet router we normally have installed.
To get it working again we have to call Verizon tech support.
Usually that involves hour(s) of talking with a support person, during which time they will reset things on their end, and they will have us reset our Westell 6100 modem, and do many other things like restart the PC, check settings, etc, etc...
-The first time, after trying all the usual stuff, they had to escalate the issue to another department, which took 24hrs, and then they got it working... or it started working on it's own?
-The second time it started working while I was talking to the first support person.
I had reset the modem and she had also reset things on her end.
-Today it quit again.
The first support person referred the problem to the maintenance office, after having me do all the usual stuff.
Eventually I got a call from a Verizon maintenance (?) guy, he said he thinks it might be our modem, so he is going to have a replacement modem sent to us.
But then the Internet started working on it's own about 5PM...
Once we receive the modem, I suppose I will replace that, but I'm not real confident it will fix the problem?
Another thing I noticed today, not sure if it related to the first problem...
Normally the modem will show 2800k/700k speeds, today it is showing 1700k/400k.
Thanks for any help/ideas,
{edited for privacy}

Thanks for your help, Smith6612!
I have contacted Verizon about the slow speed, so we will see what happens with that.
I'll post an update when I hear back from them.
Thank you very much for your offer to help with the other issue, I will keep that in mind if the problem recurrs.

BTHH5 connected, but no internet access

Hi! I've got BT Infinity on my HomeHub 5A. Here is the problem. When I connect to my wifi everything is good, but after a while I lose internet connection. I am still connected to my wifi, but the wifi sign shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and says I dont have internet access.
If I disconnect and then connect again everything goes back to normal and I can browse again. This is just a temporary fix because after some time I lose access again. This can happen after an hour or just after a minute of browsing, so it can be very frustrating if it happens often.
After reading some threads on the forum I tried assigning a static DNS adress, that didnt help. Then I tried switching of the 5GHz network, that didnt help either. I have downloaded inSSIDer and changed the chanell of my wifi to a less busy one, that didnt help as well.
This happens on both Windows 7 laptops, on the PS4 and an iPhone, so the problem is not in them. Also it happens when just one laptop is connected, so the number of connected devices is not a problem also.
I dont have any options to try now, so any suggestions will help.

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.

Can connect to wireless network but no internet access

I have a PC that runs on Windows Vista and a wireless network using Airport Extreme. My PC can connect to the wireless network but I cannot access the internet. Windows Network Diagnostics states that 'A problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection'. There should be no problem with my modem as I can access internet using my powerbook. When I run airport utility on my PC, there is an error message that states that 'An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again', 'error -6753'.

I am glad you brought this up. I am having the same difficulty. I run an iMac OS X 10.5.6 with an intel processor and a parallel system to get me on the Windows side. When I try to access the internet using my Airport extreme I cannot access any sites and the internet explorer page pops up with "The page cannot be displayed and sends me to try the diagnose connection problems on the toolbar method. However I can see my base station and all looks fine with the information there. I can also access the internet from my mac side of the computer. It would be nice to use the Windows side to gain access to the net because I have programs for the windows side that need updating. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

Help needed with internet access

I have just aquired a 5800 and I (think) I have turned of the 3G so it will only connect via my home WiFi unless it asks me. However, when I do connect I get a tiny little symbol which looks like 3.5g and the book says it is something to do with "HSDPA". It tells you that a line under it means "supported and active" and that a line through it means "a connection is on hold" but doesn't tell you what if there are no lines, just the symbol and what the flaming hell that means anyway.
My question is - when this is showing, am I doing something that I am being charged for ? On this phone I do not want to do anything chargeable without first being asked, so if anyone understands this minefield of information I would be eternally grateful for your assistance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't normally switch off internet access via the network through settings, usually you get the following network options:
GSM only (which could could connect to the internet via GPRS)
UMTS only (this is 3G)
Dual mode (which selects 3G if the service is available in the area, otherwise defaults to GSM)
Your phone will always show the GSM or 3G signals if it is in range of such services, this does not mean that you are conencted to the internet by them. If you are connected via WLAN, you will not be charged for internet access over the internet.
One thing to be careful of is that if you leave the range of your WLAN router, the phone can automatically go for the next access available point in the "Destinations" setting, which could be your network. As long as you are in range of the router and it is working fine, you should have no worries.

Windows 7: Connected to network but no internet access???

This is my first post and I have been dealing with quite an annoying problem. I used bootcamp to install windows 7 64bit on my laptop. From the beginning I could connect to my network (Wifi) but it said "no internet access." It was like this for a while until I powered on one day, fiddled with some settings (dont remember what I did) and all of a sudden the internet worked like a charm (my fiddling probably did not make it work). Sadly three days later the internet stopped working again and I did not touch any settings! I am still connected to the network. I updated to bootcamp 3.1 with no luck. I have no idea what is wrong especially since internet works perfectly on OSX. Any suggestions???

I'm sorry but I'm not posting to answer your problem but just to say that I have a very similar issue when connected to my home network through either wireless or ethernet- connection is erratic and pages hang despite showing an excellent signal strength. I have a divided drive and have windows installed on my Macbook. I have no problems on the windows side. My friends who have ipods and iphones have similar problems connecting to my home network. I have no problems connecting wirelessly to any other network that I've tried. This is a real shame as I want to use Mac software but end up in Windows all the time. Any light anyone can shed on this would be very welcome.

Wifi connection but 'No Internet Access'

We recently had BT fibre optic BB fitted and all seemed well on the day. However very quickly devices using the wifi started to have only intermittent ‘connection’. The devices show as having a good/strong signal, yet are often unable to access the internet, and in the case of our lap tops when we can not get online they say ‘Connected’ to the wifi but they also say ‘No Internet Access’. The iPad minis we have also show as connected, with good signal, but just will not access the internet.
The issue is intermittent and has no set pattern. At one point all devices are connected, sometimes one or two aren’t, sometimes none are. When they will not connect we have to move them into the room where the hub is and wait for them to reconnect. We are talking about 2 laptops, 2 iPad minis, 2 smart phones and 2 Xbox 360’s, as well as my PC (which is connected via ethernet cable). So I doubt I'm overworking the hub, especially as my old router worked (just) with this amount of devices and that was on a basic non fibre optic BB.
When the engineer connected us he set the internet up in the study, which is at one end of our house, as that is where the master phone point and my PC are. He connected the PC via Ethernet cable and I connected an iPad mini wirelessly (whilst sat next to the hub). He did not check anything else worked or check if we had coverage in the whole house. I do have a phone point in the hall, which is in the middle of the house, but he did not offer to connect to this point, or suggest that may offer better coverage in my house.
My frustration with this is compounded by the fact I had a basic Netgear wireless router running on a bog standard Virgin Media BB connection, never stronger than about 3 megs, that covered the whole house from exactly the same spot as the Homehub.
I have tried adding a plug in signal booster (as suggested on another thread), and that has helped with the overall strength of the signal in the rooms furthest from the hub, but it does not stop this ‘connection’ issue.
Can someone help with suggestions regards settings on our devices or the hub, I did wonder if it was due to the dual frequencies the hub uses, or regards getting someone out to look at this. I am at my wits end already, and I have only had BT BB 5 days.
Thanks in advance.

From reading your original post, the issue doesn't seem to be wth wireless signal strength - your devices are connected to wireless but just can't make an internet connection, correct?
In my experience there are a number of reasons why this can happen:
1. Your device has a fixed IP address and it's on a different subnet from the router. Are your devices configured for static IP addresses or DHCP? The BT Home Hubs use 192.168.1.x as the default subnet. To be honest, it doesn;t sound like this is your problem if they work when moved to a different location, but best to check.
2. Your hub isn't connected to broadband. You should be able to see this from the 'b' light on the hub. Again, doesn;t sound like your problem.
3. The device connects correctly to the wireles hub but fails to get an IP address. You can check IP address assignments on the hub itself by pointing your browser at bthomehub.home, going to Advanced Settings and then DHCP Table (this is for a HH3). You can also check the IP address assignment on your laptops, but I don't know what OS you're using so I can't tell you how to do that. If the device is failing to get an IP address then I'd try restarting the Hub.
4. Your devices are connecting to the Hub's BTWiFi network instead of your real network (this happens regularly with my iPhone and iPad). Force a reconnect to your real network.
Hope this helps!

IPhone 5S joins wifi but no internet access - help!

Forgive the length of this, I've browsed past threads about this problem and googled everything I could, but I can't fix the issue.
iPhone 5S, iOS 7.0.4
I have a MacBook Pro, a Time Capsule, several airport expresses, an iPad and AppleTV in my house... all are working fine (internet access unaffected).
The iPhone worked perfectly until two days ago... the internet access just disappeared for no apparent reason. Wi-fi strength is always strong; never a problem joining.
These are the things I've found on the interwebz and tried:
Rebooting my Xfinity router (multiple times)
Rebooting the iPhone (multiple times)
Turning wi-fi off, then on again (a zillion times)
"Forgetting" my wi-fi network, then rejoining
Changing DNS to 4.2.2.4 and back again
Resetting network settings on iPhone
Renewing lease in wi-fi settings
Checking/reviewing my Xfinity router settings and all connected devices
What am I missing?
Aside from returning the phone and getting a replacement, is there anything else I can do?
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated!

thanks for the suggestion. i did change the broadcast channel and this may hopefully help with an unrelated problem with occassional interference, but sadly it did not help with the iPhone issue.
everything still works fine, except the internet connection on the iPhone. sad face.... anyone else?

Connected to Airport Extreme but no Internet access

Weird deal.
Have an airport extreme coupled with an airport express for an extender.
Multiple devices - iMacs, macbook pros, iPhones etc.
Opened up a dell xps laptop and downloaded some files... Working fine.
Next thing, dell laptop is connected (or shows it is) to the airport extreme base station. However, it is showing no Internet access. On my iPhone or iMac, access is just fine. Pull up airport software and it shows the dell laptop connected too.
Idea on why dell cannot get through?
Maybe I should be on dell communities asking but thought I'd ask here first.

I was able to get the printer and my MacBook to resume communicating by reinstalling printer software and using the IP address for the printer during setup instead of using the printer name as before. I also can adjust the settings on my Airport utility app by clicking on configure other and entering the IP address for the base station and password. It still does not recognize the base station initially as it did before, but this is only an issue on my MacBook. If anyone knows how to get things to automatically recognize each other again I would be grateful to know how to fix this.
