Only able to connect to internet through Broadband DSL one computer at a time.

Hi,
I am using Verizon Broadband DSL, and have used it for a few years.
Equipment:
Westell Versalink Model 327W
Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G
I have a desktop (running Windows XP), and 2 laptops (1 XP, 1 Vista) that are connected wirelessly. Until recently all 3 computers have been working fine, connecting to the internet on the wireless network.
The problem is this: When any one of the computers is connected to the internet through the DSL none of the others computers is able to connect – I see the message “Connecting through WAN miniport (PPOE)…”, i.e. I am only able to connect to the internet 1 computer at a time.
As soon as I disconnect from the ‘connected’ computer (desktop or laptop) I am immediately able to successfully connect to the internet on either of the other 2 computers.
I’ve tried resetting everything – no luck.
I don’t recall having changed any of the settings and am baffled.
Any thoughts as to the problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Charlie
PS. I haven't called the Verizon DSL Tech Support team yet...but I will soon. I figured on asking here first.

Ok.
#1 You must get to the network control panel on your computer.
One of the ways, for Windows XP is:
a) Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections
b) The screen will look like steps 5 and 6, on http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
For Windows Vista:
a) Go to the globe icon (start button) -> Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Network Connections.
b) The screen will look like steps 5, 6, and 7, on
http://portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm
#2 Right click on the WAN miniport (PPPOE), and remove the check mark that says Set as Default Connection.

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.

TS1253 I am connected to internet through modem. How can I use Time Capsule as a wreless harddrive and connection to USB printer

Can I use a Time Capsule as a part of my network> I am connected to internet through modem and want to use Time capsule as a wireless harddrive and wireless connection to usb printer. How can I do that? Please help

This type of setup is not officially supported by Apple.
It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule this way, but please take a minute to consider a few things that you may not have thought about, as this is...frankly....the worst possible way that you could configure the Time Capsule.
Wireless backups will take twice as long as normal wireless. Why? The signal must make a "double hop".
Hop "one" would be from your Mac to the wireless router, then the signal must make hop "two" to get back to the Time Capsule.
In addition to doubling the time for backups to occur, this doubles the chances for an error to occur during a backup.
The Ethernet ports are not enabled at all on the Time Capsule when it is configured this way, so backup over much faster Ethernet is not possible.
The USB port is enabled, so assuming that the printer is compatible, it could be configured to connect that way. Keep in mind that only printing is supported. If you have an All-in-One device, advanced functions like scan, copy, maintenenance will not be supported.
So, do you really want to try this? There are no guarantees here that things will work at all.

Suggestion when only able to connect to some services when using Kerberos.

I had been having problems using Kerberos for authentication for some services. It worked fine when on a LAN and worked when I had a VPN (MS-CHAP). But when trying to connect normally, I was able to get a TGT, but often ran into issues when trying to connect to other services (e.g. IMAP / VPN). What's more, sometimes everything did work, but stopped again soon after.
My setup has one server providing all the services in question. There were several CNAMES linking the different services (e.g. ichat.mydomain, mail.mydomain etc).
I found a number of people who seemed to have similar issues, but the threads were archived so I couldn't post a reply. So I'm hoping they come across this message and it helps them.
Because of an unrelated problem, it was brought to my attention that there were some problems with the DNS records relating to my domain – not on my server, but on the net.
After some experimenting, I discovered that if I set the DNS (in System Preferences) on my client Mac to the server I was contacting most things worked.
It seems that the Kerberos system may do a reverse lookup at some point, or something similar.
When I do a "dig -x <my ip address>" I get different responses over time, and from different DNS servers. When I did "dig @<my own dns> -x <my ip address>" it always came back with the correct server name.
So perhaps the issue lies with the DNS that your machine is looking up? This would explain why it works on the lan (the DNS is probably your server) and over VPN (again your server is the DNS).
This may not be the answer to these people's problems, but if you were getting messages such as "Server not found in Kerberos database" in your logs, it may pay to check what is getting return by DNS servers outside your organisation.

Can only connect to Internet from one computer at a time on network

I have a 2 computer network in my office networked with an Asante 10/100 hub. The computers are a iMac 24 (Intel) and an old G4 (PCI). The network has worked fine until just recently. Now, I can only connect to the Internet with one computer at a time...(DSL connection). I checked cables, ports, etc, and I'm wondering if this is a 10.4.9 issue. Coincidentally, I noticed that I am not able to access the Internet via Win XP using Parallels which also worked fine up until recently. I checked with the ISP (AT&T) who confirmed that all is OK on their end. Anyone have similar problem? Could OS X 10.4.9 be the culprit? Any help on this will be much appreciated. Thanks.
iMac 24 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2G RAM; NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256

I'd consider that a 3 computer network, Parallels being a virtual machine would alias the ethernet interface and need its own IP address. That may or may not have anything to do with your problem. Actually, the way you've described things, it sounds like a lot has to do with your contract with ATT. Is there a routing device at your end?
The only way 10.4.9 could be the culprit would be if it were the routing device.

After updated OS X 10.9.5 this afternoon, I couldn't connect to Internet through wifi. Please help me!!!

After I updated osx 10.9.5 I can't connect to internet through wifi. So, what the problem please help me to solve this problem urgent!!!

I've been having horrible wifi connectivity problems with my mid-2012 MacBook Air for the last several weeks. I just realized today that the problems started around the time that I upgraded to 10.9.5 on September 17th.
It's reached the point where I keep Airport Utility up in a corner of my screen so I can see whether I have internet or not before hitting Send or Post.
After reading Linc Davis' post from September 27th, above, I ran the Wireless Diagnostics when I lost internet. Internet access came back while the diagnostics were running. I pressed Continue and lost connection while the second was running. Based on Airport Utility, I do not have connectivity more than I do.
Note that Airport Utility usually shows that it can see the router, but there is no Internet access. Other times it shows that it can not see the router.
Wireless Diagnostics suggested that I restart the router (a new Airport Extreme that I installed in August.) Restarted the router did not solve anything.
All other devices, wired and wireless, are working fine. The affected device is the only one running 10.9.5 wirelessly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Trouble while connecting to internet through phone

Hi, I have bought a nokia 6085 phone some weeks ago. I downloaded Nokia PC suite 6.83.14.1 and tried to connect my PC (WIN XP Service pack 2) to internet through the phone. I get the connection, but after some minutes I get and unrecoverable error (svchost.exe error) cannot navigate on internet anymore (no packet traffic) but the nework connection is still alive in the connected status and cannot manage to drop the connection and start a new one. The only solution is to restart the PC. What's the matter? I urge to have a solution since in the next two weeks I will be in a place where my phone will be the only way to connect to internet, and I need to connect.
Maybe need to update phone software?
Please give me a solution.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi
I think we need bit more information regarding this issue.
You've said machines are not able to connect to Internet and Domain. Two different things are you not able to log on to the domain with your domain user accounts.
Are the Domain Controllers are up and running or have you checked if your switchs are working properly.
Please update with the above then we can help further.
Thanks

Can't connect to internet through airport extreme but have full signal

I've seen a lot of posts but I still can't connect wirelessly via airport extreme.
Using a Powerbook running 10.6.4, I have updated the airport extreme's firmware and have a full signal strength, but I can't connect to the internet.
I get an error message that it can't find the server.
I can get online if I connect the internet cable directly to my computer.
so..
Airport is working
Internet is working
Wireless is not working
suggestions?

That's not possible. Do you mean "MacBook"?
I ... have a full signal strength, but I can't connect to the internet.
First try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in this message:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10695921&start=1
They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take a minute or so to try.
If that doesn't help, connect to your wireless network, then open the Network panel of System Preferences. Select the AirPort connection item, click on the "Advanced" button, then on the "TCP/IP" tab. What do you see for the three values below "Configure IPv4"? Now click on the "DNS" tab. What do you see for "DNS Servers"?
Finally, type this URL in the address bar of your browser:
http://74.125.157.99/
and press "return". Does that take you to Google? If so, there's something wrong with the way your computer or router is handling DNS lookups.

+Alternate DNS server: 195.131.52.130
and in IE i use the proxy server: 192.168.1.12:8080
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.

The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning. I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory. What else can I do?

The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning. I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory. What else can I do?

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
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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi.

Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
