OSX Server connects to router but dos not reach the internet

Sorry that i have no answer, but i'd like to add my problem as well.
I have a OSX Server witch is configured to an Airport Extreme. It is connected to the Router and dos all the sharing on the local network. But same as you describe it dos not connect to the Internet.
I checked my firewall options and it is set to allow all traffic.
I can ping the router but i don't get pings from pages on www !?
If anyone has an Idea where else i might look, i would be grateful for all advice..
Please drop me a mail on tj{at}daemgen.net
If anyone has a solution to the problem i will send an coupon for an Starbucks coffee in addition to my appreciation and thanks as i am looking since quite a while by now and it doesn't seem that i see what might cause the problem !!

There really isn't enough data to answer your question directly, but there are some things to check.
Being able to ping or serve data to the local network just means that the server has a working network connection, so that's a start, but to get to external sites it needs two things - first, a valid DNS server address that it can use to lookup hostnames, and it needs to know the address of the router on the network that provides an internet connection.
In this case you should check System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> Advanced and check the TCP/IP settings - make sure the Router (or 'Gateway') address is set to the address of your Airport Extreme. Then check the DNS setting to make sure you have a valid DNS server set.
If those are correct then you'll need to post back with more data, specifically what you do see/get when you try to access remote sites. What error messages do you get?
Oh, and while ping might be a good basic test, it isn't absolute - in other words, ping could fail, even when you can connect to a remote server, since pings could be blocked by a firewall or router at either end of the network.

Connected to router but cannot get on the internet

Hi,
I have connected my sons laptop to home hub 3 and it is showing connected to router but when we try to connect toonternet we get error message,have tried connecting to lots of different web pages without any joy.
Laptop will connectto other wireless when we are not at home. Really not sure where we are going wrong.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Couple of things to check:
1) Are you using the wireless passkey that is on the Homehub label to log on with?
2) It could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
Select Start
In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP addres and DNS server address automatically.
Once done try and connect to internet.

Connected to WiFi but can not get the internet

I'm really hoping that someone can help. I bought my Ipad yesterday but am unable to connect to the internet. I have connected to my WiFi and have full signal strenght but when I go on Safari it tells me that I'm not connected. I have tried changing some of my settings but can only get as far as the message 'Cannot open page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding' I also have the same problem with my Iphone and Ipod touch, I have never tried to sort these as don't need the internet on them. I have tried updating my Itunes and Ipad, both are now fully updated. My internet is working fine on any computer that is not apple... Please help, im pulling my hair out here.
Many thanks

What do you see if you go to Settings > WiFi and touch the ">" next to your network name?
If you touch the ">" you will get the details of your network connection. Things like the type of IP address allocation (DHCP, Static, Bootp), assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router address, DNS addresses, etc.
Please report what you see there.
Also please identify the make, model and type of router you have.
Do you know what kind of security you are using on your router? None, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
When you said, "I have tried changing some of my settings", what did you do?

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch and it shows to be connected to WiFi but will not access the internet, please tell me what i can do, because i use this device for work and it make things difficult that it will not work now. Please help, thank you!

I really need help, my ipod shows to connect to the WiFi but then it will not let me use the interent it says no connection but according to my screen i have WiFi connection, i am very confused an i would really appriciate it if someone could help me sort out this problem so i can start using my iPod for work again.

Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router. Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address. To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

MY APPLE TV SHOWS THAT iT IS CONNECTED TO MY WIFI, BUT CAN NOT ACCESS THE INTERNET

my apple tv found my wifi, but can not access the internet??

I have been on the phone with Apple, done all of the trouble shooting they have recomended. When I attempt to connect it to the internet I get a message reading "your apple tv is connected to your wi-fi but cannot connect to the internet. I have plugged the modem right into the apple tv and it still won't work. This is the second device I've used. (apple gave me a new one after the first didn't work). I just thought there might be someone out there who had the same issue and knows how to resolve it.

Wrt54g laptop wireless modem connected to router but will not access in any browsers.

I started a friends laptop at my house put in the security key and it connected to my network with excellent strength. When I opened IE or Safari it said unable to access page not connected to the internet.
I went into the properties of the wireless modem and checked to see if it matched my wireless laptop. It was slightly different with not all the same options. I changed something and now I can not get it to connect at all.
I hooked the friends laptop to my lan line and it works perfectly of course, so I know it has to be in the settings.
Any answers to the first problem of browsers not connecting, And anyway you can help me get the friends laptop settings back to where they were?
Thanks

Connect a computer to the Router, Open the Setuppage by 192.168.1.1 , password "admin"
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 digit key in key1 and keep a note of the key and click save settings ...
Then on your laptop try to connect to the netwok with the key.

MacBook is connected to wifi but unable to surf the internet

I have a 1st generation white MacBook and I have been connected to my home wireless network for a few months now without any issues.
Today for the first time I took my MacBook to my friend's place to work on a project. I connected to his home wireless network, which was not password protected (hence I did not need to tweak any settings).
However upon returning home, I tried connecting to my home network and though I could surf the net, it was excruciatingly slow, much worse than a 56KB modem. Then suddenly without warning it stopped being able to surf the internet.
I have restarted my MacBook and my router several times. It can't be a problem with my home network as the other computers in the home (1 MacBook Pro, 1 Windows laptop, 1 netbook and 1 iPod Touch) can connect to the internet without any problem.
I tried going to System Preference>Network>Create New Location etc but it still doesn't work.
Can anyone offer a solution as to why I am facing this problem only after taking it to my friend's place? Could it be a virus or a corrupted network I connected to at my friend's?

I have just started having a similar problem.
I am using a free WiFi service at a local arts centre. I have used this service many, many times over the past few years and it works perfectly well. Until today. i turned on my MacBook and, as expected, it connected to the WiFi network perfectly. However, I could not connect to the internet. I tried with Chrome and Safari, I tried via iTunes and through mail, but nothing.
I know the WiFi is working, as there are other people around me using the network perfectly well, however I can't connect.
Not sure if this impacts it, but I am currently connected via a 3G dongle.
Can anyone please provide any assistance?
Thanks

What Alain is saying is that you have two subnets listed in your switch. The comcast modem may support static routes, but it may only support natting it's primary IP address that's configured on its lan. For example, from your config I assume that vlan 3 is the vlan that the comcast modem is configured as. If you were to change the lan side ip address on the modem to vlan 2, your vlan 2 would be able to get out, but vlan 3 would not. The only way that I can see getting around this is to get a router, or ASA, and put it between your comcast modem and switch. Have the public address passed to the router/ASA and then you can do your natting on that device.

Firefox loads but will not access the Internet, showing only a blank page with a single tab "Untitled," and "Done" in the progress indicator.

When I load Firefox, I get a blank page. There is a single tab with "Untitled," and an indication "Done" at the bottom. The program does not respond to any of my bookmarks--it works but the end result is the blank page described above.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />

Connected but can not surf to internet with n97wif...

my n97 has no problem using my home wifi to surf the internet.....
i want to try to use it to connect to the wifi from Mcdonald....in Brisbane...
i get the Mcdonald log-in screen and accept the terms and log in OK.....but could not surf the internet....and get the error message....
I have the same situation when I go to the free wifi in Brisbane library....
Can anyone please help

If you are connected, you are connected. What error message do you get? There could be a lot of reasons why surfing fails. Maybe you did'nt order anything and Mac is angry with you.

My new ifone has detected my internet router but when I enter the network key info it cannot allow me to join the wifi

My new ifone 4s has detected my internet router but will not recognise the network key and therefore will not allow me to join the internet. Can anybody help?

Reboot the router by unplugging it for at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in and try it again.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

Help, Connected To The Router, But Still Not Connecting To Internet

We bought a router and a wireless adapter a few years ago, I moved out and then moved back. I tried to connect to the network we setup in the first place, but it didn't work and I was told that I had to reset the router, so I did, and I setup a new network, and the computer with the router is working fine, but the computer with the adapter, even after I ran the setup disk on it again, all it does is connect to the router, but I'm still not getting the internet. If anyone has any ideas on how I can remedy this problem I would really appreciate it if you would share it with me. Thank you.
Adapter Model # - WUSB54GC
Router Model # - WRT54G2

Try and download the driver for the adapter again. It can be found here.
Also for the router, that can be found here.
