PCI wireless card connected to network but safari says not connected to net

Hi everyone
I moved my computer and had to change from wired ethernet to wifi. I installed a ralink PCI card in my MDD G4 dual 867. It sees the network and connects but Safari doesn't know it is on a network. What am I missing? I also have to connect manually every bootup. How do I setup autostart? My wireless router is a D-link DIR-615. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi David,
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • Connected to network but Safari says not connected

    Just had to reinstall OS X and upgraded to 10.4.11
    I connect to my FIOS network using Airport, and am having no problems. However, when I attempt to open Safari it says I am not connected to the Internet.
    I run diagnostics and the following happens:
    it lets me get all the way to selecting an airport network, then does a scan--says it's looking for PPPoE host, unable to find. Tells me to check network settings.
    I have tried restarting the Actiontec router with no results. what gives?

    I think my son's apt bldg uses FIOS and as I recall he is also PPoE, so PPoE may not be as uncommon as we think, for FIOS.
    You should have gotten a letter from your ISP that said what your username and password for your account with the ISP is, to setup for PPoE, whether you are static or DHCP external WAN IP address assignment, etc. Do you still have that letter?
    You're not connecting to your computer via ethernet cable directly to your ActionTec right now, correct? You're going wirelessly? If that's the case, can you reconfigure your hardware to connect to your ActionTec via ethernet cable? (Don't forget to change your computer's system prefs network stuff from airport to ethernet DHCP.) And if so, I know you've done so gazillions of times already but if you haven't done so (lately?) while tethered via ethernet cable, try rebooting your router and your computer one more time. I'm trying to figure out whether its a wireless thing, e.g., maybe the wireless isn't turned on in the ActionTec or has MAC authentication enabled and your computer's Airport card's MAC address isn't on the list, or the wireless channel encryption password or algortithm is mismatched, or... So, if we can get in via ethernet cable, we can start rummaging around in your computer's network settings and in your ActionTec's configuration pages.
    By the way, how are you posting on this forum? Different computer same network? Or different computer different network?

  • Wi fi showsonnected but safari says not connected to internet

    wi fi shows connected but safari says not connected to internet.

    I forgot to mention that, but I have done that as well.

  • IPad is connected to Airport, but Safari says not connected to Internet?

    I'm hoping someone can suggest something for me.  We had a power outage last night, and when the power came back and I got the Airport working again our iPad won't connect to the internet.  I don't think the problem would be in the Airport, since the computer is connected wirelessly also and is connecting OK.  I have tried renewing the lease, turning the wi-fi off and back on, forgetting the network and reestablishing the connection, and restarting the iPad, all to no avail.  The IP address listed when I look at the iPad settings starts with 169 - from what I've read that means it's not connecting correctly.  Is there anything else I can try to get it working?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Just purchased an iphone5 today. Network provider said it was good to go. but I cannot set up Facebook, Gmail etc. as Safari says I am not connected to the internet.

    have you checked your internet connection?
    settings>wifi
    see if its on.

  • Airport shows I am connected to a secure network, but Safari will not connect nor will any other internet software.

    I cannot connect via Safari to a live Internet connection.  System preferences show Airport is on and connected to a secure network.  I am able to connect using my iPad and other devices.

    Thanks. Turns out that I had to re list the router and update its password along with resetting the DHCP.  Once that was accomplished all seemed to work fine again.  Just can't figure out why the connection was disrupted.

  • AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

    I'm stumped.
    I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
    Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
    Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
    Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
    Any other suggestions?

    John,
    Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
    Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
    Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
    My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
    If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
    If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
    This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
    Thank you again,
    Christine

  • HT5648 Java control panel says I'm up to date, but Safari says not?

    I am running OS X 10.7.5 and Java 7 update 6.
    Safari tells me that I need to update to a more secure version.
    The latest is 7 update 17.
    However the Java Control Panel is set to auto-update, and says that I am up-to-date with release 6.
    So it doesn't give me an update option.
    What is going on?
    Thanks for any info

  • Startup gets 'Network cable unplugged' on mini-PCI wireless card

    I recently installed a Netgear DG834GT wireless router and now have an intermittent problem connecting my Tecra 9100 to it. If the 9100 has been shutdown for a while (like overnight), when I restart I always get 'Network cable unplugged' for the wireless connection. Rebooting a number of times (anything from 3 upwards) I eventually get connected to the router and all then works fine for hours. Even a quick restart at this point (i.e. once the wireless card has connected) does not cause a problem but as soon as I leave the machine shutdown for a length of time it fails again at reboot.
    There are no errors in the Event log.
    I am using the built in mini-PCI wireless card and have already upgraded to the latest driver.
    Any ideas gratefully recieved, at the moment each morning is a 20-30 minute frustration of rebooting trying to get my connection working.
    (Running Win2K Professional)

    Checking other boards for help (Netgear etc.) it seems that the 'Network cable unplugged' is a common message when wireless connectivity is failing. However, to prove the point, I have disabled the other LAN card (for which I was also getting 'network cable unplugged' but as expected since it was). I still get the same issue with the wireless card, although now the reboots are slightly more predictable - it normally seems to succeed on the third reboot. I guess disabling the other card has changed the startup timing slightly and in that way made things slightly better.
    Again, any other suggestions gratefully received. As this seems to be a timing issue at startup, I am suspicious that one of the other things that runs at that time is causing the problem.

    More info : I have found that this is time related rather than related to the number of reboots. It always fails on the first reboot after being shut down for a period of time. At this point, however long I wait the connection never comes up. However, if I wait a few minutes and then reboot, the second reboot will always successfully establish the connection.
    On this basis, the problem has become slightly less annoying as I have a workaround - boot once, wait a few minutes and reboot. That being said, any information on how I can isolate this further (e.g. tracing what is running at startup) would be gratefully recieved.

  • Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router.  All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4.  It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page.  Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Comcast just replaced my cable modem/wireless router.  All devices connect properly except my iPhone 4.  It shows itself to be connected to the network, but it does not load any web page.  Resetting the iPhone does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you for your response.
    I had rebooted the router (several times, actually), to no avail.
    I do not know the answer to whether MAC filtering is enabled on the router.  Have tried to find info about that, but unsuccessfully.  Router is an Arris TG852G, supplied by Comcast.  I would be surprised if MAC filtering were the issue, since in addition to the computer, we have successfully connected several other devices to the wifi, namely an iPad, a Android phone and a Kindle Fire - all able to access internet pages through the wifi, and all without a need to add the device to a MAC address whitelist.  To add to the mystery, the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone 4 to my network and access web pages.  He was unable to connect my iPhone, however, after trying for some time.
    I seem to recall reading somewhere that an iPhone cannot connect to a wireless "n" router, only "b" or "g".  The Arris router is described as a n/g/b compliant router, and as noted the Comcast tech was able to connect his iPhone, so don't know why that would be the issue here.
    By the way, my iPhone does connect wirelessly to my network at home.  This difficulty is at a second home.
    Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

  • I am connected to a Wi Fi network but Safari isn't finding it...

    I have connected to several different wi-fi networks, but Safari acts as thought I am not connected.  Settings says that I am connected.

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address 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 can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (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 make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • A20p, got a mini-pci wireless card working on it

    I had thought this impossible. Everywhere i'd looked i couldn't find one person who'd got this working.
    Today i've just done it. I had an SMC wireless router which had failed, it kept powering itself off all of the time so i'd bought a new router. Before i chucked the old router out i took it apart to have a look to see if i could find what had failed. To my surprise it had a mini-pci wireless card mounted in a slot on the mainboard (to give it wireless functionality i guess). I got the wireless card out and left the antenna leads still connected to the antennas on the back panel of the router.
    Then i removed the mini-ethernet/56K modem card (IBM FRU-08K3125) from the A20p mini-pci slot and put the mini-pci wireless card in it's place. For the time being i left the antenna wires hanging out of the bottom with the router back panel and antenna still attached.
    I hadn't got a clue who the manufacturer of the wireless card was but what i did have was the chipset number "TNETW1130GVF" which i obviously got off the chip on the mini-pci card. After a quick search i found some drivers that should be compatible with the chipset:-
    http://www.safecom.cn/code/support/DMF.aspx?pid=316#
    I've also tried these (actually the same thing):-
    http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/other/2007-6-26/TI-TNETW1130GVF-Chipset-Driver.htm
    I loaded them up and it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both driver downloads work!!!!
    Now i've just got to find some internal antenna and wire them into the case!
    Edit: i forgot to mention that the card is being recognised as a Texas instruments 802.11g MiniPCI card in Windows Device Manager (which is no surprise as it's a Texas Instruments Chipset). Also i'm on WinXP Pro SP3.

    Who would have known? I wouldn't have expected a router to use a mini-PCI card.

  • Satellite 1905-S303 PCI wireless card won't start code 10

    I've put a broadcom BCM94306PM PCI wireless card in my laptop. The laptop is equipped with antenae however one is damaged and can't be connected, these cards can work with one side only and I've even read somewhere that they can work over a short range with no antenae. My problem is device manager states that the device cannot start code 10. I have a clean install of XP Pro with SP1 (not from the original restore disc). With this in mind I suspect that there must be some Toshiba utility or driver missing to allow the card to work. Any help appreciated.

    I've downloaded drivers that others have stated are for this wireless card but I'm not able to find drivers that work. I've heard speak of a Toshiba Wireless LAN manager type of utility but I can't find any other reference to this on Toshiba site. This is not an original Toshiba wireless card, but I thought you could just plug any mini PCI device in and install drivers to suit. Is this not the case? The person that I purchased the card from says that some manufacturers prevent use of third party PCI devices. I find this unlikely. Could this card really be broken?
