PowerMac G4 won't connect to network.

I have a G4 PowerMac that is giving me fits! It "sees" my network and other neighborhood networks, but when i try to connect to it via my Airport, I get a message that says, "See administrator".
Now the weird stuff. Although it "sees" my network, Airport Utility does not see any of my hardware (Airport Extreme and 3 Airport Express'). I can connect to my network with an ehternet cable but not wirelessly. I also have an iMac, a MacBook Air, a PowerBook, an iPad and 2 iPhones that all connect wirelessly without any problems.
I am hoping that I am just missing a setting somewhere.

Yes, that is the problem, no Airport card, but a 3rd party solution that can do WPA2, with your slow USB1.1 ports it'll only do 802.11b speeds...

If you need faster connection, then...

IPhone won't connect to networks after 3.0 software upgrade

Hi,
It was always fine, but following the 3.0 software upgrade, it won't connect to networks. I've used the 'forgotten' function and inputted the details again - didn't work. I've also reset all network settings, then started from scratch. But I'm still getting the "unable to join networks" message.
My friends are all having this problem after the 3.0 upgrade too.
I'm in the UK, using a WPA2 connection. Nothing has changed about my network settings since upgrading the phone.
Any help appreciated.

You said that all your friends were having the same problem, implying that it might be general to the UK. I thought, and still do, that it was worth pointing out that it isn't general to the UK. Sorry you feel aggrieved by that.
I mad a suggestion that might help. You haven't said whether you tried it or not. I assume you did and it didn't work. Sorry about that too.
Try a restore. If that doesn't work for you or any of your friends, take the phones back and get replacements.

[HP Photosmart D110a] Printer won't connect to network

Printer: HP Photosmart D110a
Operating system: Mac OSX 10.6.8
I'm living in a dorm room and trying to wirelessly connect my printer to my computer. I can't connect my printer to my university's network because it's protected. Instead I've been connecting to my printer's SSID network. I go into Settings --> Wireless --> Wireless Settings --> Wireless Setup Wizard --> the printer scans for routers, and then the SSID name comes up in a list underneath my university's closed network. It's called HPD110a.7809C6.
I connect to it, it says it's connected, but then the Wireless light keeps flashing blue. I go back to the Wireless tab and it shows that it's connecting, connecting, connecting... and then there's no connection.
My printer was working a little while ago. It's been tempermental and has occasionally worked. But since the last time my roommate used it and turned it off, it's refused to connect to that SSID network and has thus refused to work. I think I solved the connectivity issue I had before by connecting it to the SSID network, but now it won't connect.
Things I've tried to combat this issue:
Restarted the printer, both by turning it off and turning it on manually, as well as pulling the plug out of the back while it was on (I've read in my search for an answer for this problem that doing that can help some issues?) and unplugging it while it was off and then restarting it
Continuously tried to reconnect to the SSID network
Tried to enter the printer's IP in my internet browser's address bar; nothing came up, since it isn't connected
Turned off the wireless in the Wireless Settings menu, then turned it back on a half hour later, then waited to see if it'd reconnect
Reset printer drivers
Updated my ePrint software and installed all availible HP product updates
I've printed out the Network Test multiple times, and each time it's said everything passes, but that I've had numerous disconnects and that the connection is low
I even moved a music player that was near my printer, thinking that maybe the metal was messing up the connection somehow (last resort)
Changed the empty ink cartridge (last resort)
I haven't tried restarting my computer, but I don't think that's what the problem is. My roommate's computer can't connect to the printer either (she's running OSX 10.8).
I have the printer in my Printer list twice in two seperate ways: One version is connected through the IP address, and the other is an option that appeared once while I was connected to the SSID network and just became a new printer. That one includes the scan option, but the first one doesn't. When I try to print something, the first printer says "Network host [IP ADDRESS] is busy.. will retry in 5/10/20/etc seconds..." and the second printer says "Printer offline."
The same thing happens with both whether I've gone into my Airport settings in the upper right and connected to the printer as a Device or not. It still shows my printer as a Device that I connect to, even though the printer itself says it's offline.
Additional informatiom:
I don't have a USB cable for my printer, so I haven't tried that yet.
At one point during all the re-setting and restarting, I saw the printer's IP address appear in the Wireless menu as the connected network, but it still wouldn't print at that time.
That's all the information I can think of in relation to this issue; if anyone needs to know anything else, let me know. Hopefully it's enough, and hopefully someone will have the answer to my problem.
Sorry if anything is confusing or frantic; I've been dealing with this for a few days now, and I've searched all the help forums I could and looked through as many HP documents as possible, but nothing has changed the situation. This is basically my last hope.

After just switching from Cable to FIOS, I had to get my HP C4580 wireless printer back online too.
What was important was that the Printer settings knew about the IP and port changes that are impacted from the new network and router from Verizon. How to do this is in your HP printer network setup manual and handled by their driver when its installed on the PC.
If all fails, try hooking up to your printer via an USB cable and start from there. Make sure everything works wired before trying again from a wireless setup. Youll end up with two printers in your Windows Printer choices, one for USB and one for Wireless, but thats no big deal.

PC won't connect to network share

I have a Windows 7 PC that won't connect to a network share.
I can ping the server.
The PC has a static IP and is on the domain.
I've removed the PC and re-added it from the domain.
I've tried on a couple of different user accounts, but when either try to run to the server and share (start->run \\server\share) or use "Map Network Drive" it fails.
Any advice ?

The PC has a static IP and is on the domain.
The DNS points to your local DNS server?
or open up this registry settings:
HKLM->System->CurrentControlSet->Control->NetworkProvider->Order-> ProviderOrder
check the value of that string whether it contains this value: RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation
or compare the value of the registry with any machine on your system that is working fine.
Every second counts..make use of it. Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Apple TV 2nd won't connect to Network -3902 Error

Can anyone help with this, got brought an Apple TV for Christmas and it won't connect to the router, it can find it, but when you put the password in, it just comes up saying:
There is a problem connecting to the internet.
Check your settings and try again (-3902)
Any help would be much appreciated

I had a bit more hassle after sending my first exultant message, as it wouldn’t connect again after power off the next day. There were a number of errors in my router config, including the wrong MAC address in my MAC filtering inclusion list (got corrupted, I think!), but couldn’t get it up even after fixing that. I then reset the Apple TV and started over, including re-entering the looong passphrase I have for my WAP2 security protocol. What a pain!
It did come back with some fantastic IP address that wasn’t even on the Internal Private Network lists (eg, 10.1.1.x, 192.168.xxx.xxx, etc), so I set the Apple TV to static mode and reset all the addresses and masks to 0. Still no luck.
Then I remembered watching my Modem stats screen and seeing that it didn’t have some of my connections listed as active in the DHCP table, even though these connections were up and running. I could get them on the table by going into the Network (Advanced) Pane in System Preferences and renewing the DHCP Lease. Of course, you can’t do that on the Apple TV. However, you can reboot your modem to refresh everything. Did that, and guess what, Apple TV came up smiling! The WAP2 Password was clearly stored somewhere, and the reboot of the modem clearly triggered a response.
That was last night (or should I say, very early morning!). I shut power off to my TV and HiFi when not using, and this also shuts off the Apple TV. I just booted both up this morning and the Apple TV came up smelling like a rose.
Hope this helps a few people.

Airport Extreme won't connect to network

I just replaced our old Airport Extreme with a new Airport Extreme. Now our Airport Express won't connect with our network. I've got the dreaded blinking yellow light and the Airport Express does not show up as an icon in my Aiport Utilities application. Any ideas? Thanks.

Whenever changing out networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of all of your networking gear to make sure that they are communicating properly. Once you re-established a working baseline between the new Extreme and the modem, we can assist you with the Express if you still have issues getting it to connect.

MBP won't connect to network.

I have a '09 MBP, Cox Internet, and a Belkin Router. My MBP will connect to the router through WiFi and through LAN but for some reason won't actually get internet. The router works through the home computer and laptop (both Windows). I've read that there are sometimes problems with the Belkin router and Macs but I've tried every setting on there and can't figure it out.
I want to at least pinpoint where the problem lies. We have a fairly old modem so I'm not sure if that is the issue. I've also tried plugging in the computer directly into the modem which results in the same thing, which is odd because I used to have a Buffalo router and everything worked fine.
I used to be able to connect on my MBP by VPN'ing into a different network, so I guess there is some DNS issues on my network, but not I can't VPN either.
Any ideas?

DNS, first thing to check for the network. Use GoogleDNS as a test: 8.8.8.8

Replaced Airport Extreme router with Airport Time Capsule-now printer won't connect to network

I had no issues with connecting to the Airport Extreme. I have recently replaced the Extreme with an Airport Time Capsule (the new one that is 802.11 ac). All of my other products were able to detect the WIFI router and connected with no issue once I entered the password. However, the HP 2710 finds the WiFi router, allows me to select it but when I enter my password and click OK, it comes back after several minutes saying that it can't connect to the network. I checked the IP address and it's all 0.0.0.0 - it's won't establish an IP address either.

Hello @theros1093 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand that you're having issues connecting to your router. I would like to help!
I'd recommend powering down your computer. Once it's powered down, go to the printer and select Setup , select Network, and select. Restore Network Defaults. Power down the printer. Once it's all shut down, unplug the router power for 60 seconds, and plug it back in. After it broadcasts, power on the printer and computer, and reconnect to the wireless network.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Time Capsule won't connect to network after factory reset

Hello
I have reset my time capsule back to factory settings, After this was completed the time capsule will no longer connect to my network.
When airport utility is launched the app will search for the time capsule. Then when the app is gathering information at the reading previous settings stage air port utility quits unexpectedly (There is a report, this can be attached if any one needs it)
The light on the time capsule is flashing amber.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Im running a mac book pro with lion 10.7.3
Cheers Dan

If you reset the Time Capsule back to Factory Default Settings, the Time Capsule is now broadcasing a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxxx.
Click the AirPort icon at the top of your Mac's screen and make sure that you are logged onto that network....no password is required.
Then, open AirPort Utility.
You should see the xxxxxx number displayed in the upper left hand corner of the window when you click on Other AirPort Base Stations
Or, if you do not want to connect using wireless for the configuration, temporarily connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the back of the Time Capsule and then open AirPort Utility.
If you still experience issues, check to make sure that you are following Apple's instructions for the default reset in this support document:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
We have also seen reports from users about difficulties with the new version of AirPort Utility.
Download and install the full feature version of AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion to see if that will work.

IMac won't connect to network laser printer

Hi,
I've recently purchased a new 27" iMac 3.4 GHz with 16 GB RAM running OS 10.6.8. Everything has been running smoothly until this morning when I accidently switched off my HP LaserJet 4000n. After I turned it back on, I found that I could no longer print from the iMac to the Lasterjet any more. So, (stupidly) I thought I'd remove to printer from the Fax / Printer selection in System preferences and simply click + to add new printer and reinstrall the HP LaserJet 4000n. But here's the problem, my new iMac won't let me add a new printer because it can't find the HP LaserJet. I have tried everything. I even got a message saying the Appletalk was not turned on - interesting as 10.6.8 doesn't have appletalk any more. I did however find that Appletalk had been switched off on the G5, so I clicked it back on, but i still couldn't locate the HP LaserJet on the iMac. I can get the iMac to print if I connect to the HP LaserJet 4000n as a shaed prionter by turning on the G5 and using the Bonjour shared prointer facility, but I got the imac so I could sell the G5. I don't want to have to keep turning on another computer just to print off a recipe for chicken soup.
I spent about 6 hours on the phone to Apple support today with an elevated support person, but even they gave up in the end after we had tried everything. I even tried to copy the system file to another HD to see if I booted up just form the system if it would connect to the printer in the absence of all applications, but couldn't as i kept getting an error type 8003 message about 45 seconds into the copy process. As you may imagine I am seriously frustrated and not a little pee'd off.
Any clues as to what's happening, and also, how come the Apple support guy didn't ask me if i had backed everything up on Time Machine - which I do. Odd.
It's probably too late fore that option now anyway as he got me to renew the DHCP leases - so my router will have different numbers now.

I'm using the same printer with my late 2010 iMac (3.2GHz i3, 27") running OS X 10.6.7.
Took me a long while to get it to work, because I'd had it set up to work with my G4 running OS 9 via AppleTalk, and the iMac needs to connect via IP.
The setup that finally worked for me -
In the Print/Fax control pane in System Preferences, click the add button. In the Add Printer window, click the IP item in the header bar. In the new screen -
Protocol - set to "HP JetDirect - Socket"
Address: enter the IP address of the printer. If you don't already have that, you need to get it from the printer itself. To do that, use the "Menu" and "Item" buttons on the printer to step through the various offerings until you get to the Configuration page - select to print that page. The printer's IP address will be included on that page.
The IP address was not included on that page when I first printed the page. I think this was because it had originally been set up to use AppleTalk. The solution was to do a Cold Reset of the printer. To do that, turn the printer off. Hold the Go button down and turn it back on. Release the Go button when you see resetting activity in the message screen on the printer. Once I did that, the next time I printed the Configuration page the IP address was included.
Leave the rest of the Add Printer screen blank.
That should take care of it.

Sony bdp s390 won't connect to network

I upgraded to ATT Uverse this week from dsl. Now i've lost my connection. I triple checked all the settings, all are correct, but can't connect. Sony says it's a network issue, it's not if i can connect with my pcs & cell phones. ATT says it's Sony's issue. Why will it connect with dsl but not uverse? Sony says it's compatable. None wants to assist, they blame each other.

No i have nvg 510 by motorola, i had a 2 wire previously. Went from dsl to uverse both by ATT, ATT did the install. Today my LG smart tv wasn't connected, i put in the ssid & connected. I have internet connection with Directv, again no issues at all. Same #'s for the player, did not change any settings anywhere on tv, modedm, pc, nowhere. Since the install all devices connected with no problem, just put in the ssid #. Again ATT blames sony, sony blames ATT. Chatted with both at same time today, both ask same questions, i gave both the answers from each other. This was both level 2 with both. I'm back to square one. I think i'll try another player, maybe with uverse it messed up a setting, but i did do a reset, twice, once each day. The more i think about it i think it's the player because everything else connects. How about you?Thanks for the advice. Tom

New HP Photosmart Premium AIO (c309g) won't connect to network.

Hi,
I just received my new HP Photosmart Premium C309g printer and I'm having trouble connecting to my home network. Everything else works fine but it just searches for ages looking for wireless routers and never comes up with any results. Even Wifi Protected setup just continues to search and doesn't come up with anything
I ran the network test report and it said Wireless On- PASS Wireless Working - FAIL. I've reinstalled all the software and nothing's working so help would be appreciated!
Router : DLink (DIR-615)
Encryption type: WEAP2 (something or other lol!)
ISP type: cable (virgin media)
thanks !

I would say the printer's radio is bad. Turn the printer off, unplug power from the back of the printer, wait 30 seconds, plug in and turn on.
Now, run the Wireless Network Test from the front panel. If it fails again, return the printer for a new one.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
