  • Problem connecting to internet with linksys router after internet network password reset

    I do not know the model number of the wireless linksys router offhand, but it is one known to have a bug regarding connecting the internet. Others have solved the problem by buying another model number, but the person who owns it does not want to buy a new one since he does not know how to use any other one.
    What happened is our phone company (also the internet provider) was having technical problems so there no internet connection. Then, my computer opened with internet page to reset password to connect.
    Although I am able to get a connection on my wireless laptop, this other person in house is unable to connect to wired computer through linksys.

    Hi. WUSB300N is actually a wireless usb n adapter. A wireless receiver not a wireless access point or a router. You may want to check if you have a wireless Linksys or Cisco router there.

  • Problem connecting to internet with wired ethernet

    Shortly after installing the Leopard 10.5.2 update, I could not connect to the internet through the wired ethernet connection. Connected wireless with no problem. Spent time with Apple tech. Determined that the machine was fine. Told to check the wall port. Had a windows PC connect fine through same cable and wall port. Also brought the MacBook to a different location. Connected to the ethernet port and connected to the internet successfully. Determined that the MacBook kept using an IP address of 192.168.1.103. This is the wrong address for my connection. The correct IP address is 172.16.7.1. Installed this address manually in the MacBook and established a connection. The MacBook cannot seem to connect automatically at this location. The Windows PC connects fine. The MacBook keeps coming up with the wrong IP address. Any idea what could be causing this??

    The IP address when connected to a router will start with 192.168.x.x.
    When connected to a modem you will get a different address.
    When you connect to a cable modem for the first time it looks at the Media Access Control (MAC) address of whatever is connected.
    It is a unique number for your device.
    It only attaches to one device and provides an internet connection to that device by way of an IP address.
    If you wish to connect another device and get an IP address for that new device, you need the modem to start over, since it has a monogamous relationship with the connected device.
    In order to have the modem drop its relationship, it needs to be restarted.
    This is not true of a dsl modem.
    It sounds like your modem has linked with the MAC address of the router.
    In order to connect directly to the modem and get it to link to your computer, you need to unplug the router from power.
    Disconnect its ethernet cable.
    Restart the modem after about 15 seconds and wait until it restarts, about 2 minutes.
    Then reconnect the modem and you will likely be able to connect to the internet.

  • Problem connecting to internet with WEP security on

    Just got new iBOOK today. Wireless network in house, with two PCs and Powerbook set up - all working okay.
    New iBOOK works using airport when WEP security disabled.
    Have added the iBOOK's MAC address to the network and enabled WEP 64 bit security.
    Try to connect, type in password, but error message appears.
    Believe it may be a security problem on the iBOOK somewhere - but where?

  • Problem connecting to internet with WRT54GL wireless router.

    Hey fellas. I currently have a cable modem and a Linksys WRT54GL router with DD-WRT flashed connected to two computers. My desktop is wired to it, and I have a Windows XP and Mac OS X partition on my Macbook Pro, which uses the wireless connection. My PC is working fine, and the OS X partition on my Macbook Pro is running fine, but the XP partition is not doing too hot. Thing is, I have a connection to the router with an excellent signal strength, but Im getting BARELY any packets sent/received, if any. My settings are set to be assigned from the DHCP, but I can't seem to ping the assigned IP. I type ipconfig /all and everything seems to be in order - nothing abnormal to speak of, but I'm getting nothing For the record, I'm using WPA2 security. I'd really appreciate any help you guys can offer. I'm pretty tech-savvy so don't be afraid to use some more technical terms with me. Thanks in advance!

    I think I should add that the windows partition does not seem to work when connecting to any other network, as well.

  • Problems Connecting to Internet with AE

    I just bought a replacement AE for my home network, because my last one went dead. I am setting the AE up with a Motorola 2210 DSL modem with ATT. I bought the AE refurb and it has worked great so far, I just cannot figure out how to connect to the internet (the correct process, etc). I don't know the correct terminology and what to set each router on, but the one time I thought I got it right the Airport Utility on my Macbook brought up a alert that said another computer at xxxx IP was trying to connect and only one computer can be connected at a time and try again later.
    This alert is coming up right as my AE setup is complete and I notice under my Finder window a Macbook showing up. When I click on the MacBook showing up it shows a little icon underneath with the wording "Connecting or trying to connect...". My last AE worked just fine with DSL setup and am at a loss how to setup this new one. I just want a closed home network in which I can access my home wifi with my computer and iPod touch. Anybody out there know how to diagnose this an give me some steps to follow.
    I will be glad to put back both the AE and Motorola 2210 to factory settings just to get this done, but ATT won't help.

    Bridge mode is not the correct setting on your AirPort Extreme, despite what AirPort Utility might say.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    Update to save changes
    If you get a message about NAT, click the "ignore" option.
    Power down everything on the network for a moment. Then start the modem first, then the AirPort Extreme, then your computers and devices.
    Explanation...The modem can only supply one IP address. With the AirPort Extreme in bridge mode, only one device will able to connect to your network at a time. The "Share a public IP address" will allow multiple devices to connect to the network.

  • Problems connecting to internet with AEBS

    Equipment: MacBookPro (OS 10.5.3), AEBS (v.7.2.1), iMac (OS10.5.3)
    MacBookPro is about 20+ feet from AEBS, iMac using same AEBS, about 3 feet away. Time Warner cable modem. When I try to connect to internet on MBP, nearly every time it fails and if I do manage to get on it is slower than the slowest dial-up. If I then go into network diagnostics and go through the whole 9 yards of setting it up, I can usually connect but connection is often slow. Needless to say, this is a royal pain since my work requires me to go on line frequently. Am pretty sure the trouble started when we hooked up the iMac, but not 100% certain. Went to see the "genius" who was stymied.
    Just did some trouble shooting - switched the locations of the computers and both seem to be working fine and at speed I'd expect given equipment and cable modem. So now I'm thinking there is something about the MBP and its distance from the AEBS, since why both would work fine when we switched their locations?
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks for your time.

    Although, I know that you mentioned that you have reset your AirPort, I strongly suggest that you perform a complete power recycle of your network components to see if this will get the modem and your AEBSn communicating properly.
    Please try the following:
    o Power-down the modem, AEBSn, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
    o Power-up the modem. If it has a reset switch, go ahead and perform a modem reset. After the reset, wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-up the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-up the computer(s).
    Your computer(s) should now be able to access the Internet thru the AEBSn either by wire or wireless. Please post back your results.

  • Problems connecting to internet with 10.5.3

    I can't get connected to the internet directly through a cable modem. I have tried everything some have mentioned, but it still doesn't work. This is a brand new computer pre-installed with 10.5.3. I have talked to both Comcast and Apple, neither can help. Do I have to go back to 10.4?

    Is this ethernet connected (I'm guessing yes).
    Some Cable modems record the first MAC (Media Access Control) address they see and do not accept connections from anything else.
    Generally you need to power off the Cable modem for a few minutes and then power it back on before it will accept a new MAC address.
    Have you tried this?
    Have you looked in the System Log (via Applications -> Utilities -> Console) to see what kind of connection errors you are getting. This might help isolate the problem.

  • MacPro connect to Internet with Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2

    I would like to use both ethernet ports on my MacPro. However, if I connect routers to both ports, I lose my internet connection. I would like to be able to access the internet on both ports.
    I would like to be able to use Safari to access the router settings. When I connect routers to both ports Safri is not able to 'see' either router, despoite my putting in the correct local IP addresses.
    System preferences > Network shows that both routers are being detected properly.
    Can anybody suggest a way forward?
    More info available if needed.
    Thank you
    Peter

    Your Mac will use the connection port listed at the top of the Network preference to connect to the Internet, by default.
    You can get it to use both ports at once ONLY if you connect it to ONE Router (e.g., high-end Cisco) designed to use both ports at once, and then only if you turn on additional special features.
    Load balancing is not available with current Mac OS X software.

  • Problems connecting to internet with leopard

    I am having two problems since installing Leopard . Initially everything seemed fine but now
    1.It takes 30 sec or more when I wake up computer before the wireless mouse or keyboard come to life. Battery levels are fine
    2.I have lost the internet connect icon from the dock.Can I get this back? I have an external modem connected via usb and when I click on the connect button it won't connect ,I have to remove the cable ,put it back in and then it connects for me.
    I'm afraid that I don't know a great deal about computers so if any one can assist lay mans terms would be great.

    Should have spent more time on the 10.6 Support site. This post solved my problem.
    "Seems I found a workaround. I edited the network location by adding a new one. network came up instantly. DHCP took a bit but eventually came. Hope this helps."

  • Problems connecting to internet with WRT160N

    I'm having trouble with the internet on my mac mini.  The mac mini is connected through the ethernet and is really slow.  Sometimes it works fine.  Other times is takes like 3 tries to load a page.  Sometimes it doesn't work at all.  You just never know.  The thing is my macbook is connected wirelessly and works flawlessly.  The mac mini does this even when my macbook is turned off.  It didn't do this before I bought the router and it was working fine the first few days of using the router.  Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Is your router a WRT160N v2 model? Next, check if your firmware is build 11. If so, you should downgrade to build 8. We'll be glad to help you with that.
    WRT160N v2 users --- 1) Get BUILD 08 if you don't have it already 2) A fix IS in the works.
    Where can I get this fine firmware?
    1) http://audipages.com/router/
    2) PM me so I can email you a zip of the firmware if necessary. Be sure to use OpenDNS if reverting to build 8.

  • Problems reading PDF files with i Pad and Mac with 10.8.3 Mountain Lion OS

    I assume InDesign uses the Acrobat XI resources to generate the exported PDFs.
    I have many 1-7 page articles from which I created PDFs via the export function in ID. They all read OK on PC/Apple/Linux based computers.
    I assembled all of the articles into one 50 page document in ID and again exported the large file as a PDF.
    Several of the articles inside the large document now exhibit problems when viewed on an i Pad or a Mac running OS 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion). PC and Linux do not have this problem.
    The problems are, to quote my subscriber: "each paragraph starts with a 'dollar' sign instead of 'Th'. Later the 'Dollar' symbol changes to ' " '. The same thing happens in the Piston Ring article. This doesn't happen on the original PDF files.
    Opening the files in Acrobat Pro XI to look for differences does not discover anything although I assume the problem is somewhere in the font files.
    Any suggestions?

    I've asked the question about the versions and producers of the PDF reader software he is using. I'll be back when that answer comes in.
    I was afraid that Adobe might not use code identical to Acrobat Pro XI to generate PDFs in InDesign. I may have to 'print' to Acrobat and see if that generates a trouble-free PDF.

  • TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

    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 droping 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
