Problems connecting my Powerbook G4 to a D-Link DI 624 access point

I am unable to connect my Powerbook G4 to my D-Link DI 624 wireless router.
Here's my setup:
128 bit (HEX) WEP Encryption (Key Index 4)
MAC Filtering
"Static" DHCP
Here's what i've done:
Added the Powerbook's on board ethernet and wireless MAC's to the MAC Filter's table
Assigned both adapters a static IP
Configured both to look at my router's IP
Copied the HEX key (verbatim) while configuring the wireless adapter
Here's the skinny... The onboard NIC works. The wireless does not.
Please tell me what i'm doing wrong. I know it's my router's configuration because I successfully connected to a friends router without any problmes.
They are using a Linksys with DHCP and encryption.
I tried changing my setting on my router to resemble my firends to no avail. I resorted in restoring my router's config from backup.
I'm a PC Tech/ Network Engineer who is treading in new territory with my G4. So far i'm wondering what in the **** took me so long to convert! However, i'm glad that I did.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON MY SITUATION, PLEASE HELP!!!

You certinly have me mystified. I have a D-Link DL624 wireless router. I plugged my dsl modem into it, plugged it in to the wall, opened the lid of my powerbook, and it connected. I just thought it was supposed to be that easy!
Sorry I wasn't much help

  • IPhone 6 WiFi problem when using TP-Link TL-WA830RE access point

    I have a problem with the WiFi connection for my new iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.1. When I connect to the access point, TP-Link TL-WA830RE, the connection fails every few minutes.
    However when I connect to the providers router, there is no problem at all.
    Other devices in my home work perfect with the TP-Link access point??? My Ipad, my wives iPhone and iPad etc...
    For now the workaround is OK for me but I am curious if other people have experienced the same problem.

    I was having the same issue. Try changing the WPA Encryption of your modem router to TKIP+AES. I hope that myt help.

  • Dell E228WFP 22" display - Problems connecting to Powerbook 1.67ghz

    Hi All
    I've seen this same issue mentioned in another post elsewhere in the Apple Discussions, but it seems to remain unresolved in that instance...
    I've just bought a 22" Dell E228WFP display to connect to my 1.67ghz Powerbook 17", running OS 10.4.9, as a second display. It's connected with the supplied DVI cable, but continually blanks out while using it. The screen goes black for a second, then reappears.
    This only happens when something moves on either screen - particularly when operating the dock or - most severely - when dragging windows around. It's perfectly fine when sitting unattended, or when I've tested running a game on the Dell screen. The problem only seems to occur when interacting with some interface element...
    This seems to suggest that it's related to the video output from the Powerbook rather than a problem with the display. I don't have another Mac to hook it up to to test it under other conditions unfortunately.
    The display does not exhibit the same problem under self-test mode, nor does switching resolution, colours, mirroring or arrangements make any difference. The pwer light stays on consistently throughout.
    Anyone else ever experienced anything similar?
    Cheers

    Powerbook 1.67ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I've just noticed in another topic that the DVI output from Macs is 'exclusive' to Apple Cinema Displays, and can only be used with third-party display via a DVI - VGA adapter. This would make sense in relation to the other post on this subject elsewhere, where the poster talks about resolving the problem with the VGA adapter, although he thought this indicated the DVI cable was dodgy... I've not seen this issue coming up in any other discussion/post here or elsewhere where various third-party (and Dell) displays are discussed.
    In addition to the circumstances listed above in my earlier post, I've now noticed that the problem is at its worse when viewing a web page with Flash content - constantly updating/changing animations and effects...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Problems Connecting 2 New Macs to a Windows Workgroup

    We have a Windows workgroup in our orphanage that has been working fine. The Windows XP computers use the IPs of 192.168.0.1 (the gateway computer that connects to the Internet), 192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.20, 192.168.0.80, 192.168.0.90 and 192.168.0.100
    I have (attempted to) assign the IP addresses of 192.168.0.30 and 192.168.0.40 to the two new Macs I am wishing to add to our system. Eventually I want to go all Mac.
    I am using the DNS of 202.102.224.68 and 202.102.227.68 on the workgroup.
    All of the windows boxes except one are standard network with LAN cables. One is wireless. There are three wireless access points in the system and I am attempting to set up both Macs using Airport.
    Prior to hooking up the two new Macs I have two Sony Viao Laptops that are able to connect to the network via any of the three wireless access points. All the computers and the laptops can connect to the Internet via the gateway computer at 192.168.0.1. File sharing works fine. Printer sharing works fine with any of the three printers we have in our workgroup. Remote access works fine also.
    Now that I have included the two new Macs they can see each other but not the other computers in the workgroup. The PCs cannot see each other now... and.... the two Macs can connect to the internet via the Win XP gateway at 192.168.0.1 even though it does not show up in Finder.
    I am terribly confused and I have tried to read every post in this thread but none seem to help.
    I downloaded and installed "Workgroup Manager" but the first thing that happens when I attempt to run it is it asks me for "Address", "User Name" and "Password" in the connect window titled "Workgroup Manager Connect"
    Of course I know my user name and password but I have no idea what it is looking for in the "Address" box.
    I would sure like some help if anyone has the time.
    What I want to achieve is simply add the two new Macs to the workgroup so all computers can have file sharing, remote access, Internet access and printer sharing.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Is there an Airport utility to connect to specific wireless access points?

    (Trying the server forum... not getting any bites in the Airport or Tiger areas). It appears that the factory airport cards found in iBooks & PowerBooks do not always connect to the strongest wireless signal in a network with a mixture of Airport Extreme, Airport Graphite and Cisco Aironets. Is there a utility for Panther & Tiger that will allow a user to pick the access point he/she wants to use instead of allowing the card to automatically select? Windows XP shows you all the access points and allows you to select the strongest signal. Here's an example of the problem: an employee with a new PowerBook is sitting 10 feet away from a new Cisco Aironet 802.11 b/g access point, but his PowerBook insists upon using the much weaker signal from an Airport Exteme 802.11 b/g access point from the floor below him. This is one wireless network emitting the same SSID and encryption. What gives?
    Thanks in advance!

    hmm well i beleaved that a mac wireless card automatically picked the strongest signal,
    but can i ask are they both running at G or B all the time, maybe the stronger signal is only available at B so the powerbook picks up the signal from the weeker access point thats available at G.
    I thought that the speed, B or G is dependant on what card connects, that if a B card connects to an access point then the whole access point is lower to B speed, maybe this is so, im not sure, so maybe its not only signal strength but speed as well that determines what access point to join.

  • Problem with creating an Infrastructure Network (via Access Point) for WLS 9163.

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect the WLS 9163 to an Infrastructure Network (via an Access Point). I have connected it via an Ethernet cable and am using MAX to configure it.
    The setting are as below:
    Obtain IP Address through: DHCP
    Country: US
    Radio On: Yes
    SSID: wireless (selected from drop down implying the wireless network is detected)
    Wireless Mode: Infrastructure
    Authentication: Open
    After doing these settings, I click on Save Settings. The device reboots itself and takes the IP address, Subnet mask and default Gateway automatically. The WLS link LED on the device is also turned on. The System State is 'Connected' and both the Wired and Wireless Connection Status is shown as 'UP'.
    So far so good.
    Now if I remove the wired connection and refresh the device, it does not get connected via wireless (which I believe it ideally should). The System State is shown as Disconnected. 
    I am using a Phoenix Contact WAP and have set the authentication as Open. 
    Please suggest some solution.  

    I had this exact same problem and it took me a while to figure out. As strange as this sounds, I figured out that for some reason if I had the WLS-9163 too close to the router and I pulled the wired connection, the wireless connection could drop. I read on a post in a different forum about someone removing their antenna and it working just fine so I tried that and it worked off and on but mostly off. So I figured out that the further distance away I was the better the connection stability was and I got far enough away from the router to where it was a steady solid wireless connection. This sounds really backwards from what it should be and was really bizarre but I tried different routers, used all different types of settings, had the latest firmware and had all of the equipment sitting on my desk and could not get it working once I removed the wired connection. This may not solve your problem but this worked for me so I thought I'd share that info. I was just so shocked to figure out being too close to the router seemed to be screwing my stuff up.

  • E3000 as an access point with an E3200 as the primary router not showing all connected devices

    I recently rewired my home with cat 6. All network and telephone comes in to the basement. While most devices in the home were converted to LAN connections a few remain WiFi connected.  The connections are as follows:
    Cable modem -> E3200 ->High Speed Switch <--> E3000.
    I purchased the E3200 to be the primary router. I'm using both 5.0 and 2.4 ghz connections. I set up my (existing) E3000 as an access point (AP) according to these instructions. I used the LAN-LAN setup so that all devices would be on the same network. Both E3200 and E3000 are at the latest firmware level. Both use the  same SSIDs, one each for 5ghz connection and a second for 2.4 ghz connection. Almost everything is working but there are a few nagging issues.
    1) A smart  phone connected wirelessly to the AP shows as a LAN connection when viewing the E3200 DHCP client list
    2) I set up a DHCP reservation for my network attached printer on the E3200.  When it connects via the AP it is not assigned the predefined IP address
    3) I can see the network attached printer on the E3000 MAC filter list but I can't see it when viewing DHCP clients or MAC wireless clients from the E3200 even though the printer is attached and working correctly.
    I can understand the reasons for issue 1 but it seems that a client attached to a wireless AP should also show as wireless to the main router.

    Well, let me know what IP addressess you have assigned to the network devices? Second if you remove the switch from the network (between E3200 and E3000) does the issue still persist... Once powercycle the whole network and then check whether it happens or not.

  • Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

    One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
    Until today that is.
    I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
    What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!
    MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006

    Maybe this could help as well:
    After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
    So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?

  • Cannot connect to the internet from my MAC on WRT160Nv2 - no problems connecting from my PC

    Hi,
    I have just bought a WRT160Nv2, but I am having problems connecting to the internet from my MAC (a powerbook with OS X) when I connect to the router wirelessly. If I try from my PC the Internet works fine. Also if I connect the MAC directly to the routers LAN port, the Internet works.
    When I connect wirelessly from the MAC I do get an IP adress, and I am able to access the routers web configuration page. I can also see that the correct DNS gets assigned, so I am low on suggestions to what could be the problem.
    Currently I have the router set up to WPA2 encryption, but I have tried different settings, e.g. no security at all with the same result.
    I just tried upgrading to the newest firmware (WRT160Nv2_v2.0.02_008), also with no luck.
    Also I should mention that the MAC can connect to other wireless connections without problems, e.g. my previous ZyXel DSL router. 
    Any ideas to what could be the problem?
    Thanks,
    Rasmus

    Well maybe WPA2 Security is not compatible with Mac so change the Security mode to WEP or WPA and prepare security key of 10 digit password and while connecting to the wireless network on Mac type a $ sign first followed by the 10 digit passoword and it should work.

  • Problems connecting to internet via bluetooth from...

    I am trying to connect to the internet from my Mac PowerBook using my Nokia 5300. The phone pairs nicely and sets up but when I press "Join network on Nokai 5300" which should connect me to the Internet, the computer connects briefly to the phone after which it disconnects and a message saying : Bluetooth network failed. Your device unexpectedly disconnected. Make sure it is turned on and in range." appears. I have tried the same thing with other 5300 phones and this process worked nicely. What could be the problem? Something in settings or maybe something is wrong with my phone?

    As I understand it, if you have MacOS X 10.4.9 or later, it just works! It is a Mac after all.
    You need to make sure that the phone itself is connected to the appropriate mobile internet account. On my Australian 3 mobile that profile is called "Mobile Internet". Your network provider should be able to help with this. Once that is set you should be able to browse anywhere on the internet with the phone.
    Then just pair the phone with the Mac in the usual Bluetooth way. Use bluetooth preferences to check the services available in the phone. You need to see, "PAN Network Access Point" in the list. Your Bluetooth menu bar menu should now contain "Join Network on NameOfYourPhone" Select that and you are connected.
    If you check System Preferences -> Network you will see that a new ethernet port has appeared which unfortunately has nothing to show that it belongs to the phone. There will also be a dial up port with the name of the phone.
    SNAFUs when I first set this up it dropped out after a few seconds. Like all things computer, a restart on the Mac and turning Bluetooth on the phone on and off a few times solved the problem.
    A PAN network access point is like a WiFi access point except it uses Bluetooth and it is simpler.

  • Problem Connecting iBook to Internet via Airport

    I just bought a used 14" G3 iBook 700MHz w/ Airport card and can't get it to connect to the internet via my home wireless network. The home network has no problems connecting w/ our MacBook, 12" PowerBook and 13" G3 iBook via Airport. My wireless router is a D-Link DI-624M. The new (used) iBook had no problems connecting to the wireless network at our nearby Apple Store and connects to the internet correctly when I plug the ethernet cable directly out of the cable modem into the computer. The iBook apparently has no problem connecting to the wireless network in our house (full signal shown in the menu bar and, when doing the Network Diagnostic process, it shows that the Airport connection is good). But I keep getting the error message in Safari: "You are not connected to the internet." Any suggestions?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions
    Does it have this problem at exactly the same time your other computers are connected?
    The only time I get that message is when our ISP is having problems or the modem needs to be reset.
    Apple's tips for connecting wirelessly can be found here:

    Good luck.

  • Problem with PowerBook (but NOT MacBook) and two access points on network

    I recently installed a wall-plugged ethernet adapter system (Netgear XE104 and XE103) and plugged a wireless access point (Netgear WPN802) into one of the adapters (in the part of our house where we lacked a wireless signal) in order to extend the range of our (DSL) wireless network. I configured this new access point--disabled DHCP, assigned an IP address to the access point that does not fall into the wireless router's IP adress range, put the wireless router and access point on different channels (6 and 11), and made sure the router and access point had the same SSID.
    I have had no problems using the resulting setup with our new MacBook--everything goes as planned. BUT I am having a terrible time with my PowerBook G4. It has a really strong signal everywhere, but when I open my browser it says that I am not connected to the internet. The problem seems to be that my PowerBook refuses to change channels once it connects to one. I installed iStumbler to see if I could manually control which access point/channel the PowerBook uses, and, while I can track the signal strengths for both access points, I can't get my PowerBook to switch from one access point to the other.
    I've tried just about everything I can think of. I suppose I could try giving a different SSID to the access point (and then try to switch with the airport menu in the toolbar), but I would like to avoid this if possible.
    I would really appreciate any advice you have. Thank you!

    Can you connect if you temporarily turn off WEP or WPA?
    This will determine if it is a WEP or WPA issue.
    Does your PC support WPA, from both a hardware and a software perspective?
    The problem you are having probably lies with the encryption key.
