Re-connect to internet-long delay

I have a wired connection via a router.
If I turn off my iMac, modem & router for a few hours or more, I have trouble getting online once again. It usually takes about 15 minutes. This never happens with PCs running Windows. What am I doing wrong?
Is there a setting or default I need to adjust?
When the iMac boots up I click System Preferences/Network and instead of seeing the usual “Built-in Ethernet Connected” with a green radio button and my IP address displayed, I see all red radio buttons & it has the gray highlight on “External Modem, Not connected.” After a few minutes of nothing happening, I usually click advanced. Then I click “Renew DHCP Lease.” This does nothing. Next, I remember to click “Assist Me.” Then “diagnostics.” I forget exactly what I click on then. I cannot recreate it as I am connected now. I select the Ethernet connection & try to get it to reestablish a connection. Sometimes I get some message about the network changing . Eventually, it finds the network & all is well. I wonder if I had done absolutely nothing but wait 15 minutes if it would resolve. So my main questions are; Do I really need to wait 15 minutes to get back online after the modem, router & computer are all on? If not, what exact procedure an I supposed to follow? What setting do I change so I can be back online is seconds not 15 minutes?
Thanks!

I needed to “Set Service Order” in System Preferences.
Mac uses a sequence of Network Connections as it tries to get online. Mac OS X can maintain MULTIPLE SIMULTANEOUS network connections. (Multihoming)
To set the order:
System Preferences/Network/go to the lower left (sprocket icon) pop up menu -it is just to the right of the + & - signs.
Select “Set service order”
Then you slide the various connections types until you obtain the order you desire. (For me I only have Built in Ethernet so, I made that the top/1st choice.) Click OK.
Now my iMac doesn't waste a bunch of time attempting to connect via methods that are not set up.
Problem solved.

Wifi Connected, but very long delays upon opening the internet.

I have a mbp, from mid-2010 running mountain lion. About one month ago, I noticed that while I was still connected to my home wifi network, my internet access either became severely delayed or not working at all. Most commonly, I'll open Safari and it sits there for about 5 minutes before opening my page, or times out. It will then work for a bit, but it seems that if I leave it alone for awhile, I have to go throught that whole process again. I have 2 other macs, 2 iphones, ipods, 3 ipads and a pc which all do not do this... they work fine.
I've found a few other threads about something similar, but non seemed to have found solutions. I even went as far as to format/restore the hd on my mbp, and start over again with a fresh copy of mountain lion, but surprisingly this made no change.
This then lead me to believe there was something screwy happening between my router and mbp, so I switched it out to a backup router I had... no change here either. I restored both routers to factory defaults as well, but nothing.
And finally, I am able to connect to other wifi networks (friends', iphone hotspot) and browse the internet without issue.
Any thoughts??? I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting this stuff, but this is making no sense to me :/
Thanks!

Click on the WIFI icon on your toolbar. Select Open Network Preferences. On the next screen make sure your location at the top is set to Automatic. Select WIFI on the left and click Adanced at the bottom. On the next screen make sure there's a checkmark under Remember network this computer has joined. Then select your home network and remove it. Hit OK on all those screens to confirm your changes. Then go to Finder and hit Go/Utilities and run the Keychain app. In there search for your WIFI network name you have at home and delete the entry for it. Confirm it's deleted by "X" out of the search field and typing the name in there again. If it doesn't find it anymore, you're good to go. Reboot the laptop via the Apple menu icon and Restart. When it comes back up, reconnect to your WIFI by clicking on the WIFI icon on your toolbar and selecting the name of your WIFI network from the list. Enter your password for it (you will be asked for it since you deleted the keychain entry for it). See if this resolves your issues.

Long delay before connecting to internet

When i try inserting the ethernet cable to get internet, the internet works only after about 2-5 mins or so. When i boot windows, win 7 is immediately able to surf the internet once i put my ethernet wire in. ethernet wire is connected to the router. Is this long delay a normal thing?

On the Mac go to System Preferences->Network pane and at the top of the pane use the "Location" drop=down to make a new custom Location (calling it whatever you want). Then in the right hand of the pane hit the 'Apply button.
Something that you have done has messed up you Network settings on the network. making this new Location will let you start fresh on the network again.

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox

Firefox no longer connects to internet on my mac, and windows machines, after v18. I've tried several solutions from Mozilla support and nothing works. Firefox can't even connect to Mozilla for updates. Firefox just sits on the default search page and attempts to connect to websites by typing URLs, or by clicking on the links on the default search page don't work.

You could try the following:
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

Resetting Time Capsule - network is OK, but no longer connects to internet

I've set up my TC in the past and it's worked fine, but periodic printer or router updates have caused problems and I think I need to completely reset it.
My setup is an ISP-suppled Orange Livebox Mini router connecting to the internet, an iMac plugged in by ethernet (connects to internet OK) and my TC connected to this router by ethernet. My MacBook Pro then connects wirelessly to the TC network. This setup means I don't need to have two wireless networks, I can disable the Livebox router's wireless network and use only the Time Capsule wireless. However, that's not working. I can create a wireless network with my MacBook Pro but the TC is unable to get an internet connection despite being connected by ethernet to the router. I think I need a total reset but even when I do a manual reset by sticking a pin in the tiny button on the back of the TC, when Airport Utility finds the TC to recreate a wireless network, I find the old settings. I feel this is, or should be, simple stuff as I managed to set it up before, but this time it's just not happening. For a long time I thought this was just a problem with wireless settings on my Lexmark printer and waited for the Apple/Lexmark updates to come through, but now I think my TC settings need to be flushed out. One thing that looks odd to me is the IP address on the TC. It's 169.xxx.xxx.xxx, I thought it should be nearer the range specified by the Livebox router, something more like 192.168.x.x
thanks.

Oh joy and happiness, I solved it myself, and I owe it to the community to give some details for the benefit of anyone with the same problem searching on terms like Orange Livebox Mini.
I solved it by racking my brains till inspiration came - that it was a very very well hidden setting on the router itself that was the problem, nothing to do with Time Capsule. I had called Orange to fix this before, but had forgotten that this little setting needs changing from its default every time you reset the router.
When you have to reset your Orange Livebox router, they more than likely won't ask about your entire setup, they will get one of your computers working by connecting it by ethernet to the primary ethernet port, numbered '1' on the back and with a red stripe next to it. But there are two, number 2 has a yellow coloured stripe and if your main computer, in my case the (desktop) iMac right next to the router goes into ethernet port 1, you will want to connect your Time Capsule into the second, yellow ethernet port. However, that port is not set to work automatically for anything to connect to, it's set up for digital tv. You need to go into your Orange admin page for the router, found by going to 192.168.1.1 on your browser and logging in (remember 'admin' is the magic and default password to get you in. If you have to do a manual reset because you changed and forgot your password, the magic word gets you back in). Once logged in, select 'services' in the menu on the left, then 'digital tv' and then select the 'disable' button. I know, you'd never have found it and never have guessed that's what you need to do to open up the second ethernet, but you now have two ethernet ports into the router and your TC goes into the second work.
Also wanted to say that my TC has actually been flawless in its performance. Not always easy for simpletons like me to set up, but the hardware has always worked. Printer updates and, I think, Apple OS updates remain a problem as they can throw the printer off, but I must remember to keep my nerve - TC is basically right on, it's just the various different ways to get at it - Network Diagnostics, Airport Utility that confuse me.

Problem With Listener Service: Long Delay Starting Listener, Intermittent Connections

I am having trouble connecting to my Oracle database. I'm not sure what the cause was, but now when I connect to a database that has been working fine for the past two years, I usually get a ORA-12541 error.
I run lsnrctl status on the server and get a prinout like this:
Copyright (c) 1991, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Connecting to (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=dqaswn02)(PORT=1521)))

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00511: No listener
   64-bit Windows Error: 2: No such file or directory
I've also tried manually stopping the service via services.msc and then restarting via lsnrctl start, but when I do this I get a really long delay (10+ minutes) before it returns with something like:
TNS-01153: Failed to process string: 0í≈♥
I'm pretty lost as to what is wrong. I've been messing around with listener.ora, but I don't see anything problematic in there. Here's a copy:

TRACE_FILE_LISTENER = LISTENER
However, a few times during this I've been able to connect to the server, via sqlplus, but it has taken 10 minutes before the connection comes online. Once I'm connected, I can query my tables as expected, but I need an application to connect.
If anyone has any ideas on what could be wrong, please let me know.

When I opened up netca, I didn't have any listeners configured, which seems very strange. When adding it, I get this message in the cmd window:

I killed the service via services.msc again and tried starting the lsnrctl. This time I've got a new listening service going:

1. Try reinstall iLIfe 09 from your install disk
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
If that fails, then you're reinstalling the OS.

Boot Camp Windows 7 No Longer Connects to Internet

Hello, I have a mid 2011 iMac with Boot Camp Windows 7 installation. It has run flawlessly for more than a year. Recently however, I have been untable to connect to internet when running Windows. The connection works fine as a Mac. While in Windows, I can momentarily (about 10 seconds) connect by disconnecting and reconnecting the LAN cable. Then the "no internet." I have all the latest Boot Camp support software installed. All MAC and Windows software updates are installed. My network devices are configured correctly. I have rolled back to previous Windows updates with no resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions?

your router, your Windows firewall, you are using something other than Windows Defender (8) or Essentials (7), something else on the cable.
you had a storm and the modem is on life support and your ISP can login and see what errors the modem is showing, you don't have network surge protection (APC tend to interfere, Cyberpower tend to work).
What else is on the LAN?
I found Windows to be funny about network but 8 and 8.1 have never had trouble. With 7 I sometimes had to reboot.
Besides Apple and Windows, some drivers are or often still needed - manually.

IPod no longer detect the router and can't connect to internet

Hey guys, i'm new in the community and thought that you may can help me with a lil' problem.
I bought my iPod one month ago and at first successfully connected to internet, then download the iOS 4.3 and continued working well for a few days 'till it just stop connecting to the web. I searched everywhere and found some things that helped but not solved my problem.
I have all my network data, the IP, Subnet Mask and DNS, the only one that does NOT work is the Router. I even tried putting the numbers myself by Static, but it didn't work.
Can somebody help me or tell me what da **** is goin' on?
By the way, my Internet service is Prodigy Infinitum ('cause i'm Mexican).
Thanks(:

Try:
- Resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Powering off and then back on your router
- On the iPod reset netwokr settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Safari 4.0.2 so slow that says you are not connected to internet, & no JAVA

1)with the new version of safari 4.0.2, and the "loading" imageit is very slow, so slow that then I press any link it says you are not connected to internet. , then I reload again and it loads for the first time the page after a long time.
this happens so often.
... but guess what, I open the connection using another browser and I can see the same pages without problem.
this version is so low, even when I press to any link... why the loading of pages like apple.com takes too long?
2)now with this version I can not see applications that runs on java. before it i could , but now it does not display , and the sun page says that for mac one has to check the apple updates, but there is no apple updates until now to complement the java problem.

This could ( no, will happen if your dsl modem/router is set to give up it's connection when the mac is idle.
Many dsl modems ( in the UK, at least ) do NOT default to 'always on'.... & a setting must be changed to enable this. Even with 'always on', you will get a similar problem occasionally, but the delay will be just a few seconds.... not 30+.
Some modems can be accessed by entering 192.168.1.1 into safari - check the instructions for yours.
Also some(!) isp's don't allow always on & force a disconnection when idle. Mine does - but you can opt-out of it via their website.
I bet if you mention the make/model of your dsl gear, somebody here can tell you exactly where to find these settings.

Long delay in screen sharing

Has anyone else experienced very long delays in screen
sharing? My actions are taking at least 30 seconds to be shown to
participants and the connection to the Connect server regularly
breaks. It's made it impossible to give any presentations and has
been quicker to email screenshots through to people during a live
presentation!
My Internet connection is fine with several speed test
websites showing at least 2.5Mbps dl and 384Kbps ul. Latency is
<1ms according to Connect. The local preview of the screenshare
is running about 10-15 seconds behind.
Thanks,
Gary.

Thanks Jorma. I've even gone down to 800x600 and it doesn't
make any difference at all. After trying for 2 weeks to get Adobe
to respond to a support call I made, someone from Adobe India tried
to help but they don't have access to the Adobe servers so weren't
able to run any diagnostic at the head end. So I'm stuck with a
white elephant after paying Adobe up front for a whole year. They
should at least offer me a refund.
