Really annoying Internet Connection problem, please help!!!

At first my macbook ran perfectly, but about a month ago i started running into this problem. Everytime i boot my computer up at home it acts like im connected (bars...it even checks my email using gmail notifier which is running)...then after about 20 seconds or upon opening a browser it boots me off.
-if i use the pulldown menu to get my network it fails to connect, if i hit reconnect after that it fails to connect and i have to restart in order for it to work.
-the only way i can get it to work is from the pulldown go to "open internet connect" then from that pulldown select my network.
does anyone know what the problem is here? it is terribly annoying to to be able to just boot up and surf.
another, not terribly important question as i dont use windows much...if im using the mac side, then reboot onto windows my internet dies after about 2 minutes every time. If i just boot up windows without having been in mac first it doesn't do this. (and the only fix is to unplug and then plug back in the router).
thanks for any help,
Jeremy

I am seeing a similar problem at home.
We have two existing PowerBooks and an iMac G5 which all connect to my Airport Extreme basestation with no problems.
We just got a MacBook Pro which is having a lot of trouble staying on the airport wifi network. It keeps dropping off and when I attempt to reconnect, it gets an error doing that and offers to retry. The retry always fails.
This seems to happen if the MacBook is idle for a time and comes back up. I am running the airport environment as pure 802.11G only with WPA encryption. This feels like it is an issue with the wireless card in the MacBook Pro as our other machines in the exact same area do not have the problem.

    My husband's iphone can't connect to the app store after updated his phone to ios.7. and has internet connection.

    Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S.

  • Network connection problems, please help!

    I have had an iPod Touch (4th generation) for over a year now and it worked fine. Today, something went wrong with my network connection. One moment it says that I'm connected to a network, and a few seconds later it says I'm not connected... Then a few seconds later it's connected again. I have full wifi bars, and it does it throughout my whole house. The wifi symbol keeps going on and off. I tried turning my Verizon Westell Model 6100G Modem off and back on because this normally fixes my wifi connection problems. This didn't work. Then I tried turning my iPod off and back on. This didn't work. I tried turning the wifi off and back on. This didn't work. I tried forgetting my network and signing back in. This didn't work. I also tried resetting the network, and this didn't work either. I'm not having any connection problems with my laptop, it's working fine. It's only my iPod. I'm still able to use the wifi, but for a split second, it will not work. I'm not sure what else to do. It's very annoying! I'm going to see if it does this at other peoples houses with their wifi. Can any one tell me what's wrong and how I should fix it? My only theory is a broken antenna...Please help! Thanks!

    I have two things you could try.
    1. Plug your iPod into the host computer that which the network is based around because sometimes the network has trouble identifying a device if it has been a while since you plugged it into the computer.
    2. Find some way to get your network information (IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS numbers) from another device on the network (e.g. laptop). Then go to Settings > Wi-FI and find your router and tap the blue arrow to the right of the name and tap the tab that says "Static" and enter this information accordingly. Then exit back to the network names menu and re-enter your passcode for your network (assuming you have a passcode)

  • Annoying Internet Connect problem

    I connect using ADSL via an external modem, though every few minutes I have an Internet Connect window pop up telling me that it is trying to connect via ethernet. It seems there is no preference to stop this from happening, and also I am unable to erase the user name and password from this area. Could anyone tell me how to make it stop as it it becoming very annoying?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi and welcome to Discussions!
    If you go to System preferences>Network, Show 'Network Port Configurations', you should see a list of different connections. Untick any that you don't want to use and drag your default connection to the top. And/or in the location box click edit locations. You then get a box up with, probably, more than one listed. Select the one(s) you don't use and click delete.
    Good luck!

  • Internet Connection Drops PLEASE HELP!!

    Installed Bootcamp in XP Pro, found that the internet connection drops all the time, need to manually unplug the modem and the airport to reconnect. I'm using a wired connection, not wireless.
    thanks
    any help is greatly appreciated

    yes i have done that.
    In OS X, the wireless connection works, but the wired connection doesn't. In WIN XP , both don't work even though it says its connected. If i reset the router (Airport Extreme), I can get the wired connection to work for a short while, then it stops working and if there are any other computers plugged into the router, they wouldn't work either. I will have to unplug all the connections and reset the router to make it work again. However, if i don't plug the iMac into the router, and use my other computer (like i am now) then its fine.
    so in brief,
    - if i use iMac with bootcamp, internet doesn't work
    - if i use iMac with or without bootcamp with another computer plugged into router, both won't work
    - if iMac is not plugged into router, and use another computer instead, internet works

  • Really Strange Internet COnnectivity Problem

    I have a wireless-G 2.4Ghz Broadband Router (Model No. WRT54G) with three computers (all wireless) and two printers (both wired) hooked up to it, but right now only one computer is able to recieve any internet connectivity whatsoever.
    I've tried repairing the connection, turning off both the modem and the router and leaving them off for 15 minutes, and still I have had no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    one way to check if you have internet connection is to go to the command prompt and type in >ping yahoo.com if you get 4 replies, then you have the connection. open your internet explorer and click on tools. on the general tab, click delete files and delete also cookies. try to use default security and make sure on the connections tab, the "never dial a connection" radio button is selected. click on the LAN connections sub-tab and uncheck all the boxes in there. try to open a website now using your internet explorer.

  • Touch connectivity problems - please help!!!

    Hi.
    I've got an 1st gen 8Gb Touch that has been fine for ages until now !
    Safari can't open a web page - I get the message "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server". Also Mail, YouTube, Weather and Stocks don't update.
    It is showing I'm connected to my WiFi network and all the other computers in my house can connect to the internet without any problem. I haven't changed anything on mt router or Touch from yesterday when everything was working fine
    I've just tried restoring the Touch through iTunes but this hasn't solved the problem I'm afraid
    Thanks for any help
    Mark.

    Have you tried resetting your network settings?
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Even though you just restored the iPod, try this step if you restored it from your backup vs. setting it up as a new iPod.
    If that doesn't help, try powercycling your router. Just turn it off for about 10 seconds, turn it back on, check your Wi Fi settings to make sure you're connected, and then try Safari/other apps again.

  • Windows XP Internet Connection Issue Please Help.

    Hi,
    I recently had my iMac serviced for repairs, and now I can no longer connect to the internet.
    Under my device manager there is one PCI device listed as unknown.
    I'm wondering if when I had a new logic board installed that they replaced my network adapter or something.
    I don't know where to go to download drivers or what drivers I need.
    Anyone experienced enough with this to help me?

    From your signature I see that you are using Tiger. Therefore I am assuming that you are using Boot Camp while it was on its beta stage. If you still have the drivers disk that you made during installation then insert that in the disk drive while booted in XP. This should re-install all the drivers and detect that unknown device in device manager. Its worth a try.

  • Oracle connection problem - please help

    Hi.
    On my Win2k machine I first installed Oracle Developer 6.0 in C:\ORANT.
    After that I also installed Oracle in C:\ORACLE.
    I always used sqlplus C:\ORACLE\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE till now. Now I have to
    use Forms builder to complete my homework. The problem is that I can't
    connect to my Oracle database with Forms builder.
    I try to solve my problem by comparing runs of C:\ORACLE\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE
    with C:\ORANT\BIN\SQLPLUS.EXE (from developer tools). So I execute:
    - sqlplus my_user/my_pass@testconn
    in each directory. In the C:\ORACLE\BIN (using sqlplus that come with
    Oracle database) all works fine, while in C:\ORANT\BIN (using sqlplus
    that come with development tools) I get an error:
    - ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
    I try to fix the problem by editing copying connection data from
    C:\ORACLE\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora to
    C:\ORANT\NET80\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora, but this didn't help.
    Can someone help me?
    My tnsnames.ora:

    Hi Damir,
    Basically, it's possible the NLS_LANG parameter for your
    database install is invalid or isn't a available default
    value. This is a known problem.
    I didn't any specific about one connection route working
    and the other not, as in your case. However, I did find
    some information on this problem when connecting through
    Developer to a DB install.
    The quick fix is to ensure your client initialisation
    files have the 'NLS_LANGUAGE' parameter commented out.
    If the client doesn't have an "NLS_LANGUAGE" parameter
    entry the client and server use the language parameter
    indicated by the server.
    If that doesn't work (or you want to keep this parameter)
    check the NLS_LANG parameter in the DB using your working
    SQL*Plus connection. Try a default value like:
    AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII
    Also, you can try this:
    SELECT * FROM sys.v$nls_valid_values;
    Whatever you set for NLS_LANG should exist in the values
    returned for this query, otherwise you'll get the error.
    Unfortunately, resolving NLS_LANG issues is not always
    this easy. If commenting out or changing the parameters
    above still doesn't fix the problem, it is possible you need to reinstall the DB and choose the default language option. How you do this depends on the installer options
    for DB version you are using.
    One last point - I suggest you post your query to the
    Forms & Reports forums here on OTN too. This forum is
    ideally for Designer, rather than Developer questions.
    Hope all this helps.

    Hi, I finally solved this problem, the JDNI entry value is not configured properly for the session bean that's built for the service end point.
    Changed JNDI value, and use that value in the service locator to look up the session bean home, it worked.

  • Database Connection problem please help

    Hi,
    I have a servlet that basically connects to the database if the userid and password is correct.
    I have a "login.html" page where the user enters the "userid" and "password".The servlet does the checking and grants access to the user.
    My question is as follows.As soon as I startup tomcat type in the url login.html,then press the submit button,(both the fields are blank) the servlet says "ok" this is this information is present in the database.It should say "not ok".Hope I question is clear.The code for the servlet is given below.
    package package1.structure;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.sql.*;

    Regarding the database.The fields in the database are "username" and "password" and it has one tuple
    "xyz" and "xyz"
    Hope that my question is rightly put.
    Thanking you
    AS

    Actually, I think the servlet is doing the right thing
    by printing "ok". A quick glance at your code tells
    me that username and password are both members of your
    servlet class and initialized to "". Neither is null,
    and both are blank.
    If your HTML page sends user and pass as blank
    strings, you'll do a database query for those values.
    If they don't appear in the database, your ResultSet
    will have no rows and the username and password data
    members will not be updated.
    When you get to your if test, neither username nor
    password is null and both are equal to the values
    passed in from the HTML. Hence the "ok".
    If you initialize your username and password members
    to null this might still work.
    Be sure to set them back to null when you finish the
    test.
    If you take all that JDBC code out of the servlet and
    isolate it into its own class, you can test it out by
    feeding it valid and invalid username and password
    combinations. Once you've got that working perfectly,
    you can just have the servlet instantiate your
    database object and call its methods. If you have any
    problems after that point, you know they're due to the
    servlet and not the database interactions.
    Right now the database and servlet are confounded.
    Separate them out and you might make faster progress.
    - MODHello,
    Thanks for the reply.Will consider your points for a proper coding.Will keep posting.

  • Firewall + Oracle connection problem, please help!

    We've written a Java application (GUI) that resides on end user desktop. The tool uses a type 4 driver to connect to Oracle that is nested inside a firewall. The connection fails when trying to login to Oracle from the clients' computers that are not in our network; error says "Invalid protocol error!". Please advise...
    Note- there are no connectivity issues with the tool when running inside the network.
    Thanks,

    You need to open up the firewall for the selected port and probably the TCP/IP protocol on that port.

  • ITunes connection problem, please help

    Dear Apple-forum members,
    Yesterday I tried to sync my iPhone 4 with iTunes (Windows 7 64-bit). When it was at step 3, Windows gave me the message that iTunes did not respond, and shuts it down. While this happened, my iPhone was still in the sync mode but didn't do anything, so I cancelled it.
    When I tried to sync again, I got error 0xe8000065. After a restart, iTunes doesn't even know that the iPhones was connected, although my phone WAS showed inside 'My Computer' (so my computer DOES recognise my iPhone).
    I deleted the adapter, and reinstalled it again. Same issue. 
    I connected my iPhone with another computer, and reconnected it with my own computer. Now I get another error 0xe8000001.
    I deleted and reinstalled iTunes, set iTunes as 'administrator', but also the same issue.
    Anyone having the same problem. 
    How can I solve this?
    I use:
    Latest iTunes version 64-bits
    Windows 7 64-bits
    iPhone 4 iOS 4.3 (not jailbreaked)

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect it to your new computer and restore it via iTunes. Note that you will lose all content on the iPod. You can redownload apps at no additional cost provided you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
