Router network is   DHCP but airport keeps insisting I have to find a PPPoE

Used to have internet svc on Macbook then it started dropping and now we can't connect. Airport sees my network but won't let me access. Changed to DHCP but Airport continues to look for a PPPoE To OK changes, I need an administrator name and password which the macbook is not accepting. Aaargh

Hello maralyn J. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is your current Internet service DSL? If so, does your ISP require PPPoE (username/password) for establishing a connection to their service? What is the make/model of your DSL/Cable modem? Finally, what is your current network configuration with the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? That is, does it look something like the following?
DSL/Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > (WAN port) AEBSn > (wireless) > MacBook

  • Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except join not extend and I can not get a network on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Rout/

    Extend Wireless Network using a Telstra technicolor Gateway wireless Router to Airpot extreme but Airport will only except "join a wireless network (which it does) not "extend a wireless network" (Led turns yellow and I can not get a network working on the Airpor Extreme ethernet ports but can ping Airport extreme from Technicolor Router.
    Airport gets it address DHCP.

    Funny how I can ping the Extreme but the Hard Ethernet ports dont seem to work correctly.
    When the AirPort Extreme is configured to "Join" a wireless network, the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    Oddly, the AirPort Express has a special feature that will allow it to to "Join" virtually any wireless network.....and the Ethernet port can be enabled. So, an Express would work for your purpose to provide an Ethernet connection to the media player. This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from your main router.
    Note that the Express will not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "Joins".

  • The password for wireless network was changed.  Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

    The password for wireless network was changed.  Airport keeps trying to sign in automatically with old password and won't let me put in new password. Any ideas?

    You really should change both the wireless network name and password to avoid potential conflicts with the old and new settings.
    Suggest you give that a try.

  • How do I enter my existing 26 character wep network key on my airport express. I have tried using a preceding $ to no avail

    How do I enter my existing 26 character wep network key on my airport express. I have tried using a preceding $ to no avail

    The WEP standard provides support for either:
    A 10 hexidecimal digit or 5 ASCII character key for 40-bit WEP,  OR
    A 26 hexidecimal digit or 13 ASCII character key for 128-bit WEP
    In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AirPort Express will be hashed differently than on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
    In addition, the 802.11n AirPorts do NOT support either 40-bit or 128-bit WEP in the "n" Radio Mode. You will have to switch to one of the non-"n" modes to access these wireless security options.
    When operating in 802.11n, the only WEP option is the WEP (Transitional Network Security) mode. Note: This mode only supports using 13 ASCII character keys. This would be the reason that you are not able to enter a 26 hexidecimal digit key.

  • Im wanting to update my iphoto but it keeps saying i have to sign into my old apple id account?

    Im wanting to update my iphoto but it keeps saying i have to sign into my old apple id account?

    That's correct. The Apple ID associated with content from the iTunes Store and Mac App Store content is stored inside the files and can't be changed without deleting that content.

  • I am trying to download iTunes but it keeps saying I have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services. Any way to fix this?

    I am trying to download iTunes but it keeps saying I have to verify that I have sufficient privileges to start system services. I have downloaded iTunes without a problem before, and I'm the only user on my computer so I obviously have suffucient privileges.

    fhdNKS, how did you fix it?  I'm getting the same error message and can't figure it out.  I've seen this question several other times on this forum too.  Thanks! 

  • Network is ok, but I keep getting knocked off the internet

    I have a Linksys Wireless network router, and it has been woring fine for years. As of a few days ago, out of the blue, I started getting knocked off the internet. The network connection stays constant, four bars, but the internet connection fails. Sometimes if I disable and re-enable the airport a few times, it will re-connect, sometimes I have to shut the lid and open it again, and sometimes I have to restart to get it to re-connect. It then stays connected from ten minutes to an hour, and the internet fails again. I have rebooted, cleared my 'favorite networks', and reset the PRAM, but to no avail. I know it is not the router, because my other laptop on the network never gets disconnected from the internet, just my mac. Help?

    Yea, the other one is a PC. The static IP seems to have worked for now, Ill see how it works for the next few hours. Thanks.

  • Network works fine but Airport Utility can't see the Airport

    If someone knows of an earlier discussion on this I'd be grateful for a pointer. My Airport Extreme network has been working fine, syncing with Apple TV, accessing the Internet, etc, but The AirPort Utility can't find it! I discovered this when I had trouble printing and started up the Utility to see if there was something I could do to fix it. The utility can't find it but the network is working fine. However I do need to connect a printer to it.
    Any advise on what I can do?

    I know this may sound obvious and silly, but are you actually connected to your Airport wireless network and not a neighbouring network?
    I thought of that myself and there are at least four networks around my house (three unprotected!) but no, I am connected to the AirPort network!
    I'll try one other thing before I do a hard reset though. A week or two back I'd tried to connect an Airport Express manually by creating a WDS. Never got that to work and that may be a problem. I notice that if I do a soft reset the AirPort Extreme become visible in the Utility for a few minutes. I'll go th manual setup and see if I can't delete that WDS...

  • I'm trying to download a movie I've previously purchased but it keeps saying I have a network connection error when I don't. What do I do?

    I have no idea what to do and I keep trying it but it won't let me download it.

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • I work at an english university and I have set our Mac users to use network home folders, but Firefox keeps hanging when it is quit.

    Mac OSX 10.6.8 active directory network home folders

    Switched user back to the network home folder and adjusted the MS Word preferences so that the autorecovery files would be stored on the local client machine. There doesn't seem to be a comparable setting in the Excel preferences.
    My initial testing suggests that this has reduced how often this problem occurs, but has not eliminated it. I tested by repeatedly opening and closing a couple of different word files in rapid succession -- i was able to replicate the "file opens as read only" problem occasionally.
    I've talked to Apple server support about this issue. While they were helpful, they didn't have an explanation or solution for this problem. There are a number of postings in the microsoft mactopia discussion boards site where people report similar problems.

    Itunes does not accept my password anymore since upgrading phone. They give me my very old email address. I retrieved that account and changed password accordingly. Apple said it was changed correctly, but itunes will not accept it.Please help

    How old  it is  does not  matter IF  thats what Apple have as your  user ID and if  Apple have advised  you its OK and it is not... then you need to deal with support  where  ID information is causing problems.
