Router Timing Out?

Hello.
I posted a related query few weeks ago about my failure to open the vast majority of web pages.
I’m using a dual processor (Intel) iMac running OS 10.4.9 (updated with the latest combo update, and permissions verified and repaired) and accessing the internet via a Netgear DG632 Router connected through the Ethernet port. The firmware of the Router is updated to the latest version.
When I ran a software update check, it confirmed there were updates to install, but when I attempted to proceed, my connection timed out.
Network Diagnostics on the iMac confirm I am connected to the internet.
I can access the Router through my browser, check the settings, but despite it telling me I am connected, I cannot view the Netgear home page as confirmation that my connection is OK.
I can, however, view Google, perform searches, view Google Maps, view Google Earth - I even downloaded an updated version of Google Earth.
However, practically every other web page (www.bbc.co.uk, as one example) I attempt to view fails to load. The iMac doesn’t crash or freeze and I don’t get a warning telling me the page cannot be found. It simply can’t complete the opening procedure.
Presumably this is all a problem related to this 'timing out'? Yet the timeout value is set at 0 minutes in the Router settings.
Any ideas?

Hi ActionBaby,
I see from these Pics (Which are for AIM Talk only in this case) that this device has a WAN page that might be similar to the DG834
(The port Forward site this link goes to suggests that this device does not have UPnP and does not have enough spaces to open the required 29 ports for iChat, not that this is a particular issue in this thread)
However in the WAN page disable any SPI or DOS setting by ticking it as this may be blocking large amounts of data coming to you.
Sites like the BBC have lots of content that is more than just text and maybe this is an issue.
The site I have linked to may not be the most up-to-date version of the the Firmware and you may in fact have more port entries available or UPnP as a way around any issue this poses.

Server Timed Out, Router not detected

Ever since a heavy thunderstorm I have been unable to pick up wireless Internet on any of my wi-fi devices. I'm no longer able to access 192.168.1.1 through my Internet browser, when I tried to ping 192.168.1.1 it says Server Timed Out, and the LinkSys EasyLink Advisor program said my computer was unable to detect my router. Help?

Marcar,
its much easier for us to help if you give us a little detail. like the model & version of your device.
anyway, a thunderstorm aye?? ake sure that the router's power light is not blinking, if it is reset the router.
HOW TO RESET A ROUTER:
with router turned on, push on the little reset button on the back of the router (beside the wan/internet port). hold that button for about 30 seconds and then release and then turn the router off. leave it of for 20 seconds.
by then you can access the default IP of the router which is 192.168.1.1 (password: "admin").
BTW: before you reset the router make sure you know how to reconfigure it back again to work with the modem for your internet connection.

What to do when Verizon server on the route is almost always timing out?

Nine times out of ten, the server at the 3rd external hop after the packet leaves my router is timing out, and my surfing speed is not good. It's a Verizon server, juding by the IP address that appears in this slot on those occasions when it does not time out (130.81.xxx.xxx).
Is there a way to file a trouble ticket?

See my other message about timeouts in trace routes often being meaningless.

Error: Network Connection Timed Out

I am beyond ****** off at the moment. My iTunes was working perfectly until two weeks ago, and now it insists my Network Connection Timed Out when I try to access the store or update podcasts.
It can't be my internet connection, because as you can see, I'm able to access the internet. For some reason it's this specific copy of iTunes (7.5), because the iT7 downstairs works perfectly. Of course, since Apple are so fecking stingy, I can't add a few files from there without wiping everything off my iPod.
So here's the run-down:
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8600, Windows XP, browsing with Firefox and attempting to load the latest podcasts onto my iPod Shuffle. I don't give a toss about downloading songs, I just want to update my podcasts without having to search the net for the source file.
I ran the Network Diagnostics and it insists the Conneciton to iTunes failed, suggesting I adjust my cable (i don't have one - it's wireless) or flush my dns settings (which i've done several times).
I found a thread on these forums from March and tried every solution:
- uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... doesn't work.
- opening Internet Explorer 7, then opening iTunes... doesn't work.
- searching for a host file and removing the phobos apple line... doesn't work. The phobos line wasn't there
- using itunes 7... doesn't work.
- flushing my dns... doesn't work.
- turning off my firewall.... doesn't work.
- avoiding clashes with mcafee or zone alarm... doesn't work, cos i don't use those
I think it's appalling that I've tried all this, and i'm still no closer to knowing what the problem is, and that Apple failed to respond to any of the other people's problems in the earlier thread. And that i spent about ten minutes signing up to this fecking forum just to ask for help. Surely support should be readily available to anyone!
Can anybody help me? In the other thread, people found alternative sites for buying music, but has anyone got an alternative, ipod-compatible podcasting program?

I have this same problem. Here's what I can add to this discussion - iTunes accessed the iTunes store a day or two ago. I have a home network and can access the internet from all of the networked PCs. I can access the iTunes store from all of the networked PCs using Internet Explorer. I can access the iTunes store from my laptop iTunes. I can not access the iTunes store from my workstation PC. I get the same "network connection timed out" message. I downloaded and installed a new (same version) of iTunes on the workstation PC. both the laptop and the workstation are running the same OS (Windows XP SP2), both are Dell computers, both are accessing the internet via a wired connection to the same switch and the same router. All other internet connections work fine.
What's different? In the last couple of days my Workstation lost access to a network printer. I worked with HP for over an hour to re-establish network connection to that printer with no success. I have access to the same networked printer from my laptop.
The IP address for the network printer is identical to what it was when it was installed - HP suggests looking for a change to the IP address. I made no changes to the workstation PC, the home network or the router, ISP, or internet connection.
But, it seems to me that the loss of access to the HP networked printer and the inability of iTunes to access the iTunes store are related.
I also called Apple and attempted to get technical support. I own 4 iPods with 104 Gbs of storage on them, I own 1900 CDs and iTunes has 36.5 days of music loaded into it.
I purchased Apple Care on all of the iPods - it's expired and they never warned me. They want to charge me $29 to fix this problem - even though I no longer can purchase music via the iTunes Store, so I need to pay $29 in order to gain access to the iTunes store to spend more money with Apple?! Not a smart business decision. I own a few other PC based music programs and more than willing to transfer all of it out of iTunes and into one of the other products. I'll sell all the iPods on eBay and purchase other MP3 players if I must.
But, I suspect the problem is (1) Apple doesn't have a documented answer to this problem, (2) the level 1 techs that answer the support phone are clueless - they just e-mailed me the same article from the Apple website that I told them I read and does not apply to my problem, and obviously does not resolve my problem. (3) Apple is not setup to resolve this type of problem with their level 1 support, and they can't escalate the problem without charging us.
I'll try again on Monday, may even purchase Apple Care first and then use that. The Apple Care Tech Support is typically better than the free level 1 call in support.
Suggestions, comments, etc. are all appreciated.

Home wireless network keeps "timing out." Help!

I currently have an eMac with a wired connection to an AirPort Extreme base station that creates a wireless network in my home with Time Warner Road Runner. I also have an Airport Express that acts as a relay station.
For some reason lately, the wireless internet connection is S-L-O-W and often I can't load a page and get the message "network connection timed out, server may be busy." The wireless signal is excellent and I've restarted both the Base Station as well as the Express but no luck. I use a G4 PowerBook and my wife uses an iBook and the problem occurs on both
The wired connection works great.
Can anyone help me figure out what's going on? Thanks for any help.
Sunil
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm running into a simiar situation with Time Warner Road Runner. I have 3 PCs with a wired connection to a linksys router that creates a wireless network for my MacBook.
For the first 4 days the wireless network worked great. I could access the internet from anywhere in the house on my MacBook. On the 5th day I couldn't connect to the internet on my MacBook. I've power cycled the cable modem and the router, updated the router firmware and even called Apple Care. No one has an answer. Like you, my wired connections work just fine. And the wireless signal is great. The MacBook can see the wireless network and get on it but cannot connect to the internet through it.
I believe it may be a DHCP lease renewal issue for the IP address. The MacBook doesn't show an IP address in its Network Configurations for the router. My network locations keep resetting their port priorities to bluetooth instead of airport and everytime I do a diagnostic I get a message that says "another program has changed your network configurations, click ok to continue". But I don't have any answers.
Maybe someone out there does?

HT201263 When my ipod touch is in recovery mode, when i try to restore it, the itunes page says the website has timed out so it won't recover. Can anyone please help me?

When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Long time to load a first page, get "the connection has timed out" frequently.

Frequently takes a long time to get to first page. Even a "speed test" to check my DSL connection. Usually can get to "google.com" quickly but it did come up slow today (just a test for a simple page).
I have a wireless N router with it's own Firewall (which I didn't want) and I think I've turned it off. Symantec firewall, don't think WinXP firewall is on.
Tried refresh of Adobe Flash Player per suggestion in this forum, no help.
Would like to have a tool to see how long each step of getting to the web takes so I can see if there's a bottleneck.
Occasionally "try again" button works on the "connection has timed out" message.
My PC is 6 yr old. xp-home, lots of ram, HDD available. Run Symantec AV/MBAM frequently. Ran Housecall and Dr. Web- no problems.
Talked to my DSL provider and Symantec in depth. Similar lethargy when I get IE running but not as frequent as under FF. Measured my DSL speed - 5MB as promised.
When the lag occurs, Task Manager does not show FF taking a lot of processor time.
Have done the things suggested in FAQ to help with performance.
Also going to bleepingcomputer.com to see if there are suggestions there.
I'm hoping someone has experienced an analog to this and has a suggestion to diagnose and solve. Thanks - Mike.

Here's your sign! This is my problem and its solution. Let me know if someone needs help to interpret.
If you frequently get "connection timed out", go to your ISP and get Manual DNS addresses. Then beat them till they put a real fix on their system.
Problem is in the DNS server service provided by my DSL provider, Bell South/AT&T. Result of a poor performing DNS is that one can't get thru to the selected site.
If you do a web search +dsl +"time out" you will see the history with Windstream. THEY finally issues a system-wide fix which, it appears, flattened the issue. Then add +AT&T to see that experience. I did not read it all thru, I'm wasted chasing this problem. I don't give AT&T ANY credit for customer service or heading off problems for their customers on this one.
AT&T support offers me:

How do I check and update my DNS settings, if my DNS settings are not "server assigned"?
When you visit a Web site, your browser sends the site's alphabetic domain name to a DNS server. The DNS server translates the domain into a numeric IP address, then responds to your computer with the Internet location of the Web site. Incorrect DNS settings on your computer can disrupt this information flow and cause your Internet browsing to slow down or fail.
If you have trouble browsing the Internet, check your DNS settings. You likely have your DNS settings as "server-assigned." This allows DNS information to be automatically sent to your computer, which may improve your browsing experience. However, you may need to have your DNS settings manually entered
Note: If you are using a router to connect to your Internet service, check with your manufacturer's web site for instructions on updating your DNS settings with the following information:
Primary DNS: 68.94.156.1
Secondary DNS: 68.94.157.1
1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel from the menu.
2. Select Network and Internet Connections.
3. Double-click the Network Connections icon at the lower right.
4. Under the LAN or High-Speed Internet section, right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties.
5. From the "Components checked are used by this connection" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click the Properties button.
6. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected, you do not need to update your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
7. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
8. Click OK.
9. Return to the Network Connections screen. If you have a DSL Connection icon in the Broadband section, proceed to next step otherwise you have completed updating your DNS settings.
10. Under the Broadband section, right-click the DSL Connection icon and select Properties.
11. Select the Networking tab.
12. From the "This connection uses the following items" list, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
13. Read the current DNS setting on the lower half of the TCP/IP properties screen. If the radio button Obtain DNS server address automatically is selected you do not need to up date your DNS settings. Otherwise, please continue.
14. Input the new Preferred DNS server of 68.94.156.1 and the Alternate DNS server of 68.94.157.1.
15. Click OK.
================================= end quote.
So it appears I can't put screen shots in here. Well I hope you get the gist.
In fact this is a bit hosed up.
It says if you user "automatic dns" you're OK, that's opposite of my experience.
I changed to the specified DNS addresses and things seem 99.9% fixed.
I also changed my Router (wireless) settings.
If there's a survey of my experience here I'll take it.

Getting Timed out exception while calling a web service

Hi,
when i am invoking a web service(using routing), the osb proxy is getting timed out before receiving the response from routed service.
Also we are not aware of how much response time the routed service will take. so apart from increasing the connection time is there any alternate solution?
can any one suggest.

I do not think there is any other way apart from increasing timeouts to call a web service from OSB synchronously which is taking a long time.
Other alternatives are either to make the service asynchronous delyed request response type, which will mean a change at the backend webservice.
Ideally synchronous web services are designed to respond within a few seconds and not take minutes for processing. I would say that if the backend web service is taking more than a minute then they need to either tune their service performance better so it responds faster OR change it to an asynchronous service.

Cannot access iTunes Store - "connection timed out" or "secure connection failed" issues.

If you are having problems connecting to the iTunes Store to:
(a)     activate a new iPod, iPhone or iPad; or
(b)     re-activate an existing iPod. iPhone or iPad after upgrading the OS for the device,
then hopefully this article will assist.
It is assumed that have encountered the following problem. When you connect your device to your PC the device is recognised by iTunes, but the main window simply displays the name of the device (e.g. iPad). The progress bar at the top says "accessing the iTunes Store", but it stalls and eventually there is an error message saying something like "connection timed out".
There are a number of variants of this problem, but the common thread is that your device is unable to access the iTunes Store to authenticate a new device or after upgrading the OS on an existing device.The first recaction is to check that your Internet connection is ok and that that "itunes.exe" a not being blocked by your Windows or third party firewall settings, but the problem persists.
Having recently experienced this problem and scouring the Internet for a solution, I eventually solved it using the following approach:
(a)     Check that you are connected to the Internet (i.e can browse the web).
(b)     Open iTunes and choose "Run diagnostics" from the help menu and then select the "networking connectivity" option (uncheck the other options) and click "next" twice. A report will show the results with a "green" or "red" dot next to each item. You should see a "green" dot next to the first two items ("Network interfaces verified" and "Internet connection verified"). However there will probably be a "red" dot next to the third item "Secure link to iTunes Store verified".
The important thing to note is that a secure connection could not be established. This is an indication that your wireless security is the problem. It does not satisfy the security level expected by the iTunes Store. It seems that an unsecure connection or one using outdated encryption (such as WEP) is no longer sufficient for the iTunes Store. This may be why the problem has emerged with the most recent versions of iTunes. The now widely used wireless encryption standard WPA or WPA2 is expected.
So you need to check your router wireless security settings and, if you have a PC that uses a wireless connection to the router, make sure its settings match. The following is a guide bearing in mind that there are many different types of routers and Windows OS.
Router
TIP: If you have a wireless connection from your PC to your router, then check your PC wireless security options first to see that "WPA" or "WPA2" are available (see below) as it will be a pain to change your router settings only to discover that your PC does not have the same options.
(a)     Most routers can be accessed using your web browser by typing in the router's address (e.g. http://192.186.1.1). If you don't know the address look at the mannual that came with your router as it will tell you how to do this.
(b)     Once your browser displays the router interface you may be prompted for a username and password. These may be the default factory or ones that you have created previously. If the username or password has not been changed, but you don't remember of know what they are again go to the mannual that came with your router as it will have that information.
(c)     Assuming that you are able to access your router interface, look for the "wireless" tab or menu and a sub-menu or option for the "security settings". They'll be there somewhere. Once you find the security options you can select the encryption level. As stated above, you should choose "WPA" or "WPA2". You will then be asked to create a network key which can be anything with the required number of letters and/or digits.
(d)     Once your finished write the settings down (including the key) as you will need them for your PC if you have a wireless connection to the router. Save the changes (if prompted to do so) and re-boot your router.
PC Wireless
(a)     Again the appoach that you need to take will depend on your OS (XP, Vista or Windows 7), but generally speaking if you go to the "network" on your PC there will be the option to highlight it and right click or choose a "properties" item. I vaugely think this can be done in XP by right clicking the wireless icon in the taskbar and navigating to the dialogue box that shows your network. In Windows 7 you will need to go to the "Network and Sharing Center" and then choose "Manage wireless networks".
(b)     At some point (sorry to be vauge) you will find the wireless network security options for your network. Select the same level of encrytion ("WPA" or "WPA2") and type in the same network key that you chose for your router. Save the changes and your wireless connection should come to life. If not then make sure that you have put in the correct settings before freaking out.
Back to iTunes
Once you are connected to your router again (wirelessly or by lan), then plug in your device and open iTunes. As before it will try to access the iTunes Store, but hopefully you won't have any problem establishing a secure connection and you'll be up and running.
Best of luck!

Something is still blocking iTunes, do you have any other firewall installed?
When you say you removed Norton, to you mean you uninstalled it. An uninstalled Norton security product can still bock iTunes as some of it is left behind.
Several people have found that using the Norton Removal Tool to remove all traces of Norton fixes this problem.

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

I keep getting a message stating my internet connection timed out when trying to sign in to the iTunes store.

When I attempt to log into the iTunes store, I get an error message stating that my internet connection has timed out. I am able to access the internet otherwise. I am running on my home WiFi network from AT&T. I've removed iTunes and reinstalled it several times with the same outcome. Is there anything that I may be over looking, such as internet speed, etc? I've also check my firewall and pop up blocker and the program is allowed.

i've been having trouble for the last couple weeks, and after spending HOURS trying every solution i could find, i still can't get the store to load, or for itunes to stop hanging my computer. however, through the process of elimination, i did figure out that i had a router that died. got that going now, just wish i could get the itunes store to work.

How can I download iphone software 5 when I keep getting this error message: There was a problem downloading the s/w for the iphone ...The network connection timed out. It's error 3259

I keep getting an error message saying my network connection has timed out when I try to download the iphone 5 software to my iphone 4 while it's connected to my laptop. Then it says make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. The download gets all the way to the end (takes about an hour mind you), and keeps timing out. It's error 3259. FYI, I have the latest version of iTunes.

Security software on your computer/router is the usual cause of this. Turn off/disable or uninstall all anti-virus software & firewalls. Try again.

"network connection timed out"-can't update upgrade on ipod

Last year an ipod touch 8GB was given to me and I am just now updating everything. When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it prompts me to download and install 3.1.3 upgrade. So I hit "download and install" and right after it gets done downloading (takes 7 min), an error message pops up and says "network connection timed out"- could not install the upgrade, try again later. I have paid the 5 bucks for the upgrade and tried it about 10 times now with the same results everytime.
I have tried turning off my router and restarting that and also reset my network connections on the actual ipod itself with re-typing in my network name and password for the wifi. My wireless connection is strong and never goes out on me, as well as my ipod always recognizes it and connects automatically so I'm not sure why I keep getting this error message!
HELP!!! thx

I ran into the issue this week. said yes to upgrade, ipod was backed up, and then upgrade died. ipod touch itself indicated it was no longer aware. power down did not help, itunes could not restore to previous. Looking on apple site, I was getting a code 14 error. solution was to update itunes to 9.03, restart system and then retry the download. it worked after that, and the backup did restore all my info including kindle books etc.

"The network connection timed out" Update/Restore using iTunes

Can anyone help with this problem. Ever since IOS 7.0 was released, iTunes is so broken when it comes to updating the software or restoring iPhones. Everytime I try to restore or update I get the error "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. The network connection timed out." after waiting for the 20min download. For one thing there is nothing wrong with my network connection it's fine, I cannot access the itunes store the whole nine yards, it's just when I need to update or restore the phone. It takes 20 mins to download then it gives me this stupid error. I have tried everything I've seen on the forum that others have tried with disabling virus scanners and other 3rd party software and nothing! The funny thing is, it happens on every computer in the house, even my Mac notebook, so it seems like it's tracking the Baja network connection, but I don't have any problems with anything else we are using, it's just with iTunes. We were using OpenDNS, so I removed that from the router and I still have the some problem. Does anyone know a way around this problem. I am so ready to bail on apple products. Frustrating....
I would appreicate any help in resolving this problem....
Tnx

Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
I hope this helps!
Regards.
