Safari can't connect to a windows wireless access manager

I am the automation coordinator for a library that uses all windows applications. We have recently installed a wireless access manager that we use to authenticate our patrons. We have discovered that patrons using safari cannot always connect to our WAM. They are getting the signal, I can see that much. But they can't then proceed to our log-in page. Other libraries in my consortium have discovered that if Safari users have ie or firefox also installed, they can use that browser to get to the web page, after which they can use safari to browse. It is just the log in page that safari can't connect to. Tech support from the WAM vendor claims this is not an issue they can reproduce. Any insight anybody can offer me here would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
It would be helpful to post the URL. Thanks Someone in these forums with programming knowledge in this area ought to be able to assist you.

Problem with Safari **Safari can't connect to the server**

My internet is working fine, but I keep having to refresh the page because I'm always getting "safari can't connect to the server". Same thing happens with different browsers. I've read a couple things online and unistalled everything that I think is causing the problem but it's still happening frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most school networks are closed networks. You can access their Intranet, with all the files and peripherals and everything, but you need to have a specific password or IP address to access any outside connection. I have an ibook G4 that's 3 years old. I used it in high-school to access AOL wirelessly. That was before closed and protected networks were prefered. It shouldn't matter if the school intranet is widows based or not. You need to access your own internet service sometimes in order to get any reaction. If you simply use safari, you might only be connecting to the schools intranet, which only links together the schools computers and keeps the system isolated. Also, you need to check your firewall settings, in fact, just turn off the firewall. The schools sytem is firewalled up the bum and you shouldn't get attacks anyway because you're running the mac os.
You might also try an alternative approach. Go into a computer lab, access one of the systems, then go to control panels and look up every connection you can find. Take down all of the info and then see which matches up with similar info on your mac. Then go to another pc and look up the same info again. Is it different? How? Then take that listing to the system administrator and show them. They may not know that a mac has a simpler interface than the pc, so you may have to do some prodding to get them to take a look. If they still tell you it wont work, you could try boot-camp or a virtualizer (to let you run windows alongside the mac os). If you use a virtualizer, you can get your own copy of windows and then share it's connection to the main system to the mac.

Some of my Apps don't connect to the internet. For example, NY Times Web App, says it can't connect. But when I access it from Safari it does. I have a number of Apps like this. I've removed and reinstalled and it doesn't help. Please help!

Some of my Apps don't connect to the internet. For example, NY Times Web App, says it can't connect. But when I access it from Safari it does (it is a web site and the App just accesses it form the desktop of the IPAD). I have a number of Apps like this. I've removed and reinstalled and it doesn't help. Please help!
Thank you.

On the wireless networks that your Mac has had trouble connecting to, do you know which Wireless Security type (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) is being used?
If it is WEP, one of the problems is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit 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 AEBS will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa. You may find the following Apple Support article helpful.

Safari can't connect after latest Lion update

Just updated my software and now safari can't connect to websites. It connects for a bit then after awhile it will no longer connect. Firefox and Chrome are connecting fine so this is a safari only issue with the latest update.
Safari Version 5.1.5 (7534.55.3)
Quiting safari and restarting works for a little while then eventually 'can't connect to server' eventually appears. I'm going back to firefox until this is resolved.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
Hi I have the same sort of problems I carried out the two tests and the problem appears to only be in my profile not in guest profile. Is there a cure?

Safari Can't Connect To Proxy Server - Why?

I was using Safari with a proxy server on my Macbook Pro for the last week or so, because people who log ip addresses on places like LiveJournal etc annoy me and I'd rather not reveal all to whoever happens to be looking. It was all working fine, then suddenly when I went to use it this morning, Safari won't connect through a proxy server at all, no matter what I do. All I get is; +Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the web proxy server (HTTP).+
I know the ip address I'm using is fine because it will work in Firefox, and not only that, Safari on my sister's Macbook will accept that same ip address and load webpages fine, so it's obviously something screwy over here. I hadn't touched settings or anything between using it yesterday and it not working today. I've even updated Safari to see if that's the problem. It's not, and I'm stuck as to why it's suddenly thrown a hissy fit.

Hello !
Does Software Update from Apple menu connect? If not
Go to:
System Preference > Network.
Click Advanced.
Click Proxies Tab on top.
In Configure Proxies box click up-down arrows for the pop-up window and select Manually.
In the pane that opens up make sure no box is checked, if checked uncheck it.
Click OK at the bottom of the window.
Click Apply at the bottom of the window.
Close System Preference.
Relaunch Safari. It should connect. This worked for me.
Firefox does not use the Proxy system Safari uses.

Can I connect to a windows server to download and view files and return to server???

I use the FTP on the Go Pro app to do just this. I don't know what kind of servers I connect to though but I've not had any problems connecting.

Firstly, the HP printer must be connected to the ASUS' network. Then, simply connect your MBP to the network and your printer should be addable in Print & Fax in System Preferences.

Safari Not Loading Web Pages (Safari can't connect to the server)

I'm seeing increasing problems with Safari being unable to connect to websites. When the problem starts to manifest itself you see the error:
Safari can't connect to the server.
Safari can't open the page.
Then you see the URL information. It is always seems to be sites that are trying to load HTTPS pages.
Clearing the cache and resetting Safari will make it go away temporarily, but it always comes back.
Note that when this happens you might happen to see something like this in the address bar:
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/

I'm having the same problem, I can open safari but when I try to go to a website it just says "server stopped responding." I just updated to the new version and that's when it started happening, it was working find before the update. Any suggestions???

Internet connected according to Network Diagnostic but Safari can't connect

I just bought a new iMac in Australia yesterday; when I brought it back home and connected the ethernet cable to it I thought it would automatically connect to the internet as my other family members' Macs have in their homes, and as my old PC did.
Unfortunately it did not, so I bumbled through Network Setup in System Preferences with little idea of what I was doing and essentially hoped for a miracle. I copied the 'IP address', 'Router' address and 'Subnet mask' numbers over manually from my PC but that didn't work. I then selected 'Using DHCP' and it gave me a seemingly normal IP starting with 192.xxx.xxx.xxx and the same subnet mask. When I run 'Network Diagnostics' it says my internet connection appears to be working correctly, and there's green lights next to everything. But when I go to Safari and type in www.google.com it takes forever before finally telling me that "Safari can't connect as the server is not responding'.
I have scrolled through pages of this forum trying to find answers but I haven't yet. I tried changing the DNS addresses to the ones from OpenDNS but that didn't seem to work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What kind of connection do you have?
-DHCP, this assigns the IP automaticly
-PPPoE, you will have to enter the information from your ISP manually in rder to connect
If you copy the IP from another machine it will create an issue since IP´s are unique to for machine.
Can you verify you internet connection, just to make sure it actually works?
+you can connect with other machines?
- you have to look at the settings on you machine
+you can ping www.google.com from Network utility
- if you can you have a connection to the internet, there might be a problem with your DNS server
+you can connect with IP addresses but not the HTTP
- copy and paste googles IP into your web browser, if it connects you should contact you ISP or look for DNS trojans in your system
+what does network utility show of send errors and link speed.

Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Hi,
I'm running WebLogic 5.1 sp10 on a Solaris box and I get the
following error:
java.rmi.RemoteException: java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to
X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

Have I just forgotten to set an environment variable? I would prefer
not to install bulky pieces of software, but if that's what it takes
to get over this error, so be it.
Thanks, Dave A.

A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
that has to be a first.
If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
<hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
export DISPLAY=hostname:0
where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
XServer from the display client.
Apparently, you are not at the console?
Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.

i got the tip of passing -Djava.awt.headless=true to vm to disable system graphic calls but after restart weblogic i still get the same error
i am wondering if this case has something to do with jdk 1.3.1, and perhaps newer versions of jdk can take the parameter and operate correctly
is that right?

is headless option supported in jdk1.3.1?No,
It was added in JDK 1.4:

Can't connect to X11 window server using

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using "Ip" as the value of the DISPLAY variable.
I get the above error when I try to create an instance of the JProgressBar.
I have not been able to create a workaround.
One suggestion that I had was to use the following system command.
System.setProperty("java.awt.headless","true");
That gave me a null pointer exception.
I also tried setting the compiler parameters to make this process headless, but it did not make any difference.
I am running this code in a Unix environment.
Any ideas?

Hi
Generally in Unix environment the server should accept the connections from clients. Run the xhost + command on the server to which you are trying to connect and then try your application.
Thanks

Hi, Kelly
Thanks for your kind response.
The X-server should work, when I export DISPLY to a remote X-server.
How about ImageServlet.. It seems that the ImageServlet has more advantages than X-server or XVBF
I tried to configure OC4J using ImageServlet follow UIX developer's guide. But I was not able to force OC4J to use ImageSevlet. But OC4J is stll try to find X-sever..
I modified the web.xml file for the sample application I deployed.
Is this a right configuration? What is the different
<servlet>^M
<servlet-name>uix</servlet-name>^M
<servlet-class>oracle.cabo.servlet.UIXServlet</servlet-class>^M
<init-param>^M
<servlet-name>uix</servlet-name>^M
