Safari can't find any web sites on hotel wifi?

Hi,
I have connected to the wifi service at the hotel I'm staying at but the only site I can get is google. If I type an address into the browser it says my computer isn't connected to the Internet, even though internet connect says I'm connected.
It did this at the last hotel I stayed at. Both my iPod touch and my wife's Archos can connect fine.
Is it likely to be a setting that needs changing on my Macbook?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks

open a terminal, execute
$ nslookup yahoo.com
(dollar sign is a prompt, do not type that)
you should get output similar to below, otherwise dhcp has not assigned your network settings (or you are not setup for dhcp).
mac-on-smack:~ rickc$ nslookup yahoo.com
Server: 192.168.1.250
Address: 192.168.1.250#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: yahoo.com
Address: 66.94.234.13
Name: yahoo.com
Address: 216.109.112.135
Go into system preferences --> Network
Click on TCP/IP
Check if it is set for DHCP
You could also try to renew the DHCP lease to have an IP addr / Gateway / DNS reassigned.

I amusing iphone4 not iPad and the safari can't find any web page even after reboot

the safari can't do anything and shows the operation can't complete .is there some body running into the same problem? and how you fix it?

Do you have an active internet connection either via cellular or wifi? Are other apps able to connect to the internet?

Connected to wifi network but safari can't find any web pages

my wifi connection is shown as connected but when i go to safari it says i am not connected to the internet. itunes, you tube, maps, etc. don't work either. does anyone have any ideas? i've seen suggestions on here but none seem to work for me

emertone,
Have you tried using a static IP configuration on your iPad instead of DHCP?
Settings->General->Network->wifi-> (arrow beside the current active wifi connection)? If you see an IP address like 169.x.x.x you are having a problem with getting a DHCP lease.
First make sure that MAC address filters are not enabled on your router. If they are, disable them and see if DHCP then works. It should give you a 192.168.x.x IP address. You may need to reboot the iPad or the connection to trigger DHCP.
If it doesn't work, and you still see a 169.x.x.x IP address, select "Static" instead of "DHCP"
- set IP to for example 192.168.0.155 (last part can be 0-255 but choose somewhere in the middle to avoid collision with DHCP assigned addresses)
- subnet 255.255.255.0
- router 192.168.0.1
- dns 192.168.0.1
Depending on your router you may need to use 192.168.1 instead of 192.168.0 in the above addresses, but try 0 first

My safari can't open no web sites at all

I have actualised the safari to 5.0.5 (for Leopard) and still cant open any web site.
I use leopard Mac OS X 10.5.8
Without opening safari my xmarks for safari ask to download an actualisation but it cant go to the web page.
With Firefox or Chrome I dont have any trouble.
Any help?
Thanks

I suspect it has something to do with your ISP.
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

Safari can't open specifics web sites

i'm having troubles to re-open some web sites visited earlier.
I'm on a macbook pro with leopard and safari 5.0.1, all updates installed
Example: www.tgcom.it
The first time opened without any problem, the second time can't open again.
after typing the address and hit the return key, safari display immediately (without even trying to load the page) the white page with the alert:
Safari can't connect to the server.
Safari can't open the page “http://www.tgcom.it/” because safari can't connect to the server “www.tgcom.it”.
I've try already to reset Safari and clean the cache. No changes.
On the same network I have an iMac, which is loading this page anytime without any problem.
As well a windows PC is on the same home network, the page can be loaded too.
Only on this macbook pro i'm experiencing this issue.
I don't know what to think more..... the problem can't be the web-site (it works with other machines)
Other web sites on the macbook are working properly, only three address seams to be blocked from this machine only....
any suggestions???? thanks
Marco

Safari 5 Cannot Find Any Web Pages

We have two iMacs. My wife's is model 8,1 and is running OSX 10.5.8. My iMac is model 9,1 and is running 10.6.3. Both are Core 2 Duo. We have both downloaded Safari 5. Mine is running okay, but I cannot decide if it is slower or faster.
My wife's iMac can _no longer find any web pages_.
We are connected by standard ethernet twisted pair cables to a router, which is then connected by cable to our broadband modem.
Both of our emails work fine. Also, Firefox runs fine on both of our iMacs. For the time being, until Apple has a fix for this, or someone in the forum has a suggestion, I guess we are stuck with Firefox on my wife's iMac.
Any suggestions. Very frustrating. My wife's iMac was running fine until she downloaded Safari 5.
Best Regards
Steve

HI Steve,
On the iMac running v10.5.8...
Have her login to another user account and see if she can access web pages there. If she can, the problem is just in her Home Folder, not system wide.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
And try cycling off the router for several minutes then turn it back on then see if she can access the net.
Try repairing disk permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If nothing above helps, install the v10.5.8 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though her Mac is already running v10.5.8.

Palm TX can connect but can't get any web sites

Hi,
I was just able to get my Pam TX to connect to my home network, by manually entering the IP address. Now it instantly says "cannot find requested page" as soon as I enter any web address. Am I missing something?
Is there something I need to upgrade? I have a Verizon FiOS router, WEP connection...
Many thanks,
HA
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Instead of entering the name of the PC, try entering the IP address for it on your network.
I strongly suggest setting "static IP's" for both your TX and PC in your router. This will ensure better success of connection for a wifi HotSync.

I can't find my web-site in my iweb

I created a web-site in 2008 and want to revise it. When I open iWeb, it is not there. WHen I type in the www. address, it's there. How do I get it back and work with it?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.

Can connect to WLAN, but can't access any web site...

I have a Nokia E61 that I have configured to access my wirless home network (Linksys). I use personal WPA security, and my SSID is hidden. I loaded the proper settings into an access point setting and when I go to Web, the phone shows that it connects to my Linksys router, but the web page never loads. I eventually get a time out error. If I connect to the same website using GPRS, it loads without any problem.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply!
I have looked at my RV082's firewall setup, but don't see anything out of the ordinary. I even disabled the firewall, but it didn't seem to make any difference. What did you have in mind that I should check?
I get the following error on the E61 when I try to access an Internet website: "Web: Connection Time Out". It takes about a minute or two for the E61 to generate that error.
Regarding the RV082's ability to assign devices to the right subnet, I have three other PCs on my network (2x Windows XP, 1x Windows 98SE), and they have always connected the first time and every time with no issue. How would I check which subnet the RV082 is assigning to the phone? On a PC, I usually do an "ipconfig /all" at the command line and see what's assigned. Is there an equivalent command for the E61 that I could enter while I'm connected?
If I remove the RV082 and plug my WAP54G directly into my cable modem, then my E61 can access the Internet. So it's definitely an incompatiblity with the settings in the RV082 and the E61. But before I/we blame the RV082, I have more or less the same problem at my employer's office: I can connect to the office network, but can't access any sites outside the company network. The only difference is the E61's error message: at work I get a "no gateway response" error within a few seconds. It's a company with around 200 employees at that site, and we're certainly not using an RV082 in the office. I have not tried to call Linksys support yet because in fairness to them, they won't know jack s*** about the E61 and how to configure/check the settings.
Is there something about the DNS settings in the E61 that I'm setting incorrectly? I have them set to Automatic in both IPv4 and IPv6 settings, which is how my PCs are setup at home and what my IT guy at work tells me should be OK.
Thanks in advance for any more advice!
BTW, I'm no big fan of Linkys either, but I've had zero problems with my Linksys products. Also, when I have had to contact Linksys for help with a setup, they have always eventually come through and solved the problem. I've tried contacting Nokia and can't even get a live person that can do anything (the E61 isn't supported by Nokia USA, and the UK phone number they gave me was just a recording). If anything, I'm ready to hurl my E61 through the window right now as I've spent way too many hours trying to get this thing to work.

Safari can't load any web pages

I just installed Safari on a WinXP Pro machine and it shows a Can't Open Web Page error when trying to access any web page, while FireFox and IE function without problem. There are no proxies; local firewall is disabled; tried re-installing and clearing App Data. Safari loads file:// pages OK, so it appears to be something in the network access. (Not a DNS issue since I tried loading by IP address as well.)
Any ideas?

I am using 4.42 version of safari.i did not get any message the thing is that when i enter my user name an password it just refresh the login page.

Where can I find the web site ID of a project site in Project Server 2010?

Hi, I need to find the ID of the project site of a project in Project Server 2010 in order to be able to identify that web site in the Sharepoint Content DB (in the reporting DB, in Projects_View appears the URL of the project site but not its web
site ID). I need to list the documents stored in the project sites of the projects contained in the Project Center inside PWA.
Thank you very much
Regards
Carlos Negroni

Hi Mahesh:
Thanks but what I need is to link that ID with the related project in Project Server databases. Anyway I think I'll use the FullURL information to join the tables because that information appears in the Reporting Database of Project Server (although maybe
it is not the best alternative).

Can't get any web sites to load up in ssearch box then "connection has timed out" pops up

everything I type in in search box will not load. Can't get any site to load. Circle keeps spinning up on the top left of screen but site never loads

OK. Possibly onto something here. On the left hand side of the Business Rule tab there are all the calc scripts. Then only Bus Rule that appears there is a new one I created that was an exact copy of the Business Rule in question, just with a '- New' appended to the end of the name. Funny thing is both Business rules that are attached to the form do appear on the right hand side. Thus how could that be? How does one get the Bus Rules to appear on the left hand side? Haven't been in EAS Business Rules mode for a long time.

Can't get safari to talk to any web site except mobileme on winxp

Safari 3.1.2 for first time on Windows XP looks like it's not getting out to net. "Safari could not open the page “http://www.apple.com/” because the server is not responding." for all sites except to MobileMe login ("auth.apple.com..." with an HTTPS URL)
Using LAN to hi-speed broadband modem connection from Optimum Online. IE and new Firefox work fine. Proxy (Preferences) off, tried on/off combinations without success. CA firewall settings look good. Works fine through LAN/WIFI/router from other machines, e.g. Powerbook/Leopard and MacBook Pro/Tiger, etc. Any suggestions?

Windows Firewall should automatically get disabled when you did install the CA firewall.
If not then disable the Windows Firewall right now,
Since having 2 firewalls enabled at the same time will just lead too problems.

I bought my ipad mini in the UK and it worked fine, I live in Cyprus and since being back i can not access any web sites

My web browser( Google ) home page appears but when i type in the web address it does not access them it just constantly appears to be loading.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

there are a lot of complaints here about wifi issues with the ipad mini - all seam to deal with 3rd party routers. you might want to check these Threads out.
did you delete the wifi network on your ipad and reconnect? Are you using WPA2? Did you select TKIP/AES or only one of them? Does your ipad get an ip address?
