Safari says I'm not connected to Internet-Airport says I am w/good signal

I've moved. I am using AT&T DSL as Internet Service Provider. My PC/Base station is running VIsta Home. The Base station router is LINKSYS Wireless-G Microsoft Broadband. It's all interfaced beautifully before with my iMac and MacBook Pro.
Since the move, However, I've had a problem. The "Internet Connect" on my MacBook Pro shows I am connected to Linksys. The signal strength has all bars lighted blue. The tool bar "fan" has also bars black. However, when I click on Safari the display reads 'Safari cannot open the page because you are not connected to the internet." The PC Base station (from which I am writing this note)is on the Internet using the AT&T DSL connection, and apparently the MacBook Pro reads the wireless signal, too. Never had this happen before to any wifi signal with my MacBook Pro...any ideas what is causing the conflicting reports? Thanks.

Hi, a few ideas...
Go to System Preferences
Click Network
Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
Choose “By default, join: Preferred networks”
Select your access point and Remove your access point with the minus button.
Launch your keychain access in Utilities and delete your access point keychain entry.
Reboot
Go back to the “By default, join:” page and click the plus this time to add your access point. Enter the correct password, save, reboot.
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.
Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106653
Another thing that has worked for many is to just copy/duplicate that Location in Network>Location>Edit Locations..., then use that one.
The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Then Apply
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

  • Original Ipad 1 will not connect to internet even though there is a strong signal displayed

    Hi My iPad 1 was working fine but suddenly it will not connect to the internet, it shows a full wifi signal and I have tried reseting but it keeps failing to connect with the internet,,does this indicate a fault with the iPad, router or software. My Sony laptop works from the same BT router using wifi and has no problems.
    Has anyone had similar connection issues, I am reluctant to send it to Apple in case its not a fault with the iPad so want to check all other options first..

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

    I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues.  First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is.  I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything.  Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet.  I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally.  It's not site-specific.  Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine. 
    The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads.  It will just show the blue box with a question mark.  I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites. 
    I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly.  I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari. 

    Try repairing permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup  disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select:  Repair Disk Permissions
    This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
    When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • I have a new ipad2, also an ipad1, with a gateway laptop. I have wireless router with windstream. Able to access my wireless connection on ipad1 and laptop, but can't on ipad2. Will say connected, but get message saying not connected to internet on Safari

    I got an ipad 2 today. Already have an ipad 1 and gateway laptop. Have wireless internet with windstream. I have internet connection on ipad 1 and laptop, but can't connect to internet on ipad2. It says i'm connected, but when accessing Safari, it says not connected to internet. Tried unplugging router and resetting already, still not working. Thanks for the help.

    Thank you for your response.
    I did try turning off the firewall, and reducing all the security levels to a minimum (under Control Panel>Internet Options). Also, I'm using a direct cable from my m/c to the Airport Extreme. But nothing helps. Due to the usage pattern in my family, using the MacBook for configuring the network is not optimal, hence my struggle to do it on my Windows desktop. But if that is the only way to go I suppose I'll have to.
    Subsequent to posting my query, I discovered that Apple had not singled me out, and many others with a Win OS face this problem, too. I would have thought Apple would do a proper job of testing before putting up the Windows version of Airport Utlity on their site.
    But thanks again. Much appreciate it.

  • Safari 4.0.2 so slow that says you are not connected to internet, & no JAVA

    1)with the new version of safari 4.0.2, and the "loading" imageit is very slow, so slow that then I press any link it says you are not connected to internet. , then I reload again and it loads for the first time the page after a long time.
    this happens so often.
    ... but guess what, I open the connection using another browser and I can see the same pages without problem.
    this version is so low, even when I press to any link... why the loading of pages like apple.com takes too long?
    2)now with this version I can not see applications that runs on java. before it i could , but now it does not display , and the sun page says that for mac one has to check the apple updates, but there is no apple updates until now to complement the java problem.

    This could ( no, will happen if your dsl modem/router is set to give up it's connection when the mac is idle.
    Many dsl modems ( in the UK, at least ) do NOT default to 'always on'.... & a setting must be changed to enable this. Even with 'always on', you will get a similar problem occasionally, but the delay will be just a few seconds.... not 30+.
    Some modems can be accessed by entering 192.168.1.1 into safari - check the instructions for yours.
    Also some(!) isp's don't allow always on & force a disconnection when idle. Mine does - but you can opt-out of it via their website.
    I bet if you mention the make/model of your dsl gear, somebody here can tell you exactly where to find these settings.

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    If you have anti virus software installed, that could be a factor.

  • I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network OK but safari and email say I'm not connected to internet

    I'm connected to the Wi-Fi network OK but safari and email say I'm not connected to internet so nothing happens.

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Wi fi is on but when i use safari it says not connected to internet?

    I need help with ipad.Internet was working then we watched a video on utube and from then on we get a message saying not connected to internet. home Wi fi is on.

    restart the ipad.
    hold top power button for 5 seconds, slide to power off. then turn back on.
    Resolved? if not, reset network settings. Settings>general>reset>reset network settings
    this will wipe out any wi fi connections, and you will need to rejoin the network and re-enter the password.
