Sony Ericsson w705 connects to Airport Extreme but can't get data

My Sony Ericsson w705 has wifi, it connects to my Airport Extreme (802.11g 2004 model) network but cannot receive data to surf the net. I have managed to connect the handset to another wifi network so my settings must be the issue. I have been told that once connected I should be able to see a DNS address in my network settings.
I connect to my network wirelessly with my macbook without any issues.
When I connect to my network with the Sony Ericsson w705 there is no DNS address in the connection settings. Any ideas how I can fix this.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the tips, Bob & Bill. We've done a complete shutdown/restart cycle of modem, AirPort Extreme (sorry for the confusion on that!), and computer (turning back on in order from the wall on out), but we hadn't tried leaving the modem off for longer than a couple minutes, so I'll try that. Although it seems strange to me that it would talk to the computer but not to the base station. I've never seen that happen.
Bob, his connection is satellite, so the modem is whatever goes with that. I don't know how different it is from a DSL modem or a cable modem. (He lives out in the sticks, and that's his only option other than dial-up.)
Will post results ASAP.

Just connect the new iPod to your computer and setup the iPod via iTunes (instead of via wifi).
If you want to copy all the infor from an old iPod touch to the inew iPod see:

Connects to Airport extreme but not to internet

Whenever I close my laptop and reopen, I lose internet connection thru the airport extreme and I won't get it back. It seems that I will have connection to the Airport Extreme, but not the internet.
Sometimes what fixes it is turning the airport off and then on again (sometimes multiple times). Usually restarting the computer fixes it (but not always).
What happens is this (viewing Sysprefs/network/airport/network status and "internet connect"): the internet connect will report connecting...then will announce "connected", but show no "time elapsed" at the same time the Net status will read "airport is connected to ..network...with it's own IP address and may or may not be connected to the internet" And I won't be.
Then, when it starts working again (after the abovementioned turning off/on) it will start counting time elapsed, then in Net Status it will say "airport connected to ..network. you are connected to the internet via airport."
Also, whenever I use "internet connect" to turn the airport off, when I turn it back on again I will not have internet access, just the messages I list above. The "strenth meter" will say my signal is good (which it should be) and it says I am connected but doesn't show "elapsed time" nor will I have actual internet access.
Again, restarting the computer will usually work (less often, logging out then back in).
Another strange symptom-- When I hit the "disconnect" button under the airport section of "internet connect" it disconnects, then reconnects immediately. When I hit the disconnect button w/ in the Sysprefs/network/airport...etc, it does nothing but bring to the front window the "internet connect" window. So the only way to "disconnect" is to turn off the airport (which results in the above problem).
Side note--I am in the habit of turning off the airport (not the base, but from the computer) when I don't plan on using it for security-- am I being excessively paranoid? I do have my firewall in operation. Should I just leave it (being the airport) on all the time (in your humble opinion?
Sorry if this makes no sense or rambles, it is now 5:30 am and She Who Must Be Obeyed will be getting up in about an hour wanting to know if I fixed the computer yet. I'm tired.
Thank you in advance.

I have linked my seagate hard drive to my airport extreme but can not seem to find it in finder any ideas

Hi Help Please
i have just linked an external hard drive to my airport extreme but it does not seem to appear in finder under shared !!!! any ideas

i have plugged the hard drive into a usb router which in turn is plugged to to the AEBS it is visible in airport utility but then can not find it anywhere else!!
First, the drive must be formatted correctly to work at the USB port of the AEBS. That means a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32. NTFS will not work.
You need to have a powered USB hub, even if the hard drive has its own power supply
Next, you may not have configured the Finder Preferences to display a connected hard drive. Please follow these steps:
o Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus appear at the top of the screen
o Click Finder, then click Preferences
o Click the General tab
o Under the heading of "Show these itmes on the desktop", make sure you have a check mark next to Connected Servers
Restart both the AirPort Extreme and your Mac
Open Finder and check under the SHARED heading for your AirPort Extreme icon
Click on your AirPort Extreme and a folder will appear in the window to the right representing your hard drive
Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop
Hopefully, you are not planning to try to backup files using the Time Machine application, as this is not supported by Apple.

How can I set up a WD My Cloud with my Airport Extreme - I can't get it to open ports 80 and 443?

For remote internet access to the WD My Cloud Mirror, I have been advised that ports 80 and 443 must be open in order to reach the WDMyCloudMirror. My Motorola Gateway (Surfboard SB6141) is connected directly to my Airport Extreme (WAN port) which is in turn connected to the WDMyCloudMirror (all by ethernet cables). I do not have FULL instructions on how to properly manually configure the Airport Extreme to open the ports. I have tried an earlier posting which provides many of the steps, but not all of the required information is included (how to determinge the IP address to be assigned, etc.). I did the best I could with the information given, but the test using "YouGetSignal" showed the ports as still closed and attemps to reach the WDMyCloudMirror by the internet failed as well (of course). The WDMyCloudMirror has enough Apple "stuff" included in it (software, I suspect) that an Apple legal acceptance is required for its set-up, yet Western Digital Tecnical Support is unable (or unwilling?) to help with this aspect of its configuration required to work within the Airport Extreme environment. I have returned the WD My Cloud Mirror to Amazon as "not able to work", but I have not given up the hope that I can eventually get the ports open so that I can get this cloud device, or one similar, to permit remote internet access.

Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

Connected to the network, but can't get out to the Internet

Here’s my problem… After my previous router died, I recently installed a Netgear wireless router (WGT624NA) with 128-bit WEP security, and created a new wireless network. My Powerbook G4 found the network, and I was able to put in my WEP password, and everything seemed to work fine … for a while. In the last couple of days, I can’t get to any Internet sites.
I’m connected to the wireless network fine, with a strong signal level, and I seem to be able to Ping out. But when I try to go to (any) Internet site on Safari, I now get “Safari can’t connect to the server”. I’ve gone through the Network Setup Assistant, put in the correct WEP code, and after hitting “continue” from the “You’re now ready to try connecting… “ screen, get “Unable to establish a network connection”.
I seem to be connected, but can’t get out. Help.

Hi there,
A UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) is a battery back up, so if you power goes out you can finish up what you're working on and shut down normally.
I had a similar incident this week, power went out all computers, modem and router went out. After power was restored all started up fine and looked good. Wireless router showed I was connected to the internet but could not surf any site. I had changed my email account password several weeks earlier (email account provided by my ISP) and did not think this had anything to do my boradband connection, but I was wrong.
To make a long story short, I had to update the password as it related to my broadband connection. The connection was there, it just did not recognize my new password because I had changed it... If you control the account and you've changed any passwords associated with account yu will have to update or your landlord will have to update... make sense?

Connected to Airport Extreme but not internet

Yesterday after returning from work, all of a sudden I couldn't get any internet access through my airport extreme. I could connect to it and play music through "airtunes".
I looked at the settings of the airport BS and everything looked the way it should. After doing some trial and error I found out that I can get internet access through the airport BS when disabling "Distribute IP addresses".
However with Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can't get iTunes to connect to the airport allowing me to play music wirelessly through my stereo.
Anyway, here's my setup:
Airport:
Wireless mode: Create a wireless Network (Home Router)
Wireless security: WPA2 personal
Channel: Automatic
Create a closed network (checked)
Mode: 802.11g Only
Internet:
Configure: Using DHCP
Network:
Distribute IP addresses (checked)
Share a single IP address (using DHCP and NAT) checked
USE 10.0.1.1 addressing
With that setup I can play music through airtunes but not get any internet connection.
Distribute IP addresses unchecked, I can get internet access but not play music through airtunes.
Anybody has an idea what could be wrong?

Yes. Disable that. Using that may make you feel good but the MAC addresses are easily discovered and cloned. Instead use WPA with a non-dictionary password.

Connected to Airport Extreme but no Internet access

Weird deal.
Have an airport extreme coupled with an airport express for an extender.
Multiple devices - iMacs, macbook pros, iPhones etc.
Opened up a dell xps laptop and downloaded some files... Working fine.
Next thing, dell laptop is connected (or shows it is) to the airport extreme base station. However, it is showing no Internet access. On my iPhone or iMac, access is just fine. Pull up airport software and it shows the dell laptop connected too.
Idea on why dell cannot get through?
Maybe I should be on dell communities asking but thought I'd ask here first.

I was able to get the printer and my MacBook to resume communicating by reinstalling printer software and using the IP address for the printer during setup instead of using the printer name as before. I also can adjust the settings on my Airport utility app by clicking on configure other and entering the IP address for the base station and password. It still does not recognize the base station initially as it did before, but this is only an issue on my MacBook. If anyone knows how to get things to automatically recognize each other again I would be grateful to know how to fix this.

IPhone 6 Plus connects to Airport Extreme but not the internet

Light on my Airport Extreme is green and the Airport Utility on the iPhone 6 Plus shows that it's connected to the Airport, but not the internet. What the strange this is, I am still getting email and message notifications but just can't view them.
However the internet connection on both my iPad Air and Macbook Pro are working perfectly fine, and they are both connected to the same Airport Extreme.
The firmware on Airport is updated, I have tried to reset network settings and restarting the iPhone with no luck. Any suggestions on what to do?

Give me a screenshot of the working network IP setup on the MBP.
It should look like this. I need to see the IP address and you can also copy and paste for me the dns address.
The same thing from the iphone IP address and DNS will then help me figure out what is wrong.
If they both have an IP like 10.0.1.xx then the DNS or gateway (what apple calls router) has setup wrongly .. try setting manually with the same values exactly as the MBP.
If however the IP is something public like 200.100.2.100 and the other ipad is similar the Airport is setup wrongly in bridge and you have exhausted the available IP addresses so redo the setup of the Extreme so it is in router mode.

Mac mini will connect to AirPort Extreme, but not internet

I just picked up an AirPort Extreme and hooked it up. My Mac mini connects to the base station with no problem, but will not connect to the Internet. Wen using the airport utility it is an amber light next to Internet.
I am able to get my iPhone and iPad to connect correctly. They both show that they are connected to the base station and the Internet. No sure what I need to do on my Mac to get it working properly.
I'm running 10.8.2 on my Mac. APX is 5th gen.

have you configured your Airport extreme to provide addresses via DHCP?
If your WiFi settings are:
IPv4 Address: 10.0.1.4
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
DNS Server: 10.0.1.1
and WiFi is working with no problems
then having the same settings, just different IP address' last digit should work for Ethernet...
Have you connected the Ethernet cable to the computer as well as the Airport Extreme ?
Alternatively, you may change DNS server address to 8.8.8.8

After resetting my Airport Extreme, I can't get it to work! Please help!

Hey everyone!
I have an airport extreme base station (wireless n-gigabit ethernet) and awhile ago it stopped working on me. I simply reset my aebs and whenever I open airport utility and try and configure my aebs, it tells me I have an error and can't connect to the aebs. I have comcast internet service and my aebs is connected to my router. It's been working successfully for about a couple months and now it's stopped working. : (
I've tried this both in manual setup and the regular setup. I've gone through the trouble of doing a hard reset (pressing the reset button until it flashes amber), I've unplugged the power while holding the reset button, connecting my laptop with the aebs via ethernet, making sure everything is updated (and it is), resetting the router, and even reinstalled my airport utility disk.
Please help! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I also tried setting up my aebs on my neighbor's internet and it worked like a charm! Setting up aebs was as easy as when it first worked. Now if only I can get it to work on my internet...

"Connected" to the internet, but can't get on any websites or other pgms...

A couple nights ago, there was a blackout at my house. This happened while my iMac was on.
It connects using the Airport wireless modem to my landlord's router 3 stories up.
Since the blackout, I've been "connected" to his network, but haven't been able to get on any websites. Do I simply need him to reset his router, or is there a deeper problem? Thanks!
FWIW, this did happen very rarely before the blackout, but is now 100% of the time since....
Thanks for your help!

Can connect to Linksys WRT54G but can't get to the internet.

PowerBook G4 17" 1GHz with OS 10.5.4
Linksys WRT54G v8.00.5
SpeedStream DSL Modem
I am having a strange issue. I am able to connect to my wireless network with my PowerBook and can see the Linksys setup page, but I cannot get on the internet. If I bypass the router I can get online with my PowerBook. If I use an ethernet cable connected to my Linksys I can get online with my PowerBook. My Sony Viao can connect wirelessly and get on the internet with no issue. My PlayStation 3 and PSP have no issues. It is solely this machine that is having the issue. I contacted Linksys and went through their troubleshooting to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea as to what the issue may be, or what I can try to resolve this issue? I have done everything I can think of and no luck. Any ideas?

I plugged the IP address into Safari and, although there were 27 errors, the page loaded. I hadn't tried that before. Interesting.
The fact that the ping worked means you are connected to the Internet, and what is likely failing (causing the "You are not connected" message) is DNS name resolution.
DNS name resolution is what converts names like "www.opendns.com" to numbers, like the numbers I gave above, 208.67.219.99.
Changing your system to use the OpenDNS DNS servers, as directed above, will fix the name resolution issue on your system.

Just installed airport card but can't get a solid signal

a few weeks ago an electrical storm blew out my ehternet port. i consulted a mac genius at the apple store and decided to avoid replacing my logic board by getting an airport card and wireless router. After installing this business last night i was delighted to see full bars on the signal icon. but then it instantly dropped to two bars. then none. then a few minutes later back to two, full, none, etc. My computer and the wireless router are pretty much right next to eachother- i'm not splitting the cable between my machine and anything else (no other computers, not the tv). can anyone suggest what might be causing the signal problem? there's a major heatwave, would that cause problems? also, should i have looked into getting an aditional ethernet card instead? i'm desparately trying to avoid taking my machine out of my house (it's a desktop and i live in Queens so it's a b-tch to take into the city) so i'm really hoping to make this wireless buisness work. thanks so much!

j9fleri, Welcome to the discussion area!
One (or more) of the following must be true:
The antenna wire isn't properly attached to the AirPort card. Is this the original AirPort card or the AirPort Extreme card? If it is the AirPort Extreme card, use the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card to verify that the antenna wire is properly installed.
You are experiencing some sever RF interference. See KB 58543, AirPort: Potential sources of interference.
The wireless router isn't working properly.

Installed airport extreme now can't get to Hotmail or MSN..

I use a Linksys router and I can access the rest of the web no problem from my Mac, just not Hotmail or MSN. Tried deleting and re-installing Messenger to no avail. I should add I can get to Hotmail and MSN no problem using my other computer (Sony vaio) on the same wireless network.
So is it a Hotmail problem or something to do with the airport extreme card? do I need to do something with the ports? before I used to use cable modem with the Mac, and hotmail, Messenger etc worked no problem.
Thanks for any ideas

Imac G4 (dome base thingy) Mac OS X (10.3.9) aiport extreme card, airport express

Please can anyone help? I have spent hours trying to fix this. Is it likely to be a problem with the way I configured the card when I installed it? An encryption problem? I have no problems with access to any other websites from the same Mac.
Please...
Otherwise I suppose I will have to change email host...
