T60p can no longer connect to the network

Greetings,
In an effort to reduce hacking on my laptop, I configured server access restrictions at the BIOS level. In any case, I was left without the ability to connect to ANY network. Ethernet, WiFi, USB WAN prepaid access card.
I then relaxed all BIOS restrictions and after that, I can connect to a WiFi Network however, I still can´t browse.
After getting advice from a couple of friends, I:
1. Uninstalled the Norton Firewall (which was apparently active but which I have not bought)
2. Disabled the Microsoft Firewall and made sure the only active firewall was McAffee (which I am licensed for)
3. Restored the McAfee Firewall setting to default values.
Now, I can connect to a WiFi Network, and, I can see down to packets being sent and received. IPCONFIG does reply with valid Gateway, Subnet mask and local IP addresses. However, I cannot ping sites like www.microsoft.com .
So, everything indicates that I am connected and yet I cannot surf either with IE or Opera...
Any clues? The local Lenovo support people have still not returned my calls.... Any help would be appreciated.
Jean-Pierre

Ethernet MAC address has changed and I can no longer connect to the network

I have a new iMac, 21.5" running 10.6.4. It was purchased in the past month.
I am using it on an ethernet network and using DHCP to obtain the address. It has been working for the past few weeks. I turned it on today and it is failing to connect. After some digging around, it seems that the MAC address (Ethernet ID) has been reset to 00:10:18:00:00:00. This is different to the one it has been using last week.
I have not changed any network settings. Airport is working fine.
If I pull out the ethernet cable and reinsert, the machine tries to obtain an IP address. After a while, it returns with a self-assigned IP Address.
Last week, I did notice that it was taking a relatively long time (a minute or so) to obtain the IP address over ethernet. Plugging the same ethernet cable in a macbook, I am able to obtain the IP address for the macbook much more quickly.
I see that I could use ipconfig to change the interface address to what I believe is the correct address. Would this be sensible?
Why would the machine have reset the MAC address anyway?
Regards,
Neil

Dear all,
I am having the same problem with a new MacBook Pro, bought end of October - for me it became apparent for software (Matlab, Comsol) that are registered with a licence file which was created based on the MAC address, and also when trying to register the computer to the company network. That software will only work those times that the computer "knows" its real MAC. Also, I found that audible audio books, managed through itunes, will not synchronize with the ipod at those times when the MAC address is at the producer's default (00:10:15:00:00). I never had network issues other than this computer registration, - no probs at home or elsewhere - , so it will depend on the individual setup which issue users observe.
I have had long phone discussions with different Apple support people, they have done checks based on Capture Data that I sent to them via email, etc.. They can't find the problem in the software/setup and they advised me to go the Genius Bar and have those guys look at the computer's guts.
Restarting sometimes did set the MAC to the real one, also running the code that someone suggested in Terminal sometimes helped.
Other than that, looking through the web, it does not seem to be an Apple-unique problem, but certainly one would like to see support to take care of that issue for Macs soon.
Also, thanks a lot for this thread! Otherwise the support guys on the phone would not have believed my : "the Mac address changes on a daily basis" and would just have brushed me off.
All the best,
Susanne

I can no longer connect to the available wi fi networks with my ipad 1

For some reason I can no longer connect to the available wi-fi networks with my ipad...help

If no change after powering your iPad off and on and/or after a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release, try resetting network settings on your iPad at Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will erase all saved wi-fi network settings from your iPad. This will require rejoining every wi-fi network your iPad has access to when returning within range of such a network.
If no change after this, try restoring your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after restoring as a new iPad, your iPad has a hardware problem.

Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable. Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable.
I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that. Strangely, it works.
My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
Sorry, if my sentences are confusing. I have a terrible headache at the moment. While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health.
BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment. I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either. What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone? Thanks in advance.
Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection".
Solved!

Hi,
I am so much tierd by trying to connect my phone to pc.
I have nokia 5800,and I used to connect my phone to PC by USB cable.

when I connect phone to pc,notification comes up that phone connected via ovi suit,but within a minute or 2,
"porable device" icon disappears from the task bar in the right hand corner,so connection could not proceed further.
Please help me in this asap.
I had tried following already:
1.format my PC
2.Installed new ovi suit
now please give me a proper solution on that.
thank you.

IMac Can No Longer Connect to the Internet

My parents use a 2006 Intel Core Duo iMac (the 17", 1.83GHz model) running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). They typically connect to the internet using a wireless network set up using an Airport Extreme with RCN as their ISP.
As of yesterday, the computer can no longer connect to the internet, while all other computers in the house, both Mac and PC, still can. I've tried power cycling the modem and the router, connecting using ethernet, and connecting the computer directly into the modem. Thus far, none of these attempts have succeeded. I've taken a look at the network settings for the computer and while networking is most certainly my thing I wasn't able to detect a change. As a last ditch attempt I tried using Google's public DNS service, rather than RCN's default, but that made no difference, so I've reverted it.
I realize that the information available in this thread is almost certainly too little to guess at what the problem might be, but I'm more than happy to fetch information that might be helpful in finding a solution.
Thanks for taking the time to read the problem; hopefully there's an obvious solution.

"Drive is dead????" what in this thread gives you that idea? What card might be failing?
Agent: do you have any Input Managers (might be called Input Methods) either in the Home Folder/Library or in the HD/Library (not /System/Library.)
Yes, do try another Account and test for this there.
I know you've already tried Google DNS, but try OpenDNS
You don't need to go to the OpenDNS site to use OpenDNS. Simply open Network>Advanced>DNS in Sys Prefs and enter the following numbers for the interface you use, e.g. Airport or Ethernet,
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Hit OK and then Apply. Make sure those numbers are entered above any others you may have there.
To check to see if it's working

Can no longer connect to my network and 'forget network' option has disappeared??

Can no longer connect to my network and "forget network" option has disappeared??? (Ipod touch 5th generation). This happened on both my children's ipods. We have reset network settings but it doesn't help.

JEM24 , your suggestion is included in:
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

Sorry Mindi, also have your tried rebooting your router? That's all. Try that before you attempt to Restore. Cheers.

With verson 12.01.26 my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match

After downloading iTunes version 12.01.26 on my PC my iTunes can no longer connect to the iTunes store or iTunes Match. My itunes displayed a message at the top that it was connecting to the iTunes Store. After closing my laptop and opening it again after a few hours, there was a message stating that my computer was unable to connect to iTunes because of a problem with my internet connection. My laptop is connecting fine with the internet, yet not through the iTunes program, or at least it seems that way. I'm not positive but feel like the issue may have stemmed when I downloaded the new version, I think maybe I messed up the process somehow by closing my computer or something.

Unknown error -3212. I updated to iTunes 11.4. I can no longer connect to the Store.

I updated to iTunes 11.4 when prompted. I can no longer connect to the Store. Tried all troubleshooting, checked Firewall, and my internet connection is fine. I re-downloaded iTunes and selected the "repair" radio button. Still has not resolved "unknown error occurred (-3212)". Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Hey there ILSquid,
It sounds like you have checked your firewall settings, and your internet connection but cannot get to the iTunes Store with your iTunes application and you get this error number 3212. I would look over the troubleshooting in the following article to see what steps have yet to be done. Infact I would recommend doing the troubleshooting sequentially from top to bottom.

If you still cannot get to the iTunes Store there is a more advanced troubleshooting article with more to try, here:

How can I deauthorize a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

How can I deauthorize Itunes on a computer that can no longer connect to the internet or is no longer working ?

You can't, which shouldn't be a problem unless you have 4 other computers authorized with the iTunes account and you need to authorize another.
Once you have authorized 5 computers, you can de-authorize all computere from a computer that is currently authorized followed re-authorizing the current active computers that need to be authorized.

WRT54G ver. 6 can no longer connect to the internet after reset

I reset my WRT54G ver. 6 to clear the password, and now I can no longer connect to the internet with it. I can see the router itself from my PC, but that is all. I've followed the directions here for connection problems, but I can't seem to get an IP Address for it in the Web Configuration tool. Anybody have any thoughts?

Since you reset your router, you need to reconfigure it back again. try the online utility that automates the configuration. download Easy Link Connect utility at www.linksys.com/connect then download "Netset" and follow instructions.
if not Easy Link connect didnt work then you need to do the configuration manually.
1. check physical connection modem should be connected wired to internet port of the router then PC to numbered ports of the router.
2. Brighthouse i believe is cable connection, right? try power cycle your devices (turn off modem and router then turn on modem 1st then router next). check if your online.
3. if not. check PC ip. click "start" then "run" type in "cmd" then press "OK". the command prompt should pop-up. type "ipconfig" and check IP and gateway. you should be getting an ip: 192.168.1.x and gateway: 192.168.1.1
4. access router. open IE, then type in http://192.168.1.1 on address bar.
5. you will be prompted with username and PW. "admin" is the default password. on setup, just below are subtabs. select "MAC address clone". in it, set "mac clone" to "enable" then click on "clone" then "save settings".
6. power cycle devices again. try to go online
note: if you dont have latest firmware. try updating if needed
