Technophobe needs help re internet connection

Hi, just bought an IMac and I'm looking to set up wireless broadband, I have all the kit wireless Router, ISP provider in place but I'm just basically struggling.
The CD Rom I have to install the kit provided by my ISP halts itself and displays the following message
Macromedia flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation, it highlights a local application trying to communicate with this internet enabled location and advises me to change my settings?
This is probably really basic but as I said I'm a technophobe and I'm lost and the help pages I've looked at so far don't offer me any solace I'm afraid.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use a web browser to configure the router.
Use the instructions on this page.

Need help sharing internet connection between pc and mac using airport

Hello
I have a PC with an internal modem that connects to the internet via 3g+. it's got wi-fi as my macbook.
i want to share the internet connection of the pc via wifi (using what is called an "ad hoc" connection ( a pc to pc network)) so that the mac can connect to the pc (via wifi) and use its internet connection.
i've already tried a bunch of things but they don't work, can someone help me or tell me where i can find a GOOD guide to do this? (i've already looked around but i haven't found anything that works)
thanks

Hi. I'm not sure if this helps, but I just found a nice way to do it the other ways around (share the internet from your mac with your pc).
See: http://echeng.com/journal/2009/07/06/encrypted-internet-sharing-between-mac-os-a nd-windows-xp/
Specifically, step 4 and 6 are crucial!:
1. In Mac OS X, enable Internet Sharing to computers using Airport
2. In AirPort Options, select 128-bit WEP encryption and enter a 13-character password
3. In Windows, add a new wireless network
4. Enter the SSID and select WEP encryption with Shared Network Authentication (not Open)
5. Uncheck “The key is provided automatically” and enter the 13-character password
6. In the Authentication tab, be sure that “Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication” is unchecked
The main idea is that MAC-WEP and PC-WEP are not quite the same, so this tweak makes them line up. Perhaps you can do it the other way around from PC to MAC by sort of reversing the idea?
Hope that helps you!

HT1657 Do i need to have internet connection to watch a rented movie

If I download a rental movie from iTunes do I need to have Internet connection to be able to watch the movie? I frequently travel on Northlink ferries and would like to be able to watch a movie but they internet/3G disappears soon after the ferry has left port?

iTunes Store Movie Rental FAQ - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657
After downloading a rented movie, do I need Internet connection to watch it? - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17114214 - No, you don't need a connection.
Do you have to have an internet connection to watch a rented movie from itunes? - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17934850 - Yes, you do need a connection.
Internet connection for rented movies? - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13361498 - No, you do not need a connection.
Can you watch a rented movie without internet connection? - https://discussions.apple.com/message/12857284
Nobody has come up with a definitive answer. It seems you have to start watching a rented movie with an Internet connection so it can start the 24 hour timer, but after that you can continue to watch it.

Need help unable to connect to the internet, ETHERNET not working, assigned IP address how to fix it on ethernet

I am unable to connect my imac to the internet. I tried to connect direct to the ETHERNET, and I am having ip address assigned problem on ethernet and also on my airport extreme, it said no internet connection or no DNS server. Please help . My internet provider is brighthouse and I just have a technician guy come to check it out and they can't fix it either.

Backup everything. Note that a bootable backup/clone is optimum. Then, reinstall the unnamed OS.

Lynksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router - Help needed to share internet connection from PC to home network

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out with a problem I have:
I am currently connecting my PC to a mobile phone as a Wireless Access Point to give that PC access the internet. I also have a small home network, with one other PC and a Game Console. I own a Linksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router. My problem is this. How do I share that internet connection with the rest of the home network?
To the best of my knowledge its not possible to connect my mobile phone directly to my Linksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router, although if anyone has any ideas how to do this I'd love to hear!
So my alternative idea is to connect to the internet via one PC, set up that internet connection as "Shared." and then allow the other devices on the home network to connect thru this. My question is how do I set up my Linksys E900 Wireless-N300 Router to allow my other PC and game console connect to the internet? Bridge Mode? PPPoE? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! PS: both PC's are running on Windows 8

I have Cisco Linksys E900 router. I want to make my home Wi-Fi zone. But I don’t have Static IP. One more thing is that Service provider have web page Authentication. I have username and pass.
I am able to make SSID and security for my WI-FI LAN. I can use internet on one device. If I tried from second device again it’s asking me for username and password. While login it’s showing your first session in not logout. (Means I have to logout from 1st device and have to login on 2nd device.)
Is there any option that I can Use my all devices at same time?

HElp, i need to open internet connect

Hi...
You will need a data plan from At&t or a carrier.
What is the cost from Tiger in Miami?

Help with internet connection please????

I am currently running 2 iMacs on Mountain Lion, one iMac Mavericks, iPad Air, 2 iPad minis, iPad 2 , 4 iPhones, Apple TV and an Xbox One in my home. I also have a time capsule and an airport Express and an Ethernet switch.
We recently had an internet switch to LTE from WBBI. Our internet worked great on the WBBI but since switching to LTE, it has been a nightmare for ALL devices. The internet connection is continually disconnecting. I have tried using the Time Capsule as a bridge, taking the Time Capsule and Airport Express out of the equation all together, rebooting, rerouting, you name it and no success.
My internet service provider put a trace on my line and found it was working normally. No one else in my area seems to have any problems but they are running pcs. This is the only internet available where I live. When using our personal hotspots, everything works like a dream but since we are running a business, a 10Gb data cap per month just won't cut it should we choose to go strictly to hotspots for internet. Lol!
The current router is a Huawei For LTE. Devices wired in and on the wifi network are affected the same. The Internet technicians switched out some equipment concerned that there may be a hardware problem and their PC laptop worked perfectly. I am beginning to believe it an apple issue. I have been fighting this for 2 months and cannot find a solution.
Help?

Does the Xbox work? It is not Apple equipment. That is to say, remove ALL other equipment from the "Huawei For LTE" and JUST attach the Xbox. Does that work flawlessly? If it also fails, it is not Apple equipment, and you need to hound your ISP to get this fixed. Have them prove it work using equipment they bring, and then when they say, yea, it work, have them try your Macs.
If the Xbox works, then disconnect everything (including your switch). Now using an Ethernet cable connect 1 Mac. Can you get that to work? If no, try the other Mac. If not to both Macs, then your ISP is rather hostile to Mac Actually, check your System Preferences -> Network Settings. Assuming you have the original "Automatic" settings, that should be as standard as it comes. You might try adding System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> DHCP Client ID -> aSimpleUniqueName (long shot to see if it makes the LTE provided router happy).

Help with Internet connection (WRT54G)

Hopefully someone has some helpful advice to my question.
I'm not too sure where my problem is. I think it's in the modem, but could be the router (less likely as explained).
I recently set up to open a few ports (I dont remember the exact #s) through port forwarding for Warcraft III. To do so, you need to set up a custom IP for your connection through 192.168.1.1xx. I did all this and was happy to see that I could now host online games for Warcraft III. Fast forward to a week ago (I probably turned my desktop on about 3 times between the first time of opening ports and from successful uses until now) and I am unable to connect to any sort of Internet, [b]on my desktop only[/b]. My 3 laptops I have work just fine, but my desktop will not connect. I'm not a computer dummy (but no computer expert either, I know my stuff) and have tried everything I could think of between setting up static IPs (192.168.1.99 is a static IP I do believe?) to obtaining IP addresses automatically to turning off the router and modem, etc. and nothing. I am unable to even get to 192.168.1.1 to try and change my past changes and see if that would work. Because of that, I'm at a loss.
Hopefully someone here will be able to help me. I can still access everything on my desktop, there's just simply no internet connection.
Thanks in advance

there seems to be consistant issues with Linksys routers according to all the posts ive been reading for the past month while i try to fix my on and off again internet connection. its becomming very annoying. i have asked my cable company to replace my modem, which they did and that didn't even help. last year i bought a new linksys router thinking it would solve my problem back then. it did for a while, then my lap top wouldn't connect any, so i sent it into have it checked and it came back with no problems. soooooooooo apparently, while i am connected to my neighbors open connection from his BELKIN ROUTER and even though the signal is very weak............amazingly enough!! i am still online while typing this.......funny eh?? WELL........it seems to me......that i guess i wont be buying linksys anything anymore. Especially after spending hours on the help line (INDIA) trying to reset channels and reset the router box itself. i give up.......i have 2 pieces of crap routers for sale cheap......any takers? dont waste your time.

Does AppleTV need a constant internet connection?

Do you need to be connected to the Internet via Airport all the time for Apple TV to work at all?
I have TV shows recorded on Ice TV and then exported to iTunes.
I connected to the Internet initially to set up the AppleTV device and was able to watch a show but now it connects to the network but either doesn't see the iTunes library or has a spinning wheel for AGES and then says to turn on Home Sharing but it IS turned on!

in the home sharing support page it says that a wifi or ethernet connected to a home network with an active internet connection is needed in order for home sharing to work.
if there is a way around this i would really like to know... i posted a thread 4 days and askd if a network is needed (wifi or wired) for an apple tv 2 to work. and the replies i received confirmed that i need to have an internet connection for the apple tv 2 to work.
as for for "winstons" question. my entire itunes library is stored on a nas drive connected to my airport extreme. i have no problem in streaming "content" ie movies, music & photo's to my apple tv 2. in fact it has worked flawlessly for the last 6 months that i have had my apple tv 2.
i also was hoping that an active internet connection wasn't needed in order for my apple tv 2 to work, so i disconnected the modem from my router to see if i could still stream content to my apple tv... the apple tv could see my library on the nas drive but could not access it. once reconnected the modem it worked again. so if there is a way around having an active internet connection in order for the apple tv 2 to work i would like to know myself.
thank you

Beginner needs help running internet from Airport to Airport.

My fathers laptop has the internet running through ethernet connection. i want to be able to the internet to run through the airport card to my apple mac upstairs which has airport card too.
Now ive set up a serve and both computers are reconizing each other, on the internet connect it says computer to computer. When i check the internet status the airport card on my fathers mac gives a green signal but the computer upstairs has a yellow signal. i cant seem to share the internet connection. what am i doing wrong?.

It sounds like you need to either disable the firewall on your father's Mac or open port 443 on the firewall on the AirPort side. A tool like WaterRoof might make it easier.
The longer you use this setup the more of these issues you will discover. That is why I recommend that you get an inexpensive wireless router and eliminate all of these issues.

I need help configuring a connection with asdm 5.2 for asa

Hi All
I am very much a novice with asdm 5.2 for asa and I urgently need to configure a connection but don’t know how to. I have 2 domains at work and someone is trying to connect their sql client from their pc in one domain to the sql server in the other domain (DMZ).
When he tries to connect he gets the error
Cant connect to MySql Server at "IP Address" (10060)
He is trying to connect on port 3306. Could anyone please give me any tips on how i can resolve this quickly? I know i am
trying a shortcut on this one but I recently started a new job and thrown in the deep end here and need to learn this asdm 5.2 for asa product from scratch with nothing more than the manual that come with the cd . My Cisco knowledge is from 2001 when i did half of a ccna course.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
I'm not a security specialist but here is how I had it set up at home:
Essentially a NAT and a rule forwarding the port are needed. In this particular case I had an Oracle server running and a person requested remote access. So, for example, the source address was his external IP and the destination was the Oracle's external IP. For the NAT the source was the internal IP of the Oracle server and the interface was Outside.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
