Tiger: no connnection to internet via DLink usb adapter

Hi, I was reading the thread about no internet with a DLink router earlier this year; i have a problem with my DLink adapter to get connected to the internet. Would anybody know how to fix this; it supposed to be plug n play; but it seems this needs a little bit more attention.
[Have belkin wireless router plus cabled network upstairs; downstrairs my mac needs to be wireless via the dlink usb bluetooth adaptor.]
Hope someone can help me out!

Bluetooth does not hook up to Airport. Depending on your iMac model you may need an original airport card or Airport or Airport Extreme card to hook up to the wireless router. Bluetooth is for use with cell phones, wireless keyboards, and mice and not used for internet access unless over the cell phone.
To find out which Airport Card you need, see this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86258
If you find your iMac is not Airport Extreme compatible, this thread I posted
several sites where you can buy the original Airport Card:

  • No Internet w/ WRT54G & USB Adapter

    Hey all, I have a problem. It seems that I cannot get onto the Internet from Vista, but I can via XP.
    I currently use a wireless connection, with a modem provided by my ISP (Verizon, Actiontec GT704WG modem) and a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router (WRT54G) with a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter (came with WRT54G.)
    My broadband router is all fine and everything, it's just that when I try to install the software for the USB Network Adapter, there's a lot of glitches during the CD set-up and it just stops right in the middle of the installation. I have to manually go into the Device Manager 'thingy' and install my drivers from there, because the set-up CD does not finish installing the drivers & files. The broadband router is all fine, but my USB Network Adapter has problems during the install and the Network Adapter is what I need most importantly.

    I get that every time I try to install the drivers from the Device Manager. The 'Unknown Device' is my USB Network Adapter, which I need if I want to access the internet.
    My current connection:

    Ok, well I did a clean install of Vista and I installed the drivers for the USB Network adapter from the Device manager, and they work. But now that I've got that installed, I can't access the internet. It says "Limited Connectivity" but I-- Take a look:

    When I try and use the Network Diagnostics, I get this:
    http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/7755/diagnosticsul0.jpg
    I chose the first option, and entered the CORRECT key, i still get that Diagnostic picture. When I choose the second option, new IP address, I get this:

    On that menu, I tried the last option, but to no avail.
    What can I do to stop getting this "Limited or No Connectivity" thing? I'd like to get my internet access, but that keeps on happening.

  • Internet Sharing:  Palm Device can't find Internet via USB to Imac G5

    None of the internet-using applications on my Palm Tungsten E handheld can find the internet, via a USB connection from the Palm to my Imac G5 and its high speed internet connection.
    I have 3rd party software (The Missing Sync 5 from Mark/Space) that is supposed to enable a USB-connected Palm device to share an OS X Mac's internet connection. But I'm not getting beyond the Mac and I think either something on the Imac or perhaps my Linksys router is blocking internet communication to and from the Palm device.
    Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes, neither my Palm's web browser nor its mail program can get through to the internet and all I get are communications errors.
    I would greatly appreciate suggestions as to what to try next as I have done just about everything I can think of to try to get this Palm to access the internet via the Mac
    IMAC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   750 Mb RAM

    Hello Adrian - thank you for your suggestions. The USB-connected PALM does NOT show up in The Imac's "Network Ports" - - and the only thing I could add, as a port, that was not already there, was something called "6 to 4" -whatever that is.
    The Palm is supposed to be able to get its internet page requests out onto my router and DSL line via the Mac's ethernet port when: A) this Palm is connected to the Mac via USB and B) when the Internet sharing feature is enabled in a software app called - The Missing Sync, which it is, and when C) Internet Sharing is turned on in the Mac 'Sharing' pref. All these conditions are true, but sadly none of the internet apps on the Palm can find the internet .
    I suspect a DNS issue - even though my router of course knows the DNS addresses of my ISP.
    I should think that the PALM and the host Mac would have the same IP address - namely the one assigned via DHCP by my router when the Mac boots up.
    Very frustrating....
    I know nothing about Palms but I'll give it a
    shot...
    You say "Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and
    enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes",
    are you seeing a USB option in the window? If so
    select it.
    If not try going to System Preferences>Network>Show:
    Network Port Configurations. (This with the Palm
    plugged in via USB).
    Is it in that window? If it is tick it and go back to
    internet sharing and select it in that window. (It
    should have now appeared).
    If it's not in System Preferences>Network>Show:
    Network Port Configurations; select 'New', and click
    'Port'. Does it appear in the drop-down list there?
    If it does, select it, name it and click OK. (Note:
    USB isn't a 'normal' option here but maybe your
    Missing Sync will have added it..?)
    That will take you back to the main Network Port
    Config window where you tick it if it isn't already.
    Then go back to Sharing>Internet to see if is
    available there. If is is, tick it.
    If it isn't, don't know. Sorry.
    Have fun!
    Adrian

  • Is there a fix for 'share internet' via ethernet?

    As of a few months ago, there was a known bug in 'share internet' - it would not work with ethernet.  This is the case on my system (OS X 10.8.2).  Internet sharing works properly with wifi but not at all via ethernet. 
    Has anything been done about this?  Or has Apple decided that it no longer supports ethernet connections?
    Has anyone found a workaround.
    thanks

    I should have been a little clearer.  I have a mac that connects to the internet via a usb modem (from Verizon).  I want to connect two other machines to the internet via this connection, and one does not have a wifi board, so I need to connect to via ethernet.  "Internet sharing" has "ethernet" as an option but it does not appear to work. Checking it doesn't yield any error message but the machine that is connected via ethernet cannot access the internet.
    As a test, I've tried this with a mac pro both ways.  It works with wifi, but not with ethernet.

  • Connect N96 to internet via Laptop by Wi-Fi

    Hi,
    I have a laptop connected to internet via ADSL USB Modem, there is a wi-fi network created on the laptop that I use to connect an other laptop to the internet. When I connect my N96 to that network, everything works great exept when trying to access a web site, it says "General: Feature not supported!". Is that kind of connection not supported or what ?!

    On what OS? Did you enable Internet Connection Sharing and http browsing in the advanced settings of ICS? This is a nice app for W7.

  • Xperia Z1, Problem with OTG and Sony PS3 Headset Pulse USB Adapter

    Hi, I did a bit of testing, with headphones Sony PS3 Wireless Headset Pulse , I state that both the adapter and the Sony Pulse Headphones work perfectly on PC and PS3 via the USB adapter , then connect the adapter via USB OTG connection on the Sony Xperia Z1 . With much regret I noticed that the connection between the USB adapter and headphones was established , but the audio was transmitted jerky and scratchy . So I decided to try again via USB OTG headphones Logitech F540 (again, via USB OTG, not via audio jack) , and with much enthusiasm I noticed a connection quick and efficient , without cawing and smoothly ; clear sound as if they were of the headphones connected directly to the Audio Jack with wire . I then decided to try another pair of headphones USB (for PC) , the Creative HS -1200 , connecting via the USB OTG adapter receiver headphones ( ie the same thing I did with Sony and the Logitech ) ; also in this case the Creative Wireless Headphones have received the sound from the USB receiver , without any problem or distortions . Now I want to understand how it might work all this variety of USB devices not Made by Sony , connected via the OTG port , but do not work Devices Made By Sony ? You can solve this problem with the Firmware right?
    The firmware installed in my Xperia Z1 is 14.1.G.1.534 .
    The OTG cable is fully functional with a multitude of devices (USB HD 2.5 Inch, USB pendrive, USB Audio, USB Mouse and keyboard).
    For your info, I already tried to connect the OTG, to a powered USB 2.0 HUB, and on the HUB USB, connect the adapter from Sony and the result is one and the same. The USB adapter will light as the Sony Z1 directly connected to the OTG, but the sound from the speakers gets crackling and jerky. I tried to connect the USB adapter of Sony headphones, and then connect the cable from USB jack to the audio jack of Z1, and of course the audio works perfectly, because it bypasses the USB audio sent by Z1, going to use the 'Jack audio input, and using the USB Headset adapter (Sony Pulse) as a simple transmitter.
    Thank you to anyone reply to this.
    Edit: i have try with samsung S3 and Samsung S4 with OTG and the Sony HeadSet Pulse work fine with the USB Dongle. The problem is on the firmware audio of the Xperia Z1.

    Two possibility 
    The driver is not right
    Or the second i know and it's not possible to fix  , they can happen on any audio device with any pc or other host
    You can try your headset over a usb hub with a extern power source and connect the usb hud on your phone ,  if this not continu it's a power problem with the usb port
    Sometime a usb port cannot provide suffisent power and that affect the audio or any data transfer , a usb hub provide on each port the power they need so when you cronnect your headset that give the good power to him
    Few friends know this issue with a variety of device 
    One use one device on each port on his pc and there happen the pc cannot provide suffisent power for his headset , I suggest to use the minimal on his usb port and he don't have the problem , I suggest to buy a usb port power by an external source and that fixed the problem
    If his your problem no update can fix that for fixing you need a Y cable to give more power to the usb port of your celphone and using a external power source (portable charging , solar panel custom 5v usb port with AA batterie)

  • Why can I only connect to the internet using my IPhone 5S 4G via a USB and not wirelessly?

    Apologies if I'm not using the right jargon ... I have a laptop (Dell Latitude D510 - Windows 7 Ultimate) that can connect to my Mobile Broadband wirelessly no problem but I can't utilise my IPhone's 4G connection (iOS 7.0.5) unless I use the USB cable (my personal hotspot is also on). I can't connect wirelessly to my personal hotspot without the USB cable. It keeps saying Windows is unable to connect to my IPhone. I have tried to troubleshoot this myself but can't find an obvious problem. Interestingly I could only connect via my USB when I downloaded the ITunes program as my computer failed to recognise my IPhone. Furthermore, I have a Dell Alienware laptop which has no problems connecting to my IPhone either way - USB or wirelessly (also has ITunes downloaded). I've searched the Internet forums for an answer on but I can't find one. Can anyone help? Thanks if you can.

  • Can't connect macbook to internet via usb

    I connect to the internet via the ethernet connection when i'm away at college and that works perfectly. But when I try to connect up at home via the usb connection from our broadband it doesn't recognise any internet connection.
    Do I need to change settings or something like that?

    Jsut to clarify: Are you able to access the router's Administration UI from a browser on the server itself? If so, that rules out a configuration issue (at least with the type of link) with the computer and the router. Are other computers attached to the router able to get online at the same time? What DNS servers is the Windows Server 2008 machine using?

    I want to share my internet connection with my iPhone via the usb cable. I have a Macbook pro. What do you think? Is this possible? And if yes, then how?
    If not why option available
    Thanks!

    What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
    Best of luck.

  • Nokia 3230 unable to connect to internet via USB c...

    when i use CA-53 cable to connect to internet using nokia pc suite7.0.8.2 (one touch access) an error message pops up "unable to connect to the speified device make sure the modem is configured properly" but i can easily connect to internet via bluetooth   other functions like file manager , contacts , messages and back up can be accessed by using the CA-53 cable

    I called a vw dealership (in South Australia) today because I have an iphone5 and a Tiguan and experienced the same thing (after i had purchased the lightening/30pin adapter).
    I was advised that the media interface software is not compatible with iphone5.  VW will eventually update the software according to ol'mate at the dealership, but it will be at an expense to the consumer allegedly.
    I know that there is a iphone/vw media cable one can purchase from VW however, I believe this to only work with iphone4 or older?
    Maybe try an older generation ipod to use for the car if all ur music is in itunes?
    if anyone can correct me, I'd be more than happy to know... going to try my older generation ipad and see if there is any truth to the tale.... eventually.  Until then i'll stream via bluetooth :-)

  • Trying to connect to internet via rokair wireless usb adapter

    I have a graphite clamshell ibook g3. I got it in 2000 and it did the job for me back then. it was great. In 2005 I upgraded the os to 10.3. now i would just like to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (to linksys cisco router for comcast) to do simple things online, nothing fancy. rather than pay for an airport card (which it didnt come with) and hub, i just bought a rokair usb adapter. My ibook only has 1 usb port and its indented so the rokair people sent me a 1ft usb 2.0 wire to attach to the adapter. Ive installed the driver for os 10.3 but the computer does not recognize the usb adapter. Its still giving me as "internal modem" and "built-in ethernet" as my only options in the network folder. Is the computer not recognizing the USB 2.0? IS it even possible to upgrade this computer to acknowledge this type of USB?
    Thanks

    saltyspicegirl, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Your iBook has USB 1.1. That adapter appears to be backward compatible with USB 1.1 so that shouldn't be a problem.
    You probably should contact their support to see if they can offer any suggestions.

  • My airport network will not connect to to the internet via my modem. My host computer is a hp running windows xp. I have had great connection for 3 years. Then suddenly can not connect. Please can you assist

    My airport will not connect to the internet via my modem. Worked for 3 years. Suddenly stopped. Main host computer is hp running windows xp.
    When trying to connect windows states connection was cancelled. I have had hp checked by compputer repair and still have same problem?

    The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
    Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
    Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
    If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

    If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.
