Trouble getting internet connection

Hi, lately, I've been having trouble connecting to the internet. What will happen is, it will only read the network on and off (sometimes it reads it, sometimes it doesn't), and when I do get a signal, it's pretty weak. Even if I click linksys from the top bar, it will try to connect for a few seconds, then just stop trying and now connect. However, when I'm closer to the router, it works fine.
It's almost as if the signal is just barely reaching my computer, but I know that isn't the case because my PS3 gets perfect internet connection at both of my houses in the same location as my computer, so it must be the computer.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

I haven't tried anything really, except for powering everything down and back up.
But like I said, I've had the exact same problems at different locations with different routers. It's not the router(s), it's my computer, it's the exact same problem no matter where I try it, I'm also not getting a signal from next door (which I always get) unless I go outside near the next door neighbor's house. Unless I'm extremely close to a base, I usually won't pick up a signal, although sometimes I randomly will for a few minutes.

How to get internet connection from Airport Express to a PC?

I recently bought an Airport Express to get internet connection from my new MAC COMPUTER TO ANOTHER PC which is located in another room. For unknown reason, I could not get the other PC to work. Any idea how to fix it so that I can get internet connection for my PC? Many thanks for your expert assistance.

Currently, the Airport Express (not the Airport Express Extreme router) is acting as a base station via Ethernet to a cable modem.
I guess that it would be correct to assume that your new Mac can connect wirelessly to the AirPort Express base station, and access the Internet that way.
I am not sure if my 41/2 year old HP(Hewlect Packard) PC - (with AMD Athlon 64 3400 processor) which I am unable to get internet connection now is Wi-Fi capable.
You said "Prior to using the new Airport Express,I was using the Linksys wireless G router and have a wireless adapter sitting on top of my PC.". The wireless adapter would be Wi-Fi certified (they normally are). Is it a USB adapter? Please post back with the exact model.
Question: do I still need to use the adapter or not? Or the new Airport Express is enough to send internet signal to the PC?
A Wi-Fi adapter would act as a wireless network card for a PC, and should communicate wirelessly with an AirPort Express base station without a problem (providing that the chosen security/encryption is supported on both sides). Since the wireless adapter apparently was OK (with the Linksys router), you should be able to continue using it. Any other (built-in) wireless capability ought to be externally visible at the PC as a PCI card with an antenna.
Does the (Windows?) PC operating system detect any wireless networks? Is your AirPort Express on this list (even if you cannot connect or access the Internet)?

Getting internet connection error with Photoshop Elements 12

I have recently downloaded and installed Elements 12 on my windows 8 PC. When I try to open any image with Photoshop Elements 12 Editor, I am asked to Sign In. However, when I click on Sign In button, I get internet connection errror though I am connected to internet. At the same time, other apps on my PC are able to access internet.

Check to be sure that PSE is allowed through the firewall. Incidentally, you need to stay signed in once you get it connected. That's the PSE 12 equivalent of activation and signing out will deactivate your computer.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi. It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection. One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use. Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
Thanks.

Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5. Updates turn out to be incompatible with my system. What should I do short of trashing the wonderful computer and spending cash I don't have on a new iMac?

Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5 OSX 10.4.11. Attempts to upgrade FireFox or Safari results in being incompatible with with this system. Tried to locate earlier versions to replace upgraded incompatible software only to find that problems have worsened with crashing results. What should I do short of trashing this wonderful G5 and purchasing a new iMac which I really can't afford?
Chuck's Dilema

Hi Chuck,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
Also...
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Problem with not getting Internet Connect on AirPort Express

Problem with not getting Internet Connect on AirPort Express (version7.6.4). Error says cannot get valid IP address. Have reset Siemens SpeedStream 4100 several time, even with tech support from the big "A" DSL provider. Plug MacBook Pro directly into modem and works fine. Unplugged AirPort, even reset it, still no luck. A bad Express?? or am not looking in the right place to make connection. Was working fine up until Sunday.

Connect the AirPort Express (AX) to the cable modem via Ethernet cable.
In configuring the AX using AirPort Utility:
Under Internet, set the connection to be Ethernet using DHCP.
Under Connection Sharing, set it to distribute a range of IP addresses.
Under AirPort>Wireless, set the Wireless Mode to Create a wireless network, and fill in the remaining settings in the same window. Until you get it working, you might want to set Wireless Security to None.

Why can't I get internet connection while I am away from a WiFi connection?

Why can't I get internet connection while I am away from a WiFi connection?

Some more information other than why would help. Does your service provider allow cellular data on your plan? Do you have cellular data turned on? Are you in a area with cellular coverage?

I can't get a reliable wifi signal between my Airport Express in the office and Express in the house and i can't get a cable between the two. Any suggestions for getting internet connection in both buildings?

I need to get internet to both the house and my office, which is in a separate building approx 20m from the house. I was advised by Apple to buy an Airport Express, set it up on one or other building, and connect wirelessly to the other. Tried that, but couldn't get a reliable signal.
I was then advised to buy another Airport Express and use it as an expander in the other building. Trouble is, i can't get a reliable wireless signal between the two Expresses, so it keeps dropping the connection, and is slow when it is connected.
I rang Apple again and was told that i could try a third Airport Express between the two existing ones, but that is impossible as there is only outdoors between the two.
It would be very difficult and expensive to get an ethernet cable between the two buildings (have to cut through concrete etc), and I see from the discussion forums that an Airport Extreme has the same wireless signal as an Express, so replacing one of the Expresses with an Extreme seems unlikely to resolve the problem. Can anyone think of any other options?

The Powerline adapters mentioned by edex67 are your only hope if you cannot run an Ethernet cable.
Even if the home and office are on the same electrical circuit, you won't really know how well the Powerline adapters might work until you actually try them out at your location.
For that reason, it would be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy.

I have a MacBook Air version 10.6.8. 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. I'm having trouble with internet connection.

I have a Macbook Air 2.13 GHz 6MB, 2 GB memory and I'm having trouble getting connected to wifi or internet. I've already checked the airport. I've also verified the connection on the router. I am still not successful in getting connected.

Delete all the existing wireless networks you have stored in the MBA under the network setup of the wireless card.
Power off the MBA and power on again and then rediscover the wireless..
Any luck??
If you still have issues.. more info.. what router are you using? How much wireless signal do you get? Can other devices connect and it is just the MBA that has trouble??

Trouble getting internet access

I'm having trouble getting the internet to open up using SAFARI when my MAC wakes up.
When I try to bring it up I get the following message "Redirect Server: Rapid Logic/1.1 MIME-version: 1.0 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html Location:http://launchmodem/redirectBS.htm"
The only way I get it to work is to type in "http://launchmodem/redirectBS.htm"
and I get this message "WARNING!
Unable to resolve your redirection DNS entry
Please clear browser cache close and then reopen it to try again"
Then I hit ok and it works.
Any ideas on why this happens and how to fix it?

Forgot to mention that I am I am using a wireless router to connect if that is important.

Cannot enable ePrint Web Services - get internet connection error for HP LaserJet 1102W

I have a HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. We just changed over to Comcast internet service from AT&T where my HP LaserJet 1102W was set up for ePrint. After several hours, I was finally able to add the 1102W printer to the Comcast network, access the Embedded Web Server tool and print wirelessly but I cannot set up ePrint. I have deleted the printer but cannot get it to connect to Web Services. I keep on getting: Connection Error. Check Internet Connection but again, I can print wirelessly successfully to the printer but would like to be able to set it back up for ePrint. My Comcast router is an Arris TG862.
I have updated the firmware and used the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool but still am not able to get the ePrint Web Services to connect. Here is the information from the Networking page of the EWS:

There appears to be a known issue with the Arris TG862 router and supposedly a new firmware is to be released soon but just checking to see if anyone has been able to resolve this issue.
Thank you!

Hi Surf1981,
I understand that you're not able to enable web services on your printer. I would try steps listed below.
1. Open an internet browser type printer's IP address.
2. Should bring you to the printer's status page.
3. Select networking tab at the top.
4. Left hand side select Network Identification.
5. Under DNS address Configuration select Manual DNS Server.
6. For Preferred enter 8.8.8.8
7. For Alternate enter 8.8.4.4
8. Select apply. You might get a warning saying this could interrupt connection that's fine.
9. Turn printer off for about 30 seconds then try again.

Getting "Internet Connect Could not open the communication device"

I am getting a pop up showing "Internet Connect - Could not open the communication device."
Why is this? I have never got it before and after awhile my internet works just fine. I am trying to understand why it's popping up. The wireless networks I connect to are always working fine but my computer is just now giving me this pop up.
Please help. Thank you.
-Mike

you could try moving either file one at a time, don't delete them though
if moving the files and restarting does not fix the problem you can always put them back to the original location, it's just settings files
possibly you'd need to setup your network prefernces again
also, in System Preferences, click on Accounts pane, then your user name (you may need a password for that)
on the right side of the Accounts window there is "Login Items" tab, see if anything shows up in login items
as a guess, machine tries to connect by looking for your cell phone to use as a modem or something
maybe check Network preference pane, see what shows up in Bluetooth
