Two Users can connect to apleu3test02 but not each other

Hello,
I have been trying to connect to with my wife whom is on a road runner cable modem behind a belkin wireless router. I am on a comcast cable modem behind a linksys wrt54gv4 router, however it is flashed with an open source firmware. Both of us can connect to the various test users out there but we have intermitent issues connecting with each other. I am guessing that this could be partially due to our maximum uploads being about 345kbps. I have not setup any port forwarding, triggering, or ther router adjustments yet. I figured if I can connect to the apple test users it should not be a problem. I am working on trying to test without my router but comcast will not let me mac grab a dhcp address. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Me = macbook pro 2ghz with 2gb ram 10.4.7
Wife = 1.67 g4 ibook with 512 mb ram 10.4.7

I'm having the exact same problem. My father and I were able to communicate for weeks with no issues and since updating to 10.4.7 we have a 90% failure rate with video chat. It worked once last night and once this morning otherwise its an error -8.
Now until recently we have never port forwarded anything except VNC and I can't see how we could use this method with iChat when we have numerous users here at home.
I think the most frustrating part is it works from time to time and I can find the reason why.

  • Replay DVRs can connect to Internet, but not each other through new AEBS

    I have a new AEBS and have had a few problems with it. After experiencing a lot of signal dropping I rolled the firmware back to 7.2 and that seemed to fix those issues.
    Unfortunately, I'm still having one major problem. I have two RePlay DVRs wired to the AEBS. They can both connect to the Internet. (I know this because the TV guides are continuing to update.) But they cannot talk to each other. They should recognize each other and I should be able to watch files on one machine with the other. I could do this with no problem with my previous router. Does anyone else have this problem?? Anyone have any ideas on what to do??

    Can anyone give me a clue? Should I exchange the AEBS, or is there a setting I could tweak??

  • WRT54G all computers connect to internet, but not each other

    ver 5 firmware v1.02.5 build 002, Jan. 9, 2008
    Here is my issue. I run a secure wireless network at my home, consisting of 1 desktop (wired) and 1 laptop (wireless) after setting up the network, and turning on file sharing, and sharing drives, the network works fine for a short while. All drives are visible in "My network places" but when I try to access them, I get the error " \\drive\folder not accessible you might not have permission to use this network resource. All computers can use the internet no problem, and appear to be able to see each other, but cannot access each other. The signal is excellent, and the internet is fine as well. Is there any help that you can give me? I am not sure what is happening. No settings are being changed, it just seems that the network connections just disappear. Also, under my network places, the remote drives show up as under the Internet section of the window. Thanks in advance for any help you may be.

    Have you checked all firewall settings?  Turn off all firewalls on all computers and try.

  • I can connect to WiFi but not the internet

    I am trying to connect a new IPad 2.  I have a Belkin router that is B+G+N.  I use WPA2 encryption and MAC filtering.  The IPAD's MAC address was entered into the router and when I provide the encryption key as the password I am able to connect to WiFi but not anything Internet related except for email.  When I type any URL in Safari it takes me to my router's management page.  In fact I can log into my router and manage it from my IPad but I can't connect to anything else.  I have 8 other computers/devices that connect to the router fine including two Apple Ipod touch's.  This has me baffled.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I can connect to MAC but not my PC

    I have a new Nano, that connects to Mac but not my PC. When I try to connect to PC it says "iTunes as detected a Macintosh formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows."
    How can I get my Nano to work on both?
    Thanks!

    Windows cannot read a Mac formatted disk.
    You need to Restore on iTunes for Windows and it will then work on Mac & Windows.

  • Can connect to router but not ad hoc network. Works fine with iPhone.

    My brand new ipad on ios 3.2.2 connects fine to my router and my jailbroken iphone running Mywi. However, I cant connect to an ad hoc network set up on my laptop running vista. My iphone connects to the ad hoc without any problems. I've tried everything, static ips, wep, wpa, hard resets, restoring, resetting network settings but no go. How can' everything else be fine but not connecting to the ad hoc network, especially since it works fine to connect with the iphone?
    Btw, the ad hoc is for controlling music software on the laptop through wifi. It's not for getting internet.
    Can anyone shed some light on this?
    Many thanks,

    Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Did you try doing a search, upper right corner of this window, on remote control? There have been a number of discussions during the last two weeks about remote control problems.
    There have also been discussions about networking an iPad via another computer, such as iMac or MacBook Pro, using the computer's wireless card rather than a router.
    See if one of those will answer your question.

  • Can connect to testers but not my mum!

    Hi,
    I have been trying for some time to get iChat 2.1 to audio or video chat with my mum in the UK (I'm in Japan). We both have iSight, iChat AV 2.1, OS X 10.3.9. I have a PowerBook G4, my mum has an iMac G5. I am using an NEC router (all in Japanese, which I don't understand properly), my mum is using a BT Voyager 205ADSL. I am using an Airport Extreme, but have tried with or without it - same result.
    The message we are getting is something like 'mum/Tom did not respond'.
    We can both connect to the AIM testers 'tryichatav' and 'ichatavtesting' with video and audio but not to each other. I have gone through the port opening procedure that Ralph advised us in another column 'iChat audio', but at that time we thought the problem was at my mum's side.
    Now I know that we can both connect to the testers, I have absolutely no idea what to do or where the problem lies.
    Any ideas would be great. Would us both buying new routers solve the problem for sure? If so we will do this as we are tired of this headache, what would you recommend?
    Regards and thanks in advance.
    Tom

    Hi Ralph
    I managed to connect with Tony last night through iChat AV using iSight, so can I assume that the problem isn't at my end now?
    If so, it may be easiest (but not cheapest) for my mum to just buy a new router. If she bought the Netgear one mentioned above ought we not to have any more problems or is it just not as simple as that?
    I enjoyed my first real use of iChat - it really does change a few things doesn't it...
    It would be great for me and my parents as we hardly see each other, and iChat really does make meeting possible.
    Many thanks to both Tony and Ralph for your help on this and other threads.
    Tom
    PS: I have two machines. I had been alternating between two computers in trying to connect previously - both running the same software - and always got the same errors. Last week I upgraded one to 10.4.2/iChat AV 3 and tried that with Tony last night. I am still waiting to try my new configuratin with my mum... Just in case that changes anything...

  • Valid users can see a site, but not the document libraries they have permissions for

    Hello everybody,
    at a customer's site, there is SharePoint Foundation 2013 SP1 running, bound to both http and https. Seeminlgy out of nothing, a strange behavior occurred: Visting
    http://intranet/subsite showed the page headers (logo, global navigation etc.), but no content. The welcome text was missing as well as the links to the document libraries which should appear in the left navigation.
    After explicitely adding http://intranet as an alternate name (https://intranet was active only, don't know why), we can again reach content via http. Still strange appears, that
    http://intranet global navigation links get redirected to https (fine, but unexpected). If we change a deep link to a document library from https to http in the browser's address bar, we can reach the content fine.
    However, one problem still exists: This site gets published via TMG 2010 via https, and that also worked just fine for many months. But now, I can try what I want in TMG, valid authenticated users see only the top navigation, but no content at all.
    Can anyone give me a hint about what to check? Of course, I will provide any info you may need.
    Best Regards, Stefan Falk

    Hello Daniel,
    Thank you for your response. As to your questions:
    I just added http://intranet to the alternate access mappings of the intranet zone and did not extend a website.
    Besides SharePoint Central Administration, there is no other SharePoint web site collection on this server, and no other non-SharePoint-IIS-Site. This is a VM for nothing else than hosting this single intranet site collection.
    We do see the same issue under two sub-websites underneath
    http://intranet, namely http://intranet/Datenaustausch and
    http://intranet/Protokolle. In both sub-sites, there is some welcome text on the home page and there are several document libraries, each with permissions not interited, but explicitely granted to specific users.
    The first (solved) issue was, that we could not see the document libraries when using http, but could see them using https. This was solved by adding the alternate access mapping for
    http://intranet explicitely.
    We can successfully browse the sites (using http and https now) from the internal network. The one issue left is that the same does not work through TMG, that is, coming from the external network, we can see and call up the sites in a browser, but not any
    content in them. We do see the site title and logo, and the global navigation at the top of the page, but we do not see the welcome text, nor the document libraries. This did work last week, and we do not know nor could find, why it stopped working. The issue
    persists regardless of whether we use bridging to https or to http between TMG and SharePoint.
    We have already restarted the SharePoint box, with no success.
    If I can provide any further information needed, I will be glad to do so.
    Best Regards, Stefan Falk

  • Changed to secure - can connect with mac but not pc running vista

    I changed my wrt54gs from unsecured to secure by changing the wireless > wireless security > to security mode: WPA personal, the wpa algorithms is set to TKIP, i set up a password in the shared key area and the group key is set to 3600.  I saved the changes and now i can connect with the password with a macbook pro as well as with a ipod touch but i cant connect with a laptop running windows vista.  I would get an error saying unable to connect, funny thing is though  i am connect (and it is the correct router, not a neighbors) but it says connected with limited access. I tried to run diagnostics and repair but to no avail.  Any thoughts on what to door is limited access ok?
    thanks,
    Dave 

    Try this :
    Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >> Manage Wireless Networks, here remove all the networks present and close the Window...
    Click on Connect to a Network and try to re-connect to your Network, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...
    It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

  • Can connect to wifi but not to Internet

    I had the problem that iPad2 suddenly could connect to wifi, and to 3G for that matter, but got an error trying to acces the Internet (from Safari or mail).
    Tried for hours all the advice foud here and other places, like resetting this and that.
    I had a feeling that it was something blocking on the iPad, not a router problem - all other devices could connect to Internet.
    The solution: I had disconnected Dropbox! - Connecting to Dropbox again solved all problems. Now it's even possible to disconnect to Dropbox without getting problems with Internet access.
    The lesson learned from this: apps can hang up Internet-connection, though they are not even using it!

  • Can connect to airport but not always internet!!

    We have up to 6 Wi-Fi devices in the house and for some reason only about two can connect to the airport at one time. We have road runner from TWC and I have called them and they said that the modem was working fine and reset it from their office. They said that the router AEBS was messed up. I've tried to reset all the settings and it worked for a little while, but then returned to it's old ways again. What's wrong? Am I missing something. This has been majorly stressful! FYI We have a Powerbook G4, MacBook, HP Desktop, Vaio Laptop, and 2 iPod touches.

    I have reset my airport this was the second time i was toying with it all last night. I was able to get on the little website for our modem so I disabled that firewall and turned off it's wireless capabilities and a few other odds and ends. And then I redid all of airport. Now though I get an unresolved problem status with "Double NAT" it says and I quote that "This base station has a private IP address on it's ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a divece or network that is using Network Address Translation (NAT) to provide private IP Addresses. You should change your base station from using DHCP and NAT to bridge mode." I ignored it because it seemed to be working last night fine with all of our devices on at the same time. but then again last time I reset it, it worked fine for about 3 days and then went to it's old habits.
