Unable to browse the internet even though I'm connected the network

I have a new iMac. I can connect to my wireless network via Airport. I can print to my wireless printer but I cannot connect to the internet using a browser (Safari or Firefox). I can ping (e.g., Google.com)successfully but can't connect via a browser. I can connect to a neighbor's unsecured network and browse the internet at will. I have WPA security activated. I have 3 PC's on my home wireless network that connect to the internet with no problem.
I've been on the phone with both Apple and Belkin support all weekend. Apparently the router is working. Apple support has not been able to diagnose my problem. The latest suggestion by Apple technical support is to install Snow Leopard and see what happens.
Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'm new to the iMac world. Always been a PC guy so I'm having difficulty understanding why I can connect to my network but can't browse.

That's interesting I have a similar issue, the wireless suddenly stopped working for me.
I get an IP address assigned, my /etc/resolv.conf file is updated correctly to DNS and I have a properly configured gateway yet I can't ping anything.
This only started happening recently as well.
It is odd that you can ping an address but not surf, have you tried disabling WPA security on your router and seeing if that makes a difference?

  • My Firefox won't let me browse the Internet, even though I'm connected to the Internet.

    Excuse me, but my Firefox 3.6 just randomly stopped working. It won't let me browse the Internet anymore-- the error message it always gives me is "Unable to connect", even though I'm fully connected to the Internet. Earlier I opened up Safari and Internet Explorer 9-- both, in which, let me browse the Internet, and I had a full connection. But, whenever I use Firefox now, it says "Unable to connect". And every time I type in a URL on it, Firefox gives me the ''SAME'' error message. I don't know what to do now. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it does the same thing. So now I am stuck with using Safari, when I really wanna use my Firefox. Why is it doing this?

    Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
    There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
    By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4 and newer prevents this behavior by default. To prevent this behavior in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
    * Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    * Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

  • I have a 5th generation iPod touch that is suddenly "unable to connect to the server", not entirely sure what this means but I'm unable to connect to the internet even though I'm connected to Wifi. Can't connect to iTunes on my pc either. Any input?

    I have a 16GB iPod touch that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet last night. Everytime I try to get mail, or access anything with Safari I get a message saying that it can't connect to the server. Also I've plugged it in to my home computer but it won't connect to iTunes either. I haven't updated to iOS8 yet as I didn't have enough space for it and I had planned on deleting all my music files, updating the software and putting whatever music I could fit back on to the device afterward, but now I'm hesitant to do that as I have no way to get any of the files back onto the device. Could this be because I haven't updated to iOS8 yet? I've been having other problems such as apps crashing unexpectedly lately as well, for example my music shuts off randomly and apps such as Twitter and Tumblr and a few others crash on launch. I'm definitely not a genius when it comes to technology by any means, so I have no idea what's causing this problem or how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS3297 itunes wont connect to the internet even though its already connected...?

    Itunes continues to "load" and "connect" but then finally informs me that Itunes cannot connect due to lack of Internet Connection, even though there is nothing wrong with the connection. Now what?

    Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address when the iPod requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to it for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Using network sharing on Macbook as router, but my ipod can't connect to the internet even though it can connect to wifi

    Hi there, recently I've been trying to use my macbook as a router by turning on network sharing.
    I'm sharing my connection through PPPoe.
    It worked great for my 3DS and I was able to play online flawlessly
    (unfortunately I don't have any other mobile device so I could only test this on my 3DS and ipod touch
    But my ipod touch 4th gen, while it is able to connect to wifi with a strong bar, I cannot access the internet via web browsers and some of the apps.
    It always gives me the 'cannot connect to internet' message.
    What further puzzles me is that I can receive, update, and check my mail perfectly fine.
    I've already tried the following:
    1) unplugging and replugging my modem
    2) forgetting the network on my ipod and re-access it
    3) resetting network setting on ipod
    4) tweaking with the internet sharing setting like trying different channels and different types of security
    5) turning off and on my ipod, and turning off and on the wifi on my ipod
    Anyway, I'm really stumped and I hope someone can help me figure this out.
    Any help will be gladly appreciated.

    oh I'm not actually using a router, I'm using my macbook pro as a wifi router by turning on network sharing.
    And I'm sharing the connection through PPPoe

  • My macbook won't connect to the internet even though my router/connection is fine

    Two days ago my computer was fine. Since yesterday it won't connect to the internet. I've been in touch with my service provider and determined that my router is fine and everything is correctly connected. I've rebooted my modem, restarted my computer, taken dhcp offline and put it back on, repaired disk permissions... Not necessarily in that order but nothing had work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    We've determined, then, that you use your cable rather than wifi for your signal. Approach this in an organized way:
    1. ISP. Check your ISP's webmail to make sure you can send and mail email using the webmail interface. If you can, that means your ISP can still send and receive emails - if only on webmail. Useful if your normal email is malfuctioning, like now.
    2. Modem. Unplug and reconnect your modem, and make sure the connection is snug.
    3. Cables. Make sure all of your cables and plugs are connected; it's easy to disconnect an ethernet cable while cleaning, or after random kicking.
    4. Connection wizard. Go to Mail/Window/Connection Doctor, and take down the results.
    Most of the time, you can trace the problem after following these steps. If there's still no luck, provide detailed info on your results.

    My macbook 13 pro is not connecting to the internet even though the airport says it's connected. Can someone help me? My iphone and other macbook connect and work no problem. What steps can I take?

    Ok....
    Now go to your router's settings.  Not sure who makes your router...
    Look at wireless part of it and see how many computers are actually hooked up to it.
    Delete your computer from it (in your router).
    Restart your router.
    After your router has restarted, try to connect to it with your MB and see if you can browse the net.

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

  • My MacBook Pro will not open any application or program that requires internet, even though I am connected to the web.

    My MacBook Pro will not open any app or program that requires Internet, even though I am connected to the web. I recently installed Norton AntiVirus and think it may have changed a setting that I couldn't find. I uninstalled Norton and it didn't help. Every time I open Safari, iTunes or any other program that tries to connect to the Internet, it crashes. Strangely enough, Skype still works, but nothing else.
    I have OSx 10.6.8.
    I have tried erasing plists, and all the standard troubleshooting, ie resetting modem, restarting computer, reloading Safari from disk.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Change your router channel.  Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
    Power cycling the router.  Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
    System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network
    Unlock the padlock
    Locations:  Automatic
    Highlight Airport
    Click the Assist Me button
    In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.
    System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock.  Highlight Airport.  Network Name-select your name.  Click on the Advanced button.  Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.
    Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."  Click the OK button and lock the padlock.  Restart your computer.

    Confirm your decision when prompted and then enter your administrator password in the space provided.
    Retart your computer & Norton should be gone for good.
    If the above does not work, download a copy of Symantec’s RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility.  This utility will launch Terminal & remove the Norton components.
