Unable to connect to internet via Airport (wirelessly)

I have 2 Macbooks at my house. One can connect to a password protected wireless connection just fine, the other is unable to. I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and 10.4.(something) on the other.
When I enter in the WEP code and try to connect to the server, it says that I am unable to. I am 100% positive that the password is correct.
I have tried deleting my preferred networks and my keychain passwords for networks and nothing has worked.
Thanks you

The computer was allowed to connect before, and has until about a day ago.
I'm not sure what kind of password it is, but I cannot change any of the settings just to put that out there.
I have tried both the Airport icon, and through internet connect. no luck either way.
Not sure about what the router is in, but it should be accessible since it was before and other computers and iPhones can connect to it just fine.

  • Unable to connect to Internet via Airport Express - 'cannot contact server'

    I'm unable to connect to the internet via my Airport Express. I'm using OS 10.3.9, and had the same setup with no problems at a previous address, but with a different modem from the same ISP.
    My AE is connected - the light is green - and my mac is connected to the network in Internet Connect. But when I open Safari I get an 'unable to contact server' message.
    I've tried rebooting everything (modem, AE, Mac), and leaving modem/AE off for several minutes. Also reset the AE, but to no avail.
    The connection works fine via Ethernet cable.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks, I checked out that advice doc (106798), but could not connect to the address (http://17.149.160.49) which is given to test if it's a DNS issue. My ISP says I shouldn't need DNS settings.
    The service is PPPoE, and I went into Airport Admin Utility to check if the Airport was configured for this. Under Configure/Internet, I found it was set to 'Ethernet', so changed it to PPPoE. Then when I restarted I got connection status in the bar (and good Airport signal), but status flipped between 'looking for PPPoE host' and 'negotiating PPPoE host', sometimes sticking on one or the other each time I tried rebooting all gear.
    Any other ideas?

  • HT4623 After ios update on my ipad mini i am unable to connect to internet via cellular connection

    i Have update ios 7.0.2 on my ipad mini. But after update of ios 7.0.2 i am unable to connect to internet via cellulau connection. Cellular connection appears on my screen but i get error as "Could not activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service". Cellular connection was working prior to ios 7.0.2 update. Please help.

    GOT MINE FIXED -
    THE 7.0.3 update reported my iPhone as LOST or STOLEN  to Verizon.
    They suspended my iPhone service immediately (as I would expect them to) and THAT is why I couldn't get on.
    Called Verizon wireless - they restored me in 30 seconds - EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN.
    They said "we've been doing this ALL MORNING."
    Hope this works for others, too!
    You blow bright orange chunks, Microsoft, er, I mean, Apple.

  • Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

    I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
    A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
    It states that I am connected to my router.
    When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
    My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
    Please help.

    looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router?  Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

    Enabling Oracle Management Service to Access My Oracle Support
    Unless online access to the Internet is strictly forbidden in your environment, Oracle Management Service should be enabled to access My Oracle Support. This access is necessary to enable updates and patches to be downloaded, for example.
    At minimum, the following URLs should be made available through the firewall:
    aru-akam.oracle.com
    ccr.oracle.com
    login.oracle.com
    support.oracle.com
    updates.oracle.com
    About the dontProxyfor Property
    When you configure the Oracle Management Service or a Management Agent to use a proxy server, it is important to understand the purpose of the dontProxyFor property, which identifies specific URL domains for which the proxy will not be used.
    For example, suppose the following were true:
    You have installed the Oracle Management Service and several Management Agents on hosts that are inside the company firewall. These hosts are in the internal .example.com and .example.us.com domains.
    You have installed several additional Management Agents on hosts that are outside the firewall. These hosts are installed in the .example.uk domain.
    You have configured Enterprise Manager to automatically check for critical software patches on My Oracle Support.
    In this scenario, you want the Oracle Management Service to connect directly to the Management Agents inside the firewall without using the proxy server. On the other hand, you want the Oracle Management Service to use the proxy server to contact the Management Agents outside the firewall, as well as the My Oracle Support site, which resides at the following URL:
    http://support.oracle.com
    The following properties will prevent the Oracle Management Service from using the proxy server for connections to the Management Agents inside the firewall. Connections to My Oracle Support and to Management Agents outside the firewall will be routed through the proxy server:
    proxyHost=proxy42.example.com
    proxyHost=80
    dontProxyFor=.example.com, .example.us.com
    PS: Cygwin has nothing to do with My Oracle Support connection. Cygwin is ONLY required for agent deployment using agent push from OMS.

  • Can't connect to Internet via Airport but CAN via Ethernet

    Yeah so I have tried TWO different of my AX's and can not connect to the internet via EITHER even though Network Status says "you are connected to the internet via Airport". But, if I hook the ethernet cable directly to the computer from the modem it connects to the internet fine. What am I missing. Oh yeah, and on one of the AX's the "music" tab does not appear next to the "WDS" tab thus not allowing AirTunes on that AX, any ideas on that too? PLEASE HELP!!

    CONNECTED!! After resetting the modem, llike you suggested, I am able to get the wireless network back up and running, BUT...I am still having problems with one base station not showing the "music" tab and thus not letting me stream music to it. When I hit "configure" the tab shows for a quick second then disappears. Any idea?

  • 24" imac 2.4 says connected to internet via airport--but does not

    I just got a new 2.4ghz 24" aluminum imac. There are three other macs in my house, all of which connect to our wireless network and are able to browse the internet. This new computer can connect to the network, yet it always has one of two problems: either it says it is connected to the network, but can't access the internet, or it says it is connected to the internet via airport, but when you open your web browser, no such luck. Many times when I open the network preference panel, there is no router number assigned. Sometimes there is. I can connect to other networks in the neighborhood that don't require a password just fine (how I'm writing this). Why can this new machine not connect, when all three of the other macs in the house have no problem?
    anyone, please help. this is frustrating.
    thanks,
    keegan

    OK but, like you, my other machines (PowerPC iMac and Power Book) did seem to work OK while the new iMac was playing-up. It was only when I noticed that the Old iMac had not downloaded some podcasts that I started to look at the router. I now remember having a similar problem a few years ago - frequent failure to automatically log-in to the router, occasional failure of manual log-ins and slow/unreliable connection once logged-in. A new router fixed the problem. It's a real pain but there you are. Must remember to keep receipt of current router and kick-up a fuss if it fails within the guarantee period.
    Sorry if this doesn't help but I thought it worthwhile posting my experience over the last 2 days.
    Have you tried connecting to your router by ethernet?
    I'll let you know if the problem returns but all is sweetness and light at present.

  • Trouble connecting to internet via airport

    i can't connect to the internet via airport.  Does anyone know what the problem may be?

    There are several items that may be behind this issue.
    So troubleshooting them by trial and error is most likely
    a way to attempt to resolve the cause, especially with
    an older OS X and hardware, while trying to connect to
    a newer base station and different newer frequency...
    •Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
    The above covers several areas of settings and ideas.
    If the computer has been online, and now does not work
    wirelessly, that may be a matter of an accidental change
    in settings; or something turned off that used to be on.
    A general overview, w/ examples of settings similar to the above, for 10.3.9/10.4.11 appears here: http://www.tr.txstate.edu/get-connected/computerservices/wireless/encrypted/maco sx-wpa2.html
    Is you computer running OS X 10.3.9 Panther? If so,
    your built-in AirPort card may be an 802.11b version
    and the security protocol would not work with a newer
    or modern wi-fi base station (WEP, WPA) unless those
    settings were changed. You can turn off security if the
    computer is too old to be able to connect with the old
    settings for that protocol. Also, a later wireless base
    station may not see an old wi-fi card using 802.11/b.
    So it is a matter of knowing what you have on either side
    of the connection issue; the base station and the wi-fi
    card have to use the same frequency and security. Or
    there are work-arounds to attempt to correct this matter.
    Hopefully you can connect and use the wi-fi internet.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 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 :-)

  • Network prefs: "connected to internet via airport"... but can't go online??

    I've got steady green lights on my airport express and modem/router; and in Network Preferences it says that I am connected to the internet via Airport (green light here too). BUT, I can't get online with any of my browsers or my mail client. What's going on here? Help appreciated.
    Thanks
    eMac 1GHz, iBook 14" 1.33GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If you have a Modem Router combined and an Airport Express
    The Express must be set up to NOT DISTRIBUTE IP's.
    You do not mention what brand Modem or Router or Modem /Router combined. Your network confiquration can very a little depending on what you are using.
    If you are using all Apple Airport products the confiquration is pretty straight forward.
    If you are using 3rd party products then the set up can be a little different.
    From what you say in your post you are using 2 routers, my quess is the Express is set up to distribute IP's and if your other router is set up this way then thats your problem.

  • Can no longer connect to internet via airport

    My roommate and I have wireless internet. I used it all last semester with no problems. Sometime in December, I was unable to access the internet (Firefox, Safari, tried both..) here in my apartment, even though Internet Connection shows a full signal under our Airport network. When I went home, wireless worked just fine on this laptop - same when I'm at a library with wireless.
    I've tried restarting the wireless router, no success. I'm only able to access the internet when I'm plugged in directly to the router.
    Any suggestions?

    Um it's an AT&T DSL wireless router. Yes, my room mate uses the wireless. On my computer in the top right by the airport signal, when you click it, our network is shown with a check next to it, so it must be the signal from our router.
    There's an IP address when I unplug my computer from the router (when the web pages cannot be displayed), but when I plug it back in to use the internet, there isn't an IP address - just an IPv6 address.

  • Can't connect to Internet via Airport

    I have a PPPOE ISP account. Before upgrade to Lepoard, just fine. Now I can only connect to internet using cable via my router moderm. I cannot connect my wireless router.
    The wireless router will appear to be connected but it said self assigned IP. If I hardcode an IP eg. 192.168.11.2 to it. The Airport status will become connected but still cannot dial into my PPPOE account. An message no PPPOE service will appear. But if I plug in the LAN cable, everything work fine. Why this happen? My wireless router work fine with my Window XP and my Mac (before upgrade to Lepoard) What configuration should I change? I am an idot to networking. I have download all patch and has tried boot to safe mode etc.
    Anyone can help?

    By power downs do you mean Sleep?
    One thing that might work is to set the IP to Static in Network>Configure IPv4>DHCP with Manual Address.

  • Both iMac and powerbook can't connect to internet via Airport.

    I have an iMac that is directly wired to an airport base station and a G4 powerbook that connects via a card. Neither can connect to the internet. The iMac is set up as follows:
    Cable modem > ethernet cable to WAN port on AEBS > ethernet cable from AEBS to iMac.
    The powerbook detects the base station and created its own network as soon as it did, yet still nothing. The first and third lights on the AEBS flash as to show activity and I have unplugged the modem to reset it multiple times.
    I am completely confused as to what is going on. Can anyone please help?

    If it helps any, I'm in the same boat. I've had an AEBS that has worked well until yesterday. Now, my Powerbook can't connect to the internet via wireless or ethernet (connected directly to the AEBS). My POwerbook CAN talk to my networked HD. To make things worse, my two Tivos (connected to the network via an Airport Express & WDS) CAN connect to the internet.
    I'm totally confused. Since I can't connect to the internet when directly plugged into the AEBS, but can connect when I plug directly into the cable modem, I think I'm going to just buy a new AEBS...

  • All devices connect to internet via AirPort Extreme except Windows

    Hi -
    We've got an AirPort Extreme 7.6.4 set up using Bridge Mode, receiving DHCP service from an OS X Server 10.8.4. Macs and wireless devices of all makes and models work fine, but we are increasingly finding that Windows PCs are unable to access the internet, despite making a wireless connection to the AirPort.
    This is difficult to troubleshoot, as the Windows PCs are invariably clients' computers and they don't tend to have much access to their control panel, but any ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    z

    Thanks so much for the response.
    There are no other routers providing DHCP service, only the Mac server. We do not have NetBIOS enabled.
    The Windows PC clients are not receiving an appropriate IP address -- they are self-assigned 169.x.x.x. The PCs *do* receive a correct IP address if I hardwire them.

  • Macbook connectivity to internet via airport extreme is flakey

    Hi,
    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and I already own a June 2009 Mac book pro w/ snow leopard.
    I always run software updater, so the Airport 2009-002 patch/fix is on this system.
    I have a strange problem with my connectivity to the internet from my mac via the airport extreme.
    Very regularly (and seemingly randomly) the laptops connectivity to the internet will drop out... i.e. websites won't respond, big websites (like google) don't respond to pings or anything. While these internet "drop outs" are happening, i can jump onto my PC (which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet) and the internet is working fine.
    Also, Wifi never drops out through this whole situation. This means that while I can't access the internet, my reception is still FULL and I can SAMBA connect to my PC and with other computers on the network.
    It's very strange that purely internet via the Airport Extreme is having these issues.
    The Airport is in Bridge mode (which means the ADSL modem/router is the DHCP server). The ADSL modem/router does not have wifi active or anything connected to it (other than the airport).
    I've never had any issues with my internet - this is the first. My only real option if this can't get resolved is to return the airport, as this is inhibiting me from working from my laptop.
    Anyone else experience similar issues?
    Can someone recommend any course of action to work around this issue?
    Is there anymore information this forum needs to debug this problem? How can I obtain this info?
    I hope someone can help.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    I seem to be in a very similar predicament, however I'm served even worse:
    I'm loosing Internet connection over both LAN and WIFI. And the Airport Extreme does not detect the loss of connection even though the logging indicates the internal ntp client (trying to connect to time.euro.apple.com) fails (already on dns resolution).
    Currently, I'm dvlp-ing a shell script that checks 4 websites, and if all 4 are unaccessible, I launch an applescript that restarts my airport extreme basestation.
    This however does not always seems to solve the problem. Seemingly I would have to reset the modem.
    The problem can - according to me - not be provider related, since it does not occur when the TimeMachine is replaced by a SL-installed mac mini (that however cannnot function as router (yet)).
    Any hints ? anyone ?
    I previously had installed an Airport Extreme 10/100 version, which showed the same behaviour. Since the system was out of warranty, I decided to upgrade to a faster system, including TimeMachine, but unfortunately, the problem is still there.
    I'm guessing now it could be related to the router being configured in dhcp (getting its ip address over dhcp), but the server provides a static ip address (never changes),... and maybe here there's something fishy.
