Unable to connect to other networks

Any help?
I have recently installed OS X Server Mavericks on a new iMac (as a .private server). I've been able to bind 2 clients (old iMac and MacBook Air) to the open directory on this local server after entering my server IP address as DNS server in the Network settings of the System Preferences.
When using my MacBook Air outside of my local network, he is able to connect to Wifi routers but he is not getting access to the internet. It works only when I reset my DNS Servers. Is there a work around in order to make sure that I do not have to enter/remove my DNS settings all the time when I'm out of the local network?
Thanks for your advice in advance,
Birgen

When I understand right your problem, the solution could be, you create on network preferences a copy of your Wifi connection and set the correct DNS settings there. That way you can have settings for home and outside Wifi. Only activate the connections settings you actualy need.

  • Why can I connect to my home network with my iPhone 5 in one room, but when I move to another it is 'unable to connect to the network'

    At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
    As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
    If I move back downstairs it reconnects
    This has only started happening in the past week or so
    I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
    I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

    Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded.  Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
    Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers?

  • EthernetIP, Unable to connect to the network path specified, Multiple NICs

    I have not been able to find an answer concerning this error, so I am hoping someone can help.
    Computer has LabVIEW 2013 with the NI-Industrial Communications for EtherNet/IP 1.2.1 addon with Win XP although I have verified the same setup with Win 7 x32 with the same results. I am using the EthernetIP CIP Get Attribute Single.vi and the corresponding "Set" vi.
    I am using a pc with five network cards, one for the corporate network (dhcp) and four that are connected to four Rockwell PowerFlex 700S AC variable drives via CAT6 crossover cables. Each 700S drive controls a motor in an engine dyno teststand. The 700S drives have the latest available firmware installed. The four NIC/700S pairs have hard coded IP addresses with the appropriate subnet masks for proper routing. I can use the Windows "ping" command without errors. The program uses a QSM-PC architecture which I have four separate qsm loops  that "talk" to the each drive, those loops constantly request three parameters from the drive, a boolean drive status array, the rpm , and the torque every 250ms using the CIP "Get" vi. That data is then sent to the main front panel via shared variables. When the operator wants to say change the rpm, a write command is inserted into the queue, and the CIP "Set" vi is used.
    My problem is when I start the program, it is hit or miss on whether these loops will begin to loop through their states. If they start, the program is rock solid. When one of the loops does not start, which is most of the time, the error returned is the "-251723767 Unable to connect to the network path specified". See the attached pictures. So if I disable three of the four loops, the error never shows up. Adding another loop or more will cause the error. Slowing down the request rate does not fix the issue and it is not always the same loop that will throw the error. Each qsm loop has its own session name and its own action engine with the only common thing amongst the action engines would be the "Get" and "Set" EthernetIP VIs.
    No more ideas.....Kevin

    250 ms is a pretty slow update rate for CIP so Why use a nic for each drive? Use 1 drive nic in your PC and use a network switch to connect with your drives. If You have more then 1 nic you need to specify the nic to use for each loop for each drive IP address so the drive and the loops are using the correct IP settings. You should be able to use as low as 30 ms updates with no problems.

  • Unable to connect Wi-Fi network after ISO 6 update

    unable to connect Wi-Fi network after ISO 6 update. I'm not impressed.

    I updated to ISO 6 on my Daughters Iphone 4S, my Iphone 4, and I have now received my new Iphone 5 yesterday and now all 3 of them have wi-fi issues. I know its not my wi-fi because My Daughters Ipad 2 and my Wife's Iphone 4 is still on 5.11 and the wi-fi works fine. I cant understand why apple have not been saying what's going on and when they will fix it. I have tried everyone's suggestions on this forum and the Internet. Still no luck.

    Same To me. I have Asus WL-500W router at home, WPA2-PSK(AES), password similar to this "lIGf@91pY0TnFY!Jh@7LjTUlsL3ZPY", MAC address filtering. My old Nokia E51 works, my Touch Pro Works with it. When i try my one day old Nokia E72 it does not work, the same like others:WLAN: Unable to connect. Wlan Network not Found. E72 works at my work wifi, which has the same settings but without mac filtering. Have no idea what is happening, all is setting correctly. MAC address of E72 is allowed on router. It has the same settings like E51, but E51 works like a charm E72 does not work. What is wrong?
    As already suggested, you could try disabling the MAC filtering from the router, just to outrule possibility of a typo while entering E72's MAC address to router settings.
    Have you tried swithing a WLAN channel that your router uses?
    Log in to your router's web management pages (check router's default IP address and username/password from it's manual) and switch of the "Automatic" channel selection mode. Try few different channels, like 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, if one of the channels happens to work any better. Note that in case you have set your router to use channels 12 or 13 (or in case "Automatic" channel selection mode has decided to select channel 12 or 13) you must have a SIM card inserted and some other than "Offline" profile enabled on your phone since Offline mode (i.e. airplane / flight mode) won't allow your phone to operate on higher channels than 11.
    In case you have configured your WLAN network (SSID) to be "hidden", try disabling hidden SSID mode on the router.
    Asus WL-500W router seems to be a pre-standard 802.11n device so might be worth looking in to your router's WLAN settings and see if playing around with router's WLAN operating mode and settings improve the situation. First of all ensure that your router is not set to operate in 20/40MHz mode (set it to 20MHz only) assuming that the router is in default 802.11b/g/n mode. You could also try disabling the 802.11n mode completely by selecting a 802.11b/g mode (if available).
    You should probably also check that you're running latest (2.0.0.6 ??) firmware version on your Asus WL-500W router since there seems to plenty of complaints regarding WLAN connectivity and stability issues (in general, not specific to Nokia handsets) with this particular router model.

  • Can't see my own Airport - can connect to other networks. Basestation works

    Until recently my Airport Express worked fine (and had done so for a year or so). But a couple of months ago I started having problems connecting to it, and finally a month ago my Powerbook couldn't see the basestation at all. I could still see the other networks in my area, and connect to these (including some airport express networks), so I reasoned that my Airport Express was dead and had it exchanged for a new one...
    BUT when I brought my new basestation home i STILL couldn't see it from my powerbook (even if I placed it 3 ft away). To double check I tried it at a friends house (with his PC), and he could see the basestation just fine...
    So my question is this:
    If I can see (and connect to) other networks than my own airport base, and another computer can connect to my airport, and my ADSL works fine with a cable - where is the problem? I really have no idea where to start looking...
    please help me, this is frustrating...!
    thanks, Lars

    Back again, more frustrated than ever...
    I had my friend come over, and with his PC and my Powerbook 10 inches apart, both situated less than 10 feet from the basestation, we can see exactly the same wireless networks - EXCEPT my very own basestation, which only my freind can see (on my friend's computer it's named "Apple Network edc585")!!!!
    This leads me to think that somewhere in some program on my computer there's something blocking my access to my Airport... The only thing I did recently which has to do with the internet is that I installed an Apacheserver, but this didn't have immediate effect on my airport - so I can't think why it should have now...
    Where can I go? Is there something I can uninstall and reinstall? Should I trash the Airport-assistant and reinstall from my airport-cd?
    Help pls...

  • Unable to connect phone to network

    For months I have tried everything I know and cannot get my Palm Pre to connect to my WiFi network (WRT310N). It connects to other networks at other places but will not connect to mine from anywhere in the house. I have added the MAC address to the permitted list in the router, used the router passphrase for my password and every password in my repertoire but it refuses to complete a connection.
    Any ideas?

    Do you get an error message? Anyway, disable your wireless security in the meantime and try to connect.

  • MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

    Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

  • How to access time capsulewhen connected to other networks using back to my mac and iclous

    so i need help on using the back to my mac through iCloud to connect to my time capsule so i can access my time capsule when im connected to other networks like at work, firends house, school so i can get my files and use the timemachine

    Is the TC the main router in the network.. if not it doesn't work??
    Did you read the instructions Apple give for connection via BTMM?
    Most important.. you must have full access to icloud from behind whatever firewall your workplace, school etc has otherwise it won't work.
    Finally, don't use TM over BTMM.. it is far too slow and is going to corrupt the backup.. there is a huge amount of checking going back and forth.. the general internet upload speed is not good enough. Just use cloud for backup on the move.. forget try to connect to TM. Or carry a 2.5" drive which are light and portable.

  • Disable apple tv from connecting to other networks?

    is there a way to disable apple tv from connecting to other networks? I try to limit the use of apple tv on the network that it is connected to, however, there are other networks in range that are not secure and can be used instead. is there a way to ''lock'' apple tv to only one selected network?

    The main problem is that for protected content in iTunes AppleTV sometimes needs to get a playback authorisation across the internet.
    I've never quite figured what triggers this but it's often when content is new and hasn't been played on the computer before.
    I took AppleTV, iPad and MacMini on holiday where I had no internet access and created a LAN without internet.
    It was impossible to Airplay protected content from the iPad but 90% of the protected content in itunes on teh Mac Mini would stream and play - some new kids shows I purchased and had not played before would not stream.
    Don't suppose you can connect the computer direct to AppleTV via ethernet and see if that lets you stream and play without internet connectivity?
    Alternatively can you seletively turn off your router at times to avoid AppleTv connecting - that usually makes it only display Computers (iTunes streaming locally) and Settings as teh other icons are generated dynamically depending on availability tested via Apple's servers.

  • Unable to Connect to Other Computers on Network

    We have a small network of 4 Macs and suddenly one of our computers cannot connect to other computers on the network. We have file sharing turned on all the Macs, and the other computers can connect to this G4 733 DA, but the G4 DA can "see" the other computers, but when I try to connect I get the message that the connection failed.
    Is there any solution other than reloading Tiger? In system 9 it was simple to just reload the networking extension if it was damaged, but I am not sure for what to search to fix this problem.
    G4/1GHz, 7600 w/G3/500 MHz , G4/733 MHz Server   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Since all the computers are "seeing" each other, I would try to do a "Repair Permissions" from the Disk Utility on the G4 DA...and, if that doesn't help, try the "Repair Disk" option before reloading Tiger. Sometimes, when OS X can't access system files properly, you see "strange" errors like these.

  • IPod Touch unable to connect to wireless network.

    I just got an iPod Touch 4 for my birthday (w00t), however I cannot seem to get it to connect to my wireless router. Everytime I try, it says Unable to connect to network. I reset the routers password, but it didn't do anything. I saw in other threads people said to switch ti WPA security, but mine is already set as WPA Personal. I'm not sure what to do! Please help!

    NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice.  My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet.  I will check the article referred to.

  • Suddenly unable to connect to wireless network...exhausted all fixes

    I’ve got an odd problem with my two-week old MacBook Pro and its connection to my wireless network. I’ve done what I think is pretty exhaustive troubleshooting, but remain baffled. Here’s the story.
    This morning I connected to my wireless network (DSL 2WIRE modem/router) with no problem. This afternoon I returned and Airport refused to connect, giving me the error message, “Airport is unable to connect to the wireless network…” The network shows up as being available, but when I attempt to connect, it wont. (I didn’t make any changes or install any programs this morning).
    Here’s what I’ve done:
    [1] Restarted the router
    [2] Repaired permissions
    [3] Deleted the network’s entry in Keychain Access
    [4] Re-entered my WEP code (assuring it is in correctly; I’ve tried both with the “$” and without)
    [5] Used interface robustness and without.
    [6] Attempted to join the network from the System Preferences>Network.Airport route.
    [7] Created a new account and tried connecting.
    Other tidbits of information:
    [1] Another MacBook in the house connects to the network with no problem.
    [2] My MacBook can connect to another (unsecured) network that I can “see” in my house.
    So, it would seem my Airport card is working okay.
    Any ideas??

    Some more info (in case anyone is listening...)
    I tried turning off the WEP code and could connect. (Since I share files on my home network, this isn't a "solution").
    I also tried Resetting the MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC)(See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319). I did this (I think -- there wasn't any indication that the reset "took"), but alas -- no luck.
    I gave Apple Care a call, but the support guy, while courteous and all, didn't have anything to offer other than telling me to take it in to an Apple Store for a repair (clearly it isn't a hardware issue).
    Heeellllppppp!

  • MacBook (10.4.11) is unable to connect to wifi networks

    After updating with 10.4.11 (and the associated 2008-01 Airport update) a few months ago, my Intel MacBook has been unable to connect to my WPA2 network.
    It will see my network name in the Airport drop-down menu, but fail to actually connect. The icon appears as if the notebook is rapidly connecting and disconnecting -- switching from five bars of signal to none and back again every few seconds. During this time, my MacBook never reports getting a connection, and all other devices on the network experience severe interference. I am able to connect to most, but not all, unsecured networks.
    System Profiler reports my wireless card as AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86), Firmware Version: 1.3.5 .
    My router is a D-Link DGL-4300 with the most recent firmware. I am running an 802.11g network at 2.437ghz.
    I've tried the following already, unfortunately without success:
    . Switching to WPA from WPA2
    . Removing all the preferred networks from my System Preferences and adding them back in again.
    . Removing all the network info in my keychain and reconnecting to the network from scratch
    . Switching the router to channel 11 (away from 6)
    . Turning Interference Robustness on and off
    . Manually specifying IP and DNS in my network settings, rather than DHCP
    . Removing all other wireless devices from the network
    Looking elsewhere on the net I find that a few other people seem to have this problem, and so far the only solutions I've seen are "roll back to 10.4.9" and "disable security on your home network," both of which are obviously untenable for security reasons.
    The one (and only) WPA-secured router I am able to connect to is the Airport at my local Genius Bar, so they're unable to help me.
    Has anyone else seen this, or have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Well, I downloaded Pacifist and the 10.4.11 Combo Update. Pacifist verified the AppleAirPort and AppleAirPort2 .kexts on my drive as matching the ones in the package, but I forcibly reinstalled them anyway and rebooted. Still no luck -- now the network is back to the four-bars-no-bars death loop without even popping up the error dialog.
    Luckily however Pacifist turned out to be the solution to the problem. A Google search on "Apple broke Airport" eventually led me to this thread with detailed instructions on rolling back to the previous version of the Airport driver, before the 2008-01 update: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/03/28/airport-extreme-update-2008-001-for-tiger/#c11509 504
    I'll paraphrase it here for anyone else who has this problem:
    Download the Airport Extreme client software version 2007-004
    from http://tinyurl.com/yw3dnu.
    Download and install Pacifist from www.charlessoft.com.
    Delete /system/library/extensions/io80211family.kext
    In Pacifist, open AirportExtremeUpdate2007004.dmg
    and expand the sub folders until you can see the io80211family.kext
    extract and direct it to extract the file to the
    /system/library/extensions/ folder
    restart
    So now my Airport works again, though without whatever security they put in with 2008-01, I guess.
    I suppose I'll have to embargo future OS updates until this gets straightened out, or else re-rollback the io80211family.kext after each one. I sure would like to talk to whoever wrote this update at Apple!
    Thanks for your time, BD.
