Wireless connected but cannot open webpages

I just bought a wireless router (WRT54G) for my (wired) Mac desktop and (wireless) PC laptop. The Mac (wired through the router) works fine, but I'm having trouble with the PC. It can find the wireless network and connect to it just fine, but when I open a web browser, the browser is unable to connnect to any websites. We are on a school campus that has Ethernet built in, which is our internet connection, so I'm not using an ISP or modem. I set up the router with the Mac, using the Secure Easy Setup button, but do I need to do the same thing with the PC? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi… logon to router’s setup page, try changing wireless channel to 1 or 11, go to advanced wireless settings reduce beacon interval to 50, fragmentation and RTS threshold to 2304, change Transmission rate to 54 MBps…also try upgrading latest firmware on router, check whether it makes any difference or not and let me know.

Am connected to orange fr, i can d/load emails etc but cannot open any webpages, Ipod Touch 5th version, latest IOS installed. Any advise please. First time I have experienced this as my Ipod works immediately elsewhere

I am connected to Orange fr, I can download emails etc but cannot open any webpages. Ipod Touch 5th vers, latest IOS installed, any advice would be most welcome. This is the first time I have had this problem as my Ipod works immediately everywhere else. My laptop does not show this problem using the same orange provider, so its obviously some setting in the Ipod :-(

Try this:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar at bottom
2. Hold the Safari app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Re-launch the app and test
Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

MacBook Pro sees wireless networks but cannot join any. Connection timeout error

I have a MacBook Pro here that sees all wireless networks but cannot join any. It gives a connection timeout error with every one.
Internet access via ethernet cable works just fine.

It's not uncommon for you to "see" a great many networks, dozens even, yet you not be able to connect to any of them even if they are "open" (no lock icon). There may be a number of reasons for that, such as they're too weak for a reliable connection, or the router may limit connections to only specified devices.
There is only one way to achieve a reliable network connection, and that's for you to connect to your own wireless router. Even that doesn't work if its signal is too weak or if there are many competing wireless networks in your area.
If it's your own AirPort Base Station you're trying to use but can't, the latter could be the reason. The only way to mitigate the effects of wireless interference is to use 802.11n and 5 GHz whenever practicable. Even today you may only find one or two 5 GHz networks being used in an otherwise "crowded" area.

My iPad is connected to my network but cannot open any page in safari or access the internet

Hopefully, this will be of some help.

I am connected to my wireless network but cannot access the internet. Any ideas?

Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address 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 can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (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.

You haven't provided much information, such as what type of router you have? If you entered the encryption key as the password as opposed to the router name you have selected? If you have WEP or WPA? What you've tried that didn't work, other than saying it doesn't work? So, below is a link to some assistance. Follow this and see if it helps you.........

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

Pogo website loads and displays but cannot open games; works fine on Internet Explorer.

For about two weeks now, have been unable to open games on the Pogo website; the main page opens but cannot open any games.
All works just fine on IE9.
No work on 8.0.1; installed 9.0.1---still no work as described above.

Surely, am not the only one who cannot load games on Pogo.com. . . .the website loads in but I get a "connection reset" type message each and every time I attempt to load any game. W7Pro 64-bit Dell Studio XPS i7core. Was properly working in F8 and then just stopped doing so; upped to F9 but still have same problem.
Ideas, anyone?
BTW, Pogo works just fine in IE9.

WRT54GS and MAC OSX "has internet connection, but cannot load page"

Ok, I have skimmed through the threads here and the FAQ and still am having troubles. I amt trying to connect a MacbookPro to this wireless router. I have had it connected before which adds to my frustration. I ran all the system diagnostics and come to a point where it says, "This device has an internet connect but cannot load __________. Make sure you have the address typed in correctly." My MAC picks up the router signal, but in the diagnostics it goes as follows. AirPort - Yes Airport Settings - Yes Network Settings - Yes ISP - Yes Internet - No Server - No Please, any help is very appreciated.

Also tried the factory reset and starting from scratch and nothing...

IE8 cannot open webpage for UPK - help!

I have a UPK which appears to work on everyone elses laptop except mine. I have a Sony Viao running IE8 at default settings and Vista. Everytime I click on the PLAY application IE looks for the localhost and just returns the message 'cannot open webpage'. I've looked through the forums and disabled the google toolbar, the pop up blocker and set privacy at low but it doesn't make any difference.
I am not hugely technical, so, any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

For the first time, I'm trying to use adobe premiere elements 10 that came with my pc Windows 8. I created a single project, saved it but cannot open it. My pc shows the file I created but I get an error message that says this type file is not supported or the codex is not installed. As a test, I created another very small project and get the same error message, when I try to open it. Pls give me a simple answer, a refund or a phone

What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running on? And, what video card/graphics card does that computer use?
Is this the first time you are using Premiere Elements 10 or have you worked with it before successfully? There is no easy solution until we
know the details and troubleshoot to determined what caused the problem.
1. Can you open a new project?
2. After you saved/closed the problem project, did you move, delete, or rename any of the files/folder that were related to the source media
for that project?
3. Please review the Adobe document on troubleshooting damaged projects.
Troubleshoot damaged projects | Adobe Premiere Elements
4. What are the steps that you are using to reopen this saved closed project.
a. File Menu/Open Project/Name of Project
b. Other
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next based on your further details and results..
Thank you.

IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library. When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it. I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
recreate the library I believe. It's been a while so I cant remember
exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
have had no problems with it.
