WRT54G Can ping to outside world but can't browse internet.

I have a WRT54G wireless router. The wireless is working fine as I can communicate with the router admin area via a web browser. I can also send and receive packets by pinging a site - like www.google.com. The router is connected to a cable modem. If I plug my laptop directly to this modem (by-passing the router) I can browse the web no problem.
I have a network cable connecting the modem and router. If I unplug this cable the 'internet' light on the router goes out (indicating that it can sense the modem), when I plug it back in it goes on again. So everything seems fine. Only I can't browse the web or send and receive email through the router.
I have tried resetting the router to the defaults - all to no avail. It was working fine, then last weekend - without touching any settings, something changed and we were unable to browse as usual???
Any ideas? Thanks, Michael 

If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you have neither, check what firewall or Internet security you have on your PC, Disable it and try accessing the Internet.Also adjust your IE browser settings. 
Open an Internet Explorer browser page >>> Tools >>> Internet Options- On "General" Click on "Use Blank" button. Click on "Delete Cookies" and click on ok of the confirmation box. Click on "Delete Files" and check the option "Delete All Offline Contents" and click Ok- Click on "Clear History" as well. Then go to "Connections" Select "Never Dial a Connection". Click on the "LAN Settings button". Uncheck all the boxes
here and click Ok- Go to "Advanced". Click on the restore defaults button below and then click on Apply and then Ok.Close the IE and Reopen it again, Check if you have internet.

  • Can't browse internet on ipad2, but laptops works fine - any ideas?

    Have a weird problem surfing the internet with my ipad2 that started out of the blue a few days ago. Everything had been working fine up until then and I don't remember changing anything or updating new software...
    Can't browse the internet on the ipad anymore, and when i point browser at website, it thinks for awhile then brings up an earthlink page (my ISP). Still receives mail/twitter though, so some data is coming through, but facebook app isn't working. And my 2 laptops connect fine, full on browsing. Also seems like my wife's new iphone is having the same problem, starting at same time.
    I really have no idea - anyone heard of this?

    Try going to Settings > Safari> Clear History, Cookies, Cache on the iPad. If that doesn't work then do a reboot of the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • I can't browse Internet with Arora [solved]

    Hi.
    I installed Arora this night, I really like it now. But I deleted my ~/.config/arora*/, and since this, I can't browse the Internet, but with Firefox it works. I want to use Arora instead of Firefox, does anyone know what I can do ?
    I already remove this, re-installed (-Rd, -Rs, -S) but nothing changes..
    Thanks in advance

    I've got it !
    It's just when AdBlock is activated, I can't go to any websites, even the default page of Arora. I don't understand why, because I use the same filters on my firefox, and it works.
    It's now solved

  • Kids can't browse internet in their profile if parental controls are on

    Hi,
    I have profiles set up for each of my kid on our Mac. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I could set parental controls for time/programs to open etc. AND they could still browse the internet using Safari.
    For some reason the last couple of weeks the kids can't browse Safari if they have a managed account. The only way to let them browse is to change their account status to "standard" instead of "managed". Is there a way that I can manage their account and still let them browse the internet? I've been trying to figure out this for days but I can't figure out what has changed to prevent them from doing this. I have recently run all software updates.
    Thanks so much!

    I'm replying to my own posting as I have solved the problem and wanted to post it in case anyone else has the same problem.  I would venture to say that upcoming updates to the Android system may solve this problem.
    For some reason, when the Thrive is set for DHCP ip addressing, it is not going out to the internet.  So, I changed the network profile to manual with a static IP address.  I also input the router address and DNS addresses with the router's IP address.  As soon as I saved the changes it was magic.  The tablet connected and internet speed was lightning fast.
    So, anyone having problems, give this a try as you'll not get anywhere with Cisco or Toshiba support.

  • Suddently can't browse internet... "You are not connected to Internet"

    It has been now 2 months that I have an issue with internet with my Macbook Pro.
    I am connected to Internet and browsing internet, however suddenly and without any reason Safari/Firefox give me a message you are not connected to internet. However, MSN or YM are still working fine
    It happened to me with both Airport and Ethernet connection but only with my specific provider (but only in my macbook pro, not in my pc or iphone)
    When the problem occurs, I run a network diagnostic and found the following
    - Pinging an address that need DNS won't work (ping www.facebook.com ==> error: host unknown)
    - DNS lookup however working: lookup www.facebook.com ==> 66.220.145.10
    - Pinging 66.220.145.10 is working
    - any traceroute on IP numeric address is working, however when it need DNS it is not working (traceroute www.facebook.com: unknown host)
    The workaround I found is to disable and enable again the interface to make it working...
    Did someone have experience the issue?
    Regards, Bernard

    Me too.  What a pain!

  • Can't browse internet on windows phone

    I Have an HTC One M8 windows phone.  I noticed that I can't browse the internet or send/receive email when it's in either 3G or 4G mode only.  If there's wi-fi present - no problem. 

    Have you tried reseating the SIM card? Turn off the phone and remove the SIM card for a few minutes and reassemble and reboot.

  • Everything looks fine, but can't browse internet (BEFW11S4)

    My BEFW11S4 v4 won't connect to internet anymore.
    Firmware is updated (v4 1.52.03).
    Tried to turn off/on both modem and router.
    I did a hard reset by pressing the reset button on the back of the router.
    The only setting I changed after the reset was Internet Setup. Set connection to PPPOe, entered my username and password, saved.
    In Status>Router page, Login status goes 'connected' after a few seconds. Internet IP Address changes from 0.0.0.0 to 200.132.....
    In Status>Local Network>DHC Client Table I can see my machine is there. I can connect to the router either by Ethernet or wireless.
    But I cannot visit any website. The browser always says 'server not found'.
    If I plug may Macbook directly to the modem and configure a PPPOe connection (using same ID/password), then I it works fine.
    Any tips would be appreciated. Could this be a hardware problem and I'd better replace my router? It's about 8 years old now...
    Solved!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I changed MTU from 'disabled' to 'enabled'  then set its size to 1400. Nothing changed.
    Then I tried to ping the IP address (I'm on a Mac, the procedure is different but I believe the result is the same) and that was the result (IP address partially replaced by 'XXX' in this message).:
    MacBookProi7:~ durval$ ping 200.232.XXX.247

    I understand this is the expected answer: no packet loss.
    I did not try disabling Proxy Settings on Internet Explorer, because I do not use IE (all settings were done with Firefox 7 Mac).
    Then I borrowed another router from a friend – a Linksys WRT54GS – and it worked fine!
    Is there any other settings I should try?

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • PC laptop connects to Imac's airport network, but can't browse internet

    Hi there,
    I've got a new early 2008 iMac with inbuilt Airport and I'm trying to use the in-built airport to create a wireless network with my windows based PC laptop.
    Before getting the iMac this year I had an old 2000 eMac and a Netgear router that I used to connect my PC to the internet wirelessly. It worked perfectly after I set it all up using the Router login page.
    But now using the in-built Airport, the PC can go as far as connecting to the iMac's internet connection, but whenever I try to view a page on Firefox or IE, I get an "address not found" page. And yes, I've got my Firefox's network connection settings set to "auto-detect proxy settings for this network".
    Is there something wrong with my Airport, or are there some fundamental setup steps I need to go through in setting up the network?
    This is what I did to set up my Airport network: I chose Create Network from the Airport pulldown menu, then gave it a name, with the channel set to Automatic (11). I've chosen a 5 ascii character WEP password. Then when I connect on my PC laptop for the first time, it sees the SSID, then asks for the network key. I enter it, it spends about 3 minutes trying connect to the iMac, and finally it says Connected, with a signal strength of excellent.
    This is all well and good, but as I said, as soon as I try to access the internet, it fails with a broken page. Even though it says "connected" as the wireless status.
    The same happens when I set up a new network using this time a 13 ascii character WEP password.
    Is it in fact possible to connect to the in-built Airport using a PC, or do I need to get a new external router. Seems a bit of a waste...
    Any help much appreciated!
    Lachlan

    Hi Duane, thanks for your reply.
    I did as you said. I opened Sharing preferences, selected share your connection from Ethernet to computers using Airport. I then set up a new network with new WEP password, but unfortunately my PC won't connect at all to it. After I hit the connect button, it tries for a while, then I get the message "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network..."
    Is it because I've said to connect to computers using Airport? Only one computer's got airport and that is the iMac that I'm trying to connect the PC to.
    A reply above says I still need a router - is that the case? I thought the iMac's built in Airport effectively acts as a router.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • All three of my wifi devices connected, but can't browse internet

    I don't know if this is a help forum but I'm trying several places to see if I can fix my issues.
    New apartment and got an RCA brand modem from them. I hooked my Linksys wireless router to it and have the ethernet cable going from the computer to the router. Desktop works fine. My laptop, moms lapop, ipod can't get to the internet. I see my network on the list and I can connect to it perfectly. It even says connected ( Both on my laptop as well as my moms). On the top though it says no internet access and the network icon has the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark in it.
    It seems its not a virus or anything since I recovered my laptop recently. It's on more than one device so it seems like it would be something in the router settings. Therefor I went into the router settings. Keep in mind that I was able to get on my router settings on my laptop. Not my desktop for some reason.
    Network mode was Mixed, wireless channel is on 1 and WEP security mode with a password. Also keep in mind that this worked perfectly fine in my old condo. So now the only thing that has changed is a different modom and now living in an apartment.
    What could be the problem here?

    Make sure the cords are properly connected. Make sure the RCA Modem is connected to the internet port of the Linksys router.

  • Toshiba Thrive tablet connects to Linksys E1000, but can't browse internet

    HELP!  I bought my wife a Toshiba Thrive 16GB tablet for Christmas and have spent 3 hours being bounced back and forth between Toshiba and Cisco support! 
    I have a wireless network with a Linksys E1000 router.  I'm using WPA2 Personal security, MAC filtering is turned off, and all other settings are basically default.  I have updated it to the latest firmware version (2.1.02).  I have 2 laptops, a wireless access point for my DirecTV DVR and WII (with a switch in-between) and an Apple IPhone 4.  All of these devices have NO problem connecting wirelessly to the router and browsing the Internet.
    I set the tablet up, connected to my network (checked the password and security settings 6 times).  The tablet shows that it is connected to my local network.  However, when I try to access the Internet, it hangs.  Fortunately, there is some idiot in the neighborhood who has an unsecured network.  I connected the tablet to that network and VOILA! I was able to browse, download the latest updates for the tablet, etc.
    So, I thought, OK, let's disable all security on my router, so I set the wireless security to "disabled".  Saved, and restarted.  The tablet STILL won't browse the internet!
    I'm tired of being tossed back and forth with techs who are clueless.  Has anyone had any problem similar to this with an Android-based device?
    I would think that if the tablet is accepted with its credentials that it would allow internet access!  One final thing that I tried was turning on MAC filtering and allowing access using the MAC address and that still didn't work.
    When I look at the details of the connection on the tablet, it shows a strong signal, the SSID name, and the IP address that it was assigned by DHCP.  I hope that someone can help, otherwise I'll have to go back to Best Buy and exchange it for some other tablet.  I purposely bought this one over the IPad2 because the battery can be swapped out for a freshly charged one and the memory can be upgraded to add up to 128GB with a SD memory card.
    Any help is appreciated as I have torn out the few remaining hairs on my head! <LOL>

  • Can't browse internet while playing music over Airport Express

    Hello,
    I have a 802.11n wireless network using a D-Link DIR-615 router. I have 2 AX's, one for the printer and one recently purchased to play music on my home stereo. The AX's are set to join the existing network.
    I can play music over the AX just fine, and I can browse the internet wirelessly just fine.... but...
    When I am playing music AND want to browse at the same time, I can do so for about a minute, at which point the internet stops working (I get time-outs) and a couple minutes later, the music also stops. To fix it, I have to turn off AirPort on my MacBook Pro (using the icon in the upper right of the screen), and then turn it back on.
    Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I've tried changing the channel on the router. I suspect it's something to do with the router... but Apple folks are so much more helpful!

    Based on the information in your posts, you are likely encountering a signal strength issue, an interference issue with another wireless network or device, or a combination of the two.
    iStumbler will help with identifying one or both of these potential issues.
    When you open the application, check your signal strength. If you have a "good" signal, your wireless signal strength will appear in green. If it's yellow, you have a marginal signal, red, etc. If your signal is not in the green area, you need to position the router and Express closer together or try to eliminate any obstructions between devices as much as possible. A typical sheet rock and stud wall will on average, absorb about 15-20% of your signal.
    Then look for other wireless networks that may be displayed in the iStumbler window. Any visible network that is using the same channel or a close adjacent channel as your wireless is a likely cause of interference. If you see this, change the channel on your router to see if you can find better airspace.
    You may need to experiment with this a bit, as most modern routers allow a user to "hide" their network. So, it's quite possible that another network that you cannot see is interfering with your signal. All you can really do is keep trying different channels until you find a better setting or run out of channels.

  • Airport shows "Connected" - Can't browse internet

    Hey all, I've been trying to get my girlfriend's MacBook Pro to connect to my wireless router for a few weeks now.
    I'm running a Motorola SBG900 router/modem off of my Windows ran IBM using an Ethernet cable. I have setup a wireless network running WPA security called "GHOST". I have tried several different approaches to get her connect. I currently have her Airport ID ( mac address?) set as an exception under my wireless network security.
    This is were I get confused. So I connect her MacBook Pro. I open up the internet connect under System Preferences and select "GHOST" from the list of available networks. The status bar at the bottom of the Airport tab says "Connected to "GHOST"", I'm sitting right beside the router and it shows a full signal level. Everything looks good right? Well, now I open Firefox and try to connect to a website and nothing happens. It doesn't even think, it just doesn't connect.
    I'm not a total waste when it comes to computers, I've tried several different ways to connect her. No luck. So, I've finally given in and decided to post. If anyone has any idea what could be going on, it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks a lot,
    -Randy

    Hi Randy - not clear on your setup. I think you have a DSL modem (or router) connected to the WAN port of an AirPort Base Station (ABS) and you are trying to connect the MBP wirelessly - is this correct?
    What sort of ABS is it? There are comprehensive setup manuals available for every model of ABS at: http://support.apple.com/manuals/#airport. Start here if you don't have the info.
    Next, start by resetting the ABS to its factory default. Turn-off your modem and ABS, connect the modem to the WAN port on the ABS, and then connect the ABS to the MBP via ethernet cable.
    Now, power on the modem and ABS and restart the MBP. Open Airport Utility and select the ABS in the LH pane. Press the Continue button in the RH pane and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Once you have setup the ABS and the MBP you can disconnect the ethernet cable and connect wirelessly.
    If I have assumed your setup wrongly, then ignore my post.
