Yahoo DSL

Anybody know the secret settings needed to get the iPhone to connect to yahoo e-mail? I got the wi-fi talking to my router so thats cool, i got my ports set (SSL incoming 995, outgoing 465 as required by att yahoo) logins, servernames, but it keeps saying it can't connect and get my mail. So whats the trick?
BTW I've been a computer network administrator for 14 years, don't call me a newbie.

Incoming port would normally be 993, not 995. But just turning on SSL will change that though. I discovered when I first set up the phone, that if I turned SSL on, AND explicitly set the port to :993, it did not work. Only was able to get it to work by flipping the SSL switch and not setting the port. I was able to verify on my mail server, the phone was actually using 993 as it should. For SSL on SMTP (outgoing) though, I did have to turn on the SSL switch and explicitly set the port to 465 (probably because there are more SMTP standard configs).
This was all on iPhone 1.0.0 though and may have changed through the updates, but I have not had to mess with settings through either update. Continues to work flawlessly.
(I am running my own Linux mail server, in a data center, using self-signed SSL keys. Works nearly everywhere, except at my office where our brain free admins do not allow outbound to 993 or 465. Odd because the DO allow outbound IMAP (143) and SMTP (25) to anywhere. I'll never understand. They know about IMAP and SMTP, but never have heard of SSL on different standard ports <sigh>

  • Yahoo DSL from Dell Desktop to ibook-wirless via Airport Extreme

    Greetings. I have just ordered a ibook G4 to replace my Dell Dimension desktop PC running Windows XP. I am currently wired to my DSL modem (Speedstream) with SBC Yahoo DSL as my ISP. I want to do the following and need some help: 1) move my Internet settings from my Dell Desktop to my new ibook, which will become my primary machine used (would like to use my Dell for only a couple of programs that are Windows only--and then only occasionally at that); 2) once Internet settings have been set up and are working as it should, I'd like to then set up my soon to arrive Airport Exteme base station to my modem and be wireless with the full 802.11g Wi-Fi capabilities. Anyone who may have experience with similar tasks that may be able to assist me? I can't wait for my machine to arrive, and I want to make sure the setup frustration, esp. w/ the 'net set up and going wireless, is eased. Also, through from anyone who's made a similar switch from desktop using the Windows platform to a 12" ibook G4 (80GB hard drive and 1GB RAM) and how that's been as their only/primary machine would be nice to hear as well? Cheers, robyn.
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    ya i believe you are right.
    on my new Palm Lifedrive i first entered in the ip for google and it worked immidiately.
    oddly enough i entered in apple.com and that worked also so i am gonna try other devices.
    in the even its a dns issue what would be the resolution?

  • Is AT&T YAHOO DSL compatible with Mac OS X 10.4.7?

    I've read on the website, www.att.com that if the OS is not listed, the servise is not available for that OS. The servise lists that MAC OSX 10.1-10.3 is supported. Ive heard from people that it doesnt matter, MAC OS X 10.4.7 is supported. Anyone has AT&T YAHOO DSL woking on MAC OS X 10.4.7

    I used SBC DSL for a bit with my eMac on Panther without a hitch.
    It is not that the service will not work, but their bundled software will not - not that you need it anyway.

  • Help to configure Airport to recognize Yahoo DSL

    I just changed from dial-up to Yahoo DSL, but need some experienced help to get my DSL signal to go through my Airport Extreme. I have read all the topics that are related, printed out the soft/hard reset procedures, but want some knowledgable info, if possible, before I commit to any major action. The Yahoo DSL did not give me an option of a wireless port when I installed it- it offered only modem or Ethernet connections, and I chose Eternet (which works if plugged into my G4, but not the Airport). Is this a Yahoo software issue? or can this be resolved by a rest and putting in Yahoo details in the Network fields? Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you- Dave

    OK, I am confused about the timeline for the above suggestion, could you number the sequence so that I can follow exactly. Thank you. I am also confused about the Airport Admin Utility, it does not seem to have all of the components that you say it should have. I have v4.2, i have tried to use this many times, connected directly via an ethernet cable and i never see my airport show up. do i need and airport card if i am going to connect direct from the AEBS.
    any more help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

  • Still losing Internet connection - SBC Yahoo DSL

    My setup includes a new 17 inch Powerbook G4, AEBS, and a Speedstream modem connected to is SBC Yahoo DSL. I have configured my AEBS based on the recommendations I have read on these forums and have also downgraded the Base Station firmware to 5.5.1.
    Unfortunately, my AEBS still loses the internet connection intermittently. This requires me to power cycle the Base Station, after which the connection is restored.
    I'm really not sure what else to try, so any help would be appreciated.

    Also activate Interference Robustness, up at your Airport Signal strength, click. Don

  • SBC Yahoo DSL DNS Servers

    I had this set up on my MacBook until the hard drive crashed last night. I now have a new hard drive so I need my DNS servers again.

    Not to worry. I signed up for SBC Yahoo DSL June 2004. Your installation instructions, DSL installer CD, and your selected HomePortal will be very easy to install. Just follow the instructions that are sent to you after you sign up for the the SBC service. I connected my eMac using the ethernet connection and a PC using the USB connection. The HomePortal that I requested is also wireless so I can also connect wirelessly when and if I want too.
    FYI, before I purchased the SBC Yahoo DSL service, I checked out the HomePortal that was to be furnished in June 2004. This equipment was coming from a company called 2Wire (www.2WIRE.com). I went to their web sit and checked out their "frequently asks questions and answers", support, video clip, etc, which made me comfortable before the HomePortal arrived. Depending on which SBC service you selected will depend on what hardware you will get. Hope you will have the same success that I had.

  • Sbc yahoo dsl

    Im planning on purchasing sbc yahoo dsl for my mac. I read on their website that it is compatable with macs, but it didnt state specific set up instructions. Im sure it's probably very simple, Im just wondering if anyone has this or at least knows what to do ~ Thanks

  • Mail and SBC Yahoo DSL

    I'd been using a dial-up AOL account previously and so never bothered setting up a Mail account on my iMac until I got SBC Yahoo DSL last month. Now I'm using Safari to access the Internet but have been unable to set up a Mail account and thus still have to log into AOL to send and receive mail. Every time I try, the computer tells me it is unable to confirm my settings. What process do I need to follow to set up Mail so that I can get rid of AOL?

    You can set up your AOL email account in Mail as an IMAP type account per the instructions provided in this link.
    http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
    SBC blocks the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25 even if authenticated such as the AOL SMTP server. The instructions provided include entering 587 as the SMTP server port.
    If this doesn't allow you to send a message with your AOL account using Mail, you need to contact SBC and "opt out" of Port 25 blocking even though you are using 587 as the server port for AOL's SMTP server. I believe you can "opt out" online at SBC's website.

  • Yahoo dsl modem

    anyone know what dsl modems work with yahoo dsl?
    the one i was sent shorted out due to a power outage and they won't replace.
    APPLE IIc, iMac 333, HP notebook   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

    you can try this :
    1)check the ip add on the computer when connected to the 2wire modem
    2)if the ip add is 192.168.1.x , then connect the computer to the router's port#1
    3)access the setup page of the wrt300n using http://192.168.1.1 . the default password is admin
    4)change the local ip add to 192.168.1.2 and disable the DHCP server in it ..
    let me know if this works for you ..

  • WRT54GX2 and Yahoo dsl

    Hello,
    Hardware Below:
    System: G5 OSX version 10.4.9
    Router: WRT54GX2
    Modem: Siemens Speedstream 4100b
    ISP: ATT Yahoo DSL
    I'm having some trouble with my Yahoo DSL connection staying active on the router I have. I've had the router since release and used it great with comcast for a couple years with out issue. However since I've made the horrible switch to DSL due to budget I'm pestered with a constant loss of connection.
    I tried enabling pppoe on the router but it won't connect to the dsl service. It connects with the DHCP settings I used for comcast however after not using it say over night the connection just drops and I'm forced to power cycle the modem. Is there a way for my router to ping something every 30 seconds or 10 minutes to keep my connection up? I have no way of updating the firmware as I don't see a package designed for the Mac and I'm not sure if it would work using a virtual PC.
    Any suggestions from the folks here at linksys or any other users having the same problem?
    Thanks

    You could possibly call up the Service Personnel at the
    Help Desk, of your Internet Service Provider , and state
    them to convert the Modem to Bridge Mode.
    When the Modem is bridged, the ISP will authenticate
    the Request from the Router, only using the Username
    and Password from your ISP.
    So, Bridge the Modem,
    Get the Username and Password from them,
    In the Router's Setup Page, Under PPPoE
    Settings, Enter the Username [ in the format username@
    ISPname.com/.net ] and Password , Save Settings.
    Below the Setup Tab of the Router's Console,
    Change the MTU from "AUTO" to "MANUAL" , and
    Set the Size to 1400, Save the Settings,
    Powercycle the Modem and the Router.
    Check the Connections.
    If problem persists, plz revert back . . .

  • WRT54GX-2 and Yahoo DSL.

    I have searched on this forum regarding my problem. but I can't find anything that seems to relate to my problem. I have a WRT54GX-2 SRX router I am trying to connect to a yahoo dsl gateway. If I leave the device disconnected from the modem, I can connect to the router and access configuration. However, when I connect it to the modem, I can connect to it. But I have no connection to anything, I don't have local network, or even the ability to access 192.168.1.1. I'm not sure why connecting it to a yahoo dsl gateway would mess with the router in such a way... I have been using the router on the go for awhile now, and haven't had any problems with it untill today. Since I can't see a reason why it would be doing this, I'm clueless where to go to fix this problem.

    Problem solved... I was using a Motorola DSL modem. My problem didn't lie in my router. But the Modem apparantly also routes internet. Always a good idea to make sure you aren't creating two of the same IP spectrum. I didn't catch this untill I furthur investigated the modem when post 2 asked me what model of modem it is.

  • Need airport extreme card for sbc yahoo DSL??

    hello,
    do I need to buy a aiport extreme card if I get a new iMac G5?? or can I connect to my DSL line automatically?

    Hello Ann:
    I connect to SBC/Yahoo through the aforementioned 2Wire router. I bought the router from SBC when I acquired DSL service. I use the router to connect two iMacs to the DSL line (wire connection). Make sure you use the Ethernet port if you get the 2Wire router (it has a USB port as well which I found to be flaky under OS X).
    SBC's technical support people were helpful during the initial installation.

  • Sbc yahoo dsl nightmare

    hey all,
    i've read all of the discussions posted here about how to go about connecting to the internet w/ an airport extreme, but haven't been able to make it work for me.
    here's my setup ... normally i would have i usually have my imac g4 connected to the dsl modem through the AE to get to the internet, my ibook has an airport card.
    the only way i can connect to the internet now is to have the modem connected directly to the modem (speedstream 4100).
    when i connect the modem to the ae and then to the imac i try to use the airport admin utility and i can't even see the airport. i've tried to configure the airport through my ibook, but to no avail. i've tried setting the AE to connect via pppoe and put in my username and password, but still can't get it to connect.
    is it because i have this 4100 modem that the fixits you have mentioned before won't work?
    thanks in advance

    JP:
    Not sure what you have already tried so forgive me if I am repeating what you have already been told.
    I use SBC Yahoo with my G5 iMac (both wired and wireless) and G4 iBook (wireless) with an Airport Extreme and don't have any problems with a connection.
    Be sure to go into System preferences and select Network. Select the connection type (Airport or Ethernet) and then click on the TCP/IP tab. In the Configur IPv4 box, be sure to select "Using DHCP". If the connection does not come up try clicking on the Renew DHCP Lease button.
    For the Airport Base Station, you need to using the Airport Administration application in /Applications/Utilities. Select PPPoe and enter your SBC ID and password where indicated. Remember that you have to use the full ID including you domain (e.g. [email protected]) in the ID box.
    after you do all of this I would unplg the moden and AEBS as suggested before and restart the computer. This should work.
    Good luck.
    David

  • Would SBC Yahoo DSL  run on my eMac?

    Stupid question but...Im wondering if it would work on my mac...Thanks alot..I'm getting internet on it!

    Assuming your ethernet port is working (the DSL modem connects through ethernet), there's no reason why not. My Embarq DSL was pretty much plug and play.

  • Switched from AOL to Verizon Yahoo DSL

    I have switched my internet access from AOL to Verizon Yahoo. I now can not see my i-Tunes songs on the music store when I browse for music.

    Did you see the notice on the main Music Support page that state v4.9 iTunes or above is required?
    If you have current iTunes software, call Verizon Yahoo and ask how to set your connection up to allow iTunes.
