I am trying to get help figuring out why when I try to connect on a wireless ATT modem I get an error message saying, "There was an error connecting to the network ATT5216." ATT could not help solve the problem. Anybody got any answers?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11), G4 processor with AirPort wireless
My first guess is that the Modem is using WPA2 & the G4 can only do WPA.
That helped connect to the network but i cannot get a Safari browser to connect.
Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Did you mean to say to type this in the System Preferences under Network>TCP/IP/DNS Servers? Are there any other settings to check? Like the wireless router settings?
I typed it in System Preferences on the iMac and it still could not connect on a Safri browser window.
Yes, but each Interface has it's own DNS settings, was that entered in Airport?
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.
All entries in the Proxies tab are unchecked. Still no internet connection but the computer has a LAN connection.
I'm pretty well stimped, what happens if you put this in your Browser's URL bar?
17.149.160.49
I will try this and get back with you. Thank you.
It didn't work. I typed in 17.149.160.49 in the browser bar and I got the message "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page http://www.apple.com/stratpage because your computer isn't connected to the Internet. The AirPort is connected to the wireless network though. When i go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and try and detect DHCP settings automatically by clicking on "renew DHCP lease" nothing happens. So I set all the paramemters manually using an AirPort address of 192.168.1.164 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and router address of 192.168.1.254. This hasn't solved the problem either. Do you think upgrading to 10.5 would help? I'm not so sure it would.
Are you certain the Router is 192.168.1.254 ??? And nothing else has 192.168.1.164 ?
I am sure the router address is correct because when I enter that address into a browser on another computer in the network it brings me to the router control page. I checked the addresses for other computers on the network and that address is open.
And you don't get the Router Setup Page on this one?
That is correct.
Whew, this is confusing!???
It still has a LAN connection but can't see the Router?
Are there more than one Interface active?
There was an error connecting to the ATT network
