Alright, ive had an imac for about a year now, and love it, but have never used airport, just ethernet. Why? Because i was never able to connect it. Wirelessly i have no problems connecting my laptop which is not a mac, but with the mac it would never connect. So ive just gone with ethernet which is fine by me. But now i have an ipod touch and i really need to figure this out so I can actually do stuff with it. Any ideas on why it wont connect? I am using a a cheap little wired belkin router, would getting a new router make it work? Im really not sure, help would be much appreciated.

on the DNS screen remove the DNS IP address, on the PROXY screen (the first one) remove the .Local proxy server IP.

Restart the modem and the router, then reconnect to the router.


Its showing you have a good connection to the router, just your not getting OUT of the network onto the web.

see if that helps

is possible to see the same pics of a Ethernet connection getting out to the web?
Apparently the Airport configuration seems ok

The Airport is on the internal network (address 192...) while the Ethernet has a public address (98...), this explains the different behaviors.
Usually your Airport values are ok, probably there is some setting to review in the Belkin router. I don't know it at all, so, someone else should help you.
Just to try: add manually the Etherner DNS addresses to Airport
