I need some ideas as to why my IPOD Touch won't connect to websites at my house.
Some info:
-It does see the router IP address. It shows an address of 192.xxxx etc. Initally it was only showing a 255.xxx.xx address which I learned was incorrect as the router seemed to be hiding the actual address. That seems fixed now and I thought that was the crux of the problem, but no.
-It does actually access the net sometimes, on some programs like ITUNES and even Youtube once in a while (but searching or typing in a direct web address proves futile)
-I was able to access the Google home page today but if I search for anything it does not connect and eventually says it lost server connection.
-using Safari to type in any website like CNN.COM or whatever it never connects
-other users IPOD's will not connect at my house
-the Touch works fine at Starbucks, any webpages like MTBR and the like work perfectly.
-I have a wireless Netgear router from '03 so it's a 802.11b type
-I have Mcaffee installed but currently everything is turned "off"
-I have other antivirus/spyware running like AVG but the touch didn't work when I didn't have that
I suspect a firewall problem with Mcaffee but I don't know. All other laptops and my PS3 work flawlessly when used wireless(ly) and I talked to apple today and installed the latest firmware update and he said it appears it actually connects to the net but he's not sure at this point why webpages won't load.
Anyone have experience with this problem? I wonder if I need a new router???
