A few days ago my roommates and myself changed the name of our wifi and since then myself and my other roommate have been unable to "Get Teredo IP" on our XBOX and are unable to play on XBOX live. We can watch Netflix on our Xbox's and access the internet, however we are both unable to play games on xbox live (i.e. access COD servers). Since this problem is happening to both of our consoles I believe it is a problem with our wifi, if anyone has experienced this before please let me know. It is rather frustrating.
I'm also unable to get a Teredo IP address, completely unrelated to SSID. I just upgraded from 600 to Fibre+, and since installing the new hardware, my NAT has been unavailable. I've verified my port forwarding is correct & power cycled my gateway with no success. Ideas?
I can access my Netflix account via my computer and can stream to my Xbox and other laptops. I've been on the phone three different times with Netflix tech support and they're telling me it's currently a "known issue" with iPads - but there's no ETA and and I'm not seeing any other reports of this on other forums.
Both of my iPad2s (32gb WiFi) can now access NetFlix with no problem. However, these are my daughters' iPads. MY iPad is a 1st gen 64gb 3G and yet I still cannot access NetFlix. I'm getting the "cannot connect to Netflix at this time..." error.
Not sure what this "known issue" with iPads would be with Netflix's iPad app. That would be like Microsoft claiming a problem with Word for the Mac is an OS X or a particular Mac model problem they have nothing to do with whatsoever.
Just so you don't feel all alone on this, yes, I'm having exactly the same problem ... except that it's with my iPhone. I can connect through the TV and desktop ... but not using the Netflix application I just downloaded from the iTunes store. I launch the "app" using WIFI and get the "We are unable to connect you to Netflx. Please try again later" message. Worse ... the "app" is frozen ... so there's no maneuvering.
I am having the exact same issue on my iPad 2 (16gb wifi) and, just like you, the Netflix screen freezes with the error message up immediately upon opening the app. Also having no problems streaming from my iPhone, laptop, or PS3. Sorry I can't help but I'm glad I'm not alone!
So I called NetFlix tech support for the 4th time last night. This time, they didn't even pretend to have a clue what the problem was. They had me reinstall the app, they changed my password, blah blah blah. Finally they told me "it's obviously an Apple DNS issue you should make an appointment at the Genius Bar". HUH????You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me. I can get to EVERY website and access my corporate Exchange email. This is NOT an DNS issue and Apple is not my ISP. So with that, I've canceled my NetFlix account.
I can't get access to netflix via iPad. I can via wii and computer. Netflix has sent me to apple but I don't want to pay 39.99 for support. Hoping someone knows what to do so I can get access given my son is using the wii right now
Assuming that your iPad (regardless of whether it's an iPad or iPad2) can connect to netflix.com through the iPad's Safari browser, you're probably not going to get this resolved. The problem is at the Netflix end and the fact that they are redirecting users to Apple indicates that they don't have a solution and are grasping at straws. That said, I suppose it's possible that Apple made a change in iOS 4.3.3 that may have broken connectivity with Netflix's streaming servers but if that were the case, we would see a lot more users complaining about this.
Coming around full circle (at least in my case), for sh!tz and grinz, I reopened my Netflix account today. Now I'm getting it once again on my iPad and both iPad2s. Note that I had to delete the Netflix app and reinstall it on all 3 iPads, but I'd done this MANY times over the past several weeks.
i'm assuming it's something on the netflix servers and how they handle requests from the apps on Apple devices. As you say they've obviously changed something on their backend. too bad they wouldn't own up to it instead of trying to say "Apple DNS" obviously they don't understand basic networking ;-)
I am having the same problem, started july 8. did a netflix rest in the settings box on my ipad1, reinstalled my app, then called netflix support. they found out that my ip address had me in Colorado, rather than Virginia, and that was the problem. I use DSL for my internet connection. They suggest I call Apple support, but Apple would not help. I will try to release my ip address and see if that fixes it.
I moved recently and have set up a 5G Home Broadband contract and use a Zyxel NR5103E 5G Hub. I have 2 devices connected, my phone via wifi, and my desktop PC via ethernet. I'm not a particularly tech-y person so I'll do my best to describe this and would appreciate if anyone replies that they keep this in mind.
On Steam and other platforms, I don't know how to say this in a tech-appropriate way but the platform can clearly see that I am connected (I can browse the store live, see live video content, etc) but I cannot either download games I already own but haven't installed, or connect to live servers on online games.
For reference @Anvil_Iron I had excellent signal strength, and had no other issues, could download large files, stream, etc. I could not install anything on Steam (it had "No Connection" on the bottom of the interface, despite the store working perfectly fine as if I was connected).
I'm assuming the router signal strength is good/excellent and it's connecting at 5G without any problems? (you can see this via the Three 5G Broadband app for mobile). What are the router icons telling you on top?
Set profile name to Three / set apn to three.co.uk / user name and password leave blank / Authentication should read NONE/ If you get PDP option make sure it is on IPV4 / Everything else should be blank.
On my phone it is fine. However, when I connect to my xbox it doesn't offer me a decent connection. Loading time into games has increased, my ping has trippled to 90 and I spend ages on loading screens.
I've played a lot of battlefield over the past few months. Sunday, I tried to log in for the triple xp event. I got a message saying I couldn't connect to servers. I could hit the Y button to try to connect, but just kept getting the message over and over.
But for battlefield, it still won't connect. I've even tried my son's account, and it won't log in for him either.
Doesn't seem in the Battlefront forums anyone has reported this issue. Anyone know why, all of a sudden, I 'd be having this issue. I've reset my cable modem and router. I'm playing via wire, so not wireless. And like I mentioned, the xbox one is online, for everything else, but just cant' connect to EA servers.
EDIT: 4 hours later, after calls with EA, my router company (TP-LINK) and ISP, EA stated I needed to get the NAT from moderate to open (in network settings). After many hours, I finally got my NAT to show open instead of Moderate. The whole adding ports didn't work. In fact, the only way I could get my router to get the Xbox NAT to open was to set it up as a DMZ. (Yes, lingo I really don't understand. I'm not a computer or networking person). I had to bind my MAC address to a static IP address then turn DMZ on setting that static IP address there. Sadly, still no luck. Turning off the Xbox and back on, as well as router and cable modem, it still shows NAT is now open, but it still says can't log in to EA servers. I have no other ideas what to try or do. (Online does work as I can connect with Rocket League and Netflix).
EDIT: Update 2. So after talking to Microsoft, I feel really special now. Turning on and off the Xbox to 'restart' it isn't enough. You have to unplug it to 'reset' the network settings. Therefore, once I turned it off and unplugged it a minute, then plugged it back in, when I went in the game, it found the servers immediately. So if anyone else ever has this issue, and it seems like it should have resolved, try the unplug thing. Man, like computer 101... is your computer plugged in, lol. Sometimes it's easy to overlook the obvious. Hope this helps.
I found out the culprit. It seems that the Marantz' HDMI 1 (CBL/SAT) input is limited to 1080p while the rest of the HDMI inputs were UHD capable. Once I switched the PVR output to use an available HDMI 2 I was able to stream 4k. That is just weird on Marantz' part!
OK I think I know what is wrong. The PVR Setting under "Television" has an Aspect Ratio where it allows to switch the resolution. The problem is despite it Recommending that I use the 4k resolution, it doesn't let me Apply. The screen goes dark.
You may need to connect the PVR to the TV directly rather than through the receiver. Especially if you're unable to set the resolution of the PVR to 4K in the settings and getting a black screen. Netflix's help page also seems to recommend a direct connection:
Do they have wifi? I have a chromecast which I love. You find things on your phone and then cast to the TV - youtube, netflix etc. It also has apps on it and a remote control to control it.
In order to work (and I think firesticks are similar) you need:
TV with HDMI port
Power near the TV to connect it to
Wifi - to connect the chromecast
Ask if they have smart TVs so you can log in on their TV with your accounts.
