cannot find Internet

I have a belkin router connected to my desktop with dsl modem. Now I had my laptop which is windowsxp home also connected by way of a linksys usb adapter and then I added another desktop to my wireless network it is windows 2000 pro I was having a problem connecting to the internet on that one and then it connected now I'm having a problem connecting to the internet with my laptop it is connected to the router and network connection says it is connected but it just cannot find the internet anyone have any suggestions?

 

In the Linksys moniter at link information I have a strong signal and link quality but it says internet cannot be found.

 

XP home is horrible. You might have to connect to the wireless network manually.

 

I did finally wind up putting in my ip address manually after Ikept getting no ip or some off the wall ip addres that di not come close to any of mine

 

I still have internet cannot be found I tried putting in the ip address my router setup utility has for my laptop and it dose not work when I looks at the security log in the routers setup it shows dos for eavh time my laptop has tried to connect to the internet. now my other pc which is windows 2000pro has connected to the internet and I was hving the same problem but it was just the opposite my laptop would connect and the pc wouldn't but now the pc connects and my laptop and other pc will not.

 

Please do an IPCONFIG /ALL from each machine and post the results.

 

I have to copy them down from the other two machines and post them but here is something else interesting I looked around in my wireless routers setup utility and found this in the security log

now my other pc connects just fine but my laptop is being blocked I have a BelkinF5D7231-4 high speed mode wireless G router so far I am not happy with this router it seems to only let one computer connect wirelessly unless I disable my security.

 

Here are my ip configs for all three machines

Allright topkat690,

The windows XP box has the IP address that should be the WAN address of the router.
All three comps should have addresses as 192.168.2.2 , 192.168.2.3 , 192.168.2.4 .
All three should have the routers LAN address 192.168.2.1 for their Default Gateway,
DHCP and DNS.
All three should be set to DHCP enabled Yes and Autoconfiguration Enabled Yes.
The above is how they will all be set when things are right.
Are you familiar with your routers control interface, and owners manual?

We have to start with setting the router up right, and the comps will line up like ducklings.
Let me know about the manual and when you want to walk through this.

 

The wireless connction on WindowsXP60GB is not able to connect to the access point as well. Get the other stuff squared away as BAD_FROGGER has suggested and then address the wireless.

 

I know how to get into the interface and setup my security and SSID, Chanel
but that is all I dare change without helpfrom someone knowledgable of this. I do have the manual but have not gotten into it yet.

 

Hi topkat690,

I have a copy of the manual, and i'm willing to walk through this with you.
The trckiest part is if you make changes that cause loss of connectivity.
You will be on your own untill you get back on line.
I wanted to be sure you had the manual so we could be on the same page
so to speak.
Did my post above make sense to you about how the addresses are messed up? and how they should be?
Are you familiar with using command prompt?
commands like- ping - ipconfig /all - ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew ?

I have to see someone right now about a new job. So if you want skim through the manual and i'll be back in a couple of hours. to answer any questions and walk through if need be. Cool?

Bad out.

 

okay Bad just let me know when you are back yes I did understand how the ip's should line up and I do know how do a ip release/ config all not sure about the ping.

Topkat690

 

if you still need help with this let me know?

 

Hey topkat,
Find anything in the manual that helps?
Bad out

 

Only something to do with the mac addresses but I have that enabled and in the DCHP client list it shows the laptop that won't connect and the pc that has windows 2000 that is connected

 

I could use help fromanyone that is offering, thank you in advance

 

Are you using wireless on all three PC's?
Can you pick one to use to get the router sorted out and connect it with an ethernet cable to the router?

 

Here is how it is setup
#1. Main pc is connetected to the dsl modem and the modem is connected to the Belkin router
#2 is my laptop which is wireless which is no longer connected
# 3. pc up stairs which is no longer connected
# 4 pc in other room is wireless and connected now

that's how it is setup

 

If I am understanding correctly
That could be the root of the problem.

The DSL modem should have only 2 connections.
One to the phone line, One ethernet cable to the router.
None of the PC's should be bypassing the router.
Don't change it yet I don't want to lose you.
Is this right?

 

correct

 

Ok,
thats the main problem.
You are going to have to change the wiring around.
And I'm going to lose you for a bit.
You have to disconnect the PC from the modem.
Connect One cable from the modem to the router,s WAN plug in.
Then connect the PC to one of the LAN plugins.
You may have to reset the router to get it to get the external WAN IP address from the modem.
Use the manual to reset the router and get the one connected PC
set up to work.
Basically starting from scratch like new.
Have a look at the procedure in the manual as if new set up.
and make sure you have no questions to ask before you start.
I'll hang out for any questions?

 

That's the way it is the yellow ethernet cable is going from the modem to the router and the blue cable is going from the router to the computer and the phone line is connected to the router

 

The phone line goes to the modem.
One cable from modem to router.
One cable from router to PC.

What you are telling me is wrong, unless you misstyped what you meant.

 

Yes that the way it's setup

 

I mistyped that the phone line is in the modem

 

OK then if you do an ipconfig /all what does the IP address say on the PC?

 

it says 192.168.2.3

 

Excellent.
Everything we do for now is on the one PC that is connected by cable and that is the one you are on now, correct?

 

correct

 

Not sure which broser you have so either open a new browser window or tab
with the routers IP address so you can be here and work in the routers control panel.
It should be 192.168.2.1

Now I have to check the manual to be able to direct you.

 

I have sbc yahoo I opened up a new tab and am at the routers setup home

 

on the status page
you should have
NAT enabled
firewall enabled
DHCP server enabled
encryption disabled for now

Make note of your ssid but don't post it.
Does all this check out?

 

all are enabled

 

If encryption is enabled then make note of your key
you will need to put it in each computer and the ssid for them to connect wirelessly.

 

I did that already

 

on the WAN page DNS checkbox for auto.
I' sorry for the delay between posts i'm scrolling like a madman through a pdf of your manual.

 

it says you are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found

 

okay that's checkeda and don't worry about the slow post I appreciate the help

 

on the LAN page
You should have
DHCP on
Lease time forever
And an address pool range from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.100
and the local domain name default is Belkin

 

okay it is

 

on the LAN DHCP client list page
you can see all the comps currently connected to your network.
press refresh
there should be atleast the computer you are on and any other PC's
that your router is serving.
This would be where to see if a neighbor or anyone was on the network.
won't be a prob once secured but for now we just want to get all your PC's
playing nice and we can tighten security later.

 

This is where it gets weird now it shows the laptop and the other pc but not the one I'm on now oh do you want me to diable security for now?

 

on the wireless channel and ssid page

make note of the ssid and wireless channel

turn off broadcast ssid

the wireless mode says 54g auto

turbo mode says 125Mbps mode.

 

what security do you mean?
sorry i got ahead.

 

I disabled my encrytion that I had on and now I'm connected but I don't like being with out encrytion that means anyone can get on my wireless

 

I didn't know if you had the encryption thing down or not.
so i figured to ste it up later.
If you have the key and have it already on all your machines then turn it on.

 

I had my encrytion on so I disabled it and now I;m connected

 

Back on the DHCP client page how many do you see and what are the
IP addresses?

 

Once I turn it on I'll lose the connection on the laptop
