Hi Xlphos,

Thanks for responding. I have changed the channels, and that doesn't help. Neither does repositioning the antennae.

Location doesn't make much of a difference because my...

Hi All,

I am hoping that someone can help me with my WRT54G wireless router. I Comcast is my ISP, and I pay for about 12 Mbps. When I plug my computer (PC running Vista) directly into the router...

Thanks for the heads up. Does killdisk need to be run from a DOS disc too? I would still prefer to use the Fujitsu provided utility, though. Can you help me boot the program? These are the...

Hi All,

I have posted here before and everyone was very helpful with getting me through a wireless networking problem. Now, I am hoping someone can be as helpful with a question I have about a...

Just thought I would give an update. I reformatted my hard drive and downloaded network magic to manage the internet connection (instead of letting windows do it). Now it works! Yay! I have no...

Thanks, zeroth. I'll give those a shot first.

My computer has been very slow lately (on and off the internet) and has been acting weird otherwise. I think I am going to reformat the harddrive. Hopefully this will fix ALL of my problems. I...

At first glance, it does not appear as though these latest fixes worked. I will look closer this weekend and possibly try to remove the wireless card.

My laptop has a removable network card.

All of the appropriate boxes are checked.

The Advanced Settings have Ad Hoc Channel 802.11b/g checked. However, it has 11 selected from the drop...

I have taken security off the router and the network card.

There are 8 networks on channell 1.
7 networks on channell 6.
1 on channel 7.
and 24 networks on channell 11.

I have disabled the security.

It has seperate categories for SSID and Name.

I reset the router while I was on the phone with Linksys. I think re-enabled security (WPA, though, not WEP) after I got off the phone and decided...

Also, it says that 34 APs are active, and it says "GPS: Disabled" on the bottom and "56/56" in the lower right hand corner.

Thanks

I just downloaded NetStumbler. Here are the results.

It sees my SSID. It is green (presumably this means it has good signal strength). There is a lock in the green circle (encrypted?).
...

I tried installing new drivers for my wireless card and that didn't do it. I am officially out of ideas. I called Linksys again and they basically told me that there was nothing they can do. This...

I just reset the router and tried to connect. I am having the same, original problem. One thing I did notice, however, is that I have been assigned the 192.168.1.122 IP Address that I was...

Hi zeroth. A couple of things.

1. The security on the network is set to WPA Personal. I checked my PC's security settings. It was set to WPA, but there is also a WPA-PSK option. I tried...

I will give these fixes a shot when I have some time. Thanks for thinking hard about potential solutions!

Yea, the computer still can't browse or access the internet in any way. The Mac is still connected. It is able to browse with the changed DNS address. However, I only changed the DNS on the PC. I...

Thanks for all the help zeroth. Right now, my major concern is getting the PC to browse. I don't really care about getting the computers to communicate.

I changed the DNS server to 68.87.96.3...

The IP Adresses for both machines are 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.201. When I ping from the laptop that works to the one that does not it loses 80% or 90% of the packets. When I ping from the...

I performed a power cycle on the modem, router, and computer. The IP address was the same before and after the power cycle. I still cannot browse. What I really don't understand is that the other...

I'm sorry. I accidentally posted two there. The ipconfig/all results that came from being attached to the network with the changes you recomended are these:


Windows IP Configuration

Hi zeroth,

I performed the check that you recommended. I changed the router's Starting IP Address to 192.168.1.200 and limited the number of users to 10. Here are the results fromt he...

I use Comcast. The modem is getting a signal. When I wire directly into the modem of the router I am able to access the internet.

Our network's name is Brevra. I can see it an 9 others from...

Hi zeroth,

I am connecting to my neighbor's network from my apartment. I just moved into a large apartment building in downtown Boston, so there are a lot of wireless networks in the area. I do...

Here are the results of the ipconfig/all when I am "connected" to my own network. The IP address is still the same even though I have it set to autoconfigure. Also, I turned of the wired connection...

Here are the ipconfig/all results when I am connected to my neighbor's wireless network:

Windows IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : brad-ad2e43e01b

I am set to obtain both IP address and DNS server automatically.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to run the ipconfig/all functions tonight. I will do it tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who has offered help so far!

OK. I'll do that when I get home. Thanks.

Isn't the media disable message message for the wired connection?

I am at work now. I will rerun the two different ipconfig/all when I get home.

Yes, the IP address is the same when I am on both routers. 192.168.1.122

I ran the ipconfig/all. I ran it when I was attached to my neighbor's unencrypted network and my own (not working) network. The results were the same for each. I presume this fact does not bode...

I will do that when I get home from work. Thanks for the response!

Hi All,

I posted this in the Windows XP forum, but no one offered any help. I figured that I would post it in the Networking section to see if anyone here had any ideas. Thanks!


I have read...

No one has any ideas?

Hi All,

I have read this site often, but this is my first post. I have a weird problem with my new wireless network. I am running an HP Pavillion laptop with XP SP2. The router I am using is a...
