Are you saying that you can't open any web page at all?
We need to know your ip configuration:
Start/Run
Enter cmd
At the command prompt, enter ipconfig /all
Right-click, select all
Enter copies to the clipboard
Paste the result to the message window.

thats right, i cant open any webpage at all. so frustrating!

heres my ip configuration:

hopefully someone knows what this means ! =]

First, try a wired connection. This will verify your router is working properly. You have a valid IP address (192.168.2.3) so we know you're connected to the router.
Can you connect to the internet using a wired connection? (This may require you to recycle the modem-just remove the power plug for 10-15 seconds).
Are you getting any errors? Is encryption enabled? You should disable encryption until you have a good wireless connection.
You have IPV6 enabled, and this can cause problems.

Q. How do I uninstall the IPv6 Protocol for Windows XP?

A.

To remove the IPv6 Protocol for Windows XP:

1. Log on to the Windows XP computer with a user account that has local administrator privileges.
2. Open a command prompt. From the Windows XP desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
3. At the command prompt, type:

ipv6 uninstall
Let us know what happens.

i uninstalled the IPv6 protocol, nothing has changed.
please help
i am about to smash this laptop =]

Patience, patience. This is the wonderful world of windows, designed to try your soul in the cauldrons of Hell. You'll emerge as a better person.
Try the wired connection. We need to know if your router is connecting to the internet.
Post ipconfig /all again.
Post the exact model number of your router.
Post the exact model of your computer.
Don't forget to power-cycle the modem.

ok i shall try to be patient

thankyou so much for sticking by me and helping !

Do you have a firewall enabled? If so, turn it off for now.
Check at the Belkin site for a firmware update.
The ASUS site is down at the moment, so I'll have to check them later. If you get a chance, check for a driver update for your wireless card.
Your IP configuration seems to be correct.
You might want to uninstall the wireless card in Control Panel/System and reboot. This sometimes helps.
And please: There is no such device as a "Rowder". It's a "router."
I'll check back with you later.

A few hours later-
It occurred to me that you may not have set up this wireless connection.
You can use the Wizard in Network settings, or just right-click the wireless icon in the system tray/View Available.
Select your connection and click "Connect".

believe me, thats the first place i looked, and the strange thing about this is, it is connected, it says there is a strong connection, but the internet browser for some reason does not work.
