hello there, i am not sure if i am posting this in the correct area but hopefully i can get some help. :) Currently my computer will not connect to a wireless network. Although it does show that it is connected and at full strength when I go to open firefox or IE it will say that I am not connected to the internet. I am not sure if this is a comuter problem or something to do with my routers. This is the setup i have at home: I have a comcast DSL thing, a linksys wireless G broadband router and a vonage box that also has internet. My computer usually connects to either the "linksys" or "DlinkVWR" (which is the vonage singal). Currently I have a wire going from the comcast box directly to my computer in order to access the internet. I have restarted my router systems a few times.. but i must be doing somehting wrong because it still will not work.:) Thank you for your help!

Hi There

Are the wireless security settings on your machine the same as those set on the router?

Kizzez,

Let's try a couple of simple steps, open up a Command Prompt (go to Start button, Run, type in cmd).

At the command prompt window type in ipconfig /all and post the results.

Also try pinging to your router's IP and post the response you get.

Hi There

Will probably show an APIPA IP address if he cannot connect to the router or join the wifi network.

OK, run the command prompt and type in ipconfig /all again.

When you get the results, highlight the results starting at where it says "Windows IP Configuration" and move your mouse until you've selected all the information. Do not click in the command prompt area or you'll drop the selection you've just made.

In the upper left hand corner of the command prompt window is a black area that has c:\ in it. Right click on the black box, select "edit" and then "copy". You may now past the information into your post.

I would suggest completely removing one of the routers (Linksys) from the set up as this would most likely be the problem unless a multiple router setup is configured. Its a simple quick test since the problem isn't your computer or your modem.

so i unplugges my linksys system in hopes that just using the vonage DLINKVWR would work. So then i restarted both the router and my computer and my computer still connects to dlinkvwr but will not connect to the internet. Windows then told me that it wont connect because "There may be a problem with your DNS configuration"

It appears you have your modem plugged into your computer?

Can you verify the modem is plugged into the WAN port on the dlink (vonage router)

once verified, see if you can access the internet, if no then try the following

At command prompt enter the following commands (or copy/paste) pressing "enter" after each one

ping 192.168.15.1
ping 74.125.45.100
ping google.com

Post the results please
