Okay, so your DHCP server is not working.

Try setting up a Static IP -- connect your computer directly to your modem, and then:
Goto Start --> Run --> type CMD --> press OK -->type IPCONFIG /ALL --> copy down the following details:
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
(2) DNS Servers

Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right click on your Local Area Connection --> Select Properties --> Click on Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) once --> Press the Properties button --> Select the option Use the following IP Address: --> Enter in the:
IP Address -- do you remember your IP Schema? Your IP should be something like: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask -- enter in the Subnet Mask that you wrote down earlier.
Default Gateway -- the Default Gateway should by something like 192.168.0.1 (depending on your IP Schema) --> Now select Use the following DNS Servers --> Enter in the two DNS Servers that you wrote down earlier --> Press OK.

Can you now ping the router? Can you now connect to the router's Web Console?

Then retun your settings to Obtain an IP Address automatically and Obtain DNS Server address automatically. Are you sure your Network Adapters passed? You should have recieved some errors... Were you connected via your router when you ran it? Please expand the Network Adapters component and look for and FAILED's in the information provided.

Please goto Start --> Run --> type EVENTVWR and press OK --> Now, look under the System log for any errors and/or warnings. If you find any, please post the relevant heading, along with the details inside by double clicking on the error/warning, and then copy/pasting the information from within.

Ca$ino, there isn't much I can do to help you right now -- there is absolutely no connectivity between your router and your computer. You need to contact your router's manufacturer and ask for support. Without being able to see your hardware, I can't identify what's going wrong.

However, ensure that your router is not in Standby or anything along those lines. The fact that you can't even ping your router has me a little concerned.

[Ca$ino]

how do you ping the router? connect everything to the router and then ping myself?

[Dan]

No, you need to goto Start, Run, type CMD and press OK -- then type: ping [Router's IP] (ie: It should be something like: ping 192.168.0.1 -- or whatever your router's IP is... Look in your router's manual if you don't know (it's the address you use to connect to it's Web Console).

[Ca$ino]

ok....i think i did that too. ill try again

[Ca$ino]

request timed out


this sucks.

[Dan]

this sucks.

Yes, yes it does. What make/model of router do you have?

[Ca$ino]

dlink di-524

i called tech support and the guy got it working. whats funny is that we did pretty much everything you told me to do EXCEPT for unplugging all my cat5 cables and disabling my AV. everything else was the same.

hopefully now the problem i had that made me start this thread in the first place works too. thanks for the help dan. dont close this thread yet though. ill let you know tomorrow if my original problem remains.

[Dan]

Awesome

Thanks for the tip in regards to the cat5 cables as well. I'll add that to my power-cycling steps

Hopefully your problem is resolved now See you tomorrow then.

[Ca$ino]

also add

turn off modem
unplug all cat5 cables
hold the rest button for at least 10sec
plug in the cat5 cables again and let it cycle
plug in modem and let it cycle

we also had to switch it back to "obtain ip and submask automatically"



since you are in here though. how do i secure my wireless signal so people dont steal internet off me?

The easy way -- enable MAC Filtering. You can do this on your routers Web Console. Once you have it enabled, you need to add the Physical Address of all of the computers that you want to allow to use your Network (including your Internet). You can find the phsyical address by going to Start --> Run --> type CMD and press OK --> type ipconfig /all --> look for Physical Address ...... [Address]. However, to be safer, you should enable WEP or WAP if applicable.

• (*NOTE: the below steps only apply to certain variants of wireless routers -- if these steps do not apply to you, proceed directly to Step Two(b): Run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard.)
• Log into the wireless router's web console. You can connect to the web console by typing in the router's IP Address into your Internet Explorer Address Bar. If you do not know the IP Address, consult your manual.
• Upon connecting to the router, you should be queried for a Username and Password. This information will also be located in your manual.
• Once you're logged in, look for a tab in connection to Wireless Settings -- this section will allow you to setup the SSID, broadcasting channel and Encryption.
• The SSID is simply a description of your Network -- anything will do, as long as it's relatively unique to you. You're allowed up to 32 letters to express yourself, but remember that your neighbours might get to see this name at some point!
• Unless there is a specific network key that you must use, allow your router to automatically generate one -- once it has done this, be sure to write down both your SSID and your Network Key (on a piece of paper!).

Step Two(a): Run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard:

• The easiest way to open the Wireless Network Setup Wizard is through the Start Menu: go to Programs, Accessories, then Communications, and you'll find it there.
• The first thing to do when the wizard appears is read the welcome message, and click Next.
• Now, enter the SSID that you created earlier in your router's web console, and that you wrote down on a piece of paper.
• Enter the Network Key that you created earlier in the router's web console, and that you wrote down on a piece of paper.
• If you bought equipment with WPA (stronger encryption), tick that box. Click Next again.
• Unless you have a USB flash drive (it's unlikely), choose the option for manual setup. Don't worry -- it's just a matter of printing out some settings and entering them into your other computers. If you don't use encryption, you can usually skip this step.
• Now, right-click on the wireless icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen -- it looks like a small computer with two lines on the right of it.
• On the menu that appears, click 'View Available Wireless Networks'.
• Now, you should see a list of the wireless networks your computer is in range of. Look for the name of your own network. This will be the name you typed in the setup wizard earlier or, if you use a router, it will probably be the name of your wireless equipment's manufacturer.
  (Note that this is the screen to come to if you ever want to connect to a wireless network other than your usual one -- just double click the one you want, wait a while, and it should work.)
• To make sure Windows knows which network is yours, you need to click 'Change the order of preferred networks' on the left of the available networks screen.
• You should click the 'Add' button to add the name of your network to this list, and use 'Remove' to take away any that aren't yours.
• When you've highlighted your network, click Properties, and then go to the Connection section.
• Make sure 'Connect when this network is in range' is ticked. If all else fails, you might have to take your printout from the Wireless Network Setup Wizard and enter that information on each computer.
• Your network should now be ready -- ignore Step Two(b), as it only applies if your router does not have the option to enable WEP in it's Web Console.

Step Two(b): Run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard:

• The easiest way to open the Wireless Network Setup Wizard is through the Start Menu: go to Programs, Accessories, then Communications, and you'll find it there.
• The first thing to do when the wizard appears is read the welcome message, and click Next.
• Now, type a name for your network -- anything will do, as long as it's relatively unique to you. You're allowed up to 32 letters to express yourself, but remember that your neighbours might get to see this name at some point! (Note: if you already have an SSID and Encryption Key, then you must enter these, rather than creating new ones.)
• Unless you already have a network key that you absolutely must use, select the Automatically Assign a Network Key radio button.
  (Note: You should write down -- on a piece of paper -- both your SSID and your Network Key!)
• If you bought equipment with WPA (stronger encryption), tick that box. Click Next again.
• Unless you have a USB flash drive (it's unlikely), choose the option for manual setup. Don't worry -- it's just a matter of printing out some settings and entering them into your other computers. If you don't use encryption, you can usually skip this step.

ok i enabled wep, changed the channel and ssid. and how do i work the firewall? i put it on enable but it wants me to put an ip range.


and i checked my other computer. the problem remains but it looks like i just have to log on with the admin profile, log off and log on with one of the other for those profiles to get access.
