The NetBT error only occured once I think, and it was pretty far down the list.

Okay, I went through the setup after changing my computer's name. I chose "add this computer to existing network" and used my flashdrive.

Still no internet.

I am able to connect when I connect an ethernet cable from my laptop to my router. (I'm on it right now) I had to disable the wireless function in order to do so though.

I am able to connect when I connect an ethernet cable from my laptop to my router. (I'm on it right now) I had to disable the wireless function in order to do so though.

In that case, are you sure you're entering the correct SSID and Encryption Key when you try to connect Wirelessly?

Please disconnect from the router (try to go Wireless again), and then type: PING 192.168.200.1 -- please post the results.

Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right click on your Local Area Connection --> Select Properties --> Click on Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) once and press the Properties button --> Select the option Use the following IP Address: --> Enter in the IP Address [192.168.200.11], Subnet Mask [255.255.255.0] and Default Gateway [192.168.200.1] --> Now select Use the following DNS Servers --> Enter in these two DNS Servers [192.168.1.254 and 192.168.1.254] --> Press OK.
Restart your computer and attempt to connect to the Internet; are you able to?

If not, please try to PING 192.168.200.1 again, and post the results. Along with this, run the following test again:
Test your Network
1. Goto Start, Run, type: NETSH DIAG GUI - press 'OK'. A Command Prompt window will open temporarily; don't touch it, it will disappear in a moment.
2. A Microsoft Help and Support window will then open; select the option 'Scan your system'.
3. Wait for the scan to finish and then scroll down to the heading 'Modems and Network Adapters'. Look at 'Network Adapters' (don't expand it yet). Beside your connection information, you should see a green 'PASSED'; if you do not (if you see a red 'FAILED') then expand 'Network Adapters', scroll down the list until you see the heading with the 'FAILED', expand that option and copy and paste the results here.
In the NETSH DIAG GUI, you should be looking for any red 'FAILED', however the key one is Network Adapters for you. If you see any other red FAILED, expand the component and copy the results.

If you still cannot connect (and after you have run the PING and NETSH commands), then retun your settings to Obtain an IP Address automatically and Obtain DNS Server address automatically.

Please post a new ipconfig /all for your laptop.

Thanks,
Dan.

As for the TCP/IP settings, it won't let me have the DNS and alternate DNS be the same.

[Dan]

Sorry, just enter the DNS Server address once, as the main server. Leave the alternate server blank.

[gwhoosh]

Okay, I'm still not able to access the internet.

When I PING it, it says request timed out.

The scan failed in DefaultIPGateway: request timed out.
and
DNSServerSearchOrder: request timed out.
but it passed in IPAddress.

Here's the ipconfig with the changed settings:

How can I check to see if the SSID and Key are correct?

[Dan]

How can I check to see if the SSID and Key are correct?

On one of the computers that is actually connected, type: 192.168.200.1 into your Internet Explorer Address Bar, and then enter your Username/Password. Once logged in, look at your Wireless Settings, and it should tell you there.

[gwhoosh]

Oh I see, but I don't think I know my username and password.

[Dan]

Hopefully it's still the default; what's the make/model of your router?

You can try these combo's:
Username: admin
Password: admin
--OR--
Username: Leave blank
Password: admin
--OR--
Username: admin
Password: password

Those are some of the more common combinations -- however if they don't work, just post your router's make/model, and I should hopefully be able to find out the Defaults.

[gwhoosh]

Ok, none of those worked out. It's a Linksys wireless-g broadband router model WRT5G according to its stickers

Edited by gwhoosh, 24 February 2006 - 07:44 PM.

[Dan]

Well, with Linksys, the Default username and password is generally:
Username: <leave blank>
Password: admin
And we've already tried that. I can't find much information on your make/model of router -- and nothing that is of any help; would anyone have changed your default username/password?

You could try a simple power-cycle to see if it'll help... First of all, setup a Static IP again (following the steps above) and then:

• Power off your computer(s).
• Shutdown / unplug your modem.
• Shutdown / unplug your router.
• Wait two minutes.
• Power on your modem. Wait until the modem is completely restarted before the next step. This may take upward of two minutes.
• Power on your router. Wait until the router completely restarts. This also can take upward of two minutes.
• Power on your computer.

Once done, attempt to connect to your network/the Internet; are you able to?

Still no go? Please goto Start, Run, type CMD and press 'OK' - now type: netstat -rn and press enter; please post the results here.

Thanks,
Dan.

[gwhoosh]

If there's a way to go about this without having to unplug the router and such that'd be better because there are 3 machines that connect to it to get internet (not including my unfunctional one) and I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with plugging/unpugging.

Here's what it gave me for netstat -rn:

Could you please try restarting your laptop into Safe Mode with Networking, and then run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard again / try to connect to your network.

How to restart into Safe Mode with Networking
Please restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt and Safe Mode with Networking (along with a few others). Please tap the down key until you reach Safe Mode with Networking, and then press the Enter key. Your computer should now boot into Safe Mode with Networking.

Along with this, whilst in Safe Mode, please also do the following:

• Right-click My Network Places and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
• Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
• Select the Wireless Networks tab.
• Under the Preferred Networks heading, you will see a list of every wireless network you have ever connected to -- is your wireless Network listed there?
• Select the wireless network you wish to automatically connect to and click the Properties button.
• Select the Connection tab.
• Check the box next to Connect when this Network is in range, and click OK.

Are you able to connect to your Wireless Network?

[gwhoosh]

No. Everything is as it was.

EDIT: I mean, yes to connecting to network. No to browsing internet.

Edited by gwhoosh, 28 February 2006 - 09:00 PM.

[Dan]

EDIT: I mean, yes to connecting to network. No to browsing internet.

So, when you goto Start, Run, type CMD and press OK, and then type: PING 192.168.200.1 you get four responses, and it doesn't say Connection timed out? Please copy/paste the results of that ping into your next reply.

I'm still not sure if you're actually connecting to your router or not... Do you currently have a Static IP setup, or is it a Dynamic IP (ie: DHCP?). Can you please post (another..) ipconfig /all

I really need you to be able to log into your router's web console Would anyone have changed it from the Default username/password? It's possible that some one may have enabled MAC filtering, and your computer may not have it's address added. You could always reset it back to factory defaults, however you have already expressed concerns about fiddling with the hardware.
