| 644033 | 2008-02-27 04:57:00 | I have a Lynksys wireless router. I have recently shifted house and got a new laptop -a Toshiba Tecra with Win XP (Ministry of Ed Lease.) I can connect to the router and internet fine using a cable. I can also connect ok on other wireless networks. My own wireless network connects, but says 'limited or no connectivity'. I can't access the Internet or email. I have spent hours on this! It seems to be something to do with an IP address, but I don't know how to fix it. I have logged onto the router, but I don't know what to look for. (Everything worked fine in my old house with my old laptop.) Can someone please help? | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 644034 | 2008-02-27 05:05:00 | Is your wireless connection set to DHCP, or are you using a static IP? If you're using DHCP, does that come from your Linksys router, or your ADSL modem? Also, check the LAN security settings on your Linksys too - is MAC filtering enabled? |

| 644035 | 2008-02-27 05:12:00 | Thank you. I'll check these things and let you know. | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 644036 | 2008-02-27 05:18:00 | It has DHCP enabled. <does that come from your Linksys router, or your ADSL modem?> I don't know how to find this out. Can you explain? |

| 644037 | 2008-02-27 05:37:00 | You can open a command window from your Run box, and type ipconfig /all This will tell you the IP address of your DHCP server - is it the address of your wireless router, or your ADSL modem? |

| 644038 | 2008-02-27 05:46:00 | And make sure both are on the same channel, and using the same encryption. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 644039 | 2008-02-27 19:29:00 | I don't suppose any of you guys live near Whakatane and could sort it for me. <sigh> An a/c would be expected. | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 644040 | 2008-02-27 20:08:00 | Alas no - but keep at it!! I'm sure it's nothing too serious! We'll get it sorted for you! :thumbs: I know from experience how frustrating wireless setup can be!! :mad: So have you done everything we've suggested so far? |

| 644041 | 2008-02-28 04:28:00 | sorry to be so ignorant ... where is my adsl modem? and how do I find it's settings? | Rossini (12327) | ||
| 644042 | 2008-02-28 05:08:00 | Is it different to the Linksys router? | Rossini (12327) | ||
