| 627197 | 2008-01-04 03:02:00 | Just read your previous. When you cancel a dialup request it cause the browser to set 'work offline' in the file menu which will prevent you getting to the internet. Go to the browser tools menu/connections tab and set ' never dial a connection' then check the file menu for a tick next to work offline and remove it. |

| 627198 | 2008-01-04 03:26:00 | Just read your previous. When you cancel a dialup request it cause the browser to set 'work offline' in the file menu which will prevent you getting to the internet. Go to the browser tools menu/connections tab and set ' never dial a connection' then check the file menu for a tick next to work offline and remove it. To check / remove the dialup, the exact path (quickest) Open IE > Tools>internet Options>Connections Tab> never dial a Connection. While in IE look for the work off line as advised above. Once you have done what was quoted above try the Ping command - typing in ipconfig will only give the local address, not your actual internet address. Open the command prompt - type in ping 203.96.152.4 Press ENTER- let us know if you get a reply as I posted before or timed out. Regarding the Security - No - I was referring to the password security for your wireless. Sometimes if a password is not accepted for what ever reason, it can block your connection. Disabling it for a few moment to make sure its not blocking is helpful. |

| 627200 | 2008-01-04 04:33:00 | Thanks, jinja_thom. No, I have not had the pc connected by wire at any time. I have typed in the IP address on this computer, my laptop, and got the internal settings of the router. However, I don't see what help this is - i.e. what do I do next? | jno (12040) | ||
| 627201 | 2008-01-04 04:49:00 | Thanks, jinja_thom. No, I have not had the pc connected by wire at any time. I have typed in the IP address on this computer, my laptop, and got the internal settings of the router. However, I don't see what help this is - i.e. what do I do next? Read post 12 & 13 - theres no indication the wireless internet access on the Laptop you are having problems with is actually working, this needs to be confirmed. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 627202 | 2008-01-04 06:09:00 | Jno - I think I for one need a bit more information for instance, what is the model number of the router, is it a WGR614, if it is, what type of modem is it connected to, ADSL or Motorola Cable Modem. Was there a setup cd and instructions included with the router. |

| 627204 | 2008-01-04 08:06:00 | Hi folk. Thanks for all the various messages. To answer them as best I can: #12: I've gone to Tools menu/connections and set "Never dial a connection" and checked that there is no tick beside "Work offline". I did the Ping thing but didn't get the sought-for reply; just 4 "Request timed out". #13: The model number of the router is DG834GAU. #16: There is a setup CD for the router. The instructions on the cover thereof are minimal in the extreme; they say "Click setup and follow the prompts" !!! #17: Sorry about the delay in giving this information; I had a competition golf croquet game to fit in this afternoon and then it was my turn to get the evening meal! I'll check for any responses to this when I get up in the morning, and then I'm off for the first day of a five-day long croquet tournament, but I'll be looking at the postings early morning and in the evening as I want to get this problem sorted! PS. It still is not connecting!! Ah well; time to cut my lunch sandwiches for tomorrow. |

| 627205 | 2008-01-04 08:30:00 | Okay - first of all - Good luck with the croquet tournament - give it heaps, hope the weather is good for you. Now to the PC - Not being able to ping that IP which is Paradise DNS servers, means the internet connection is not working. But its working through it step at a time. 1. Your PC can connect and talk to the router - good 2. The router can not connect to the internet - BAD! Just a couple more questions to clear things up. In post 16 Jinja asked ---- "what type of modem is it connected to, ADSL or Motorola Cable Modem." --- this is very important. ADSL plugs directly from the phone line to the Modem/router. Is it like that ? Cable has a separate Modem. Looks like This here (www.imagef1.net.nz) Which do you have ? Also is there any other PC's connected to the router (currently) that are working on the Internet ? |

| 627206 | 2008-01-04 18:22:00 | Thank you for this. i) ADSL plugs directly into the router ii) There is one other computer connected to the router - this laptop! Must go; will check back again early this evening. |
