620264 2007-12-12 06:43:00 Are you using any sort of security on the wireless network?

If you are I would delete the wireless network you have set up on the laptop and let it find it again, reconnect and type in the security key again.

If the security key is wrong or somehow gets corrupted it will have the symptons you describe.

620265 2007-12-12 06:59:00 I have an update
I can get into the router configuration from the laptop and it pings it fine, the connection is there.

The IP stack is working but the DNS isn't and I am not sure how what to check next.

620267 2007-12-12 07:31:00 Is the wireless router also the internet router or is it a seperate unit? CYaBro (73)
620268 2007-12-12 07:46:00 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 203 . 96 . 152 . 4
no alternate

wireless router is a seperate unit

620269 2007-12-12 07:58:00 And that ip belongs to what?

Is it your ISP's primary DNS server ip??

If it is, put the default router ip in Primary, and the above DNS under alternate.

620270 2007-12-12 07:59:00 OK so how is the internet router connected?
Can you ping the internet router or connect to it's web config?

620271 2007-12-12 08:10:00 And that ip belongs to what?

Is it your ISP's primary DNS server ip??

If it is, put the default router ip in Primary, and the above DNS under alternate.

I am not sure what that IP belongs too, it was set up over a year ago.

ISP primary is 202.27.158.40 and secondary 202.27.156.72

Tried putting in router IP into primary and no change, same with the Primary and Secondary DNS above




OK so how is the internet router connected?
Can you ping the internet router or connect to it's web config?

Router is wired to the DSL modem which is wired into the line
This computer is wired into the modem.

Yes I can ping the router and access the config from both this machine and the laptop.
The IP Stack appears fine, its gotta be DNS but I don't know where to get a new one.

620272 2007-12-12 08:14:00 You could try ipconfig /flushdns

What are the IP addresses of the wireless AP and the interent modem?

620273 2007-12-12 08:16:00 Ah I found it, it is the primary DNS for Paradise.

Are you with Paradise or Xtra?

202.27.158.40 and 202.27.156.72 are Xtra DNS server ip's

So where are the above 2 ips?? If you're not with Xtra?
