| 460074 | 2006-06-02 13:03:00 | Is the ADSL user/pass entered correctly? Is DNS set up correctly? Can you ping google.com? Can you ping 64.233.167.99 (also google.com)? | Erayd (23) | ||
| 460075 | 2006-06-02 13:08:00 | laptop sees router and modem easily and ping succeeds, ping fails on anything outside the network including google as posted above. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 460076 | 2006-06-02 13:13:00 | Is the ADSL user/pass entered correctly? Is the modem actually online? This (pressf1.co.nz) thread may also end up being useful, as the issues sound similar (although this guy has a combined router/AP and yours are separate) |

| 460077 | 2006-06-02 13:20:00 | Modem is online as its also connected to this machine (desktop) the pass is entered correctally in the modem configuration settings not sure where to enter it on the laptop if at all. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 460078 | 2006-06-02 13:27:00 | modem and access point model numbers may help. are you using wep/wpa check your local IP's for clashes |

| 460080 | 2006-06-02 13:36:00 | If the desktop is connected to the internet via the same setup, it's obviously an issue with the laptop. It's clearly not the wireless, as you can ping the modem with it. Just a shot in the dark, but I think you haven't set up the gateway addressing correctly (on the laptop). Are you using DHCP or manual configuration? If DHCP, which device is acting as the server? You don't need to enter the ADSL user/pass on the laptop. |
