How is this possible.....

Hi All,

I have just installed a linksys wireless router and am having trouble with
an upstiars connection. Every time i attemp to access the internet i get a
page connot be displayed check DNS settings on the web page. when i click on
the wireless router software it comes up with - and i quote " you are
connected to the Access point, but the internet cannot be found" obviously
this is the reason i cannot get an internet browser page.

I have attempted to trouble shoot the problem by checking settings on my
firewall. I have Zone Alarm Pro i think they are all ok. i also have Zone
Alarm Pro on my computer upstairs and that also seems ok. Please could
someone help me as i do not know where to turn.

Kind regards

Can you open up the TCP/IP properties and tell me what's in the DNS settings?
Go to Start>Run and type in control.exe netconnections . Is it obtain
automatically?

If it is go to Start>Run and type in cmd. Press OK. From the dos like
window type in ipconfig /all

Look for the numbers for the wireless connection. Your IP address should be
something similar to 192.XXX.XXX.XXX. If your IP address starts with 169
then you're not seeing a DHCP (address) server.

Also look at the DNS number(s). They should be a totally different number,
like 69.68.XXX.XXX or 207.XXX.XXX.XXX.

I suspect your Linksys device is not handing out IP/DNS addresses or passing
them from whatever device on your network hands them out (assuming your
network is not static).

Hi.

Seeing signal in the Wireless configuration application, or reading
somewhere in the system that you are connected, does not mean that you
actually have a functional Wireless connection.

If you can use the Internet with your Wireless Computer, the Wireless
connection is OK. If you do not have an Internet connection available (or
the connection does not work) a simple way to ascertain that you have a
basic Wireless connection is to try to use the Internet Browser in a
Wireless Client computer and find out if you can connect to the Router's
(Access Point) Menus (see your hardware manual for the Router's IP Address,
the login name and the password).

If you cannot connect to the Router this might help.

Wireless Basic Configuration - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Config.html

Wireless Security - http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Security.html

Once the Wireless is actually connected, you need to configure each computer
Sharing settings. May be this can help http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

Assuming WinXP. Start - Programs - Accessories - DOS prompt
(or whatever you do to get to a DOS Command Prompt - it can vary with
configs) the do ipconfig /all on both machines, compare results.
I'd suspect that the non-functional one has a different, or no,
Default Gateway.

I'd consult the manual for your router, personally. Different models, even
from the same manufacturer have different ways. However, it does help to
load the interface to your modem which is usually, but not always, just
opening a web browser and going to whatever IP address your modem is via the
address bar and then checking out each page that is presented to you until
you find NAT. You really do learn that way.
