Router Connectivity

I cannot connect to the internet using a Cradlepoint MBR 1000. I spent about
30 minutes on the phone with Cradlepoint techs, and they couldn`t help me. I
can connect on another computer with the router. Both computers have XP and I
am connecting the router the same way to both computers. I can send packets,
but I cannot receive.

Thanks for any help.

Melvin,

Can we look at "ipconfig /all" from both computers?

Thanks for the reply, Chuck

Here is what I get from ipconfig/all on the computer that works.

1. DHCP enabled--Yes
2. Autoconfig--Yes
3. IP Address--192.168.0.199
4. Submask--255.255.255.0
5. Default Gateway--192.168.0.1
6. DHCP Server--192.168.0.1
7. DNS Servers--192.168.0.1
192.168.0.2

The only difference on the ipconfig/all of the computer that DOES NOT work
is the IP Address. It is 169.254.55.131

It seems that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be having
problems with their DNS servers. You should be able use a different
DNS "service" server IP addresses. You can try using the OpenDNS
servers:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

The PC that is getting an IP of 169.254.xxx.xxx is not able to get an
IP from your router, for some reason. One possibility is that any
"enhanced" Internet access security softwares can block access to your
wireless network SSID (aka network name).) This is what happened to
me when I was using Norton 360. The software was blocking my SSID
access until I told the software to "trust" my network SSID.

I tried OpenDNS with those numbers. I had to stop. They are having a bunch
of trouble related to Google that seems to be getting worse. It used to be
only with Clients that ran the Google Toolbar,...but we started having
connectivity problems with just the regular www.google.com site. As soon as
I stopped using OpenDNS all went back to normal.

The 192.168.0.2 does not seem right. If you are using the firewall device
as the DNS then there would only be the one number of 192.168.0.1

That isn't likely to be the root of your problem,..but it might be the next
problem you will have.

I have not had any Google related problem when using the OpenDNS
servers. If you reverted back from OpenDNS and the Internet is
working correctly, you definately have a problem with the DNS
servers / DNS "name" resolution on the "affected" PC. If you get this
problem again, try:

Start
RUN
CMD

then at the "Command Prompt" window,

ipconfig /flushdns
