Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0
your neighbour's router might be configured to issue out only one IP address so even if you have the key, if neighbours pc is on then you will not be able to obtain an IP address and therefore browse |
Check and see if you have an IP Address confliction within the network. In other words 2 computers with the same IP addresses. If you do, just change the last number of the string.
Here's how: Go to Settings (where the Start is at bottom left) and select Network Connections. Find Wireless Network Connection. Right mouse click on it and go to Properties. Highlight on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on Properties. At IP address: , change the last digit of the IP address. Chose a higher number. Chances are the lower numbers are all taken. Click Ok and exit out of all the settings. Now try to open your internet browser again. Hope that helps.

Forgot to mentioned that at the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties, the Default Gateway must be the same of the router that it is used. If you're not sure, ask your neighbor to look it up in his/her computer and see what is that number and set it to the same number. |

Hi, when you fail to connect to the internet, go internet options and delete all temps, cookies etc. Restart ie7, it will not connect right? but now go back to the cookies and copy paste what it shows. |
To answer your question, have your neighbor do the following,
(Don't type the quotes just the command inside) Click on start, then run Type 'cmd' hit enter type ipconfig/all hit enter You need to have a different IP address than he has, so if his is 192.168.1.11, pick the last number and add 100 to it to be safe, so yours would be 192.168.1.111 (just an example) Your netmask will be the same as his, 255.255.255.0 your gateway will be the same as his You also need to have the DNS servers that are listed, there should be 2 of them, write both of them down. So, on your sheet of paper, you will have a unique IP address, the same netmask and gateway, and 2 dns servers. Go to your PC, start, control panel, network connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection, then select properties, On the general tab screen, Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click properties, Then enter your unique IP address, netmask, gateway, and both dns servers. Click ok, then ok again. Then on your notebook/pc, click on start, run, type cmd, hit enter type 'ipconfig/all' hit enter, your info should match your neighbors except for the IP address type 'ipconfig/flushdns' hit enter type 'exit' now try to get online with internet explorer, you should be successful, if your not, post back on here with your results and I'll get back to you.

typo..
I COULD connect, just like the guy up there, but it doesn't work.

I'll will be very interested in the answer to Jules as I have a similar problem. At home, I have the router connected to my PC and my daughter has a laptop with wireless. All this worked fine before she left for the summer. Now that she is back, her laptop sees the internet wireless connection but does not connect to the Internet. Now two weeks later, I moved my PC to another room and the same thing is happening to it. Connection is there but can't access the Web. I know that the adapter is working properly as I use it on my work laptop and everything is fine. Got any ideas for me too?
Thanks Gab

thank you very much, TJ, for getting back to me. Still not working. I thought it would be best for me to copy here the response I got for both the laptop and PC. Hope it helps to figure out what is wrong.

hello. i somehow have the same problem. all was working well with my laptop til today. can't totally connect to the internet. i did transfer the connection to my desktop to check if there's no really connection but it does have. and by the way i've noticed today that when i connect the modem to my laptop it doesn't have that blinking orange light anymore.
|
I seem to have lost TJ. Is there anyone else that can offer some advice to my problem?
Many thanks in advance. Gab |
Gab, you didn't lose me, I got caught up with way too much other things...my apologies.
On your desktop PC, you either have one of three things, a bad cable, a bad network card (Built in most likely), or my suspicion is a bad port on your router. On your laptop, if it cannot receive an ip, which we all realize via the router's DHCP server, it should, I'm also suspecting your router. Do you happen to have a spare around? Wired or wireless, it doesn't matter right now, we just need to see for sure that you can hook up a different router, and get an IP from both your desktop, and laptop. You may be able to search Craigslist and get one really cheap, else try a big box retailer to get one cheap and quick for probably around $25 or so, you don't need anything fancy like "Wireless N" or any of that, you just need a basic wireless router. With that being said, what type of router do you have, you could try factory resetting the router, plug the PC into a different port, with a different cable, and see if it works. Get me the make/model and I'll talk you through it.

Thank you TJ. Sorry, I did not mean to be impatient and no need to apologise. Of course, I understand that you have other things that need looking into.
My work laptop, thanks to which I am still connected to the Internet, uses my D-Link wireless adapter and my router (a D-Link too) so I know all that is working fine, which is why I am sort of baffled by all this. |

You need to get onto the D-link router's configuration page....see if by chance there is a limitation with the number of DHCP clients that are able to connect. I sometimes only set that number to 1 or 2 depending on the client's connections so that way any other connections are rejected. Set it to a range of 10 or so if it's not.
Also while you are in there, there should be a status page, or a page that states something like, DHCP Client's list. Click on that, and see if there are any connections other than your work laptop. If all is like you state, there should only be one DHCP connection, your laptop. If there are any other connections, your security may have been breached if you have it enabled, if you don't, you'll need to enable some sort of security because your neighbors may be pulling off your network. Look onto the back of your PC for a second, where your ethernet cable plugs in, do you have a green link light back there (a tiny green square should be lit right above the cables connector). If that is not lit, the adapter or the cable, or the port on your dlink is bad. First, try a different port on the dlink, if it lights up...good...if not...it's the cable or nic. Let me know if you see anything odd in the dhcp client listing....I sure hope so....if not, and you do have a link light on your pc, we're going to have to factory reset the router and reconfigure it to see if that helps you. I'm heading to bed so I may not reply until morning...(I'm in Omaha, Nebraska, Central Time) Good Luck and keep me posted... |
Thank you TJ. Where can I see the router's config page? Is it possible from my work laptop or should I reconnect my PC directly to the router as it was before I moved it? I looked for it on this laptop but to no avail, maybe because I am connected with an adapter. Would it work if I try to connect my daughter's laptop directly to the router? I'll fill you in on the results later this evening.
Have a great day, Gab (I live near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) |

Hello again TJ
Hope you had a great day. Well I did connect my daughter's laptop directly to the router and everything is working fine. Now my problem is locating the config page of the router. Still searching around for that but not sure what I am looking for. Also should I be setting up a home network? Would that help? Just wondering. Take care and I'll look forward to hearing back from you. Gab |

To get to the config page...
Take your laptop and connect directly to your router. Click start then run type 'cmd' then hit enter type ipconfig hit enter the gateway ip address should be the modem's ip address. (Like 192.168.1.1 or something...) Open up internet explorer, in the address bar, type that address, hit enter Login - username is admi |
