See if your wireless switch is on. Depending on your operating system, during the boot process press either F-8 or Ctrl key…….This will take you to the Bios telling you if the wireless switch is on.

sounds like a headache to me. my dad uses DSL which shares a phone jack with the regular telephone via a cheap connecter. then the line runs into his DSL modem. From there he has an ethernet chord running into a wireless router. From there he has an ethernet chord running into his actual computer. Not to mention the wireless network itself.  Then on top of that mess he has a different, ever changing, password for each device and his computer is so loaded down with adware and spyware and who knows what else so whenever there is even the smallest problem it is like finding a needle in a haystack.\n\nLOOK AT YOUR CHORDS! are any of them messed up at all?\n\nare you using a wireless network and all of your neighbors are getting online through your connection without you knowing? that would be funny. \n\nIf youre on anything faster than dial-up you shouldnt be having such slow problems. \n\nI think windows is unable to renew this IP address means that you keep getting disconntected from you ISP. Probably your routers fault.\n\nI dont know man. my advice is KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. reinstall your router. Try connecting to the internet without your router and if it works good than you know for sure the problem is something with your router. .... no matter what i can tell youre in for a headache. Good luck

What version of windows are you using? Do you know if you have Windows Service Pack 2? If not, that is probably what's wrong - download the latest Windows Updates from the Windows Update website (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/)\n\nDo you know if your computer is set to automatically connect? To check, do the following:\n\n1) Go to Start menu ---> Settings ---> Network connections (Or alternatively, Control Panel ---> Network connections)\n\n2) Right click on the connection that is connecting to the router, and select 'properties'. You should see a list of protocols - like, TCP/IP and Windows File and Printer Sharing.\n\nClick the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selection, and hit 'Properties'.\n\n3) You SHOULD see that 'Obtain an IP adress Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server addresses automatically' are both selected. If not, select them, and press ok.\n\n4) Once this is done, try unplugging/reconnecting your wireless card, if you can.\n\nIf none of this works, there could be a number of reasons:\n\nYour computer is too far away from the receiver.\nYou need to update your Windows to the latest version.\nIf you are using a router, the router may be encrypted.\nYour network card could be faulty.\n\nI'd suggest finding someone that knows about computers and networking that lives nearby to come and help you with it all. You can only explain so much on the Internet!

Hi I know this can be very frustrating and I sympathize with you.  The main reason that I think that your computer is not working correctly with your router and your mom's is, is because your computer's security key doesn't match the security key of the hard-wire(your mom's) router.  When the company from the wireless Internet provider sets up the network connection they set up a profile including a security key, if they key doesn't match the router key, it won't work.  A good solution for this problem is to locate your profile, it will probably show up if you click on your wireless icon (it may be located on the bottom of your screen by the time) and double click on it.  On the profile it should say something like settings and under there it should have a security passphrase.  If you know the passphrase I would re-type it and then click apply if not call your provider and explain that you need to know the passphrase to fix the problem, they should give it to you.  Once you type it in, click apply and this should fix the problem but when you are retyping them, make sure that they are the same on each computer.  I hope that this isn't too confusing and that it helps you.  Good Luck!

Setting up network is complex. Setting up wireless is more complex. And then security adds more complextiy still. It is possible to do it "all in one shot." However doing so will make it nearly impossible to identify where the installation went wrong. Instead, my recommendation is to do this a step at a time, performing each step on the web page that manages your router and on the configuraion utility on PC. After step 2, ensure that you still have a connection, then move on to the next step.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nAnd, whether you are working on a wired or wireless network, it is recommended that you configure the router while using a wired connection\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nIf you have DSL/PPPoE, ensure that you have your logon information before you start.\n\n1. Download and install the latest firmware for the router from the manufacturer's website\n2. Download and install the latest drivers and configuration utilty for your PC from the manufacturer's website Wired and Wireless. For wireless do not use the Windows WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) Utility. It has many known problems, including inability to see connections and dropping connections\n3. Perform a hard reset (typically by pressing and holding a pin/button on the back of the router) to reset the router to factory configuration.\n4. (Wireless only) Remove any configuration of your wireless card on the PC, if the card was previously configured\n5. (Wireless only) If you have a multi-mode router (b,g, pre-N), make sure your router is set to support the right networks. (Some of these routers (e.g.Linksys) can be set for specific networks. For example, if you have both b and g devices, you must set the router to "mixed mode" for both to connect)\n\nOnce you have done this, you should access your router's web page to\n\n6. Change your routers password\n7. Configure your network connection type. For DSL, you typically need to set it as PPPoE, and then enter your logon/password information. For cable modem, you typically needs to set it to DHCP. No logon or password is required. (DHCP for cable modem is usually the default)\n8. Enable IPSec Passthrough if you need to connect to a VPN at the office\n9. (Wireless only) Set SSID to your desired setting on router (not the default) and laptops/PCs and verify connectivity to the internet from each laptop / PC Required for wireless only\n10. (Wireless only) Disable SSID broadbast on the router and verify connectiviy (Longer is better, less obvious is better) Required for wireless only\n11. (Wireless only) Set WEP/WPA/WPA2 and verify connectivity (WEP/WPA/WPA2 should be set to something different than the SSID) (Longer is better, less obvious is better) Required for wireless only See security note below\n12. (Wireless only) (Optional depending on how paranoid you are) Set MAC filtering and verify \n13. (Optional if hosting games) Configure DMZ \n\n\nNote: Routers now frequently come with autoconfiguration setup software. While there is nothing wrong with this software, you should be aware that this software often does not support non standard configuations (e.g. LAN only, no internet) or all capabilities. (e.g. MAC ID filtering). If your needs extend beyond what the autoconfiguration tool supports, then perform a manual configuration by accessing your router's web page\n\nSecurity noteOnly WPA/WPA2 is not easily hacked. Any other type of security should only be viewed as enough to stop casual eavesdropping. If you use WEP you should expect that if someone wants your data, that they can get it.\n\nPLEASE GO THROUGH THIS TOOV V V V V V V \nhttp://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_zdpcm/is_200403/ai_ziff120551

There are many ways to secure your router and when setting it up the D-LINK CD-ROM should help you set this up.\nI have attached a link that can help with this.\nI think the best security out there is WPA.\n\nIt is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. If you are configuring the router from a wireless connection, please be aware that as soon as you enable encryption on the router, you will lose connectivity until you enable encryption on the wireless card you are using. \n\nNote: Your network will slow down and wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead. \n\nStep 1 Log into the web configuration of the router by opening up a web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). \n\nStep 2 The default username is admin (all lower case), and the password is blank (nothing). Click OK . Select the Home tab and click the Wireless button on the left hand side of the screen. \n\nStep 3 Select enable next to the WEP radio buttons. For WEP encryption select 64 or 128-bit encryption. For the Key type select HEX. \n\nNote: 40-bit and 64-bit encryption is the same as well as 104-bit and 128-bit. Please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=480 for more info. \n\nStep 4 Select Key 1. Enter a Hex encryption key that you make up. The length of the encryption key will depend on what you selected under WEP Encryption. \n\n64-bit encryption 10 characters \n128-bit encryption 26 characters\n256-bit encryption 58 characters (DI-614+ Only)\n\nThe encryption key is HEX, meaning 0-9 and A-F are valid characters. \n\nStep 5 Click on the Apply button then click on the Continue button to save your settings.

windows xp wireless works in a different way than windows 98. \non your router, have you enabled 'WAP' . if you have then provide the access key in the windows xp wireless settings. \n\nif you have not enabled 'wap', then enable it. Windows xp rarely connects to unsecure wireless connections. \n\nmy best suggestion is to reset your router and start fresh. configure the router from the computer that it is connected to. \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/wifisoho.mspx

The problem isn't with your computer but with your Wireless router. Your Windows firewall is probably working just fine.\n\nYou need to log in to your wireless router, create a unique SSID (located on the router), and configure security. It'll ask for a pass phrase. Save the phrase or the converted hex string and the SSID. Then you'll need to configure it into your Windows system. Check the Wireless properties.\n\nYou might also get your MAC address from the windows box (Start, Run, Cmd. In the command window, type ipconfig /all. One of the items is your Mac address. Save that.) On the router, you should be able to restrict access to the router by specific MAC. Activate that and enter your MAC.\n\nOnce that's all done, your wireless router should be reasonably secure.\n\nThis site should have expanded answers that might help if what I said above isn't as clear as I'd like it to be.\n\nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/wireless_secure.htm

your wireless router doesn't have WEP turned on.  In order to have a secured wireless network both the router and the laptop have to be configured properly.  \n\nTo setup a wireless router see the lifehacker example.  If you  have WPA encryption supported on both your Wireless Adapter and your Router, use it instead of WEP (which can be broken very easily).

You should specify which model router you have, and what type of computer and operation system software - laptop or desktop, Windows version or Mac OS.\n\nAlso mention what setup you were using to connect when it used to work on wireless.\n\nA telephone modem and Ethernet LAN connection would not generally be a wireless capable device in your computer.  It could be that the icon controlling your WIFI hardware is clicked to the OFF position.  Check each item in the lower right screen system tray using right-click of the mouse.

How do you know that you aren't having issues with the PC that cannot see the Router?  The Drivers on your wireless card maybe cannot see the router.  Do you have broadcase enabled on the router?

Few things to look for:\n\n1. Do you have cable or dsl or dial connection?\n2. Earlier when you did not have the router, were you entering the login/password to connect to internet? If so, you have to configure your cable/dsl modem to host the login/password. For SBC DSL modem you can do it by http://192.168.1.0/ and there is a option available in "advanced configuration" to do that.\n3. Did you connect the ethernet cable from the cable/dsl modem to the \n    WAN port of the router?\n4. Are you getting the Dynamic IP assigned by the router? Check it by Start->Run->Cmd->ipconfig. It should show you some IP address like 192.168.1.x.\n5. Run the following command in the command window (start->Run->cmd)\n       ping www.yahoo.com\n\nHope this helps.

I have three PC's networked with a wireless router at home. (Netgear 54Mbps Wireless ADSL Firewall Router). This router is a combination of five products - ADSL 2 +modem+router+firewall+802.11g access point and a four port Ethernet switch.\n\nTwo of the comps are wireless connected, while one is wired. The wireless connected PC's have a wireless antenna each that receives the signals.\n\nHas the installation and configuration been done correctly?\nWhy not ask your new router vendor to look into the problem?\n\nAs far as the cable outlets are concerned, the jack has to crimped on to the wire and then connected, else use an adaptor. Repeat for this too Why not ask your new router vendor to look into the problem?\n\n(My arrangement cost me about Rs.6000/- in India, that's about US$130 to 150/- and included free installation by the vendor, including a wire of 5 meter (15 feet) Length and matching jacks at each end - that's about 9 months ago.)\nst\n\nAll da best! Hope this helped!

I think that your are correct in thinking that everything is fine. Especially if both of you can get on the Internet.\n\nIF your ADSL modem is also acting as a router (which I guessing it does), \nAND both you and your sister's computers have DHCP enabled* \nTHEN everything is configured for you automatically!\n\nIn fact, you can connect more computers to your new switch and they will be configured automatically for the Internet as well.\n\n* Note: DCHP is what allows your computers to be automattically configured by your router. Windows 2000, XP and recent verions of the Mac OS have this installed as a standard option.

You have to set-up a connection with the wireless internet you're trying to connect to, since each is different. Not sure how to do it since I don't know what computer you're running, but there should be Network settings somewhere where you have to create a new connnection. You'll probably have to find out a certain name/password depending on the network you're trying to connect to. Whereever you are there should be some help somewhere on how to do this.

Ask your wireless router provider how you could do that (Belkin, Linksys, Hawkingtech, and other brands).\n\nAlso you can access it's main local IP Address to access the configuration panel\n\nlike if your local was like 192.168.40.243 then the Main Config IP would be 192.168.40.1. With encryption you don't have to use 1 computer with wireless to use encryption. All you have to do is write down the WEP, or WAP key so that the other computers can use encryption.\n\nAlso you could check your routers manual.
