Make sure that your IE or Netscape is configured properly with your connection settings - the Router & Wireless Card should have info on how to do this.\n\nIf you're certain that both the card & Router are configured properly, call your ISP - they can walk you through your settings and see if there are any changes that need to be made.

We were having the same problem at work with our Verizon Wireless PC cards! The only way that I could get our internet/LAN to continue working was to install ONLY the driver for the wireless card...not the software pack. I had Verizon Wireless send me the individual file for the cards drivers. After I received the driver I set it up just like a modem (since that is all it is). I no longer have the pretty Verizon menu showing the connection and strength but heck it worked!

Let's take this one step at a time starting with the Modem/Router issue.  When you connect the modem to the router you are using an RJ45 connection?  This should allow the router to connect to your ISP.\n\nNext you should be connecting your computer to the router, either wired or wireless.  I would start out wired with another RJ45 connection.\n\nYou said "I have been trying to set up one of my computers as a server"; what did you want this computer to do as a server?  Is this suppose to provide your intranet with IP information, DNS, sign on authentication, or are you planning it to host your web set to the world?  Each of these is a different function and do not effect your connecting the router and modem to the Internet.

Be sure your wireless network card/laptop is really connected to the internet. Likewise your laptop might be just connected to a LAN connection, that's why you will not be able to open up websites. Ip addresses should be dyanmic (automatically detect settings). You can change your ip address at TCP/IP settings.\n\nIn this case you might also need to check the wireless connection settings. I think should be located at your taskbar, I don't know what the color of the icon because it depends on what wifi card you are using. Another thing is you should be near the WiFi access point which provides internet connection for you. You will not have internet connection by simply using your laptop. Therefore an access point is very important, that is the device which provides net connection for you and you should be at least near it about 10-20 feet to get a better speed.\n\nI'm not sure this helps but Good Luck! :)

Computers can be temperamental and times, and wireless Internet connections can complicate things.  Your computer might have changed the setting all by itself.  What you might try, click on start, then connect to, then click show all connections.  On the window that opens up, right click on wireless connections, click repair.  The computer should dump your wireless Internet cache reassign IP address and reconnect you to your wireless Internet.  I hope this helps.

down in the lower right corner, when it says you can not connect, click it and it should bring up a list of options, hit repair, if the options dont appear, right click on the icon at the taskbar near the clock, and hit repair, let it do its stuff for a few minutes, then try again when it says its done, even if it said it failed, it should work, if not, look for the manual for the laptop to see how to reinstall the drivers for the wireless card/chip. i had the same problem with my toshiba, but i took the WEP off the router so it runs without problems.

Try unplugging the router, and replugging it in. You can also disable and re-enable the wireless connection. sometimes that helps.\nhttp://compnetworking.about.com/od/windowsxpnetworking/ht/conndisenable.htm\n\n--Sam

Since you said you could connect to your neighbor's network, I'm assuming you have a wireless network. \nOn the computer that won't connect:\n1. Distance/interference?\n2. Any firewalls?\nOn the router:\n1. Any MAC or packet filters?\n2. Updated Drivers?

Pngarrett response is good.  Question #1 -- Do you have a Router that allows you to share your internet connection?\nIF NO -- purchase one\nIf yes -- proceed to my additional advise...\n\nOne item to add is to verify the settings of the computer that works.  1. Select the Windows Start button  2. Select Run  3. type  "cmd" (without the quotes).  4. select ok.   5. type "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes)  6. write down the ip address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS information.   \n\nNow go to the computer needing the computer repair.  1. Select Start 2. Settings 3. Control Panel 4. Network Connections  5. Right click and select properties on Local Area connection.  6. Select Properties on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 7. make sure the ip address is 20 more than the good pc.   So if the good PC is 192.168.1.20, make yours 192.168.1.40 -- type the sub net mask -- type the default gateway -- type the preferred DNS.  Select OK | Select OK again.  Power Down your computer and reboot.   This should help and correct your headache.

Ok, a few steps:\n1. Try connecting the modem to the computer. If u are unnable to connect to the internet the the problem could be youre modem(mo signal or hardware malfunction) or the cable you are using\n2. If step 1 succeds (and youre connection is ok) try connecting your modem to the router, router to the computer, access the router from youre computer (it mostlikely has a web interface accesable by a private space address - check the routers instruction manual to see it's default address and what address you should use for youre computer) and try to configure the wan interface on youre router....If that fails hmmm..I never got to that but come back and we'll try more :D

Your DSL company probably will not give you any support on the router *unless* you bought it from them.\n\nHowever, it does sound like either:\n\n1.  A matter of plugging the wires up in the right place.\n2.  A configuration problem with your router.\n\nThe DSL modem obviously recognizes the router or you wouldn't be able to log on with either computer.\n\nAs an alternative, your router probably has four ports for computers, try pluggin in the non-working computer to a different port and see if you have a bad port.

Unplug Your router from the power source leaving both your PC and Xbox connected, then plug the routers power supply back in.  This should work for you as I had the same problem at first and my Computer guy clued me in to this.  As an aside my son is on Xbox live playing halo as I type this so it MUST work!  Good luck.

is everyone om here faulty or something. the guy said do not to recommend another browser!!!!\n\nanyway i would start off at looking at your connections in internet options. if you are using a proxy make sure it is set in here. the next thing i would check is your home page settings, change it to another page. also check whether all your network connections are working and enabled (do you have an internet connection).\n\ni dont think you need to deactivate your firewall. it should work because firewalls usually let through communiction via http.

It might be a IRQ issue try taking out the network card not the wireless card if you have one and then try it again.

Your desktop machine is wired directly to the router? \nHere are some tests to try.  At your desktop machine, open a command window \n\nStart / Run  then type cmd and click OK \nNow ping your NIC [network interface card] by typing this in the command window\nping 127.0.0.1\nHit the Enter key.  You should receive 4 replies if your NIC is working.  If not, that's your first problem. \n\nIf the NIC is good, ping your router... The IP you need to use kind of depends on which router you bought.  Belkin tends to use the less typical 192.168.2.1 but if your router is also your DSL modem, you'll need to find out what it's default IP is.. \nAnyway, ping as before \nping 192.168.2.1 \nor the more typical \nping 192.168.1.1 \nand hope for the best... \n\nIf your router passes these tests, check your TCP/IP settings... \nStart / Control Panel / Network Connections \nRight click your wired lan card and choose Properties. On the General tab, select Internet Protocol [TCP/IP] and click the Properties button. \n\nThe first settings to try should be to obtain the IP and DNS automatically BUT if there are numbers entered, write them down before making a change!  Click OK to make the changes take effect.  Either open your browser or go back to the command window and ping www.yahoo.com \n\nThere is more to try but I've at least scratched the surface for you...

First you need to make sure that both PCs are in the same workgroup. once you confirm that then make sure the Firewall is not blocking the Traffic on the XP side. I used to have this problem until I added the Computer name as part of my trusted PC in the Firewall.

make sure that you are using same IP range in both the router. ( IE. 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 ) with 255.255.255.0 same subnet. if you are using different range other one it might cause you this problem.\n\nare you able to ping that node ( PC )\n\nhave you installed all services in all PC.\n\nare you using firewall ( third party firewall ) in any PC.\n\nit would be easy for me to give you correct solution if you can provide more details.
