My second computer is connected to linksys router access point and loght is on...but still not connected. I am not getting any ipconfig. What am I missing

first you need to make sure the card is enabled, even when disabled the light will be on showing the physical connection. Second, make sure you are set to automatically receive an ip and dns address. third, go into your linksys and make sure MAC filtering is not turned on, if it is you either need to add the mac address of your new machine or turn mac filtering off. if by chance this is a wireless connection then you need to make sure you have put in the correct Encryption key. Also check under your device manager, make sure the network card is correctly installed, if not then this is why it aint working, finally after all of these things have been checked and everything is good, goto your command prompt and preform a loopback test. You do this by pinging local host ( ping localhost or ping 172.0.0.1)\n\nif this fails your network card is bad.

I'm gonna take a shot on this and say it is an encryption issue. Both sides of the connection (the router and your computer) must be enabled with identical encryption code. If they are NOT the same, they will not connect. Also, look into changing channels. This can be the culprit as well.\nSetup one computer at a time and then move on to the next one.\n\nHope this helps!

we're probably going to need some add'l information, such as are you connected to a home network (pc connected to router) or directly to your ISP (pc connected to cable/dsl modem) or dial-up.\n\nrouter:  log into the router and make sure it is set to DHCP so it "dynamically" assigns IP addresses to connected devices. on your PC go to START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > LOCAL AREA CONNECTION > TCP/IP and make sure your PC is set to "obtain IP address automatically". a reboot may be necessary.\n\ndirectly to ISP: you may need to check with them to see what your TCP/IP settings need to be. some assign static IP addresses vs. dynamic so you may need to hard-code your address they provide.\n\ndial-up: typically addressing resolves itself during your connection sequence. check w/ISP if it's not working.\n\ntry the TCP/IP thing on the PC, then the router if you are using one. if no luck, post some follow-up info on your post.\n\ngood luck!

Yes, login to the router.  There should be section that shows the IP addresses of connected computers.  Although, if I remember correctly this only works when using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) which auto-assigns computers connecting to the network an IP address.

Try to get in to your router page again. Just launch Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1. The username is <blank> and the password is "admin". If you're using a DSL connection, look for internet connection type and change it to PPPOE.  Type in the username and password provided by your ISP. If you don't know what it is contact your ISP.\n\nIf you're using a cable connection, under <Setup> click on the subcategory <MAC Address Clone>. Click on <Enable> and then click on clone your PC's MAC. Then click on <Save Settings>. \n\nIf these steps does not work, turn off your modem,unplug the router from the power and turn off the computer as well (the one directly connected to the router. After powering off everything, wait for 20 seconds and then turn on the modem first. Wait for the lights to go stable and then power up the router, wait for 15 seconds then turn on the computer. \n\nIf this still won't work try to call up linksys.

Yes, you need another router. It will the fastest and most efficient way to do this. There is software you could install that allows it to be done through one of the computers, but it is a nightmare and you would always have to have both machines on. With the prices of Internet Broadband routers these days, why even bother.\n\nI won't fill up this page with the "How-to", so please take a look here:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291160&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

What kind of router?   Your  router should have it's own DHCP server built into it's firmware which will assign a private IP number to each of it's ports.  Use the routers web interface [probably at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1] to make sure DHCP is turned on. \n\nAfter that, at the computer not getting connected, ping 127.0.0.1 to make sure the NIC is working.  Still dead?  Swap cables around to test them...

Some older laptop have a switch on its side, turn it on to use wireless.\nIf your wireless hardware on you laptop is not faulty, you should see more than 1 host showing unless you dont have a lot neighbour around\nOr check the following info and you have to know how to check them on your laptop too\nmake sure your laptop have the same setting with the router\n1. the channel\n2. the wep key \n3. the ssid \n4. the router is not filtering out other machine by MAC address, otherwise you have to get your wireless MAC address to add in the router setting\n5. use release button and renew button on router config. page to assign address.\nIf still no, use a cable instead of wireless link to access the router config page, check the above again, do necessary change.\nIf your laptop detects signal, go to start run type "cmd" ok, then in the black window type "ipconfig /release" enter, then "ipconfig /renew" enter you should get connected.

The Linksys WRT54GS is a wireless (802.11G) router so your friend is probably connected wirelessly using a wireless (802.11G or 802.11B) card.\n\nFix your problem:\n1) Turn off both computers, the router, and the modem.\n2) Connect the modem to the Internet/WAN port on the back of the router using an Ethernet cable.\n3) Connect at least one computer to the remaining Ethernet ports on the back of the router using an Ethernet cable.\n4) Turn on modem.\n5) Turn on router.\n6) Turn on computer.\n7) If you want, configure the router by opening a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox and goto "http://192.168.1.1" and enter the username and password supplied in the manual.  If you haven't configured the router before, the username and password should both be "admin".\n8) Surf the Internet.  Enjoy!\n\nOnce you have everything connected and you know at least one computer can see the Internet, you can configure the router and any remaining computers to use the wireless capabilities of the router.

Do you have a Wireless adapter on the first computer? In that case you may have to install this in ad-hoc mode and setup the Internet sharing. If you do not have a wireless adapter in the first one, then you cannot do this.\n\nThe best way to setup wireless networking is to buy a wireless router and connect it to the DSL modem. Connect the first computer to the wireless router using the existing LAN cable. Now configure your second computer to work with the Wireless router.

If there is Static IP address then you cant configure client pc. But try to internet connection sharing in the server and then configure the client PC and enter Default getway IP which will be the server IP 192.168.0.1. try this. best of luck

Do you know how many IP addresses you have set up in your scope?  If you have enough for each device the run "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" from a command prompt.  \n\nIf that doesn't work turn your computer off for 3-4 minutes to clear the arp cache.  This will force the router to recognize the MAC Address of your computer.

Log into the Router, then look at the LOG file.  This will probably be a dead give-away.

First of all, you have to check to make sure that your other LAN cable is a straight cable. Otherwise you can swap LAN cables between this 2 PC to connect to the router.\n\nThen when you boot into Windows, go to Start > Run > Type cmd > Click OK. Do a "ipconfig" in DOS prompt and see if your 2nd PC gets an IP address from your router.  You can do likewise on your 1st PC to see what is the gateway of your router. Then verify the information on your 2nd PC. If the numbers are not right, you can type "ipconfig /renew" and let your 2nd PC get a new IP address from the router.

sometimes you have conflicting ips, go to start > run > type in cmd then when you get into the command prompt type in ipconfig /release this will release your current ip, if your router is working fine you should be able to type in the command prompt ipconfig /renew and then you should be able to get into the routers browser with 192.168.1.1\n\nin most cases if your router isnt giving you an ip thentry reseting the router itself then if nothing happens call 1 (800) 326-7114  or click here http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_icf_3=1

Make sure the SSID names are the same on both computers... like WORKGROUP is what it usually defaults too. I have had problems before and loading the IPX protocol has taken care of those. Hope this helps If you are using wireless, make the SSID the same name as your Router.

Your router needs looking at. Below is a URL for you to check out.\n\nThere is also another to a tech forum where they help with networking issues.
