Another way is to find out what the IP address of your computer is, then compare it to the number on whatismyip.com (I find this to be easier).  If you're using Windows XP, just double-click your Local Area Connection in Network Connections --  your computer's IP address is on the Support tab.

i am guessing this isnt your router that you are connecting to. Just because there is a wireless router does not necessarily mean there is internet service.

Most often this is due to firewall restrictions. Check with your Internet provider to see if you have a firewall built in to your Cable/DSL modem. Windows XP SP2 also enabled the firewall on the computer.

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

Did you change the NIC? Or is this a new computer?\nCan you ping the modem?\nIf you change out the NIC, they are only $10-15, you may get an easy answer.\nIt could also be the driver for the NIC.\nChanged cable modem?? Why, was the old one bad?\nAre the settings in the modem correct?

Modems in almost all new computers are software based and use your processor for much of their work.. They are also horribly unreliable from my experience.\n\nIf you have two computers, and internet, it's time to move to DSL.  If you don't believe me, check out the promotion  http://promo.yahoo.com/att/?refer=dsl0  for only $12.99, how do you beat that.

YOu don't give enough information about your system setup.\nFIrst of all, you don't need software, most likely, so dump it.\n\nIs your computer ethernet cable attached directly to the modem?  Or is there a router too?\n\nIf no router and just a modem and computer and ...\nIf the modem is lit up, showing data, then, you can try to reset the basic IP setting in the windows software.\n\nFirst step, power down the modem, and wait a minute or so. Then power it back on. Then follow the instructions below.\n\nGo to START, Run, and type in the word, COMMAND..  When at the black screen prompt, type in IPCONFIG  /RELEASE\nthere is a space between the first word and the forward slash\nThen type in IPCONFIG  /RENEW\nremember the space between the first word and the slash!\n\nAlso note that after each instruction, it might take a moment for the computer to resolve the command. \nOnce you are back at the prompt, Exit from the command line window. Now...\n\nSee if that works.  Try to connect to the internet. Does it work?  Yes?  NO?   Let me know.  Email me if you want with exact details and I will try to help.

Trouble shoot your modem...just a thought

Make sure your computer is running at its most optimal speed. You need to make sure there are no extraneous processes running that start at startup. However, you will always be limited by the speed of your modem. You can always get DSL or Broadband.

If you're trying to hookup DSL then you don't need a modem other than the one supplied by the DSL provider.  The internal modem in your PC is for dialup, NOT dsl.  If you got a bad DSL modem then you need to return it to your DSL provider.\n\nIf you really do have a bad modem it would affect your ability to dialup to the internet.  They do go bad and many times if you don't run your phone line thru a surge protector, a lightening hit on the telephone lines will fry it.  It's cheap to replace, something like $25.

What in the world are you doing using Windows ME?  That is the worst operating system Microsoft ever made, until Vista comes out anyway...\n\nSo,  you didn't give me the make or model modem, you did not say if it was internal or external, you did not say what COM port it thinks it was using.\n\nEr, you want free tech support?  Supply some details.

Check for spyware/malware\n\nCall your ISP to see if they are having problems.\n\nUnplug modem/router and turn off computer, then plug everything back in.  Also check to make sure your network card is  correctly installed.=  Windows XP = r/click "my computer"/click the "hardware" tab/click "device manager"/\nexpand "network adapters" and see if there is anything listed, and if it is listed, see if it has an "X" or exclamation mark? \n\n\nClear/clean your cache and go to your local settings folder and empty your "temp" folder.\n\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/tools\n\nhttp://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2104\n\n\nhttp://cable-dsl.home.att.net\n\nhttp://www.auditmypc.com/internet-speed-test.asp\n\n\n\n  http://www.broadbandnuts.com/software.shtml
