wireless help needed!


Poncho

Recommended Posts

I was recently given my girlfriends old laptop, which is great because i have never had one before, so i rushed out and brought a wireless card for it:)

 

Now, i have followed the instruction manual fully and cant seem to get the laptop to go on the internet, it will connect to the router, and i can ping it, but thats it.

 

I got a friend to bring his laptop over to make sure it was all set up right, and he had no problems, was connected in 5 mins!

 

I know its a long shot, but any ideas?

Normally if you can reach the router and nothing else, it's a bad WEP key.

Have you tried removing the key and seeing if it connects then?

Does the router have MAC address filtering set on? If so you need to add the MAC address of the wireless card in the lap top.

right, got rid of wep key, still the same. turned off zonealarm completely, still nothing.

 

and with DNS, i set it as the routers IP, i also had to set all the IP's for the laptop and gateway manually, if i made it auto detect, it didnt work at all.
