Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

Hey spent ages trying to get my pc connected wirelessly yesterday to a netgear modem, i set up a new network so my laptops could also connect! all seemed well in the end!

But this morning after shutting down the pc last night i now cant connect to the internet on the main pc but i can still connect through the laptops!! lol

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can get the internet explorer working again on the main pc?

Cheers.

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

Got IP addresses on the PC's /Laptops that are not working? Do you have encryption enabled on the router?

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.

To save re-inventing the wheel - have a search of Cable Forum on how do this - it's been covered many many times.

try ipconfig /all from the command line.

Can you ping the router / laptops from the computer

Are you using DHCP or is your ip addresses set up manually

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

No ive never set up an ip address! i just really need to know how i get my internet explorer working on the main pc! is there somewhere i need to put in my Wep code?

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

Can i just run an ethernet cable from the router in to my pc??

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

Yes of course. It's faster, more secure, and more reliable than wireless.

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

Kool and how easy is that to set up! is it just a case of plugging it in! or do i have to change any settings?

Re: Help Needed With Wireless Network.. Please! lol.
 

In most cases no config changes are necessary to connect a PC to a router via ethernet. If you're using XP or Vista it will probably work on the fly - ie don't even have to shutdown. Otherwise, just reboot the PC after plugging in the cable.

You shouldn't even need to reboot. So long as you haven't changed any major settings, it will work as soon as you have plugged it in.
