Help Needed Wireless Connection
 

Hope someone can help.
I am unable to connect to the internet using my laptop and wireless card.
My set up is as follows.
Ethernet cable going from SB4100 to BT Voyager router
Ethernet Cable going into NIC on PC
Laptop has wireless card
I have net access using my PC
When using the lapto i get "page cannot be displayed"
The laptop states the signal is excellent and it is connected to the Voyager.
I have checked and double checked all settings (no Joy)
Any help suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Just to check - is the router an ADSL modem/router or a 'plain' broadband router. If it is an ADSL modem/router (with a telephone-type connection), it won't work on cable - you're just using it as a 'network hub' to connect your PC to the SB4100.

Hello. Thanks for the quick reply.
The BT Voyager is ADSL and has a DSL connection on the back.
If i buy a wireless Cable router will i be able to use my laptop (wirelessly) and my PC wired at the same time?
Thanks again

Would this Router do the job
BT Voyager 1500 Wireless
Add wireless to your existing broadband connection. Ideal for Broadband customers already using a router like the BT Voyager 205 and for cable broadband customers.

The BT Voyager 1500 gives you a high-speed network which allows both wired and wireless broadband access. Add wireless and sharing capabilities to an existing broadband Internet connection (i.e you must have an ethernet router). It includes four Ethernet sockets to connect a games console or other Ethernet-enabled equipment.

I'd recommend the Linksys WRT54G - NAT router with wireless G access point & 4 port switch.

* Purchased the BT Voyager 1500 (Cable and ADSL Router)

When trying to access internet via the laptop wirelessly i get "page cannot be displayed"
The wireless signal says "excellent signal"
The laptop is connected and im managing the connection through windows.
Any Ideas?
Cheers in advance :eek: :eek:

Re: Help Needed Wireless Connection
 

For starters, right click on the wireless icon in the system tray, and select status. On the status window, click on the support tab. Does this show an IP address something like 192.168.nnn.nnn?
It should also show the default gateway address, eg 192.168.1.1.
If these look OK, can you browse to the IP address of the gateway (your router)?
Let us know how you get on with these.
