Q. Windows XP. Linksys WRT54G.
When my internet cable is plugged directly into my computer from the wall, my computer obtains an IP address and connects to my browser no problem.
When I plug the cable from the wall into my router and then from the router into the computer, it also obtains a IP address, says I'm connected but my browser will not work. This also happens when I connect to it wirelessly.
So basically, when I go directly from the modem to my computer my internet works fine, but when I go through to router, it says it's connected (Internet and WLAN light are both on as well on the router) and has IP address but the browser will not work.
I've tried so many things, PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer
make sure it gets IP Address, Gateway, & DNS. go to Start > Run > type CMD to open command prompt, then type IPCONFIG /ALL, make sure the adapter has tcp info.
Also don't use wireless and ethernet at the same time, 1 or the other, if you plug your ethernet in, disable the wireless, if you use wireless don't plug in the ethernet.
Make note of those IP Addresses, then from the copmmand line ping the default gateway ip (ie.. ping 192.168.1.1) or whatever your gateway IP is. if that works you can communicate with the router. Next ping an external host such as ping yahoo.com, if it fails ping the IP...ping 66.94.234.13 if that works its a bad DNS Server

How do I set up a wireless network from my desktop computer?
John
I need to set up a wireless network from my desktop computer that currently is plugged into my linksys wireless router.
I'm currently a subscriber to comcast if that matters.

My condolences re Comcast. Fortunately, they have nothing to do with your wireless. The simplest way to sey up you wireless is to use the CD which came with it. If you want to do it the manual way, you can access it through your internet browser. Simply type the ip address of you router into the url space at the top. Do not use www. If you need to find the ip address you can find it by running ipconfig from the command prompt. (Choose start, run, CMD) If you are running Vista (again my condolences) you can find the ip address of your default gateway by scolling to the top of the command prompt box. When you access the router, you will need the password. It may tell you the default password. Go through the menus and enter the appropriate info. Again - it is easier to let the install program on the CD do this for you.
