add me to the list of people with wireless probs h:

i moved to a new place, and my only option is wireless. i havent had trouble connecting before, but today it just won't work. fyi, it's an unsecured network. in the past, i have also connected to my neighbor's unsecured network :rick:

what i'm using:
desktop with a USB wireless adapter
laptop with a cardbus adapter

basically, my wireless adapters can "see" the router, but can't connect to it. the networks are available, but i cant access them

any ideas?

thanks

 

I'll be right over...

 

:werd: The EXACT same thing is happening with my roommates' and mine.

Verizon came out and said that it's being read as working, yet, we can't get anything. She has a wireless modem from Verizon and a D-Link router and I have just the D-Link network card.

 

Did you choose to allow yourself to connect to it?

 

yeah...i told it to let me connect, even though it's unsecure :happysad:

 

Hmm, try 192.168.1.1, what happens.


Start; Run; Cmd; tyep: ipconfig /all hit enter, does it say crap?

 

are you getting an IP?

 

Those were my suggestions! :madfawk: :reechy:

Also, what connections do you have enabled in you Network Connections control panel?

 

ok...ill try 192.168.1.1 when i get home..

i tried "ipconfig /all" - it listed some crap, but the main thing i noticed was that my wireless adapter was labeled as "disconnected" - but under USB properties, the adapter is working fine


didnt check :doh: IP from the router?


:reechy:

i dont remember what i have enabled in the Network Connections control panel...what should i look out for?

the thing that confuses me is that i havent changed any of my settings from last night, when it worked fine

 

Maybe the wireless network you're peeking at doesn't support DHCP reolution? Whenever I have set up a residential wireless network that is off my access, I turn off DHCP resolution and manually assign IPs, beyond just using a WEP key... That way I can keep the whole broadband-leech thing from destroying my browsing... is this a legit wireless point, or something you're attempting to... I don't wanna say hijack, so I'll say; borrow?

Make sure that you aren't trying to do something crazy like connect over 1394... I would right-click, disable any connections you don't plan to use. then I would double click the wireless connection and tell us what you see there exactly
