Wireless connection yes; Internet connection no. Help!

Post by waldron »

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for resolving this problem?

I've had the following issue crop up on a number of wireless connections (on two laptops, one PC (wireless PCI card); three different wireless network set-ups.

In each case, the software indicates that the wireless connection to the router has been made (indication of signal strength, etc.) however, when the browser is run, there is no Internet connectivity. Again, in each case, a PC that is hardwired to the router has Internet connectivity.

In some of the scenarios above, I've run different browsers and other Internet dependent software to see if any of them are getting Internet connectivity and in each case they were not.

Suggestions for resolving this "wireless yes, Internet no" issue?

Thanks!

I don't know much of networking yet. But have you manually entered the IP of each machine and set them o he same gateway?

They need to be on the same subnet, they need to have the dns servers inputed in, along with static ip addresses if you do not have a dhcp server. Can you ping anything on the network through the wireless devices?
