Network Address Question
We are trying to set up a basic wireless network at home between two desktops.
Just purchased and set up a Dim3000, have the router, USB wireless adapter installed, etc.
The window on the screen tells us that we are connected but it gives this message
"You might not be able to access the internet or some network sources.
This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address
to the computer".
How do we find out the network address?
Is it the same as the IP address?
Thanks,

The network address is the IP address. Have you set the TCP/IP properties to obtain an IP address automically? The router should assign the IP address if the router and TCP/IP properties are setup properly.

You need to make the wireless network settings on the computer consistent with the security settings on the router. Are you using WEP encrpytion or WEP encryption?

Yes, on both computers, it's set to obtain the IP address automatically.
On the second computer, there is already a dial-up connection.......could this be causing a problem??
Thanks.

You've never said which model router you have, and I certainly don't know the set up routines for all routers. Why don't you just reset the router to factory settings, and start over again.

Steve,
I believe ours is WPA encryption.
We probably have several keys because when we got to the point where it asked for a passphrase, we entered one and clicked on generate....it generated four keys and we clicked 'apply'.
We thought we would then get taken to another screen or see something that said 'finished', etc.
When the same screen came back again we generated keys again. This happened probably three times. How can I find where these keys are listed and delete all but one of them?
Thanks.

The router is Netgear WGT624 108Mbps Wireless Firewall Router with an 108 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter.

That router has a reset button on the back of the router. Press the reset button and hold it for about 5 seconds to reset to factory settings. The manual for your router can be found at:
