This is output form my laptop when I run the command,  I am looking for something similar from yours.

Steve

It says Windows IP Configuration

That is all it says!:smileyindifferent:

Are you absolutely sure you are following the directions?  Without that ipconfig output, it makes it difficult to help you.

Steve

For some reason you have a static IP address. Normally, when you connect through a router, you need to have DHCP enabled.  Open Network Connections, right click your wireless network and select properties from the drop down menu.   Find the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), select it and click Properties.  Make sure it is set to Obtain an IP address automatically, then OK your way out.  Now try to get a connection.

Steve

It says that I have little or no connectivity :smileysad:

Turn off your router and your compter.  Then turn the router on first, wait a few minutes, and then turn on your computer.  Does it still get the limited or no connectivity message?   If so, run the ipconfig /all command again and post the results.

Steve

Did some tech support person have you change a bunch of settings on your computer?  How about on your router? 

This won't solve the problem, but it looks like you also need to go back into TCP/IP properties and change the DNS server settings to obtain the DNS server address automatically.

Is your router set up in access point mode or router mode?

Steve

It is set up as access point. I called the tech support for the ISP and they just had me type in the IP Address. Once I did that, the connection was fine, but when I check the status of the connection it show that the computer is not sending or recieving information.

No It isn't connected to the modem, it is sharing with the computer that is. I have it on a wirless network. I have a belkin 54g wireless adaptor, that is connected by a USB cable. When I did have it connected to the router directly, I was not getting a connection either. I'm not sure what to do. I've done everything I can, but I have no clue what happened. All I can think is that when someone decided to "fix" my computer by downloading a bunch of stuff on it, something got a bug, or a file was corrupted. I deleted the files, and did a system restart, and still nothing.
