Wireless Network Issues

Question

I just got a new D630 laptop and am having issues connecting to my home network.  I'm thinking I am having some kind of IP conflict issue, since this new laptop and any other computer can not access the internet at the same time.    If I power up my other laptop or desktop I can connect just fine.  But the moment the new laptop tries to connect to the network everything shuts down and nothing can access the internet.   Then I tried to power up the new laptop first, accessed my home network and it worked fine.  But then I booted up my desktop (connect via LAN line) and it won't connect to the network, but the laptop is still connected.   Any advice?   edit: additional info: no wireless encrytption, running windows XP professional, router is Linksys 2.4 GHz Wireless G Message Edited by jeff94553 on 11-27-2007 12:04 PM

Hi, Check your router settings. DHCP could work without special settings on computers.

And by the way. Update your notebook bios, drivers (wireless card driver !!!) and if possible router firmware.

How do I check my router settings?

radist · Answer

In manual of your router is the way.

Its like from your browser (IE or Opera or ...) in address you must go to some address like 198.168.0.1 (or like this)

There you can manage your router: sutup wireless connections, wired connections etc.

I have a Dell TrueMobile 2300 router that I can't connect to in order to reconfigure it, even though I have internet connect. I've never had problems in the past connecting to that particular site, but had recently installed an antivirus + firewall software, which I then uninstalled because I thought that was causing the problem, but the problem still exists. Any idea why I can't connect to http://my.router? Thank you!
