Wireless working but no Internet connection

Question

Hi every body. I have set a wireless network using an antenna D-Link DWL-G122 and a router Linksys Wireless-G model WRT546. The connection is working but I can't have internet working on this computer (a dell dimension 4550, with XP). I have tried turning of the firewalls but nothing is happening. Any help?, please   Thank you   Rodrigo

You did not say how you are connected to the Internet (DSL, cable, dial-up). Can you access the Internet from other computers? When you say the connection is working, what is working? Peter

Dear Peter, thank you for responding. I have two computers at home. One is conected directly to the internet (DSL 2WIRE modem) so it has internet conevtion always. This computer, as well, is conected to the mentioned router. The other computer is the one that I want to conect to the internet and the one that has the anntena (conected by an USB cable). When I say that the connections is working, I mean that the anntena is getting a signal from the router (I did a ping test to check it), but, despite that I am not able to have internet connection. Thank you   Rodrigo

So the wireless computer can connect to the other computers and the 2wire on the local network, but not get to the Internet. Is that correct?

Did you try hooking that computer up via Ethernet to see if it can connect to the Internet?

What happens when you try to connect to the Internet? What kind of error message do you get?

What IP address do you have on each machine? You can run ipconfig from a cmd window (Start/Run/cmd).

Peter, for the computer that I can not connect to internet, the ipconfig shows:   IP address 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.1.254

Those all look fine. I guess it is possible it is a problem with the 2wire. Did you trying restarting it (turn it off and back on)?

While you are at it, restart the computer also (after the 2wire).

Peter, hope you are doing fine. I could not get internet connection yet. Running the command IPCONFIG/ALL I got these information:   Node Type:  Broadcast IP Routing Enabled:  NO WINS Proxy enabled:  NO   Does it means something that I should change? In that case how can? Thank you   Rodrigo

I don't see anything wrong there either. Those values are the same as mine on my laptop when using the wireless connection. You might need to consider the problem is the in router (2wire). Peter
