First check in your network connections to make sure your Local Area Connection is enabled.

Also check in your device manager to make sure there are no problems with your network adapter.

Keep me posted.

Start - Run - type "cmd", and press Enter.

Now when you type "ipconfig", what message is displayed?

Is your wireless listed in Network Connections?

ipconfig is not recogniced as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file, and it has never showed up as linksys in network connections, what i have is ( LAN, BELLSOUTH DSL and 1394 NET ADAPTER

thanks, i have been in touch with bellsouth and linksys, i always have LAN that says cable unpluged, dsl woks fine, its when i try to hook up the wireless router, this worked fine before our move a week ago, since i hooked it back up, nada. we went into dos  to ipconfig but it does not reconize it( windows xp)????????

Hmmm..... Something isn't right.

Check your system32 folder and see if ipconfig.exe is there.

It could be a PATH problem. If ipconfig.exe is in your system32 folder, What happens if you navigate (in command prompt) to the system32 folder and then type "ipconfig"?

Also, in command prompt, type "PATH" [without the quotes] and post your results here.

I FOUND IPCONFIG IN SYS 32 BUT WHEN I CLICK ON IT I SEE THE DOS WINDOW JUST FOR A SECOND,sorry, when i type path in cp i get program files/common files/ stopzilla( which i do not have any more)

it is not ipconfig.exe ( just ipconfig)

In the command prompt window:

C:\Windows\System32>

Type ipconfig when at the destination above. Does it work?

well i still cant ping but i bought a new linksys wireless-g router and all is working??// thanks for your help
