I just recieved my new Dell yesterday. I have wireless internet service that I recieve through a transponder on the back of my home. It is transfered to a linksys router model number WRT54G via cat5 cable. I have two wireless laptops and a wired desktop running off the router. After unboxing the new puter and setting up an internet connection, I have no connection to the internet on the new puter. The cable I am using is good, I tested it on the other wired machine. Was hoping someone could help me get this new Dell connected.
Is there a reason why you have a static IP address? If not, open Network Connections, right click the Local Area Connections, and select Properties. Find the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the list of items, select it, then click on the Properties button. Make sure that "Obtain and IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS Server address automically" are both selected, then OK your way out and see if it now connects.
To help troubleshoot this problem, go to Start > Run and type
cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type
ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.
