velda Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I moved my computer and now the connection to my daughter's computer which is ME, is not working from my computer with XP. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? We also have my son's computer connected, also XP and both mine and my son's work but my daughter's is not receiving internet connection. Thanks!

velda Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 well I was wrong, now my son isn't connected either. Can someone give me step by step to set up my 3 computers with a linksys router (wired, not wireless) Thank you so much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierce Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 If you plug out your daughters computer, and then plug it in and watch the computer icons flash (if they dont, go to Start -> Settings -> network connections -> (probably local area network), right click, properties, a little tick box show in system task bar.Click the network icon in the system task bar, im not sure where the ip is stuck on windows me, but it might be under a tab called support. Look at the ip address, it should be 192.168.1.XXX, or similar, you can check this by going to one of the windows xp computers and checking.If its saying an ip thats different you will have to set it to automatically find an ip address, by clicking the properties tab, then clicking on TCP/IP, click "Properties" again, then click "automaticaly find address".If it is already at that setting, then ill need to know what the model number of the router is.Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The model of the Linksys router is BEFSR41 V.2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pierce Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 (edited) Okay i know this seems odd, using the online manual, but its the only way i can reference it,http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c...FVisitorWrapperclick "User Guide"go to pages 22, 24 (pdf page, not page number written on manual)22 has windows me24 has windows xpmake sure both are setup as such,If they are setup exactly like the manual, then go to page 35.The only other thing, if thats not working that i can think of is that mac filtering is enabled, considering that this is a non-wireless device i dont think you need to have mac filtering enabled, but just check, this could be ar reason as to why its not working.On page 28, theres a reference to something called DHCP, this distributes ip addresses to the computers. Make sure this is enabled.The last two items can be found by opening your browser and pointing it tohttp://192.168.1.1user:adminpass:admin(default settings)Hope something here works.Pierce Edited December 28, 2005 by Pierce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
