xxkbxx Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Help!!! SOS!Okay, went ahead and reloaded Windows and reset my router config - don't ask why ...Now I can only get internet when directly plugged into my modem - not when connected to the router (wirelessly or wired) On the wireless, I can connect to the router, but there is not internet access.I'm missing something obvious, with the IP's or something, please help me get this fixed!

shanenin Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 if you reset your router using the reset button it should work. I would shutoff your computer, unplug both your router and modem. Then plugin your modem, plugin your router, then start your computer. After doing that check with ipconfig and see if your are getting an address from your router. Double check that you are using the correct ports on back of the router. modem to the "internet" port, then 1of 4 to the computer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shanenin Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 what am I look for in ipconfig? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
naraku9333 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 If you can ping your router and external addresses by IP (but not by FQDN) it's more then likely your DNS settings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xxkbxx Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Some random setting - I wish I could remember - DOH! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 that's kinda like how the integrated network was on my system. when i first built it, it took me awhile to find a random setting in the bios to switch from no to yes and my internet finally was working. Why can't companies just automatically set everything to the correct thing out of the factory? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
