D Link Router - IP Address Problem

[davidhaul]

Hi!

I have setup a Wireless Internet at my Home.

I have a Laptop and a Desktop .

My D link router connected to DSL Modem,

Whenever i switch off m laptop and come back and try to connect to my router.

it shows limited connectivity. i have to reset the router everytime when i have to connect to internet thru my laptop.

the problem is while assigning the IP Address, may be some problem with DHCP

But i really dont know how to solve this problem.

any help will be greatly appreciated,

Thanz in advance,

Hey Thank you

I went into the DSL Setting, and enabled the DHCP, I think its working now.

I will test it for another 2 days.

when you go into the router setup,on the first page top left hand corner do you have a wizard button
this will run you through an auto setup

I have used the Menu

DHCP

WAN

WLAN

and have run the Wizards too.

Problem still persists.

Well,

My Setup is this way

DSL Modem -- Connects --- DSL Wireless Router (Router WAN Port )

Ethernet port not used.

Using Desktop wireless usb adapter ( for desktop ) ( Client 1)

Using Laptop , Notebook Adapter ( Client 2 )

I did the setup using the Laptop

tried http://192.168.0.1/admin

and run few wizards , checked DHCP Enabled.

Sometimes, it works and sometimes it doesnt.

IP which i get if of 168..... series

With NO WEP, ( Packets wernt recieved )

With WEP ( Packets not sent )

Strange.

Let me know.

yes it does,

but i tested that for only few hrs.

i need to test for few days to may it confirm.

proboably try waiting for two days and check if everything working without WEP

let me know ur suggestions

thanz

if it stops when you enable wep,then i would think you do not have it configured correctly

It would seem pretty obvious that you either have a configuration issue, or an incompatibility between the WEP in the units. Don't use the ASCII passcode for the WEP configuration, but rather hex keys, see if that helps.
