1394 Conection problem

Singin4Him1028 · 07-05-2008, 08:37 AM

I have a Dell Inspiron wireless laptop running XP. I am connected to a wireless network using Linksys WRT54GS. I also have a desktop and another laptop connected as well. The other laptop and desktop connect to the internet just fine...but my DELL will not. I can connect wirelessly at school....and also using an ethernet.

I checked my 1394 connection and it says it is connected. I checked the sent and received.....and there is 0 for each.

I have disabled and then enabled it again.

When I click repair.....I receive the following message.....
"Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action could not be completed:
TCP/IP is not enable for this connection. Cannot proceed"

I cannot connect to the internet. I can ping my router with success....but cannot ping an internet address.

Can you please help me?

Welcome to TSF....

It seems strange that you are using the 1394 port for this since your model of router = WRT54GS does not have andy of the 1394 ports on it they are all Ethernet. What type of wireless device are you using that is 1394?
