Resolved: Direct Router Connection Woes

[Kadratis]

Hi everybody! Just wandered in here looking for some help, so I'm very grateful if someone can help me. I appreciate any help that anyone can give me! Now then, getting to the problem:

I have a cable connection - with my cable modem connected to my wireless router (Linksys WRT54GL) via an ethernet cable, and a computer connected directly to the wireless router using another ethernet cable. Up until a couple days ago, the whole set up had worked just fine. Unfortunately, now, the only problem I'm seeming to have is that I can't connect to the Internet using the computer that is connected directly to the router. The computer's using the wireless network I set up using the router works just fine. I'm very confused. Seeing if it was a problem with an Ethernet Interface problem, I tried connecting my computer directly to the Cable Modem, and it worked just fine.

I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Hi!
My initial reaction is that it often seems to be a problem with the DNS servers. Some routers do not provide the clients with the DNS servers, even if you tell them to do so.

Have you tried if you can access the internet at all (for example pinging google's IP, not name: 64.233.189.104)?

Best regards, Jeremia

Yup, I've tried that too. :(

Ping request could not find host [insert website/ip here]. Please check the name and try again.

I've also tried releasing and renewing the IP with no avail.

But you can ping the router?

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

Eh, I really can't do that because I can't use that computer to use the Internet, but I'll use my laptop to write what I see.

Phiew, glad all that typing is done. Hopefully this will help find the problem. Thanks!

You do know that you can paste this into Notepad and copy it across using a floppy, CD-RW, or USB FLASH drive, right?

I see something very odd, and it's the reason that you can't access the Internet.

Default Gateway . . . . . : 0.0.0.0

That's clearly wrong! This would be a setting that would come from the router. I think it's time to do a factory reset and reconfigure the router, maybe that will get it's mind right.

[Kadratis]

Oh, stupid me. I should've used my camera in Mass Storage mode to transfer the file transcript. Oh well. LOL. I'll be sure to do that next time!

Anyway, I've already tried doing a factory reset on both the cable modem and the wireless router, but still nothing. I took a glance at the settings for TCP/IP, and it's all what it should be. *shrugs*

The second default gateway obviously comes from the router/DHCP server, but the first one can actually be a local setting on your computer.

(I have seen this before, when local settings and settings from the DHCP server blends together.)

Go to the control panel - Network settings. Right click on you network connection and choose properties. I dont remember exactly how it looks, but you have to find the properties for the TCP/IP protocol. From there you can click "Advanced" to see all listed default gateways. If you find a gateway with IP 0.0.0.0, delete it.

Well, it seems I found a way to get it to work, peeps. :) I tried disabling the Ethernet Interface/Adapter because I noticed that it was connected to two networks at once, which is pretty much impossible. Now the Internet works just fine on the wired and wireless computers. I want to thank everyone for their help! Thanks sooooooooooo much!

[shogyn]

Good!

Glad you got it going.
