[SOLVED] edimax router or vista

cardiff · 06-13-2007, 03:50 PM

Hi there,
I have set up wireless router using an ethernet cable. Everything seems to be ok. I can surf the net while the cable is still connected. When I unplug the ethernet cable, I still can use the browser to change the router setting but lose my internet connection.
Any Ideas guys

With the cable connected and then disconnected, let's see this.

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.
Paste the results in a message here.

Thank you for your help. It turned out that vista was preventing the wireless. I set the IP manually and when prompted by vista I chose the home option unlike last time when I ignored it.

Thanks again
