Can't Access Linksys Wireless Router

gbono2 · 06-24-2008, 01:46 PM

Hello Folks

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop. I connect to the internet using the wireless side of a Linksys WRT54G router. I have not had any connection problems until 2 days ago. Now, vI am unable to connect. My computer shows I'm not connected. Any ideas?

Can you connect using a wired connection to the router? Do other computers use the wireless connection? What are the exact symptoms of your failure to connect?

Let's see this as well.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in 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.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
