internet connection problem

[sylbie]

I bought a usb wireless lan card (linksys) and I not able to have an internet connection. When I go on dos I don't see any gateway and DNS. Router is a D-Link.

Might appear a silly question, but have you activated wifi on your router ?

[john_1]

can me many reasons but try to follow this guide line

1. verify your D-LINK is up and running and wireless is indeed enabled
2. verify the dhcp setting in your router including DNS
3. verify the WAN connection of your D-LINK to your ISP
4. verify if you can get the singal from your PC and connect to the network.


if all is verified should not have major problems

Let's get some real information here.

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Make and exact model of the broadband modem.
Make and exact model and hardware version of the router (if a separate unit).
Model numbers can usually be obtained from the label on the device.
If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines, i.e. XP-Home (or XP-Pro), SP1-SP2, Vista, etc.




Please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.

If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms?

If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?




On any affected computer, I'd also like to see this:

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

Type the following commands:

PING 216.109.112.135

PING yahoo.com

NBTSTAT -n

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.
