[whaturmom]

I don't know if this has been asked before. >_<

Hey everybody,

Well my problem is the internet, it's like pissing me off sooo badly. I have a Toshiba Satellite A355D laptop and I have Windows Vista. I also have a linksys router thing. >_< i'll check later for the model and stuff but right now I need help Right now im on my desktop computer. And my internet works fine here.

Everytime I connect to the internet It says unindentified network (linksys); It has excellent signal BUT its limited, so no internet. I tried turning off the router and modem and turning it back on but it still didn't work I tried renewing ip but it didnt work either.

I went to command prompt and typed in ipconfig/release and it said:
The requested operation requires elevation.

I also typed in "ipconfig/renew" and it said:
Windows IP configuration
An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Connection : unable to contact you DHCP server. Request has timed out.
No operation can be performed on Local Area connection while it has its media disconnected

Then I typed in "ping 127.0.0.1" it said:
Pinging 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
General failure.
General failure.
General failure.
General failure.

Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
Packets: sent = 4, received = 0, lost = 4 (100% loss)


Then comes the "ipconfig":

The indications are that you have either a mismatched encryption key or MAC filtering enabled on the router.

Try disabling all encryption on the router and see if you can connect.
