Wireless PC Networking Problem

[viperman5000]

OK, I have a wireless card for my PC and it has worked before. I came home from school, and now it doesn't work. I've tried reseting the router, but to no avail. I can connect to other people's routers, but still not mine. It sends out packets, but does not receive them at all. I'm all out of ideas.

Maybe while you were gone at school the router settings were changed?

ha, that's the only thing I can think of

But that's what's weird. I reset the router but the wireless still doesn't work.

are you running static or DHCP?

 

[viperman5000]

How do I find it which one it is?

If you don't know which one it is, chances are it is DHCP, but if you want to double check...

Start=>Control Panel (Classic View)=>Network Connections.

Right click on your Wireless Network Connection and select properties. Click on TCP/IP and select properties. It will tell you there.

It is definatly the problem of your router which is not able to assign ip address to your computer. Probably your dhcp is disable some how.

check your IP address it shouldn't be starting with 169.x.x.x if it is so you need to check your router. also check property of your wireless card as mentioned.

It is seems the problem of your router being not be able to assign IP address

Sorry for the delay, I was out of town.

DHCP is enabled. Now what?

Bump.

Any ideas? I have to get this fixed by Saturday because my dad's being a real a$$hole about it.

Does your wireless card see the router? Can other computers connect to the router? are you getting an ip address from the router?

Time to update your sig. Henry is Gone. Go United.
