    ok, that means its working on the net, try to load a webpage, if it loads great, it works, if not DNS arn't translating domain name (Example.com) Web Page to IP (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

    BTW: that's all DNS does

    BTW: DNS = Domain Name System
    their in the drawer, use them if you like & pretend to be an emu & bury your head in the sand

    Edit: i'll explain what that means:

    Ping = is a CLI (command Line Interface) program that tests the internet connection, so you Pinged the IP address 192.168.2.1 (you are better pinging something like
    Code:
    ping google.com
    cos you could be pinging a device on your LAN (Local Area Network)
    Packets = small bits of data, that are sent out to test a connection

    so,you sent 4 packets of 32 bytes of data and they all came back sucsesfully in less than (<) 1 millisecond
    TTL = (Time To Live) the packets had 128 seconds to get to the IP Address and back to you

    Hey Robin

    I am no expert on networking but perhaps the issue is with the wireless configuration within the router? So just to try and understand:
    • Is this a modem router or a router connected to a modem?
    • Was the router supplied by your ISP and if so have you tried to contact them?
    • Can you (and would you know how to) log in to the router configuration? In my modem/router, I type 192.168.0.1 into the browser address field and then hit enter.

    Modems/Routers supplied by ISP's will probably prompt you for login name and password. Once logged in have a look in the wireless settings for something obvious.
    Perhaps copy and paste the settings you see? I have to say I detest wireless. Not because it is less safe than cable but because it is so frigging temperamental:mad:... especially under windows....

    Hi
    It is a modem router it is connected to my desk top
    I purchased it myself
    In total my "network consists of
    1 Desk top PC
    2 Laptops 1 of which is having the problem
    1 Mac Note book
    All but the one laptop are fine and working.
    I have in the past typed 192.168.2.1 and it has brought me to the belkin site but the laptop in question can not open this page or any other
    I have the typed 192.168.2.1 on my good laptop and have the belkin router site up
    I have already changed the channel from 1 through 13
    What should I check here?

    that's not routers "site" that sounds like your routers web config, that's what we want :good: the first thing we want to check is "how may IP's does your router provide if any, do this from your desktop system

    BTW: is your IP static or dynamic, or who is your ISP and what model is the router

    so, DHCP is enabled :good: , but 3 IP's is not enough, each device on a network must have an IP to function
    probably dynamic then

    yes but what model

    decide from this list
