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?

I don't know where the manual is but!! I have the router "site"
http://192.168.2.1/lan-main.stm
on my other laptop this has lots of info ie
LAN SETUP
INTERNET WAN
Wireless
Firewall
Utilities
there are sub titles under each of these headings

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
 
oops sorry
Wireless G Notebook Network Card f5d 7010 inthe laptop
ADSL Modem with Wireless g router f5d 7632-4 connected to the desk top

They are both Belkin by the way
