Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone could help me. i've got a Belkin router which has DHCP enabled on it and a computer upstairs that i need to connect. we've had it working before and for some reaso it's decided to stop. if i tell the computer upstairs to search for DHCP it doesn't come up with the same IP address as the router so i imput the details manually. problem is them it won't connect to the internet. i know a little bit about networking but wireless baffles me. could anyone help?
the upstairs computer is assaigned as: ip address 192.168.2.3 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.2.1 dns server 192.168.2.1
yes, only on the computer downstairs. i don't know if i mentioned it but the computer upstairs says that it is connected to the network, it just won't access the internet. i can't get the router homepage on the one upstairs though, wierd.
Right, so there's no connection between the PC upstairs and the router itself. What happens if you let it assign the IP address automatically. I know you say it's different, but does anything work then?
it comes up with a completely different ip address and subnet mask, then when it tries to connect it says it has "limited or no connectivity"
You're definitely connecting to the right wireless signal? Did the router get reset, or was there a power cut, or has it been moved?
not that i can remember, it's definatly the right SSID. it does connect to the network but just ot to the internet
But not the homepage? If so, I'm afraid I'm stumped, can anybody else connect to the network wirelessly?
not sure, we don't know anyone else with wireless. tahnks for the help though, just hope i can get it sorted soon. if you know anyone that could help could you get them to look at the thread. Cheers again Dan
