New WAN – Can’t access internet

by carynavante . Updated 21 years, 10 months ago

I just set up a wireless network. I have a desktop and a laptop. The laptop has a Wireless card. I have an integrated wireless access point, 4 port switch, and a router all in one. I have cable internet access.

I’ve set up the WAN according to the instructions. I can access the router from the laptop using both Ethernet and WAN in order to configure it, but now that I’ve configured the router, and the cable modem runs through the router, I can not access the internet from either my laptop or PC Here’s what I do know:
*My ISP has dynamic IP addresses, to I’ve set it to automatically detect addresses.
*I have it set to DHCP.
*I’ve checked the TCP/IP box.
*I’m running Win 2000 on the desktop and Win XP on the laptop.

Any ideas on the problem? I’m at my wits end on this!
