No Net connection via wireless router

I had recieved the same error last week on a client install. The router was bad so I replaced it. First thing I would do would to view the properties on the wireless card and make them the same as the network card. Next I would try to ping the router, if that works, ping another computer. If pinging doesn't work then I would call Linksys and try to get router replaced.

You may want to double check that you actually do not have net connection or that you just don't have DNS. Many times DNS does not work for some reason. If the desktops have DNS and the internet is working correctly, it sounds like you have a bad router.

My reccomendation is to replace it and let us know how that goes.

instructions are on the linksys website. i believe you will want to setup your new wireless router in bridge mode. but you need to say more precisely how you have things cabled together in your setup.

If its a W54G wireless, enable the DHCP server on the router. Enable automatic discovery on the computers which connect to it. Your laptop with its wireless NIC needs to be configured to connect to the wireless router. The utility program that came with the wireless NIC or the laptop has instructions. But what you have to do is click connect to the station. The router will provide IP and DNS info to the laptop. check with ipconfig/all for W2K/XP or winipcfg for W9X to make sure your getting the correct ip and DNS from the router.

Once you verify you're connected setup WPA [or WEP] security. Save that connection properties so that everytime a wireless connection is detected, it will use that profile.

make sure the computers are in the same workgroup, i came upon this problem also.

What is your Operating System.
