Ive connected another computer using wireless internet. When I use Obtain IP Address Automatically, I get the Limited or No Connectivity. Using ipconfig it shows 0.0.0.0 as my IP address, as well as other settings.
So I decided to put in a static IP Address. With this I get the Connected message. I still get no internet though. It shows packets being sent, but no packets being received. When I check ipconfig, it shows the same setting I put in.
Both of these situations, I cannot connect to the router using a browser. I assume this mean I’m not really connected at all.
I’d like to use the Obtain IP Address Automatically option, but if that doesn’t work, what IP, Default Gateway, and DNS Server settings should I use for manual setup? My ISP, Rogers, hasn’t provided them, not that I know of.
Also, I don’t have a lot of experience with networking, so basic steps would be best.
Thank you all in advance.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention, this computer I’m trying to connect was working fine a month ago, but I then connected it using ethernet and set it to automatically obtain IP address. Worked fine still.
Before it was wired, the wireless had the IP address, etc. set manually, which worked fine.
