frostedgem Posted August 13, 2006 CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 Ok, I'll start from the begining. I just switched my ISP from Verizon DSL to ClearWire. I have 2 computers, both wireless. Alright, Now let me get to the problem. I went in to Network Connections and it says that I'm connected, but when I tried to access the internet I keep getting "The page cannot be displayed", so I doubled checked to make sure that I'm connencted and I am. The signal strength is very good. I contacted the tech people for clearwire, and spent 2 and a half hours on the phone trying to firgure out what was wrong. We reset the modem and the router. I even disconnected my wireless adapter. Anyways, he had me go into run>ipconfig /all and I get this Windows IP Configuration Host Name: Susie Primary DNS Suffix: Node Type: Unknown IP Routing Enabled: no WINS Proxy Enabled: no DNS suffix search list: domain_not_set.invalid Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS suffix: domain_not_set.invalid Description: Linksys Wirless-G USB Network Adapter Physical Address: 00-0F-66-E7-44-EB Dhcp Enabled: Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes IP Address: 192.268.1.65 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 dhcp server: 192.168.1.1 dns server: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 Lease obtained: Sunday, August 13, 2006 3:50 08 AM Lease Expires: Monday, August 14, 2006 3:50 08 AM The tech guy wasn't much help, all he could tell me was that my computer wasn't recognizing the router. Now I don't think that it's the router causing the problem because I can connect to the internet with no problems on the other computer. If anyone can help me, please do! Thanks.

Guest philp Posted August 13, 2006 CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 Can you connect via ethernet cable? You may have security settings in the router that need to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 13, 2006 CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 what type of router do you have? DSL requires PPPoE to log you on to a dsl system.. my guess is that you need to turn that off and you should be fine.. I would just hold the Reset button on the router... That will reset the entire router now you just need to set up the wifi security.. BTW welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deven Posted August 13, 2006 CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 I have the same problem with my laptop. My friends can bring theirs to my house and connect, no problem, but I go to their house and avg, etc will update, but I can't surf the web. Haven't figured it out in 6 months. More I read about networking, the less I understand. Shouldn't someone x out his physical address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
