richcornucopia Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 So you are connected but the internet isn't working? Try pinging the router and repairing the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richcornucopia Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 Can you connect to the router? Like in IE if you type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 , im not sure what your routers ip is cause I don't know the model but it could be one of the two.

Voltageman Posted December 21, 2005 CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 Try releasing your ip within the router, and then renew...Or run the setup wizard again...(if it has one.. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted December 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 21, 2005 I did try releasing my ip, but i didnt try the setup wizard yet...the only thing is that i have other computers pluigged into the router and they dont work either so that leads me to believe that the router is shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My router, I can just plug in and go...I'm not sure why his netgear was such a problem...But I know if you didn't follow the steps exactly as they were stated in manual, it would not work..

Ryan314 Posted December 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ive used the router before... its not like its brand new.. its about one year old also its a dlink DCM-202 and it has worked pretty good for a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted December 23, 2005 CID Share Posted December 23, 2005 Have you tried to clear the router to its factory defaults? Usually there is a reset button on the back. Depending on model, remove power, press and hold the reset button for 10-30 seconds. Then power up router. If that does not clear it, try holding down reset button while router is powered. If it does clear to factory defaults, your name/pass for router should be admin/admin or admin/password. Good luck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
