Hi All - someone please help

Sorry not very computer literate but really need some help please. I have a laptop that i want to use on the internet with a belkin ADSL Modem with built in wireless router - F5D7630uk4a I have a Medion Centrino Pentium M 1.7GHz Laptop with Intel Centrino mobile technology designed specifically for mobile computing with integrated wireless LAN capability.

I get all the way through everything with it saying it is connected but everytime i open IE nothing happens, please help if you can.

Thanks In Advance

Hi,
You will need to check if you are connecting to your router with the same class of ip address. Ok that was a bit techincal. have you set the laptops ip settings in accordance with the belkin manual. I can go through this with you step by step but firstly it might be better to check your pc settigns are correct and correspond with your router

Is IE set to use LAN rather than dialup?

Open IE then choose Tools > Internet Options > Connections and select "Never dial a connection".

If you are using xp click START|CONNECT TO|Show all connections and then you can click the properties of your connection and check the tcp/ip settings.
If your router is givign out Ip's by DHCP(it shoudl say in the manual but you might have to check the router config) then your ip address should be set to obtain an ip address automaticlly.

Duno where he has got his START|CONNECT TO|Show all connections from

Click 'START' then 'SETTINGS' then 'NETOWRK CONNECTIONS'

In there you should have at least one connection, if you right click on the icon and click properties it will take you into the TCP/IP setup.

Sounds like your laptop may be wirelessly connected to the router OK. However have you accessed the router via IE to configure your ISP ADSL settings?

:cool:
