Grrr Wireless network

:mad: Ok Im having problems connecting to my DG834G wirelessly.
It tries to connect, but halts at renewing IP address. I manually assigned 192.168.0.17 in TCP/IP and it connects, then disconnects straight away. any ideas anyone....:o

wep/wpa key entered correctly?

Have you set a cap on connections to the router? Is the signal strength good (standing next to router)?

Yea Ive tried fiddling with the encryption WEP first then WPA, then I dissabled security.
Ive forwarded the gateway on my firewall and checked the WSA list has assigned a MAC address.
All seems to be in order, I know its just a user setting, but my brain is straining:D

I think I may have a similar problem Albert,
If It helps...

albertross_2

that all looks good, but is for wired...

what happens if you try wirelessly without encryption?

it is best to let the router assign the wireless ip btw, using dhcp.

Encryption dissabled....

I enabled IP routing in the registry BTW.

Ok Im gonna start from scratch again, then Im going to go and read my rather large volumes of MCSE and Cisco, Or maybe I should read the books first....:o

albertross_2

that all looks good too.. you have been allocated a 192.168 address, which means you are connected to the router.

can you ping www.google.com

ip routing in the registry?

Conor_3

You need to use ipconfig to flush the dns and routing tables..

All the ipconfig switches are here:
