Wireless Connected but Aps Won't Connect

[Emory Richter]

Using XP SP2
my desktop which is connected to the modem and router
does connect to the internet.
And, I can ping yahoo.com

Using XP SP2
a laptop at the far end of the house
does make a wireless connection to the internet.

Using XP SP2
my IBM T43 laptop,
very near the router
could previously reach the net.

Presently my
Wireless Network Connection info reads:

Speed: 54.0 Mbps
Signal Strength: Excellent
Status: Connected

But on my IBM laptop
the browser, FTP, news and email aps
fail to get on the internet.
And, yahoo.com is unreachable, pinging.

Repairing the Wireless Connection dosn't help.

Windows firewall is off
and ZoneAlarm has been uninstalled.
I dont know what it means but
msconfig> Services> Net Logon
is 'Stopped' in both computers.

Using the wireless connection
how can I get on the web ?

You need to know that the wireless network is done in two steps:

1) Wireless "network" is connected

2) Wireless "connected" network is assigned a IP address.


Once the above two "steps" are completed, only then you are able to
get onto the Internet. TCP/IP address is the principle requirement to
access the Internet.


Also, try pinging the IP address 209.191.93.53 (yahoo.com)

assigned a IP address

Hi smlunatick

Thanks for your response.
I got my IP address into the TCP/IP properties dialog.
I am now connected.
