I'm not sure if I'm in the right group but I'll post my problem anyway,
maybe some of you can tell me how to fix it or which group I should be going
to.
I recently subscribed to broadband cable and internet connection on my
laptop (XP pro) is working fine when connected directly to the cable modem.
I just bought a wireless superG router (Netgear WGT624) and connected it to
the cable modem. My laptop is able to communicate to the router (both wired
and wirelessly) but I just can't get the internet connection. Since the
router is acting as a DHCP server, I have set my laptop to obtain IP address
automatically and obtain DNS server address automatically. When this didn't
work, I assigned the router's IP (192.168.0.1) to the default gateway but
this still didn't give me internet connection. I keep getting that white
screen saying "The page cannot be displayed". I checked internet explorers
LAN settings in the internet options menu and the only box checked is
"Automatically detect settings" which I think is what it should be. I'm sure
I just have some incorrect settings somewhere because I can communicate to
the router and communicate to another machine that is also connected to the
router, but I just can't get the internet connection.
Can somebody HELP me PLEASE!!!
Thanks in advance,
