First I want to say that I realize that this may not be the correct
NewsGroup for this question/problem, but I could not find a more fitting NG
to post this issue to.
I installed a Linksys WMP54G wireless card (802.11g) in a Dell Dimension
E310 running Windows XP SP-2 and attempted to connect to a Belkin Pre-N
router today with unfavorable results. I installed the Linksys Wireless
Network Monitor software and then I installed the card. The card installed
fine without any problems. At first I was able to connect to the Internet,
but very slow. A short time later when I attempted to connect to the
Internet I was unable to.
IPConfig shows that I have an IP address being assigned by the Belkin
Router, and it also shows the appropriate IP address for the Gateway, DNS,
and DHCP servers. If I attempt to ping any domain name or IP address
(including that of issued to the client machine) I get a request timed out
message.
I have changed from the Linksys Network Monitor Software, which disables the
Wireless Zero Configuration in Windows XP, to the Windows XP wireless
configuration, which starts the Wireless Zero Configuration, and both have
the same results. The Linksys Network Monitor Software shows that I am
connecting to the Router, but I have no connection to the Internet. Windows
XP (Wireless Zero Configuration) shows that I am connected to the Router,
but there is no diagnostic beyond the Router connection. I have checked the
security configuration of the router, and there is no filtering, including
MAC filtering or other security other than encryption security which is WEP.
Anyone have any suggestions, including which NewsGroup I should post this
issue to if this is the wrong NewsGroup?
Thanks in advance for you help.
