Can't get out past router.

[Fatdog]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to setup an Xterasys wireless router at my girlfriends so her kids can access the net from 2 pc's. The main system is WinXP SP1 connected to a verizon DSL modem.

With the router out of the way, it connects fine. I installed the router according to the manual and went through the setup wizard. At the end it saves the settings and tests the connection and confirms internet access. I can log into the router and check settings, but cannot get out past it. IE errors with no connection error. I went back through the setup wizard and had it clone the mac address with the same results.

The upstairs PC has WinXP sp2 and has an Xterasys wireless adapter. It can see the router and connects with 99% signal, but again will not go out past the router. Both PC's are configured the same with "obtain addresses automatically" for IP and DNS. When I built the second pc at my place (as a christmas gift), I had no problem getting the wirelss adapter up and running on my home Microsoft wireless router (MN700), so I know the adapter card works fine.

I know I'm missing a setting somewhere. I've searched through the threads here, but I haven't really found anything close to what I'm experiancing. If anyone can shed some light on where to look or what I'm missing, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Did you restart everything after making the settings, if not do so, shut off all PCs and the router - reratrt the router first then the PCs.

Log into the router and on the WAN side it its getting a WAN IP address and DNS servers addresses, next check the individual PCs and see if they are getting IPs from the router - run ipconfig/all at the command prompt.

Did you setup the security settings in your router? Like WEP?

If so, you need to apply those security settings onto your wireless adapter also.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, I've powered down and up, the router, modem and PC a number of times.

I set the wep and added the correct security settings to the second pc to access the router. It sees 5 different wireless networks in the condo assocation where she lives including the router I set up. It connects to the router fine, but not past it.

It doesn't look like the router is giving out the ip addresses like it should, even though it's set to do that. I'm begining to think the router is faulty.
