Hey all,

I'm trying to add a 4th brand new computer to my already working wireless network. I booted the computer, installed all drivers, everything was working appropriately.

When I connect to the wireless network it says I ahve 100% signal strength and like 90% link quality, but when I try and access the internet it says that no connection is available.

I am unable to ping the router or any other computer on the network. I ahve also tried to both manually configure the IP address and let the DHCP assign one.

The router is a Linksys BEFSWS4 and the USB adapter is a D-Link DWL-120+

Thanks.

No WEP, no MAC filtering. I am connected to the router, but no matter what I do using the windows network setup, I can't get my computer to access the internet.

Have you tried updating the drivers ? D-link has had some weird problems before.

Is the router configured to provide DHCP addresses? If so, what's the address range you are using. What addresses do the other computers use? Also, what shows up for your DNS (use ipconfig /all to see this info for DHCP under a command prompt). Give us the numbers :)

I posted in your thread in general hardware - does the new system have any firewall software installed?

If you have a wired NIC, try disabling that so that only the wireless is available. I had a similar issue and after I disabled the NIC card, the wireless started working.
