Internet isnt shared over wireless network?

[dogert]

I just set up my wireless router and I have a usb network adapter on one of the computers and with that computer I can access the other 2 computers but I cant get on the the internet. I know that the router see's that computer cause it is listed, I just need to figure out why the internet doesnt work. Any thoughts?

Make sure your usb adapter is set in the correct mode.

What OS?

What Protocol?

Did you disabled Firewall?

I have Windows xp pro and I dont know what protocol it is and I have the firewall off right now.

is the router connected to the internet? dsl or cable? did you have to set up the login name? can you connect to the internet on a wired connection?

The router is connected to my dsl, and yes the computers that have a wired connection to the router have the internet, just the wireless doesnt. I dont have to login to get on the internet.

Try running ipconfig /all from a command prompt. Maybe the default gateway and/or DNS servers don't match up?

my guess here is that you don't have a dhcp server running in the wireless router.
Your wireless pc needs an ip address assigned by the router before you can get the internet connection.

I have a dlink router and dhcp was not enabled by default. Its rather simple to enable and setup a list of ip addresses to use.

Hope this helps.

Definitely use ipconfig /all to see if your network adapter has an ip address assigned to it and if it does, make sure its in the same address space as your router. For instance, if your router is setup as 192.168.0.1, then you should have a list of ip addresses starting with a number higher than the .1 your router is setup as...example....192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.10 will give your systems a range of 8 ip addresses to be assigned to workstations.

yes the dhcp is enabled on the router, and when I type ipconfig /all it shows the same ip as on the router setup page, and the dhcp is enabled on my wireless adapter. Any more thoughts?

i would recommend to unplug everything from the main computer and try to access the internet thru the router. I had this same thing happened to my friend and it was the she had both the USB and ethernet connected. If you can see the router, check the wan seeting and make sure you see an external ip. then try to ping that ip. Also, remove any protocols you have added except TCP/IP. You may want to post your setting and see where you are getting. Run this command:

ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig.txt


then look in your c drive for this file.

Hope this helps you out.
