Please Help with router

[amol]

Hi. I upgraded to the D-Link DI-624 Extreme G router with DWL-G650 PCMCIA Card for my laptop

The router is hard-wired through LAN Port 1 to my Windows 98SE desktop . . . that CANNOT access the internet

Through wireless, my Win XP laptop CAN access the internet (duh, of course, im posting here )

Can anyone please help me?

Run the installation disk.

this is connected to what? dsl/cable?

what is your IP info on the 98 box? do winipcfg to get it

is the network card working? did you install drivers for the 98 network card?

That is the first one, in most cases it is the opposite. :shocked:

I would think that your Win98 is not configured corretly.

Try to release and renew the TCP/IP and read what IPCONFIG says.

Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network Settings, and Sharing.

YAY! THANK YOU JackMDS

the release and renew solved the problem

now to test the speed of this sucker

 

[FoBoT]

if it worked and then stopped working, did you reboot it?

you need to run winipcfg and see if you have a good ip address

compare the ip on the 98 box to the ip on your laptop, see if they are in the same subnet (like almost the same number)
make sure they have the same gateway and dns ip addresses and stuff
