Ugh-Internet dead!

[sponge008]

OK, so I was installing a wireless network at my house. I followed all of the instructions, hooked it up, restarted my computer, except the setup (through a web browser) didn't work. It turned out that I wasn't connected to the Internet, and no matter what I did, nothing happenned, and even though the router is no longer connected, I have no Internet access...does anyone know what's wrong?

Also, I'm building a new computer, and I heard that SP2 didn't work with A64s. Is that true?

SP2 works fine with A64s. I use one everyday!

You need to make sure you can still get access without your router to make sure you are getting a signal. If you are, power down your PC, router, and cable modem. Then, turn your cable modem on and wait about a minute. Next, turn your router on and wait about a minute. Next, turn your PC on and hopefully you'll be okay. If not, you likely will need to make sure your PC is setup for DHCP.

Good luck!

But, I'm not getting ANY access, do you know what's wrong?

Start Menu
Run
cmd -> OK
ipconfig /all


What is the IP address, if you're getting one at all?

I would still try shutting down the PC and the cable modem, then cycling them on as I described.

Actually, I was assuming you're using a cable modem. Is that the case? If so, are the lights lit up as normal on the modem?

Might be useful to go ahead and place a call to your ISP to make sure nothing weird is going on too.
