Can't connect with one computer.

I have just replaced my old wireless router/modem with a new belkin model
F7d1401 for better security. works fine with two computers, but my Acer
netbook will not connect on wireless. Fine with ethernet, but on wireless it
connects to router, but will not access the web. I've never had a problem
with this machine connecting elsewhere. Belkin says it must be network
adapter aftrer they'd walked me through everything they could think of. -
but I don't believe it's the computer at all. It just hooks straight on to
hot-spots etc. Any ideas?.

Yes. Have done all that, but no luck. Have even assigned new SSID and
password just because I'd run out of ideas. Still no joy.

Apologies - XP. Tried all the above - no luck.. Found a suggestion on web
to uninstall driver and install a different specified oe which has
apparantely worked for some - but no luck there. Am in New Zealand. Model
is sold here.

It's an Acer Aspire one - netbook model AOA 150 I believe I have done all
the above (other than run ipconfig) - with WPA enabled and again disabled.
With ethernet in and out - Says connected and light on router shows solid
green - which it should if connected to internet, but won't access any web
pages, outlook express or skype. Have looked for driver updates - none.
ipconfig window flashes on then off before I can note anything. Have run cmd
with belkin help desk talking me through. I can access internet with a plug
in usb net connector as well as the ethernet. Just not with the built in
wireless, yet it seems to access every other router I have tried. Belkin
says it's an Acer problem, but so far I have had no response from Acer using
their online help service. I have deleted all previous connections and
reset router several times. In New Zealand.Think I've answered all you
question marks.

Yes I have done above and everything else my limited technical ability will
allow.
USB connector is a wireless connector which I use to connect my old
non-wireless Dell laptop to internet.
Sorry but vI am unable to provide more information.

Well, is it a secret? Or do you not know how to paste
the output form the commands into your newsreader?
Or do you not know how to read the output and type it in to
your newsreader?

Here are some further suggestions. They are not
much different from Jeff's, merely expressed
slightly differently.

Please post the output of the following commands
run on your PC.

Make a connection attempt then once that has finished
attempting - run the following commands in a command
window and post the output here.

netsh interface ipv4 sh config
sh arp
ipconfig /all
route print



If you like you can send the results to a file,
say net-info.txt, as follows

> -- creates a new file, silently overwrites any existing file
>> -- appends to existing file

netsh interface ipv4 sh config > net-info.txt
arp -a >> net-info.txt
ipconfig /all >> net-info.txt
route print >> net-info.txt

You can then open this file with notepad or whatever is your
preferred poison.

Rather that you guessing what might be useful please
just post all of the output. Miss nothing out.


I have done that but sorry, I do not know how to copy/paste results. Can't
copy it. Can select all but not copy.

First - Am currently using MS security essentials as are 2 other computers
I've tried but that connect. Also still connects to other routers I have
tried on this computer. Browser makes no difference have tried Chrome and
Firefox. N
Definitely ot working offline - just will not display web pages, or connect
skype or access email. On trying to access homepage it just says connecting
for a minute or so then 'cannot display web page' shows To recap - will
still connect to old router. and others. Have tried four other computers on
new router - no problem so failure is between this Acer and new router only.
Light on router shows color green - not flashing - which should mean
connected to router and router to internet according to manual. Also works
wirelessly with usb plug in connector.

Here's latest result from cmd/netsh interface ip show.

Also have tried driver 7.6.0.264 but it says something like not for atheros

Hope I'm getting there. If you were any closer, I'd buy you a beer about
now.

let you know what the command does.

Same as above. Just enter "ping 63.198.98.51" without the quotes.
