Laptop Sees Router But No Internet

I recently purchased a Linksys WRT300N router. I also bought a used
Gateway MX6448 notebook running Windows Media Center 2005 with a built-
in Broadcom 802.11g wireless adapter. I was able to successfully get
my desktop (hard wired) to work great. I can get the laptop to work
great IF I hard wire it to the router, but I cannot get it to work
wirelessly. The network connection is good with an excellent signal.

I checked the IPCONFIG. The desktop has an IP Address of
192.168.1.100. The laptop has an IP Address of 192.168.1.101. I can
ping Yahoo from the desktop, but I get an error when I try to ping
wirelessly from the laptop.

I am running Windows XP SP2 on my desktop along with Zone Alarm for my
software firewall. ZA sees the new network when I establish the
wireless connection.

Where do I go from here? THanks.

1. Hard reset the Linksys router to factory hardware defaults, and start
over.

2. Leave all wireless security turned off until you get the wireless
working, then use WPA with a strong passphrase. (Nothing else really
works.)

3. See wikis below for lots of useful info.

I bet your DHCP has not set the Gateway on your laptop to the routers IP:
192.168.1.1.
You can do that manually in the XP wifi setup.

I checked the Wireless Network Connection Status. It shows
Address Type: Assigned by DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1

What else should I check?

See if the DNS servers IPs are correctly assigned.

What would the correct settings for the DNS servers be? I have a
printout of them at home that I will check later tonight.

Those IP(s) would be listed for a good connection that you had that was
wired, when you did the IPconfig /all for a machine that could access the
Internet. You could try dropping ZA on the wireless to see if ZA is giving
you problems on the wireless side.

The correct DNS settings normally come from your ISP by DHCP or PPPoE.

Here's what I found:
- DHCP is enabled
- Autoconfig is enabled
- IP Address is 192.168.1.101
- Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
- Default Gateway is 192.168.1.1
- DHCP Server is 192.168.1.1
- DNS Servers are: 68.12.16.25 and 68.12.16.30 and 68.12.2.30

It sounds as if I should get with my ISP. I really don't like doing
that as it is almost impossible to get a liver person w/o going
through the AI disembodied voice.

Thanks. Mark

As a temporary measure have you tried disabling your firewall, just
because it's seen your new network doesn't mean it's going to allow
anything through.
