Wireless connecting, but not too internet

I have a MN-510 wireless adapter that I set up on my new computer. I have 2
other computers (One with W98 and the other with XP Home) running the same
adapters without issues in my house. The wireless setup went well and said
connected, but with little or no connectivity. So I took your advice and set
up the IP addresses, DNS addresses, etc. manually and it then said Connected
with full strength, but I still can't get to the internet. The details on
the Status section says I'm sending packets, but not receiving them. Any
help would be appreciated? Is it my base station? Or the cable modem?
Please help. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Are you able to ping your other two computers and are you able to ping your
base station?

Gary,

Thanks for taking the time to answer this. On my computer in the basement
with the same exact adapter MN-510. I look at the default gateway and pinged
(192.168.2.1) and it returned all 4 packets. However, on the new computer
upstairs, I did the exact same ping and it failed to return all 4 packets.

Hope that helps towards my problem....thanks!

Well the computer that can't ping anything either has a busted TCP/IP
stack or is just not connecting to the router. A quick test is try
moving the router, with only it's power supply to the same room as the
computer that is having problems, if the issue is still happening then
most likely the computer needs it's TCP/IP stack to be rebuilt.

If your question is worth asking, it's worth posting.

If it’s not worth posting you should have done a search on
http://www.google.com/ http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q= or
http://news.google.com/froogle?hl=en&tab=nf&ned=us&q= before wasting our
time.

If I sound hostile or arrogant you need to read the following before
posting a question "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" at
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html (The site I've linked
to just has this article I think people should read before posting a
technical question.)
