Can connect to Internet, but not router.

I know, this is the opposite problem from what most people have. I am trying to connect through a WRT54G v.6 to the ethernet port in the wall (I don't know what the building is hooked up to, we just have ethernet ports next to our cable jacks).
If I run an ethernet cable from the wall to the 10/100 port of laptop, I connect to the Internet just fine.
If I run the ethernet cable to the WRT54G, and then connect to it using my wireless card and the default, unsecured "linksys" SSID, I connect to the Internet just fine, but I can't access the Linksys router at 192.168.1.1 (though I can successfully ping it), and if I try, though I do get the password window and put admin as the password, the Internet stops working completely.
If I run an ethernet cable from the wall to the WRT54G and from the WRT54G to my computer, as you're supposed to and as I did when trying to set it up this morning, neither the included software nor Netset will give me access to the router. Trying 192.168.1.1 in the browser brings up the password window, but no amount of resetting the router to its factory defaults will give access.
So there's my long story. I am, in fact, writing this via an unsecured, wireless connection to the default SSID. But if I dare try to access 192.168.1.1, I'll have to unplug the router and start again. What the heck is going on?

download the tftp utility from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network and upgrade the firmware

  • WRT54GS ... Can connect to Internet but not to my network

    I have three desktop computers wired to the router and a laptop that I connect using wireless. One of my computers went to the shop. Now, I can't get it to connect to the network, but I can access the Internet with a browser and with an FTP Client. The other computers still talk to each other fine. I reconfigured the problem desktop but no joy. Note that I cannot access the router at 192.168.1.1 from any computer. I unplugged the router for 30 seconds and replugged it... with no change. What's my next step? Thanks in advance for any help. New info. I can access the router by using Internet Explorer. And There is no light on the front panel indicating that the problem computer is connected ... even though I'm accessing the modem/Internet with it.
    Message Edited by KGP on 09-11-2008 11:31 PM

    Lower down the Ethernet Adapter card speed from Auto to 10 Half Duplex ...
    Also change the cable or the port in the routers back side ....
    See if light is present on one ....

  • MacBook can connect to Internet, but not iMac

  • PC can connect to internet but not time capsule

    We are having no trouble getting onto our internet or accessing the time capsule with our Mac. However, the PC we have can get onto the internet, but is unable to access the time capsule. We need to be able to backup information from both of our computers.
    Please help us!

    Did you install the Airport utility onto windows?  If not do so.. it should include bonjour which helps greatly. Make sure it does.
    TC and wireless names may prevent access to resources.. are your names Apple style with that wonderful apostrophe.. illegal in the windows world?? Spaces in names also not legal.
    Change all names to SMB type.. short .. no spaces.. straight alphanumeric.
    Do you have permissions issues.. ??
    Have you opened file sharing and turned on the guest account.. read and write access.
    Do you have the right workgroup..?
    Please put in WORKGROUP.. assuming that is the workgroup.
    If you still have issues.. are you using homegroup in windows.. well stop it.
    If you still have issues .. are you connecting correctly using proper URL in windows explorer, ie \\TCname or \\TCIPaddress (obviously replacing with actual name or actual IP)
    If you still have issues.. ping the TC by name and IP and turn off all firewalls.
    Do each in turn.. even step 1 might be enough.

  • Replay DVRs can connect to Internet, but not each other through new AEBS

    I have a new AEBS and have had a few problems with it. After experiencing a lot of signal dropping I rolled the firmware back to 7.2 and that seemed to fix those issues.
    Unfortunately, I'm still having one major problem. I have two RePlay DVRs wired to the AEBS. They can both connect to the Internet. (I know this because the TV guides are continuing to update.) But they cannot talk to each other. They should recognize each other and I should be able to watch files on one machine with the other. I could do this with no problem with my previous router. Does anyone else have this problem?? Anyone have any ideas on what to do??

    Can anyone give me a clue? Should I exchange the AEBS, or is there a setting I could tweak??

  • Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot.  I have wifi or lan connect to router.

    Only Chrome can connect to internet, but the rest cannot.  I have wifi or lan connect to router.
    All my connection to the internet had been stopped after I setup my new bought imac, and transferred data from my previous mac book.
    The connect test showed I have no connection to the internet.  But the interest is, I can connect to internet with Google Chrome, but in a quite slow connection speed.
    Check several times with the router and switches, DNS, wifi, lan settings etc.
    Give up after hours of trying.

    At the same time, another mac book using the same router can connect to the internet.  Even my iphone can also using wifi to connect to the internet.
    Chrome in the imac can, but Safari and the internet test cannot.

  • Hi i use the hp lap in connecting for internet but not open the bro

    hi 
      i have some problam in my laptop in connecting for internet but not open for broswer and not update for software  tell the solution

    Hi @jerry3 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Notebook and not getting to the Internet. First try just to reset the router. Unplug from the power wait a few moments and plug back in.
    Can get to safe mode with command prompt? F11 upon startup choose safe mode with Networking.
    Can you get to the Internet in safe mode?
    Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums

    can connect to appstore but not can't download songs or music albums in mp3.

    Sorry, but music tracks and other media contact are not available in Israel via an iTunes Store at this time. None of us here can say when Apple will be able to obtain the necessary licenses and feel it worthwhile to set up an iTunes Store for your country.

  • Can connect to network but not internet. Please Help!!!!!!!!!

      I have a Thinkpad T-60p and have encountered a serious problem; I am unable to connect to the internet. The Thinkpad will recognize and connect to wireless networks but when I go to actually open a webpage it does not open. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem to no avail. My other laptop connects to the internet fine, so I do not think it is an issue with my router or modem. I also went to my neighbors and I was unable to connect to the internet even though I could connect to his network; once again my second computer does not have a problem. I tried what I could in the Thinkvantage wireless software but I am not that familiar with it. When I use the test connection option it just reads, “unable to connect to internet” but I have a strong signal to my network. I then tried a wired connection directly to my cable modem and my neighbors; once again it showed that I have a connection, but still will not connect to the internet. I tried disabling my Firewall and Virus software and still could not connect. I have shutdown, unplugged and reset everything. I still receive the same results. I am not sure what has happened, I have not installed any new software or hardware recently. The computer has been working great up until this morning. I ran my virus software and a free online scan as well, nothing had been detected. I called tech support and they said it was a software issue to either pay $100 for help or post in the forum. The only other option I can think of is a complete systems restore, which I am trying to avoid. Anyone have any suggestions?  
    Please Help,
    P.

         I will try that when I get home from work, thank you for the advice. However,I did notice that when it attempts to connect it shows the IP Address in the IE window bottom left corner. In the past it would always read connecting to "website name" but since the problem started it shows the IP address instead of the actual name.

  • I can connect to WiFi but not the internet

    I am trying to connect a new IPad 2.  I have a Belkin router that is B+G+N.  I use WPA2 encryption and MAC filtering.  The IPAD's MAC address was entered into the router and when I provide the encryption key as the password I am able to connect to WiFi but not anything Internet related except for email.  When I type any URL in Safari it takes me to my router's management page.  In fact I can log into my router and manage it from my IPad but I can't connect to anything else.  I have 8 other computers/devices that connect to the router fine including two Apple Ipod touch's.  This has me baffled.

    You can reset the AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ.
    Then you can use AirPort Utility on your computer to configure the AX.

  • I can connect to MAC but not my PC

    I have a new Nano, that connects to Mac but not my PC. When I try to connect to PC it says "iTunes as detected a Macintosh formatted iPod. You must restore this iPod before you can use it on Windows."
    How can I get my Nano to work on both?
    Thanks!

    Windows cannot read a Mac formatted disk.
    You need to Restore on iTunes for Windows and it will then work on Mac & Windows.

  • Can connect to wifi but not to Internet

    I had the problem that iPad2 suddenly could connect to wifi, and to 3G for that matter, but got an error trying to acces the Internet (from Safari or mail).
    Tried for hours all the advice foud here and other places, like resetting this and that.
    I had a feeling that it was something blocking on the iPad, not a router problem - all other devices could connect to Internet.
    The solution: I had disconnected Dropbox! - Connecting to Dropbox again solved all problems. Now it's even possible to disconnect to Dropbox without getting problems with Internet access.
    The lesson learned from this: apps can hang up Internet-connection, though they are not even using it!
