Laptop connecting to Router but cant access intern...

Hi all, my girlfriend and I have recently moved into a new place and decided to opt for B.T Broadband. Our Home Hub 4 was delivered yesterday, and we set it up according to the instructions. Since setting up, my girlfriend has been able to get the internet working absolutely fine on her laptop (X.P), and I have been able to access it on my mobile phone (blackberry) and tablet (Android)
However, despite my laptop connecting to the router, it is refusing to actually allow me to access the internet. The router is displayed as an 'unidentified network' and the connection is local only.
Does anyone have any advice? I can't connect using an ethernet cable as my laptop's port is broken. I have tried performing a windows updaet but it doesn't seem to have done anything. Not a complete disaster but a little annoying, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Vista does have issues with WPA2 encryption. Could it be you weren't using that on your previous router? The BT Hubs default to that, so you could try changing the encryption type. There is a windows update for that which should have come down.
If it is showing unknown network, you could try setting a fixed address for the laptop if you only use it at home.
Press windows key and r, then type ncpa.cpl in the box that pops up. Then right click on wireless network. Select Internet Protocol v4 (TCP/IPv4) then press properties. Then on the next page select use following address for IP address and fill the fields with, as an example,
192.168.1.10
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.254
Then in the dns fields beneath you could use:
8.8.8.8
192.168.1.254.
Hit ok, then close and that'll get you back to the page that shows the wireless connection. It should have stopped showing unknown connection by now and hopefully, you should have a connection.
There are known issues with doing this on Vista, but the fix for this is readily googleable and not every user gets it.

No. iBooks are only readable on an iDevice like an iPad or iPod Touch.
You might try using a third-party program like calibre 0.8.28 that can read the format used for iBooks.

Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet

please help me, i'm using TELKOMSEL (indonesian) i have data plans, and it's 4gb, the thing is, as i said Full bars, 3g connected, but cant access internet, i tried to access google using safari, chrome, but still the same message, network not available, those things.... PLEASE HELP ME..

It sounds like a poor data connection. I get the same thing when I try to use AT&T here in my house. It shows 4G and 3 bars but I get little to no data at all. If that is what is happening to you, you can try another carrier if there is one.
Here, I can get LTE at my house and about 10-15Mbps on T-Mobile. Switching carriers can make the difference.

Connected to router but cannot get on the internet

Hi,
I have connected my sons laptop to home hub 3 and it is showing connected to router but when we try to connect toonternet we get error message,have tried connecting to lots of different web pages without any joy.
Laptop will connectto other wireless when we are not at home. Really not sure where we are going wrong.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Couple of things to check:
1) Are you using the wireless passkey that is on the Homehub label to log on with?
2) It could be that your computer has IPv6 selected. Try disconnecting it as follows:
Select Start
In the search field type.ncpa.cpl and press enter.
In the new window right click on your wireless network connection and select properties
In “This connection uses the following items” section remove the tick beside Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) then press OK
Left click on Internet Protocol IPv4, click properties . Check the options to obtain IP addres and DNS server address automatically.
Once done try and connect to internet.

Changing body text is not simple. It's a desperate last resort. You need to buy the exact font. Acrobat will not let you edit in a font you don't own. Even then, it's undertain. Consider preparing an overlay in InDesign.

Laptop is connected to router but can't access any...

Hi Everyone
A BT engineer came yesterday to set up BT Infinity broadband in my laptop and everything worked fine until this morning.
When I switched on my laptop and my router, the icon on the bottom right hand corner of my laptop screen indicates that I'm connected to my router but when I try to open up Internet Explorer to access any website, it says that the page can't be displayed. I've tried switching both my laptop and router on and off to no avail. I'm on Windows 7 and have an HP Pavilion g6 laptop. My router is connected wirelessly to my laptop. I can surf the net with my iPad with no problems at all which suggests that the problem is with my laptop but I have no idea what the problem is and how to fix it! Has anyone come across this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Also make sure that your Wireless Network card has up to date drivers. Check on the Laptop or Network card manufatures website rather than using Windows which can be out of date.

Can connect to router but can't access internet on some devices

Hello everyone,
I'm fairly good with comptuers / networking but this issue has me baffled. Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a linksys router (WRK54G) and have 2 desktops and 2 laptops connected to it wirelessly at the moment. I bought 3 smart phones (AT&T Tilts) and a new laptop recently. I don't use encryption but I do have MAC address filtering enabled.
The issue is that 1 of the smart phones can connect to the network and the internet, but the other 2 phones and the laptop can connect to the network but not the internet.
I did add their MAC addresses to the "allow" list ofcourse, which is why they're able to connect to the internet. DHCP is enabled, and these devices get an IP address. I can see them as connected when i log in to my router as well through one of my other computers (I see the MAC address and the IP assigned to those devices) so I know they're properly connected to the network. However, when i try to pull up a website (using either its ip or its domain name), the devices try to open up the page but eventually give me a "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost" on the pocket PCs, and a generic "page cannot be found" on the laptop. I don't see these requests in the outgoing log table of the router either... I'm supposed to see them as when i use one of my desktops, I can see which site was accessed by which IP.
So basically, the requests from 2 smart phones and 1 laptop aren't even getting to the router apparently. What could be wrong? These devices can access the internet on other routers elsewhere at my workplace or at wi-fi spots.. just not at home, which is a major inconvenience. Why would the router be stopping some devices from connecting to the internet and allowing others? I know it's not a setting in the devices as it can access the internet through other wi-fi spots elsewhere..
Help will be truly appreciated.

Hi, I'm just getting up to speed on wireless but here's some info. Don't have a clue for your phones tho.
If you can connect to your network and talk to each other but can't connect to the internet, then it's an "Authorization" problem. I'ts not a Router "hardware" problem because your other equipment can connect to the internet (modem). It's not a Wireless card "hardware" problem on your laptop because you can connect to your network (router).
You say the Router sees the laptop/phones IP#'s but, do you see the IP#'s ON the computer/phones that can't get online? The Router sees them but do they see the Router?
The computers can talk to each other because your using the "Switched hub"(and wireless) part of the Router. I't doesnt do any translating, it just tells computer 1 that computer 2 want's to talk to it.
Is the Shared Key enabled on one and not the others?(Router menu)
If you can connect at work but not at home then again it's an Authorization problem. You have the right password, setup, etc, for work but not at home. "Hotspots" have no encryption so any one can connect. Do you have the home Router set up as WEP and and Work as WPA? Does your other laptop connect at work also? Do you have a mixed B,G,N band system at home. The Router has to be set at the band your using or have it set for mixed. If it's set for "G" only then any items that have B"or"N" won't be able to talk to it. If i go to a wireless motel thats next to a truck stop and a wireless Cafe, i can "SEE" a good half dozen "networks". I can even connect to a few of them, but, i can't get online because i don't have the password, etc..
Well one more kinda, sorta, possibility, did you lower the "Maximum number of DHCP Users" count to 4 (Router menu) and forget to raise it to 8 or what ever you have now? If you only had 3 computers on, then the Router would only hand out one more IP# so the other phones and laptop wouldn't get any more. It's defaulted to like, 20+ or so, so probably unlikely.
The First phone seems to be the magic bullet. My only suggestion would be to double check the settings and compare everything. You have got to be close.
I hope this get's you nearer,,

Routing and Remote access - internal network not accessing internet through public network!

Hello,
Good Evening to all.
I got an issue in routing and remote access on windows 2003 server. This server is already configured as File server, domain server and Application server. Also configured as router (through routing & remote access) for connecting three different
network to each other. So This server has three NIC card installed and each NIC card represent separate network.
three different network are - 192.42.160.0/24 , 192.42.161.0/24, 192.42.162.0/24
Three NIC card installed on server as with following IP address -
NIC -1 = 192.42.160.220 , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - NO
NIC -2 = 192.42.161.220 , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - 192.161.220.112 (This ip for internet access so 4g router IP)
NIC -3 = 192.42.162.220, , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - NO
Now the issue is I can reach to internet & (also pinging to router ip 192.42.161.112) from only one network that is - 192.42.161.0/24 , BUT when I trying to access internet from another two network (192.42.160.0/24 & 192.42.162.0/24) I cant access
it and moreover can't ping to internet router ip - 192.42.161.112...
So how I can access to internet from other two network also?
I was already configured static routing for all three network but still I was not success. really I don't know what exactly static routing it should be done in routing & remote access so that all three network can reach to internet?
Sorry if I am not able to explain properly. Please let me know if you need more explain on this...
Thanks to all.

Dear Milos,
I am happy to hear from you....
1.- Actually the setup was done long before by another guy and right now I don't want to change it.
Nice to hear from you! Thank you so much. Actually this is first time I am using technet forum upon the suggestion from one of the my friend. So any your help from you will help me a great in this issue...
I ran the route print command and given follow are the results.
I have only added the default route as per the below routes. Please guide me know how to add other static routes for three network.

Connects to router, but not the internet

Since I got it about six months ago, my Macbook Pro (2.4 GHz Core Duo, 13-inch) has had issues with getting on the Internet. I don't think it is the router because it happens with other wireless networks; aslo my partner's Macbook (and my iPod touch) works fine on our network.
Anyway, when I open the computer up, it connects to the router fine but I can't access the Internet. I have to reset the router through its software (i.e. by going to its IP address in my web browser) for it to work, and then it's fine. It's irritating—I don't understand why it won't just connect to the Internet upon waking up.
The router's an all-in-one router/cable model provided by our Internet company (Rogers in Canada). But, as I said, I don't think the problem is the router as this happens with other networks and doesn't happen with my partner's Macbook.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I am renting an apartment for a month. It comes with internet access; modem and router. The owner's laptop connects fine. My iPhone connects fine. My wife's iPhone connects fine. Her MacBook cannot connect. I removed the owner's router and put my own in. Everything connects fine. Bottom line is just because a couple of systems connect doesn't mean it's not the router.

WRT54G ver 2 - Shows Im connected to wireless but cant get on internet

I just moved into a new apartment and am having trouble getting my wireless router to work. I just got my cable internet set up and can get on with the modem fine but cant get the wireless to work so my roommate can get online. I think i was able to get online when i had the modem connected to the router with a ethernet cord going from router to computer but cant even get that now. I tried some of the FAQ guides like "setting up a router with cable internet' and 'seting up wirless settings on a linksys router" and cloning my MAC and downloading new firmwear for the router but still no luck.
Everything worked fine a couple days ago at my old house. When i search for wirless networks on my mac I see my linksys and it has full connection. When i go to it it shows green lights for ethernet,network settings and ISP but internet and Server are red. I would really like to get wireless internet up so me and my roommate dont have to share the modem tonight so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bypass the router and connect the computer directly to the modem. Make sure that you can access the Internet through the modem.
Connect the modem to the Internet port and the same computer to Ethernet port 1 on the router.
Check the lights on the router. You will see Power, Port 1, Wireless and Internet lights on the router.
Turn OFF the Airport on your computer.
Press and hold the reset button on your router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and restart your computer.
Open the internet browser and in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 and log in to the router setup page.
Go to MAC address clone sub tab. Enable the MAC address clone and click on Clone my PC's MAC. Save the settings.
Unplug the power to the router and modem. First plug in the power to the modem. Wait for 1 minute and then plug in the power to the router. Wait for a minute and then try to access the Internet on your computer.
If you are still not able to access the Internet then open the setup page of the router again and check the Internet IP address on the status page.
If you are not getting Internet IP address then router and modem are not communicating with each other.

Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one. found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
but I can't go online! I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card. my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be? I already tried rebooting the router, but no results. I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
any suggestions? thank you so much in advance

It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration. When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
From a command window, try typing:
ipconfig
It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
If you don't get a valid IP and route, try running: ipconfig /renew
See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
ping 192.168.0.1
If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
Start->Control Panel
Double click Network Connections
Check for DHCP:
   Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
   Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
   Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
   Click OK in both boxes.
Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

WRT54G can connect to router but not internet

A few days ago, I stopped being able to connect to the internet through my router. I have a desktop which is connected to my cable modem. My desktop connection works fine, but I cannot connect wirelessly with my laptop. Even if I connect a wired connection to my router, it will not connect to the internet. I have tried updating firmware and that did not help. When I try to diagnose the problem through windows, it tells me that "There may be a problem with the DNS". Also, when I look at the status tab in the router site, it shows that the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are all 0.0.0.0. Any ideas?

hey guys you have your connections the wrong way...
here's what your connection should be the cable modem should always be connected to the router, that means that the desktop (which is online) should not be connected to the modem...because, the your modem might only give out one ip address that means only ONE device behind the modem can go online, now either the router or the desktop gets the internet connection.so if your desktop is the one getting the ip address from the modem, so make sure that the modem is connected to the ROUTER ONLY...
after connecting the modem to the router, connect the computer at the back of the router, so all the devices should be connected behind the router. in that way the router could get the internet connection from the modem and the router could give multiple ip addresses on all of the devices or computers that you're gonna connect to the router...
then if ever the router still doesn't give internet connection try resetting the router and try to reconfigure it as well....
