Laptop wont connect

when i connect just the dsl cable into the internet spot on the back of the router, with no other computers connected to the router my laptop should get an internet signal and be able to log onto the web, right? the only wa i can isto hard wire it straight into the laptop...i really am twisted

make sure what type of internet connection your using from your ISP. it could be DSL and Cable connection.there is a different type of configuration on the router depending on the type of internet connection.

  • Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop wont connect to router anymore

    Eveything was great untl I had to change the encryption code on the router, now I cant get the laptop to connect to the router anymore. Nothing was changed on the computer and the only thing that was changed on the router was the encryption code. The Dell laptop has a 1370 mini wireless card in it running windows XP, and I updated it last night to the latest driver. My Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop has no problem connecting to it. The wireless router is a WRT54GS. I have also started wireless zero configuration and checked the box to let windows control my wireless. And the box in properties that says "Enable IEEE 802.1authentication for this network" is not checked.
    Sometimes when I try to connect it, it will say connected when it isnt connected to anything. Other times when I try to connect it will connect to another wireless internet in the neighborhood that doesnt have any encryption. And then other times I get the message that says "windows was unable to find a certificate to log you on to the network". I got it to connect when I took the the encryption off the router but for some reason it doesnt want to connect with encryption on it. I am using WEP 64bit. I checked all the settings on both the laptops and the wireless settings are exactly the same. I dont understand why mine will connect and the other one wont.  Any ideas?

    You can try manually adding the network on your computer, Also change the SSID on the router if it is linksys(default).
    To add the network manually try the below mentioned settings.......
    Click on Start and go to the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection disable it and then Re-enable it .
    Right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties,Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
    Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...
    Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/security key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...
    It will connect...
    That should resolve the issue for you.

  • Problems galore..DS lite, and laptop wont connect

    Ok, today i tried to connect my DS lite and it told me it couldnt find the IP and then i tried to connect my laptop and my laptop gave me limited access (no internet)
    By the way, i have my Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and my dad's computer all connected wirelessly and the main computer is hard wired to the router. I used a WEP code which when i entered i knew was correct was because i wrote it down. Anyway, if you have any ideas what may be preventing these items from connecting please let me know.
    WRT54G Ver 6 is what i have.
    If need be, im going to reset my router back to square one

    Hi… I would suggest you to provide static IP on DS lite and try the connection again. You may need to forward the port for the same IP address. Try the same with the laptop. If it does not work then check the WEP key once again from the setup page of this router. I think that’s what may be blocking the connection.

    Yes, that is the downside of performance mode.  You will either have to revert to n and g mode which will affect the performance of the N devices or introduce a G mode wap, or of course connect by wire.

  • TS1363 my ipod wont connect to my laptop

    when i go to connect my ipod to my laptop it wont connect what should i do to fix it?

    Try plugging it in and waiting.  I have noticed that when an iPod's battery is very low, it takes some time for it to appear in iTunes and the Desktop.  Like it must have to have a minimum charge or something.
