Question

My Wireless PCI card 2.4GHz (Desk Top No Lap Top) is in my computer in my room and my Dad has the router in his room. Hes connected but the wireless PCI card in my room says im connected to his router but i can't get on the internet?? i tryed the following.
1.Entering the IP address that listed on my computer (when i click the connection that says im connected and click the tab at the top to the right and press details and i put the Subnet Mask and IP adress in the spots avalible when i put up the linksys screen this when i did this it showed the connection working at the bottom right on my screen the little green connection on the computer but still can get on the internet, Befor i did all that i left all that blank and it said Limited or no connectivity)
2.My Dad put his IP adress in insted of the on on my computer but he left the DNS and Defalt Gateway Blank (Possible Problem let me know?)So is showed the connection at the bottom of my screen but still not internet. So my dad made a new connection called (Linksys) and had no Security on it and we connected to it but Guess what...No Internet
3.My dad's other connection Henry1 has security and in the phrase box i enter his Pharse number and it connected everything was looking good i clicked up the internet, at the bottom left on the internet screen said Detecting Proxy sever loaded a bit got me excited the BOOM!! No connection
4.I pressed START-RUN-typed CMD at command prompt typed ipconfig/all
this showed my IP and Subnet mask put those in for that in the linsys box provided Note: in the linksys PCI confige there are several options i have no idea on what to put there like the DNS and Defalt Gateway Subnet mask or IP adress Plesea tell me what to put here.
Please excuse my Spelling and typo's im sure there are plenty but im at the library and i gotta work fast.
and Please list all possible problems Note: i have no way of seeing my dads computer so im just guessing by what's on my computer so tell me what my dad might have done wrong also.

Answer 1

Okay... first off let me know which operating system are you using and model and version no. of the adapter?? if you are using Win XP system try uninstalling the adapter from the computer...click on start >> programs >> wireless G PCI adapter >> uninstall, put the CD in for the adapter and restart the computer, one window pops up "found new hardware" try installing the drivers, no need to install WLAN software or utility and use windows WZC (wireless zero configuration) to manage wireless connection...check whether it works for you or not and let me know.
