Unable to connect to wireless network
Hi,
This is a problem concerning my wireless connection. Some time ago, I had no problems connecting to my wireless connection using WEP encryption. However, I tried to change the encryption to WAP on my gateway page and thereafter failed to connect to the internet. Using a LAN cable to connect to the internet, I reset the encryption back to WEP. However, although my other computer which is also on connected via wireless managed to reinstate its connection, the computer on which I changed the encryption to WAP could not connect to the internet, showing "limited or no connectivity". This is the results of the ipconfig /all command: Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection 2: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G132 Wir eless USB Adapter(rev.A) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-17-9A-BF-32-E5 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.203.251 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : As you can see, the IP address is not of the "192.x.x.x" suffix, although DHCP is enabled. The router gateway page also shows that DHCP is enabled for the computer. I tried removing the wireless network which i used to connect to and adding it again, but it prompted me saying that the network password had to be 5 ascii characters. I set them to an arbitrary 5 characters, clicked 'ok', then went to reconfigure the connection again. This time, the network password showed to correct amount of characters that my connection used to have. I tried setting a static IP with a "192.x.x.x" suffix, but although it showed that I could connect to the internet, I was unable to view any webpages. This was because the DHCP was "off" as revealed by the "ipconfig /all" command. Powercycling the router and the computer has no effect. The computer can connect if it uses a lan cable. DHCP works while using a lan cable. Thanks for your help |
