Your questions amounts to "how do I connect the wifi on my desktop to the router". And the connection could be using WPA2 and using some sort of key. That's another step involving authentication. At some point, this process was called "Wireless Zero Config" and WZC took the place of the custom dialogs provided with the actual Wifi driver for the OS. 1) You need a Wifi driver to start.

I'll add one thing, though: assuming the network adapter has a valid IP address, netmask, and gateway, he can try to ping an address on his LAN and an address on the Internet.

Perhaps that's best for an eventual solution. I'd make sure the same cable was plugged in as before, and that the physical setup is the same. Then, check the Network and Sharing Center map. If you have a red "X" something is busted. If your setup looks like mine, it's working. The path to the Internet is declared "up" after a magic Microsoft node on the Internet is accessed by the networking code. https://s15.postimg.cc/o2q8qw7m3/net...r_full_map.gif A red "X" on the Internet side could indicate a problem with the PPPOE setup. The thing you're trying to enter a username/password into. The Computer to Network 4 path in the example, means the Computer got to the router box, it requested a DHCP address and DNS server addresses, and got some of that. If it said you weren't connected to anything, you might start by tracing the cable and making sure you're electricallt connected. And that the router is receiving power. Paul Oh I think I am connected all right. Wish I weren't. That wud explain. Thanks J |

Need Multimedia Audio Controller for W7 installation
I just think that if I could just somehow supply my router's name and
password to this emachine's XP, that all would work. I just can't remember how to do that. At least from wht is presented to me in Control Panel. J |

Since the WXP machine has used DHCP and acquired an IP address, that tells you the wire is OK. I don't know what else to suggest. The ping should work locally. Unless the switch on the router is broken somehow (MAC learning switch). The IP addresses are unroutable, and the ping attempts back and forth to 192.168.1/24 should be operating without any actual routing at all. The switch part of the box should be doing all the work between these two nodes. Paul |

I pinged this W10PC IPV4 Address 192.168.1.155 (taken from ping on that machine) from the emachine WXP and it did not. Mean anything? Thanks I hope I didn't miss anything. J FIOS MI424WR http://192.168.1.1 === see if a login prompt appears https://www.verizon.com/cs/groups/pu...ermanualv4.pdf I don't see any session authentication in there at all. And the term "PSK" only appears once in the manual, for setting up Wifi, not that it matters. The FIOS box in the garage is probably supposed to terminate things for you. The MI424WR provides routing within the house. Just a wild guess. ******* FIOS-ONT (garage) | FIOS-Router / | | \ / \ W10 192.168.1.155 WXP 192.168.1.200 ping to 200 works ping to 155 doesn't work Just to confirm, is that what you're seeing ? Yes except the router is cat5-connected to the XP PC too. Since the WXP machine has used DHCP and acquired an IP address, that tells you the wire is OK. I don't know what else to suggest. The ping should work locally. Unless the switch on the router is broken somehow (MAC learning switch). The IP addresses are unroutable, and the ping attempts back and forth to 192.168.1/24 should be operating without any actual routing at all. The switch part of the box should be doing all the work between these two nodes. Paul |

At least from wht is presented to me in Control Panel. J I can only think of two name and password sets that would be in your router, and I don't think you need either: 1. The wifi "name" (SSID) and password. You've told us you are connected to the router by cable, so you don't need that. 2. The ID and password you need to connect to your ISP. The router normally remembers that, and the computers don't need to know it (except to programme it into the router when first setting up). And with regard to (2), it's possible of the two computers, that one has already proven the browser can see the Internet. And it's just the WinXP machine that isn't able to access the Internet. Now, one possibility, is the WinXP machine was given a static address. Then ipconfig would show a "nice number" and yet the physical layer could be inoperative. Normally right after a Windows install, networking is set to "full auto" and both an IP address and the DNS server addresses are fetched from upstream by using DHCP protocol. And it's that activity I'm counting on as proof the network connection works. And if you think there's something wrong with the ping protocol (a part of tie ICMP suite), you can always use PCATTCP for testing. You set up one machine running the receiver code (echos traffic). And the device under test becomes the transmitter with its copy of PCATTCP. https://superuser.com/questions/6684...-ttcp-or-iperf The site that was on, has gone now (the last time I checked). The archive.org copy is still available. http://www.pcausa.com/Utilities/pcat...ATTCP-0114.zip ( https://web.archive.org/web/20130606...ATTCP-0114.zip ) And a person can also install Wireshark and see transmitted and received traffic. Not many people are interested in using such programs, but it's available. On the transmitting side of the WinXP machine, you could for example prove that the ping command emitted a packet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireshark Paul |

If the 192.168.1.1 ping is successful but the 8.8.8.8 ping fails, then the issue lies with your router/modem. You can (and should) run the ping tests from your W10 PC, as well, and compare the results, but pinging one PC from the other PC introduces other variables, such as Windows Firewall configs. I'd just keep things simple until you get it figured out. I pinged the above 192.168.1.200 from my W10 PC and it found it. I pinged this W10PC IPV4 Address 192.168.1.155 (taken from ping on that machine) from the emachine WXP and it did not. Mean anything?

One important thing that I have forgoten in all this is the fact that I had W7 installed on this Emachine originally because I wanted to see if W7 would run on it. It did, and further the internet part worked just fine except it was horrendously slow and I thought to determine if XP would do any better. The router cat5 connection was the same. Ergo the hardware part should be okay. Thanks J |

Could just be that ICMP is disabled on the W10 firewall. 192.168.1.1 worked - 4 packets sent and received. 8.8.8.8 worked - 4 packets sent and received. 216.58.203.133 (gmail.com) - worked - 4 packets sent and received. both machines. One is WXP, one is W10. Now what? Thanks J That's weird! Sounds like you have a connection. (Did you ping gmail.com using its name, or did you specify its numerical IP address?) Maybe something about the browser setup. If you put http://216.58.203.133/ into the browser, do you get anything? I get: There is a problem with this website's security certificate It recommended not going to it. but I did anyway. It went into a network diagnostic wherein it checked connectivity wherein it said: windows cannot conect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP. Probably caused by firewall settings. Check firewall settings to the HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443) and FTP port (21). I dunno how to do that. I will try., I do see errors in the Network Diagnostic under connectivity: HTTP Successfully connected to www.microsoft.com HTTPS Error 12157 an error occurred in the secure channel support FTP(Active) Error 12029 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com A connection with the server could not be established. Could not make an HTTPS connection Could not make an FTP connection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! Ohboy! J |
