NTL Wireless Problem

valerian · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:00

hi all
i have set up a wireless connection to a friends computer
it is a belkin 54g wireless router
the ntl cable modem feeds into the router, via an ethernet cable
the router feeds into the computers network card via another ethernet cable

this connection with the main computer (wired) is fine, and works OK

the laptop (wireless) detects a wireless signal (90%) off the router, however i cant set the laptop network card up to access the internet, i have gone into the network connection properties, attempted to enter several IP combinations and have tried the detect automatically settings.
i have tried messing with the firewall etc.
has anyone got any ideas or any ideas of some IPsettings which will work, im sure its something daft

PS i am on the same laptop now on my wireless network at home (BT line) netgear equipment
so the lappy does work

cheers

Have you set any security up on the router at all for the wireless like WEP or WPA keys? If so you'll need set them up on the laptop before it'll get an IP and whatnot.

yes ive set up the security properly,
using it now on my security on my network
the issue is with the ntl-cable and the belkin router imo

no but i cant try these things till i go round again, ill access this forum from there
i might have already mentioned
the cable modem, has the router plugged into it via ethernet, the router is plugged into the computer via ethernet.-this connection works

the router is whacking out wireless signal
the wireless laptop detects the wireless signal
but despite my efforts so far when IE is launched the pages won't load

The router may have Wireless MAC exclusion set on as default , your lappy would see it but not be able to connect

what should it be
