Router/network question

[DaveBennett]

Hey,

sorting out a computer for a friend.

They got a belkin router, they are connecting a laptop to it via ethernet. I connect the cable and it says its connected but no webpages load, neither does the router admin page.

Is there some setting i need to tweak in IE or w/e to make it select the internet from the lan.

Dave

Righty ill give that a go.

Anyone else got any things different that I might need to do.

Enter the Internet Service Providers settings on the Routers settings page which can be found at 192.168.2.1

Cant even access that from the laptop.
