lottiefox Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 How many lights are lit on the router? What make is it? I had a similar problem and had to reconfigure the router or something as it had lost the IP address. Does the PC find the router etc but just can't connect?

Sponge Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Have you got MAC filtering enabled? Have you got the security configured, e.g. the right password? Try turning all that stuff off and see what happens. Then turn them back on, one by one. You should then be able to identify the problem, if it resurfaces.

Bounce Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yes i do have the right password, whats MAC filtering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Mac filering is the Access control on your router, it stops any PC without the right MAC code (Each network card has a unique code) from being able to access the wireless even if you don't have any encription set. I'd connect wirelessly and turn off any access control and any passwords for wep and start from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
