I bought a new wireless router today. It still doesn’t work. I can get online only on the main computer, and only when the cable modem is connected directly to the computer.
I’m still hopeful I can figure this out, but the Linksys website isn’t much help, and their forums are an overload of information that might be of us, if only I could find and decipher it.
If anyone could steer me in the right direction… It’s a Linksys Wireless-G broadband router, WRT54G. When I run the set-up, I get either “new router not detected” or “no internet connection detected.”
1. plug into computer
2. go to start menus and run ipconfig/all
3.comes up with DNS servers
4. copy those numbers into the DNS configuration on the router (with a cable modem, you can get the DNS # from your provider pretty easily)
try that… 😉 its just not passing along the DNS numbers to the other computer
Thanks, but I’ve run the ipconfig, and there’s no place to enter those numbers in the router configuration. At least, the Linksys setup doesn’t offer anywhere to plug those numbers in.
When the router’s plugged into the computer, and the modem is plugged into the router, the internet connection is down across the board — not just on the other computer.
