Laptop wireless [+REP]

[RSTurbo]

Hello,

I have recently just got my wireless working and its working fine for my Desktop downstairs but why i try to connect wirelessly from up stairs on vista the 2 computers stay normal and dont get a globe round them, and when i click the connection there is a X between unidentified network and internet.

I just dont get what's wrong any information will be appreciated and REP given out thanks :)

[Fehm]

Can you post some screenies please :)

Maybe your wireless isnt strong enough to work upstairs?

Screenshots would be good.

Yeah has 4-5 bars upstairs and is very difficult to get screenshots as im on the pc now and the laptop doesn't have internet access but i'll try get some photo's.

Cheers :)

has it connected to your network, can you access shared files etc, but just not the internet?

tried restarting the modem/router?

Just checking the computers that don't pick up the wireless do have wireless receivers plugged in them, right?

Start > run > cmd > ipconfig, it'll have "Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . . ___.___._._"

type the number into internet explorer or any browser, it should open your routers setting, does it do that?

Is this on the pc or laptop?

Whichever doesn't connect to the internet.

There's nothing for Default gateway only for autoconfiguration IPv4 Adress and subnet Mask

[scottish]

Whats the IPv4 address?

What router are you using?

Have you tried restarting the router?

Try typing ipconfig /all it it should have somewhere near the bottom "Default Gateway" "DHCP Server" and DNS Servers which are most liekly to be the same, if theres a number for them type it into the browser.

Im using a BuffaloG54 Wireless router, and i typed that in and there and still nothing for DEFUALT GATEWAY or the others

[Rapidshare]

How did you set up the wireless?

[RSTurbo]

Got the wireless router
read instructions bla,bla plugged the bits in
then it said to go to here: http://192.168.11.1
then i rang buffalo up to guide me through the right process etc etc
then it worked for the pc but wireless didn't work for the laptop.

Cheers, Josh

I've had problems like this in the past, simply because more than 4 computers we're connected to my network, also, my router doesn't support both Ethernet and wireless being used at the same time, no idea why but this thread is about you, so could this be the problem?
