Wireless Router Help
Okay CP, this has been driving me insane.
I'm trying to hook up an Acer laptop to my wireless network. It worked at one point, but then I got my MacBook and had to try and disable my router's MAC filter and afterwards I cannot get this thing working on the wireless network.
Heres the kicker: It connect to the network just fine. The windows XP wireless network indicator shows a 'Very Good' connection. But, if you open Internet Explorer you cant surf and Outlook cant check email.
When I leave the TCP/IP settings at "Obtain Automatic IP Address" then the IP is set to 0.0.0.
So, I tried to set it up manually. I believe I have all of the correct settings except the DNS address.
What am I doing wrong, what have I done wrong?
I either cant connect because I screwed up some setting on the router, but my MacBook works and connects just fine, as does the Acer.
Or:
Some setting(DNS?) on the Acer is messed.
I called Shaw, and they told me to call Dlink, which essentially got me nowhere.
Do I have to reset my router (with the pinhole reset on the back) and start from scratch? What is the freaking deal here?
