I have the D-link wireless card, it connects fine like it should, however my computer will not connect to the net. It show's connected on the task bar and it even is sending and received packets but IE will not pop up, it gives me the "this page cannot be displayed" it worked before but it just quit for some reason. HELP!!!
My wife uses a wifi connection to the router that I am also connected to at home. Her machine has recently come up with cannot connect to page message and also her email connection has failed. The machine says it has the home connection. My ethernet cable connection however is ok. Connecting her by ethernet does not fix the problem. I connected another machine to the router temporarily a day or so before and it worked fine. So what has happened to my wife's laptop. It had an Omniquad antivirus package which just went out of date. What can you suggest.
I have a similar problem; tried two cards D-Link and LinkSys. Both cards show a strong connection; high speed (Comcast cable) at the desktop that I am trying setup. Using XP Pro S2, etc. I can find available connections but when I open IE 7.0 it does not connect to the Internet. There is a weak attempt to connect but freezes - same when trying to connect to email. I have checked for firewalls, etc. Thinking it has to do with IE 7.0 and Outlook Express or AVG virus protection. With both cards and software, it keeps asking for the KEY number at each boot-up to connect; I have uninstalled/installed - same thing. Been around the circle a 100 times...no change.
the router has been working fine until yesterday it started blocking outgoing E-Mail it will allow incomming E-Mail and access to the web had to disconnect it from my connection to the incomming cable.
It now works fine without the wireless router in the line.the router has been working fine until yesterday it started blocking outgoing E-Mail it will allow incomming E-Mail and access to the web had to disconnect it from my connection to the incomming cable.

First I am not connected with the product that I am recomending in any way shape or form.
On a wired PC download Network Magic (the free version is all you will need). Burn a CD with it and install on the laptop. Bring up Network Magic and use it to connect to the network. If it can not find the network, run Network Magic on your wired PC and bring up the Network Map and look to see if you can see your router on the network. Log into the router and start by reseting the wireless.

if the router is wireless and the new system is wireless ready then the router should pick up the signal fine and run the internet smoothly however some routers come with a security key examples WEP, WPA, WPA 2 these are the most common forms of security if this is the case you will have to enter the key on the router or in the User Manual before you have internet access... if the router is not wireless then you simply buy a new ethernet cable which now are fairly cheap if you know where to go depending on size and plug it in to the router and the appropriate slot on the computer system and this should connect you to the internet... if you system is not wireless but your router is you can now buy wireless cards that fit into the computer which recieves the signal from the router or a wireless adapter which does the same but plugs in via USB. any other information please feel free to talk to me but these options should solve your issue
To connect to the router using a wireless connection, the computer's wireless card needs to be configured with the router's wireless settings, ie. SSID and encryption key. The encryption key is configured in the router's wireless settings. I suggest you use WPA or WPA2 encryption because it is the latest and provides stronger protection.
If you can connect to the Internet using the LAN cable then your Internet connection is OK. If you are trying to connect to the Internet using the wireless connection, then your problem is the wireless settings in either the Linksys or the wireless card in your computer. First check the wireless settings in the Linksys, ie. the SSID and encryption key. Second check the wireless settings in the computer's wireless card, this must match the route's wireless settings. If it matched then do a Repair connection. this will get the Linksys to issue a new IP address to the wireless card.computer. If the Linksys wireless settings were changed then configure the wireless card in the computer with these new settings.

It sounds like a driver issue. I assume you mean the card worked previously on an old motherboard. Remove the wireless NIC driver and then re-install it. I assume their are no yellow exclamation marks agianst your NIC in windows system properties? To see sys properties right-click "My Computer" select Properties/Hardware/Device Manager. Look for the network adaptors section. You can update drivers from here on your wirless card or even try the Troubleshooter tab. if you don't have the driver CD let windows go onto the internet and search for a driver. If you rely on the wireless card to connect to your internet connection, perhaps you can connect your computer to the internet modem or router via your computers LAN/network connection? If that's not possible, download the driver from the NIC cards manufacturer website and pop it onto a USB thumb drive which can then be installed onto your new computer. Last thought, make sure you are only using one controlling application for your NIC ie you use either the Windows Zero Config Utility OR the NIC cards manufacturer utily eg D-Link, Netcomm, etc etc That is not both at once as windows has a major hissy fit.
I assume the Netgear is a wireless router and you want to connect to the router using a wireless connection.
Make sure the DELL computer wireless card is installed with the latest wireless card driver.
The Netgear router needs to be configured with the wireless settings ie SSID and encryption etc.
Next the wireless card needs to be configured with the wireless router's settings, ie SSID and encryption etc. For instructions on securing and configuring the wireless router and wireless card please click in this link :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3559128-wireless_router_security
FIRST POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Determine which version of IE you have installed. To do so, click "Help" on the IE toolbar and then click "About Internet Explorer." The version will appear in a dialog box. Go to the Microsoft website and upgrade to IE version 7 if you are using an earlier version. By upgrading, you may be able to resolve your IE problems. Repair damaged files automatically using IE 7's "Reset" feature. Go to the "Tools" menu and click "Internet Options." Click on the "Advanced" tab. Click the "Reset" button. Close all other programs if asked, and then click "Reset" to confirm that you want to reset IE and repair the files. Use XP's System File Checker to resolve IE problems. Click "Start" and then "Run." In the "Open" box, type "sfc /scannow" and click "Go." The System File Checker will scan your computer, finding and repairing damaged or missing files. Restart your computer after the process is finished. Update Windows XP to make sure you have the most recent service pack installed. Go to the Microsoft Windows, check for any available updates and install them. SECOND POSSIBLE SOLUTION: Make sure your computer is not too far away from your wireless router and you have a good signal. By placing your mouse pointer over the wireless connection icon, located in the bottom right corner of your taskbar, you can check to see if your signal strength is good. Anything less than a good signal can cause intermittent connections. SOLUTION: You will need to relocate your wireless router closer to your computer. If you have a 2.4 GHz wireless home phone, take notice if you lose the internet connection when placing or receiving a call. These wireless phones interfere with wireless routers because they both operate on 2.4GHz frequencies. If this happens you need to power down the router and then turn it back on. This will happen occasionally but not all of the time. SOLUTION: (1) upgrade your wireless phone to 5.8GHz, (2) use a corded phone or (3) use a wired internet connection to your router. If steps 1 and 2 did not solve your internet connection, borrow a friend?s laptop with a wireless card and see if their laptop can connect to the internet. Be sure to set your friends wireless connection settings to the same settings that your wireless card is set to. If your friend?s laptop connects to the internet then you may have a bad wireless card. Try reconfiguring your wireless card settings before going out to purchase an external wireless card. If your friend?s laptop can?t connect to the internet, try resetting the router to the factory defaults. Change the settings on the wireless card to the same settings as the factory default on the wireless router. If this works you are back in business. If it does not work for either computer, the wireless portion of your router is bad. SOLUTION: Purchase a new router or use a wired connection to one of your router ports.
Hi,
According to the user guide for your motorola broadband modem it doesnot support wirless capability , ie it can only hook your computers to the interenet using the wire. refer the following link
You may wish to check with OMNIQUAD to determine if the out of data antivirus package caused a firewall in their product to block internet access. See Link
