I have 2 desk top computers hooked up to one internet source and they are hooked up to a box which my old linksys router was hooked to. I now have a lynksys wireless router G. i unplugged the internet wire from the old router and plugged it in to the new wireless router. I am trying to get a separate laptop to be wireless for the internet. The system says the internet cable is not hooked up. I don't know where else to put it. I've tried unplugging everything but doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions.

    We have a Touchtone Telephony modem in which the cable comes out of that into the internet port on the new wireless. This is the same way the old regular router was hooked up.

You have connected the LAN cable from the modem into the correct Internet port on the router.
This error message you got could mean you have a faulty cable. To test the cable, connect the cable from the modem to your computer's LAN port to see if it connects to the Internet. If not, the cable is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Are you trying to set up the router.
You can do it manually without the CD.
Make sure that your computer is able to go online
through the modem.
If your computer is able to go online through the
modem
Then you need to connect the computer to the
router and the modem to the router.
open the set up page of the router and change the
settings of the router according to the ISP.

Just moved to Canada and hooked my desk top up. i have internet through cable not phone line. i have internet with a cable from linksys to desk top but i have no wireless to laptops. i think i need to...

You need to configure the Linksys with the wireless settings, ie. the SSID and encryption. then you need to configure the wireless card in laptop with these router's wireless settings so it can connect with the wireless router.
Open a browser on your computer and type in the Linksys configuration URL.
http://192.168.1.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = admin
then go to the wireless section and configure the SSID and encryption. I suggest you use WPA or WPA2 these are much stronger encryption than the older WEP encrtption.

To secure your wireless network from unauthorized access, please click on this link and follow my instructions :-

First connect that desktop to linksys with ethernet cable.
then set ip property to network adapter .
Set ip address ,subnet mask and gateway ip to ip property.
Set ip address as the ip of network like if router ip is 192.168.1.1 so set ip like 192.168.1.15
set subnet mask as same as your other computer.
Set default gatway ip as your router ip.
Then you can connect internet.
Let me know if you need more assistance.

Linksys rouder suddenly stoped alowing other computers net access

I would recommend upgrading the router firmware, if you have not done this already.

Download the firmware file from the Linksys website:
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/

Typically, the upgrade is done by pointing your web browser at the IP address of the Linksys router. Linksys should provide specific instructions at the site above.

Linksys router will not work with my hp deskto

you will need to "set up" the router.
http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support
This is the support page for linksys, if you enter your model in the drop down box, you may see a "Easy Setup' or "assistant" software to help set it up, otherwise you can contact your ISP and they will walk you through entering the right settings.
You will usually have to enter 192.168.1.0, or something close in the address bar when you hook your router up and get pagecannot be displayed, type in that number (or the correct ip of the router) and it will get you to the router setup page.

Connection

You should not need the CD for having a PC to access the internet. If you have the manual - Look at accessing the router with http://192.168.0.1

Not sure what you are trying to do... Are you trying have your sister be able to access the internet, through wireless? I'm sure I can help with some more info.

How to hook laptop to home computer for internet

Easy! You need a wireless router. My recommendation is Linksys wireless-G (or wireless-N if the laptop supports it). Linksys routers are easy to configure and very durable. It'll run you $50-60 at any computer store (Walmart even has them)

Best of luck, and make sure you rate users who offer their time & expertise to you for free :)
