Internet wont connect

Doesn't allow internet connection anymore. pinging shows everything connected. When removed from the circuit and computer hooked directly to modem, internet connection is achieved. I have reset the power and the router. I have also replaced cable wire. All led's show correctly. I can reach the admin setup menu. Any suggestions for fixing this problem would be appreciated.

Try leaving both modem and router off for 10 minutes. Turn them both back on and leave them alone for 15 minutes, does it work now? If not, make not of all of your custom settings (if any), try resetting the router back to factory defaults, restore any custom settings and try again. I had the same problem with a linksys and it worked after factory reset.

Can i hook up wrt120n to laptop without hooking up to cable modem to fix?

Try this: Unplug EVERYTHING(related to both the router and modem). BEFORE you plug in power to anything, connect all of your ethernet. So, first ethernet goes from modem to router. Make sure they are in their proper places. Next, take another ethernet cable and attach that from modem to computer. NOW, power everything up. Google the linksys router splash page login. Im sure it'll be something like: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or something along those lines. From there, you should be able to set up your wireless. Once thats all good, unplug just your computer and everything should be fine. If that doesn't work, its either time for a new router or you're having wifi card issues.

Unable to browse with Windows

While having a computer is great, there are times when you are going to have issues. First, make sure you are connected to the internet. You can do it a few different ways, hook another computer to your modem or router. If you have a wireless router, you can also connect to it via your smart phone or ipod. If these work, then you connection is good and it's your computer.
One of the first steps in seeing where windows is broken. Fist we need to ping a website. This allows you to see if your computer can actually see outword to the internet. Click on start, run, and type in "cmd". You will get a small black box. After the "C:>" type in "ping google.com" You want to see if you get 4 out of 4 replys. This means your computer is connect to the internet and it is able to see news.com.
If this works, next, type in the IP address your were given for google, in my case it was 74.125.47.147, in the address bar of internet explorer. This will tell you if you are having an issue with your browser or not. You can also try getting a different web browser, such as Firefox or Chrome, then run Windows updates.
If you are unable to ping, then check your LAN(local are network) by right clicking on My Network Places, and selecting properties. If your LAN shows as disconnected, right click on it and chose enable. Try pinging again. Also, check your firewalls and turn them off.
There are many other things you can try, but this should be a good overview of some starting steps on fixing an issue where you can not browse

I am unable to browse iternet, it showing massage that cannot connect for an unknown reasons please check your internet setting and change them if needed . currently i am using htc touch diamond (cdma)

Hi,

There could be many reasons for your problem.
1. If you use proxy server, make sure the server and the service are up and running
2. If you use proxy server check the Internet options and look for the correct values in the required fields.
3. If you use wireless router check the connection to the router.
4. If you use router check the network configurations. Many of the routers have internet connection test. So login localy to the router interface and check the connection.
5. If everything above is correct try pinging a website from cmd. Open command prompt Start->Run->cmd. Write the command "ping www.google.com" (without the quotes). If you have ping look for application that blocks the http traffic on port 80. If the result is "Request timed out" try to ping 209.85.148.104. If you cannot ping any site or computer outside your network, then you have to call your provider.

Internet connection shows its connected but cant get on the internet

try using a DOS window and type the command ping www.google.com to see if you get a response, this ping command allows you to see the connectivity , if you get a successful pinging then the next step would be to find out if you have a norton internet suite or some other firewall or protection measure between your computer and the internet. also whether you have a cable modem or FIOS router it would be savy to connect the pc directly to the router and unplug any other computer you may have connected. some worms or viruses can prevent your computer from getting to the internet so you cant fix the problem, although everyone discards a physical problem in this case I always bring my own working ethernet cable just in case. actually I always carry two or three patch cords to make sure the problem is really software related and not media related. try posting the output of the command ipconfig/all in some site like pastebin or similar. thank you .

My linksys wrt54GC stops working when connect internet cable

There might be a reason that the default gateway of your router and the internet are same.So first connect your router to any one of the computer and open the router page by typing 192.168.1.1 (username should be left blank and password-admin).Then on the basic setup page change the Local IP address to 10.10.10.1,scroll down and click save settings.Now power off your router and connect internet cable to internet port of the router.Switch on the power of router and now try to go online. If you are unable to go online then connect your computer directly to the modem and download the new firmware from www.linksys.com/support and connect your computer then to the router,upgrade the firmware of the router and try to go online by connecting internet cable.
