Compaq laptop won't connect to internet

are you using a dongle aerial for the d-link

No. But in this case you probably have to type in the wep key into your laptop again.

1. Login to router first and verify that the router with the rj45 cable.
2. Go to the DOS window and then type "cmd" then type at the prompt "ipconfig /all". this will show the network connections but look at the wireless connect and the ip and MAC address.
3. Disconnect from the RJ45 ( Ethernet cord) then reboot the PC or laptop.
4. check laptop for IP address from router.
5. At the dos prompt do a ping >> www.yahoo.com
example: ping www.yahoo.com

Is your cable modem also a wireless router?

From my search on it, it is not a wireless router.

This means you need to attach a hub or a wireless router to your cable modem so that more than one computer can connect to the internet simultaneously.

Go out and buy a wireless router. Connect the wireless router to your cable modem.

Connect your desktop to the wireless router with an ethernet cable.

Then you should have internet on your desktop.

Let me know if this helps. Give me a good rating and vote for me please.

Hi,

Try resetting the network adapter.

On the bottom right hand side of the desktop you will see the wireless icon, right click on that ans click on troubleshoot problems. This will reset the adapter and assign an IP address for your your PC.

When its done try to connect to the internet.

If this advice does not help please post back.




Good luck.

Disconnect your Internet connection first. If you're using wireless, turn off your wireless connection. If you're using wired, disconnect the wire first. If your computer is not connected to the Internet, no hacker can access it.

Sorry John, Windows Vista Home doesn't allow network printing. You need to connect physically the printer to the computer OR replace Windows Vista.

hi im josh, friend you need to set up network connection for printer config.becoz it is different connection from your internet.try to do so.good luck.

You can try to power cycle your entire network (refresh).
This often happens when you have a large network.

1. power down ALL Computers and disconnect the desktop from the D-Link Switch.
2. turn off all SLAVE AP's first.
3. Turn off the Master AP and disconnect one end of the Ethernet.
4. Turn off the D-Link Switch and disconnect one end of the Ethernet.
5. Now, turn off your modem.

Leave them for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your urgency.
Turn on and connect all devices in the EXACT order.

1. Turn on the modem. wait 2 minutes.
2. Turn on the D-Link Switch and wait 1 minute. Then connect the Ethernet to the MODEM.
3. Turn on the Master AP and wait 1 minute. Then connect the Ethernet to the D-Link Switch.
4. Turn ONE of the Slave AP's. Turn on your Laptop. try to connect to the Internet. If successful, Disconnect from the network on the computer and proceed to turn on the rest of the Slave AP's, Laptops, and Desktop. If its NOT successful, power on the Desktop and try to connect to the internet.

• If the desktop connects to the Internet, Check your D-Link's homepage "192.168.1.1" (default) for any wrong settings. If it does not connect, check your DSL Modem's settings.

If the above does not work, post what you did the day before this happened. Probably something small might have messed with the network.

the only thing that connects the printer to the internet fault is the fact that the printer and your belkin are both usb connected. If you are using a laptop then it could be a usb power problem and the motherboard is disconnecting the belkin adapter for some reason, the only one i can think of is a power problem. The same can apply to a desktop pc if there is a usb problem Firsly i assume you are using the belkin software to connect the usb adapter to the router, so on your taskbar on the right there is normally the little aerial type icon for the belkin adapter and a little pc screen showing the connection also, if you right click on one of theses icons you should get a line reading 'enable windows WZC', if you do get the option enable it and try using the windows connection software instead of the belkin as it may stop the disconnecting. Also ensure that when you installed the software to your printer your firewall and antivirus was dissabled as certain elements to the driver may not have been installed. Lasly, try using different usb ports if you have spare ones, with both the printer and the adapter as sometimes the chip on the board may be instructing the usb ports incorrectly as to which is required first, as windows asks for certain things eg input/output ports to be used first,in other words the IRQ (interupt request) may be causing the problem.
