Internet Problem

by **Xaston** » Sat Jun 24, 2006 12:18 am

I came home just now and my internet isn't working. My roommates are working. My wireless reciever is getting the signal from the router. When I go to "wireless network connections status" it says I have sent 67,137 or whatever packets, yet I've only received 0. Restarting did not help.

What is the problem? I will be happy to provide any other required info.

Did you try restarting the router?

Are your roommates using wireless as well?

Can you ping the router or see its config page?

Charles is also on wireless. He is connected. Jenn is directly connected to the modem.

I didn't think restarted the router would do anything, since the router isn't at fault, since Charles is on the internet.

WTF is this ping the router/config page nonsense you speak of?

Update: apparently Kara couldn't get on earlier today and she called netgear and such and still couldn't get on. Jenn said she couldn't get on via the router so she's just plugged directly into the modem now. Charles is however still on the internet fine and dandy via the router.

Update: During my futile attempts at troubleshooting I believe I have made the problem on my computer worse.

Dear Ian,
Piss off ya wanker, it ain't funny.

\/\/anker is censored? Northview, Molina, Ricardoon, Excession, and Monk aren't that important are they?

Sorry if I forgot any of you \/\/ankers.

Restarting the router always seems to work for us but we have a Belkin router and it's pretty common that they overheat, which is why I have 30 metres of ethernet cable running to the router.

The router should have an html config page, so if you point your browser at the router's IP address, like http://192.168.1.1 you should see it. Alternately you can run cmd and type 'ping 192.168.1.1' and see if you get a response back from the router.

If those things work then the problem is almost certainly the router.

I went to the "netgear smart wizard" and found an IP address. I typed it into internet explorer and it gave me the "the page cannot be displayed" error, same as any web page.
