[unmarkedcoupe]

[chat1410]

If it says just connected, that's good. What did you try to ping?

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

the one u said before.the router.But its connected but i cant open a web page.

 

[chat1410]

You tried pinging the routers IP address and it timed out? That doesn't seem right at all.

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

in netwrok connection detail on the lappy it dosent have a DHCP number

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

OK if i were to set both to auto on ip and dns they should work right.

 

[chat1410]

Maybe, try it and see.

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

i did then i restarted lappy

 

[chat1410]

If it doesn't work, make sure you posted the information in this window and not in this window. The second is alternate, the computer will fall to that one if DHCP does not work for some reason.

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

when both are on auto i get acquiring address then limited connect

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

yyes the first window is what i used.What numbers do i need to know in order to set them both to manual.

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

if i can get the lap to work ill jus use the same setting for xbox

 

[chat1410]

The numbers for the laptop are as follows:
IP Address: x.x.x.y
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway x.x.x.x
DNS Address x.x.x.x

Where the x's are your router's IP Address and y is one number different than your desktop computer or your router's final number (it doesn't matter which you choose except it cannot be over 255 and no other computer on your network can have it).

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

all the numbers on my home network arent showing now jus blank.

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

aslo the numbers that show up in router statists are diff then what show up on computer.

 

[chat1410]

What do you mean they're different and on the LAN side or the WAN side?

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

on my router if i click router status then connection status is where the numbers are diff.

The internet port numbers are diff than the lan port.Which do i use?

Lan right

 

[chat1410]

Right, use the LAN information, basically the IP address of your router is the address you enter in your browser to get to the page.

 

[unmarkedcoupe]

ok well did that and what i get is (connected but no acces to a web page.) so i checked my router and shows my lappy is attached and the physical address match.Also all i get is packets sent none recived.
