      By modem to PC do you mean with an ethernet cable?

      Are the modem and wifi router the same thing?

      so You are connected to the router, but the yellow triangle means that there is no Internet access
      1- Turn off the router and re-Turn on after 10 seconds
      2-I saw a similar problem and was the advice is

           click the Start button
           click "Control Panel"
           click "Network and Internet"
           click "Network and Sharing Center"
           click the link "Local Area Connection"
           click the button "Properties"
           untick the box in front of "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
           click the OK button
           close the Local Area Connection popup
           observe the value of Access type. This should now be Local and Internet.

                And you don't have problems on the laptop?

                I know you don't want to have to have fixed IP's but it would be worth trying to set the IP manually on one of the machines you're having problems with.


                Sorry wrong thread.

                So let me get this right, you've got a Cable Modem which is then connected to a Router, which is then connected to a Computer via ethernet.  Also, that router has wifi enabled?

                Or does the cable modem connect directly to a computer, which then connects to the wifi router?

                    any ideas?

                    Ok, is it actually a hub, or is it a swtich?  There is a difference.  If you bought it new, it's probably a switch.

                    Anyway, for sake of explianation let's assume it's a hub like you said, does this hub have any configurable settings?

                    Also, how is it wired up? As in Cable (from wall or w/e) -> Modem -> Hub -> PC's  (<- Note, this probably won't work)

                    What kind of cable comes out of the Modem (ethernet, usb?)

                    We will get to the bottom of this.

                    In the mean time, could you let me know the make and models of the modem, router and hub please?
