Network Troubles
« on: June 20, 2005, 12:50:40 PM »
We have been running a home wireless network at my house for a while, and we have recently changed the wireless router to a linksys wireless-b router.  After adding the router, neither of the computers that uses the wireless capabilities can access the internet.  The connection will be shown as connected, but we can not access any web pages.  Anyone has a clue as to what the problem is and how to fix it?

Other Specs:

All computers running XP/XP pro
2 Using AMD athlon (only one works)
1 Using Intel centrino

Configure the new Router as the previous Router was configured.

It may need the computer name provided by the ISP to allow it to connect to the Internet. However, this is ISP dependant.

No dice  :( .  Anything else you can think of?

A piece of info that might help, is when I click repair on the wireless computer, it says "Can not clear the ARP cache" on one machine, but still shows it as connected.  The other computer does not have an error message and just acts like it is connected.

    For the machine that has the ARP cache error, try typing this at a command prompt:

    netsh interface ip delete arpcache

    you could also try "arp -d" at the command prompt.
    If this doesn't work, reboot.
