hi everyone,
i just built my first rig and everything seems to be ok except I cant get the wireless pci card to work. I'm using a linksys WRT54G router and a linksys WMP54G pci card. I'm pretty sure that the router settings are correct because my roomates laptop connects to the wireless network just fine(i'm using it now). As for me, the majority of the time i get the message, "you are connected to the access point, but the INternet cannot be found." I also get, " youhave succesfully connected to the acces point and the INternet" which allows me to briefly connect to the internet. this connection, however, is very very slow and often gets dropped after sometime. I also get the message, " can not connect to the access point" at times. To answer common questoins, i do have dhcp enabled for the router and my pc, and i've upgraded the firmware for hte router and the driver for the card. ipconfig /release then ipconfig /rewn gives me:
ip address: 192.168.1.100
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
any suggestions?
