wireless connection??
Have a laptop running Win 98se.
Have on board wired lan card that connects to router and gets on the net just fine. Have a wireless, Linksys wireless-b wpc11, adapter that connects to router but I can't get on net. The entire system has 7 winxp systems and this laptop(98se). Have a cable modem that connects to a wireless/wired router(d-link 524) and then to a switch(d-link dss 8+). When I open the Liinksys console it's states; "you are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found". Single strength is pegged and so is link quality. I'm 20 ft from router.. Not sure what settings may be off.. Suggestions please, |

wireless connection??
Got connected but have a problem.
When the wireless connects it causes an IP conflict with one of the winxp system. The ip is the same for both systems. When I manually change the ip address on the 98se system, CP-Network-TCP/IPWirelessB-Properties-IPAddress tab, change from 192.168.0.106 (both machines) to 192.168.0.107 then I cannot connect to net. I ran wipxp wizard, (netsetup)copied to floppy and ran in 98 system. The exact error msg on the 98 system is: "The system has detected a conflict for IP address 192.168.0.106 with the system having hardware address 00:0D:88:5b:EE." When I click 'OK' enough then the 98 takes over and the winxp goes down until I 'repair' xp. The wireless card control panel(linksys) is showing the ip 192.168.0.106 and not sure how to change that one. L. "MEB" meb@not wrote in message ... Firewall, shared settings, and a few others.

wireless connection??
The question lay with what IS assigning these addresses. Obviously you can not have two devices/computers with the same address. You say you used the network setup disk, but was that actually ICS? If so, there are some registry entries which need removed. Wi-Fi networks can be configured in two different ways: "Ad hoc" mode allows wireless devices to communicate in peer-to-peer mode with each other. "Infrastructure" mode allows wireless devices to communicate with a central node that in turn can communicate with wired nodes on that LAN. Easiest,, check your working XP machine's addresses and manually assign the wireless adapter within that range OR make sure that it receives its address from the cabled network. Make sure all the firewalls allow the traffic. IF Norton or McAfee/CA suite is in the mix, make absolutely sure the entire network is *rediscovered*. EXAMPLE Norton Internet Security Suite: Right-click NIS, selected Open NIS, Under "Personal Firewall" "Networking" tab, there's a "Wizard" button. If you click that, let it do its thing, it detects your network card and allows incoming connections from the IPs specified. Make sure it finds ALL connected networks or manually set those it misses. Make sure that, the router [where the Internet connects] is DHCP/DNS, and all machines and devices receive their addresses FROM that router. IF *static*{manually assigned}, then IP address is manually set within your network IP range and subnet mask [DNS] (Must be set within the router's indicated network range, example 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.224). Try at 10 spacing, e.g., 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.20, etc.. Gateway is your master router {Internet connection device address}. All computers are in the SAME workgroup. DHCP is disabled in all other routers [See *Add wireless]. It is not a good idea to mix static and dynamically assigned networks/devices unless you have a server to handle this aspect. IF set/received from the master router [dynamic], then each connected device TCP/IP is set as: DNS Configuration - Disabled; IP address - Obtain IP automatically; Gateway - the master address/router. All computers are in the SAME workgroup. DHCP is disabled in all other routers [See *Add wireless]. *Add wireless into the mix using dynamic addressing: A wireless router generally has two or more Ethernet/cable jacks. Put the wireless router/AP {access point} as the first connection from the ISP modem/router. It assigns any wireless connections AND the hard connected device(s) [its controller computer and attached devices].. Your second network {the hard-wired} router [connected to the wireless router/transceiver] gets *its address* from the wireless router [check the interface to be sure it does/has], and then assigns all the *hard wired* network sub addressing. NOTE: make sure that you set the master *router interfaces* {wireless and hard} to non-conflicting addresses [they can't both be 192.168.1.1 for example}. You will likely need to do this PRIOR to connecting the rest of the network. You can also switch this around [hard first then wireless] You may get lost in the above, so perhaps this will better explain the setup. Start he http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...arate_nets.htm http://www.directron.com/pariichoosne.html#top And potentially: Make sure that the GATEWAY for all devices [except the master device] IS the Internet connection device [modem/router] address. TCP/IP is set via the Network CP entry point for all EXCEPT the routers. Those are set by the software that came with them. If you looked at the page, you should have noted that only ONE router can assign/be DHCP/DNS [See *Add wireless], the other(s) is(are) basically a network switching device and is disabled. That's not always true, but then you must understand and deal with multiple nets and workgroups, and passing such traffic over the network and bridging them. I would re-look at that page/link [mine] for the setup procedure for static addressing and nix the XP network setup disk... See also: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ih/doc/pc_c...in/admin7.html The above are *general hints* if you want to press ahead on your own.

If you change ip addresses like this you also need to enable dns in the tcp/ip properties and enter an address for a nameserver. This can be either your router's ip address or the ip address of your isp's nameserver. Incidentally, using 107 is likely to cause a similar conflict later to what you are experiencing now. Try 249 instead. Jim. |

wireless connection??
Appears to be working.
I ran winipcfg on the 98se system and it "finally" renewed wireless with an ip of 192.168.0.101 Will need to check 5 other system for conflict when other folks get in office. Strange thing is when I opened winipcfg it showed the built-in SIS card but for the wireless instead of showing Linksys wireless it's showing a Realtek RTL8180 Wireless Lan? The SisNIC card is showing an IP address of 169.254.34.103, Subnet Mask is shown as 255.255.0.0 and the DHCP Server is 255.255.255.255 and nothing in Default Gateway(not connected). All other systems/cards are showing 192.168.0.xxx, Subnet= 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway=192.168.0.1 and DHCP Server=192.168.0.1. Could the SIS card be causing a conflict? I want to be able to use hardwire SIS card if I'm somewhere where there isn't wireless.. Do I need to unplug wireless, connect hardwire and run Winipcfg to correct? Also, I have 3 enteries under Device Manager; 1. IrDA v3.0 Fast Ifrared Port ((The IR does not show up in Winipcfg)) 2. SIS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter 3. Wireless-B Notebook Adapter All 3 show up in CP-Network with TCP/IP's. Any suggestion on what to do with these, if anything? L. "James Egan" wrote in message ...
