ok guys i know this isnt related to atvs at all but i know u guys are using computers so at least one of u knows somethin about em right? well i have a problem with a router.. we had internet with a router and every thing worked fine.. i decided to unhook it for a while and hook my computer into the modem.. no problems.. but later on i hooked it back to router then back to modem again and my computer wouldnt pick up the internet signal so i pressed reset on the box.. nothing.. restarted computer turned off box u name it i did it.. nothing i upgraded firmware nothing... i need help guys and i have no idea can u help me please?

 

Go to the command prompt - start > run enter "cmd" and click ok on win 2000 or better machines
This will open a command prompt
Type ipconfig and press enter
This should return the TCP/IP info
If you have nothing try entering ipconfig /renew and check to see if it came up

Let me know if this works. Win 98 & 95 have something similar but its a little different and I forgot the syntax...

 

k i did that and i got

connection-spicific DNS suffix
ip adress
subnet mask
and defult gateway

so it seems to be recogniseing it but just when i type in a website on either computer (the 2 that are connected) it will just show this page can not be displayed.. like i said i resetted every thing and i can even acess my router setup but just no internet wtfs wrong!

 

I assume there was something for each of those items. If so you are connected. Try going to the command promt and typing "ipconfig /flushdns" and pressing enter to see if that clears it up. After that i'm not much use if i'm not sitting there...

 

yep i it did have ip numbers and stuff i just didnt type them... i typed the flush.. still same problem.. i dunno whats wrong i dont get it!! only thing i can think of is resinstall linksys software.. problem.. i lost the cd.. crapolas thanks for the replys man.. any ideas? my dad needs to use the internet.. its been 3 days it hasnt been working

 

I can't think of anything else to try. You could go to the command prompt and try "ping qwest.net" and if the request doesn't timeout then you have a connection to the internet so it has something to do with the browser/internet if you the request times out it is the connection. By the way you can't ping all sites as it maybe prevented for security.

 

just tryed it nothing.. its wierd the router seems to connect to an ip but wont let me use the internet.. the connection is fine.. im running from the modem right now but i need to use the router.. i think this started when i think i accidentially flashed the router (holding down the reset button)

 

Try powering down everything, computer, router, and modem. Then unplug the power from the router and modem.

Wait a few minutes, then plug modem back in. Wait until the lights sync up, then plug in the router, and then turn on the computer.

This has helped reset my system sometimes.

 

i have a linksys router and it took a crap on us, had to buy a new and it worked fine


p.s. how can you post on here if you dont have internet? lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] just wondering??

 

lol i already said that.. i just hooked my computer to the modem
