I am trying to establish internet connectivity for a laptop that is 802.11g ready through my linksys WRT54G v2 router. But no matter what I try...it won't let me get online.
I have tried setting the TCP/IP Protocol to Obtain IP and Obtain DNS automatically, but to no avail.
The weird thing is...I can establish the wireless signal without a problem, WEP and all. The wireless ready laptop (802.11g) simply won't allow me to connect to the internet wirelessly or via the LAN.
Even when I Run the cmd prompt and try to run a "ping"...I get nothing. Also, the IP address listed in the ipconfig function comes back as 0.0.0.0
Anyone have any ideas what additional means I may explore to establish connectivity? I have been systematically removing a series of viruses and Trojan Horse Downloaders - could that have an impact? I was able to get online two days ago via the LAN, before I started to remove the viruses.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
