Connecting wireless

May 27, 2005 7:06PM PDT

Hi everyone,

I am trying to connect a second computer to my wireless connection. I have a Lynksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, model No WRT54G, and a Lynksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter, model No WPC54G. My other computer is connected already for a while and works fine. But after installing the wireless card on the second computer, if says that I have connection on the wireless icon but I cannot access the internet. Do I may be have to install as well the program for Lynksys Wireless-G Broadband Router or what should I do?
Can anyone please help me connect?

Thanks, I appreciate it!

there might be some bad configuration which is doing this thing. go into the configuration page of your router,which you can do as following
1. open an IE browser window
2. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your router
3. a popup window shows up and demand for password
leave the username blank and type the password as "admin". ( do not include " )
4. check there.
I'm sure you will find something that is obstructing
you

thanx

Thanks for your help! I finally managed to connect. It was Norton that was somehow blocking the connection, so when I disabled it, it worked straight away.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
