I get IP...but no Internet

[titans13]

Here's the story....

Three computers on wireless network. Network is working perfectly.

One computer, running WinME, gets a great signal, gets an IP and everything else (shows up fine in winipcfg). Upon opening ANY internet program, there is an immediate error. IE and Netscape cannot open any page, and there is no delay...it is an immediate error. Internet - aware progs like Messenger never attempt to load. It is as if there is no connection.

All looks fine in Device Manager.

I can ping the router, but if I attempt to load the router config page in a browser, I get the immediate "page cannot be displayed" error. I can ping the other computers on the network as well.

There is no firewall installed on any of the computers. There is no encryption enabled (I know...but I am just trying to get this working before I secure it).

I reinstalled Windows to no avail.

IE6 and Netscape 7...not that it matters.

If anyone can think of anything I missed, it is greatly appreciated!

You said your PC gets an IP automatically. But what is the IP it gets? If it gets it from windows (e,g, 165,*,*,*) instead of from the router then all your PCs will talk to each other but be on a separate subnet to the router and you will get exactly the symptoms you describe.

Check your router has LAN DHCP switched on.

It gets a 192.168.0.3 IP from the Netgear router, which is fine. The DNS server shows up as 192.168.0.1, which is the router address...and DHCP is enabled in the router. Keep in mind...two other PCs are using this router using DHCP and doing it flawlessly. One is running 98SE and one XP Home.

Thanks for your input....

OK - wrong guess - lacking information I think.

You are able to share folders between all the PCs ?

The other thing worth checking is IE's connection settings on the ME PC:
Tools->internet options->connections->check 'never dial a connection'->LAN Settings ->check 'automatically detect settings', other buttons uncheck.

I have the same exact problem. I have a linksys version 1 router BEFW11S4. I have the LAN Port 1 hooked up to my main PC which runs WIndows XP, computer name is jupiter and network name is solarsys. I get Internet Connection and everything is fine. Ipconfiog shows it pulling an internal ip 192.168.100. WAn Ip address is fine and everything works on the desktop. TCP/Ip settings are set to obtain everything automatically since I have DHCP enabled on the router. SSid is also solarsys and no encryption is set on the router for WEP. No Mac Filtering is enabled.

I also have a Win98 SE Laptop and a Linksys WPC11 PCMPCIA Card and I installed it and I setup the SSID to "solarsys", no encryption and ipconfig shows it pulling an ip of 192.168.0.101 and it shows the signal strenght as good in the configuration utility and link quality as good, around 70-80% for both and it shows the right DNS settings and Gateway and ROuter Ip of 192.168..0.1 which is the same settings as my desktop. However in Internet explorer, when I try to go to a url, it says in the bottom left of internet explorer status bar that "detecting proxy settings" and then after a while it times out. I have setup explorer so it never dials a dialup connection, I have setup under LAN settings so it bypasses proxy server and automatically detect settings has been checked on and off and it still does the same thing. AI have on the Laptop TCP/IP installed, Microsoft Network and my Wireless Network Adapter installed, TCP/IP binded to my Wireless Network Adapter, TCP/IP settings set to obtain IP automatically, and the TCP/Ip over Netbui or whatever is greyed out but it is check marked. I setup the network name is solarsys, and the laptop name is mars, and the desktop name is jupiter, and in network neighboorhood they do not detect each other. Once, and only once, the Jupiter Computer (the PC on the Wired network) did show up briefly but when I clicked it the Laptop eventually said cannot connect. But the Internet has never worked.

Any help on this? The Laptop Wireless card is a version 2 WPC11 card.

mcq3000 - your problem is not the same, anyway please start a new thread with your problem and I will answer it there, or this thread will become too confused.
(Note check your IP addresses and correct in the new post - 192.168.100 is not a valid address).
Thanks.
