Re: Help w/ Wireless

Hi Jeff:

thank you for the tips...you seem to really know your stuff when it comes to
this wireless networking. Forgive me but i am a "newbie" when it comes to
wireless and may not know all the proper terms when it comes to this stuff.

I tried to ping an internet address using 192.168.1.254, which was
successful on all 4 attempts. then i tried to ping www.hawkingtech.com and
other web addresses and they failed every time. i wasn't sure what u mean by
checking the gateway IP address and DNS servers with ipconfig/all|more

any more suggestions?

Clyde
