after trying a lot, i finally have signal reaching my laptop from the
router through a cable. but still when i try to connect with my belkin
wi fi card i don't get the signal or maybe the laptop doesn't accept
the signal; coz i can see that the card icon on the system tray says
the connection is excellent. but when i open the browser there is no
signal.

That's NOT "no signal" -- that's "no connection". BIG difference.
If you trick us with bad information like that, then we won't be able to
help you. ;)

so i used the ping command. here is what i get:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Roohbir Singh>cd\

C:\>ipconfig

This is IPCONFIG, not PING -- checking to see if we'll notice? ;)

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

That's working!

C:\>ping 192.168.0.1

Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

The router may not be configured to respond to ping packets.

this i get when i try the wifi network card. although now that i've
connected with a wire, the signal is perfect.
can anybody fathom the reason?

Is DHCP working? Since you withheld that information from us, we have
no way of knowing. ;) If it is working, then something else must be
misconfigured.

i am in big trouble. i was trying the WPA encryption and i don't know
what i did or what options i chose, i have completely lost all signal
from the router. even when i try to connect to my cable modem with a
wire, i receive only 'limited connectivity'. WLAN light on the router
doesn't show so i guess the problem is with the router. i tried
resetting it but i couldn't see any change. i tried the configuration
pages of the router but i can't access them. is there any way i can go
back in time?
need help desperatley coz my work is dependent on my laptop.
thanks in advance

after making changes in the router's configuration you need to re-boot
it or if there is no option to do that simply unplug it from power for
30-seconds and you should be good to go.
