I can get connected and have a 192... IP address using IPconfig/all
but I can't ping anything therefore I'm not "really" connected. I'm
using a Linksys WRT54G Router and Gigabyte desktop wlan pci lan cards
in the workstation. It sees the SSID fine and gets a 24 to 36mbps
connection but doesn't connect to the Internet nor can I ping
anything. What am I missing? I'm sure it's something I missed as I'm
just getting started with wireless connectivity. Any help from you
Gurus would be appreciated. Thanks

What are you trying to ping ? How are you configuring the access point
?

I went through the 'setup' that comes with Linksys and entered the data
it
ask for regarding SSID , the Login ID/PW for the DSL and then the
Passphrase. That's all that it ask me to do. I can access the internet
on
the machine that is directly connected to the router with an ethernet
cable
but not through the workstation downstairs that has a Gigabyte Turbo
802.11
g/b wireless lan card. It detects the router just fine with the right
SSID
and ask for the passphrase and I carefully enter that and it gets
connected
at 24 to 36 mbps. But I try to ping "anything" Amazon, an address and
if
I
type it in wrong it says I have the wrong name but with an IP address it
comes back as with all tries and returns 4 tries with no returns after 4
attempts. Does that help?

Sorry to be late in the process. You still haven't outlined ALL the
hardware
involved and how it is set up. For instance I got the impression that you
have
two descktop computers one with a wire connection to the router and one
with a wireless connection to the router. Can you ping the router intself
with
the wireless connection and can you ping the router with the computer that
is
connected with the wire?
If you are still having difficulties, RESET the box and start from there
with no
security etc...

later,
charles.....

Charles, you are correct. Two desktops, one direct connected(but also
with a wireless card for future use) and one separately connected about 60
to 70 feet away connecting wirelessly. So I tried pinging the router from
the directly connected and the wireless and they both can ping the router
with 4 for 4 in milliseconds. Since I started this question I have found
out how to log onto the router with the browser and checked the
connection. When I got to the last page for STATUS I saw that the
Internet was disconnected and so I tried to connect. It goes through
about 4 tires and comes back with a message " Can't get an IP address from
the PPPoE Server. I chated with a Bellsouth person who concluded I
needed to talk to Linksys about this as he couldn't help me. That doesn't
appear correct but what do I know?
