Hi!

I'm in some desperate need of computer help. I have been trying for two weeks to configure my laptop and desktop to a wireless network. After reading these posts for the past two weeks, I have FINALLY been able to connect my USB adapters to the network. On both computers, the signal strength is "Excellent", yet when I open Internet Explorer, it says "this page can not be displayed".

I can access the internet via my wired connection on my laptop.

My laptop is a IBM Thinkpad and my desktop is a Acer. The laptop is using a Linksys-G Adapter to connect and the desktop is using a Belkin-G Adapter to connect. Both computers run off Windows-XP.

I have tried multiple things to fix the problem.
1) I have tried ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew
(this changed my connections to "limited or no connectivity" so I changed the settings back to configure manually)
2) I have powered down my router, modem, and computers multiple times
3) I have deleted my Temporary Internet files
4) I have disabled ICS
5) My roommate's computer is a MAC and connects fine to the router so I don't think there are any issues with ISP, router, or any of my USB adapters.

I would GREATLY appreciate any of your help! School is starting soon and I would like to be able to use the internet!

Thank you!
Tou have spent enough time on this.

I do hope that Geek means Cisco. If you use Crisco on your computers, Patio and Broni and some of the other gurus here won't like that at all.

See what the Cisco link has to offer.
