Help Pls Wireless Adapter

Ok have a Intel 2915 802.11a/b/g card in my laptop. Ive gotten it finally so at least i conect to my linksys router. Shows 54mbp excelent conection. Here is my real problem though. I cant connect to the internet. If i plug in my cable cord internet works find, but if i unplug it and try and use wireless i cant conect to the **** internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated this is frustrating the hll outta me. I have another laptop upstairs that i conected easily i dunno whats wrong with this one seems as though all the settings are the same.

 

Oh just to add a little more info i got the driver/software off the intel site its the latest version. And using microsoft client not intel Proset to establish a conection.

 

Is there a password for the wireless?

Also, the firmware for the linksys router?

 

Driver version im using is 9.0.3.9 and router is Linksys WRT54G

 

Only password i believe is the one for the 128bit encryption. Which ive entered already into the conection settings. Dunno anything about firmware upgrades i tried one before and almost botched my router. Whats your recomendation. Its wierd how im connected wirelessly showing an excellent conection i just cant get on the internet at all.

 

I had that problem when I was setting up my router over the weekend...excellent connection, no internet. We went through so many things I can't remember how we solved it...I think it was password, but I dont' remember. Since the router's Linksys, call them--they were on the phone with me for a very long time (free) over the weekend and solved it with me. They impressed the Hell out of me. And I was brand new to wireless, so you may already be ahead of the game.

 

do you happen to have linksys' number? I dont have the instruction manual anymore which would have it in it.

 

Make sure you are entering the HASH and not the passphrase you used.
If I recall, the MS wizard wants the actual HASH code that the passphrase creates
if you are using WEP 64 or 128 bit it is going to be either a 10-25 series of numbers and letters.

I battled with mine a bit when I first got into wireless.

 

You can talk with them online and have your questions answered. What i would do is:
Update all the Firmware and the drivers. Maybe try disabling your security. Also, on the laptop that doesnt have internet, type your ip address (your isp's, you can do a google like "What is my ip".) You type your ip address into a broswer's page as you would type in a internet address. And look to see if any settings dont look like or ask what they do. Try disabling your security through there also. If you cant get to that page that means your not connecting to the router properly.

 

yup thats what ive entered and thats the reason i am able to connect to the linksys router. Its showing 54mbp excelent connection. My only problem is that i dont understand why i cant connect to the internet.

 

But did you still update all your stuff and disable your security?
