Internet

[dahwan]

I am setting up internett on a friends new PC. It came with windows vista. There is a router here. My PC is connected to the net with the router in the room, but when i try to connect to internet with my friend's PC, it tells me "Windows can not connect to Sitecom"

I have diagnosed and repaired without luck, I have resterted the net card in the PC and so on.

Why cant this PC connect to internet, and how can i fix it?

Thx in advance, Dahwan.

Is your network card set to used DHCP?

Do you have a valid IP address on the second PC?

Any proxys specified?

As said, is IP set to DHCP?

Actually, is it wired or wireless first of all?

Lower any firewalls?

Is the fucker plugged in? (ie, does the light on the router light up?)

How do i set IP to DHCP?

Google is your friend.

Your need to set the machine to have an automatic IP address, this means the router (should) dish it out a valid address and let you connect.

Is enrcyption switched on or off? Switch encryption off and try again?

*sigh*

I very much dont get it =S

Noob in da house. I need more spesific instructions to do this ^^'

[dahwan]

should i enable proxy server?

[dahwan]

Just so you guys know, the new PC can connect to all the neighbour's networks, just not my own. And i really dont understand why :S

[Welsh Pete]

so its wireless?

[dahwan]

Yes

[Welsh Pete]

ok...has this router got a wireless security key?

[dahwan]

Yes. I never get an option for inputing it though. It just tells me i cant connect.

[muttleymacclad]

You need to download the instructions for your router I reckon.

As welsh pete says, you need to set the router to DHCP so it dishes out IP addresses to those who are trying to access it. Also make sure your router is not filtered to only give out an IP to your pc's mac address.

Reset the fucker back to factory settings.

Or try:

192.168.0.1
192.168.2.1
