JELLIS1000 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I have the internet at home and have just purchased a Linksys Wireless Access Point thingy, all singing, all dancing, easy set up etc, Vists compatible (says it on the box, must be true) and having followed the cd supplied instructions i'm unable to get it working, my friend with his Apple Mac came round and got straight on my network with my password, all of which I set up, when I try it seems I get connected to the router but with no internet, i'm assuming its some security issue between my puter and the router!! Any suggestions?? Thanks Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyh Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Try turning off your fire wall in Vista, you will probably find the instructions tell you to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 First, connect your comp to port 1 of the router using the ethernet cable and see if you can surf the net. If so, problem is only over the wireless medium, and not due to firewall or some other software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JELLIS1000 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Thanks for those, the internet is fine through the cable direct to the computer, I have tried turning off the firewall to no avail, I will try the website now, failing that its going in the pool!! Seriously though, where can I take it to for someone with more computer savvy than me to try and sort out? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyh Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I have a dynalink that will not connect until you manually put in the wireless network name even though it show it. Surely you can contact support at linksys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyh Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Is there a new version of the software? the one you have may be for vista prior to SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) Try setting your wireless connection using Vista Wireless Zero Configuration: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/95 If it is disabled, you need to enable WLAN Autoconfig first: http://www.wlanbook.com/disable-windows-vi...-configuration/ Edited November 7, 2009 by trogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
