Ben,

You seem to be having lots of problems with Internet connections, do you think it might be best to stick to one problem at a time?

In your other post, you say that you have a PC that won't connect to web pages with IE or FF browsers. Is this the same PC that you are now trying to connect wirelessly?

Clawer, What is the actual issue here? I think I can help, but I need to know what the problem is more than "its connected to my router but no internet"

Are you basing this supposed connection on the Windows Wireless Icon saying connected, or have you actually verified that you are getting DHCP or that you know your Static IP and DNS are set correctly for the router... Details!

Off hand, if you haven't used the router in a while, the best thing to do is start over from scratch, download the most recent firmware, install it, and let the router reboot. After the reboot, press and hold the sunken reset button for 5-10 secs. When it comes back up, it will have NO ENCRYPTION!! Configure from there, if you would like a step-by-step walkthrough on configuring your flavor of wireless router, let me know the model and I will prepare a very secure scheme for you, depending on the model I can write the "Settings backup file" for it.

Let me know if this sounds like something you would want.

John
