No Internet access, but strong signal, "connected" to wirelessHi,
My laptop connects to several wireless networks (at school, friend's home linksys wireless router, etc) But at my house, using a Linksys router, my PC cannot access Internet but gives strong signal strencth and says it's connected. The router has WEP 64 enabled. When I connect, I enter the WEP key and all 'looks' OK but no internet. If I use the trial version of Network magic, I can get internet access but eventuall I'll have to pay for a license. I don't want to do that, it network magic can 'configure' my laptop , why can't I? Any ideas. It sounds like a problem with your network key to me. You might want to try
entering your password as a hex value.

from Linksys) and that software gets me to the Internet using that key. But if I enter it without Newwork Magic, "page cannot be displayed" is all I ever get.

If this works, read ezlan.net/metrics. I
found this to be an eye opener.

cards. I have found that it tells me I am connected in Windows but the Belkin Client Utility says I am not when in truth the card is sending and the Router is not sending. So I have found that when you have the connected in windows check to see if your packets is sending and not receiving and then walk over to the router/ap and unplug it for a minute and then plug it back in. I immediately see the packets start running and the connecting in the Belkin CU shows connected. I have been having long discussions with Belkin over this issue. The worst part is that I might have two or three computers working on one router and the other computers are working just fine but the newest connection cannot get on. Try the re-booting the router and see what happens.
