right , eather the 192.168.2.1 isnt your routers right IP , or theres another setting set wrong somewere.

what about those router pages from a wired pc, give us all the info asked for so we can help you solve this far quicker.

does the router see the connected USB pc now and what IP does it think its using 192.168.2.2 ?, is the routers ip really 192.168.2.1 and if not what are these?.

im off soon as im busy but ill try and keep an eye on whats happening with the info you supply etc.

Well would you have believed it! Did an IPCONFIG on the laptop, and got the reply back of an IP address of 192.168.2.2 which is the same as one of my desktop 'wired' PCs.

IP Address: 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway - This is BLANK

Helpful?

Andy, alright its been setup incorrectly.

set it with the following:

IP: 192.168.2.55
sub 255.255.255.0
gate: 192.168.2.1
dns: 192.168.2.1

okay you havent spoken to the guys in the UK then...

andy21 · 07-02-2008, 23:19

Did as suggested. Results shown below

Ping to 192.168.2.55 Successful
Ping to 192.168.2.3 XP wired PC -Request Timed out
Ping to 192.168.2.2 Vista wired PC - Request timed out

DocDutch · 07-02-2008, 23:23

okay with the ip set to 192.168.2.55 can you ping the router on 192.168.2.1 and or can you ping 66.102.9.99??

---------- Post added at 23:23 ---------- Previous post was at 23:22 ----------

with the pings to the other computers its only cuz the firewalls on those arent letting the request come through. easy to fix it but want to know 1st of all if you got connection to the router.

popper · 07-02-2008, 23:29

and try pinging 192.168.2.55 from those *.3 and *.2 pcs as well, can they ping ok ?

check the USB pcs windows firewall is off.

is the belkins default ip 192.168.2.1 Doc, so we are reasonably sure if andy doesnt tell us for sure the router is set to that Ip, it probably is right.

ohh, i asume the belkin has a ping page in there somwere doc?,if so, remember to also ping the pcs and the url
ping www.ntlworld.com from that router page too to give full info....

BTW i told you on the edit above to change the IP from *.2 to *.22 if you already have that IP assigned, but doc likes 5s so thats ok too

ping 66.102.9.99?? is that some sort of internal default belkin firmware IP Doc?

andy21 · 07-02-2008, 23:30

Managed to see a listing of Windows services that are started.
also in Network connections the Wireless connection icon is there next to the LAN one
and there is NO red x on it.
Still not getting internet, even though the message at bottom of screen says 'Wireless Network Connection 17 is now connected'

66.102.9.99 is part of the ips that google uses

on all the belkin routers the routers page is standard set to 192.168.2.1, afaik none of the belkin routers have a ping as default on the page. (just checked nopes they dont)

and popper yer a cheeky bugger

the issue is in the wireless adapter, its the F5D7050 I assume, on the bottom right side of it there are some numbers can you give those to me Andy?

did you do what I asked you to do Andy, ie ping 66.102.9.99 from the Dell laptop?

andy21 · 07-02-2008, 23:40

Sorry guys, I maybe getting myself in front or behind with messaging and I do apologise for that, but I have never been involved with this forum solution
techniques before, which I got to admit is the best way, much shared knowledge makes good. I just think I may be getting a bit lost with all this.

So I stop and take five while I see where I am exactly. Speak in short while

So long DocDutch and thanks again for your help....see you tomoz!

DocDutch · 07-02-2008, 23:44

okay, 2 options

1. we can try to get this to work normally
2. uninstall the bugger again and install the driver only package (for this I would need to know the details bottom right of the adapter)

also you said its an old Dell lappy... can you check what kind of usb chipset you got running on it (device manager) as there is somethin in my mind thats niggling at the moment but cant put a finger on it yet.

have a look at the attached picture..thats has all the versions of the usb adapter that you have, gimme the version number and we'll fix this for you asap
