does the wireless card in the laptop have it mac adress entered into the router ?

mate of mine had a similar issue… and the router wasn’t assigning a default gateway via DHCP - so he could ping the router, but had no net access.

tried statically assigning ?

DHCP Client List is showing the lappy’s mac address

belkin router g+ if that helps

ipconfig /all

will show the NIC’s default gateway, if there is one :slight_smile:

this is the result

hmmm looks okay to me tbh… but then I don’t know vista lol

at least that’s ruled out the default gway / dns stuff by the look of it.

what are the results from:-
ping 192.168.2.1
ping 212.58.253.70
ping www.bbc.co.uk (this should do a dns lookup to the above ip :wink: )
tracert www.bbc.co.uk

the results

DNS is broke, try getting the dotted decimal DNS server address from the router/gateway and manually configuring the adapter with a valid address, router as default gateway, router as primary DNS and your router’s DNS server as secondary DNS server

aye, DNS is the culprit :slight_smile:

I’ve manually set the DNS servers on my PC to
primary - router
secondary - 208.67.222.222 (opendns)

cheers space boy it worked will see how it works for a while

ta m8 and all those that gave advice (mojo)
