ok, I have an Edimax router, with 2 pc's connected yo it, this 1 (the 1 i dont use) can connect to the internet threw it fine, the 1 i use, cant connect to the inet.
For some reason i cant ping the soddin router either, ive tried reseting it, but to no avail.
help plz?
firewall on the pcs?
theres 1 on the router, but never caused probs in past
Tried swapping the RJ-45 cable's round. If it's not even pinging sounds like it's not connected, which could be a cable problem.
i can ping it from either pc, but i can connect to the i-net threw this 1, so i doubt its a cable problem. :/
What OS you running?
If you're running 2k/XP, click start run, cmd (enter)
pathping www.bbc.co.uk
It will try to ping the beeb, but shows every response along the way.
Whilst you're at it. do an IPconfig /all and right down what it outputs.
If PC#2 can connect to the net and ping the router, but PC#1 can't ping the router then you've some connectivity issues.
Some basic questions that you've probably already considered:I'ed use the 'working' PC to turn the routers firewall off whilst you are trying stuff.
- You have tested more than one app - i.e. more than just the web browser such as email client / messenger client etc?
- Both computers can seach each other on the network and can transfer files?
- You have tried setting the network card up with a manual i.p. on the same subnet and set the default gateway to the routers internal i.p?
ok..
I've turned all the f/w's off.
I can ping the Router from both pc's, but can connect to the i-net threw neither.
I have a static MAC/physical address, but this isnt shown on the router and its giving me another 1, which i dont use.
At best, ive been able to connect to the router's HTML pages from both pc's but cant connect to the i-net at all.
the status screen on router just says "Disconnected" when i click it.
I've had to resort to using old pc, and direct Broadband non-routed. i could run any apps from pc2 trickle.
I couldnt ping anything (that url included) from upstairs Jiff.
ok, so i got my router working downstairs, but ive broke the pins in my monitor cable. great fun, i cant ping connect to any url with the hardware f/w on either :E
