I have my laptop with linksys and wireless. But my wifes laptop will run when connected to the linksys but not to wireless . What do I do to get wireless?

its possible that the wireless card does not have the correct wireless settings.

Open the linksys wireless monitor on your wife's laptop.
Go to the profiles tab, highlight the default SSID then click on edit at the bottom. It will search for the wireless network, from the list of networks that it will show you, click the name of your wireless network, in if the network is secured you will be ask to put in your network key. Then click connect. Then it will say that you profile was successfully configured. then click connect to network. It will take you back back to the screen where you saw no association to the access point, check if you will now get a new message. On that same screen click the more info button at the upper left hand side. Check the IP address it should be 192.168.1.x. If you have that IP then you can test if you will be albe to get online.

if you still have any problem just reply to this post.

I'm a little confused about the status of your network adapter. Can you check to make sure your wireless network adapter(s) (wireless and physical) are set to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically" and to "Obtian DNS Automatically".

After this can you reconnect to the wireless network? Try the internet. If the internet still doesn't come up flush your temp files, close the browser and retry the internet. If it's still a no see below:

If so, can you try and do some simple "ping" diagnostics?

Open a command prompt:

1. Click on the START MENU and select RUN
2. Type in: cmd
3. Click OK
4. Type in >ping <ip address of wireless router>
Example: >ping 192.168.1.1
5. If your results are 4 "request timed out" then you have not established a wireless link yet. I would try and do a factory reset of the router and start over from scratch. A factory reset can be done by simply holding the "RESET" button on the back of the router for about 20-30 seconds.
6. If your results are 4 replies then you can run the next test.
7. Type in >ping 4.2.2.2
8. 4.2.2.2 = a public DNS server. If you get replies then your are on the internet, but it appears that name resolution is a problem. All this means is that when you try to go to www.google.com the DNS server that you should be contacted to find your way isn't able to tell you what the actual IP address is of www.google.com and so you go nowhere.
9. Provided you're set as a DHCP client (meaning your network adapter is set to "Obtain an IP address and DNS automatically" it means your wireless router (if it's the DHCP server - this is the default configuration) is giving you the wrong information for DNS.
10. I would contact your ISP for the correct DNS servers and make sure they are configured properly on the Router.
11. You can see what DNS servers you are actually getting from the Router if you run the following command from a command line: ipconfig /all

Hope this is helpfull.

Let me know if I can help any more.

To setup a wireless connection on a computer, the wireless card in the computer needs to be configured with the wireless router's settings.
