Now we're talking :D

Ok - both computers should now be able to access the internet - can they?

LADYDEB · February 15, 2005

Nope, I can only go on-line if the usb is plugged back in.

What are the above??

Strands of hair I've pulled out!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry SCUZZMAN this damned machine is sooooooooooo frustrating.

I feel like I'm wasting your time.

The second machine goes through detecting proxy settings and tries to open google, but then says this page is not available.

The first machine won't go on-line without the usb plugged into the broadband modem. :o

scuzzman · February 15, 2005

That's OK - we can work with this.

Now, your comptuer and router are communicating, we need to assure the router is communicating with the modem.

We want to access the rotuer config by doing this:

Open Internet Explorer
Go up to Tools->Internet Options, Connections Tab
Click "LAN Settings" - untick everything and click OK
Click OK on the Internet Options dialog
Go to the address bar and enter
```
http://192.168.1.1
```

This will be the router setup. If you're prompted with a username and password, leave the username blank, and the password is: admin

On the left is a list of options, one of which says "Internet connection type". Be sure this is set to "Obtain IP Automatically" and if it's not, change it.

Click "Status" at the top, this will bring you to your connection summary.

Find the "Internet" or "WAN" section, and record all information.

Post that here.

LADYDEB · February 15, 2005

Ok SUZZMAN,

Just for verification purposes, did you want me to type the http address into the main IE address bar, I assumed this was so as I couldn't see any other.

I did this and after several attempts, a big red warning screen came up saying:

401 AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED.

Server coul not verify authorized access............ etc.

The screen which appeared was, I believe, a hotmail screen, which gave me a list of 5 possible hotmail e-mail addresses as passwords. These all belong to my son and his friends.

Should I try again using these e-mails one by one, hoping that one of them may work.

Regards

LADYDEB

scuzzman · February 15, 2005

No, don't use any of those.

Leave the username blank (type nothing in the box) and type in the Password: box

admin

So: it's

Username:

- LEAVE BLANK - TYPE NOTHING AT ALL

Password: admin

LADYDEB · February 15, 2005

SORRY SCUZZMAN

I meant that the username came up with the hotmail e-mails.

I did type in admin in the password box. Sorry again, I made a mistake.

scuzzman · February 15, 2005

Right - if a username appears by itself, delete it.

Also, if you keep getting that 401 error, reset your rotuer (small button on the back - you'll need to hit it with a pen/paperclip)

OK - the modem and router are failing to communicate.

Check your connections and, if neccessary try this:

Turn everything off (computers, routere, etc)

Turn on your modem, wait for all lights to go steady

Turn on router

Turn on ciomputer

Paste that information again

You should be able to access the internet now - can you?

LADYDEB · February 15, 2005

;) :flowers: :) :P :D

Hi SCUZZMAN ~ THE MAGNIFICIENT!!!

I don't know if it was resetting the router thats done it. BUT.... We appear to be on-line. BOTH COMPUTERS!!!

YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are a superstar.

I shall crack open a bottle of cherryade in your honour lol.

I shall also try very very hard not to find anything else to sort out thats gonna be a BIG pain, like this has been.

THANKYOU SOOO MUCH SCUZZMAN!

WHAT LOVELY PEOPLE YOU ALL ARE ON THESE FORUMS.

BIG SMILE

LADYDEB :) :) :)

scuzzman · February 15, 2005

OK - just a few pointers to keep you outta trouble:

1) That procedure we did with the powering down and bringing back up is called a "powercycle" - repeat that if you have trouble connecting in the future

2) Do NOT hook that USB cord back up - ethernet is much more stable, and will prevent these types of troubles

3) If you need anything more - we're here for ya :)

Now tell me, do you need help setting up file sharing between the PC's?

LADYDEB · February 15, 2005

:) :D

Hi SCUZZMAN!

Your generosity knows no bounds!!

The only thing that I'd really like to share between the two computers is being able to send images/text for printing purposes as we only have the one printer, which is hooked up to the main computer. Also maybe, can the internet favourites list be shared in some way??

Thanks again SCUZZMAN. :flowers:

LADYDEB

scuzzman · February 15, 2005

Favorites.. probably not...

as for the images... Click Network Neighborhood and see if your workgroup is listed

scuzzman · February 15, 2005

You may need to share one of the drives... reply if you need help doing so... I'll try, not to experienced in sharing Windows-to-Windows... I have a samba system up, but it's with Linux.

LADYDEB · February 15, 2005

Hi again SCUZZMAN,

I can't find NETWORK NEIGHBOUR.

So, I think, what I'm gonna do is......... buy another printer.

It'll be just as easy as anything else and they're not terribly expensive, and, I've taken up enough of your valuable time.

If there was ever, and I mean this, ever, anything I could do to repay you for all your help, you just let me know! (Yeah, I realise what I know about all this would leave lotsa space on a postage stamp, but anything you can think of, don't hesistate!!)

Take very good care SCUZZMAN. :P

See you around the forum maybe.

LADYDEB

scuzzman · February 15, 2005
