Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Felix12]

O.K., First of all i have a netgear wireless usb adapter which is wirelessly connected to a linksys router on a another computer which i don't have access to. I have tried Mozilla Firefox and IE6 but they don't help.

So on to my problem. Most sites i try to connect to won't even load (i.e. microsoft.com). They just don't load. So if any of you could hel me that would be great but if you can't just be straight forward and say it.


Thanks alot!

No you see my uncle set it up but he runs then whole thing from his laptop and he went on vacation so im stuck.

What are you using to connect, i.e. NetGear's software or Windows? (look down by the clock, you'll see the icon for whichever you're using) If NetGear's, open it up and under the Network tab (I think) you'll see a button called Scan. Click it. How many networks come up? More importantly, is your uncle's network using security settings (WEP, etc.)?

I got the XP SP2 so it is windows.



No he doesn't use a wep key but his settings only allows my computers mac address and my psps's mac address.

If you go to start the run and type cmd then in the DOS like window type ipconfig /release then ip config /renew does it pull a new ip and or let you online?
