This is my first attempt at making wireless connection so please bear with
me.
I have NetGear MA111 Wireless USB Adaptor and a NetGear Router. I running
Windows 98 and my ISP is Comcast. I have installed the adaptor and it has
successfully made the connection to the router with signal strength and
quality at 100%. However, I am unable to access the Internet.
NetGear advised me to do the following:
In regards to your issue please provide static ip address in your
computer. To assign static ip address follow the steps below:
1. Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network.
2. Select Internet Protocol TCP/IP for the Network Adapter under
General tab and click on Properties.
3. Specify an IP address in the range of 192.168.0.x with the subnet
mask as 255.255.255.0
4. Click on Gateway tab and add the address as 192.168.0.1
5. Click on DNS Configurations and Enable DNS and type the host name
and assign the Preferred and Alternate DNS address as 192.168.0.1 and
4.2.2.2 under DNS Server Search Order and click Ok and restart the
computer.
I did this (except in step 5 there is no pace to enter Preferred and
Alternate DNS address) with no success.
I have provided my results to NetGear but no response.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
