setting up a wireless network with only 1 laptop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

hi all, here's the prob, bought myself a d-link dwl-g650+ wireless pcima card and a d-link di-624 4 port lan router, my idea was to free myself of cables and use my laptop in the garden, it is the only pc in the house, installed the software for the card and configured the router, however even tho i have a 54mbps connectio between the router and card, if i attempt to access the net, it fonds no service, i've tried everything that i can think of although i'm not so experienced with wireless, updates and patches have been installed, also i cannot now access the routers config screen by typing 192.168.0.1, it comes back with service ntot found,


anyone got any ideas or help for me, thanks in advance

I have the exact same setup, you can only access the 192.168.0.1 of the router with a physical (not wireless) connection. You will have to connect it with a cable then you can adjust the settings of the router. After that you should be ok.

excellent, just the type of info that i needed to know, kinda of hard to find the right info when you're not really sure where to look

many thanks

Where is your link to the outside world? You need a dial-up, DSL, or cable
modem to which your router WAN port would be connected.

And of course you have to be signed up with an ISP.

Yes, I agree. Removing, then re-installing the software may be the answer.
Good luck.

router and card don't always see each other and an ip address isn't being
issued to the card from the router????
