Hi!
I have a Linksys WRT54G (ver7) Wireless Router.
I bought an xbox360 last week, and im using wired connection to access xbox live, and now there is no internet on my dad's computer (he use wireless connection). Signal is good, but he can't access the internet.

Pls help me :(

is it possible the xbox nicked the ip address your dads machine was using previously?

take a look at the current settings your dads machine is using, write them down.

now enter them manually but change the ip address by 1 digit at the end, so if previously it was 192.168.1.2 it should now be 192.168.1.33, you get the idea?

also if he already has a manual ip in use, change it as above.

i will bet your dad's comp is set up to obtain ip address, i would check your "starting ip address" in your router settings to make sure it has enough ip's to issue without duplication

like he said check both ip's to make sure they are not the same, if they are check to see if your dad's is obtained automatically (xbox 360 is by default unless you altered).... if it is then i would check router settings for issued IP's
