Internet access problem
I have networked my broadband connection using a dray-tek router. For some reason I couldn't connect to it using my belkin wireless card, however my flat mate using the same card accessed the router fine, the only diffence I can see being is that he uses Windows 98 and I use XP. I had the card working with a previous router so I know the card is ok. After eventually giving up with the wireless card, i connected to the router via a network cable. Worked fine for two days until i turned the computer off, now I click on internet explorer and the page can not be displayed message comes up.( I installed service pack 2 in this time but am assured by the help desk it hasn't caused the problem). Network connections acknowledges that I am connected and I can even ping the routers ip address but no access to the internet. Even the wireless card has started connecting to the router again but still no internet access. Its just so strange how it worked perfectly and then stopped when I turned it off.
The router definately works fine as one of my flat mates uses the wireless conection off it and the other uses a network cable. I have also turned off my firewalls.
I have a new athlon 64 3000 compaq computer so Im ruling out hardware issues.
I have wasted two weekends of this please help.
Thanks in advance
