i formatted my hard drive, and ever since, have not been able to get on the internet from that computer. i have roadrunner and a wireless router, and the little computer icon on the taskbar is lit up green, which indicates that it should be working, but it isnt. i've already reinstalled the router software a few times. anybody have some possible solutions?
Are you connected wired or wirelessly? If wireless what brand of adapter and what brand of router do you have? What is you default gateway. Set it at you router address. Linksys by default is 192.168.1.1 .
wireless. SMC router, Netgear adapter. where do i set my gateway, and where do i find my router address? sorry if i seem not-so-computer savvy.
What OS is it? It seems to be windows 98 The default ip address of the router is probably 192.168.1.1 To set that as the gateway: go to network connections
[...] select your wireless conection right click on the icon select properties and find default gateway and put it in.
Forgot to mention a step, disregard above... select you wireless connection right click on icon select properties select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) press properties and input the address. BUT, that's if you want a static IP which you probably don't need so: PUt in the router's IP in the DNS address.
