Question

laptop then has a Zyair wireless card, I have other pc's & laptops in the house but none of these can connect wirelessly. I have checked details & they are Add type Assigned by DHCP, IP add 82.36.93.159 (not a standard home network add) Subnet 255.255.248.0 Default gateway 82.36.88.1
Help please as no one who comes o the house can use wireless.

Answer 1

one is YOUR internet ip address, assigned to you by telewest:
(82.36.93.159)

the other is the ip of TELEWEST, your access point to the internet:
(82.36.88.1)

your home network address, assigned to your computer by the wireless router when you are connected to it will fall somewhere within the following: 192.168.x.x

all of the above are normal, and the problem does not lie with them - they tell you that your router is connected to the internet.

the problem will lie with the router which is probably setup incorrectly, or has wireless security enabled which is locking out attempts to connect to it.

or if you are getting a very weak wireless signal when close to the router with your laptop then there could be radio interference which is messing with the signal being given off by the router.

either way you will need to connect to the router's configuration page to fix it since this is the brains of the operation.

the address is normally http://192.168.0.1 and within this page you can see which (if any) security is enabled, then change any settings which may be stopping wireless clients from connecting.

if you think it's to do with the weak signal, look for the 'wireless channel' setting and change it to another frequency, apply this change then see if the signal strength has improved.

Answer 2

It sounds like you're not connecting properly to the wireless network. A wired connection works because the router is connected to the internet and the wire is a, more or less, guaranteed connection to the router. The wireless connection isn't able to lease an address from the router either because the router isn't serving addresses to wireless clients or because the authentication between your laptop and the router failed. This should be pretty simple for you to fix, provided you know the correct network key (WEP or WPA/PSK) for your wireless network. You can use your wired connection to find these out or you can look on the label on the router if you're sure they've not been changed from the factory settings. First disconnect the wire and then delete the wireless connection settings which are already set up. We'll set them up again dynamically - Your model of router has an 'N Connect' or WPS button on it which you'll need to press just after you connect to the wireless network for the first time. Find your wireless network by browsing for it under the tray icon (near the clock on XP / Vista) and double click it - give it the security passphrase it asks for and press the N Connect button on your router while your laptop tries to connect. Alternatively follow the instructions in the link below if you have the CD which shipped with your router.

I would goto http://www.netgear.com/ and see if there is an update for the router and/or a program to automatically configure basic settings for you.

Answer 5

Make sure your wireless local area connection is enabled and the regular lac disabled. If it is, try right clicking and repairing the connection. You should ultimately end up with a 192.xx.xx.xx ip address.

Answer 6

probably yours, it changes daily. If you are on the net on that machine then use abeltronica speed also shows your ISP

You will need to set up the computers with the correct settings first. Switch of all security and get it working and then add WAP etc
You know that all M/C's will have to be enabled as well dont you.

Answer 7

Since IP addresses are mostly dynamic, it is nearly impossible to determine because they change all the time.
