DLink connection DLink router has been set up by the internet server. All lights are green. Laptop is on and functioning fine all networks are fine, yet the pop up says there is no connection. Everything seems to be fin, but no internet connection. Passwords etc. are all in order. Any suggestions? Aaron Lehman. [email protected]

If you have the network receiving light on then then your on the internet.How many more lights are there?Nearly all lights must be on with maybe one led light that doesn't concern your connection.There should be one light for power on,the d-link,and the internet led.Is your pc internet connection configured properly.Go to control panel,go to network and connect to internet.this will search for a server number.If it is configured you will have to contact your server by phone.

1. Login to router first and verify that the router status via the rj45 cable (ethernet).

If you connect the computer to the router , it works.
That means the wired connection is OK.
Open the set up page of the router check the wireless settings of the router.
I think your network is secured and you are not typing the correct network key.
just open the router set up and check the wireless settings .
Make sure that the DHCP server on the router is enabled

as no one has answered this I will give it a go .
Check or download the latest printer driver for whatever operating system the laptop is running.
Could be a dhcp server clash from the wi fi print server and the link sys router . Check there are two DCHP servers and if there are deactivate on and use the other .
check the ip addresses in use on the laptop and on the desktop and the printer. make sure subnet mask are all the same but ip addresses are unique but within the network range. eg 198.168.0.2 - 198.168.0.254 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
or 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.254
check the ip address for print server is different to the ip address for the router and make sure DCHP range does not clash with router assigned ip addresses .

you need a cat 5 or better to work fine, and if you have turned mac filter on, please check/add if needed your laptop to the network, best is to use dlink given cd, with has auto-detect devices function inside, then adjust security setting manually

It probably isn't an overload the flashing lights are probably the new device doing a broadcast trying to find something that will tell it how to configure its network port. This process is called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

Normally your router would be automatically configured to be a DHCP server. If you have not needed to manually configure TCP/IP on your desktop computer then You have a DHCP server turned on somewhere.

Your next step should be to find out where your DHCP server is and if your new device has contacted it. Find the manual for your router and have a read about how to configure it expecialy the bits about DHCP.

Then open a command prompt. Sometimes called a dos prompt by typing cmd in the start run box and type ipconfig /all The Default gateway should tell you the IP number of your router. type that IP number into a web browser like this. http://192.168.0.1 (or what ever it is) you should see a configuration logon page for your router. The username and password will be in your users manual or just google it. From here go into the DHCP server screens and you should be able to see what IP numbers have been assigned on your network. Hopefully one of them will be your new device. Also you need to make sure that you only ever have one DHCP server on your network. PC's can also perform this function. If you have more than one running it will very dificlut to diagnose. If you see ip conflict errors this is probably the cause.

Netowrking is complex and there is lots you need to know all at once. Luckily home networks are relatively simple once you know what all the pieces are. This should give you a taste of what you need to learn about.

Good luck :)

My first guess is that your Dlink ADSL modem is really a modem router, so you are getting double routing. Sometimes this works just fine, though, so I'm not confident that's the whole explanation.
You'll need to setup your IP plan carefully
set the D-Link modem(router?) to bridging mode & the DLink wireless router does the login to Exetel.
DLink wireless router WAN side: DHCP + login to Exetel
DLink wireless router LAN side: 192.168.0.1
Subnet 255.255.255.0
DHCP on: range 192.168.0.10 to .20
DNS Servers: 220.233.0.3, 220.233.0.4
with PC's wireless adaptor set to DHCP
so picks up eg:
IP address: 192.168.0.10
Gateway address: 192.168.0.1
DNS Servers: 220.233.0.3, 220.233.0.4

Your wireless card is dead, replace.

The "Virtual Server" setting is designed to give the general public access to a network resrouce (web/ftp/media server) on your internal network. If your the VPN concentrator is external to your network (meaning you'll have to use the internet to connect to it), then you won't need to define a virtual server on the DI-624.

You'll just need to enable the IPSEC and PPTP VPN Passthrough which it sounds like you've already done this. I've run into some ISP's that block VPN connections out of their network. If you have the ability, try to directly connect your laptop into your cable/DSL modem in place of your router and see if you can make a VPN connection, if not contact your ISP, if you can then verify you enabled the VPN passthroughs because your router is blocking them.

GIve it a shot and let us know your results.

Does your computer connect to the Internet okay at other wireless locations? Make sure you have the latest drivers in your laptop for the wireless network adapter. You should also verify that you have the latest Windows updates installed.

Is your computer sometimes used in a business network?? If so, make sure the "use proxy" setting has been disabled in your browser when using the dlink router.

Check the D-link website at http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=565&sec=0#firmware to verify that you are using the latest version of firmware on your router. If it has any known problems, a firmware upgrade could fix it.

Let me know if you need more details on any of these points. Hope this helps!
