Hi,

I've just bought a Belkin 54g wireless router off ebay (needless to say with
no instructions), I thought this would be easy but...............

I have plugged everything into my modem ok and my laptop finds and connects
to the wireless connection, but when I try to open the internet (I use
firefox) it say

"page cannot be displayed"

as if i'm offline


ANY help will be MUCH appreciated

Thank you so much in advance

Hi
Depending on your type on Internet connection, it might be an authentication

It's useful if you can access the routers configuration, it's probably
as configured by the previous owner.
The previous owner may have had problems.
Search on Google and Belkin website for a downloadable PDF
manual.
Start ->Run -> ipconfig -all > C:\ipconfig.txt
Then open ipconfig.txt with notepad and report here.
The > in the command means write result of command to a
file.
Getting it working may be a step at a time process.
Like are you using WZC to setup the connection, can you
ping the router, can you access the routers config. menu
etc?
Laptop finds and connects is a good sign assuming
it's found and connected to your router.

When in doubt, read the instructions. When no instructions are
supplied, check the manufacturer's web site. If you had identified
which Belkin router you bought, we could have directed you to the
manual, but just go to http://www.belkin.com/ and enter the model number
in the product search box. The manual for Belkin's current 54g router,
the F5D7230-4, is here:

(click the little Adobe icon to download).

open a command line

help you more
