| | Laptop with Vista can't connect to wireless router? Before I moved to my new apartment, my set-up was as follows: Cable modem -> Vonage device (built in router) - > Wireless router -> PC and laptop. Everything worked fine. After I moved I changed it to: Cable modem -> Wireless router -> Vonage device (built in router), PC and laptop. Vonage device and laptop were not able to get online so I had to switch back to my old set up. Everything works fine except my laptop. The error message that I get when I click on "Diagnose problem" is that either the DNS server is down (cannot ping www.microsoft.com) or that it pinged the DNS server but no response. I'll get a "no response" error message when the DNS server is set to 192.168.15.1 which is the IP scheme for the Vonage device. I have DHCP set-up but I still manually changed the DNS server to 192.168.0.1 (wireless router scheme) and thats when I get the "DNS server is down error". Why would the DNS be set to 192.168.15.1 when the IP and gateway are 192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.0.1? I already reset both the Vonage device and wireless router (reconfigured both, had to be on the phone with Vonage to get the Vonage device reconfigured), ipconfig /flushdns, disabled IPv6, checked hosts file, nothing works. What can I do? Whats going on? Thanks!! PS. Laptop can't connect to internet even if I plug in an ethernet cable and it CAN connect to the internet just fine using my neighbor's wireless network. |
