browsers ignore wireless connection! HELP! - 02/28/06 02:02 AM
I know this isn't a game question, but you guys are so smart, I'm hoping that you can help me figure this out.
I'm trying to go Netgear router wireless with my
DirecWay Satellite internet modem and that
part is fine.
I'm using WinXP on two laptops and MacOS 10.4
on another with Internet Explorer and Firefox
on all of them.
Made the connection for the
wireless router on all 3 laptops fine.
But . . . now, NONE of the browsers will find the wireless
connection and insist on trying to dial up while the wireless
is connected!
Gotta be some network connection setting that I can't find/figure out.
I selected auto-detect and tried turning it on and off.
Thanx in advance for any advice offered. I'm clueless
at this point and glad that at least they all connect ok
with the Ethernet line. BUT I'd really like to go wireless!
