The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Linksys wireless adapter communicating with access point but not with Internet

Asked by alicia1234 in Wireless Networking, Wireless Network Access Points, Wireless Network Cards & Adapters

Tags: linksys, access, internet, point, wireless

I have a wired network. I just installed a LinkSys Access Point ...installation appears to have gone ok. It is connected to my SOHO firewall/router. Then I installed a LinkSys Wireless network adapter in my notebook PC. The "signal" and "quality" status are both "very good". But it says "You are connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found." And indeed, I can't access the internet OR any of the other computers in my network.
The SSID and WEP settings match those of the AP. The SOHO box is configured to enable DHCP on my trusted network, with address range 192.168.111.100 to 192.168.111.105. The LinkSys AP is assigned 192.168.111.103 by the SOHO box, and I can access its settings just fine through that IP. BUT ... if I look at the settings for the adapter in my notebook, it has an IP address of 169.254.194.233 ... I have no idea how this is getting set. The tcp/ip properties are set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" ... so it should be getting an address from my SOHO box so that it's part of my trusted network ... I think ... but it isn't.
I'm very confused ... HELP!
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional; Norton Antivirus (but NOT Norton Internet Security). Important to note that for my "wired" network, all pc's are configured to just "assign an IP address automatically" and they all work just fine. And once again, the wireless pc can't see the internet OR my trusted (wired) network.
Thanks.
