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.

can't connect to google via Linksys wireless router

Asked by ebarrouk in Broadband Internet

Tags: connect, google, linksys, wireless

I have a wacko problem that no one can figure out.

I have cable internet. Works fine if I plug a single computer to it. I bought a Linksys Router WRT300N model. It does 802.11 b,g, and Draft N. Anyhow, I am not using the N part b/c I don't have any N wireless nics.

I have 3 computers. Desktop 1 is a XP SP2 desktop using a linksys wireless PCI nic. It sees the network fine, and I can connect using the WPA key, but the NIC never gets assigned an IP address. However, if I manually put in an IP address, gateway, and DNS servers, it works fine, except that I can't connect to a few websites including Google. most other sites connect fine.

The 2nd computer is a new dell laptop with XP sp2 with an internal wireless NIC. The NIC gets an IP address fine and connects to most sites, but still no Google. Windows firewall is off but still no google. I have even flushed the DNS to no avail.

The 3rd computer is a new dell laptop exactly like #2 with an internal wireless NIC. It gets Google and everything else fine.

All is well if I plug the any of the computers via patch cables into one of the 4 ports. They get Google fine that way.

Anyone every come across this problem or can suggest anything to try? I can't find any config differences between the 2 laptops that might allow one to get to google and one not to.
