wireless and lan?

well that did not work on what you told me grinch and i am kinda lost on what don was saying..

try removing the default gateway from your wired connection.

well if i dont put one dhcp will... and also i added you to msn..

I thought your wired connection was manually entered?

Nope dont work. Still trying to use the lan connection as the defult connection

what is wear is that also msn still works but yahoo messenger and aim messenger and the internet will not work/

Here is my last suggestion and that is supplying a static route for your wireless NIC.

To do this open up a command prompt and type in the following command



No reboot is required.

Alternately you can install the Microsoft RIP Listener Service. You can install that by heading to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Select "Networking Services" > Details button > Check "RIP Listener "

What this does is, listens for route updates sent by routers that use the Routing Information Protocol version 1 (RIPv1). This will modify your routing table accordingly.

Good luck.

I'm saying that you should put everything on one LAN with your friends router as the default gateway. Then his DHCP will cover DNS as well. To do that, you need to install a wireless adapter in both your server and your workstation. Your router is no longer needed.

well if you wanna buy me one then ok.. I am just trying to work with what i got ....

Also grinch that thing that you told me to do did not work..

If you want to try to work with what you have, then I would change the IP on your router to 192.168.2.1
Disable DHCP. Set the IP on the server to 192.168.2.2
and the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
Disable DNS on the server.
Set the IP on the wired NIC of the workstation to 192.168.2.3
Leave all DNS entries blank on the wired NICs.
Leave the wireless setup the same as it was.
Disable all firewalls for testing.

Stupid question: Are your wired server and workstation both connected to your router using the LAN ports only? Nothing should be in the WAN port.



If that doesn't work, reconsider buying another wireless adapter and run everything off your friends router. It would be so much easier.

I'm out of ideas.

Another crazy idea is stop mooching internet off your buddy and get your own connection.

I'm totally at a loss and I'm kind of with Don2007 on this one.

The best way is to eliminate the second router. He has free internet and doesn't want to buy a second wireless adapter.
I'm still wondering if one of his machines is plugged in to the WAN port by mistake.

the router with 4 port switch is a linksys Model- befsr41

Yes, but there is a WAN port as well. It shouldn't be used in your case.

my computer and my server are connected through the lan.. nothing is pluged in the wan
