  Setting Up an 802.11b Home Wireless Network

Maybe someone can help me. I have an Ethernet connection with my PC. I have two other computers on my network. I use a cable modem. I purchased two wireless PC cards and installed them. On the main computer, I use the cable modem and the router hooked directly to the computer. The router and cards are Linksys. They worked great for about a month. Then something screwy happened. I couldn't get on line with anything I had. I called the cable company and they suggested I exchange the modem. I did and still couldn't get n line. I called back and they suggested I contact the manufacturer. I called Dell and they came out and replace the motherboard with the LAN connection. Then my other tow computers can get on line and my main computer cannot. I get "this page cannot be displayed" message. I have checked connections, reset the modem, reset the router, etc. I contacted Linksys and waited and waited. No answer. i then sent an email and five days later I get a reply that told me how to reset the router. I think the main problem is I cannot get the correct IP address. If I let the IP address be obtained automatically, it comes up with the 169.000, whatever. If i put it in manually, I put in 192.168.1.100 and the subnet at 255.255.255.0. the other tow computers can get on linewith this number. When I run the internet connection wizard, I get to the page where it says choose your connection. It shows the dial up modem and my Broadcom adapter. if I click on the adapter it says it cannot complete the connection. I give up. I can certianly relate to the Wacky Pc's

I have taken the test haves passed. Therefore I am a+ certified. Usally you have to go to college to learn this stuff but it just comes naturally to me.

      Theres a few things u can check,
      one if your computer sees the Nic card try pinging your Nic card
      two Check in Device Manager to see if theirs a conflict with your Nic Card
      and Three is that the Interrupts match up on your NIC card and on your operating system, especially if your running Windows. Windows may tell u everything working properly but there could be a conflict without u knowing. let me know if this helped
