i figure theres a few people here that know about these wonderful frustrating machines

 

so heres the prob :i have a laptop set up on a wireless router (d link) i was online and closed the laptop for a minute and when i reopened it it kept bringing up page not found

 

my pc is hard wired to the router and working fine

 

the laptop says it is conected with good strengh

 

ive shut down the connections and restarted them

 

ive turned of both the modem and router and then restarted them modem first:confused:

Repeat after me, "Computers are Evil" !

No, No computers are GOOD.

 

How else could we communicate over this fine forum? How else could I or u get such quick and valuable info?

 

Now repeat after me - computers are GOOD! computers are GOOD. ;-)

 

Are computers frustrating? Well......

 

On a serious note Disperse. When u closed the laptop u probably killed the wireless internet connection and your ISP may have a time out period before u can log back on again. Some have 15 minutes. So it looks like u are connected but aren't.

 

I presume u are using Windoze and IE (internet Explorer). If it happens again just try clearing the cache in IE, reboot and try and log on again to the net. If that doesn't work then it could well be a lock out time is in effect.

 

Hope that helps.

A common problem if the router is not set up right. Try this one:

 

Step 1 Log into the web configuration of the router by opening up a web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).

 

-Log into to router configuration > Click WAN > Select dynamic IP > enable auto-reconnect > APPLY

 

-Status... CONNECTED

 

ALSO, try RESTORE MAC ADDRESS (if not working). Apply all these settings and you should be fine. Let me know.

I think closer to 500K for that one. A syndicate? You in too? I think I will keep dreaming that's all...nothing wrong with that
