I have a Belkin Wireless Access Point connected to my exisisting Switch, I also have a belkin wireless network card. My computer has picked up the settings from the wireless access point but is not recieving anything from it, even though it is sending information to it.

I am puzzled has there is no security measures in place i.e. not keys etc? Any ideas anybody?

What Operating System, what computers etc..
The more you explain the more chance you have for a solution to be posted here.

By the way, I added to the title the specific problem you have, most people when they see "help please" would not respond, they would rather see what specific problem in the title.

All the machines are Windows XP Home, they are all configured to the same work group. You can access the Access Point from the computer that is physically connected to the Access Point via the switch. However you cannot access the access point from the machine with the wireless access point, even though you have recieved the settings. The Connection Icon at the bottom shows the machines to be sending data, however none is being recieved from the Access Point.

Just to note that i have re set the Access Point to its default factory seetings, this made little difference. This is my access point 802.11g Wireless Network Access Point and this is my card 802.11g Wireless Desktop Network Card.

Any ideas? If you need any more info i am happy to provide. Many Thanks

first ping the AP from via the wireless connection ... if you get a responce then you at least know they are on the same network ... If you are using DHCP (the AP assigns ip addresses to the clients) then on the wirless client computer at the dos prompt type in... ipconfig /all and look to see what the ip address is. If it is getting its ip from the AP then it should start with 192.168..... if it is not then windows assigns an ip address by defult which would start with 169.254....

Ijust posted this. Is it the same problem? Sounds like it...

I have a BT WLAN adapter in my Samsung V25 laptop and have bought a Belkin 802.11g adsl wireless router unit. I can't configure the router - I have connectivity between the laptop and the computer, but when I launch Internet Explorer, it cannot find the router's address. I can ping the address and get 100% response, but for some reason the browser cannot access the software on the router. Any ideas? I've spent nearly 2 days on this and been onto the Belkin support people 3 times. The first time they said the unit must be faulty, so I got another one, although I had actually managed to get the laptop to configure the router, but it wouldn't access the internet. Then when I set up my replacement unit it wouldn't access the router at all and that's the way it is now. I have removed Norton Utilities and disabled Norton Antivirus, as I thought it might be a scripting problem. I have a sneaky feeling it's something to do with the way my browser is set up, but I think I've tried everything. HELP!

sagebrush.. i found the solution for your trouble

I had the same problem than you. I spent three days doing too many things to access this web interface .

First of all, connect the router to your laptop with a rj45 cable. Then change your network card configurations (the card that is connected to the router through the cable). your ip must be 192.168.2.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.2.1 and dns 192.168.2.1. Then open your browser settings, disable "automatically detect settings" and disable any proxy configurations. Now open your browser and only type "192.168.2.1". If you have the same trouble than me, your problems should have an end.
