Hi there, i have just bought a new router (phillips 11g true turbo base
unit). I am very new to wireless internet and am pretty much self taught
with anything to do with computers... Anyways i have established a
connection between my wifi notebook and router (my laptop uses a ralink
rt2500 wireless lan card, not sure if thats relevant). It states that my
status is excellent. However i still cannot connect to the internet. I
wouldn't normally have a clue why except when i tried to sign into msn
messenger it allows you to troubleshoot why you cannot connect. When i do
this it says its because my default gateway appears offline?? When i am
connected to my router via the ethernet cable i can login to my router and
it appears that everything is enabled and and all addresses (for example,
WAN IP, IP address, primary and secondary dns) seem present.. I really
would like to know what i am doing wrong and hoping that it is something
really simple. As i said i am very new to this so any help would be very
much appreciated. Thanks, Charlie.
