DNS...feel like I should but not sure what that means....ping, it wont find any connection, how could i ping without a connection?

Firewall settings? Just a guess.

Maybe your neighbor can come over and look at it. Is it showing connected to local only? What address is it trying to get to, what home page?
-
I think she uses msn as home page... It says its connected to his network...I talked to him, he is not sure why it wont connect, In "control panel" internet settings it sees the wireless....I disabled my ethernet connection.......thanx for replies.

If your running a firewall - turn it off to see if that makes any difference. Failing that, check that your antivirus isnt blocking it too (had to sort a clients computer, which had a failed av install blocking his browser).
You can also go start, run, type in cmd and open a cmd line interface window. Type in ping and a url (dont matter which one). If that pings, your connected to the net. To double check that, keep the cli window open, type in tracert + url (ie, tracert www.bbc.co.uk)
Suggest checking your av/firewall settings initially tho.

Also, try going into your browser tools and check that its not trying to go through a proxy.

Access your friends router as admin and give your machines MAC address specific permission. You can discover your MAC address by opening a CMD window and using the IPCONFIG command. Activate the MAC filter of your friends router and then add your MAC address to the MAC Address Filter List.
-
well I tried to ping Ah servers...says..destination net unreachable..
-
what os are you running?
make sure you their router is set to DHCP and then go into your wireless properties under IP v4 and make sure they are set to IP and DNS to automatically recieve.
if you do a IPCONFIG what does it tell you? please type it for us. IPCONFIG will give us alot of info.
-
IP config, Ethernet adapter internet : ip address.......192.168.1.10 subnet mask 255.255.255.0.......... wow typing this out on phone lol it says ethernet adapter, strange i wonder if this is a clue? my OS is XP with sp3
-
Open your web browser and access 192.168.1.1... Login will be User name (leave it blank) and password "admin". If that gets you into the router setup then click on the header where it says "Wireless" and then select "Wireless MAC Filter." Make sure MAC Filter is ENABLED and that the Restriction Type is set to PERMIT and then add your MAC address as the MAC 1 under MAC Address Filter List.
At the bottom of the page click "Save Settings" and it will take about 30 seconds for the router to reboot (if it has to).
You should then be able to access the web.
If this doesnt help then you will need the Router Setup manual for the specific router.
To find your MAC Address use the "ipconfig /all" command and it will be listed as "Physical Address."
EDIT: CHANGE THE PASSWORD!
Within wireless range of my house there are still three routers that I can access because they are still on default settings.
-
Plus, if you can get onto the wireless router, and your using a wireless connection - encrypt it, but please do not use wep (its cack). Use wpa2/wpa-psk. If you use psk, you can specify your own password etc. Much better than wep, but can still be broken eventually.

so your IP is 192.168.1.10 submask 255.255.255.0
whats the gateway and DNS.
-
Usually you would point at the router as the Gateway and DNS server but as far as the DNS server goes you should also use something like OpenDNS. I would go ahead and set yourself up with a static IP address if you are using the system for AH and then you can also use port range forwarding for aceshigh.exe of both TCP and UDP. I think the range for AH is ports 2000-6000 but you can double check in the stickies at the top of this forum. If you do that you are less likely to lose connection but wireless is not the way to go if you want to stay connected.

I did pretty much everything suggested so far, Challenge I tried to get into 192.168.1.1. it asks for a user name and password, no matter what i put in it wont let me in. when i do the ipconfig it lists an ethernet adapter, no wireless, but my ethernet is turned off.......seriously guys thanks for the help
-
Username should be left blank and the password should be admin (IF its a Linksys unless its been changed already). It would be alot easier with the model number of the router too.
Your wireless could have the MAC address listed right on it with a sticker or something.

Guy came over today his router craped out :furious
