I have a wireless network in my home and I just put W2k
Professional on one of my machines. the wireless card
connects to the router but it doesn't acknowledge or see
my network. I've tried Enabling and disableing the DHCP
and nothing works. I time out on Pinging my gateway. I
even went in and cleaned the registry of the TCP/ip and
reinstalled it. When I goto the CMD prompt and lok at my
ipconfig /all it says that ip routing is not enabled.
Don't know how to change this or if this is even my
problem. Anyone have any ideas. The other computer on
the network works fine and it's an XP machine. I had
98ME on the machine before I loaded 2000 and everthing
worked fine. Hope you can help.
 
Check the HCL for the wirelss adapter
Check Wireless NIC mfg for driver or firmware update
Try to ping localhost<<That verifies the stack is okay
 
I've tried Pinging the local host and get no response. I
did notice that the Node mode is set to Broadcast instead
of mixed. My xp machine is set to mixed and works good.

Click to expand...

1) PING 127.0.0.1 If it repplys, TCPIP is well installed.
2) IPCONFIG /all Make sure the address you see belongs to
the same network of the router & other machines. Check
Netmask
3) make sure you do not have a default Microsoft ip
address
4)Try to hardcode on the TCP/IP properties of your
network card a valid ip adress, the gateway address, the
netmask and the DNS address. Ping before the addres you
choose to make shure is not in use.
5) Check also encription level betwen your Wireless card
and the router.
You should be able now to the internet
