What is the moble network when u can call all the networks?

Cant connect to the wireless network....DHCP reserve? maybe?

  • ok so heres the deal, Im staying at my fathers for the weekend to take care of the animals while he's out of town. well long story short, I just sold my car, so at the moment i dont have the ability to drive anywhere else for internet, and i NEED internet for work. well I found out the hidden networks name, so i set up my computer with the network name and password. It can find the network and says its full connection, however it cannot connect. i vaguely remember him mentioning something before about having it setup that only computers he allows can get on the internet. I cant call him up and ask him for help on this, he has no phone signal where hes at. Well i need an answer quick so please help me, and dumb it down for someone whos not good with network settings. first off the router is a D-Link DIR-625 secondly i know the password to get into the router (192.168.0.1) so i can connect with another computer. But as far as MY laptop is concerned (windows 7 btw) even if i connect to the Ethernet cable i cannot connect to the internet. i've tried resetting the router, and as i said i tested the password to make sure its right. I did notice there are other computers in the house. when i go into the router settings it originally said number of dynamic DHCP clients: 3 and had 3 computers with mac addresses listed. (for some reason thats showing up as 0 now...while i was messing with the settings i hope i didnt screw anything up, he's a real easy guy to piss off, my father :/ ) im not sure if that has anything to do with why i cannot get online or not. I do vaguely remember my father mentioning something about having to allow computers on the network or something. So any help would be greatly appreciated please.. I really got to get this thing fixed fast too, i really need to get on the net (im distracted trying to figure stuff out so i know i repeated myself a couple times. The computer im borrowing is a pain in the *** to use <_< and slow)

  • Answer:

    If you can log into the router from another computer, then you can change the wireless key used into something else and you can verify if there is a MAC address filter in place and if so, disable it.

If you don't want to change any of the settings on the router and don't mind not having wireless, unplug the router from the modem, and plug your laptop directly into the modem (if this is your dad's setup). If it is a modem/router combo, then you will have to change the settings as the other poster said.
