My apartment has ethernet access through Netrisen, and I have internet connection when I plug my ethernet cable directly from my laptop into the wall. I initially had to enter a username and password when I first plugged my laptop to the wall, but it hasn't asked for them since. When I plug in the router and run through the set up wizard, I have no internet connection. I've tried both wireless and plugging an ethernet cord from the laptop to the router. The router is set to PPPoE with the username and password, but it just says connecting. Please help. Thanks.
Lost internet connection morning of 1/15/08 through router and directly through laptop 1. But, can get internet connection directly for laptop 2 and laptop 3! Cannot get a valid IP address anymore when laptop 1 is directly connected. Also, I discovered ping works for any lettered website even when the router is not connected to the wall, but correctly times out for a numbered website (eg 216.31.156.10). Completely stumped. Please help!
-Connect your router to the wall and connect your laptop to the router using a cable.
-Use Internet Explorer and type the following line in the address bar: http://192.168.0.1
-You should see a Username and Password Screen...type admin for the username and leave the password blank, unless of course you did give it a password.
-Next you should see the D-Link setup page with tabs across the top that say Home - Advanced-Tools-Status-Help
-Click on the WAN button on the left side of the screen
-Now you should see the WAN Settings Screen
-Click on "Dynamic IP Address" (You should not use PPPoE)
-Click on the Apply button at the bottom of the screen.
-Now close your browswer and restart your computer.
-You should now be able to access the Internet...through the router cable and wireless
-Let me know if you need more help with any of these steps.
-Good luck...and I hope this helps!!

Hi networkmagic,
I followed your steps but it didn't solve the issue.
The internet randomly started working this morning through the router, and randomly stopped working this afternoon!
Apparently I can wirelessly ping out to google and other sites, so it seems like a router issue.
I was trying to retrace my steps this morning to figure out why the router worked then, and I discovered I had to ping netrisen.com through the router before I could get internet. I have no idea why this is. It's working, for now.
Lost internet connection again, through both router and laptop 1. But, laptop 2 and laptop 3 get internet when I directly connect them to the wall! Laptop 1 will not get a valid IP address, gets 169. Also unplugged router from wall but left power source on, and it incorrectly pings any lettered website (eg netrisen.com) but correctly times out for numbered website (eg 216.31.156.10). I'm completely stumped. Please help!
I have just installed a new D-Link router. All connections seem okay but I don't have internet connection on the laptop.
