Hi Dimple,
If you are able to access internet when router is connected to Modem and computer is connected to router using wire then it is issue with wireless connectivity. If that is the case i would suggest first remove the security encryption thing and try making the wireless connection from Router. I had similar issue where the laptop would connect to internet and work fine if no security and the moment i put security on it will not work. Finally i have to install a patch on XP to make it work. Let me know if you need any further help.

Thanks

Manoj

Is your Router hardwired to the Modem?
The wireless connection is only between the Router and the Computer. The connection netween the Modem and the Router is wired.

Experts, please correct me if I am wrong.

Good luck.

Router is hardwired to modem. Computer and router are wireless. So, you are correct

At Prompt Type nslookup & Hit Enter
You probably will get

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds

At 'nslookup' prompt type server 4.2.2.2 & Hit Enter
> server 4.2.2.2

If your Internet Connection is alive then you;ll get

Default Server: vnsc-bak.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.2

otherwise same error DNS request timed out

Ok thank you. I will try and let you know of the outcome.

All:

My wireless is working !!!

It was a very minor issue. I tried WPA security instead of the WEP security and it worked. Apparently, my computer(s) are not compatible with WEP enabled security or I simply goofed up when I set the hexadecimal key phrase.

Anyway, it works and many many thanks to all of you for all the help.
