Okay then! Thank you very much snow! Hopefully they can fix it fast.

I'm at work right now, but I can pretty much tell you what everything said. On my laptop it said: Bowman's Laptop ----------------- Router (LINKSYS) --------X-------- Internet So, I'm guessing that means that my computer is connecting to the router, but the router can't connect to the internet, or something to that extent. If I were to re-set the router, then should it have deleted my WEP code? Cause when I tried looking for a connection (after I had re-set it), it still asked me for a WEP code.

I have not tried this. What would I have to do? I guess I shouldn't have said "re-set". All I did was hit the little button on the far left hand side. I had to do this when I was hooking up my 360 and my mom's Wii. I figured I had to do the same when it came to hooking up my laptop. What exactly is an SSID? I did use a WEP code and I have it written down in one of my computer notebooks.

The model of the router is "WRT54G".

Thank you JB! I have already been scouting around trying to learn something new. I even already made my own thread, not this one of course. I have always wanted to be computer-able and what better time than now? Hopefully we will see each other around on the forum.

Let's see if I can make sense out of all this. Awhile back, we moved into my mom's new house. There, I set up all the computers and the wireless internet. The router, which is a Linksys, is upstairs. The router is connected to the computer and is also connected to our modem. The modem then plugs into the wall. The computer downstairs runs off of one of those wireless chips. The chip is also a Linksys. Everything has been working fine until two days ago. We went to get on the internet and it says that we aren't connected to the internet. We look upstairs and the little light that is suppose to be on is off. The light is labled "Link" if that is important. Anyway, my dad called up Comcast to see if they could do anything. They said the problem could take from 24-72 hours to fix. We went out for a little bit so I could buy a new laptop. When we came back to a working internet connection. Now, I got excited thinking that I could finally connect to the internet with my new laptop! Too bad I really messed up. I couldn't connect to the internet with my laptop. It has a built in Wi-Fi chip or something... I went upstairs to see if I was too far away. When I got up, it still wouldn't connect. The other computers worked, so why wouldn't this one. I decided to reset the router by pushing the button on the far left hand side, i'm not sure what it is called. Since I have done that, now none of the computers don't work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ tl;dr version: I have 3 computers. Each one connects to our router. The router connects to the modem, but the modem cannot get to the internet. I have no idea what is going on and I need your help.

Hello Forum! I just wanted to drop in and say hello. I was referred here by google trying to figure out a problem with my computer. Hopefully someone here can help me out here. :D Anyway, I haven't been working with computers too long. I know how to do some basic stuff. I'm really here to just ask questions and hopefully learn a thing or two about computers. Hopefully i'll be here awhile and won't forget about this place. In fact, I think i'll put it in my favorites right now. -Bowman
