so I have wireless router and a laptop. so I want to acces
the internet. but that doesn't seem to work. IMy laptop gets
the signal and it says it's "excellent" but it doesn't get
an ip adress (from the router. can anyone possibly tell me
how I have to solve this?

using wep?
using mac inclusion lists?
using radius server?
802.1x??

is your yapyop connecting to YOUR wireless access point, or
possible another (neighbors with the same brand, same ssid)
that may be running mac inclusion

could be about a million things
start by making sure your router is configured as a DHCP
server. Make sure there are no other DHCP servers running on
your network. Check your laptop tcp/ip settings are set to
"obtain an IP automatically"
etc etc

if you aint have something really important on one of your
computers in your network, you can go with MAC-filtering
better then with WEP-keys.

use your recovery cd to reformat your router, it probably
has a corrupt activex server or invalid cos/tan lookup
tables. if that doesn't work, you might have stateful packet
correction turned on, and it could be interferring with your
IEEE 409.x authentication protocols. if that's the case,
just disable address translation, and pipe everything to
/dev/null.

is it one of those really shite BT ones? ive had problems
like that - if you turn the computer off and on again, while
leaving the router and modem switched on, you lose the
connection. its all down to the order you turn things on in.
wierd, but several other people I know have had the same
sort of crap.

mac filtering is NOT a replacement for WEP exnceyption.

if you are just running mac filtering and no web encrpytion,
it would take seconds to sniff wifi frames for a valid mac
address, and set mine accordingly.

it's a linksys router. but everything works fine now. I set
the wrong encription key on my laptop. so I couldn't
correctly acces the net. and the google save thing was a
proxy I setted incorrectly.

thanks for your and everyone else his help though :)

It's not a difficult question; I wasn't aware you were in
Cardiff, I thought you were in America. How long have you
been in Cardiff?
