Help: 9500 WLAN not connecting / resolving to external network

[kanwaloswa]

HI Guys,

I got a new 9500 and tried to connect it to my home wifi network running with lynksys hardware..

1. Lynksys network is being detected by my 9500..

2. I setup an access point for this wifi network, i set up my 9500 with a static IP 192.168.0.122 and DNS settings exactly the same as on my laptop. My linksys wifi router address is 192.168.0.1

3. I am able to connect to the router admin web-application by typing http://192.168.0.1 on the 9500 web browser, but cant browse the internet.. When I type www.yahoo.com, it just says downloading but nothing happens. I have the SAME settings on my laptop and it works

4. I even tried DHCP, I am able to get the IP address for my 9500 correctly, Can connect to the internal network (router admin app) but cant connect to any external site..

5. I have also tried setting 192.168.0.1 (router) as my primary DNS and an external DNS server as secondary. I have tried various ipv6 settings DHCP and well known but NO change.. I can connect to any machine in the network and my router but my 9500 cannot connect to an internet site.. I have even tried adhoc WLAN connection and same result

PLEASE HELP!! is there any setting i am missing, is it to do with Ipv6 DNS settings..?? I do not want to use connection sharing and want to browse from my 9500 independently..

Thanks in advance..

1. Gateway is set to 192.168.0.1 on 9500?
2. Network mask is 255.255.255.0 on 9500?
3. No MAC address filter on router?

Hi Hashmap, thanks for ur reply,

1. Yes, Gateway is 192.168.0.1 on 9500 (linksys router's IP)
2. Yes, Network mask is 255.255.255.0 on 9500
3. ??? No MAC address filter on router, WILL have to check this one out and reply later...

Its strange, cos I am able to connect to the WLAN network and view the linksys admin console by typing http://192.168.0.1 on my 9500 browser

I had exactly the same problem, was annoying me for ages. I was using the same DNS server addresses as provided by my cable provider in the UK (ntl), and I got the same results as you....NOTHING!

Then, on the 9500 I changed the DNS addresses and used, say BT's, and hey presto!

Try it, use a different set of DNS servers on the 9500.

Thanks buddy,

I tried using another set of DNS servers, but that didnt work either.. im able to browse the internet only by IP addresses..

im gonna try a few more DNS addresses, do u have any that work for you..???

thanks..

Well, I use the same DNS servers used in my laptop, and gave the 9500 an IP in the same network. It works perfectly now. Without any changes.

Do you have any kind of proxies?
