Windows XP; how to access internet via wifi?
Hello!
I have a Windows XP laptop ( intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU 2Ghz ). The fact is that this laptop had Internet access via wifi in the Dlink router. But now I have a different router and I can't access the Internet.
"SYMPTOMS":
1) ping mail.ru or others does not work at all
2) although in Network Connection it is clearly visible that the Wireless network connection is connected
"WHAT I DID":
1) I went into the router menu and found out the ip address of the router and the main gateway.
2) in the properties of the Wireless network connection in the General tab, select TCP / IP and click on the properties button.
3) Then I registered the corresponding IP addresses in the appropriate fields
4) I chose DNS addresses 8.8.8.8 and additional 8.8.4.4
Still nothing happened, although it shows that the connection is established. But even the ping command does nothing.
Gentlemen, what's the problem here?
I will be glad if you help me at least a little move in the right direction.
Sincerely,
Almas

Well, in the wireless connection settings, specify get the address automatically and DNS automatically
to start with, pings and telnets from the router work by IP and dns names, and then watch what dhcp distributes, check over the wire, reset the router to 0, configure it with a new one, etc.
But now I have a different router and I can't access the Internet.
From the above, it does not follow that the router is correctly connected to the provider.
Is there internet on a wired connection?
In order to answer your question, you need to specify what specific addresses, netmasks, dns and gateways you have registered. How is the router configured, its address on the local network, WIFI type and encryption method (WPA, WPA2)?
I agree with previous commentators, Windows may well not understand the type of wi-fi encryption. For starters, you can try to connect without a key at all, to an open network.
