Why does my wireless say connected, but "no internet access"?
I got myself a wrt54g linksys router, i have verizon for broadband. i am trying to setup my wireless connection.
verizon set up their end, but then when the connected was established, it keeps saying "no internet access" they said it would be on linksys' end.

i called linksys, and they wont provide any support because it is no longer under warranty unless i pay a nominal fee.
but they did say the router would have to be reconfigured for my new connection.

verizon i know uses a bridged connection for wireless versus the routed bridge for dsl.

i do notice that it is not obtaining an ip address from the router. it shows it being 0.0.0.0 or something like that.

does anyone have any suggestions

Don't use wireless for broadcasting on flirt4free or other video/audio based sites unless you are sat 2 feet away from the wireless router. The plain truth is wireless is useless for high bandwidth applications and the main problem is as you have found out is it can cause connection errors due to you being too far from the router. Stick with a wired eithernet cable to the laptop while working on flirt4free or using high bandwidth applications. Wireless is not a good thing for such applications and same applies to the customers that are finding video lag or audio drop outs.

I would have to disagree with you , I use wireless throughout my house and never experience any issues with video or audio on the site , in fact I could have multiple windows open and all runs smoothly.

Sounds like your internet is cutting out. Keep in mind that when you see that your wireless is connected it does not mean that your internet is up, it just means the connection between your PC and the router is good. So check the link between your router and the modem, but most likely it's something outside your house that's causing your modem to drop the connection. You may need a tech to come take a look at your lines. Quote

ok, i have to say i disagree with the part being outside, it has to do with some sort of setting i need to change via the router, it needs tobe reconfigured. connections are great as far as internet going out etc. its not tdue to any wires or what not. its not going out and coming back in. its plain and simple with the linksys router itself, a simple something i need to change for it to all the internet. but beings that i did not want to pay linksys to tell me where to go and what boxes to check, there is just a little something off.

Have you tried releasing and renewing the current ip?
I must say, I have verizon dsl and get the drop out with my laptop all the time.
I continually have to go and release and renew the ip addy for it to work with the connection on my wireless.

I get the same problem connecting locally through a wired connection as well.

If you have a Lan cable, looks like a telephone jack but on steroids, try connecting that way to test.

Also remember that since it is dsl from verizon, you need the filters on each phone line you have in your house. That will prevent any interference in the signal and give you the "best" connection.
