This is pretty confusing .. but will try my best.. The place I work at - uses satellite for their internet connection. In one office ( call it office 1)- is the main modem. There is a PC in that office - with a wireless network adaptor. This pc is working properly and can get a net connection..

In the office next door ( another building right next to the main one , will call office 2) ....there is also a pc - with a wireless network adaptor plugged in to a usb port in the back of it.
There is also a router ( linksys )in office 2 - which I am not sure why we even have in there - as nothing was ever plugged into the back of it but for the power adaptor - yet we still got the internet .

One day , out of nowhere , we were unable to get a net connection in "office 2". The message we get now - is that the wireless connection is connected - status strength excellent - yet - we cannot get the net persay ( ie) Internet explorer - says page cannot be found)... I get the same message on my own laptop - as I do on the actual office 2 pc. It is DHCP ( not static ) - if that helps you.

Any ideas for trouble shooting? I have called linksys - and they were not understanding my English ( apparently) because they were of no help at all. I have called the ISP that my work goes through - and they too have been no help.

At wits end !

However. I would firstly check that the Office 2 is connecting to the correct network. Someone else may of set up another network and it has started connecting to that instead.

Only the truly stupid believe they know everything.
