Can't Connect to Internet

Additional information for previous message. I am using a ComPaq desk top
computer,ME upgraded to Home XP,Wireless-G PCI Adapter,Wireless-G Access
Point. Both Linksys. When I start up my computer I have to manually connect
to the Access point. When I do I get the following message,"You are
connected to the access point,but the internet can not be found." I get the
same message whether I am using ME or XP Home. I even formatted the computer
thinking that might help. I am able to connect with no problems using my
Apple lap top. I am no computer wiz so I have no idea where I might look for
the problem. Thanks.

run command, do an ipconfig/all and see what your IP addres + Default
Gateway are...

try pinging www.google.com

I typed in Run,"ipconfig/all" and got the reply that "Windows cannot find".
Did a search and no such file was found. I don't know how to "ping"
www.google.com.

Which version of Windows?

Windows 95 - winipcfg
Windows 98 - winipcfg or ipconfig
Windows NT/2000/XP - ipconfig

David.

I am working in Windows ME. I typed in winipcfg and got the following
information:
ICSHARE Adapter
Adapter address OO-OC-41-65-5E-A3
IP Address 192.168.1.103
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1

I don't know if the problem shows in this information or not but I just
realised the I don't know how to change an address...oh well,first things
first...Dave Sharpes

Go into the AP setup pages and check AP's default gateway - should be the
modem's IP...

For 'ping'...

at Run type command/OK
in 'DOS' window type ping 192.168.1.1
