Default Conecting a Laptop to Linksys wag54g


I have a desktop connected to the Internet through a linksys wag54g
ADSL gateway. No problem there everything works great.

I also have a a laptop with a wireless notebook adapter
cabel and wireless 802.11g 2.4 ghz OFDM. I get an excellent signal
all the time

The laptop is able to connect to the Linksys but is not able to access
the Internet. it some times disconnects after a few minuets, or I get
a message saying limited connectivity. looking at my gateways setup
shows the laptop connected to the gateway.

Can some one please explain in simple terms why I'm having this
connection problem, can some one point me to a web site with simple
setup instructions, I tried goggle but cannot locate anything to help.

Sounds like you've got some serious wireless interference (e.g., cordless
phone on the same band, Bluetooth). Try different primary wireless channels
(1, 6, 11) in the wireless gateway. And/or try to find and eliminate the
source of the wireless interference.

Yep I tried that but I think the signal and quality are ok, There are
no other wireless devices interfering as far as I can tell.

Do you have any Firewall software installed on the laptop such as Norton
Internet Security? If so you may need to configure it properly to be able to
access the internet. Sometimes it automatically sets itself up and sometimes
it doesn't.

If you do have Norton open up the firewall settings normally by double
clicking the icon on the bottom right hand corner by the clock then go into
firewall, configure, networking then run the wizard to recognise the network
and allow connections.
