Hi,

My brother has asked me to try and connect his wireless belkin card to are Sky Netgear Router. Every time i go through the Belkin program and i select the Network and then it asks me for the network key. I try putting in the key but its heximal keys not passphrase so it wont exept certain letters. So i tried going into profiles and creating one for the network which allowed me to choose passphase and type the network key in. After i have entered all the correct information and connect to the internet i try a web page (serveral ones) and it says page cannot be displayed. I have also tried 192.168.0.1 and that doesnt work eiter so im kind of stuck.

Please help, would be greatful,

When it "connects", do the following:
Start > Run, type "cmd", click ok
In the command prompt type "ipconfig /all", under the wireless adapter check that you are getting an address in the correct subnet (i.e. in the 192.168.0.1 / 255.255.255.0 [I believe this is the default mask] range).

If not check to see if there are any static IPs set on the interface.

If there aren't, then reboot the router (yank out the power cable, wait a few seconds and then try again). Occasionally the DG834G's (which I believe Sky are using) get "stuck" on certain firmware revisions.

Ok thanks ill give it ago

To me sounds like the router and the card think they are using different kinds of security. There are two types, one uses hex codes the other a pass phrase.

Check your security settings.
