This problem is really frustrating me. ok, i bought Buffalo Nfiniti(WZR2-G300N) wireless router yesterday and bought buffalo nfinti "N" USB adapter yesteday with the router and then i connected everything like in the manuals and in the windows wireless connections, it says i'm connected to (SSID#) (my router) but when i open up a webpage, it says Http 500 server error on IE and DnsError in firefox. i typing this through one of my friends' connections but i am not able to connect through my Buffalo router. I tried all the resseting and all that stuff.

this is the ipconfig when connected through the router [but cant connect to internet]

Hi there and welcome to PCHF, if you go into Internet Explorer, and vlivk on Tools, then Internet Options, then click on LAN Settings, make sure the "Automatically Detect Settings box is ticked. Ok your way out, then close and re open Internet Explorer.

Hello Halofreak Welcome to PCHF

If Madgamer's advice doesn't work, you may want to contact your internet service provider and/or Buffalo to make sure there aren't any specific settings that you have to use in order to get internet access.

Some internet service providers just use all the automatic settings. However, with some, you have to put a user name and password and other such options when you set up your router.

It seems that your network card is connecting to your router and assigning you an IP address, which is a good sign. The one thing I did notice is the IP address for the default gateway, DHCP server, and DNS server is 192.168.11.1. The usual address for those is 192.168.1.1. Did you manually enter that address in? Is that the address you have you use when logging into your router to make changes? Try pinging 192.168.1.1.

We will see from there Welcome again.

i pinged 192.168.1.1 and this is what i got

i contacted the tech support and they were no help. they did something with the mac address and and the webpages came for a while but after i restarted, they went away. . i did not change any address manualy except for the mac address which the buffalo guyz told me to

That seems strange. I really can't put my finger on that problem. Your router is assigning your computer an IP address but you can't ping your router. You even got webpages to load but only until you rebooted...

I have a feeling your network card or router may be defective. But honestly, that is just a guess. The details just don't make sense.

Try pinging 127.0.0.1. That will at least test if your network card is functioning. Which I can't imagine it isn't.

I'll have to think about this a bit more.
