Connected, but not connected!

[nishisakawa]

Hope someone can help me with this one.

I have a Thomson ST585 (v6) wireless router. It shows as being available when I open 'View available network connections'. When I click on it the connecting animation plays. However, afterwards the display next the star says connected, while the main message in the box says my laptop is not connected! A red 'x' also remains on the wireless image in the taskbar.

Disable encryption on the router and try to connect. If successful you can re-enable encryption and reconnect. If unsuccessful please show ...

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:
(For Vista type CMD in the Search box after Start)

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.

I disabled encryption on the router, but that did not correct anything, so here is the info you asked for.

You are connected to a wired connection on that machine. The wireless is indeed disconnected.

I think one issue is it appears you have ICS enabled, you should turn that off.

Disabling Internet Connection Sharing

Also, ipv6 isn't helping you and could be hurting, so ...

Start - Run - ipv6 uninstall - OK
