limited or no connectivity

[koder]

Mike,

It is not clear what you can and can't get going. 

How many of the troubleshooting steps are you able to get through before
failure?
You said you can't connect to Linksys from laptop.
Can you connect to the router from other PCs?
Can you PING 127.0.0.1?
If you connect laptop using wired connection can you ping or log onto
Linksys main page?
You will have to do that so you can determine what it is set for and
troubleshoot it if needed.

Does the Linksys have encryption set up, if not why not?

How did you determine you have a strong signal?

Hope that is a start.

Harold

Say what? I stuck the disk that came with router in and couldn't find
anything of note. I guess I'll look again..... or am I chasing my big
long tail?
