Got a wired/wireless router problem, help anyone? Just got my internet set up at my new(ish) place today. I've got a desktop with no wireless adapter, and a laptop with a wireless adapter. I have my wireless router set up with the modem and I can connect to it wirelessly with my laptop, but for some reason I cannot connect to my wireless router, through a wire with my desktop. It has 4 wired ports and I've tried them all. I can connect to the connection and everything but it won't connect to the internet through it; just says I'm connected with no internet access even though at the same time I can be connected to the internet through my laptop, wirelessly. Any ideas? I'm at a loss.
I did restore to factory which seemed to have no effect whatsoever. Another weird thing I forgot to mention is that I have a shared network set up between my laptop and desktop. So if I have the router connected to my desktop with a wire, I can stream videos or any file to my laptop wirelessly without a problem, even though I cannot access the router setup through a wired connection.
Also, even though it on my desktop when I connect the wire my computer detects that it's connected to something, I cannot access the router menu through wired, only through wireless on my laptop.
I am running windows 7 on both computers.
Any help is much appreciated.
