unusual problem, or is it just my big fingers?
      Thu Dec 20 2007 03:55 PM

Ok i have a lynksis WAG54GS rireless residential gateway which has got a PC connected via a LAN cable and a laptop which connects wirelessly, these have been running quite happily together for a few years now wihout problems, until last thursday!!

my laptop (which i am currently using) connects without any difficulty and can access my pc via my home network.....no probs there, however my PC has now decided that it will no longer connect to the internet OR the gateway setup (192.168.1.1)it did download emails for a period of roughly 24hrs when it wasnt connecting to webpages but now all it does is sit there and laugh at my attempts to get online.

Ive repaired the lan connection (dns wouldnt flush initially) but got that sorted not sure where to go from here, the other things ive sussed out are that i CAN ping an internet address (ie: www.google.com) and can ping the gateway but cant access the gateway setup screen and cannot access the internet, internet explorer diagnoses that i need to redo my firewall to allow access BUT ive turned it OFF but it still wont connect, the gateway seems fine all settings are as they always have been, likewise my laptop and the PC seems ok too but i was away on thurs when it happened so somethings may have been changed without my knowledge but as far as I and my wife are concerned no-one has been tampering...... at my wits end someone PLEASE tell me how to fix it
