my Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router is pissing me off. The computer saids that they are connected but i cant access the interenet. It saids "page cannot be displayed" and when i check my connections its saids its fire walled and i cant figure out how to disable it. None of my wireless computers are working either

i had the problem a while ago but i resetted and it worked for a week and then it broke again. im sick of resetting it

Does anyone know whats wrong, i need help, thanks

What is it connected to on the WAN side?

Type the following command in command prompt on those computers, then check that it displays correct IP, netmask, gateway and also DNS info.

ipconfig /all

If the displayed info is correct, then try to ping the gateway IP. Also disable the windows firewall or antivirus firewall on the computers temporary till you solve the problem.. .

Hope helps..

DD-WRT is one of the several 3rd party firmware programs for popular routers such as the wrt54g series. It gives you some added functionality, more stability, a little more performance...over stock Linksys firmware.

I believe that just means that windows firewall is enabled. You can turn it off in control panel or under the advanced tab in your network connection properties.

Can you log into the routers status page?

You can also ask the ISP to give you MPLS so your router won't have to dial to your ISP, thus resolving your problem. I know.... I had the same problem with a WRT300N, called my ISP told them i wanted MPLS, 2 days after the internet worked great.
