Why are my wireless computers working but my computer connected to the router isn’t? 4

bcsurfclub asked:


I have had a router installed for over two years and my two computers that are wireless work fine. The computer that is directly connected to the router will not enable me to connect to the internet. My internet service provider indicated it was due to my IP address. I’ve powered down my modem multiple times and still no luck. Also, the IP address starts with 169.254 which my internet provider says is the problem. FInally, I connected this computer directly to the modem and it still did not work, leading me to believe this is an IP address issue. Any suggestions?
Can you advise as to how I can check the modem to see if there are still any DHCP address left for it to hand out. Also, how to check if the DHCP server can hand out IP addresses to the wired computers, not just to the wireless computers. Thanks.

How do I make my printer work with my wireless computers? 8

ladybug asked:


We have 4 computers in our house. Three are currently wireless, one hardwired. We have one printer that is connected with wires to one of the wireless computers. Right now, we can only print using that one computer. So if we are working on one of the other computers, we have to save the file and email it to ourselves and go open it on the printing computer. How can I print from the other three computers? Is there a way to link it all now or do I need to go buy some more equipment for the printer? Or do only certain printers have these capabilities?

Can connecting another computer to my network influence the connections of the other computers? 4

Rick R asked:


I had two computers both connected to a wireless router. Yesterday I connected a third computer to the network and, although the connection goes through for this new computer, one of the original computers now says Limited or no connectivity and cannot connect to the Internet. Is it possible that the new computer is using up too much bandwidth and is therefore preventing the other computer from accessing the Internet?

How many computers can be connected to the Internet using a wireless router? 12

nebir asked:


I have a Comcast provided wireless router at home.
4 of us can surf the net with no problems. However a 5ht and a 6th computer cannot be used to connect to the Internet. Is there an upper limit on how many computers can talk to the Internet when one uses a wireless router? Or is there something we are doing that is not right?
