Hello everyone!
I'm new here, and I really could use some assistance. Generally, I am usually always able to fix computer problems and such. That said, I can not for the life of me get the wifi running in my campus-owned apartment at school.
Heres what I have:
Brand new iMac-2.7Ghz
Brand new Belkin N300 Model F9K1002
What the school supplies:
A Paradyne Modem model 6211-I1-200 ADSL2+ Bridge/router
High speed DSL internet, using supposedly DHCP Internet,
Now, what we are supposed to do, is run an Ethernet from the phone input to the Paradyne Line input, and the LAN Ethernet port on the Paradyne to the modem input on the Belkin wireless router.
Now, I have tried many ways to get these set up. I have spoken to Belkin's tech support, who assured me after troubleshooting that the router is working.
I have also talked with my school, who is the internet service provider. They checked my modem, and it is working (which I knew since I could run an ethernet cable directly from this to my computer and get it internet). The problem seems to be that, while I can get internet through the modem, and while the router works, it cannot "ping" even though it does detect the DNS server and also IS getting an IP from the modem.
Anyways, as I start classes Monday, along with having to write up some stuff to my research project(biochem major, always have to be doing something even when I do have free time from classes :/) and fill out all my applications to grad schools in the coming month, I really would love any assistance you guys can provide to me to get them to sync up their internet.
