Everytime I try to connect to the net ala psp, it says "Communication with the server failed. A DNS error has occured (8041040D)". My linksys seems to work, it shows on my psp with 100% signal strength. And I typed in the website correct (ex: msn.com). Anyone else get this or know how to fix it?\

EDIT: And while I`m at it what is with this bs cache system eh? A flash game thats 1.4 mb works almost all the way to the end and a 646kb flash game would say "Out of memory" as soon as I clicked start! My cache settings is on the 2mb one. Which is better to use, that or "Do not use"?

**NEvolution** · 06-19-2006, 06:51 PM

Does it show "Internet: Succeeded" when you do 'Test Connection'?

**NickyP** · 06-19-2006, 06:54 PM

No, it doesn`t. Says "internet: failed" when I test the connection

**NEvolution** · 06-19-2006, 06:56 PM

Try using an Easy/Automatic connection and see what happens.

**NickyP** · 06-19-2006, 06:57 PM

I did. Still failed

**NEvolution** · 06-19-2006, 07:00 PM

Try restoring default settings.

Also, you are posting/online using a connection through that router right? (Just to make sure that the router is letting you go online).

**NickyP** · 06-19-2006, 07:00 PM

Did I mention that this linksys was given to me? Just the box? I just pulgged it into my computer.. think theres some kind of software I need?

No, I`m posting using my dsl. The router I got only for my psp

EDIT: Actually I`m not that sure O_o My dsl is connected to the PC via usb, and my dsl is connected also to the router via ethernet. No ethernet plug on my PC

**NEvolution** · 06-19-2006, 07:03 PM

Well then.
The basic structure is:
Internet > Modem > Router > Computer/PSP/Laptop

You cannot just plug it into the computer and expect it to to work.

Well it is. Just not with the same cable.

Internet >usb> Modem >ethernet> router

PC doesn`t have an ethernet plug on the back

**NEvolution** · 06-19-2006, 07:17 PM

With the usb modem it's:

Internet > wall > phone line > Modem > usb > PC

right?

And there isn't an additional lan jack right?

Cause I remember getting a usb modem from my ISP and it wouldn't work with my router.

Tried it. ipconfig isn`t recognized, neither is ipconfig/all

**NickyP** · 06-19-2006, 07:33 PM

Bump?

**Realn0whereman** · 06-20-2006, 06:58 AM

zWTF? how is ipconfig not recongnized. what error do u get

**quik1** · 06-20-2006, 09:58 AM

this is exactly what I got and I'm still not able to get on. anybody else?

**NickyP** · 06-20-2006, 12:51 PM

'IPCONFIG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

**FreePlay** · 06-20-2006, 01:33 PM

Which version of Windows are you on?

**NickyP** · 06-20-2006, 01:36 PM

Windows XP

**FreePlay** · 06-20-2006, 01:41 PM

Um, then your installation is screwed. ipconfig comes standard -- C:\windows\system32\ipcon fig.exe . If that's not there, reinstall Windows, because you're likely missing some other important files.

**NickyP** · 06-20-2006, 01:45 PM

Its there. It just opens and then closes O_o

EDIT: Couldn`t I just use whatsmyipaddress.com?

**FreePlay** · 06-20-2006, 01:50 PM

...
It opens and closes because it's a console-based program. Run it directly from the command prompt.

And whatsmywhateverIdon'tcare gives you your public IP, rather than your local one.

**NickyP** · 06-20-2006, 02:49 PM

Alright so it worked. Now how does this help me? All I get is a DNS suffix, IP, Subnet mask, and default gateway

**quik1** · 06-20-2006, 05:32 PM

now do ipconfig/all that should give you your DNS's and whatnot that you have left to fill out.

**NickyP** · 06-20-2006, 06:32 PM

but ipconfig/all didn`t work before. I had to type C:\windows\system32\ipcon fig.exe for it to work last time.

**FreePlay** · 06-20-2006, 09:02 PM

Then type all that and follow it by /all, of course.

**NickyP** · 06-20-2006, 09:30 PM

C:\windows\system32\ipcon fig.exe/all "directory is invalid". Same with C:\windows\system32\ipcon fig.exe\all

**quik1** · 06-21-2006, 07:15 AM

Jeez......your computer is stupider than mine. this is bafelling.....

**FreePlay** · 06-21-2006, 10:34 AM

No, it's just him. You have to put a SPACE between the .exe and the /all. Wow.
