Problems setting up a Linksys Wireless G router with Time Warner internet? - me41987 I'm trying to set up a Linksys wireless g router with my Time Warner internet. The network name keeps popping up and my computer appears to be connected to it. However, I can't get the internet to work. The online light is not on and when I try to connect via the ethernet cord, it's also not working. My computer has given me several errors. The main one is "there may be a problem with your domain name server." One of the other errors suggests turning the router off for 10 seconds and then turning it back on, which I've done several times, as well as restarting my computer. After clicking repair, it will say the problem's fixed. However, I'm still not connecting. I'm on hold with Time Warner, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas of other things to try. Thanks so much!

Best Answer: Try unplugging the power cable of your modem and router for about 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes is up, then plug in the power cable of the modem and let all of the lights come on as usual. After all lights are on on the modem, then plug in the power cable of the router and let it sync up with the modem. This should allow everything to come-up correctly. Now make sure that your computer is set to automatically configure its Internet connection information using DHCP and you should then be able to get on the Internet. - annorax64
