Uhhh check drivers and stuff for your PC's wireless card? Make sure they are up to date/correct.
Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.

So are you trying to connect to the wireless network or using the Ethernet port? Disable the ethernet port if you're not using it. Have you tried "diagnose the problem"?

Well i configured my IPv4 to automatically obtain everything for my ethernet port (it worked) but then I tried the same for my Wireless but not so lucky, should I do manual and get the info from my domain ip or my router ip?
