Okay, not sure if this is the right forum to post in....


You see, I have a Linksys WRT54G router at home. There is something really strange going on.... I have 3 computers(including a laptop)and I only use wireless connection with 1 computer and the rest with cables. You know how the router is connected to the modem, the lines coming out of the router and to the modem. When the modem and router is turned off, the computer that I use with wireless internet actually still works.... Shocked

Once, my modems ADSL link light(model: DLink 300G) was lit off and it can't connect to the internet if the ADSL link light is off BUT my other computer that uses the wireless connection STILL WORKS.

What could possibly be wrong?

When you say the computer "still works" do you mean it still connects to the internet? (Computers don't need an internet connection to work).

If that's what you meant, you could have a neighbour whose wireless router is unsecured (most are) and your computer with the wireless connection is hooking up to that one because your router is off. Or maybe it was before but you didn't know it.

I have to tell you, many people REALLY HATE IT when people write stuff like "PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" in topic titles.
