bkcin Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Is it a router and an adsl modem? Or just a router? If its both: Try goin on my network places, then network connections. Right click on the wireless icon, click on properties, then highlight tcp/ip connections and click properties and make sure that the 'obtain ip addess automatically is selected' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsteve Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 okies it could be the midget? hehe its a linksys wireless-G ADSL home gateway router and the laptop is an acer inspiron. I know the laptop is fne cause if i sit at the bottom of the garden i can piggy back on someone elses connection. But its a bit cold to sit out side.

Litotes Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Have you configured your router to connect to the isp? You will need to access the router using a hard wired connection, get up the admin web page and enter your account details for your isp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnkysknky Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 On the first page of the router config screen you need to set encapsulation method to PPPoA. You also need to set VCI to 38 (default 35). Enter your username and password as given by the ISP and you may as well check the keep alive box. Rest of the settings should be ok on default. Once you've done that then click the save settings button. The DSL light should start flashing green before turning solid to show it's synch'd with the exchange. The internet light will then flash before lighting to show that it's logged in and you have a working internet connection. Once that's sorted then look at setting the wireless up properly i.e. turning security on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
