1st I moved this to the right room....

anyway

This is the way have my network setup

Doing thing high up the range so

Router is xxx.xxx.xxx.250
Printserver xxx.xxx.xxx.251
Bridge xxx.xxx.xxx.252

PC's

Server xxx.xxx.xxx.1 Wired
Lappy 1 xxx.xxx.xxx.2 Wireless
Lappy 2 xxx.xxx.xxx.3 Wireless
PDA xxx.xxx.xxx.4 Wireless
XBOX xxx.xxx.xxx.5 Wireless via bridge.

As you can see I do not use DHCP, pain in the ass.

Before we setup security we get the network working.

So Server is hard wired with a i
IP of xxx.xxx.xxx.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.250 < Note Router IP address

DNS Primary from ISP
DNS Secondary from ISP

Your router will tell you these when connected to BB.

Follow these instructions and you should be onto a winner.

remember wired and wireless have exactly the same basic config. the only diference is the security required

IS security enabled on the router??

if so this could be blocking the internet signal, althjough i doubt this is your problem because if this was the case then it would just not connect at all.

check that the CROSSOVER cable is connected from the modem to the router and not a standard one.

Might be an idea to make sure the connection is working on the router before you start messing too much with the pc

Remember that ADSL is not plug and play You cant just plug it in and it will work Sure, it will connect to other PCs etc wirelessly, but you wont get any network out of it. You will need to enter the webinterface of the router by typing its IP address into Internet Explorer/Firefox, logging in with the default username/password, and then adding all your connection details.

Things you should check are set up:

Connection Type: It should most probably be "PPPoE"
Username: the username you would use to connect if you were dialling up the modem from your PC
Password: the password that corresponds to the above username
MAC Address: some ISPs require a specific MAC address. If this is the case, you'll need to input that into the router too.
IP address: You'll need to determine whether you want a static IP or a dynamically assigned one. If you need a static IP, you need to input it

Other than that, make sure security is off etc as others have suggested.
If your computer is getting assigned an IP from the router then you are on the right track, its just the connection settings

thanx for all your help peeps i got it to connect to the internet i dont really know how i did it but i did it its just when i put an antivirus software on the comp the comp just stoped responding so all i can thinck is that it must of allready had some sort of antivirus on there but i have got my mums computer here with me to try and uninstall the antivirus software but its really tacking its time.

SOunds like the AV SW was blocking the connection, what AV SW are you running!

 

[jase02476]

i installed norton on there but its not the internet its the computer now its going really slow and it will not let me into add or remmove coz its going to slow

 

[Devilfish]

IMO...Norton is the worst antivirus under the sun! I used it once and it slowed my PC to a snails pace. Uninstall the email scanner and shit like that! I use Free AVG on my lappy and Bullguard on my desktop (only cause it came with my pc).
