Wireless router help

Hi guys,
I live in rural spain so can't get a landline let alone broadband. I
signed up with a local ISP who came out and installed an antenna on my
roof so I can access the internet via their wifi hotspot. Basically I
have a lan cable from this to plug into my laptop. OK works great. So
then I get more adventurous and buy a wireless router so I don't need
the lan cable to my laptop but use the laptops in built wifi to
connect to the router and the internet.
Everything works fine, but I can't access the router to change it's
settings anymore.
Guy I bought it off told me to turn off dhcp, so I accessed router
setup via html at 192.168.1.1 and did just that. He also told me to
change from unsecured to secured, but after I've turned of dhcp I
can't get the setup page on that IP anymore.
Heres a few more details -
windows vista home premium
compaq with inbuilt wifi
e-tech adwg02 wireless router
isp's network cable from antenna plugged into 1st of four lan
connections
network settings show my computer with an IP allocated from ISP, a
gateway with IP allocated by ISP, and in the middle, the ssid of the
router, but with no IP.
It all works fine but I need to access the router to turn on security.
Any ideas, help appreciated.
Thanks,
Nam-kha
