Re: NTL Wireless connection?!?! HELP



Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I have finally managed to get
both PC and laptop up and running and managed to secure it too.

Just for anyone who's interested I connected my cable modem via
ethernet to the router, bought a USB - Ethernet adaptor and then
connected the router to the pc via the LAN connection on the router to
my new USB - Etherned device. Then after much playing managed to secure
the wireless network too.

Once again, thanks for all your help.

You can't use both USB and ethernet on the cable modem at the same time.
There are two ways around this:

1. Reboot the modem with just USB PC or ethernet router connected, each
time you want to switch from one to the other.
2. Get ethernet or wireless capability for your USB PC, and then connect
it via the router.

I have a desktop that is connected to the Internet via a standard NTL
broadband modem through the USB. This modem also has a Ethernet
connection on the back. I have tried to connect my wireless router via
a cat 5 cable to the modem (not sure if i'm in the right port though as
I have the option of WAN or LAN?) and my laptop receives the wireless
signal and connects but it won't connect to the internet? Any idea's???
Beginning to loose hair over this now! :(

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
