Today I went and bought a Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless-G Router to provide a wireless hub to connect my PC and laptop to in the home.
I installed the router as per the manual via my laptop as it needed to be connected to the DSL line aswell as the computer. The location of the PC doesn't allow it to be used to configure, so I did it with the lappie.
Anyway, I configured the router correctly and it was picked up on my LAN, aswell as wirelessly on the laptop.
The laptop connected to the router with a wireless connection so I removed the ethernet cable, thinking all was well.
However, despite being connected to the network, the laptop does not seem to want to use the new modem to browse, and when I try opening a page with Mozilla no page is found.
I installed the USB wireless dongle thingy on my PC to try it there, and it too connects with a strong connection to the router, but again, no page is found on the internet.
Am I right in assuming I maybe just haven't told the computers to use the new router as the default internet connection? Or is there something more sinister going on?
I'm with BT Broadband on a 2 meg connection if that's of any help, but like I say, the initial configuration or the router seems spot on!
Over to the techie wizards please? Many thanks!
Joe
