I can get on the internet if hardwired but not through the wireless. I've amended the settings on the network (original wireless network got deleted on reset) eg added a wep key to ensure secure and added internet settings eg user name,password etc but ISP doesn't have a static IP so left this blank but it just won't work. Everyother light is on on the router execpt the online LED. Really not technical but any advice greatly appreciated
4 Select the connection type from the Connect Type drop-down menu. ? Always Connected means that Internet connection to your ISP is always on. ? Auto - Triggered by Traffic means your Router will automatically connect to your ISP every time a PC needs to access the Internet. ? Manual - Start in Disconnected means that after re-booting the Router, the Internet connection will need to be re-established manually by the user. ? Manual - Start in Connected means that after re-booting the Router, it will automatically establish a connection to your ISP.

this sounds like Manual - Start in connected mode will get the ip address and dns settings automatically from the ISP
using adsl on phone line then use pppoe for the protocol
DCHP server has to be set up also and on
The DCHP server ip address range is 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway is 192.168.1.1
pppoe protocol allows the ADSL to connect many computers on the one isp global ip address allocated to your line via using different port numbers to translate the computers internal ip address on the dhcp server through the router.

The last thing you want to do is get rid of the password - operating an unsecured WiFi network can be very hazardous to your privacy & finances! You need to set the WEP password in the PC's. If you install the 3Com router software and use that to set things up, it will guide you through doing the job.
Also, it's better to use WPA encryption rather than WEP which is now regarded as insecure and little better than nothing at all. If you can get it working OK on WEP, it'd be easy enough to change it to WPA in the router & then change the setup on the PC's.
Unless you live in the back of beyond, this really is necessary I'm afraid :{

Hi, start internet explorer (blue e) in the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press enter
in the new screen, type in the password to enter the set jup (as it says, admin is the default)
click wireless settings on the left hand side of the screen, click encryption, select wpa-psk from the drop down boxwhere it says pre-shared key, type in a MEMORABLE password and then click apply. Now you will lose your wireless signal. Panic ye not! Click on the smatt TV in the lower right hand side of the screen (this is called the sys-tray) you will now see that the wireless icon which looks a bit like a telly eith 3 yellow arcs coming out of it's right hand side has a red cross on it. Click it once, click view wireless networks and then on the new screen click refresh network list. You will after a few seconds see your network -click on it and then on connect. A new box will come up asking you for the networe key aka password. Enter the memorable password you have just forgotten in the upper and lower boxes and press enter. Et voila! you now have an encrypted wireless network and you can only get onto it if you know the memorable password! Have fun!
