Wireless Router Thanks for reply but now got router working but cannot access internet through Windows 98, works ok on my laptop which is Vista. Spoke to my broadband provider who state that they won't help as I didn't buy router from them!! They also said it would take a while to re-configure computer to get access to internet!! I know that Microsoft don't help with Win 98 anymore. BOADBAND PROVIDER DID SAY THAT ROUTER SHOULD GIVE ME ACCESS TO INTERNET THROUGH WIN 98.

try to double check you dafault gateway, perform ipconfig to verify. also check if you have static ip on your pc..

Hope it helps!

Your friend is able to go online using the same wireless network. that means the wireless network is working properly and there might be a problem with your computer .
You said that you can connect to the wireless network but you can not go online.
Check the IP address and the default gateway of the computer.
Try to ping the router and DNS server and check what happens.
Make sure that there is no static IP address on the computer.

If you connect the computer directly to the modem, does it work?
If that works then the modem is working.
Now connect the computer to the router and the modem to the router.
You will need to open the set up page of the router to check the settings of the router.
You can set up the router without the CD also.
It is very easy.

What is the Operating system on the laptop ?
If it is XP then in the bottom right hand corner you will find Wireless network connection ( looks like 1 computer monitor). Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is windows Vista, then in the bottom right hand corner you will find 2 computer monitor icon. Use that icon to connect to the wireless network.
If it is Windows 98/ME/2000 then use the adapter utility to connect to the wireless network.
For MAC you will see the AIRPORT icon at the top.

Check the wireless settings of the router first . Make sure that yopu have all the wireless settings of the router. If you are not sure about the settings, then open the router set up and check the settings.

Sorry John, Windows Vista Home doesn't allow network printing. You need to connect physically the printer to the computer OR replace Windows Vista.

The router you're trying to acess may not be set up for Vista or may not be compatible with Vista. I had to upgrade the router at my shop in order to work on Vista OS machines.

With Vista on the Laptop it should be just a matter of double clicking the router in the network settings, vista should automatically configure the connection.
This has happened to me before and this is what I did just to see if it worked, and it did flawlessly.

What version of windows are you running? 98, 2000, XP, Vista?
