Can anyone help me ?
I hope so
I have set up my own wireless broadband connection with no problems.

I used an Addons Modem/Router connected by lan cable to my computer and a pcmcia card for my laptop.
I use AOl as my ISP

However with the same modem/router and a usb wireless adapter I can't get the bloody thing to work on Wanadoo on a mates computer !!
The Internet explorrer just keeps saying that I am working offline and tries to connect to the adsl modem dialler.I removed the dialler and it still won't work.
I have updated al the details and wep details on the Addons Program but still no luck

Can anyone help ??

If it's anything like AOLs dial up, it will not allow basic sharing of the internet connection. But I've not used AOL for broadband, so I'm not sure how it worsk.. Best of Luck!

No the AoL setup I have works a treat

Its Wanadoo that I am having the problems with

Thanks Anyways

Is his computer seeing the access point?

What happens when you try to connect? It should prompt you for a WEP key.

Have you tried disabling WEP on the access point just to see if he can connect that way?

Wannado is fussy i use wannado heres the settings you need on the router...

VPI=0
VCI= 38
encapsulation= PPoA VC-Mux

and youll need to enter your m8s username and password into the settings too, save it and write to flash and it should work. . o and make sure drivers for the usb addon are installed properly to, and run the networking wizard on his computer to connect through a gateway/router. youll need to set the preffered DNS and Default gateway settings(in the TCP/Ip) to the network address of the router normally 10.0.0.2. hope that helps.

Thanks for all the replies

I now have the desktop on the wireless network and it is working a treat.

However

Connecting the laptop is proving more tricky

It is a wireless ready laptop and I have configured it as I thought would work.

It is showing that it is connected in the wireless network dialogue but Internet explorer still says no internet connection is available

Must be something simple I reckon.

Can Anyone help ?

Thanks

Are you getting DHCP? Check the status tab of the wireless connection and see if you're getting an IP, gateway and DNS assigned. If so, ping the router and see if it responds (router's IP is the gateway address).

I just cannot connect

The DHCP says manually configured

Also no dns has been assigned

I am really lost now

The laptop is using the installed wireless network adapter (intel)

Could anyone give me the settings and tell me how to insert them manually

The routers address is 192.168.1.1

Help !!

Regards

Manual IP: 192.168.1.x (x being any address not being used)
Subnet Mas: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
DNS: (Depends on your router - you can check the other computer that is working to see what IP it uses either it's using the gateway (router) address for the DNS (some routers act as a DNS relay) or else it's using the actual DNS servers for your ISP.

Ok Thanks for all the help
It s much appreciated.
To solve the problem
Set the MTU reading to 1400 in the WAN setup
Works a treat
