Ok I only have one dns address and it ends in 1.1 and the ip
address ends in 00. I do have a cable that came with the router
but there is no where to put it in the router I don't think. One
end of the cable is in my dsl modem, the other end is in my
laptop. I have a cable that came with the dsl modem that we had
plugged in the modem and the laptop but I took it out and put the
router cable in its place. I do not have a network or anything
like that set up. I am not accessing the router at all through
my laptop. I can connect to linksys but nothing more then make a
connection. The wep key is in the router? I don't understand
that. I have no wireless capability at the momement for my
laptop. A cd came with the router but the man at staples said
said sine I was using it with my laptop then I don't need it
right now. My router did not come from my internet provider only
the dsl modem did.

It feels to me like it's in here somewhere.
Wireless
If you are using a wireless connection, do the following:
1. Put your wireless card in.
2. From Main Menu, press Options, C, W.
3. You will see "wireless card active; currently no."
4. Press Y for yes.
5. Space down to "scan for a network"?
6. Press Enter.
7. You will see "list of available connections."
8. Once you see it, press the Space bar to see a connection.
9. You will be placed into the "configuration items list." The
only thing you'll have to enter is your configuration name.
10. Press Enter. The SSID and all other settings should go
into their default values.
11. If you do not use WEP or other security, you should just
be able to save the configuration "as is", since the BN should
pick up these settings from the router.
12. Press dots 2-6 Chord to add the record.
There are always a couple of things to look for, if you're not
making a connection: If your network is not a secure network, you
should be able to connect to any web site. If it is a secure
network, you will need to type in the WEP code which is in your
router I believe. Another dead giveaway is the DNS address. Go
into the connectivity menu and
look for active connection details once you have made your
connection. Look for the first DNS address. There is also a
secondary DNS address but you aren't concerned with that one. If
the DNS address ends in a higher number with the last two
numbers, you don't have a proper connection. Usually the address
ends in 01, 05, or possibly 10 but it won't end in a number
higher than the possible connections your router can handle. If
you only have one or two devices connected to your network and
you are getting a higher number, you don't have a good
connection. Just an indicator to watch for.
The next thing is to determine how your network is secured.
Network Places
If you desire to set up with your computer, do the following:
When asked for a server, type in your computer's name. Press
enter. Leave user name and password blank. Say no when asked if
you want to update default log on information. Press space with
E. You will then be asked for a network place, accept the
default. After that, you should be placed in your computers hard
drive.

Hi listers, I had my dad change a setting on the router but I am
still unable to do anthing except connect to the router. I can
connect to the signal but nothing else. It still says can't find
server. I have tired testing connection many times since
yesterday and it always says bad ip address or something to that
nature.
