Need help setting up a wireless network

OK, login to your router on a wired computer and go to the wireless settings.

Basic:
Mode: I leave it at mixed. You can set it at G-only if that card is the only things connecting (I use a NDS, so I leave it at mixed).
SSID: Type anything in but make sure you remember what it is!
Channel: Typically 11, but again, just note what you use.
SSID Broadcast: Leave it on for now, but after you get this fixed, turn it off.

(Save Settings)

Wireless Security
For now, leave it disabled. But later, turn on WEP.
Default: 1
WEP Encryption: 128 bits
Passphrase: Whatever
Remember what your WEP key #1 is.
(Save Settings)

Wireless MAC Filter
For now, leave it disabled. But later, find out what your MAC address is for your card (when it's connected, it'll be listed under Edit MAC Filter List).

Advanced Wireless Settings
Nothing you need to do here.


Start with that and see if it helps. Remember what you need to list for the Wireless NIC side (SSID, WEP).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

To the outside world, both computers will be the same IP. To your router, they won't. One computer will be 192.168.1.100 and the other 192.168.1.101. But if you go to www.whatismyip.com both computers will give you the same IP address...something completely different.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, considering that there are some viruses that will waltz right in if your firewall isn't up, better safe than sorry.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
