Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend who has bought a laptop and wants to run it wirelessly with their Telstra cable. They bought a belkin wireless router and we connected it between their SB5101 cable modem and their old networked desktop.
Auto setup program needed all the static IP address,dns etc from Telstra which we rang up and got eventually...
Managed to set up the laptop to connect wirelessly to the router but we couldnt get any internet access from either the laptop(vista) or desktop(2000pro).
In the process of mucking around I gave up cause i was pissy, disconnected the router and got the cable modem working again with the telstra supplied details in the TCP/IP setting of the network card. (right way to do it?)
Feeling some what encouraged I had a fiddle around with the belkin router again and inadvertantly (on purpose) changed the settings for it being an access point only. It said I could access its control screen though 192.168.2.254 instead of the 192.168.2.1 but I couldnt for some reason. So I am stuck at the moment...
Any suggestions what I should do next? I feel I need to be able to recover the belkin router back to its default settings then concentrate on the network/internet access issue.
Cheers
Steve
