Calling any wireless router users!

llol_slim

Sorry to post another wireless question, but none of the other threads cover my issue.

I am a virgin.net broadband user, and they have emailed me the settings
that are supposed to work to set up my D-Link router but i just can't get it to work.
Has anybody successfully connected their router with Virgin?
Im desperate
Thanks in advance
Laurie

Yup, I have, but it is a Linskys.

ok, well I managed to set it up at last
But now whenever I try and connect to wireless it just stays on the window "waiting for the network to be ready"
Any clues?

HI there, Are you setting up a wireless network or using it for internet access or both

Hiya ideally both, but at the moment, just to share internet connection.
I can see the connection, but it just stays at "waiting for the network" when I try to connect. (im using WPA PSK if it makes a difference)
Thanks

OK forget the network side of things for the mo, are you getting the internet on wireless?

See this thread, particularly post #19.

ok thanks Chippy ive trid all that, still no joy :-(

@murk11 I can connect with WIFI on my laptop if i disable WPA and go for no encryption. Meaning the obvious would be the wpa key is incorrect, however, ive copied and pasted this and it still doesnt work.

ive got a little bit futher. I stopped the software that comes with the laptop to connect to wireless and so only Windows wireless Zero thing is running.
It now gets a little futher :
It shows
aquiring network address
then goes back to
Waiting for the network to be ready
And then gives up :-(
Ive tried no encryption, and that isnt working either!
This is the same problem with my work router and home router (Work's is across the road and I get coverage in my home)
It MUST surely be a setting with the routers?!
Thanks
