that is correct i cannot access the routers web interface, ill try it again and try and reset it.

By the way if this helps i have a belkin adsl modem with built in wireless 802.11g router. it is a year and a half old.

OT: if a buy a new router ( a different brand and a new one like netgear) and install the cd an all should my internet work then? if all else fails this would be my only reasonable option.

well i reseted it an i am able to see the belkin interface i just have to remember my isp username an pw lol ill post again if anything happens

Thanks for all the help lads

the easier solution for you would be to set ur computer to work on the network as the network is first, then set the network to the way it should be, silly people who do this for a living and for a life, you should know that

go to control panel-->network connections-->right click wireless network connection-->properties-->scroll to the bottom of the list and go to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) click it and click properties

uncheck the boxes that say obtain an ip address automatically and obtain DNS server address automatically

enter in 192.168.2.xxx (where x is free ip, probably 10 or something higher, keep trying until it works) for your ip
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.2.1

preferred dns server 192.168.2.1

and that should work and u can connect to your router again and internet and what not

do what all those other nice people said and set it back to dhcp and set the range to like 2-20 and set the xbox to like 21 (2-20 will allow 19 computers to connect automatically)

any more questions you can pm me, or just keep posting on the forum, but its not as fast


haha, never mind, u already got it fixed and posted before i finished my big long explanation, o well
