Hello,

Trying to set up my brother in laws home network with Dell xp desktops.
They connect with DSL modem and are using a Linksys wireless router.
One desktop is wired to the router and has internet access. The desktop
in the family room is using a Belkin wireless usb network adapter. It
is set up with a WEP key and I was able to actually connect to the
network, but something is wrong because the web browser is not working.
When we set our wireless network up at my house, using a cable modem,
it was extremely simple, didnt really have to do anything. I did notice
on the wired machine, that when you open up a browser, the DSL login
page pops up and logs in automatically. Could the problem be the
desktop is not doing that therefore no internet? I am a novice at best
with this stuff...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks.

You need to setup PPPOE in the router. Check the MFG web site of the
router to see how to do this. Cable doesn't use PPPOE to logon.

Ok, after about 4 hours of pulling my hair out, triple checking each
setting, turns out, THE USERNAME AND PASSWORD MY BROTHER IN LAW GAVE ME
WAS WRONG!!! He gave me their user name and password for their email
account with the dsl company, not there internet log in. So, once that
was fixed, piece of cake, wow i was mad lol. Thanks for your response
anyways.
