I have a land connection broadband modem which i got with my broadband
package(bt) which was installed from the cd. I now have a 2nd Hand Netgear
DM824M wireless ADSL modem which i wish to install but no cd( was told i
did'nt need one). I now need to connect another computer in a different room
and wish to use wireless,can i use the wireless setup wizard,or do i have to
go about it a different way.I don't know much about this i dont know how to
configure the router i don't know if i should uninstall the broadband modem i
have already any help
 
Sounds like you need to swap your current broadband modem with the wireless
modem. I'd contact my broadband provider for instructions.

Or, you can add a wireless router to your system.

the following is based on a DG834 but i believe the interface is similar

connect the router to one computer with an ethernet cable otherwise when you
come to set wireless security you will lose connection.
to enter the setup for the netgear router use internet explorer, in the
address bar enter 192.168.0.1
assuming the router has been reset to the factory defaults the username is
admin (lowercase), the password is password (lowerecase)
if it is not set to the factory defaults - you will find a small button on
the rear hold this in for ten seconds with the power disconnected.

once in to the admin screen you will find a setup wizard link on the left
hand side
you will need your username and password for bt along with the following
encapsulation - PPPoA
multiplexing method - VC-Based
VPI - 0
VCI - 38

connect your adsl lead to the adsl port on the router this should get you
connected to your ADSL supplier without the need of your existing modem.

the wireless setup is fairly straight forward and requires decisions from
you - name of SSID, encryption level and key, mac address filtering etc
i would suggest leaving security until you have both computers connected
successfully then setting wep keys etc.

good luck

I don't really understand your English or your problem, fully. Having never
heard of "BT Yahoo lock" I Googled it. This modicum of research initiative
gave lots of results, including the following sites:

In the last, "BT modem lock" is described as, "permits your modem to make an
internet call only via the BTYahoo number" and someone else suggests
removing "BT Internet Connection Manager" from Add/Remove Programs to stop
connection problems.

Failing that, try contacting BT as this isn't really an XP problem per se.
