Ok. this is my first attempt at setting up a wireless connection. i got a linksys wireless router. i put the cd in, and follow all the instuctions on how to hook everything up. i have all the lights lit up and everything. but when the cd is configuring the router (after i enter my ip addy, subnet mask, etc). an error message comes up saying "router config. error".

but if i ignore that message and leave everything the way it is, my brothers laptop works wirelessly and i dont have any connection on the PC.

but then, if i switch the cables (take the one thats connected PC to router and change it PC to modem) the PC works, then i lose wireless.

any help would be great.. ive been searching and found info about ipconfig in dos and tried random stuff and still lost. Thanks, Rich
