Hello,
I'm trying to setup my wireless network after moving and I'm having trouble. In the past I've never had trouble before but am now for some reason. After connecting the phone wall jack to the DSL modem, the wireless router to the DSL modem, and the wireless router to the PC. I try to access the linksys config page, but it just times out and I can't connect to it. I thought it was the firewall possibly so I turn them off but it still does it. I'm I missing something? I would appreciate any help that you can offer.
Thanks,
Eric.

Make sure your Wirless router is turned on (Not trying to make you look stupid, but sat there myself for a while trying to figure somethign out, solved it by pressing the on switch :P) and try rebooting it (Reset button, maybe?) and try powering everything of and powering up the Modem, (wait about 30 seconds), Router (30 more seconds), then computer. And make sure all your cables are secure and everyhting.

First make sure you have an IP address on your own computer. Get a DOS prompt..
Click Start
Select Run
Type in cmd
..and press enter
Type in ipconfig /all
You should see an IP address like 192.168.1.5 or 192.168.1.100 or whatever. If you don't you may need to setup your network card to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP or you can hard code an address. Do this via the control panel, network settings etc etc.
If you do see an IP address like the ones I suggested - try to ping the linksys router.
ping 192.168.1.1
Success?

Well, even if you're not connected to the internet, you should still be able to access the router. Make sure you're visiting http://192.168.1.1 and also make sure that you have everything plugged into the right spots on the router :) (oh, and did you plug the router's power cable in?)

Try typing 192.168.1.1 into your browser window, you should be able to set it up that way
