I have a question guys/gals...

I originally plugged the laptop right into the STB to set it up, no problem
I then connected the wireless router to the STB, no problem, set it up as another computer, worked aok
I'm on my machine upstairs and although it picks up the LAN aok and i can access the router's controls, I can't for the life of me, access the internet
Now, I don't know wether it's some issue with the lan card and the router? I don't know
The pcmcia card in the laptop (working) and the router are the same make (Buffalo), but the lan card on this machine isn't the same make.
But if they were incompatible, I wouldn't be able to access the router, right?
Hrm, so I have to take this machine downstairs and manually register the lan's mac address? I didn't think i'd need to, as I thought all pc's would share the wireless router's macaddress?
