Hi all.

I have just had my virginmedia broadband installed.

The modem is downstairs next to the TV. To save running cables everywhere, I bought an Actiontec 54 Mbps wireless Cable/DSL Router so I could go wireless in my bedroom. This is the only computer that will be on my network.

I am running Vista Home Basic. I had loads of problems getting the wireless adapter installed as the "found new hardware wizard" couldn't find a file. I have overcome that now and its installed perfectly.

The problem is installing the router. I have never gone wireless before so this is all new to me. I am connecting my router to the cable modem via an ethernet cable. The ethernet cable plugs in the modem via the "ethernet" socket, and in the router, the "cable/dsl" socket.

When I install the router, it tells me that my ethernet card needs configuring to a dynamic adress instead of a static IP address. This has lost me, and I really don't know what to do.

ANyopne have any ideas? Sorry to waffle on, but thought I'd give the whole situation.

Regards
